Arátoeldar Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I am trying to merge two mods. This requires the merging of two .ncs files. I have looked at the scripting tutorials. However I have not found any answers. The closest I an get is Darth333'd tutorial on how to compile scripts. How do I open a .ncs file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 the .ncs must be de-compiled first... Did the 2 mods include their source files (.nss)? This would be want you want in order to edit/combine the scripts. You can attempt to de-compile the .ncs using the DeNCS Script Decompiler.. the program should work in either K1 or K2 now, depending on the version of Java (JRE) you have running.. However, you'll still need to 'manually' combine the 2 scripts once you have their source.. it's just getting to that point is the biggest problem.. hehehe If that doesn't work, post which 2 mods you are using, or the byte code for the .ncs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkkender Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 What are the mods and what are the scripts I might be able to further you along this path as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arátoeldar Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 The two mods that I am trying to combing are Achilles Game Balance (no nss) and Handmaiden for for Exile (has nss). The file file is a_kreatris.ncs. When I try to use Hazard's scripting tool, it does nothing. When I try to use DeNCS tool I get the following error. "Error: cannot open actions file K:\Maps Mods Patches\LucasArts\KotOR Series\Files need Modding\ncs\DeNCS script decompiler for KotOR 2 TLS\nwscript.nss" This happens for either .ncs file with or without the .nss file.

stoffe Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 The two mods that I am trying to combing are Achilles Game Balance (no nss) and Handmaiden for for Exile (has nss). The file file is a_kreatris.ncs. As far as I remember Achilles version of the script only changes the "n_darthtraya" resrefs to "n_darthatris" or some such to use other creature blueprints not conflicting with those used in the Malachor modules.

That make sense since there are two n_darthatris.utc files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have DeNCS installed in it's own directory or in the same directory with Kotor Tool? The reason I ask is this is likely being caused by improper installation which they have lined out in the readme for DeNCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I use the DeNCS I get either failure or it does nothing. I am using Java 1.6 update 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arátoeldar Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Now that I am using Java 6 beta 2 I stiil get ether failure or nothing happens. I tried decompiling them from their own folders. I have tried decompiling them from the Kotor Tool folder. I am using the latest version of the Kotor Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
