Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding General How to add new items to the game world?

I'm trying to add these new skill books into the game, say the hold in the very first part of the game. How do I do that in the engine? Are there any tutorials?

This article goes over adding skills and has a link to the Larian video: http://www.pcgamer.com/how-to-set-up-divinity-original-sin-2s-mod-tools/

Here is a tl;dr:

1. Create an add-on type mod
2. Load "The Hold"
3. Search the root templates for the Skillbook you want
4. Drag and drop to location

Add to chest:

1. Search root templates for a chest, box etc
2. Right click and pick "create new from selected"
3. Change Display Name and file name to a new name
4. Go to "Items" section and add Skill Book(s) and save.
5. Drag and drop to desired location

oh and publish locally
