Save File For new Face

Welcome, xxanti!

 

You can do it yourself with this: "Dragon Age Face Replacer". No Toolset necessary.

 

(You will have to install the Python scripting languge. But it's a breeze, the link to the download is included in the Readme, and once installed it's "just there". You don't have to actually *do* anything with it manually.)

 

Happy Gaming with your new face! :thumbsup:

 

(BTW: Post count says this isn't your first one... :whistling: )

@xxanti;

 

Sorry for the confusion. On Nexus, (and many other sites that use similar software) what used to be called a "Readme" is now part of the metadata about a file that the author uploads. (The author can still provide a Readme file as part of the package, but doesn't have to.) On this family of sitesd you'll find that info under the file's "Description" tab, right next to the "Files" tab on the page I linked above.

 

Here's the relevant part for you:

 

 

Usage:

----------

The User Interface will give you some rules by clicking on the blue "?" button.

To be more explicit there are the known usages of the tool:

 

- Set new face from another savegame

- Set new face from a character maid in the Character Creator

- Set new face from game resources (example : set for your character to have the head of Morrigan)

- Extract *.mor face file from savegame

- Set new face from a face file (*.mor)

- Use Character Creator to build face for your own modules

- Edit savegame with character name and inventory size change

 

/!\ Tatooes, wrinkles and all face details (like scars in expansion packs) are linked to face shape. I will check to edit them in future versions.

 

/!\ Limit your name to ASCII characters ( no accents, special symbols, ... ) to assume 100% compatibility, specially with Python versions older than 2.5

 

/!\ Limit the inventory max size to +/- 10000 ( theorically you can go to 16 billions, but I am not sure that the game can handle this )

 

/!\ For few savegames, the name cannot be changed (limitation of the "find" method used). Change the name in another savegame.

 

Character browser:

If you put the script of the tool in My Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age/Characters, the list of characters and saves you have is shown. If not, you have to set it up with the a button.

In the browser:

- Select the character

- Then select a savegame

It is the same than manually choose a savegame

 

Face data values:

When you have selected a destination, you can manually edit face features:

- Select the feature you want to change

- Set the new value

- Select another value, ...

 

To edit other values, load the *.mor file in the Toolset, change values, and then use it as mor source.

 

Face resources:

You can get as first resource the file named "face.erf" in (C:/MyGames/Dragon Age)/packages/core/data/ in order to start the tool with the list of the premade game faces.

 

Backup:

Tool will backup once the modified savegames, (renamed from "mysavegame.das" to "mysavegame.das.bak") so in case of troubles, restore the backup.

 

Configuration:

More changes can be made by editing the script in a text editor, but beware of what you do !

 

Requirements:

------------------------

You need Python to run the script ( grab it on www.python.org ).

Will work on 2.4 and more Python version ( tested on 2.6, may have troubles with 3.0 version )

 

Note:

---------

It is not possible to import *.chr (Character Creator) or *.mrh (unprocessed morph file) files into savegame ( *.chr and mrh are processed to be transformed in the packed *.mor files ). Only MOR format is embedded in savegames.

 

 

 

Hope that helps. :thumbsup:

Can a mod close this thread my question(s) have been answered

[DarkeWolf]

sure thing. Consider it closed ;)

You can however, request it directly, if you click on the yellow report button under your name in your first post. And then just say that you would like to have your thread closed in the description box.
