T7nowhere Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I'm not exactly sure what you are doing, but I will try to help. The git file should not be opening in a note pad, it should open in the gff editor(you need to have gff editor installed inthe same folder as KT). If you want to force a file to open with a certain program right click the file, choose the GFF editor and select the box "always use this program to open this type of file" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randydg Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 no, i do have a gff editor its used in the kotor_tool program. when i click on open gff file i try to open my edited .git file and it oepens in a text editor instead of the gff editor. witch it will do fine if i open the .git from the original files and not an edited one.

randydg Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 oh, and if i open the gff program by itself and try to open the edited .git file it says invalid header. but opens fine with the original .git file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T7nowhere Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Thats odd I have never run into any thing like that, But if it's anything screwing with the file it's probly the gff editor. There have been a few times when I was editing a uti and it got corrupted for no reason. I haven't played around to much with the git files, but I haven't had any problem opening, editing, saveing then reopening. Im sorry i can't be of any help maybe someone else has run into the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Tetra Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 From my post of 2/16.... I discovered that there are at least two field types that are not found in BioWare's GFF specifications. These two new types are used (for example, but not exclusively) to represent the Position and Orientation of items in the CameraList list. Also, these types are not supported by the GffEditor program. If you try to open and save a file containing these types, they will be ignored and the file will be smaller when you're done. Perhaps quite obvious is the fact that you can't edit attributes of that use those types in their representation. An example of one of these files would be m02ae.git. This means that any number of strange things might happen, given that important data is missing after using BW's editor. KT just extracts the file to a working directory and tells their editor to open it, so KT isn't screwing it up, BW's editor is Remember, it was designed for NeverWinter Nights' version of the BW Aurora engine, not the newer one used in KotOR. Also, the currently released version of KT can only parse extracted-to-file GFFs and display them in the text editor. This is mainly so that I can do debugging, but I left it in since someone might want to look at a standalone file. I use it to see if the portion of my code that writes GFFs works correctly, since I have tested the reader/viewer enough to have some confidence in it. I did not add support for editing since I have been concentrating on other features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
