spells.2da editing

[darkxion]

I have two spells.2da files I'm trying to merge, with 2DA Converter, and an unaltered spells.2da file I extracted with KoTOR Tool. The problem is that one of the spells.2da files I'm trying to merge, is in 2DA V2.0 (text) rather than 2DA V2.b (binary). I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me how I can convert the first one into V2.b, so I can merge them, thanks!

 

Actually, I've been searching around the forums and I may have found a solution here. (In case anyone else needs this info, too) http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?p=2309655&highlight=convert#post2309655

 

Gonna check it all out now, and see how it works.

Damn...no go, attempts to open the offending spells.2da file (V2.0) in Excel with the add-on results in a "Bad Header" error. curses.

As this is about merging 2da files and isn't a mod request, moving to Holowan Labs...

Unless the 2DA V2.0 file contains a whole lot of new lines it's probably less trouble to open the 2DA V2.b file in a 2DA editor and then copy&paste the line values from the text file into it, re-creating the new lines by hand.

I'll try that, thanks stoffe.

Oh and sorry redHawke, didn't realize i posted in the wrong spot.
