Canderis Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Hi everyone! Feels good to be posting a new WIP after so long. But this is a bit different. Over the past 8 months, though much more in the past couple weeks than before, I have been working on this new tool. I had gotten the urge to mod over the summer, but as I am now a mac user I couldn't really do that without some really hacky work-arounds. So I decided I should just make my own modding tool that'll work on mac. But why stop there? Linux needs some love too. RevanEditor will work on all platforms! Mac, Windows, or Linux! Currently, the program is a full Bif file extractor. With that groundwork out of the way, it is time to start putting in other features and building editors. I want to release something very soon. I'm thinking of including Erf extraction, a 2da editor, and a gff editor for the initial release. Following that, I'd like to open it up for community suggestions of what features I should prioritize. I'd also like some volunteers to help me out with testing this on other machines. I'd also like to give a shout out to FairStrides and ndix UR for helping me out a ton with this project. Without them, this project would not be nearing a release anytime soon. And if you'd like to follow my progress, it is all on my GitHub! 13 Quote
VarsityPuppet Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Nicely done, my friend! LET THE TOOL RACES BEGIN Quote

jc2 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Even those personally, I won't have any use for this, I will still look forward to its release! Best of luck finishing it! Quote
Fair Strides Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 @VarsityPuppet: Oh, is this a race? I'd better hurry up and re-install my programming stuff if I want to get back to work... 2 Quote

Canderis Posted February 13, 2018 Author Posted February 13, 2018 Erf extraction is finished! 2 Quote
N-DReW25 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 How will this differ from normal Kotor Tool? Besides Mac and Linix compatibility Quote
JCarter426 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Like VP said, the more tools the better. We just got KOTORMax, MDLEdit, and an MDLOps, and now this year there's a whole line of new tools in the works for other areas that were in need of updates. It's nice that the community is still so active even after 15 years. And a Linux version would be most welcome. I run Mint on my laptop, and seriously the only reason I ever boot into Windows is if I need to run KOTOR Tool. Either that or I overcome my laziness and go to my desktop. So with a KOTOR Tool replacement, even just being able to look at the files would further enable my laziness. Quote
Canderis Posted February 15, 2018 Author Posted February 15, 2018 How will this differ from normal Kotor Tool? Besides Mac and Linix compatibility Well first, it will have a more modern UI. I'm wanting to keep it similar to KotorTool for now to try and ease the transition and to keep most old tutorials somewhat applicable. As for any other differences, you'll just have to wait and see! I have a lot of plans. 1 Quote
ChaosRonin Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 As Linux user this would be a godsend. Kotor Tool doesnt run correctly under wine for me so I am running between my mothers Laptop which is running Win7 and my Arch PC trying to make sure all the little details are correct, was a pain. Thankfully the TSL Patcher ran just fine but the more cross platfrom tools we have the better I say! Good luck and happy developing! Quote
Canderis Posted February 20, 2018 Author Posted February 20, 2018 *REMOVED OLD FILES* This is the very first alpha build. I'd like to make sure it works on Windows/Linux. The build contains full BIF and ERF extraction. Let me know if you have any questions or experience any issues! Quote
Hunters Run Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Hey, I ran it and I may have a slight issue with the ui: As you can see there are boxes that I don't think should be there. Otherwise, quick tests show that everything works so far. Good job! Quote

Otherwise, quick tests show that everything works so far. Good job! Thanks for checking it out! Which OS are you on? UPDATE: This might have fixed the issue. Also added an icon. *REMOVED OLD FILES* Quote
Hunters Run Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 That fixed it thank you. also win 10 64 bit if it helps. Quote
Canderis Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 That fixed it thank you. also win 10 64 bit if it helps. Sweet. I'm glad I could fix that nice and quick! 1 Quote
Canderis Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 Updated version. Fixed a bug with at least the GOG version. Thanks to VP for finding this one! Revan Editor Setup 0.0.1-b.exe.zip Revan Editor-0.0.1-b-mac.zip RevanEditor-0.0.1-b-x86_64.AppImage.zip Quote
ChaosRonin Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Im getting an empty screen after selecting the path for kotor 2 doesn't show any of the files, just the path and export button. Im on Arch Linux. Quote

Hunters Run Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Just popping in to say everything exports as it should(except for textures, but I assume that is on the to do list). I do have a feature request: That whatever you select to export would get highlighted. 2 Quote

I do have a feature request: That whatever you select to export would get highlighted. ndix UR has been working on a TPC conversion library for me. I should be implementing it soon. Thanks for the feedback! A lot is on hold right now as I spend time time learning a bit more about the technology stack I'm using. The UI is at a point where to continue I need to make some major changes I'm not quite ready to do. Good news is once I've done those I can quickly start implementing actual editing capabilities and not just extraction. I've also been researching how I need to go about properly logging errors so I can debug issues you all find. (Like ChaosRonin's issues) I don't have an ETA on a new update but it shouldn't be too much longer. 1 Quote
A Future Pilot Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 I'd like to volunteer as a tester if you still need one Quote
N-DReW25 Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Are you currently developing the option for modders to modify/export module files like utcs and gits for example? Quote
