JediKnight707 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Yes, there is one right here, called TSLPatcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffe Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Does Anyone Know If There Is a .2Da merging program out there? there are a couple of mods that clash that id like to make compatible, but i dont know how to edit .2da's. While there are tools that can help you merge 2DA files, there are none (as far as I am aware) that are "One Click to make these mods compatible" tools. If you don't know how to edit game data files or have some basic grasp of how things are connected those tools won't do you much good. 2DA files are not (usually) stand-alone resources where it's enough to just merge them to make mods compatible. Usually lines in 2DA files are referred to by other data files (or other 2DA files in some cases) by line number. As such, if you merge two 2DA files, you must also make sure that all data fields (and other 2DA files) that reference those lines are updated to point to the new line numbers as well. What kind of mods are you trying to merge? Yes, there is one right here, called TSLPatcher. That isn't really a 2DA merging utility. While I suppose it can be used as such, it would be unnessecarily complicated. TSLPatcher is more intended for helping mod-makers make some types of mods more compatible with other mods at install-time. There are a few ways of manually merging 2DA files that are a lot more efficient. You can copy&paste lines in KotorTool, export/import the 2DA data from a spreadsheet, or try the 2DA Merger app that is linked to in my signature.
