Help Editing appearance.2da in Override folder

[tgritzmodder]

Hello all,

 

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I've been trying to edit the appearance.2da file in my kotor modding tool. I understand that the appearance.2da file that is in the bifs 2da path is just the base one and not the override one. But, when I check the box for looking in the overrides in Tools>Options, I don't see the "Override" section in the tree that I was expecting to find. Did I miss a step? If anything needs clarifying let me know. Any help would be appreciated!

The Look In Override option just has it parse 2DAs in the Override whenever a 2DA is used in a template like a UTI, UTC, etc. It won't show up in the main asset browser. You'll have to open it manually via the 2DA editor (1st button under the top menu row).

But KTool is old and creaky and not recommended to be used any more. There are multiple alternatives these days, including a new 2DA editor that was literally just released in the last 24 hours.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try the new tool and see how it goes. Long story short some of the Yavin Planet mod's models (specifically the 'wraiths' and 'ghost terentateks') are missing their textures, probably as a result of conflicts with other mods like Sleheyron. The Iridorian armor colors are also mismatched (and the blue one just turns you into a republic soldier model). I'm trying to see if I can fix those models/textures somehow.

 

Thanks again!
