Right so I finally figured out how to parse DAI’s layout files that determine which characters spawns when. Kind of a headache because it’s one file referencing two other files simultaneously and you have to have them open in a hex editor to parse what’s happening because the xml preview doesn’t provide enough information that you can tell from that alone.
next up figuring out how they modify the environment over time…
So, two mods, unlikely to go up on the Nexus, for chronic mage-supporters who want to play through the Calpernia storyline every once in a while without dying a little on the inside.
No Fiona Boss Fight - I’m absolutely amazed this doesn’t crash the game lmao but Fiona will just not show up during In Your Heart Shall Burn. this means you miss a sub-boss but I don’t really mind things that make subsequent playthroughs faster so
Fiona Always Spawns at Skyhold - not going to attempt to edit her conversation to make sense but I tend to assume u could recruit both mages and templars at the same time if u really put the effort into it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
also got the influence shop spawning at skyhold right away but that is going up on the nexus in a mini-mod collection hopefully shortly
ideally I’d like to get a tutorial-of-sorts up soon explaining roughly how ebx files work since information is pretty scattered. that’s not a promise but if there’s something specific you’d like included lmk
