Holocron Toolset
By Cortisol
This modding toolset is a work in progress and I carry no responsibility to any damage done to your game files or lost work that may occur. Some antiviruses will flag a false positive and prevent you from opening the application. If this happens you will need to configure your antivirus to allow the program to run.
Holocron Toolset is a collection of modding tools packaged in a single application aimed at streamlining modding development for KotOR/TSL, drawing inspiration from Kotor Tool and the NWN Aurora Toolset. There are editors available for nearly every file type used by the game. Also included with it is a 3D module editor and a "Map Builder" which the user can use to create new maps by rearranging existing models already used in the game.
Discord for suggestions + bug reports: https://discord.com/invite/3ME278a9tQ
If you are running Windows 7 or 8 and get a missing DLL error when opening the program you will need to download the Visual C++ Redist from Microsoft.

KotOR SaveGame Editor
By Fair Strides
KotOR Savegame Editor is a Perl/Tk application used in the editing of
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic savegame files.
The following fields are currently editable:
- Savegame name
- Player name
- NPC Name
- Appearance (player and party)
- Portrait (player and party)
- Attributes
- Skill Ranks
- Equipment (player and party)***
- Feats (add/remove)**
- Powers (add/remove)**
- Cheats Used flag
- Hit Points (current and max*)
- Force Points (current and max*)
- Experience Points (player and party)
- Good/Evil rating
- Credits
- Time played
- Class (see notes below)**
- Levels
- Current Party
- NPCs
- Global Booleans
- Global Numerics
- Gender
- Min1HP
- Inventory**
- Influence (TSL only)
- Chemicals (TSL only)
- Components (TSL only)
- Quests
*=Note: Max Hit Points and Max Force Points, while editable appear to be calculated
at the time the savegame is loaded. Therefore while these fields are editable, the
game will change the values back to what it calculates as correct. It is therefore
better to change your Wis/Cha and Con to affect your MFP and MHP.
** Not supported on Xbox Saves, will cause "Damaged Savegame" message.

Known Bugs
===============
No saves found (You have Steam KotOR 2 and use cloud saves)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Go to your KotOR 2 folder and make a folder called "saves".
Inventory Hiccup
------------------
If an item is added to your inventory and it has the same Tag as another item, KSE
will generate an error.
Getting Stuck During Vision Sequence (KotOR1)
----------------------------------------------
Symptom: After leaving the Endar Spire or Leaving Taris, you run into a sequence
where you should be seeing a "dream" cutscene but instead you're locked up in a
room with a "CutStart" object that doesn't do anything.
Cause: You have NOT placed the modified .dlg files into your override directory
and you have changed your character to a Jedi/Minion/Droid class or you have
changed your Gender to something other than Male or Female.
Fix: Download the KSE Fixed Cutscene Files (available from http://www.pcgamemods.com/8800 )
and place the .dlg files into your Override folder.
==============================================
After changing appearance to look like (an NPC), the real NPC has no head!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Symptom: You change appearance to look like one of your party NPCs and all is well
until you attempt to enter a new area with that NPC. Then the NPC loses its head!
Cause: SW:KotOR doesn't like two unique characters appearing together.
Fix: From T7Nowhere's post on Holowan Labs--
===============================================================
Equipment Section
------------------
Due to an unknown bug, the Equipment branch might become unusable.
The only fix is to restart KSE.

tpcview
By ndix UR
View and export Odyssey Engine proprietary texture formats.
A lightweight, somewhat quick viewer for textures in TPC format, or the proprietary header DDS format used in Aurora and its descendants.
Also provides a capability to export to TGA, which is useful when you find images that won't convert via any other tool.
The viewer aspect is a bit of an afterthought, as for the longest time this was just where I tested my TPC=>TGA conversion code. However, over time, I found myself wanting a simple viewer that could preview a lot of images at once, so this happened.
The application is cross-platform, available for macOS and Windows.
The app is written in javascript, built on Electron using three.js.
============================================================
How do I set it up?
Windows: Download the '-installer' file, unzip the 7z package, run tgaview Setup <version>.exe
Mac: unzip the package, move tpcview.app to /Applications, run it
* This is not a signed application, so you have to do whatever is required to run non-MAS applications on your MacOS version.
The application provides file associations for TPC & DDS files. Hopefully the DDS association will not override any you may already have for non-proprietary DDS files.
============================================================
How do I use it?
Viewing
Drag files in. They should show up. The files you drag in fill the window in a list that generally resembles the file input order. They all show at once, so there's a moderate memory requirement around loading many files at once. For example, loading the 5210 TPC files from TSL takes 2.25G memory on my machine, your mileage will vary.
Mouse over images to get info about them in the window's title bar. Click images to toggle scaling the image to fit the window and viewing the information about them in the info panel at the bottom of the window.
Double click the background of the window to clear all loaded images.
Exporting
Use modifier keys while dragging in order to get Export as TGA functionality. A description of the export activity you are requesting shows up in the info panel at the bottom while you are dragging. Export will occur while the file is being loaded. You cannot export already open images without dragging them in again.
Files are exported into same directory as original TPC files being dragged, THEY WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING TGA FILES WITHOUT WARNING.
When a TPC file is exported to TGA, a TXI file will also be generated if the original TPC file contained such information.
When adding alpha blending value to TXI output, only non-1.0 values will be added (as 1.0 is considered default).
============================================================
Features
View TPC format 32bpp, 24bpp, and 8bpp compressed and uncompressed images View Aurora proprietary DDS format 32bpp and 24bpp compressed images Export to TGA Export TXI files containing the texture extension information from TPC files Export all detail levels (mipmaps) present in original image file (can help debugging image compressors) Add an alpha blending value from the TPC header into exported TXI file outputs, i.e. '# alphablending 0.67' File association for TPC and DDS formats with provided file type icons1,847 downloads

KotOR Scripting Tool - 2021
By Blue
About Kotor Scripting Tool
Kotor Scripting Tool is my attempt at a scripting interface for nwnnsscomp.exe.
I originally designed this tool to aid me in my scripting efforts back in the day. My desire was to create a scripting tool with some of the creature comforts that today's coders have come to expect. The core features that were important for me were the ability to have NWScript function name Auto Completion and Syntax Highlighting. If anyone is interested in helping to extend its functionality be sure to check out the link to the GItHub repo below.
Anyways that's enough rambling for now!
Happy Modding!
Features include:
Compile .nss Scripts
Syntax highlighting
AutoComplete Suggestions (Beta)
Tabbed Text Editor
Advanced Find & Replace
Browsable nwscript function list
Browsable nwscript constants list
Zip Archive
Download and extract the zip file. Once extracted navigate to the directory and run Kotor Scripting Tool.exe
This program was compiled in C# with version 4.0 of the .NET Framework if you do not already have it downloaded you will need to download it [here].
The source code has been released on my GitHub account https://github.com/KobaltBlu/KotOR-Scripting-Tool.

KOTOR TOOL
THIS PROGRAM IS MADE BY FRED TETRA I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS PROGRAM,
i also have some of the map files from the site if any one has more pm or email me, ill upload them here.
here is the original readme for this program.
Kotor Tool v1.0.2210.16738 (2006-1-19 12:38)
About this program...
I originally wrote this tool so I could experiment with 2DA files and scripts.
Through feature suggestions, it has grown quite a bit into what many tell me
is a pretty handy utility.
Thanks to all of those who have taken the time to make those suggestions and put
up with the occasional bug that creeps in at 2:00 in the morning!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements...
I should (and will!) mention in the readme file that you need to have
the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installed.
You can get it at:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/a/c/aac39226-8825-44ce-90e3-bf8203e74006/dotnetfx.exe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contact info...
fredtetra@hotmail.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick start instructions...
Unzip the kotor_tool.exe, ImageTools.dll files and the Maps folder to a directory.
The first time you run the program, it will attempt to
detect where you have installed KotOR and configure
some of the directory paths it needs to work. It will
then bring up the path management screen so you can verify them.
To work with BIF files:
Expand the BIFs item on the tree view.
You can:
- Select any *.bif file from the tree view, then click
Extact to extract every file in it to a directory
- Select any file in a bif, then click Extact to extract
it to a directory
- Select any file in a bif, then click Hex View to see
it in Hex/ANSI/Unicode
- Double-click on any 2da file to bring up the editor for it.
You can then edit the values and write the file to a directory.
(Most likely the override folder in yout KotOR folder)
Clicking on the column header in the editor grid will sort it
based on the values in that column. Repeated clicking will
change the sort direction.
- You can also open the 2da v2.b file editor from the File menu
for editing. NOTE: You do not have to open the chitin.key file first.
- 2DA editing features:
* Add line to end, delete any line, right click
to insert new line. Be careful with those last two!
* You can renumber the row labels from the right-click menu
* Undo all changes
* Reset sort to "as opened" mode (press F5 or use menu
* Import and export your 2da files in XML format
- Double click on any nss/vis/txi file to bring up the editor for it.
You can then edit the text and write the file to a directory.
- To extract a .mdl (Model) file, double click on it; the model will be
extracted and converted, along with any required TGA-format textures.
NOTE: You must have CChargin's Extract0-5 program installed in the
same directory as Kotor Tool.
To work with RIM files:
Expand the RIMs item on the tree view.
- Select any *.rim file from the tree view, then click
Extact to extract every file in it to a directory
- Select any file in a rim, then click Extact to extract
it to a directory
- Double-click on almost any file in a rim to launch the GFFEditor,
assuming you have installed it in the kotor_tool directory
- Control-Double-click on almost any file in a rim to launch text editor
with a syntax-colored version of the GFF file's contents
- Shift-Double-click on almost any file in a rim to launch text editor
with a plain-text version of the GFF file's contents.
To work with ERF files:
Expand the ERFs item on the tree view.
- Select any file in a rim, then click Extact to extract
it to a directory
- Double-click on almost any file in a rim to launch the editor for it.
- TPC files now can be viewed with the built-in image viewer. You can also
save the files in TGA format from the viewer.
- If you like using the keyboard to navigate the treeview, you can use the
spacebar to open the Image Viewer with a TPC file selected.
- If the Image Viewer is open, moving up and down the list of TPC files
with the arrow keys will show each image in turn. Note: some files cannot
yet be viewed.
- To view tpc files in an external app, hold down the Shift key while
double-clicking. You need tpc2tga and an image viewer. (see below)
- Some tpc files have a format that is not yet understood. Attempting
to view one of these files may either show a strange image or
crash the program.
Notes:
* You can specify whether or not you want to automatically convert extracted .tpc files to TGA format
from the Tools | Options... menu. This is only used with the external tpc2tga program.
* If you also want to be able to view the .tpc files using an external program
you must install a TGA file viewer and specify the path to it in the Path Manager.
You can download a free TGA viewer at http://www.creabit.com/viewer/
* You can specify whether or not you want the BIF tree built at
program startup or not from the Tools | Options... menu.
If you leave the checkbox unchecked, the BIF portion of the
tree view will only be built when you attempt to expand it.

K-GFF
By TK102
From the original thread on Lucasforums:
K-GFF (GFF Editing Utility) v1.3.0 (Jan 8, 2008)
Yet another GFF Editor...
This one features some extra support for KotOR/TSL namely in the form of VECTOR and ORIENTATION fields. These field types, as you may recall, were not present when GFFEditor.exe was published on Bioware's web site. Consequently certain GFF files (eg.: .git, .ifo) would become corrupted by editing. K-GFF supports these fields, hence you will no longer need to use CamEdit if you edit a module's .git file. Support for StrRef fields (Field Type: 18) has also been added for Jade Empire modding as of v1.1.9.
Another enhnacement over GFFEditor is the support for multiple CEXOLOCSTRING substring editing. It is now feasible for instance to publish a .dlg file with localized strings that is readable in all languages.
Other little features include: rudimentary support for BINARY fields (you can import and export these fields to files to perform hex editing), Cut/Copy/Paste of nodes, optional TLK file integration so you can translate StringRefs if you choose.

TSL Patcher, TLKEd, and Accessories
By Fair Strides
Inside this download, you will find several VERY useful tools. Almost all of these were made by stoffe originally and the only alteration I made was to make sure TSL Patcher did NOT check for the presence of the dialog.tlk file to verify the path you're installing the mod to. This was done to allow installing mods to the Workshop folders.
Of note in this package are three files:
1. ReadMe, really.pdf - A read-me file that really should be read if you want to understand how to do something with the TSL Patcher.
2. nwnnsscomp.exe - A modified script compiler that TSL Patcher uses to substitute tokens (such as .2da row pieces) in source scripts (.nss files) and then compile the scripts.
3. nwscript.nss - As far as I'm aware, the nwscript.nss file from KotOR 2, required by nwnnsscomp.exe to compile scripts.
Below are the original release thread descriptions for stoffe's work and I honestly don't think I could put it better than she already did years ago.
TLK Ed:
TSL Patcher (along with ChangeEdit):
A few quick "how to" examples:
Insert new branches into DLG files.
( http://web.archive.org/web/20150911133933/http://www.lucasforums.com/showpost.php?p=2135535&postcount=177 )
Install a New Player Appearance mod.
( http://web.archive.org/web/20150929073207/http://www.lucasforums.com/showpost.php?p=2168405&postcount=201 )
Troubleshooting:
Q: I get a RichEdit line insertion error when trying to install mods. What's wrong?
A: It seems a few people have odd versions of the RichEdit DLL files installed in their system that doesn't play nice with the colored text box component TSLPatcher uses. To work around this you could try to replace the RichEd DLL files with versions that should work. Extract the two DLL files from this archive and put them in your Windows\Windows32 folder. Move existing files with those names to a safe location first so you can restore them if this causes other problems! Do not overwrite them!
Alternatively, if you don't want to mess with your DLL files, you could force TSLPatcher to use a plain text box for status messages rather than the colored/formatted one. To do this, use Notepad to open the changes.ini file found inside the tslpatchdata folder that came with the mod you wish to install. Under the [settings] section, change the value of the key PlaintextLog from 0 to 1. Q: I'm not seeing any Install Mod button, and the text field in the TSLPatcher window seems to extend behind the window boundraries.
A: This odd problem some people experience seems to be tied to what screen resolution and pixel density is being used in your monitor settings, but I have been unable to replicate it or figure out exactly what's going on. As a workaround you can "click" on the Install button by using it's quick keyboard command. Pressing the [ALT] keys on your keyboard should start the installation process. Q: When trying to install a mod it complains that it's not a valid installation location. What's wrong?
A: Make sure you are selecting the folder the game is installed in, not the override folder, when the TSLPatcher asks you where to install the mod. Q: When trying to install a mod it complains that access was denied to the dialog.tlk file.
A: Make sure that your dialog.tlk file is not write protected. This file is found in the same folder as the swkotor.exe binary. To check if it's write protected and undo it, right-click on the file, pick Properties in the context menu and uncheck the write protected checkbox.

script compiler knsscomp
By Cortisol
The knsscomp application is intended to be a cross-platform alternative to the various versions of nwnnsscomp that support compiling scripts for KotOR.
If you are using Windows, I would recommend sticking with nwnnsscomp as that is the far more tested and stable solution for compiling script files. That is unless you wish to aid in the development, then continually using knsscomp will help find out bugs and make it stabler program overall.
If you do encounter an issue with a compiled (such as the script not working the way intended in-game) and you have access to nwnnsscomp, then it is recommended to see if it works correctly if compiled with that program instead. If you believe the issue is with knsscomp itself, send the script file to Cortisol on Deadlystream or Discord and he will investigate.
This compiler has the include scripts and nwscript data embedded within the program and so it is not necessary to bundle them in the app folder. You can, however, include nwscript with the knsscomp as a way of the program automatically determining what game version.
The optimize flag currently does nothing and is there as a placeholder for future versions to use.

K2Console - A Console For KOTOR 2
By lachjames
DESCRIPTION
This is a little tool that mimics the visible console from K1, in TSL. It's written in Python (I've attached the source code below).
IMPORTANT NOTES
- The tool does not work in fullscreen mode (for now). I'd like to fix this in the future, but for now it only works in windowed mode.
- The tool doesn't connect to TSL at all - it's completely separate. This means that (for example) if you open the console in TSL with tilde, and then alt-tab out of TSL and press tilde again, K2Console will detect this but TSL itself won't (meaning K2Console and TSL will be out of sync).
- If you get out of sync and/or want to start the program again, you can type "xxxxx" (five x's in a row) into the console while it's open, which will close the program. Then just run the file "k2console.exe" and it'll start up again. No need to restart TSL (but make sure the TSL console is closed when you start K2Console, or you'll still be out of sync).
- This program works by reading your keyboard inputs and storing them to memory, which is also one way a keylogger might work - so your anti-virus might identify it as such. This code does not connect to the internet at all (you can verify this for yourself if you like). I haven't included the source with the program package to avoid cluttering your TSL installation, but I included it as a separate download below.
INSTALLATION
Unzip all three files into the same folder as swkotor2.exe (i.e. C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Knights of the Old Republic II\, or wherever your TSL installation is located).
UNINSTALLATION
Delete the three files "k2console.exe", "console.bat", and "steam_console.bat".
INITIALIZATION
If you use Steam: Instead of starting your game through Steam, you can start it by running the file "steam_console.bat", located in your TSL install folder.
Otherwise: Start the game by running "console.bat", again located in your TSL install folder.
USAGE
- Whenever you press ` to open the console in TSL, the mimic console should pop up too. I tried my best to exactly match the behavior of the TSL console (e.g. when it keeps text vs clears it), but if you find any discrepancies please let me know so I can fix them.
- If I did my job, you shouldn't really be able to tell that the console's not built into TSL, so just use it as normal (with the ability to see what you wrote!)
- To close the program (not TSL, just the console), type "xxxxx" (5 x's in a row) into the open console (this won't work if the console's not visible). Alternatively, you can close the command line that opens when you run the .bat file.
INCLUSION IN OTHER MODS
I'm not sure why you'd want to include this in other mods, but if you want to, you're welcome to do so with appropriate attribution.
CREDITS
Thanks to Thor110 for the idea for this tool, and for helping out with testing and ideas (as well as taking the screenshot for me).

ERFEdit
By Fair Strides
DISCLAIMER: I did not make ERFEdit originally. I did however receive the source code from Stoffe via PM at Lucas Forums, after telling her about a severe issue that needed to be fixed. I have fixed the issue and am now releasing the updated version of the tool.
ERF/RIM Edit
Version: v0.5
Released: 2006-05-18
Updated: 2007-03-11
Updated_FS: 2017-03-19
What is this?
-------------
This is a simple Packer/Unpacker/Browser for the ERF/MOD/SAV/HAK/RIM format files used by the bioware engine games Neverwinter Nights and Knights of the Old Republic. The resource type list is updated to handle some types of files used by the KotOR games that were not used by Neverwinter Nights.
It is capable of creating new files or modify existing ones, as well as extract any resources found within the file. A simple search feature makes it easier to locate resources in the list within large ERF format files.
The Description field is currently not shown or editable since it is not used with the KotOR games.
User Interface shortcuts
------------------------
You may drag and drop files into the list to add them instead of using the "Insert" button, or you may drag selected files from the list to the Desktop or a Windows Explorer window to extract them rather than use the "Extract" button. Selected files in the list can be deleted with the hotkeys Backspace and DEL in addition to using the Remove button.
When dragging many or large files from the ERF/RIM file to the desktop (or a Windows Explorer window), keep the mouse button pressed until the progress bar has reached 100%, then drag the files to where you want them and let go. Hopefully I'll be able to fix this quirky behavior in the future.
IMPORTANT!
----------
New files/resources added to an ERF file are not actually added until you Save the file. Do not move, rename or delete any files you have added before you save the open ERF/RIM file, or the resource will not be added upon save.
Resources in the list with an asterisk (*) following the ResRef are newly added and not yet saved into the file. These files cannot be extracted until the ERF file has been saved.

JRLEdit - Journal Editing Tool
By Fair Strides
Warning:
You will need three dlls, which can be found here. These will have to be in the same folder as JRLEditor, OR you can follow the instructions in the DLL link. This will work for all of my tools.
Warning Done.
Well, I'm back with another modding tool!
This time, it's a graphical editor for the Quest Journal in KotOR 1 and 2. It came about as a result of my seeing a 2005 request for one when browsing tk102's old threads at LucasForums...
I'd like to thank a few people up front:
ZM90: Letting me code the tool while working on K1R.
Varsity Puppet: Critique and banter concerning the tool.
HarIII: Critique and banter concerning the tool.
Malkior: The AMAZING icon he made for the tool!
JRLEdit allows you to quickly and easily edit the .jrl files used by the KotOR games. This file controls the Player's quests, and so is often modded with large projects.
With JRLEdit, you have the quests in an organized list, and can delete certain parts with the click of a mouse, or open up the interface when you click on a quest. The interface allows right-click editing of most fields, and will parse TLK String References automatically with the current game's dialog.tlk file.
The only difference in saving is that files are a few KB bigger, due to the program adding in a local string to every StrRef section...

You will need three dlls, which can be found here. These will have to be in the same folder as JRLEditor, OR you can follow the instructions in the DLL link. This will work for all of my tools.
Warning Done.
This simple set of commandline tools will allow you to convert a .tlk file to .txt, with some simple formatting, and back again, with ease.
It will allow you to simply edit a dialog.tlk file with Notepad(or any other text program), which opens up options for copy-and-paste, replace, and finding certain info quickly.
The tool has been confirmed to work with languages other than English, so no worries.

WalkSwitch - Collision Map Editor
By Fair Strides
Warning:
You will need three dlls, which can be found here. These will have to be in the same folder as JRLEditor, OR you can follow the instructions in the DLL link. This will work for all of my tools.
Warning Done.
INTRODUCTION:
=======================================================
Walkmesh Switcher is a KotOR\TSL modding tool
designed to read, display, and edit binary
walkmesh files(in .wok format).
The program will count the number of faces in
the walkmesh, parse the coordinates, and then
draw each face according to the coloring of the
face's walk type.
In essence, this tool will read a binary .wok file (KotOR's collision map data file) and will draw the faces according to the type of surface they're identified with. These colors correspond to the NWMax plugin, for those familiar with KotOR modelling to relate a bit with the program.
An example of a very good use of the tool is for reskinning one of the game's modules. Take the Rakata structures, for instance. Say someone wants to reskin them into a metal fortress, but they keep hearing sand crunch under their feet. With WalkSwitch, you could change the type to metal instead of sand, and the game would then play the proper sounds for the fortress.

DLL Files for Fair Stride's Tools
By Fair Strides
These are the three DLL files my tools use, and rather than re-packaging them each time, I'm making them available here. To use them with my tools, you will have to have them in the same folder as the tool, OR follow these instructions:

GITEdit
By Fair Strides
Warning:
You will need three dlls, which can be found here. These will have to be in the same folder as JRLEditor, OR you can follow the instructions in the DLL link. This will work for all of my tools.
Description:
====================================================================================
This tool is called GITEdit and was created using Perl/TK. It is designed for Knights of
the Old Republic and it's sequel, Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords.
This tool is designed for easily editing the .git file used by these games to
keep track of a level's objects. The .git file keeps lists of variouse objects which
should be spawned every time the module is entered, without conditions.
With GITEdit, you can change the following:
-Cameras
-Creatures
-Doors
-Encounters
-Placeables
-Sounds
-Stores
-Waypoints
For the Encounters and Triggers, you can also:
-Edit the shape of the object's "pressure plate"/"activation zone"
-Edit the number of points that make up the shape
-Edit the number of spawn points(Encounters only)
How To Use GITEdit:
====================================================================================
To begin using GITEdit, you first have to open a .git file.
You can browse for one by using the File Tree in the lefthand-pane, or by using the button.
In regards to the File Tree, you can browse for a .git file from either game,
regardless of whether it's in a .mod or .rim or in the override folder.
Additionally, you can use the two buttons located directly under the tree to add or remove
custom paths to the File Tree. Upon adding a path, GITEdit will scan that path for .mods,
.rims, and .git files and add them to the tree.
When you open the window to add a Custom Path, you can add an identifying label for use in
the File Tree and then the path itself, which you can use the "..." button to select.
When you open a .git file, information about the file's size, save time, and contents
will be added to the File Info box. Also, the contents of each type of object will be
added to their respective sections in the pane on the lower-righthand side.
Upon selecting an item, an interface appropriate to the type is created.

ModHex
By Fair Strides
Description:
====================================================================================
This tool is called ModHex and was created using Perl/TK. It is designed for
Knights of the Old Republic and it's sequel, Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords.
This tool is designed for easily cloning a module/level in such a way that editing it
will not interfere in any way, shape, or form with the original module/level.
ModHex will:
-Rename and hex-edit the .mdl and .mdx files
-Rename the .vis, .lyt, .pth, .git, .are, and .ifo files
-Rename the Textures and Lightmaps
-Rename and allow you to edit the .wok files
-Edit the model and module references in the .lyt, .vis, .are, and .ifo files
-Allow manual editing of the .lyt and .vis files
-Allow you to toggle the inclusion of the original module's/level's files, whether individually or by type
-Allow packing of the files into a .mod module file
-Allow packing of the .mdl and .mdx files into the .mod file
-Allow you to view the module's/level's textures and lightmaps
-Allow you to see what textures and lightmaps each .mdl uses
-Allow you to edit the .are, .ifo, .git, and .pth in K-GFF, GITEditor*, and PTH Editor*
*: For their respective files, of course.
Vocabulary:
====================================================================================
Game Mode: KotOR or KotOR 2
Module Filename: Name of the module's file
Module Reference: The 5-character (if Game Mode is KotOR) or 6-character
(if Game Mode KotOR 2) piece of info used in the model names
Moduel Prefix: The 3-character prefix in the beginning of most of the textures.
Module Name: The name displayed in-game for the area.
The Interface:
====================================================================================
>>Upper-Left
====================================================================================
When you open ModHex, there will be a series of buttons and the choice of Game Mode
in the upper-left.
The Game Mode is used to determine the length of the Module Reference for hex purposes.
The first button is used to select either a .mod or .rim file to represent the module,
and is the one you'll most often use, probably. It will have you select a .mod or .rim
file, extract it's files to a folder named after the file, and then will proceed to load
the level using that folder.
The second and third buttons are the first button's function split into two.
The fourth button allows you to initialize/edit your program paths. These paths can be used
for editing the .are, .git, .ifo, and .pth files. When you click this button, a window will
pop-up with five paths to set/edit:
*K-GFF : The path to your GFF-Editor of choice, though most people use tk102's K-GFF
*GITEdit : My tool for editing the .git files with a more friendly interface
*PTH Editor : Bead-V's rather handy tool for editing the .pth files
*KotOR : The path of your KotOR Installation
*KotOR 2 : The path of your TSL Installation
After you're done editing the paths, the Ok button will close the window.
>>Hex-Edit Boxes
====================================================================================
Going back to the main window, there are two box sections that take up the upper-center
and upper-right of the window.
The first one in the upper-center is where your Module info will be going when you load
a module. the upper section will be the info from the loaded module and the lower four
boxes contain the info that will be used for the hex-editing. Look to the vocabulary section
for their uses.
The first box has a limit of 16 characters.
The second box has a limit of 5 characters for KotOR 1 and 6 characters for KotOR 2.
The third box has a limi of 3 characters.
The fourth box has a limit of 64 characters, but you *really* shouldn't need that many...
The second one in the upper-right is for the actual hexing-process.
The Extraction path is for setting the path for where ModHex extracts a level.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
DO NOT CHANGE THE EXTRACTION PATH IF YOU HAVE LOADED A MODULE AND INTEND TO HEX IT!!!
FROM THE MOMENT YOU LOAD A MODULE/LEVEL, DO NOT CHANGE THAT PATH. IF YOU DO CHANGE THAT
PATH, COPY THE MODULE/LEVEL'S FOLDER TO THAT CURRENT EXTRACTION PATH!!!
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Below the Extraction section are three checkboxes. These affect several things both during
the extraction process and after the hex-editing process.
"Pack module into .mod" -- Packs the newly-cloned module/level into a .mod archive/package
for immediate use in-game.*
"Pack models into .mod" -- Packs the .mdl, .mdx, .wok, and .tga files into the .mod to avoid
cluttering the override folder.
"Use files in Override" -- This is used during the module extraction process. If this is checked
then ModHex will check the Override folder before taking a file from
the .mod/.rim and the game's files.**
*: Don't worry about the .rim extension. If this option is checked, ModHex will ensure there
is a .mod file extension on the finished module's file.
**: IF YOU ARE USING MODHEX ON A CUSTOM MODULE/LEVEL, THIS _MUST_ BE CHECKED!!!
Now the last parts of the Interface.
>>File Viewer
====================================================================================
The file viewer allows you to view and interact with most of the files involved.
The Models page allows you to view a list of models used directly by the module/level.
When you click on a model, you will see the model's filesize, textures, and lightmaps
in the panel on the right.
The Walkmeshes page allows you to view and edit the .wok files. To do so, simply select
a .wok file from the list and click the "Draw .WOK" button.
To edit the walkmesh, click on a polygon (or hold the Control key and drag the mouse
over several polygons) and then click the "See Face Types" to open another window.
Click on the face type you want from the list and the selected faces will be changed.
You can leave this window open for future edits.
The Module Layout page allows you to edit the .lyt and .vis files manually, and also
allows you to open the .are, .git, .ifo, and .pth files in there respective tools, should
you have the paths entered.
The Textures and Lightmaps pages both allow you to view those respective images.
The Area Content page allows you to toggle whether a file is included in the cloned
module's files. You can do this for individual files as well as by filetype.
>>Status Bar
====================================================================================
The last part of the interface is the status bar.
On the bottom of the window, you will see a weird box kind of hiding. This is the
Status bar and is used when extracting a module/level.
It is designed to "pop up" on mouse-over and to "drop down" after the mouse leaves it.
The update to ModHex will expand on it's use...
Known Issues:
====================================================================================
1. The PTH Editor doesn't support the commandline, so it won't open your .pth files.
Instead, you'll have to open those yourself.
2. Occasionally, the Module Prefix isn't set correctly.

RGB-BGR Converter
By Fair Strides
This conversion tool is simply a converter between the standard hexadecimal RGB colour format and the decimal BGR color format.
This BGR format is used in the Fog settings and the Tweak Colour field used in the UTD structs in a .git file (though, the tweak colour might be useable in all of the Type structs...).
