some questions

[Aranox]

Hello

 

first off , my name's Thomas , and im a total noob when it comes to modding , I made my first 4 mods a day ago , and those were just adding items to an inventory

 

now , for my question/problem

 

I would like to learn more about making my own classes and spells , but I don't know where to start , scripting is ... troublesome for me , and I don't know how to convert .xls files to .GDA files

so can someone help ?

 

 

thx

Hi Thomas,

 

you should begin with a new spell - but beware, most spells are not that easy and you´ll need a little experience in scripting / c++.

I would recommand this tutorial:

http://social.bioware.com/wiki/datoolset/i..._Spell_Tutorial

Quite clear and good written. Helped me a lot to understand the spell-mechanics.

 

The xls-gda-converter is called ExcelProcessor.exe and could be found somewhere in the DragonAge/tools -Directory - use the search-function :)

 

For a new class you could use this:

http://social.bioware.com/wiki/datoolset/i..._Class_Tutorial

 

But I wouldnt start with that one.

thx for the help :)

 

starting with the spell first

 

and I found the converter , although its pretty hard to use , always gotta run DOS and do it that way ... but hey , it works :P

 

and about that scripting knowledge ... ive got none :P any help on this would be very much appreciated

run DOS???

 

You could just drop the file on the processor and it would be converted automatically.
