KotOR and KotOR2 Savegame Editor (KSE) - Current Version: 3.3.3

[Joris1]

Hey., I have a problem! When I open the Savegameeditor, it shows me this error:

Attempted to read past end of dialog.tkl
(tried to read string 136375 but dialog.tkl has 1363774 entries)

KotOR Spells.2da

What have I to do now?

[mimic666]

Sorry looks like a comp question to me, but are you using Lucas Arts\SWKotOR\ as the opening directory or Lucas Arts\ or Lucas Arts\SWKotOR\saves

Well I've got to go to work in an hour or so + I've still got to get ready. So hopefully I get a reply before 4 o'clock Central Time.

Of course ...\saves ! But I think I know how to solute the problem!

That error accurs when you install mods that modify the dialog.tlk file and then remove the mod without restoring the previous dialog.tlk... when you open the savegame editor you will recieve those kinds of errors... you should only have to restore the dialog.tlk to it's previous un-edited/modified condition and the error should be gone, Note: I said should be...

i dont know if this should go here but im having a problem with kse322.
when i try to run kse it says

"Attempted to read past end of dialog.tlk(tried to read string 136336
but dialog.tlk has 136321 entries

KotOR Spells.2da"

Does any one know how to fix this

Topics dealing with one of the tools need to go in T3-M4's Astromech Droid Center... moving.

Have you installed any mods that change the dialogue.tlk file or are you running a version of StarWars Knights in a different language?

[tk102]

Clear the spells.2da file out of your override file if you have one and delete the offending savegame.

i dont under stand i try to run the kse and it gives it to me so which is the offending sg

[tk102]

In that case, just remove the spells.2da from your override.

[taclled]

[Asgarnia]

I downloaded the KSE 3.3.3 and tried to run it, then nothing happened, for some reason it wont even start. Anyone knows how to fix that or does anyone else have the same problem ? :I

Edit: Nothing anymore, i needed to download KSE 3.3.2a, and it works, for now atleast... thanks Darth333

[SithLordStriker]

i'm a big noob at this and I was wondering where do you get the thingy called dialog.tlk from? Where in the game save? I use winzip

Mod Edit: Please do not type in all caps, it is considered shouting, and most people don't even bother to read posts in all or mostly caps, I have fixed your post for you this time. Thanks. -RH

Dialog.tlk is installed with the game to the main game directory, typically;

C:\Program Files\LucasArts\SWKotOR for KotOR I
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\SWKotOR2 for TSL (KotOR II)

It isn't part of the save game.

I have a softmodded Xbox, and Ive been looking around for help with the KSE 3.3.3. Editor. Can someone in here help me? All I want to do is change the dudes name and maybe his attributes. I copied the UDATA folder to the PC and when I tell the program where to find it, it adds the UDATA folder under KotOR with a +, and when I click on it I get an error message. Do I need the KotOR tool and anything else to make this work, or am I just doing it wrong? Cause if I need KotOR tool im screwed cause I have dialup...... Oh, and if I am in the wrong place again, please tell me who to talk to/where to go. Thanx!

Hello,
KSE requires a specific directory structure with data files (and .sig files!) placed in their expected folders. The details are in kse-readme.txt.

Also, when editing your PC's or NPCs' names for Xbox, you must keep the same number of characters as before or you will get a "damaged save game" message on the Xbox. (I think I still need to add that to the kse-readme.txt!)

[sion_revan]

ok, so how do i use this? i have a mod, and someone advised to use this to make it work or something. I JUST WANT REVAN'S ROBES WITH THE HOOD UP! GOD DAMN!!

[mimic666]

If you change your appearance to Unique_Darth_Revan you will have the Robes on when you load the save, but you will not be able to change from this "Ingame" unless you have a disquise or the "Sith Armor (Taris)".

First off.. calm down and lose the 'tude... We'll be more than happy to help if you aren't going to snap on us

Secondly, which mod are you having problems with? Have you considered that path (fixing the actual problem)... KSE can definitely fix it, but the problem mod may cause other unforseen problems if you don't either fix it or disable it (said mod)...

Let us know if you want to pursue using KSE to fix your problem, or if you'd rather have alternate suggestions for mods and/or fixing it

[Ravage13]

I am probably going to simply embarrass myself but...
I am new to the forums but I have read everything that seemed relevant. I am having difficulty with the KSE savegame editor. Using the pc version of KOTOR (no mod changes) I was able to change the NPC characters with no difficulty. With KOTOR2 (no mod changes), I cannot seem to change anything with the NPC characters (stats, appearance, class). For example, I wanted to add a Guardian class to Handmaiden immediately after adding her to the party (not patient enough to wait) and discovered I could change my pc character easy enough but nothing with the npc's. Am I missing a file? Corrupted KSE install? Or simply something I have overlooked? Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi i'm a newbie.
Well now that's out the way, is there any way to change the dark side portraits? I can place a portrait for say po_pfha01 in the over ride folder, and then i use kse to replace the portrait. But only neutral portraits show up in the editor.. is there any way i can replace the negative alignment portraits?

Thanks a bucket.

Wolly..

Hey

You can always do a conversion for a certain character or the like by pulling out the original .tga files and editing them and dropping them back into the override folder. you can do both the portraits and the skins for the models themselves that way. I'd try doing a search for HeAdShOp Mod and it has all your questions I believe answered in there. A thread on Holowan Labs.

Hope that helps a bit,

[CaptainWhyNot]

I noticed a problem with KSE 3.3.3 showing quests for the DAP:HC (Dark Apprentice: Holowan Consortium) v1.00.23 mod . It doesn't show the proper text entry in the left-hand window, but instead shows what looks like the first 32K or so entries from "dialog.tlk". I suspect the problem has to do with the mod's entries in "global.jrl" having Text StringRef set to -1 for using local strings (rather than a positive value for looking it up from "dialog.tlk"), but I don't know for sure. And, if I click on one of those messed up quest entries, KSE crashes and exits with an error message. (If you need more info about the error, let me know.) Fortunately, it doesn't seem to cause problems with any other quests.

I am in need of help,

Don't know if this is related to the program or not but figured I'd post something here in thinking perhaps someone else has had this problem.

I'm Playing KOTORII and I just boarded the ebon hawk and got a message to return to dxum, but the problem is, everytime I go to leave to another planet it shows the movie and then where it should be loading it just goes directly to the game menu when you start up KOTORII and is frozen. I tried going other places as well but got the same result.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate them.

[General Kenobi]

So when the game is loading the area, instead of the area it goes back out to the load screen and freezes?

Does the game have the same problem with other characters or just your current one?

[Analia]

What's the codes for KSE to make my character into this one? http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...kyamy/hmmm.jpg

[lord ignarn]

She looks like a custom made character,KSE can´t do anything here I´m sorry. Try to find it, it´s the only answer I can give you.

[Darnay]

How do I add/remove force powers? I don't see an option letting me, just feats and skills.

Thanks for any replies

[Addlcove]

as I recall (which means I'm probably wrong) force powers are located under the "classes" menu, as part of your jedi subclass

[Lord_shadowhnr]

i downloaded 3.3.3 n it didnt run,like Asgarnia, i downloaded 3.3.2 ,but,it didnt run!!!!!can someone plz help me?

[Darth333]

Did you tried KSEa (not KSE 3.3.2 but KSEa 3.3.2])? The download link is right below that of KSE: http://www.starwarsknights.com/tools.php

[Lord_shadowhnr]

yea i did

[bba05]

Thanks, can get rid of the Sand Warrior/Dragon Pearl quest from the Journal now. There was no way to complete the quest because although I had the item, I'd already pwned the Sand Chief.

[Gir19]

Ok, I have tried the past 4 versions of KSE and none of them are working for me.

I am running winxp sp2
I only have KOTOR2 installed with no mods
I have tried versions:
3.3.3
3.3.2
3.3.2a
and 3.2.8

they all come up with the same error saying that there was a problem within the module perl58.dll

I have tried emptying the temp folder then rebooting and trying again, then I have tried reinstalling KOTOR2, downloaded all 4 versions of KSE from different hosts and nothing appears to solve the issue.

[tk102]

I'm sorry to hear you're having such problems. As a last ditch effort, you could try installing Perl 5.8.8 on your computer from ActiveState (free downalod) and then try KSE 3.3.3 again. Choose the Windows MSI x86.
Here is the download page: click
Here is the direct download link: click. (15.2Mb)

If that solves the problem please post so.

And welcome to the forums.
