Toolset does not find mods after format/reinstall.

Topic title pretty much sums it up... Clueless as to how it got through my myriad of defenses, but after discovering a rootkit on my PC, I've formatted all drives and reinstalled everything and everything is shiny and new and clean and works again... except for the Dragon Age Toolset. I use a few mods from this site and I'd been working on one of my own for some time, all of which were visible within the Dragon Age Toolset prior to formatting. After reinstalling everything, anything related to the mods I have installed no longer appear in the toolset.

 

I'm probably missing something obvious, being fairly new at this, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction to get this solved. I'd really like to continue editing my little project. ;p

 

Thanks.

The toolset doesn't only save things on physical files (which are what the game uses exclusively), but on a database as well. This adds extra annoyance when backing up and modding in general, on the other hand, it adds subversion handling of files and the ability to roll back at whim (along with a whole other lot of things that being on a database adds).

 

Your problem seems to be that you didn't made a backup of the database. The best thing you could do is to open the erfs of your mods, extract the files, and then rebuild the mod on the toolset using those files.
