HELP! with Kotor Collection & Kotor Tool

[Jorak Uln 458]

I've bought the Kotor Collection today - mainly to mod Kotor 1;) but Kotor Tool refuses to recognize its root installation path.

 

After searching i stumbled across this thread:

http://deadlystream.com/forum/topic/2455-kotor-tool-kotor-2-on-steam/

which sounds good but is only for Kotor 2.

 

So could anyone describe exactly what I must do to get Kotor 1 to work?

I'd be glad for any suggestions.

But you'll obviously have to change the path you enter in the last step to the one where your kotor collection is installed.

I put the solution in the general modding section, although I specified Steam, it does work for the collection as well. Keep in mind it also works for the save game editior, since it needs the path of the game to recognize the save files you have for each game.

And my tools as well, since they use the Paths to find the dialog.tlk files to parse the text...

You guys are life insurance in terms of Kotor modding. Thanks very much!

I have to re-open this thread since i reinstalled Windows and could only find solutions for steam and Kotor 2.

 

I have the Kotor Collection and want to setup Kotor Tool for Kotor 1.

What do i have to write into the registry to get it working?

 

my install path is:

 

D:\Spiele\Star Wars® Knights of the Old Republic® COLLECTION

 

Thanks for any help on that!

Just paste one of these (depending on your version of Windows) into a text file, edit the game install location as appropriate, save as a .REG file and double click, saying yes to add to the registry. Make sure you keep the double slashes between folders in the Path line.

 

For 32bit Windows:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BioWare\SW\KOTOR]
"Path"="F:\\Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic\\K1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LucasArts\KotOR2]
"Path"="F:\\Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic\\TSL"

For 64bit Windows:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BioWare\SW\KOTOR]
"Path"="F:\\Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic\\K1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\LucasArts\KotOR2]
"Path"="F:\\Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic\\TSL"

Thanks!

So  for K1 my install path is D:\Spiele\Star Wars® Knights of the Old Republic® COLLECTION

 

Now do i have to write

A)   "Path"="D:\\ Star Wars® Knights of the Old Republic® COLLECTION

or

B )  "Path"="D:\\Spiele\\Star Wars® Knights of the Old Republic® COLLECTION

 

Also which version of the registry editor do i have to enter (my Windows is 7 x64)?

Assuming that is the directory where the EXE/TLK is, you want:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BioWare\SW\KOTOR]
"Path"="D:\\Spiele\\Star Wars® Knights of the Old Republic® COLLECTION"
