The issues are with patch 1.3 though not Awakening. I haven't bought it yet, but I did load patch 1.3 on my test PC to test all this.

[wyvern14]

I keep hammering at it to get the PC to show up correctly, no luck so far. Even modified the chargen to comment every appearance change and every little step related to visuals, log confirms it procs, but it won't do anything. Anyone has a clue?

Hmm... I wonder if there is something new in the core chargen script that changes how it works, which we won't have until Bioware updates the toolset. That's the only thing I can think of that might be different between 1.02 and 1.03.

Ah well, guess I'll focus on the level art aspect and finish my swamp area in the meantime. Hopefully we can work around this issue soon!

[jsd313]

I hope we hear something soon.

[jsd313]

Not sure if any one has done it yet but I'm going to start picking apart the erf's for patch 1.3, see if i can get my mod working for now. Will let ya know if I find anything, but please post if you learned anything important.

*blinks* I don't believe it... It's working for me now, and I haven't made any changes to the scripts.

[jsd313]

Hmm, well I just extracted all the gda files from my 1.3 patched system then put them in with my mod, leaving the ones I created. Made a b2p build loaded on test box and still nothing. Then I did it again with all the gda's none of mine and still didn't work. I'm thinking it has to be in the scripts lol.

It's not the scripts; it's the way we are doing our 2da files. I replaced my original overwriting 2da files with M2DA's and it started working; it even shows up unselectable in Awakening.

What do you mean exactly?

[ladydesire]

WE shouldn't be adding anything directly to the existing 2da files; we should be creating new sheets with only the data we want to add to the game. Look at the gda files from Awakening and compare them to the ones from Origins if you want to see what I mean.

[jsd313]

Ahh I haven't bought Awakening yet cause I don't want to load it on my main PC with the toolset. That will mean quite a bit of work for me thats for sure. Thanks for the info.

[jsd313]

Decided to DL awakening, and then played with the GDA's and I now have all my stuff working as normal. Thanks for the heads up on that lady.



New version of Warden's Arena about to pop up in 10 minutes, lots of new abilities and specilazations

Not sure if this is really the place to bring it up, but since there seems to be a lot of discussion in this thread I'll ask here to start w/.
Several of my self-created and/or downloded addins aren't functioning, some not at all & others not fully.  My self-created stuff I'm not terribly worried about, I've jurry-rigged most of it to function as needed, if not 100% like I'd like.
Other people's mods are harder to make function since I didn't create them in the first place.  Several of them I've gotten to work on a basic level by extracting their erf resources (the scripts & GDAs) and placing them in the core override folders.  However, this doesn't seem to make them work nearly as well since they're missing their custom tlk files and such, and no matter where I try putting the tlk files there's no affect in game.  Anyone have ideas on what to do different to make this function?
Other problem I'm having that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, I was using the bitm_base mod that allowed ranged weapons & mage staves to have Runes inserted, but this then made armor runes un-useable in Awakening since it over-wrote the fields for armor runes.  Long story short, I tried making my own bitm gda by changing the different fields I could find between the 2, but this made armor work and ranged/staves not work, so now I'm stuck. 

Lastly, can anyone point me in the direction of the new spell/ability scripts?  I think I've found everything else in the Xpac that I'm looking for, but can't find the scripts for abilities, just the ABI gdas & plot-related scripts.

Thanks for any response, if you feel this de-railed the current thread I can start my own, just seemed like there was a lot of knowledgeable folks here discussing the toolset.

You'll need to wait for mod makers to update their stuff. I have mine working and a few others do as well. Then we all have to wait for a toolset update to get the new scripts. You can get all setup to use the new spells and what not but we won't get them to work till we have those scripts.

OMG my stuff works again, YES!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds like you had overwritten the 2DA file rather than add a new 2DA file (which is more compatible with Other Mods including your own ).
Here is a link that might help:  dragonagemodding.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/2da-or-not-2da-overriding-2da-files/

I haven't written my own 2DA file yet, since what I'm looking to do requires more research.. but post here if this fixes your problem, because I am very sure I will be digging into that area soon enough, and I'd like my Mod to be compatible with others.

[Xenoseroster]

Heh, after much fiddling around I managed to find the scripts & fix the BITM deal myself... Of course, finding the scripts did me no good, since I cannot edit them to my liking as I've done w/ a lot of the original spell/talent scripts, but I did find them. Still don't know how to fix the other mods though since I tried following an article linked in another thread to try & make it a mod for Awakening, but it still didn't work.

Thank you, since it was your script checking that made me try redoing my 2da files.

Has anyone found a link for the Toolset from BIOWare that does not send  an XP machine into eternal BootLoop?

I just want to see an item list of the codes to experiment with Items and can not find that posted anywhere either.

Ay Assist is appreciated  especially a link that works for a ToolSet copy that works in XP at the install.
