This article shows how to edit your save-game files using pyGFF so you can change the projectiles of your character's currently equipped bow/staff.
1. Download Mephales's pyGFF.
2. Open editor.exe, select the menu: File --> Open, the choose your game save file ( in das
type), which is in your “My Documents” folder, such as C:\Users\XXX\Documents\BioWare\DragonAge\Characters\TOM\Saves\QuickSave_1\XXX.das.
You might want to create a backup file before editing it.
3. Inside the save file table, navigate to GFF V4.0 SAVE 1.1 PC --> 16002 SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR --> 16208 SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR_CHAR --> 16219 SAVEGAME_EQUIPMENT_ITEMS.
If you want to edit your companions' weapon instead, navigate to GFF V4.0 SAVE 1.1 PC --> 16203 SAVEGAME_PARTYLIST --> 16204 SAVEGAME_PARTYPOOLMEMBERS --> XXX ---> 16219 SAVEGAME_EQUIPMENT_ITEMS.
4. Expand the bow/staff you want to edit, their code-names are usually like gen_im_wep_rng_lbw_XXX (lbw for longbows, sbw for shortbows, cbw for crossbows) or gen_im_wep_mag_sta_XXX (mage staffs).
Note that your currently equipped weapon is usually listed at the first row.
5. Select the last row of the target weapon, whose name is 1SCRIPTVARTABLE; Click the Add Button at the bottom field of the program, then in the pop-out window choose “SVI1” type.
6. Expand 1SCRIPTVARTABLE, then select the new row you just added, under which you can see another two rows: SCRIPTVARTABLE_NAME and SCRIPTVARTABLE_VALUE.
7. Select SCRIPTVARTABLE_NAME, type PROJECTILE_OVERRIDE in the blank text box below, then Click Save button under the text box.
8. Select SCRIPTVARTABLE_VALUE, and type in your expected projectile IDs (See the next section for details). Also don’t forget to click the Save button.
9. After changing the projectile launched by the edited weapon, select menu: File --> Save As, then override your XXX.das save file.
10. Load the save in game and check out the changes.
