Is there a link where we can download the eXtensive Dialog Overhaul .tlk file? I'm very interested in the dialog fixes you've all been talking about. Thanks.

Hi! I play both Kotor games on my MacBook and I am able to install mods that use tslpatcher with ease, using winebottler, despite being terrible with computers, and relatively new to my MacBook. I can pm you how I do my whole process (in depth plus screenshots) for using tslpatcher if you like because it took me a lot of figuring out and research to be able to get it right, and I'd be happy to help and explain for someone else, and it sucks that you would have to miss out on some amazing mods that use the tslpatcher. I'd be happy to do this for anyone else as well, who has issues using tslpatcher mods on Mac. I do however only use the steam workshop version of TSLRCM. Everything else I drop into steam workshop's tslrcm override folder. I'm not sure if having multiple steam workshop installs is the issue with tlspatcher not working - I could imagine though that it is an issue, that the patcher has to sort through multiple override folders. And I'm soon going to do a clean reinstall of my Kotor 2, to use the installer version of tslrcm, just to be safe with mods I download using tslpatcher (though I have downloaded and tested tslpatcher mods using my current mod setup so I know as long as you have only one workshop override it definitely works).

Hey real late to the party but I also play KOTOR 2 on mac and have a ton of mods downloaded both through workshop and downloaded off of deadlystream, nexus, and gamefront. Using a wineskin has always been a big hassle and buggy for me (Especially since I'm terrible with computers in general), so mods that use TSL Patcher are out of the question, which sucks because there are some phenomenal mod authors who use that program for their mods. In regards to download mods off the internet, you want simpler mods that can be dropped right in your game's override folder. That means armors, reskins, weapons, and head SKINS (Nothing that really adds any models or adds new heads generally) should all be good. More complicated mods that run scripts in game can be a real issue or downright impossible without a wineskin on MAC, so your options are limited sadly. That being said, I am an newbie at best so I'm speaking from personal experience exclusively and not from a seat of knowledge or modding experience. If you have any questions PM me and I can send you my mods list that I have downloaded and hopefully help you out!

TSLParcher does not alter the original dialog.tlk file, or any other files from Kotor like .2da, etc. for that matter. It actually drops modified copies of the files it alters into the override folder, leaving the original files intact. If it modifies the dialog.tlk file it finds in your Kotor folder on spot, or it just installs a pre-modified version of the file made by the modder, i do not know so far. My described method is far from perfect, as mods that alter the same file would just overwrite eachother's files, and that could cause trouble... That is what TSLPatcher is used for after all, to prevent mod conflicts by just injecting modded parameters in copies of the game's .2da, tlk and other files insted of copying the whole file over and over for each mod.
