Adding custom items to custom modules tutorial

2010-01-20T08:55:21Z

Lazy Monk:

This guide will show you the easiest way to create a custom item and add it to your inventory by using a console command '''runscript aa_give_item'''.

There are people who say that using the default 'singleplayer' module is a source for future problems so we'll be using are own module.

I hope this tutorial helps.

*2. Choose an item under global.
*3. Right click on the item and select '''Duplicate'''.
*4. A window will popup, ignore all fields except resource name.
*5. Name your item in the resource name field (only letters, numbers and '_').
*6. In the main tab you will see your item, modify it to your liking. Editing the item's additional effects is in 'Item properties'.
*7. Once finished: click '''Tools -> save'''.
*8. look above at the tab's title, it should be '''custom_resource_name.uti''' (with your selected name).
*9. Right click on it again and select '''Export -> Export without dependent resources'''.

== Creating a script to summon your item ==

*1. Click on '''File -> new -> Script'''.

Uh... yeah. I exported full on the script like you said to and after 7 HOURS it wasn't done. I think something needs edited on your guide. Also after I went to the toolsetexport there was 7,593 items instead of two, and that's after I had to cut the process.

Make a shortcut to your desktop of "daorigins.exe" (Dragon Age/bin_ship/daorigins.exe) go to shortcut properties, and under Target add -enabledeveloperconsole (after ..daorigins.exe" )

This can be done on the Steam version by right clicking on the game in your Games List, choosing Properties, and clicking Set Launch Options. This allows you to enter command line option.

Then go into the keybindings.ini file located in "My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Settings\" Find the line "OpenConsole_0=Keyboard::Button_X" (GRAVE is default, change X to any button that is not already used in the game.)

Save the file, and start the game with the shortcut you created on your desktop (daorigins.exe - shortcut)

In-game, you press the key that you have chosen (Keyboard::Button_X) and then type the following codes: (Note, this has only been tested on the retail version, and not the Steam version. Also, you may not see the console, or what you are typing, this is normal.)
