[airplanenojutsu]

Thanks so much for posting this. It's very helpful.

[ifixurproblem]

fuck i deleted da updater how do i restore it

[lcsmwiley]

@ifixurproblem reinstall it? If you have the retail CD version of it, then it's easy enough to find it - go to the drive your cd should be in once you've put it in there, go to the 'data' folder, and just copy that file over to your installation directory.

[ifixurproblem]

@lcsmwiley nvm i like da modmanager better than this

[torque1718]

Thanks bro i just started modding and its still a little alien to me

[tassadar94]

@alinajustme11 You make one.

[Madara2233]

[TheVikingStoner]

@Madara2233 Bullshit.

[devilboy744]

@TheVikingStoner actually you could while jailbreaking was in. you could download games, mod games, hack and so on. but only when it was jailbroken sadly enough now there are no jailbreaks anymore ;(

[CopsAreFaggots]

Do i Just rename it from blablabla.erf to blablabla.dazip? because the modmanagers won't work with .erf and i've bin messing with how the hell to install mods the whole day now :P

[TheLancemorgan]

how do u get bin-ship becues i dont got a folder for tht

[xxMidgetxxJL]

Is this the same for Dragon Age 2?

[tassadar94]

@xxMidgetxxJL Basically

[ZenChristianity]

Would it be possible to get mods on a ps3 version if the ps3 you were using was jailbroken? Because I really want to try out these mods but hate all things PC related when it comes to RPGs. If you have any thoughts on this I'd love to here em :)



[tOXOPEW]

Thanks alot man apreciate this, i had no idea of the built in updater :)

[Dr4gonbl4d3]

I know this may be a stupid question, but could someone please tell me if the mods for Dragon Age: Orings are workable for both PC download versions and the CD Rom ones?

[tassadar94]

@Dr4gonbl4d3 They work the same.

[Dr4gonbl4d3]

@tassadar94 Ok, thx alot =)

[halo3Ftw1]

[djjosh34445]

@Rodrigo2087 No

[KillaKlown1821]

post link for content updater.



[Orsomir]

Are mods for Dragon Age 2 installed the same way?

[dasiy111]

can you please! do a video on how to download dragon age nexus "dalish mage" mod? i want it so bad!!!

[theFadedfollower]

I'm not sure if anyone else has asked this before but...

So with the override folder stuff, does the game just automatically correct them to DAZip folders so that they will work in the game??

[JohnnySBP1996]

dacontent updater isn't working for me

[RoXaStHeGr8tE789]

can i just have a high dragon shape shifter mod that doesn't require money or made of a RAR file? i want a megaouploaded file so if someone has this i would be very great full.

[tassadar94]

@RoXaStHeGr8tE789 What's wrong with an RAR file?

[RoXaStHeGr8tE789]

@tassadar94 well a RAR file on my computer is it comes up with an option saying to save the file or to open the file with some kind of program and the RAR file only opens up to word pad application and its in some language that has no purpose i think. so do you know what to do now? cause I've modded alot of games and I've beaten this game before and i just want to mod it on xbox360 for the fun of it. so can you help me out? that be great thanks :)

[6252Maja98]

I CANT REGISTER 0.o

An Error Has Occurred!

Sorry, registration is currently disabled.

What is wrong?!?!?!

[JohnnySBP1996]

im getting dragon age for pc tomorow purely because i want to try out mods. im hopeless on computers so i just wana know how hard is it to install these mods?

[tassadar94]

@JohnnySBP1996 It's not hard at all.

[Vahir]

Is a .Danzip folder different than a .zip one, and if so, how do I make one?

[LostClayProductions]

great vid, helped me alot,

thanks bud

[AngelStrife89]

So you can't add Mods to the Xbox 360 version? If so then how can you do it?

[Gearsajo]

@AngelStrife89 you only mod for pc. There are no mods for the 360 and ps3

[NewKindOfHelp]

Can u get banned from live?

[Gearsajo]

@NewKindOfHelp Its only for PC.

[halo3Ftw1]

im have done nealry all of that but one bar has downloaded but the other one wont

[theghostisjack]

Helped a lot, thanks bro

[CrimsonDivine]

thanks, this helped alot

[zombiefriend]

If you have to override it, is there a way to get whatever you modded back to normal? Or do you just remove the override mod from the folder?

[tassadar94]

@zombiefriend You just remove it.

[mylittlewomen]

thanks so much for this guide, my problem is with .rar files, I want to download a dragon age redesign file but it is a .rar file and I cant seem to be able to installed it

[EmptyInfinity1]

@mylittlewomen Get WinRAR. A RAR file is just a further compressed Zip file.

[SovietcomandoV2]

where can i download the dragon age updater and can i transfer any of the downloaded material to a USB stick for xbox 360?

[Yeahitswill]

@SovietcomandoV2 at this time you cannot put mods onto either the ps3 or the 360, there has been talk about bioware allowing custom content (mods) onto the ps3 and 360, but so far, nothing has happened

[Mandysummers3]

For the second half of the video, when youshowed up the override folder... I can't get the files to work :\ They won't show up

[tassadar94]

@WICKEDvCLOWN Try downloading DAModder :)

[VansLegacy]

dude r u downloadingsuff? (a utuber)

u sound exactly lik him

[DudeRafi]

where do you get the updater?

[ModdersNetwork]

you can get mods for consoles peeps lol theres just no videos on youtube on how to mod dragon age unless its for a computer i might make a video on modding dragon age on xbox

[TherinAndHisBongos]

nexus ftw

[littlebopeepster]

you know what i mean

[littlebopeepster]

bullshit. ps3 is kinda sort almost not really in a way like a computer. i want mods too damnit

[tassadar94]

@littlebopeepster All consoles are "computers" xD

[MekuDream]

1 Dislike Because The person Doesn't own dragon age. :3

[RockkingXXX]

Dam i got dragon age using steam so i dont think its the same thing.

[tassadar94]

@RockkingXXX It should be similar in some way. I'm sure if you look you can find it.

[2Benjones]

@RockkingXXX Go to OS (C:)>Program Files x86> Dragon Age>bin_ship. You've probably found it, but there it is for anyone who hasn't...

[BelleMort6]

I'm having issues when trying to intall mods. I have vista, and any time I try to open the daupdater.exe, or open a mod to install it I immediately get an error screen saying "-The file- has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution." Every time. Do you have any idea if this is caused by a particular security setting on vista that I need to change or what, because it's driving me crazy, lol. Any suggestions would rock, thank you. =)

[tassadar94]

@BelleMort6 Vista always has random problems like that. Try running the program in administrator

[BelleMort6]

@tassadar94 Yea, I have. Must be something out of date on my computer, like the .net framework or something. Wish I could figure it out, lol. Thanks for the reply, though!

[RadioActiveStreetBum]

nexus sites are better!!!!!

[tassadar94]

@RadioActiveStreetBum Yes. Read annotations?

[RadioActiveStreetBum]

@tassadar94 lmao i know that, just spreadin the word of my fav site, like everyone does :)

[FNM09playa]

Thanks for the info now im going to get this game for my computer sucks you cant do the mods on the xbox360

[MrRyandietrich]

boob mods are the best

[clouddragon2012666]

hey does anyone know if you can install mods on ps3.....you if know plz tell

[tassadar94]

@clouddragon2012666 No you can't install mods for ps3

[clouddragon2012666]

@tassadar94 thanks for the info....i guess ill pay the pc version then

[Bacbi]

thanks :D

[LYCANS4EVER]

Thank you so much dude! You don't know how much you 've helped!! Only one question will i have to unistall any mod when i import for emample my awakening save to golems of amgarak or witch hunt?

[tassadar94]

@LYCANS4EVER Sorry not sure what you are asking?

[LYCANS4EVER]

@tassadar94 It's ok. I found what i wanted. Thanks again...

[Sicaholic]

thank you so much

[tassadar94]

@Sicaholic You're welcome thanks for watching :)

[SerahFarronLce]

Okay I checked Dragonagenexus and they did have most of them that I liked there. Thank you very much! :]

[SerahFarronLce]

Okay so I just got Dragon Age Origins again. I went to damods.com but when I tried to register it says "An Error Has Occurred! Sorry, registration is currently disabled." And I really liked all the mods they had on that site. :[ Do you possibly know why it's doing this to me?

[tassadar94]

@SerahFarronLce Not sure, maybe damods doesn't work anymore? Most of the mods that were on DaMods came from Dragonagenexus so you should just check it out there. If you want to find any particular mods that arent on Dragonagenexus you can probably just google it or something.

[Fear08MX]

Is there any risk of downloading a virus?

[tassadar94]

@Fear08MX There should be a very little chance of getting a virus. The community there is really large and people probably will notify mods if there is a suspected virus.

[2xstas]

I installed a mod, and now I dont want it.So i destroyed the armor parts.

But sometimes the armor parts appear again.how can I remove the mod?

[tassadar94]

@2xstas If you have DAModder you can uninstall it from there. You can also disable it in the Dragon Age Origins Main Menu. Also you can go into your Addins folder in your Dragon Age Folder and remove the mod.

[MrTerangi]

Dude awesome vid big help :)

[dreamercrazy123]

Can somebody please tell me where to find the DAUPDATER thing! I can't find it anywhere!

[SK8xJoe]

@dreamercrazy123 HDD > Program files > Dragonage > Bin-ship > double click the DAupdater in that folder.

[SKU11KRUSH3R]

is this for 360 or PC?

[tassadar94]

@SKU11KRUSH3R PC.

[GothreiN12]

Thank you so much!!!

[tangpuz500]

what if the file is 7z or perhaps a zipped folder? I already dowloaded the better sex, the equal love mod, and hairstyles mod. The better sex and the equal love are both in 7z file, while the hairstyles mod is in a zipped folder after I download. What should I do?

[tassadar94]

@tangpuz500 Winrar can still decompress those files so you do the same thing.

[tangpuz500]

@tassadar94 I see...I learned the part about decompressing zipped folders, but what about the 7z files? I asked other people (youtubers) and they said I have to put the 7z files to a specific area inside Dragon Age files. And I don't need to install those 7z files, is that true?

[tassadar94]

@tangpuz500 You extract the 7z files as well.

[lobzpooatu]

Hey thanks for the help.

[tassadar94]

@iAddictions Google Rocketdock. There you can find the setup and customize the theme.

[SaintAlessa]

i love you for this thank you so much!!!

[BranerNinja]

This helped alot :D

I'm crap at this sort of thing but this video got me going so Thumbs up for you!!!

[tassadar94]

@BranerNinja Good hope you enjoy playing with the mods.

[MrJustinArt]

Hate to nag but can you try to install Dark Flame Sword and Shield from nexus? Again, Thank you so much for showing how to install hair styles

[tassadar94]

@MrJustinArt Sure i will try to get to it soon

[MrJustinArt]

Great.... Damods.com registration is disabled... -:-

[tassadar94]

@MrJustinArt Just use dragonagenexus. it is much better anyways.

[MrJustinArt]

@tassadar94 Can you do a vid where you install a mod like more hair options? I'm a little new to these things

[tassadar94]

@MrJustinArt Sure are there any specific ones you want?

[MrJustinArt]

@tassadar94 "More hairstyles"

It's on Nexus^^

[tassadar94]

@MrJustinArt I'll try to get to it soon but currently I am not at home so I do not have my mic and software to make a video. I apologize for the delay.

[MrJustinArt]

@tassadar94 No problem. Take your time:)

[masterofpuppies666]

Thank you sooo much man it worked and its fucking awesome thanks for doing this!!

[tassadar94]

@masterofpuppies666 My pleasure :)

[xskatrjakex]

i download it and its a .rar file and wont work?

[tassadar94]

@xskatrjakex Do you know what you are doing? Read the readme that from which you downloaded it from. There should be instructions. You need to extract it.

[xskatrjakex]

@tassadar94 ok thanks for that done it now and nope lol i had no clue on what i was doing first computer game ive ever got and first time modder but thanks alot anyways great video :)

[BurnRGO619]

how did you get the updater?

[tassadar94]

@BurnRGO619 It is in your dragon age origins bin_ship folder.

[BurnRGO619]

@tassadar94 and that's in the original game files?

[tassadar94]

@BurnRGO619 Yes.

[IIDevilsII]

says you must register, then when i click on "register" it says "You are not allowed to view this category. "

[bollenjr]

ok can anyone plz make a video on how to MAKE mods

[Lordnaty]

Perfect, got my extremly over powered ring. Worked fine now I have 250 health regen a second while in combat and crap load of extra stats. Thanks for making this.

[tassadar94]

@Lordnaty Whoa can you say OP???? Lol whatever you like i guess.

[mrfinke]

Wow, this was very helpful. I'm not a pc gamer at all. However, I was thinking of buying DA:O for the pc because of the mods but I was unsure if I'd be able to figure out how to install them but this helps a lot. Thanks!

[MrJustinArt]

Ahahaha! Frostmourne in DA =D Sweeeet!

[Systemofadown4u1]

tassadar94 @ so this only works on PC ?

[tassadar94]

@Systemofadown4u1 Yes only works on PC.

[Hunterowns4life2]

ok now when i extract it where do i put the meshes and textures?

[tassadar94]

@Hunterowns4life2 You should read the readme from where you downloaded the file from.

[Hunterowns4life2]

whenever i download the mod they become winrar files and i dont know what to do

[tassadar94]

@Hunterowns4life2 extract it..

[Hunterowns4life2]

my downloads keep coming out as winrar files and i have no idea what to do

[polmp789]

how o i remove them? its rly annoying i did the new cleric class and now i cant see my character in creating char

[tassadar94]

@polmp789 You can go into the Downloadable Content on Main menu to disable it. Or if it was in your override folder, simply delete the files that you put in there.

[TheLancemorgan]

how do you get da updater

[felswitch]

Thanks Man. Very clear.

[IvOOO95]

@behneeve

yes this game is perfect for christmas! and all the blood reminds on the day that Jesus died.

OMG ppl if you are so stupid to post virus links than please read the text that you type!

[knockdoun]

the Override folder isnt there do I just make it?

[tassadar94]

@knockdoun Yes you just create a folder called override

[TheLancemorgan]

@tassadar94 how do you get da updater

+

[TheLancemorgan]

@tassadar94 how do you get updater because i don't have bin ship

[tassadar94]

@TheLancemorgan Well try looking for something called DAModder. It should help.

[tassadar94]

Well what kind of files are they?

[PeePulz]

5* vid sir! Do you think most of the mods will work for the steam version of the game? Considering how steam automatically updates games whenever a patch is released are most of these mods restricted to a certain version of the game?

[tassadar94]

Yes it will work. However of course some mods wont work because of the version. They still work the same. Hope that helps.

[naikele1]

tass u rock :D but the expansions are those considerd mods?

[tassadar94]

No but the DLC work in the same way. They are DAZip files so you use the DA Updater the same way for installing them.

[menelainho14]

Do you know where can i download the Blood Armor?

[PcavadoX]

hey thanks man

[bleachkisskill]

i want to download the game how do i do it?

[tassadar94]

Thats your own problem :)
