Took a brief look at the descriptions of those two and they sound like what I need, thank you. I'll look into them
To clarify, I already found the original game's .dlg file and exported it to work on via KotorTool, and I found a separate atton.dlg in the overrides folder from one of my mods I've installed (I also edited the existing overrides .dlg successfully). I'll check TSLRCM to see if it's the source of the atton.dlg in overrides.
If I can get the aforementioned tools to cooperate, I'll put up a mod page somewhere, probably on this site. Atton not doing some amount of unarmed combat (especially with restored content of Handmaiden testing his skills) has bothered me for years, lol. If I'm still feeling it I'll take a crack at giving him full-on unarmed specialist that kicks in once you ask Atton how to kill Jedi, I have half an idea of how the code for that will work.
