Hi.

This is my first post on this site, and let me start by saying I want to thank BioWare and all community members who have contributed into making what seems to be an excellent Builder Wiki.

I've only scanned a couple of tutorials at this point, but I know I'll be spending a lot of time in there.

So again, a big thanks to all of you!

The Builders who added content thank you. A good deal of the credit for the Toolset wiki belongs to Bryan Derksen of BioWare who did a great job of adding content, organizing it and editing it so it exists in a decent format to view.

Just wanted to chime in with my heartfelt thanks as well. I've been having a blast with the character creator, but logging in to the social site and seeing the Toolset Wiki is honestly what gave me the greatest thrill of excitement. It's the next best thing to having the actual toolset--I'm really looking forward to jumping right in and putting that knowledge to use once I've finished the game.

There is a lot of content in the wiki however one of the major tasks we have before us is getting it organised and making it accessible. Right now a lot of the content is pulled from BioWare's internal documents and so might not be aimed at quite the right level. Similarly the front page is just a wall of text and links so we've got to drastically reduce that to a manageable amount of information. The goal is to help both beginners and veterans find what they are looking for with a minimum of fuss.

I agree. Right now beginner tutorials such as the Introductory tutorial and the Module tutorial aren't displayed at the front page with the others. Maybe they could have a couple of tutorial-sections, such as Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced? Or sort some into a 'Beginner' category and the rest into other categories depending on what they cover.

Then new builders visiting the site could get a nice introduction by clicking on the Beginner section, while veterans could easily find what they're looking for by browsing the other categories.

Anyhow, it's great to have documentation and a wiki at this point, and not long after the release of the toolset. Loving it so far.

This may be a bit off-topic, but why are my posts shorter in horizontal length than the rest of you?

Is the toolset wiki wigging out for anyone else? I've wanted to browse through it, but I can't seem to log in. All I get is a blank page.

There seems to be a problem at times that requires your cookies or recent file history for it to work.

Ah. So the problem will just go away on it's own then?

spent some hours on the wiki and i really dig it. i have the feeling i will have to have the toolset in front of me to really understand most of it but it's great to see that there is already so much on there.

Heh, took awhile finding the builder wiki you all are talking about. At first, I thought you were talking about the toolset wiki at dragonage/wikia.com. I finally found it thru the social site. I'll probably be spending most of the day looking through this. Add my thanks to the OP's.

Hehe, np, I didn't discover it right away myself either. :)

If anyone else is wondering, the Toolset Wiki is available through the 'Wikis' link in the top menu on this site.

I was just browsing the wiki and it looks good, thanks for the works. I've done some modding for Oblivion (Mountain Tower etc.) and I think I'll give a shot in Dragon Age as well. Does anyone here have Oblivion modding experience AND Dragon Age toolset experience? If so, how do the two compare?

You could go in a (or add a new) modder group of your taste or a project (or add a new project)... So - can exchange experience. From the basics both the same, in detail different... look at the wiki.

There is a bit of an on going weird thing at times in which you have to clear cookies before you can get onto some parts of this site such as the wiki.
