Is it possible for someone to do a model swap replacing the staff from the Mage DLC (Malcolm's Honor) to use the Staff of Parthalan model (w_stf_001a) or to direct me to one that was already done?

Thanks!

I don't know anyone who has done a retexture. However, if you want to do this because Mage DLC staff improves with level-up, then you can install a mod that would also make the Staff of Parthalan improve with level up.

If that was not the reason at all for swapping models, then please ignore my post

[TalliNV]

Wasn't what I was looking to do - this is for my mage playthrough where I love the DLC staff stats but also love the look of Parthalan...I read the model swap posts and have edited it in my save game but won't know if it works for a while.

Thank you though for the info.

I've done model swaps before, but I'm not sure where Malcolm's Honor is in the item_variations file. I'd like to swap it because I like the stats, but my Hawke just isn't the kind of guy who wants a naked lady on his staff.

[mesmerizedish]

This is actually a neat idea, because the Staff of Parthalan is supposed to be the ancestral weapon.

It'd be very easy to do with a save edit, but if I were going to do something, I'd make .uti edits to seamlessly integrate things.

Yeah, I always start with and don't change my version of the Parthalan staff (really should upload that sometime). I prefer .uti edits too, then it applies over all new games, much less fiddling required.

It'd be very easy to make a version of the Parthalan staff that has the same stats (and name) as Malcolm's honour - I can do it if you want?

I would love that, if you have a chance. I'm actually good with either the Parlathan model or the Chanter's Staff model--anything that doesn't have the naked babe on top.

[Tyrium]

Sure, I'll put that together tonight when I get home from work. I'll make sure it's compatible with Vaddi so you can summon it in that way.

[darkrose]

You're awesome: thank you!

Gah, it's done, but the stupid site won't let me upload it to a project, so here's a megaupload link:

This staff has (as close as I can get) the Malcolm's Honor stats, and the Parthalan model. It replaces the Staff of Parthalan, so it will show up in Gamlen's chest, or can be summoned with Vaddi by searching "parth" (although it will then show up as Malcolm's Honor, searching on that will only bring the original staff up). This will mean you will get 2 staves named "Malcolm's Honor" in the chest - one will be the original, with the original model, the other will be this version - just equip them to see

Any troubles, PM me

Unfortunately we can't just do a straight model swap, since the files for DLC are encrypted, so we "can't" get at the .uti file to change it directly.

It worked! I did run into a slight issue, because I already had a modded Parthalan in the game. I'd removed it, but when I ran vaddi, I got the modded Parthalan renamed Malcolm's Honor. I put that in the storage chest, restarted, and this time when I searched "Mal" in vaddi, I got the correct version of Malcolm's Honor.

Thank you! Now my Hawke can have even more daddy issues, just in time for the DLC...

[Tyrium]

Ah, glad it works, That'd be why I had to search "parth" for it to work for me, with my normal modded Parthlan.

Yeah, I'm kinda hoping Malolm wasn't a grey warden, as cool as that would be, because I think Anders has given my Hawke quite enough daddy issues already

[LordKinoda]

Doesn't work. It only changes the name of Parthalan to Malcolm's Honor. No stat or model switching, just a name change : /

[Tyrium]

do you have another modified parthalan? that would do that.

So, I know this thread is like 2-3 years old but for anyone still looking -- I was really irritated by the Malcolm's Honor model and couldn't figure out how to change it.

Google: gff edit item appearance to find the dragonage nexus instructions on how to modify items

IMPORTANT: instead of opening the standard 2da.erf file they tell you to go to

\\Dragon Age II\\addins\\da2_mtx_mag\\core\\data\\2da.erf

Then open the item_variations_mag.gda

Then G2DA_ROW_LIST

Then +0 Metal - Staff 20

Edit the line that says w_stf_020a

save a new copy of this into the ovverride folder as instructed at the nexus forums

GOOD LUCK!
