Adding items with DA Toolset

Recommended Posts

Are you trying to add something directly into a current game, (immediately place a specific item in the player's inventory) or creating a mod that will add particular items in particular locations, etc.?

For that task I would use the Developer Console and the runscript "additem".

 

(Google those terms if you're not familiar with them.)

 

Much, much easier than using the Toolset.

You can read how to activate the console here: http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/mods/1110/?tab=3&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fmodimages%2F%3Fuser%3D0%26id%3D1110

 

Note that what you write in the console command is by deafult invisible, but this mod makes it possible for you to actually see what you write:

http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/mods/1110/?tab=3&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fmodimages%2F%3Fuser%3D0%26id%3D1110

 

Also, do you use a non-english keyboard? Because if so, the button you use to bring up the console can vary greatly. I use a swedish keyboard myself, and thus have to, instead of just pressing the tilde key as everyone else, press the following buttons like this:

(Note that you can ignore this last part as long as you use an english keyboard). I can also add that this last part still holds true if you try to access the console in Neverwinter Nights. That's how I found out what I had to do on my keyboard, otherwise I would never have been able to guess it.

i need the list of items but the console is already activated

In that case you can, once again, use this site: http://dragonage.wikia.com/

Just search for what you want, and you can read, among other things, the item's ID.

 

For example, I can search for "templar armor" there, I click the relevant search result, and see that the ID for this item is "gen_im_arm_cht_mas_tmp_a".

http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Templar_Armor_(Origins)

EDIT: You apparently need to copy paste the site above, since the hyperlink doesn't react to the "(origin)" part apparently.

If you need, you can also use the toolset to add items (my machine persistently refuses to run the console, so I've gotten good at this).

 

http://dragonagemodding.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/a-start-creating-a-module-to-give-your-player-an-item/ I've had good luck following the instructions here. Just skip over the parts that talk about creating your own item.
