Mkilbride 1 Posted June 15, 2014 Do I really have to install EACH one with the TSLpatcher? There's like 35. Each time I have to find the install directory. Is there no "Install All" button?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPhil 58 Posted June 15, 2014 Yes, each one manually. And no install all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mkilbride 1 Posted June 15, 2014 ...Why... That's like 15+ minutes of straight clicking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hassat Hunter 571 Posted June 16, 2014 Probably the same reason my "Sith Soldiers to Sith Assassins" is a 2-parter... a lot of clone-filenames. And TSLPatcher isn't suited for installing from multiple folders simultaniously AFAIK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPhil 58 Posted June 16, 2014 And because part of the mod may clash with other mods. And part of the mod may still not be working correctly, as far as I know, regarding a particular Nar Shadaa sector I spoke about earlier in that thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kainzorus Prime 205 Posted June 16, 2014 Be happy I've included the option to automatically look up TSL's install folder, instead of having you choose it with each setup. That aside, who do you take me for? Don't you think if there was a way to make a unified install for this, I wouldn't have tried to do it? Ungrateful sods all around, I swear. Can't even be bothered to make a minimal effort for their own benefit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VarsityPuppet 1,085 Posted June 16, 2014 If I recall, there might be a way to pull it off, although it's not documented. I did it once for a mod that modifies the same file in all of the rim files in the game. This information came from the creator of the TSLPatcher.

Kainzorus Prime 205 Posted June 16, 2014 But the problem is, the files here would have the same name, but very different properties. Mostly talking about utcs. This is the primary reason for this form of setup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hassat Hunter 571 Posted June 16, 2014 Ungrateful sods all around, I swear. Can't even be bothered to make a minimal effort for their own benefit.Welcome to my world to the past few years. And yes, TSLPatcher *can* install the same (named) file in different locations. But if you want, as Kain stated, different files with the same name, that doesn't work. It would be the same as placing a file in override... you pretty much break your game if you meet the similar file-named NPC in the other area breaks, and you get stuck... EDIT: Well, if you find a way VP do share it here and on LucasForums... it could help a LOT of us. I could for example simplify my Sith Assassin mod... that's only a 2-parter, sure, but still. Or the still planned but no idea when I will ever work on it "less HP HK's in HK-Factory" for all the complainers :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VarsityPuppet 1,085 Posted June 16, 2014 [module202.ifo] //The name of a GFF in the tslpatchdata directory you're using as a base !SourceFile=module.ifo //I think this is the name of the source file in the mod/rim you're grabbing !SaveAs=module.ifo //Saving it as this filename !Destination=Modules\202TEL.mod //In this mod/rim The only I guess... detail being that you'd have to rename your GFF files so they don't conflict with other file names in the tslpatchdata directory. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't even be bothered to make a minimal effort for their own benefit. It never auto-searched for the install folder. I had to search EVERY time. This took a lot of time, and effort. Not ungrateful, but when you install a bunch of mods that are drag and drop, then get to the last one, which seems a simple one, and have to click once to open, once to get to the install screen, then click 2-3 times to the folder, then click 1 more time to get it to install, THEN hit X. Repeat this 50 times? Yeah, it gets annoying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Repeat this 50 times? Yeah, it gets annoying. With all due respect, there isn't really a better way to do it, especially with how the game is laid out and the naming conventions. Hopefully the code I posted proves useful in the future so we can avoid issues like this. On the other hand, before TSLPatcher, you would have had to install it manually, which I guarantee would up your click count by about 10x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hassat Hunter 571 Posted June 17, 2014 GFF, but what about .UTC? And if you had to manually pick a location you probably have no registry entry. Steam? You could have added it, then it would have used that, and your life would have been easier (and you can use KSE and stuff)... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mkilbride 1 Posted June 17, 2014 I have the Steam version, yes. UTC? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kainzorus Prime 205 Posted June 18, 2014 It does look up the install folder, I checked. Must be the fact you have steam version, I'm still running the original 4 CD one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mkilbride 1 Posted June 18, 2014 Guess it doesn't work with the Steam then. Maybe update it if you can? I mean, it's just kinda annoying, I can't even recommend it to my other friends with the Steam version. It takes over 700 clicks to install it...it's tedious and boring and easy to forget your place unless you put a checkmark next to them in note-pad. For steam users, it just becomes an immense chore.

MrPhil 58 Posted June 18, 2014 Well, Hassat said all you had to do was add a registry entry. If someone knows how to do that, it would fix your issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fair Strides 509 Posted June 19, 2014 Well, Hassat said all you had to do was add a registry entry. If someone knows how to do that, it would fix your issue. This right here should help him/her. A note to the OP: Even though it says Kotor Tool, TSLPatcher and KT use the same registry entry. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Traveller 5 Posted June 21, 2014 http://deadlystream.com/forum/topic/2455-kotor-tool-kotor-2-on-steam/?do=findComment&comment=24477 It's the same information provided upthread, but I also include a .reg file for merging into the Windows registry. This simplifies things since it isn't necessary to drill down to the right place via the registry editor and add the entires manually. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fair Strides 509 Posted June 21, 2014 As well as KSE... Seeing as I updated KSE to 3.3.4 myself... Yeah, I should've remembered that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
