Achilles Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Fred, Is there any way that you could add a "droppable" check box to the Set custom item ResRef pop-up in the utc inventory window? This would save us a few extra steps when editing character placeables. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Tetra Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 New version of Kotor Tool posted today. v1.0.1732.40179 (2004-9-29) Features/updates: At the request of Achilles: Added the ability to set the 'dropable' property for Creatures' and Placeables' Inventory items. Pack items drop-ability is set via a checkbox in the grid, and for equpped items, it is set via a context (right-click) menu.

SelenityMoon Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Ok.. I'm having two problems with it.. the first one (only because I can still see the error window) happens when I try to open anything with kotor tool (but not with the 2da editor) It could not find a file called dialong.tlk in C:\ The exact text is: "Could not file file "C:\dialog.tlk". When I click on details it says this: Edited by Darth333: lenghty debugging output removed. Fred has seen it - as per his request, use e-mail for this next time ... I have no idea what that means. I have .NET Framework installed and updated. So does anyone have any clue as to what is going wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 If you check Fred's KotOR Tool thread you'll see that he released a new version that fixes this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkkender Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 If you check Fred's KotOR Tool thread you'll see that he released a new version that fixes this issue. Unfortunately Achilles I can speak from using the newest version just posted on his site as of yesterday or so that the error still occurs not only that but the new version no longer runs an image editor. I have had continuos problems of this nature however I was chalking most of them up to windows 2000 pro because I've had similiar problems prior to kotor tool. that and alot of these errors are direct results of the files kotor tool is calling from. kotor tool uses all the default 2da files for alot of the utc, uti, utp files so it will generate an error any time one of these files makes a call outside of what is defined in the original file such as appearance.2da with a custom recruit because there is no more than 508 appearance references if you have a 509th that your utc file calls too it will pop the error that selenitymoon has below except it will say something to the effect of invalid array(509). And yes I have loaded my registration key.(so thats not it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T7nowhere Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Does KT open at all for you? Is KotOR installed in the Defualt Directory (you know C:\Program Files\LucasArts\SWKotOR) If it is not then you will have to Set the Paths Manually (you might want to read this page Intro to KT To help you get started with KT. The Image viewer works Fine <but you have to hold shift+ double left click to open it. Once it's open you can select the texture you want with the mouse then use the arrow keys to cycle through them. For future Referance it would be best to PM Fred or post in the KT thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkkender Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hate to spoil T7 but in the newest version that shift+double click doesn't work.(just tried it) I was already planning to PM this evening anyway. I was just trying to locate my error log I created to forward onto fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On version 1.0.1732.40179 Although help file won't load, and about only shows the icon And I can't use tpctotga anymore to Load the tex straight to PS but other than that it works Fine for me. But really this should be in the KT thread so Im moving this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkkender Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 ok Well I guess I'm not the only one with the helpfile problem and now that you mention the the tpctotga factor I hadn't even paid that one any mind earlier when I double clicked on a tpc and it just did nothing. I guess I need to be more attentive to the problems when I take notes to report bugs. on a seperate note I do have to say I like the installer factor as well as the ability to associate files with kotor tool finally which in and of itself is a reason to celebrate.

Fred Tetra Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 The "Help" function wasn't working due to a major change required in Kotor Tool's design to support file associations and also because of the way it is installed. I had also temporarily disabled external image viewer support so that I could fix a problem with it that I had been meaning to address for a looong time that would have cause other problems had I left it enabled.

Darkkender Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 hey Fred I think you need a disclaimer for kotor tool saying you will no longer support versions of your tool more than a week old unless no new versions have been released what is this 4 in like 3 or 4 days:D But seriously thank you man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Tetra Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Heh heh, I hear you there! Sometimes things just go perfectly and I can code a fully-formed idea in a short time. The "dropable" property on inventory, complete with GFF field additions, parsing, right-click menu on the equipped inventory and checkboxes in the grid (which I have never done before) took about 3 hours. The UTM editor took about 1.5 hours At least I don't have to pick the version number; that's generated automatically! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Tetra Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hopefully it is a bit faster to use than the GFF Editor, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanesh Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I just wonder why 2 of my conversation files can't be opened by the Conversation Editor. I modified the lev40_carth.dlg file with tk's editor, but when I want to open it with the Kotor Tool editor, I get this setup error: Failed to load resources from resource file Please check your setup and the tool ends after clicking "OK". But the setup can't be wrong because it works with all the other files except one: With Mekel's personal conversation file from my mod, I don't even get an error message, it just crashes. Both of them work fine in the game and can be opened with the editor from tk, so it's not a desaster; I just wonder what's the reason for it.

tk102 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Could it be the IsChild field causing problems? As far as I know, Fred enforces Bioware's documentation on the subject, while I (and KotOR) do not. Tanesh, did you perform a Paste as Copy in DLGEditor, creating a circular reference in the dialog?

Fred Tetra Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 There have been a number of people who've been getting "chitin.key" errors and I have traced the problem down to the fact that their file refers to "custpackiv.bif" or sometimes "custpacki.bif" through "custpackiv.bif" (custom packs 1-4?). I'm not sure what these are used for, other than they contain models, mdx's and what I would guess are some portrait TGA's. If anyone has any info on these, please contact me via email.

RedHawke Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Originally posted by Achilles Here's a shot in the dark... http://kotor.forgottenwars.net/ It's not a shot in the dark Achilles, you are probably right on target. Those .bif files you are talking about Fred are probably the 4 PC Customisation Packs released by the modders at http://kotor.forgottenwars.net/ using their easy to use, for them, but complicated to everyone else, KISS Tool, from what I could gather it makes a .bif file instead of putting files into override. EDIT: Originally posted by Achilles below But we have tutorials now But... I thought tutorials are supposed to instruct people how to do something useful, like installing a common mod with their Tool, step-by-step start-to-finish, not show a single script for installing a limited use mod and explain just that, then expect the masses to suddenly "get it"... raise them up on their shoulders and carry them around while cheering their names. If they want the KISS Tool to truely be useful I have one word for them... GUI. And Fred I also just tried the .utm editor, man... if I only had that a week ago... J/K... Awesome work Fred!
