Modules are the campaigns that players can embark on. They contain the resources needed for the adventure they encompass (though you can also have modules inherit the resources of other modules).

Resources that are in the "Core Games Resources" module are available to all modules.

Properties

General
Client Script Client scripts simulate user input
Include In Resource Build This was used internally in the development of Dragon Age to determine whether a module in the designer database was automatically included in builds.
Name The name of the module, used internally in the toolset title bar and as a fallback in the game if a description string ID has not been set.
Script Event script assigned to the resource
Starting Area The area that the player starts in when the campaign begins.
Starting Waypoint The waypoint within the starting area that the player appears at when the campaign begins. This property is not used if the module is an add-on to an existing module.
Type Core, Module, Package or PRC.
UID "Unique ID", this is not seen by the player. It is used in various configuration files and as the name of the directory that the module is stored in when exported.
