Welcome to the Dragon Age Toolset documentation wiki!
The documentation for the toolset is still being worked on so some of the material here may be incomplete or somewhat out-of-date. The contents of this site will eventually be refined and released to the general public; if you wish to contribute toward that (either by adding your own material or by highlighting holes) you are most welcome and your efforts will be incorporated into the finished product.
- Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.

Getting started
|
Designer tools
Scripting and 2DAsScripting in Dragon Age is a very powerful tool; most of the game's rules and AI are done via scripts and can be overridden at a low level.
Art toolsArt resources are files saved separately from the database. They need to be processed by the toolset (posted to local) to be visible to the designer tools and usable in-game.
|
Technical information
The material in this section is about technical features underlying the toolset, not normally important for routine usage.
- File types - currently just a list of file format extensions.
- Database - database schema and other related information.
- Database migration - instructions for how to update your database when updating your toolset
- Database backup - How to back up or restore the EUTS database
- Database sharing - How to share a database between two or more developers
- Console - a window for entering console commands. Caution, some of these are intended to work with an installed copy of the Dragon Age game and will crash the toolset when used in its current state.
Third party tools
- Web Application - A sample web application that allows you to search and view scripts, search and view conversations, and translate strings. By Adam Miller.
