Prevch Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Hi all I recently followed the"Adding a New Spell Tutorial"On the Dragon AgeToolset Wiki located here http://social.bioware.com/wiki/datoolset/i..._Spell_Tutorial As I work through the tutorial, everything is working through the preliminary testing stage, but after I open ABI_base_fh.GDA and guitypes_fh.GDA and enter the string values then try to run Dragon Age, Dragon age comes up with no menus. Meaning that there are no options to "Resume" "New Game" Load Game" etc. however there are still blank areas that you can click in. I was able to get into the game just by randomly clicking and once I got in and opened up Wynne's spells, nothing was labeled correctly I believe rather than like "spirit healer" it said "undefined" or something like that, which makes me think the game is not loading a .GDA coreectly, but I made sure to name my files with the _fh so that they would not conflict with the other files. I don't know what I am doing wrong here, but I am literally following the Dragon Age Wiki Tutorial step-by-step Can anyone lead me in the right direction?Thanks!
jwvanderbeck Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 I talked about this on my blog when introducing the string editor, in this article, but anytime you mess with the string editor and export a talk table, you need to delete the one exported to the packages\core\override or you will lose every string in the game.
Prevch Posted December 16, 2009 Author Posted December 16, 2009 Oh Really? Wow, that's a little crazy. I am going to check out your blog and give it a shot. I really appreciate the help.

In your installation CD, find the "data" folder, there is a zip file call "english" in it. Unzip it. Copy the file from this path "english\packages\core\data\talktables" to "X:\Dragon Age\packages\core\data\talktables" Replace the original one. It should work.
jwvanderbeck Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 There is absolutely no need to replace the file from your installation CD. Just do as I said and delete the exported one from the toolset and thats it.
