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.

SotOR Save Editor
By StarfishXeno
SotOR: Saves of the Old Republic
A new save editor for KotOR 1 and 2
Warning
SotOR is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural, and generally lacks sanity checks, potentially allowing you to break the save. Also there are bugs, probably.
It creates a zip with the previous version of the save in it's directory, but you may still want to back it up manually.
May or may not work with saves from non-English versions of the game. Use at your own risk.
Differences from KSE
Aims to provide the same features and more. Currently WIP. Runs natively on Windows, Linux and in the browser (experimental, using wasm). Mac version should work, but pre-built releases won't be available here. Uses a built-in game database, allowing it to work wihout the game installed. Still capable of loading provided game files for your modding needs. Provided releases assume KotOR 1 Community patch and KotOR2 TSLRCM. Support for the updated steam version of TSL, including workshop. Does NOT support xbox and switch saves. See "Contributing" section. Contributing
If you encounter a bug or have a suggestion, please open an issue on github.
I would like to add support for the console versions, but I don't own any of them. If you're willing to provide save files and help with testing, please open an issue.
Thanks
Thanks to KSE , NWN Wiki, KotOR.js and xoreos projects for providing references on where and how to get the required game data.

gui Lightweight GUI Patcher
By th3w1zard1
A very simple CLI-based tool that'll take a folder of GUIs made for one resolution and patch them to work for another resolution. Please report any bugs.
Simply input the path to the GUI file (or folder of GUI files) and the output location, your desired resolution, and let it work.
GUI Resizer CLI Tool
Overview
This is a simple command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to adjust and scale GUI (Graphical User Interface) files based on different screen resolutions. The tool reads `.gui` files from the popular game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and adjusts the layout to fit various resolutions and aspect ratios. It supports multiple resolutions and can handle batch processing of files.
Features
Multi-Resolution Support: The tool can adjust GUI files to fit several resolutions across different aspect ratios, such as 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, 5:4, 21:9, 3:2, and 1:1. Batch Processing: You can process multiple GUI files at once, making it easy to adjust a whole directory of files. Logging: Outputs logs to track the processing of files, including which resolutions were processed and where the output files are saved. Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS with Python 3.8+. Usage
Basic Command
To run the tool, use the following command:
python3 gui_resizer.py --input <input-path> --output <output-path> --resolution <resolution> Parameters
--input: The path to the `.gui` file(s) you want to process. You can specify a single file or a directory containing multiple `.gui` files.
--output: The directory where the processed files will be saved.
--resolution: The target resolution(s). Use the format `WIDTHxHEIGHT` (e.g., `1920x1080`). You can also specify `ALL` to process all common resolutions.
Example
To convert all `.gui` files in the directory `input_files/` to fit a 1920x1080 resolution and save them to the `output_files/` directory, run:
python3 gui_resizer.py --input input_files/ --output output_files/ --resolution 1920x1080 Logging
If logging is enabled, a log file named `output.log` will be created in the specified output directory. This file will contain details of the processing operations performed.
How It Works
1. Input Handling: The tool takes in `.gui` files or directories containing these files and reads them using the `pykotor` library.
2. Resolution Scaling: The tool scales the GUI elements based on the specified target resolution(s). It calculates scale factors based on the original dimensions of the GUI and applies these factors to resize elements accordingly.
3. Output Generation: The processed GUI files are then saved to the specified output directory, organized by resolution.

translate Kotor AutoTranslate Tool
By th3w1zard1
Translate an entire mod or KOTOR install to 80 languages using Google Translate!
This is a very powerful tool that can modify TLK strings and CExoLocStrings in GFFs in bulk quickly. Simply follow the prompts, point it to the GFF/TLK/Kotor directory/whatever and have it automatically translated to the language of your choice!
This tool can also create those bitmap 'font packs' that users have been using to play the game in non-released languages (Many thanks to Drazgar and DarthParametric for providing the insight into the TXI files). This means the in game text will show the correct characters when playing the game.
How to use:
Simply run the executable. It'll ask you many things. There are 3 actions you can do with this:
Set all dialog unskippable sets all dialog found in dlgs, at the chosen path, to unskippable. Includes every node. Not recommended lol
Translate Will translate All CExoLocStrings (localized strings) and TLK entries at the path to the language(s) of your choice
Create Fonts Will create fonts of the chosen languages to your current directory in a folder named after the language. Just drag and drop these files to your Override folder once it completes.
If you point PATH1 to a KOTOR install, it will ONLY patch the Override folder, the Modules folder, the rims folder (if exists), and the dialog.tlk file. This was a design choice to improve how long the patcher takes to finish. This includes any subfolders within the aforementioned folder names.
The patched files will be in the same directory as the original files with the appended language suffixed to the end of the file. For example, 'dialog_de.tlk'. You will need to rename them as their original filenames to activate them.
Supported filetypes/formats:
TalkTable files (TLK) Any GFF file (DLG, UTC, etc) TGA/TXI (non-translateable obviously) Any capsule (ERF, MOD, etc)
DBCS languages such as Japanese/Korean/Chinese are not currently supported.
This program is in beta. Please report any bugs you encounter.

KotOR II Switch modding framework
By DrSnuggly
For full details, usage instructions, and bug reports — please use the GitHub project associated with this file.
This project is a group of tools to make modding the Nintendo Switch version of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II (aka. KotOR II) easier, less confusing, and less cumbersome.
With these tools, we can now finally enjoy mods like The Sith Lords: Restored Content Mod (and others) on Nintendo Switch!
These scripts are by no means necessary, but they will help prevent common issues that can occur, especially when dealing with Aspyr's odd file structure in their port, the port's built-in .tpc override files, and the localized folder structure on the Nintendo Switch.
Based on and inspired by jacqylfrost's work! Appreciate your insight as I worked through this.
NOTE: these modding tools will ONLY work for modded Nintendo Switches.

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.

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.

SaberMaker for KotOR and TSL
By lachjames
This is a simple Python utility that lets you create new lightsaber textures for KotOR and TSL. Note that (especially in KotOR) creating a new lightsaber colour requires more steps than this - a future project will make this a one-click process for users, but for now I'm releasing this as a standalone tool for mod developers.
Installation
You should have Python 3 installed. There are no other dependencies. Just download and unzip the zip archive from this page, and you should be good to go!
I'll be releasing a Windows .exe version at some point. If you're not comfortable using the Python script, either wait for that or ask me (or one of the many helpful people on DeadlyStream) to make your lightsaber textures for you.
Usage
Run the script editor.py using Python, with a command like
"python editor.py".
This will open up the editor. You can choose the glow and core colours for the saber texture, and then save it using one of the bottom two buttons. The texture will then be saved in the current directory.
Bugs
There might be some bugs, but it's a pretty simple script and it seems to work fine.
FAQ
The lightsaber looks dark in-game!
For a bright lightsaber, you should select a colour with both Saturation and Brightness parameters set to 100% (in the second tab in the colour picker). Then you can use the Hue slider to choose a colour.
Can I use this for my mod?
Sure, feel free to use the textures for your own mods! I'd appreciate it if you credit this tool for helping create the lightsaber textures.
Can I redistribute this program in its entirety (with or without attribution)?
Please don't redistribute this program elsewhere on the internet. I will keep it here, so you can point people to it.
How do I take this texture and put it straight in the game (not as part of a mod)?
I'm working (along with others on DeadlyStream) to make an "end-user version" of this tool, as part of a larger modding project. Stay tuned!
The lightsaber core looks weird!
You should probably leave the "Core" colour to its default value (pure white) to get lightsabers that look like the ones from the base game. But if you want to experiment, the option to change the core colour is there!

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.

KotorBlender (for Blender 3.3+)
By seedhartha
This add-on is a fork of KotorBlender, upgraded to support newer versions of Blender. KotorBlender is in turn based on NeverBlender, forked from version 1.23a.
## Features
- Import & export MDL models, including walkmeshes
- Import & export LYT files
- Import & export PTH files
## Installation
1. Clone this repository or download the latest release of KotorBlender from Deadly Stream
2. If you have cloned the repository, create a ZIP archive containing the **io_scene_kotor** directory
3. From Edit → Preferences → Add-ons in Blender, install the add-on from the ZIP archive and enable it by ticking a box next to "Import-Export: KotorBlender"
4. Alternatively, if you want to contribute to KotorBlender, you may want to create a symbolic link to the local repository in the Blender add-ons directory, typically located at `C:/Users/{user}/AppData/Roaming/Blender Foundation/Blender/{version}/scripts/addons`.
1. `mklink /D io_scene_kotor {repo}/io_scene_kotor`
## Usage
### Data Preparation
Extract models, textures, walkmeshes, LYT and PTH files into a working directory, using a tool of your choice, e.g. reone toolkit. Recommended directory structure:
- *data* — extract all BIF archives here without subdirectories
- *texturepacks*
- *swpc_tex_tpa* — extract swpc_tex_tpa ERF archive here
If you plan to edit textures, batch-convert TPC to TGA / TXI files using **reone toolkit**, although TPC textures are also supported by KotorBlender.
### Model Import and Export
1. Import via File → Import → KotOR Model (.mdl)
2. Select top-level MDL root object to be exported
3. Export via File → Export → KotOR Model (.mdl)
### Editing Animations
To edit list of model animations and corresponding events, select MDL root object and navigate to Object → KotOR Animations. KotorBlender supports both object and armature-based edits. To create an armature from objects, navigate to KotOR Animations → Armature and press Rebuild Armature and Apply Object Keyframes. Before exporting a model, make sure to copy armature keyframes back to objects by pressing Unapply Object Keyframes.
### Lightmapping
1. Select objects for which you want lightmaps to be recreated, or unselect all objects to recreate all lightmaps
2. Press KotOR → Lightmaps → Bake (auto)
UV mapping:
1. Select objects having the same lightmap texture and enter Edit mode
2. For every object, ensure that `UVMap_lm` UV layer is active
3. Select all faces and unwrap UVs via UV → Lightmap Pack, increase Margin to avoid face overlapping
Fine-tuning:
1. Increase lightmap image size via UV Editing → Image → Resize
2. Tweak ambient color via Scene → World → Surface → Color
3. Manually toggle rendering of objects in Outliner and press KotOR → Lightmaps → Bake (manual)
4. In Scene → Render, set Device to GPU Compute to improve performance, set Render Engine to Cycles if not already
5. In Scene → Render → Sampling → Render increase Max Samples to improve quality
### Minimap Rendering
1. Press KotOR → Minimap → Render (auto)
2. Open "Render Result" image in Image Editor and save it as "lbl_map{modulename}.tga"
3. Open "MinimapCoords" text in Text Editor and copy-paste generated properties into module .ARE file using any GFF editor
Fine-tuning:
1. Tweak background color via Scene → World → Surface → Color
2. Manually toggle rendering of objects in Outliner and press KotOR → Minimap → Render (manual)
### Connecting Rooms
1. Select a room walkmesh
2. Enter Edit mode and select two vertices adjacent to another room
3. Determine 0-based index of the other room into the LYT file
4. Enter Vertex Paint mode and set brush color to (0.0, G, 0.0), where G = (200 + room index) / 255
5. Ensure that brush blending mode is set to Mix, and brush strength is set to 1.0
6. Paint over the selected vertices
### Editing Paths
1. Extract PTH file from the module's RIM file, e.g. "modules/danm13_s.rim" (Kotor Tool, reone toolkit, etc.)
2. Import PTH into Blender via File → Import → KotOR Path (.pth)
3. Create/move path points, or modify path connections via Object Properties
4. Export PTH via File → Export → KotOR Path (.pth)
## Compatibility
Known to work with Blender versions ranging from 3.3 to 4.0.

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.

Old Republic and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.
The editor is divided into two panes. The upper pane contains the treeview
portrayal of the dialog with NPCs speaking in red (Entries) and PC replying in
blue (Replies). Upon highlighting the nodes of the tree, detail widgets appear
in the lower pane containing node-specific information which can be edited.

KOTOR Dialog Editor
By lachjames
This is a visual dialog editor for KOTOR and TSL. It's currently in alpha, so if you're planning to use it for your mods just be aware that there might be (i.e. will be) bugs.
COMPATIBILITY
I am unaware of any compatibility issues with the DLGs created by this editor, but that doesn't mean there aren't any because this is an early alpha release. Please let me know if you experience any issues.
INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Download the ZIP file, and unzip it into a folder (it doesn't create one on its own - I hate it when zips do that ).
2. Copy your "dialog.tlk" into the folder alongside the file "app.exe" - I included the "dialog.tlk" file for KOTOR (as "kotor.tlk"), and for TSL (as "tsl.tlk"), but if you're using any mods which edit "dialog.tlk" for the game you're working on (e.g. using TSLRCM), you'll need to replace it with your own copy. You can find the "dialog.tlk" file in the same folder as the base executable for your KOTOR/TSL installation. If it's for KOTOR 1, rename the copy of "dialog.tlk" you put into your app folder to "kotor.tlk". If it's for TSL, rename your "dialog.tlk" to "tsl.tlk". Don't change the name of dialog.tlk inside your actual KOTOR/TSL installation, as that will break the game. Only change the name of the version you copied into the KotOR Dialog Editor install directory (alongside "app.exe").
34 Run "app.exe"
UNINSTALLATION
Delete all the downloaded files.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
General Usage
- Create a new dialog file (for KOTOR 1) by pressing the "New" button, or open an existing DLG file using "Open"
- Save dialog files using the "Save" button (there's no auto-save, nor does ctrl-s work - I'll make it work eventually)
- Once you open a dialog file, you'll see some panels:
- The top-left panel contains the "actions" list, which is a set of actions you can currently take.
- The bottom-left panel contains "link" information when you select a response which is linked to the current response.
- The top-middle panel contains NPC dialog (entries)
- The bottom-middle panel contains player dialog (replies)
- The right panel contains metadata for the selected response (strref, text, script, etc.)
Some Important Terminology
To understand what the actions do, you'll need to know the following terminology (some of which I made up, so please read this even if you're a pro):
- Response: A line of dialog, spoken either by an NPC or the player (I sometimes call this a "node" too)
- Entry: A line of NPC dialog
- Reply: A line of player dialog
- Start: A possible entry point for the dialog (always points to an entry, never a reply)
- Link: Responses are linked to one another through "links"
- Metadata: The general dialog data (things like the script that should run when the dialog ends, etc,.)
- Selected response: The response which is highlighted in orange - this is preserved when navigating (until you select something else)
- Current response: The response you last navigated into.
- Copied response: The response you last selected "Copy Selected Node" on.
Actions:
The panel in the top-left corner contains a list of actions you can perform to edit your dialog. I'll try to describe the actions as well as I can here, but honestly the best way to learn the software is just to try it out:
- Back To Start: Go back to the start of the dialog you're currently in
- New Response: Create a new response (either an entry or a reply, depending on context)
- Unlink Response: Removes the link between the selected response and the current response
- Copy Selected: Sets the selected response as the copied response
- Paste Into Start: If you have an entry as your copied response, and have selected a start response, it makes the start response point to the copied response
- Paste As Link (Link): Adds a link from the current response to the copied response
- Move Selected Up/Down: Moves the selected response up or down (respectively) by one level in the dialog evaluation order (for player dialog, this changes the order of the dialog lines they can choose from; for NPCs, the first line in the evaluation order whose "Active" script is either blank or returns TRUE is selected as the NPC's line)
- Step Back/Forward: Move back/forwards in your dialog history (so you can easily go in/out of replies without restarting the dialog)
FAQ
I did x and it crashed/broke my DLG/set my PC on fire
Yeah, this is alpha software and I need some people to test it out. Please let me know what broke the software so I can fix it.
I'm clicking responses but nothing's happening
You need to select responses for both the player (the bottom screen) and the NPCs they're talking to (the top screen). If this info doesn't fix your problem, let me know so I can look into it.
I can navigate through the dialog, but how do I edit things?
You left click on dialog lines to navigate through them, or right click on them to "select" them. Once a line is selected, you can edit it in the window to the right, edit the link between it and the current dialog node on the bottom-left panel, or copy it to another node by navigating to that node and pressing "Paste Into Current (Link)".
The navigation seems to work, but I can't see the actual dialog text
Make sure you have the correct "dialog.tlk" file in the same folder as "app.exe". If this doesn't solve the problem, please let me know so I can look into it.
Cool app. Ugly, though...
Yeah, I'm working on it, and I'm open to suggestions for making the UI cleaner/better/easier to use.
DLGEdit's faster to use/better in some other way
This isn't meant to be a replacement for DLGEdit - DLGEdit's power comes from the ease at which you can change an existing DLG into exactly what you want. Although this tool can do that too, it's designed for easily/naturally building DLGs from scratch rather than doing minor edits in existing DLGs, while having to actually run the dialog in KOTOR/TSL as little as possible (to avoid the time it takes to load the games and get to the conversation).
FUTURE FEATURES
- Flow chart view
- Animation selection
- More testing, bug fixes, etc.
KNOWN ISSUES
- If you create a link from node A to node B, and node A already has a link to node B, the dialog editor doesn't know which one you want to select when you right click and does weird things (e.g. always selecting the bottom-most copy, even when you right click on another copy). Will fix this asap.

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.

SithCodec
By JCarter426
Introduction
The audio files of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords (KOTOR) contain extra headers of what seem to be superfluous data that obfuscate access to the original audio outside of the video games. Most audio software will refuse to open the files, or interpret the extra bytes as audio data, leading to glitches. It has also been observed anecdotally that files lacking an appropriate header may fail to playback in certain releases of the games.
SithCodec is an application that can automatically detect and remove an extraneous header from a KOTOR audio file, or alternatively prepend a KOTOR header to a standard audio file and allow for the introduction of new audio content to these games.
Running SithCodec
SithCodec requires Windows (32-bit or 64-bit). Make sure to extract SithCodec to a folder where you have read & write permission. The code is not signed (because code signing costs an extortionate amount of money) so your firewall may warn you about running an unrecognized application. Commands
Commands in SithCodec are executed by combining keywords into certain command sequences that the application recognizes. Input may be passed as command-line arguments when SithCodec is launched, or entered manually through a command- line interface if the application is launched without any command-line arguments.
Keywords may be entered in short form (dash followed by a single letter) or long form (double dash followed by a full word).
SithCodec keywords are not case sensitive, but—depending on your operating system—other data that you input may be, such as the names of files.
Help Screen
Entering -h or --help will display the help screen, showing a list of all keywords and their function.

-d -i=file.wav List all files & formats in a given directory, printing to the console:
-l -i=my_folder List all files & formats in the current directory, printing to a file:
-l -o=file.txt Batch Files
SithCodec comes with batch files that are set up with commands for some common operations.
decode.bat
This file will decode all files located in a folder called "in" (no matter what their format) and save the new files in a folder called "decoded".
encode_music.bat
This file will encode all files located in a folder called "in" and save the new files in a folder called "music".
encode_sfx.bat
This file will encode all files located in a folder called "in" and save the new files in a folder called "sfx".
encode_vo.bat
This file will encode all files located in a folder called "in" and save the new files in a folder called "vo".

JdNoa's AniCam (Beta 3)
By JumpStationZ
Part of the...
AniCam
Author: JdNoa - [contact info in read-me]
Notes on dlg fields compiled from observations by Tupac Amaru, Dashus, and JdNoa.
Tupac Amaru did most of the testing for this. Thanks!
Thanks also to tk102 for updating DlgEditor for us & Darth333 for passing it along quickly. It made testing *much* less painful.
Thanks to several people for their notes/code about the mdl format: Torlack for notes on binary mdl and for NWNMdlComp, sorcerer for notes on ascii mdl, and cchargin for MDLOps.
---------------
Version
---------------
Beta 3 - Dec 1 2005
History: beta 3 should fix the bug where cubic interpolation treats angles as numbers and so interpolates the wrong way across the 360 degree mark.
---------------
Description.
---------------
AniCam is an internal tool used by TSLRP (The Sith Lords Restoration Project). It is being released to the public "as is". There is no warranty, implicit or explicit, of any kind.
AniCam is an animated camera editor for KotOR 2.
Animated cameras are just models in a specific format. AniCam lets you open & edit existing camera models or create your own. You can then use the animated camera model in a .dlg.
---------------
Installation
---------------
Requirements:
JRE 1.5 or newer. (Developed with 1.5.0.04).
AniCam will not run with JRE 1.4.
Simply extract this zip to your preferred install location and run the jar file, AniCam.jar.
---------------
Uninstallation
---------------
Delete the files that came in the .zip, plus the configuration file anicam.conf (if it was created).
---------------
1. How to use AniCam:
---------------
--- 1a. Basics:
Fill in your desired camera name and the length in seconds of the camera shot.
Add entries for your camera. An entry needs the time in seconds, position as x,y,z, and orientation as h,p,r. (heading, pitch, roll).
To add an entry, select "insert row" from the Edit menu or type ctrl-i.
Orientation is done in degrees. Straight ahead is (0,90,0). Left is (90,90,0). Right is (-90,90,0). And so on.
If you're getting position from WhereAmI, keep in mind that the Z location given is lower than what you see (I think it's the location of your feet). You probably want to add 3 or 4 to get a shot at eye level.
When you have all of your entries, select save from the file menu. The files cameraname.mdl and cameraname.mdx (which is an empty file) will be created. These can go in your override folder.
To use the new model, set the camera model field in a dialog, then in the dialog entry/entries that will have the camera shot, set the CameraID to -1, use CameraAngle 4, and set CameraAnimation to a useful number (probably 1200 or 1000: see part 2 for details).
An example:
Entry Time x y z h p r
1 0.0 -70 20 3.5 0 90 0
2 3.5 -70 30 3.5 70 90 0
3 4.5 -70 31.5 3.5 50 45 0
4 6.5 -72 31.5 3.0 30 0 0
with animation length 7.5.
This will (1) start looking straight ahead,
(1)->(2) move along the y axis and rotate left,
(2)->(3) rotate right and down while moving a little more along the y axis,
(3)->(4) rotate right and point straight down while moving a little along the x axis,
then (4) hold position for 1 second.
-- 1b. Interpolation:
If interpolation is selected, then when you save, extra intermediate entries will be generated to smooth out changes in position and orientation. So, if your entries have the camera going straight forward, and then moving left, instead of an abrupt transition from forward to left, the camera will move in a curve.
If interpolation is not selected, what you entered is what you get. Sudden changes in direction will be abrupt.
-- 1c. Importing:
You can import from a binary model, an ascii model, or xml.
For both binary and ascii models, I'm only looking for the data found in the standard animated camera models. This means that there is a single node, called camerahook, with animations called CUT###W (where ### is a number, usually 001), which has positions and orientations. The import routines can't handle anything else - no mesh nodes, no emitters, etc.
(Note that, if you're looking at the original camera models, importing 003EBOcam.mdl will fail because they misspelled "camerahook" - the camera won't work in-game, either.)
The XML import is *very* limited and has pretty much no error checking. It was set up to import data from Excel. If you enter your time, position, and orientation in Excel - like on the main screen for AniCam, but without the "entry" field - and then save as XML, you should be able to import into AniCam.
---------------
2. Indices, Multiple Animations, and your Dialog
---------------
-- 2a. Multiple Animations and their Indices
One camera model can have multiple animations. As a .dlg file can only have one associated camera model, this lets you do multiple animated camera shots in one dialog. (An example: kreiatch.dlg in 301NAR uses 2 of the 3 animations from 301narcam).
Each animation has a name of the form CUT###W, where ### is a 3-digit number. The number should be 001 or greater. If there is only one animation, usually the single animation is called CUT001W. This is not required (101percam uses CUT002W).
When you add an animation to your camera model, the ### is what you're putting in the "New Index" box - so if you enter 5 and click New Animation, you'll get a new animation called CUT005W.
-- 2b. Some general notes on using animated shots
1. Once you start an animated camera shot running, it *keeps* running, in real-time, even if you've switched to static shots. If you do 'start animation'->static shot->'continue animation', the second animated shot will probably be at a different position/orientation if the user clicked to skip one of the earlier nodes in your dialog, or if they had to choose a response.
2. Only one animation will run at a time. If you 'start animation' with CUT001W, then 'start animation' with CUT002W, then 'start animation' CUT001W again, the final call will start back at the beginning of CUT001W's camera shot... it won't pick up where it left off the first time. And if you do 'start animation' CUT001W -> 'start animation' cut002W -> 'continue animation' cut001W, the 'continue animation' will continue with cut002w, not cut001w. Once you start a given animation running, it's the only one you can use until you start another one.
-- 2c. Your .dlg file:
Useful fields are Camera Model in your dlg header, and CameraID, CameraAngle, CameraAnimation, Delay, and WaitFlags in your entries.
-- 2c.1 Camera Model
In the dialog header ("General Properties" in DLGEditor), set the Camera Model to your new camera's name.
-- 2c.2 CameraID and CameraAngle
Every node that is animated uses CameraID -1 and CameraAngle 4.
(Although all the Obsidian .dlg's use CameraAngle 4, other CameraAngle values will also work.)
-- 2c.3 CameraAnimation
You also need a CameraAnimation field in each entry using an animated camera shot.
CameraAnimation is where you specify which animation to use if you have multiple animations.
'start animation' is 1200, 1201, etc.
To start CUT001W running, use CameraAnimation 1200. To start CUT002W, CameraAnimation 1201. And so on.
'continue animation' is 1000. Or 1001, 1002, but...
...in the official .dlg's, at the very least, 1000, 1001, 1002, and 1401 are used - but testing doesn't show any difference in using them. If you start with 1200, then call 1001, it's not going to jump to the other animation. If anybody sees a difference between these, please let me know!
-- 2c.3a Start/Continue and the end of the animation
Your animated shot is 20 seconds long, but you gave the user a choice of responses in between animated shots, and they took 30 seconds to pick a line. What do animated .dlg entries do after the end of the animation?
If the entry is set to 'continue animation', it will hold the last position/orientation from the animation.
If the entry is set to 'start animation', it will re-start the animation. You could probably do some looping with this.
If you reach a 'start animation' entry and the current animation hasn't finished, the behaviour depends on which animation you specify. If it's the same one that's already running, it won't restart - it'll continue, acting like a 'continue animation' entry.
-- 2c.4 WaitFlags
If you set WaitFlags to 1 and use 'start animation', the entire camera shot (or the remaining portion) will be used in one entry. This won't work if you use 'continue animation'.
If you leave WaitFlags at 0, the camera shot will run for as long as the entry does, so you can either have VO or set the Delay field.
(WaitFlags = 3 is used in kreiatch.dlg, but I've seen no difference between WaitFlags=3 and WaitFlags=0 in my testing).
Setting WaitFlags doesn't block the user from skipping the entry.
-- 2c.5 Delay
If WaitFlags is not 1, the animated shot in your entry will last as long as the VO lasts, or for the length of your Delay field if it's set. If there's no VO, like the long animated shot of the ruined Dantooine enclave, then you'll want to set Delay to specify how long your camera shot lasts. Delay is set in seconds. Note that if you set Delay=0, it seems to override your VO length, so it may skip lines. If you're not using Delay it should be -1, not 0.
-- 2c.6 CamVidEffect doesn't work
CamVidEffect will *not* be applied to animated camera shots, but you can use a script to turn video effects on and off. Check out the first two nodes in intro.dlg in 001EBO: they call a_video_effect to turn T3M4's freelook on and off. (Notice that the developers tried to use CamVidEffect!) The a_video_effect script simply calls EnableVideoEffect(VIDEO_EFFECT_FREELOOK_T3M4) or DisableVideoEffect(). Don't forget to disable your video effect, or it will stay on forever.
---------------
3. Some examples from the original files:
---------------
These are a few places where camera models are used in different ways:
kreia_kr.dlg in 701KOR has a camera shot that spans several entries. Under "{Intro to 701KOR...", it starts at "{Animated camera begins}" and ends at "{Angry at end...".
kreiatch.dlg in 301NAR has an animated camera that plays intermittently. It has animated angles followed by static angles followed by animated angles. It also uses two different animations, CUT001W and CUT003W.
enc_ruin.dlg in 605DAN consists of one long animated shot.

JRL Merger by Stoffe
By jc2
Author: Stoffe
(Original lucasforums post)
I've put together a small utility that saves some time while combining the global.jrl files of different mods that use this file but don't come with a mod installer.
It will currently take two global.jrl (Quest Journal) files and merge together any changes to existing Category fields in them, along with any new Category fields that have been added in either file. It will not handle any fields having been deleted from the standard global.jrl file, but I can't see any reason why anyone would want to do that.
It will also check the resulting merged file and warn you if multiple Categories have the same tag (which could happen if both mods use similar tags for new journal entries).
You can get it here if you want it. Be warned that this is a test/beta version for now, it worked fine with a number of different modded global.jrl files I tested it with, but there may still be problems I haven't been able to spot yet. If you run into any problems using it please let me know so I can attempt to fix them.
It will need an unaltered copy of global.jrl in addition to the two modded files that should be merged, to be used to compare against. This file can be extracted from the dialogs.bif file with KotorTool.

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).

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.

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.

End of Line Converter
I recently discovered that KOTOR doesn't handle non-Windows EOLs. Issues can range from envmaps not working to the game crashing.
This is a simple batch file that when dropped into your Override folder will convert the line endings on all of your .txi, .vis, and .lyt files.
