Using most replacer mods ( using meshes and textures only, no Dazip files) may lead to some issue.after some trying, i found a hierarchy in the file loading, depending on the overrider folde you put the meshes and textures.

you could use any of this folder to add a replacer mod.
please note it's possible to create a folder in the override folder and to put the mod inside.
but if, for any reason, you have several data with the same name in the different override subfolder, the game load th ...

So, several days ago, I realized that if I was going to make my own small campaign in DAO, that the area layout names are rather ambiguous and I would have to try them all out in order to figure out which each was.I came across an article on the DAToolset wiki which was incomplete (by RandyG). I decided to take it upon myself to check all of these areas and give them some sort of meaningful descriptions.
The wiki is located here:
http://social.bioware.com/wiki/datoolset/index.php/ToolSet:_Area_Layouts
/**************************************************************/
I was also thinking that this would be a good place to compile some of the areas, levels, and rooms you guys made and pos ...

Tutorial SubjectThe purpose of this tutuorial is to illustrate how to modify the spell Fireball. Much of the logic that defines spell properties is done in code instead of 2da files, we will be opening up some scripts, and modifying the damage value of fireball. (Not all spell properties are in code, there are still some that are handeled by 2da's)
Tutorial Content
This will be a brief tutorial on how to alter the damage of Fireball in your Dragon Age OC (Original Campaign).
Setup
