Dragon Age Modding Terms
- Level - A Level is an art asset, a static shell. Whether interior or exterior, a Level file is never directly experienced by the player, and must have a 'Post Local' operation done to it for it to be usable by Areas.
- Area - An Area is where the player actually adventures. When you create an area you must specify a layout which is a Level that has been posted to the database.
- Map - A map refers to the overland map with the clickable icons. This is the travel screen in the main campaign.
- Module - A module is a container of sorts. In order for a player to play your custom content, you must assign it to a module. Modules can be 'Add-Ins' which expand existing modules, including the main campaign, or they can be campaigns that are completely separate from the main one.
Not sure where to put this, but confusion on terminology is cropping up a lot on the forums.
Wacom Settings
Pen:
- Nib is Click
- Eraser is Right Click
- Thumb button (not sure what the official name is) is Middle Click
- All other pen options are default
Mapping: I use dual monitors, so I have the pad mapped to one monitor only.
Function Keys: I have an Intuos3 tablet, so I have 4 functions keys on the left and right. For the moment I'm ignoring the right-hand side. I'm sure I'll come up with things later. The functions on the left are -
- Ctrl (default)
- = (increase brush size)
- - (decrease brush size)
- Pan/Scroll (default)
I'm right handed, so I have the tablet to the right and keyboard to the left. I mostly keep my left hand on WASD, and use a combination of that plus the pen plus the thumb button to move around. Much easier than it sounds. When adjusting the brush sizes, I just left the pen out of sensor range and then click on the appropriate function button. So far this has been working well.
Settings Editor
After being directed to the DefaultSettings.xml file, I can see all sorts of possibilities regarding the customization of hotkeys. I can read in the xml file, working on parsing the commands.
