First. Thank tou very much for such a great tool. There are no words to describe the usefulness and productive raise of your tool for Kotor modding:) :) Regarding this new version, does it fix that bug Achiles posted above?

Fred Tetra Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 Indeed that is what it fixes. Achilles was having trouble with Kotor Tool, as you read above. I sent him an SFV file of my modules/*.rim files and we discovered that some of them differed. Upon examining a few of the files, (which, incidently, only differ in the Z-axis values of items and triggers...hmm), I realized that it wasn't the .rim files, but rather the non-.rim files (like .mod) that were the problem. The new code examines only .rim files in the modules folder now. I may expand the feature to BIF/ERF/MOD files if there is enough call for it. Oh, and "you're welcome" I am glad you find it useful and it improves your enjoyment of KotOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk102 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I was having the same problems as Achilles, but this version works just fine. I may expand the feature to BIF/ERF/MOD files if there is enough call for it. I think it would be time well-spent to expand the search to templates.bif and scripts.bif -- there's a lot of good stuff in there and scripts.bif is the only place that .nss files are found. The templates.bif file takes longer to search though, and one thing you can do is a pre-search, reading the raw .bif file chunk by chunk, searching for the search-string. That's pretty fast to do, and if you don't find it, then you don't have to scour through the .key/.bif relationship. Good job Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drog Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Originally posted by Fred Tetra It's not gone, just go to Tools | Options and check the boxes for Show Module Descriptions and Show Module Locations.

Darth333 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Everything seems to work fine for me now Thank Fred, this is very practical. Tk has a good idea: expanding the search to templates.bif and scripts.bif would be great. In fact those are the files I use the most.

Achilles Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I recently noticed that I receive a pop-up telling me that only registered users will have editing access whenever I click on the Inventory button after opening a .utp file in KT. Does anyone else get this or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth333 Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Yup. Me too and the reg key for the other versions doesn't work with the new version. I get that for merchants (*.utm) and placeables (*.utp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth333 Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Works great now. Thanks again Fred! Just thought it was good to mention that simply upgrading KT won't remove the pop-up about registration. I had to uninstall and reinstall (which takes only a few seconds ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Tetra Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 I have been meaning to send out a "form letter" to all of those folks who haven't downloaded the latest version of Kotor Tool and no longer need to register. If someone is aware of a public listserv that I can use to make release announcements through (my ISP thinks sending out 225 emails to registered users is 'spam' heh heh), please let me know. It would be nice for folks to subscribe so that they can get an email whenever there's a new version. I am working on a new feature for Kotor Tool that will cause it to check for and download the latest version, as needed. It is unfortunately difficult to do in a robust failure-proof manner, even with Microsoft's help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
