What is the difference between a dazip and a plain old zip?


Recommended Posts

there is very little, to no difference between a .dazip and .zip amigo. :wink:

Its incredibly easy to convert one to/from another. Just right click the .zip file, and choose rename. Say that the file is called "thismod.zip". just rename it as thismod.dazip

windows will tell you that this could cause problems, just tell it to go ahead and do so, then confirm that you want to do it.

 

I've done this on numerous occassions when I've wanted to view the contents of a .dazip file. :wink:

both damodder and damodmanager can handle mods that are packed as .zip :wink:

However, yeah... like I was saying, its easy enough, just change the extension to .dazip and you'll be good to go :smile:

 

No prob, enjoy bro :smile:

I cant change the files from zip 2 dazip because they dont have a .zip after the name. Help!

 

Heyas Angus, welcome to the nexus :)

Do you have your computer set up to show filename extensions? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=show+extensions&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g10

Or is there a different extension at the end? Like .erf .7z .rar or something like that?

If its something like a .7z or .rar you need to extract them into a new folder before you can do anything with them. Nothing in this game can handle those formats. If its something like a .erf or .utc .uti or similar, all you need to do is drop them into the documents/bioware/dragonage/packages/core/override folder
