PseudoVanguard Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I've just recently started using the DA Toolset and learning how to use it. But I've gotten an urge after seeing Hsli's Sexy Outfits to make custom armor like that. However I don't have Dragon Age 2 on PC so I don't have access to all the models I would need. Is there any way that I can take from the models that Hsli has made in order to play around and make my own stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 The DAO uses different models than DA2. (Just lettin' you know... :smile: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoVanguard Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 I guess what I'm really asking is if there is a way to get the files needed (the mesh and the mmh and dds?) out of Hsli's stuff so I can use the different components of each like how you can get the meshes and textures from DA:O using the toolset.

Risibisi Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hm, I'm not at my private pc at the moment so I can't have a look but when you have installed Hsli's stuff, I thought you can find the files in the Hsli folder in your override. To modify the mesh you will need a 3d modelling program and you can use the toolset or the gff4 editor to edit the mmh file. I prefer the editor. You can use the editor e.g. to extract erf. files to get the files you need.When you want to release your modification in a mod you need of course the permission of Hsli but not for your personal use but I think you know that.Hope that helps a bit.

In Hsli's folder there's an erf file in the core folder and in the module>data folder. I'm guessing I need to open up the one in the core folder since it has the cti files. Are these the meshes that'll open in blender? And yeah, it's purely for personal use. Edited June 26, 2013 by PseudoVanguard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risibisi Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I've looked in my override folder. There is e.g. a Hsli Sexy robes folder with the mesh, mmh and the texture files. I can't import the meshes into blender 2.49 because of a length error. So, you have maybe to use the other import/ export script 0.20 because 0.11 doesn't support body meshes or you have to use gmax/3dmax to work with those meshes.I'm only working with blender now for over a half year thus I have not much knowledge about the "monster", sorry. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoVanguard Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 When I installed Hsli's Sexy Outfits there wasn't a folder in override. It just placed a folder in My Documents>Bioware>DAO>Addins>etc. I do see msh, mhh, and dds files for other mods that have placed a folder into the override though. How did you install that mod so it placed a folder into the override instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risibisi Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hm, i think you have to use e.g. the DAO mod manager to install the mod but all infos about the installation should be explained in Hsli's moddescription. It's as far as I know an override installation. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoVanguard Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 I tried using DAOMM to install it clean but it still puts a folder into My Documents>etc. I don't get a folder in the override. The file is a dazip file, should it be some other file type if I want to get access to the meshes? If it needs to be another type of file, how can I change it?

Thandal Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 OK, as stated in the Description, ONLY the "All in one" version has a .dazip and a .override file. (Just downloaded and confirmed. Screenshot available on request. ;D ) IMPORTANT: For the all-in-one version, you must install both .dazip AND .override files! (Use DAO ModManager) DAO-ModManager (DAMM) knows what to do with both of these file types, but you do have to extract them from the .zip archive first! :thumbsup: (The other Hsli Robes mods I checked contained individual .msh and .dds files.)
