Well i am myself no modder but i can tell you some places to get started with modding. Dragon age Builder Wiki check the Getting started and tutorials section first and Beyond Ferelden an extremly well written and helpful blog with lots of guides But as far as i know, you might be out of luck jet with what you want, modelling new clothes, and not retexturing them, becouse there is until now no way there to reimport edited things or new things into the toolset, but it is only a matter of time till such a tool will be aviable i guess. good luck, i hope that helped :thumbsup:

Yeah by looking at your first post requesting a more babarian look it makes perfect sense not to want noble clothes for the mages then ;) Was worth a try anyway i guess =)

domatz, your question is legitime and i didnt intended to sound harsh to you, and maybe i wasnt specific enough about your root question, but i wanted to make it clear that you should not prejudge a modification to a game, or its users or makers, because its beautifull or offending at your standards. Noone has to fight for morality or ethics or tastes here, its just mods for a game. Of course pepole will allways like or dislike mods, thats fair if they choose so, and thats the reason there are rankings and stuff. But its not fair to judge others on what they like or dislike in a game mod, its allmost the same as if you judge someone by color or religion or country. You have the full right to dislike beautyfication mods, and anyone else has the right to like them, and of course this can be debated, talking and getting to understand eachother is a good thing. I didnt intended to say that discussing it is a bad thing. It just makes no big sense for me, becouse Beauty will allways lay in the Eye of the Beholder. =) But if discussing it makes sense for you then thats a good thing, and i like the conclusions you took. :thumbsup: On a out of game basis i can understand of course your line of thought, the media and models and advertising with photoshopped pepole all that i can understand and relate to, becouse thats a society phenomen and bigger than a game or the mods for it. But that discussion should then be in the debates forum and not in the modding forum =)

I am sure this can be done too, if not, a "charming" Spell could be an alternative.

I would have no problems with a male nude mod. Someone put effort in it to make it, if you dont like it you must not use it. Its so easy to ignore things that you dont like, if pepole can ignore global warming, hungry children in 3rd world countries, women getting beaten by their husbands and animals getting killed for their pelts, (just to name some common things that many pepole ignore on a daily basis), why cant they ignore a nude mod then? There they suddenly discover their "morality" and "standards", its laughable, or sad, you choose. Everything that can be done will be done, its a rule of the internet. But the inability to reimport meshes till now, kinda limits what can be done to make male nudes in DA anatomically correct. So until that is solved i doubt we will see any "hard facts" :D Point is not if someone else likes it or not and if you agree or disagree with that persons view, thats completly irrelevant. It dosent change anything, it will be made by someone and used by someone.

I am still on my first campain and that is allways in normal in any game... normally :biggrin:

Well i am myself no modder but i can direct you to some helpfull places neverthless =) Dragon age Builder Wiki check the Getting started and tutorials section first and Beyond Ferelden an extremly well written and helpful blog with lots of guides thats atleast the places where i would start, good luck :thumbsup:

please do and good luck :thumbsup:

this posting leads to win...

Beware of double posts! this can be deleted.

Thank you for providing information. hm thats all in the log? normally there should be an end message, like that it crashed or couldnt read a specific file... thats strange. Just a random idea, copy the "daupdater.exe" from the "..\dragon age origins\bin_ship\" folder to your desktop (copy not cut and not just link to it) then start it from your desktop and see if it gives you the same error log or a longer one or if it maybe works then. EDIT: Do you have a "..\My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override" folder? not sure about the exact location with steam, but this is the path in the normal version. if there is no "override" folder in the "core" directory then please create it and try again to run the daupdater.exe I doubt that its becouse of that but its worth a try if nothing else helps. EDIT2: Meanwhile i checked 2 forums and the official forums as good as i could in that limited time but couldnt find an answer for you. The last thing that came to my mind is that your daupdater.exe is maybe a corrupt download, but thats also unlikely if all the rest of your game works. maybe a redownload and reinstall could be made, but wait with that till youre really out of options. If the things in this posting dont help you and there is no other helpfull hint coming up with your logfile then i am pretty much out of ideas. Sorry i dont have Steam myself so i am limited by that anyway in my effort to help you. Maybe someone else with more experience or atleast a steam dragon age version can give you more hints. Also Steam has official forums too dont they? have you checked there for any hints or help? if not please try that, and the official forums too, open a thread in the technical help forum and describe your problem, there are many more pepole there that could be of help. and if that also dont helps you should contact the offical support, but i am not sure if ea or steam support is responsible, maybe try both. thats all i can think of, good luck, and please if you solve it let me know here, i want to know why it isnt working for you, and it could help others with the same or a similar issue!

yawns....

i wont argue

Granted, but some wise ass on wikipedia reversed the change and its all back to "wish" in a day. I wish that my coffee wouldnt be cold... again.

He wants a Mod not opinions i think =)

I WIN! if some mod would please be so kind and lock this thread :thanks: :biggrin:

crap, this poll reminded me how old i am -.-

I agree with you i liked the characters from the Witcher game, i have found atleast this mod, its not perfect but maybe more will be made or that person making that one will expand it?

Well i know nothing about that darkspawn armour, havent seen it but i have seen atleast this: Mage outfits other than robes

Source of Definition Now wheres the porn in the beautification definition? I was deeply dissapointed that i found none... :ohmy: :wink: Lets read the definition again... "Making beautiful, improving the appearance of something." That can mean for everyone something elese, its TOTALLY up to everyones OWN standards to define for himself what beautifull is. For one it might be a Flower, for the other one a pretty Face and for the next one some half naked girl in latex clotes... And when we have a very customizable game everyone can mod it to his own perfect tastes, thats wonderfull, isnt it? Why does someone use a nude mod? Its the same reason why someone else is using a high resolution texture mod, because that person thinks it makes the game more beautifull and worthwhile for him. And if someone prefers to play without mods or with a mod that makes pepole fat or ugly then its also fine. I really cannot understand why should it bother ANYONE what SOMEONE ELSE thinks is worthwhile to mod or play? If you dont like what you see move on and search what is more to your own tastes or make it on your own. As long as it hurts noone its all fair for me at least. Who am i to judge? - And who are you to judge? So better stop arguing about what is beautifull and make mods that are beautifull for yourself and load them up, be gratefull if someone else shares your opinion and have the dignity to respect it if someone disagrees. And next time you see a mod: You dont have to judge the person that makes or uses it, you have to use it or not use it. ---------------- and to cheshire23, and anyone else who thinks you can mock someone because of their taste, YOU ARE WRONG, DEAD WRONG. you dont have the right to mock anyone because of what he thinks is beautifull. Because that hurts the other persons feelings, and that person will bait back because you provoked it and there we have drama and noone wants that. You can allways disagree in a civil and reasonable manner, but you can not act like an ass because your in a forum on the net and hiding behind a nickname. whatever thats my 2 cents at this topic, no offense intended honestly, take it or leave it, its just my opinion. EDIT:spelling

I am not sure i can help you, becouse i dont use steam at all, and it smells somehow like a steam problem from what you said, but i will try my best. The only thing about the steam installation and dragon age is that there is somewhere a maximal pathlengthrescriction (of 56 or something... dont remember sorry) that made trouble for some users, i read about it in the official bioware forums but i cant remember what exactly it was, i think it had to do with the override folder, not sure if that anyhow helps. Maybe you can answer some questions and that will help you further. What operating system are you on? Have you Admin rights with the windows account you use and acsess to all folders/files the installer could use? (including desktop) Maybe a third party program is blocking the daupdater? If you have a Log from your daupdater could you post it please? (second tab, after the install failed or sucseeded there should be a deatailed log there) Did you experience this with all .dazip-files or just with a specific one? Have you installed or messed with the toolset? Also i have a Guide on installing/uninstalling mods, but i havent covered your specific problem there, see my sig if you want to. hope you can sort it out =)

Thank you for this information, this made the color and links in my article finally work, was allready stressed becouse i couldnt get it working :thanks:
