relfar Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Alright so I am pretty new to dragonage and it's modding community but I modded the crap out of fallout and it was super easy. I am haveing mondo problems with dragon age. I have DAO Modmanger v1.9d and i can't get any of the mods to actually install. I have them showing up in the Mods in Mods folder box but I can't get any of them to actually install... namely I have the Natural Bodies override file but I click install and it does nothing...

DarkeWolf Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 NBAIO doesnt go into the mods pane. NBAIO goes into the "Installed Override's" pane of DaModManager (DAMM). The mods that you're having problems with, are they .rar .zip .7z or .dazip files? Aside from .override files like NaturalBodiesAllInOne, the only formats that DaMM will only handle are .zip and .dazip. If they are a different format than that, you will have to extract them from the .rar or .7z files (www.7zip.com 7zip can do this) and usually there is a .dazip inside of them that you can just Drag and Drop (DnD) into DaMM.Also, some files that arent in a .zip or .dazip or .override file, dont have anything that will tell DaMM where they need to go. Such is the case fairly often with face morphs. Those, you can just extract and drop into your documents/bioware/dragon age/packages/core/override folder.

missmjolnir Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Okay, and what if my install didn't have an override folder where its supposed to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeWolf Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 If your install doesnt have that directory, you can make one yourself. just go to documents/bioware/dragon age/packages/core when you've got explorer in the core folder, right click on an empty area of the window, choose new, then folder. name the folder "override" (no quotes) and its all good :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkeWolf Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Good deal, glad to hear that its working, now you can enjoy your mods :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfmanLykos Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 hey im kind of wondering where you download the installer, if there is a section for this sort of thing that is already made and i overlooked just redirect me there. uhm yeah i just don't even know where to start but i learn kind of fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeWolf Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Oh! Ok, sorry about that. You can use one of two programs to install these with. There is DA Modder (DAM) and there is DA Mod Manager (DAMM). Both of them are very good, and both of them can install mods that are in .dazip or .zip format. DAMM can also install mods that are proprietary to DAMM called .overridesDAM is here- http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=286DAMM is here- http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=277 for zips and dazips all you have to do is drag and drop the zip/dazip file into the program and it will start up the installation. If its a .rar .7z or something like that, you'll need a program that can handle those formats to unpack them first. 7zip is a good one for that, but it includes an installed web browzer bar. so if you dont want taht installed, I'd go with peazip. you can find them both thru google ;)7zip is easier to use for a novice, peazip is a bit more advanced. But both of them will handle the job of unpacking them from the .rar or .7z format. IF the modder didnt put them into a .dazip file inside that folder, you can just take the files and place them in a new folder in documents/bioware/dragon age/packages/core/OVERRIDE. IF by chance you dont have an override folder, you can create a new folder inside core, and name it override, and it will work fine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfmanLykos Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Thank you, it worked for the first to mods i installed (devout armor and the silver warden one) but when i tried to do the no helmet it crashed and hasen't worked since (DAOmodmanager not the game) i tried to reinstall it using the saved download but i got the same would you like to send an error report thing. I'm gonna redownload it reinstall and see if that helps, also i deleted the mods from my override folder in case those where the ones causing it. Any advice?
