Mysterious Bag

You created some items and want to give them to the player but your no good at coding? Then this is what you were waiting for.
Just create a simple M2DA-File and copy it and your item(s) in an override Folder and the mod does the rest for you.

This was designed to be a simple way for any Modder to give items to a player - only thing needed is to create a M2DA File and voilla the item appears inside the Bag - not 1 line of code needed.

This is the first draft - the system works: aka it only adds the items once (unless otherwise spezified) and its a global container that will keep anything in it through area changes and load/saves.

And here is what it does atm:

Mysterious-Bag: "summons" the Mod-Chest:

The Mod-Chest: Gives you the items defined in the 3 M2DAS below:

The 3 M2DAS Files that make the items appear inside the Mod-Chest:

uploaded a mod_add M2DA that gives the player the ancient elf boots as well (since my current mod for that seems not to work for everyone)


What do you think - could this be usefull - shall i expand it any further? (like maybe make other chests accessable the same way - wardens keep, etc...) - are anymore pararmeters needed in the mod_add 2DA? (i added it myself so its no problem to add columns and such)

btw, has anyone any good ideas on a name and lore for this item?

here's what i am thinking about atm:

It (the Bag) is some kind of prison for an enslaved Demon (Desire, Sloth whatever - supposedly it was some notorious thief back then in its glorious days when the Maker still ruled the Fade - well before he got impriosoned for it at least) - it connects to the Fade and can therefore store stuff outside the realms of whats normaly possible.
An as you all know the Fade is home to the Black City - the former home of the Maker - and as him being a literal "Maker" he created all possible stuff over the aeons - and some of those things (Item-Mods) might just end up inside the "prison-realm" that is your bag.

In the future i want to enable the bag ro access any number of additional chests/containers - configurable via INI-Settings or more likely another 2DA/M2DA Structure - like the Wardens Keep Chest, Craigs Chest or similar. 
Seeing as the demon is imprisoned but not without any power he might grant you access to those chest via some of his Magic that is attracted to chests and items (for a price?).

And maybe even a "Gag" that lets you call out the Demon for a "lil" game (aka instant Boss fight :P).

thats the base-story i am thinking about - but i am not that good with names and integrating it all smoothly into the game's atmosphere - so ppl if your some story-writing genious speak up - i really need to get some more lore into this ;) - and for the Name of the Bag - i could make that change-able as well (like the Dog-Name popup) - the Demon found a new master and you may call it whatever you like, etc...

eagerly waiting for replys ;)

Great idea for a mod, AND04! Looks to be well done.



I'll try and think of some Lore based ideas. Yours sounds pretty good. I suspect others will think of things faster and better than I could do, however!

Here is my lore for your item. You needed a little bit of editing, take what you will, but please provide any credit I earn :) I have renamed the bag to "Dimensional Pocket," again, take it or leave it.



Dimensional Pockets were created by an Arch-Magi in the early years of Ferelden. Long since his passing, the legends of today claim such devices were fabricated in effort to quell the flow of ne’er-do-wells in Denerim, imprisoning them in nothingness for eternity. Other rumors protest these bags are simply lightweight accessories, enabling owners to carry large quantities of items with minimal strength.



The pockets lead to another dimension, possibly the Fade, although no one in recent history has confirmed this. Dimensional Pockets are rare, oft being neglected and tossed aside as a mere tattered sack; adventurers lucky enough to find one have been known to disappear into the Circle of Magi for questioning, never to be heard from again.

How can I find the m2da files for plot items? In specific, I cannot find the last two "love letters" to complete the correspondence interuptus quest. I know where to look, due to researching walkthroughs (and spoiling my story... oh well) but the container behind the secret door in the elven ruin is not even there. And the other in Arl Eamons denerim estate is not there either...Anyway, I just want to get these last two letters... Please Help. Thank you to all the modders out there who make an awesome gem even shinier.

Sorry for double posting, but I can get the letter in Arl Eamons estate, just not the other in the elven ruins.
