Eiham's Guide to Creating a New Location in Dragon Age: Origins

TODO: Write some introductory text here

Extending The World Map

This tutorial is intended to show you how to add your own locations to the main Dragon Age: Origins campaign map. This will allow you to add your own adventures and dungeon crawls that tie in with the main story.

Creating Your Module

TODO: Add screenshots and more info

First you'll want to create a new Module. Let's call it "Timmy's Peril". Select "New Module" and give it a relevant tag (I used "eih_timmys_peril"). Note that we want to extend the single player campaign.

IMPORTANT: Change your module_core script to (none) or a script you write yourself. Mods using module_core will break you area transitions.

Creating Your Map

TODO: Add screenshots and more info

Next thing to do is actually create the map. Select New > Map. Give your map a name and tag (I used eih_tim_wide_open_world).

We're going to take an aside here to go and get the world map file from the main campaign.
