Description

Some attempts to add new content or modify existing content are causing a CTD in the game. Everything is working fine in the Toolset. This has nothing to do with the line ID limitations.

  • Convert APR_base.xls to APR_base.GDA and place it into ../Dragon Age/packages/code/override/toolsetexport/ and you got a CTD while loading any module. (even the main campaign).
  • Create APR_xxx.GDA that is containing a new line to be merged with the core APR_base. Place it into ../Dragon Age/AddIns/YourModule/module/override/toosetexport/ You got a CTD while the game is trying to use the new appearance. Even if your appearance is just a copy from the "Human" appearance.

Workarounds

This problem doesn't seem to occur when making simple changes to APR_base in the AddIns folder (e.g. just altering the codex references without adding appearances).

Keep things simple enough so that you don't need to amend this file too much.
