Hexter Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hi :) I've been modding Bioware games for a few years now, but I'm only really familiar with straight-forward overwrite mods.A couple of mods I want to install for DA:O require DAupdater (extra dog slot, beyond fereldan base chest, expanded inventory) and I'm at a loss as to how to use it. :(I've tried dragging the files directly into updater, but nothing happens.I've tried extracting the folder to my desktop and using "select DAZIPs", but it never detects anything.I have no idea what else to do. Please help! I've used DAupdater on single file mods in the past and it worked perfectly. The mods that I'm having trouble with all have a folder labeled "Contents" that branches off onto packages and addins. Any help would be appreciated!Thanks!

Thandal Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 The DAUpdater only works on mods packaged as ".dazip" files. You don't unpack/extract the mod, you leave it alone. First, start the DAUpdaterPoint it to the .dazip file you want to install (Click "Select DAZIPs")Note: You can repeat this step to select more than oneThen click "Install Selected" While there's no "Completed" message, when the progress bar fills, you're done. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexter Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 The files don't end in .dazip, though. The readme specifically states to use DAupgrader, but I can't find any files that end in .dazip in the folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 You are probably using a browser that "helpfully" re-names file types it thinks it recognizes. Try re-naming the download to ".dazip", then using DAUpdater as described above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexter Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Tried that too. :( With every file I could find. Thanks for helping me this, though. I really appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 What is the name of one of the mods you're trying to install? Exactly. And what is the name of the file you downloaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexter Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) All of the mods that I'm having trouble with look the same, but the mod files I tried renaming to .dazip were a part of Base Chest. "What is the name of the file I downloaded?" Sorry, I'm a bit confused by that. Do you mean what file did I try to rename to .dazip?If so, I tried all of them. I wasn't exactly sure which ones I needed to install, so I tried all of them one after the other and none of them worked. Their names are:beyondferelden.cifbeyondferelden_module.erfbeyondferelden_modcore.erfbeyondferelden_package.erf Sorry if I misunderstood.

Thandal Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 No, NONE of those files should be re-named anything at all. I mean, "What is the name of the file that your browser is trying to download from the Nexus?" 'Frinstance, you mentioned "Extra Dog Slot". The full (correct) filename when downloading that mod is: "dao_extradogslot_1_41-664.dazip".Is that what you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexter Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Ok, I think I get it now. :) The file name is: BaseChest-61.zip. Is that what you're looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexter Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 I got it to work~! I renamed the main files .dazip and ran it through daupdater with no problems! Thanks for all your help! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
