Name That Mod!

[Ceridwynne]

Hello, I hope you can help. When I first started Dragon Age, I went on a flurry of replacing core files with mods, stupidly without making backups first. This has been for the most part fine, except for some mod that I downloaded which replaced Morrigan's hair.

 

The problem is that I don't know the name of the mod to uninstall it, and I can't think of how to get the core file to replace it with (or what the file would even be called) short of completely uninstalling and reinstalling the game, and I'd rather not go to that extreme.

 

Here's a screenshot to show what her hair is now, though probably you guys would know a simpler way of getting her old hair back. What can I say, I'm not a fan of 80's hair.

 

Thanks!

Not to mention that hair is highly impractical for adventurers lol.

 

I think that is the Don't Worry Be Hairy mod. And I read when you install it that you replace the original file with the files in the Mod package. So you will have to put the original hair file back on top.

Hm. Any idea where I could get the original file, short of reinstalling entirely?

With Dragon Age, "getting the original files back" usually means just "deleting the mods".

 

Delete "Don't Worry Be Hairy" (AND any other facemorh mods or tweaks like "PT's Vibrant Colours", or "CC's Tints and Tones", AND the chargenmorphcfg.xml file that they all used to play nicely together) then re-install just the one you want. You shouldn't have to mess with the GAME install at all.

I've tried this "Don't Worry Be Hairy" mod also, which also became my 1st (succeed) DA:O mod. :biggrin:

This mod installs to "X:\Users\<user name>\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override" folder. ( My OS is Windows 7 32bit)

or "...\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override" (Windows XP), which means it doesn't modify any of your game files at all.

Looks like it'll load itself while u starting the game. Just like a plug-in. I think this is quite a nice feature for (all?) DA:O mods.

 

Hey Thandal, am i right? :rolleyes:

I looked, but I don't have any files in my override folder relating to the mod. I only have a few mods and I checked the origins of each, and none of them would mess up morrigan's hair. So I tried installing the newest version of the hairy mod to see if that was it, and now i have THAT folder...but when I delete it, it goes back to the previous mod hair. I guess I must have actually replaced the core file itself when I installed the mod, though I'm not sure why I would have. I've been modding since morrowind...but I've never really understood how it work sx.x

Try searching your override for a file called zz_gen00fl_morrigan.utc or hf_genfl_morrigan.mor, either one could be causing your problem. Should you find one or both, delete them and you should go back to the original Mori :thumbsup:

Rusty is on the right track. There's some other facemorph file at work here. While it is possible, it's highly unlikely that you replaced any of the original game files.

 

The basic way DA mods works is that everything the Player changes or adds goes in: "...\[user's documents]\BioWare\Dragon Age\... Then usually, (for mods) "...\packages\core\override".

 

The game's original files are over in "...\Program Files\Dragon Age\..." (And yes, there's an "override" folder there too, but ignore that...)
