Read.

 

the second link even tells you were the source files are (.xls files which are converted to gda files)

 

I guess I should have capitalized

 

READ

 

I had to read the toolset wiki, I still do have to read the toolset wiki.

 

You don't have to put the files in a .erf to have them take priority, but you do have to have only one version of the gda. If you want to create .erf files, then I suggest learning how to create a module first. And I also suggest reading http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Using_Dragon_Age_Mods_for_Dummies (I didn't name it so don't blame me) to learn about priorities.

 

Modding DAO is not a 5 minutes to learn process. It takes a long time and I'm still learning. If you want to learn how to do it, you ARE going to have to put in the time to read the toolset wiki and experiment.

I would suggest looking for information in the toolset wiki rather than old forum discussions. Some of those discussions are VERY informative, but some are not.

 

You can do a search in the folder with the excel spreadsheets and find that three spreadsheets exist that contain the word 'autoscale'. Then you would find that the sheet 'autoscale' exists in creatureranks.xls If you read the toolset wiki, you would know that each sheet in a spreadsheet is converted to a separate gda - the conversion is done using 'excelprocess' (if I remember correctly, I usually create & modify gda files with GDApp at this point) .

 

Or you could do a search through Nexus Dragon Age mods and find some mods that add to the difficulty of the game if that is what you are trying to do.
