How do I resize Morrigan's Armor to fit an elf?

Hullo there!

Question is pretty much in the title.. I realize there's already a 'Morrigan's Robes for Elves' mod out there (http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/441/?) which does do the job amazingly well, kudos to tevor117 ^^ ---- HOWEVER I don't really like the name of his modded robes, or their description in the game (the name doesn't seem very 'elfish.') Also, however good the stats are, I'd quite like to tweak them to my own liking.

I know how to access a .dazip file in the toolset, but I don't really know how to edit what I want from there - Also I'm not keen on changing somebody's hard work considering I'm more than happy to do the whole thing myself if I know how to...

So my question is - how do I go about resizing Morrigan's Robes to fit an elf character? I know how to add an item to my inventory in game.. so I think *literally* the only thing I don't know how to do is the actual resizing.

Any help whatsoever would be hugely, hugely appreciated, I've been trying to google this for an hour plus now and haven't gotten anywhere. But I love Morrigans Robes, I really want to try and get this to work ^^

If you want to change the 3d model of an armour or weapon you need a 3d modelling programm like e.g. Blender or 3ds max and the corresponding import/export scripts. Then you can fit it to the elf or dwarf body.

 

About changing name and stats:

As long as you doing the changes of Tevor117's work for your personal use it isn't imo a problem. If you want to release it as a mod you need of course his/her permission!

The stats etc. can be changed with a mod called "Winter forge" and Thandal has written a tutorial how to work with this mod.

or you change the stats etc. with the toolset but I don't know how to do this because I've never tried it. :smile:

Ah thank you for the information there Risibisi!
I sadly don't have a 3d modelling program - I was hoping it was possible to resize in the toolset.
That's helpful to know about Winter's Forge too, but that doesn't help me with changing the item's name or description does it? =( SO perhaps changing tevor117's work would be the way to go, as I've got no intention of releasing the mod to the public whatsoever.
However.. I'm at a bit of a loss here with the toolset. I have extracted the item's .uti, but opening it in the toolset takes me to this screen: http://imageupper.com/s02/1/2/P13926601311967230_1.jpg (I hope that image worked)

The only things I want to change is the name, the description, and the stats.. it looks like the name and the stats are appearing as 'TBD', I don't understand what that means, as those obviously aren't the name/description in game.. is there something special I am supposed to do to change the name/description? or do I simply write over the 'TBD'?

Also the stats, under PropertiesList, are a list of numbers (i.e. 1006) - is there a table where I can see what property corresponds to what number?

Lastly, tevor117's mod seems to add the item to your inventory *whenever* you load a game, this can get a little tedious as you end up with a large stack of the item in your inventory - I was going to copy over a different script referring to this item, that will just add the item to my inventory once. Doing this wont muck up anything, will it?

As always any help would be most appreciated ^^

The Winter Forge does allow the changing of names but not item descriptions.

Aaah, thanks Quorwyf! I'll think I'll be using Winter's Forge then, the description thing is kind of annoying - but it's hardly worth doing a whole mod over as you hardly ever see it in-game anyway. Thanks so much for the info =)
