- Status: Open
Description
When exporting a module, unnecessary and potential harmful files are created in the \packages\core\overide folder.
This happens when, for example, you select all resources for your module in the palette (excluding any core resource folders), and export without dependent resources.
The potentially dangerous resources are plot files, including (but possibily not limited to):
- plt_cod_aow_spellcombo9.plo
- plt_gen00pt_backgrounds.plo
plt_gen00pt_party.plo plt_genpt_core_achievements.plo plt_tut_combat_injury.plo plt_tut_combat_injury_lots.plo plt_tut_control_followers.plo plt_tut_friendly_aoe.plo plt_tut_specialty_class.plo
The other files are script header source files (.nss). While these cannot have any impact on gameplay, they are unnecessary clutter.
Workarounds
Under most circumstances, it is wise and safe to delete the contents of the \packages\core\overide folder before playing the game or doing a Builder to Player export.
Windows Vista example - use Notepad to put the following lines into text file. Fill in the USERNAME. Change the file extension to .bat and double-click on it to execute.
cd c:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\Packages\Core\Override\Toolsetexport
erase *.* /Q
There are minor exceptions. For example, the standalone Character Creator doesn't read from the addins folder, so if you're trying to change that program's behaviour, resources need to go in the \packages\core\overide folder manually.
