Awakening Toolset

[someoneod]

Is there any way to put awakening item models onto items in the toolset? I'm basically trying to get the blackblade set onto regular items, since the stats on it suck so much, and its the best looking rogue set as far as i know.

Open \Dragon Age\packages\core_ep1\data, open 2DA.erf, extract:

armor_light_variation_gxa.gda

boots_light_variation_gxa.gda

gloves_light_variation_gxa.gda

helm_light_variation_gxa.gda

Change variation number ( its 5 by default ) in those files and rename them. Open modelhierarchies.erf and modelmeshdata.erf and remove all other models but **_****_lgte_0¹.mmh / msh / phy files, save and rename files then place them in override folder along with materualrules.erf and ts_material_gxa.gda to get tier 8 / tier 9 as material for them.

 

 

 

¹:

** - prefix for race -> ef_ = elf , hf_ = human female etc

****- armor type -> _boo_= boots, _arm_ = armor etc.

Hi ^^ I would like to know, before I download the toolset, what's it for exactly? :sweat: and can I use it with awakening? :wallbash: I know I sound stupid :teehee:

 

Thanks :P

Yup, its legal. And bioware doesnt mind. At least not for awakening. Tho the verdict is still out about how they feel about moving assets from DAO to DA2, or vice versa.

Edit- however, WE (the nexus) will not allow the content to be posted here, if it is originally from the DAA expansion for the DAO game. Or vice versa. It can be a mod that has the files necessary for it to work if the user ports the material over themselves, but not if the files are already ncluded with the mod.

Is there anyway to edit specific items, characters, and cutscenes or are we just limited to using the weapon and armor models, cause I have those but not the item tiers or the for mentioned things

@Kratistos93;

 

There's no real difference between modding DAA and DAO. So sure, one could do all the same things (new NPCs, new side quests, etc.) Guess there just isn't as much interest on the part of those with the necessary skills... :unsure:

[Kratistos93]

You wouldn't know how to add those things into the toolset would you... I can't find anything anywhere
