You're welcome. Always glad to help :biggrin:

I think the toolset can't find the other references if you click on the resource properties you see that gheyna is referenced by many other dlgs so you maybe have to import first the other *.dadbdata before you can import the IA_Dialogs.dadbdata. Edit: Tested it myself. Works now flawlessly:

I tried again doing something with Warden's Keep. I was able to get the area layout in the toolset with http://social.bioware.com/wiki/datoolset/index.php/Tutorial:_Using_DLC_areas_in_your_mods Problem is only I can't remove the blood or restore the destructed areas because area layouts aren't editable. Next I tried creating a new area but this doesn't seem to be that easy especially placing the correct objects so it looks like the Keep. At least creating quests, spawning merchants etc. is now all possible (except changing the interior). However I think that the original idea of a Warden headquarter with destroyed areas would be kind of strange because Levi said that it had been restored (to some degree).

The error says that the author of the mod hasn't included a reference resource for ntb100cr_gheyna.dlg. Maybe post which mod you try to import into the toolset. I will then try to import it myself. Otherwise you also can open the dabdata with winrar/winzip/7-zip, extract the resource and open the xml file with the notepad.

I would simply spawn him with a script. The toolset name is spo000cr_levi, you can find in My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Offers\dao_prc_onrx_1 the creature, scripts etc. It is also possible that the dragon age updater process couldn't download the offer file (which is responsible for spawning Levi). Maybe try reinstalling: http://na.llnet.bioware.cdn.ea.com/u/f/eagames/bioware/dragonage/offers/DAO_PRC_ONRX_1/DAO_PRC_ONRX_1_1.0.dazip If the location on the map doesn't appear maybe reset all plot flags (you can get them with logging http://social.bioware.com/wiki/datoolset/index.php/ECLog.ini) so you have to talk again to him.

The health can be changed in the creatureranks.xls. Every time you enter a new area the health, damage etc. is set so you can't change it afterwards (e.g. Lothering if you already were there you can't change anymore the health/damage etc.). A good creature scaling add-in is http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=354 (Combat Tweaks - Creature Scaling Tweaks). I think tweak 1 is sufficient, with tweak 2 and 3 my companions always died due to too much damage. To change just the health open C:\Program Files\Dragon Age\tools\Source\2DA\creatureranks.xls and change the fHealthScale at your convenience and compile it then with the ExcelProcessor.exe

Put the harden.ncs file in packages\core\override, open the console, and type in runscript harden. If you did it all right a message should be displayed. Source: #include "wrappers_h" #include "plt_genpt_alistair_main" void main() { WR_SetPlotFlag(PLT_GENPT_ALISTAIR_MAIN, ALISTAIR_MAIN_GOLDANA_TOLD_HARDEN, TRUE); DisplayFloatyMessage(GetHero(), "Sucessfully hardened Alistair.", FLOATY_MESSAGE, 16777215, 4.0); } Compiled: http://filebeam.com/1e92087ab629a3f8b4218a5fd7ecad91

I have no problem opening the ERF files. As far as I know there isn't any tool other than the toolset to open the erf files. But maybe tell me exactly in which package (texturepack.erf?) they can be found then I can send them you.

I don't think that the developers of the game made it so complicated. When you enter a conversation a script will be run that hides your helmet and does other things like setting music etc. Or am I wrong? I found for instance the script gen00cs_cutscene_end which is run by many cutscenes at the ending. Has anyone tried overriding maybe the EVENT_TYPE_ENTER/EVENT_TYPE_EXIT? Simply let the cutscene start as usual and then at the beginning/ending use the EquipItem/UnEquipItem command so that the helmets are hidden/shown again.

Make a new module (File --> Manage Modules) --> New --> type in a name under "Name" and "UID", set extended module to single player 2. Make a new script (File --> New script) 3. Paste the code in the script (you can extend it with more items if you want) 4. Set under File --> Manage Modules --> Properties --> Script --> the name of your script 5. Go on the page http://dragonagemodding.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/a-start-creating-a-module-to-give-your-player-an-item/ if you still have issues

I don't know what files you need for tinting but you can find them in the *.erf archives in My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\AddIns\dao_prc_cp_1 e.g dao_prc_cp_1\core\data\designeritems.erf\kcc_im_wep_mel_lsw_mar.uti

You can try replacing the spell_modal.ncs in the "My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override\denl_combattweaks" with the one from Bardic Haste, but this could cause some errors. If you have some experience with the toolset you can download the combat tweaks source and add a new effect to the spell eEffects[1] = EffectModifyMovementSpeed(HASTE_MOVEMENT_SPEED_MODIFIER); in line 162 (spell_modal.ncs)

Try this script: #include "wrappers_h" #include "plt_quickitem000pl_main" void main() { event ev = GetCurrentEvent(); int nEventType = GetEventType(ev); switch (nEventType) { case EVENT_TYPE_MODULE_LOAD: { object vendor = GetObjectByTag("store_camp_bodahn"); if (WR_GetPlotFlag(PLT_QUICKITEM000PL_MAIN, QUICKITEM_ADDED) || !IsObjectValid(vendor)) return; resource[] Item; Item[00]=R"your_item1.uti"; Item[01]=R"your_item2.uti"; int i = 0; while (i < GetArraySize(Item)) { CreateItemOnObject(Item[i], vendor); i++; } WR_SetPlotFlag(PLT_QUICKITEM000PL_MAIN, QUICKITEM_ADDED, TRUE); } } } Of course you can have it much simpler. In the above script I have added a while loop (you can also use a for loop or none at all is maybe even better) and a plot check so that the items aren't added with every game loading. If you just want to add the items: void main() { UT_AddItemToInventory(R"your_item1.uti", 1); // e.g gen_im_gift_alistair_amulet.uti UT_AddItemToInventory(R"your_item2.uti", 1); //etc. } Edit: Here is my script for adding all awakening items to the player inventory http://pastebin.com/NVzH9JEK

I don't think that anyone yet has done that mod but it is really simple to do in the toolset. If you want to try it yourself make a new script and use the command CreateItemOnObject. For Awakening gift items I have already made such a script that I can upload (if you need it). It gives the merchant/player all Awakening gift items.

I don't think that anyone will make such a mod therefore you probably have to create it yourself. This will mean much work (writing dialogs, creating scenes etc.) and if you're not familiar with the toolset it can be quite difficult. But theoretically yes, it is possible to create such a mod.

Maybe look in the sys_traps_h and reduce the fDelay. I don't know if this will work you might have to look somewhere else (traps.xls?) /**----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * @brief Arms a trap after fDelay seconds. *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ void Trap_ArmTrap(object oTrap, object oOwner, float fDelay = 5.0f) { Log_Trace(LOG_CHANNEL_SYSTEMS_TRAPS, "sys_traps_h.Trap_ArmTrap", "Arming trap " +ToString(oTrap) + " in " + ToString(fDelay) + " seconds, Owner: " + ToString(oOwner)); event evArm = Event(EVENT_TYPE_TRAP_ARM); evArm = SetEventObject(evArm, 0, oOwner); SetLocalObject(oTrap, PLC_TRAP_OWNER, oOwner); DelayEvent(fDelay, oTrap, evArm); // Unlock achievement for setting traps ACH_TrapAchievement(oOwner); }

Problem is you can't open the area files, because the DLC files aren't integrated into the toolset. It would be possible to spawn some npcs there via script or open it but nothing complex. So the best choice is to make a new area. I as well would like to see such a mod especially if in the Keep could be found some additional quests.

For Arrow of Slaying you have to open the talent_arrow_slaying.nss. I think int nDifference = Min(GetLevel(stEvent.oCaster) - GetLevel(stEvent.oTarget), 5) + 1; is what you need to change or open the talent_constants_h there you can also edit some things. For Holy Smite open the talent_aoe_instant or talent_constants_h. For Critical Strike open the talent_constants_h and edit CRITICAL_STRIKE_DEATHBLOW_PERCENTAGE.

Here's a script: #include "utility_h" #include "wrappers_h" #include "plt_YOUR_PLOT" void main() { event ev = GetCurrentEvent(); int nEventType = GetEventType(ev); switch (nEventType) { case EVENT_TYPE_MODULE_LOAD: { if (WR_GetPlotFlag(PLT_YOUR_PLOT, YOUR_PLOT_FLAG) return; UT_AddItemToInventory(R"your_item1.uti", 1); //for instance gxa_im_upg_run_ar1_arm.uti WR_SetPlotFlag(PLT_YOUR_PLOT, YOUR_PLOT_FLAG, TRUE); } } } To find the item names open the designeritems.erf with the toolset (C:\Program Files\Dragon Age\packages\core_ep1\data or C:\Program Files\Dragon Age\addins\dao_prc_ep_1\module\data). Minor things like adding items are no problem, only when you want to modify e.g existing Awakening scripts, you will have to wait for a toolset update.

Use this tool: http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=500 or http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=271 I haven't tried any of these tools myself so I can't really help you with it. If the mod doesn't have a talktable this thread might help you: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/8/index/337236/1#639422

Here's the script: #include "wrappers_h" #include "plt_YOUR_PLOT" void main() { event ev = GetCurrentEvent(); int nEventType = GetEventType(ev); switch (nEventType) { case EVENT_TYPE_MODULE_LOAD: { object vendor = GetObjectByTag("store_camp_bodahn"); //camp merchant if (WR_GetPlotFlag(PLT_YOUR_PLOT, YOUR_FLAG) || !IsObjectValid(vendor)) return; CreateItemOnObject(R"your_item1.uti", vendor); WR_SetPlotFlag(PLT_YOUR_PLOT, YOUR_FLAG, TRUE); } } } PS: This question was already answered many times here, just use the search button. :biggrin:

Here's a better solution than copying all files in the core folder: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/72/index/1843446/1?forum/1/topic/72/index/1843446/1&lang_id=6 Edit: I found also a mod that does this: http://social.bioware.com/project/2375/#details

The problem is that it would take far too much time to create a mod that skips until Lothering. With Skip the Fade I only had to get the exact amount of codex entries and experience but to skip Lothering I would need to add all items and every Origin story (this means I would need to play again all Origins stories and write down how many creatures and items I got) If you have no problem with missing all these items, codex entries etc. then I maybe would create such a mod.

I don't think that it will work with item properties because they usually just increase your attributes. Maybe if you could add to the existing itemproperty list an attribute that adds a spell it could work. The existing list can be found in C:\Program Files\Dragon Age\tools\Source\2DA\itemprps.xls look at http://social.bioware.com/wiki/datoolset/index.php/2DA for more informations. Maybe the best solution is still to use a script but this time without attaching it to an item but instead using it as a general script. You can use then GetItemInEquipSlot to check if the item is equipped.

Try to find the error with debugging (http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/71/index/462740/1?forum/1/topic/71/index/462740/1&forum/1/topic/71/index/462740/1&lang_id=5&lang_id=6) for instance maybe the event is not overridden: PrintToLog("Handling event type " + IntToString(nEventType)); or test this script: #include "log_h" void main() { PrintToLog("****** Adding spell ******"); object oPC = GetHero(); AddAbility(oPC,3023); } If in the log isn't the message "Adding spell" you did something wrong and the problem is not the script itself but that the mod isn't loaded properly.
