anyone has any idea how to edit the game files. like i want to edit a level and add stuff in it like a statue or something

 

i've managed to open a level that i can edit and save(maybe?) is green at the top, it says I can save it. i can add furniture and other stuff like that. I've saving this level, but in game there is no change, it doesn't show up.

 

maybe there is some youtube video or something that show how one can do this

If you've successfully modified a level and saved it you need to export it into the Override folder. You want to select "Export without dependent resources" (right-click file in the Palette Window), and that should be it. The file should be in the folder Override\toolsetexport\ in either Modules\Single Player\, or packages\core\.

Ok, Thank You, I will try this, will let you know if it worked,

 

but another thing i don't get, so playing the last couple of hours with this I've found out that I can't modify the actual level geometry, the walls and the like. those appears to be behind a lvl file, that i don't know where it is.

 

So in the editor I'm opening an area file or something, which has audio and the rest. But then it appears there is this lvl file which has the geometry, walls and that stuff, that I was not able to find where it is.

If you are trying to make direct edits or additions to an existing level, those changes will only take effect if you haven't already entered the map on that save.

 

Edits made via PRCSCR script, on the other hand, should take effect even if the map has accessed.

it didn't work, I've exported the level, it showed up inside the "...BioWare\Dragon Age\modules\Single Player\override\toolsetexport" started a new game just to be sure there is no save file, it didn't show up in game. the human noble start.

 

in that folder I have "bhn01al_castle_cousland.lst" and "bhn100ar_castle_cousland.are"

 

i've just added a couple of statues near the walls, nothing else
