  1. TLK->Text Converter(Vice-Versa) View File 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. 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. Submitter Fair Strides Submitted 10/07/2014 Category Modding Tools  
  2. File Name: JRLEdit - Journal Editing Tool File Submitter: Fair Strides File Submitted: 07 Oct 2014 File Category: Modding Tools 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... Click here to download this file
  3. It should have brought up a black box for a split second and then made you a new .ini, so have you tried running KSE again?
  4. Double-click it, or click on it and hit the enter key on your keyboard.
  5. In that case, please use the -2ini.bat file to generate a new .ini file and try KSE again.
  6. That's the text you see when you open the KSE.ini in Notepad? I need to know that before I can help.
  7. It's a texture mod, so it should be quite safe.
  8. You should have a KSE.ini file in the folder where you run KSE from. Can you post it's contents?
  9. No. 3.3.5 is old enough that it was before the viruses.
  10. Hi, fellow Star Wars fans and enthusiasts. I'm the current maintainer of KSE, the KotOR Save Editor. As most of you who use this tool know, the 3.3.6 version I got out was rushed and highly buggy, and for that I have already and continue to apologize for... Then there was the 3.3.7 version that came out quite recently, amid reports of virus scanners detecting both 3.3.6 and 3.3.7 as carrying viruses. Menirz (the Steam Workshop manager for KSE), Chev Chelios (the maintainer of KPF, the KotOR Path Finder utility used by KSE as of 3.3.7), and I all assured you that these were false positives and that there was nothing in the program that could harm your computers. We were wrong, and more importantly, I was wrong. Menirz and Chev trusted my word that everything was okay, and having had no issues on their computers, they took me at my word, which I now regret... You see, I recently discovered several viruses hidden on my system, some of them buried quite deeply as it turned out. I was tipped off to these by an annoying browser adware called "Ads by Name". This would not show up in my installed programs nor in my browsers' addon list, so I couldn't remove it using conventional methods. I then proceeded to run the following software: Adware Cleaner TDSSKiller RKill Malware Bytes Hitman Pro A Pro form of my Antivirus software, Advanced System Care from IoBit I also cleaned my registry, Scheduled Tasks, Temp files, and a lot of my appdata. In the end, I had to uninstall my browsers and delete all of my local data (so everything but my bookmarks) and wipe that from my system to get the Ads by Name removed from my computer. In the process of running all of this software, other suspicious files and two pieces of malware were removed from my system... When I talked with a good friend later, she asked if I'd recompiled KSE and scanned it now that my system was virus free. I told her that I hadn't even thought about it, since 3.3.6 had been flagged from an online scan and then at several points during development, 3.3.7 had shown up as flagged and not flagged, so its health was debatable. I re-compiled KSE and then proceeded to scan the .exe online with virustotal.com. Here are the results: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/799224ccf99cb201ff860e1032d5969dac99fb517d38540a78e4d1a432553359/analysis/1442555614/ I deeply regret insisting that the virus reports were false positives, and I can't apologize enough to everyone who has downloaded KSE 3.3.7 over the past month. I have sent Menirz a link to the fixed and virus-free version of KSE, what will be known as 3.3.7a, and I had the version hosted here on Deadlystream updated earlier today. I will be contacting Pazuzu soon to see if he's heard the news and in short order, the auto-updater will have the fixed version. To any of you who are concerned for the safety of your systems, I can only recommend deleting KSE from your systems (including the recycle bin or junk folder), re-downloading it, and then scanning your system with the above software... Once again, I am so sorry for this, and I ask that you please believe me when I say that I will not let this happen again... Please note that no other Deadly Stream hosted files/mods were affected by this and that the Deadlystream Site itself remains secure.
  11. I just tried to download it and it succeeded. Could you try again and if that fails, try these: 1. Empty your cookies and retry. 2. Restart your browser. 3. Restart your computer.

  12. This issue can occur occasionally, but restarting the browser/your computer should fix the issue. Short of that, try clearing your cookies in your browser.
  13. 1. What mods? (with links) 2. What's changed on your system? 3. Graphics card model? Drivers version? 4. DisableVertexBuffer setting in the .ini? It really helps people to help you if you give them more info than "It doesn't work." And we've asked you plenty of times to list your mods, so please do so from now on when you're posting about a problem with either game.
  14. I imagine it would still be in the 1.3 version, since that was released almost five years ago... As it is, this thread was dead for the past four.
  15. Well of course changing the name won't do anything for the texture. What is your TGA named and is it in the Override folder? http://www.mediafire.com/download/pg4edgsro8tn4io/ModdingTools.7z
  16. Try changing the texture variation or body variation, which you might need K-GFF to edit. I think the texture variation is for the icon and the body variation for the number on the end of the actual item's texture.
  17. Somebody on Steam had this issue and they somehow added an exception or whatever to Bit Defender.
  18. Somehow, I think that'd be appreciated more when it's posted in Jorak's own thread where all this ME->KotOR stuff is occurring... And they're both high-tech with the flashy lights, so it's not much of stretch...
  19. Yes, I've been thinking of a mod that changes them to Sith Assassins...
  20. A good place to start: 1. Open the item's .uti file and note the baseitem type (if KT) or row number (if any other tool, like K-GFF) as well as the model variation. 2. Open baseitems.2da and find your row. 3. Note the defaultmodel value. 4. In your head, change the number at the end (just the last digit if the model variation is below 10, or just the last two if it's over 10) with the model variation from your item. 5. Try to find the model in KT (in K1, try the items.bif->Models section first; K2, the models.bif) and double-click it to decompile it. 6. Navigate to where you extracted and decompiled it and you will see the textures that model uses.
  21. A bit late, but updated mods aren't shown on the main page... KSE 3.3.7 is out!

      Yes. Some AVs don't like it, but it's just a simple Par::Packer install. All I know is that it IS clean and safe.

      The only one that says no that I'm familiar with is BitDefender. I swear I'd never purposefully give someone a virus.

      Just to be on the safe side, you *have* scanned your system, right?

      But of course, it is the only one of your tools that is triggering the alarm, so it's probably something in te new features of the KSE that matches the "suspicious behaviour" pattern.
