Oh gosh, thanks for that link, RAK! I agree that is the best tutorial, and it's the one I like to refer people to. (And "Hey! Hello! Howdy! How are you, old friend?" )

Hi TSM, I'm trying to get back to my modding, but this BSN going down is messed up. There were so many good resources there. I also had my Cullen morph for DA2 uploaded there, but not Nexus, so I lost that. I don't remember how I did it, because DA2 was complicated. I think I might have lost all of my old mrh's too You seem to have kept busy with the modding!

I have backups of most of your BSN-only mods, including your DA2 Cullen... check your PMs. Agreed that modding DA2 is complicated... I made exactly ONE mod for that game. ~tsm

Hey TSM, do you have that spread sheet that has all the item #s written out for all the different mods? The ItemVariation spreadsheet that Valerie1972 (and to a small extent, I) put together? The downloadable version is here, and the GoogleDocs version (which is probably more current) is here.

Could somebody help me with extracting the character models from DA:O?Or if they know where i could readily find them! I'm interested in the companion and PC ones.
I did some fooling around yesterday and found the DAO modeller tool,and also found how to extract the mmhs. Unfortunately due to their naming i have no idea which are the one's i'm looking for :/
And from what little i've gathered the character models are divided into bodies and heads(?)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! I'm the worst person in the world to try to answer this (because I'm incredibly stupid and anything to do with 3D modeling is way beyond my ken) but some general info: Playable humanoid character models are separated into head, torso, hands/gloves, and feet/boots; with the exception of unibody clothing models and the less said about THAT the better because I hate those things. Companions and the player character use the same meshes as NPCs. (As in, there's no 'Female Cousland' model, 'Alistair' model, or 'Morrigan' model... they use the same human male and female models as other adult human characters.) Base game model files can be found in <game install location>\Dragon Age\packages\core\data, in the following archives, and can be extracted with a GFF editor: MSH files - > modelmeshdata.erf MAO files - > materialobjects.erf MMH and PHY files -> modelhierarchies.erf I'm not sure if it is still available (RIP, BSN projects), but there is a utility called DATool which offers visual browsing through individual base game models; it can also extract the model and textures for a model with one click. And you will probably get more (and better) responses by starting a dedicated thread, rather than nested under another topic... anyone who not interested in locating the toolset or wiki probably won't see your query.

Thanks a lot for the reply,tsm! DATool is the one i reffered to as DAO modeler tool(the zip is named that).It displays some random models by default,but i can't understand why only them...It seems i have to extract the other models myself from the erfs and open them manually in the DATool :/ I guess i'll have to do so... Are you aware of another place ,aside from this forum,where DA:O modding discussions are more active?

Hmmm... When I've used DATool, it could browse/extract just about all the vanilla models, including props and statics. Wonder why yours is different? There is some modder activity on the Nexus forums, though not much... losing the BSN forums really was a blow to the modding community.

I don't have a 'Save As' but there's a drop-down option of 'Save All', which exports the relevant files for the model being viewed: And if by 'the heads come to pieces', you mean that the eyes are separate from the base heads, which have no hair/back-back-of-the-head... that's because each of those things are a separate mesh.

Strange :/ Yup,that's what i mean. Maker,why does it have to be such a task? WIsh there was a way to extract the complete models from the uth(?) inside the Toolset... Thanks a bunch for your aid,tsm!I really appreciate it I guess the nexus forums will be my future stop.

For items, the UTI doesn't contain the model information, it's just data strings, one of which is a pointer to the model... and the model is actually defined in the applicable GDA. Learning how all the files fit together is absolutely key to understanding how to modify anything. You can extract all the needed files from the ERFs, it's just a bit of a task to figure out which files go to which items. I do apologize for not being more helpful... I'm not a 'real modder', I'm just a tinkerer who pokes at files, pulls things apart, and then cobbles something together that hopefully doesn't break something else.

So apparently I'm getting a new error when attempting to run the Toolset.
Presumably this is due to the old BSN being pulled down, but I'm not sure what I need to be connecting it to now? Any easy references for using the configuration tool?
EDIT ...or nevermind it's apparently unrelated. The actual solution was "try turning the computer off then on again"
