BioWare is continuing support for the PC community with a newer version of its Dragon Age: Origins modification toolset, just recently released.
Version 1.01 fixes a variety of major issues, so for those that've been plugging away at their creations and have run into anything big, this may help you out.
Those moving from version 1.00 to this: be sure to follow these steps to make sure the process goes smoothly as this is a new installer, not a patch. Below are listed some of the items fixed; grab the new version at the source, and more details at the alternate source.
Discourage/prevent the installation of the toolset on a Windows XP SP2 machine, in order to prevent the SQL Server reboot chaos that happens. (SP3 on Windows XP is the minspec)New core resources database with plot GUIDs that are consistant with the ones released with the game so that running the toolset does not mess with your save games. This is the "Click Here if the Toolset Broke your DA:Origins Game" thread.
The "SQL and Steam" issue, which really has nothing to do directly with Steam, it is just an issue of installing SQL Server instance to a long pathname. We are looking to find a new home for this data that will always be under the arbitrary 58 character limit imposed by SQL Server.
Trying to work around the "Toolset Install Stuck at Execute:regsvr32.exe" part way through the install process
Make ERF and GFF editors usable outside of the toolset (removing keyfile checks)
Get FaceFx showing in the menu consistantly (update)
