Hi guys,
sorry if this has been covered in here before, but I wonder if someone could show me how to modify item properties? (Not in a save game, in an override that kicks in when a new game starts) - what I want to do is add the evolving item property to a few key weapons, and have this apply to every new game, like Sunnie's fabulous mods.
Can anyone help?
How to modify item properties?

It has, and I know there's a couple of people working on tutorials that cover this so I don't want to step on toes or anything,
The search engine may be pathetic to non-existent on this social site, but you can search it with google (query site:social.bioware.com).
What you're looking for are tips on using pygff4 editor (with updated filenames database) to extract files from 2da.rim and designerresources.rim in your Dragon Age II install. For just UTI editing you really just need the UTI's (duh) from designerresources.
Even with the updated filenames database, finding the right UTI to edit is made a lot easier by having/giving yourself the item in game, saving with it equipped and then opening your save game with pygff editor. That will net you the exact uti name of what you're holding so you can now mod it. The vaddin console 'mod' will help with this too.
To edit the UTI you'll need the latest version tlkedit from nwvault. That'll let you open and save UTIs. Once you've made the changes you'll then need to package up the UTI inside an ERF with ERFpack. Make a folder with your unique name (ie:newsomethingsword) and drag that folder to erfpack, t make newsomethingsword.erf. The named erf you can drop in your game's override folder.
Any new instance the game makes of that item will use your override from then on.
Also be aware that mods which alter the same UTI's don't happily co-exist they fight for alphabetic supremacy in your 'load order' and there can be only one!. If you want to edit an item Sunnie already has, you'll need to open up Sunnie's erfs (with pygff4) to either remove or alter Sunnie's version.
