Talent spell Cooldowns

[JohnnyQuest101]

I wanted to reduce cooldowns for talents but I don't want to make it all the same since the activation cost are high to fourth tier talents. I thought I would be happy if I cut the talents to 1/4 their present value.

 

There is a mod that does 2 sec but I notice the NPCs still tends to spam high tier talents. To do this is the following correct:

 

1. Go to Dragon Age\Tools\Source\2DA\rules\ABI_base.xls file copy it and change name to ABI_baseCH.xls

2. Remove all rows not needed and change the cooldown of the rows I need.

3. Then run through export processor to make an override file

 

If this is correct, then I would like to do it? The have seen mods that change all cooldowns to the same value like 1 sec or 2 which is not what I want.

That's basically how I made my ranger talent cooldown tweak, though I didn't edit/export the XLS... it was much simpler (IMO) to just extract the GDA from the game files and edit it with GDAapp.

Thank you I didn't know there was an GDAapp.

Oh yes, GDApp is a miracle, especially for those of use too poor to own MS Excel.
