 * The DAO toolset does not support ERF 3.0 or GFF 4.1 (see next section for alternate tools). With an available version 2.0 erf file, courtesy of Thought Process, the DAO toolset can be used to compile scripts that can be used in DA2. Similar custom erf files could likely be made to enable using models from DA2 in the DAO toolset to create new creature templates, though these will likely require hand editing in a stand-alone gff editor for use in DA2. Since many DA2 file types are the same as their DAO counterparts (with perhaps minor differences), those files will likely work as exported from the DAO toolset; if not, there are ways to tweak them manually.

 * One exception is that the DAO conversation format (.dlg) has been replaced by .cnv in DA2. However, they share the same basic node structure, and it may be possible to convert dlg files to cnv.
