No toolset has been announced for Dragon Age 2 at the time of writing.
Nevertheless, some of the information in this wiki will help DA2 modders, who may wish to share their knowledge here, too.
Clarity
Obviously, since this wiki was originally written for DAO, by default it refers to DAO, not DA2.
The same applies to the Toolset Forum and Projects, where DA2 modders are most welcome.
So, it would help everyone if DA2 projects, forum posts, wiki articles, sections and comments were clearly labelled as DA2, to avoid confusion.
Ideally, information which only applies to DAO should be labelled, too, but that isn't going to happen comprehensively, so make no assumptions!
Overview : how DA2 differs from DAO
This information is evolving. Early days!
- Since there is no toolset or source material for DA2, it is not possible to work with design resources.
- However, it is possible to make simple changes to the exported resources (areas, creatures, conversations etc) that ship with the game.
- It may also be possible to make new resources with the DAO toolset, export them, and package them for DA2.
- The export format for both DA2 and DAO resources is GFF. DA2 uses version 4.1, which differs slightly from the DAO version 4.0.
- Exported resources are held in containers in ERF format. That article documents the differences in version 3.0, which is used for DA2.
