gharidos Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hello is there a way to convert a .2da file to .2da in binary format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glovemaster Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 As always, Welcome to the forums! Well, can you explain your problem? As far as i am aware, there isn't an ASCII form of 2da to convert into Binary? If you mean from XML then look at KotOR Tool: http://kotortool.starwarsknights.com/ It has many tools built-in to convert/edit the different file types. For 2da you would click on the "2da" shortcut or: "Tools -> Open 2da File Editor", or press "Ctrl+D2". Then click "load 2DA 2.b (XML) File..." and select your XML 2da file. Then press "Save as 2DA 2.b..." or press Ctrl+S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharidos Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 i downloaded the kotor tool and i always get an error that says: "The application failed to initialize properly..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glovemaster Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 im not sure? I get alot of errors aswell but i tend to resolve those. The most common is when you try to open a source script. you need NWscript in your games override Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffe Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 i downloaded the kotor tool and i always get an error that says: "The application failed to initialize properly..." That message usually means you don't have the Microsoft .NET Framework installed, which is required to run KotorTool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk102 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Note also that stoffe has a 2DA Converter/Merger utility and I wrote a plug-in for Excel for 2da editing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavlos Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 and I wrote a plug-in for Excel for 2da editing as well. Which, by the way, makes 2DA editing a lot easier, especially if you are making large changes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffe Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Note also that stoffe has a 2DA Converter/Merger utility Keep in mind that the Text --> Binary converter in this tool requires the 2DA to be formatted in the same way as what the Binary --> Text converter produces, currently. I.e. it can't handle any whitespace character or an arbitrary amount of them between columns, so it's fairly limited in use when working with text 2DA's not produced by the same utility. If you have MS Excel/Office tk102's import/export plugins are a much better alternative if you import your text 2DA into a spreadsheet. The above tool was just made to allow me to get data in and out of OpenOffice.org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glovemaster Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I use the 2DA converter to make changes to single cells, creating new rows can be more complicated but its a great tool for making repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
