Kotor Tool feature requests - Page 2

Mono_Giganto · 02-08-2007, 04:37 PM

I know Fred is generally inactive... But hey, so am I... So here's a thought from one old-time-lurker to another.

How about a way to simply view a mesh within the tool, without having to extract it and run it through MDL Ops? No need for editing functions... But so many meshes have meaningless names... And I don't want to extract everything and run all of them through MDL Ops, and import all of them into Max... I get enough errors as it is importing one mesh, since my version of NWMax doesn't match my copy of 3DS Max.

Just a thought.

Hi! That's a good idea. However to simply watch a modell, you do not need 3DSmax nor other 3D editing tool.
I posted a simple post about using MDL viewer for the work.

You still need MDLops though. However kotor tool has a more up to date version of mdlops built in that I could find for download. So I suggest, you should just try to extract the stuff you want with KotorTool. So you do not need MDLops at all.

Actually Kotor Tool includes mdlops 0.5 which is not quite the newest version. The newest version of mdlops is 0.6a4 however I believe you have to do a forum search to find it's link.

I think that you should add a feature that lets Mac users use the Kotor tool (mainly because I am a Mac user and I know people who play Kotor who have Macs).

I wonder where Fred might be now? Maybe he's dead xD

But anyway, maybe someone already requested this but I would like an advanced GFF-editor built in to Kotor tool. That will save me a lot of time as I don't have to extract the file, open K-GFF, find the file and edit it.

I hope he's not dead.. Anyway, i though that multiple extraction would be fantastic, seen as FindRefs won't extract TPC as TGA files. And models are extracted as ASCII

You should be able to make KotorTool automatically open GFF files (without their own specific file type editor) with k-gff instead of bioware's old GFF editor by renaming k-gff.exe to GFFEditor.exe and putting it in the KotorTool folder.

I know Fred's inactive but here comes my request:

Fred, if you see this, could you make an unlimited feature to the merchants inventory? So that I can make the merchants items unlimited.

I don't know if KT does it but you can already do this, using a GFF Editor, there is a node in the item list in the merchants .utm file;

Infinite (Byte)

Set the node to a 1 if you desire infinite items of this type to be sold from the seller.

Is there someway to be able to use to kotortool's module editor WITHOUT a map file, I don't care if it looks all black, but I REALY NEED TO USE THIS FEATURE FOR SOME 'UNSUPPORTED' MODULES (such as M4-78 and others...)

Thanks,
jedijed

A map maker would be nice!

Paddythegreat · 03-25-2008, 06:01 PM

Just wanted to say thank you, superb tool, i wanted a dooku style saber and this tool allowed me to make myself a decent one with a little reading and concentration. Great work!

rexman1000 · 09-02-2008, 05:06 PM

I have posted only thrice elsewhere on this forum, but I have a major request.

Please add the "Infinite" checkbox to the merchant editor, as well as something that reads the GFF's so that the tool can tell what items are infinite in quantity. I tire of going back in K-GFF to re-add the reference myself, though I usually just go back and add it by replacing the "Dropable" reference with "Infinite" using a hex editor.

allow kotor tool's .2da editor to add columns

I'm afraid the chances of that happening are close to nil, unless someone else takes up KOTOR tool development (which could only happen if they could get in touch with Fred, and get permission, not an easy task, unless they already had his email address), since Fred hasn't signed on for about 2 years now (though I came back after a 5 year absence, so hey, who knows?).

Right now, if you have excel, I'd recommend using tk102's Excel 2da read/write plugins. They can be found for download on the Starwarsknights.com modding tool page.

It's not just permission, we would also need the source.
Alternatively if we make our own, then we need no permission.

BTW I also only come here every two years... :P
Don't sweat it. Welcome back.
