I am familiar with editing JK2 & JKA, but I'm not sure about what to do with the files in KOTOR.

Anyway does anyone see a good future for moding this game?

I... don't really know. :D I know that there's going to be some official mods for it coming out around Christmas but as far as messing with it ourselves I haven't heard anything.

I don't have the game yet.
But they better damn well release a Module Editor like they did for Neverwinter Nights. :D

There are cheat codes available so you can set your stats, skills, experience points, and equipment. I suspect there will be mods of some sort. Too early for it yet though...

there will be no official support for mods, no official tools...only if someone makes 3rd party tools will we be able to mod the game.

does anyone know what the codes are

Another shameless plug :D For the giveitem cheat, you must give the resref. e.g.: 'giveitem g_a_jedirobe06', you get a jedi robe. The resref can be found in the various data files

I can successfully extract the files from the .BIF archives that the game uses. As for editing them, some are indeed directly editable (plain text), but most are binary, and the scripts are only compiled (i.e there's no source code for the scripts). Therefore, it's really not editor-friendly, and honestly, I doubt that there will be mods...it's not tile-based like NWN, and making new environments is not trivial to say the least.

Thanks for posting the codes Swat.

okay............. for example how ould i get frag grenades?

im not sure about that g_a part of the code.. please advise.

Can someone that knows a list of items post them?

I'd like to be able to just get at the model skins...

moving this to the editing forum...

yeah, that's what i'm interested in myself. i just want to mess with their skins. they were so d@mn good. it's a shame not to be able to get to them. but i am sure someone out there will figure something out.

ASk, you said that you were able to open the .BIF files and look around. What tool is used for this? Is it part of the NWN toolset? or is it a 3rd party tool?

Thanks,
-Father Mike.

^ I would like to know that as well...

i used a tool called dragon unpacker.....though you have to use version 4 as version 5 does not have .bif support yet. it did me little good though, as all the image files are in .raw format and i was unable to get any of them to open properly in photoshop. if anyone figures this out though, feel free to updtae the rest of us.

http://www.elberethzone.net/index.php?page=dup4&language=en)

that's a link to the version 4 page, scroll all the way to the bottom for the download links.

I appreciate the link, eidospsogos.

I'm more interested in the item files and the like, so I'm not as worried about skins and models. However, if I come across a way to get into the skins, I'll post it.

Apparently ALL the files in /data are in .raw format...

I was able to open the .bif files in NWN Explorer. DragonUnpacker does a poor job, in comparison. You can view the file names and proper extentions with NWN Explorer - not .raw, but .mdl, .txi, etc. as well as their binary format. However, you cannot view the model directly or view the ASCII.

Certain features of these files give the impression that they are purposefully distorted. I hope this is not the case.

Unfortunately, I really don't have the skills to do much with this. Hopefully someone else out there does as I have the resources to 'make it happen.' (Read: -Hint-hint- Drop me a line if you're interested.)

For purposes other than modding, (if you just want to look around) the pre-rendered movies can of course be opened with RAD Video Tools/Bink. Sound files work in WinAmp and RealOne, but not WindowsMP, provided you change their extensions to .mp3. Dialog (dialog.tlk) can be viewed with NWN Viewer. It is organised by Resource Name. The NWN tools mentioned above can be obtained at NWVault.com.

I'd like to see this game modded, but their is a substantial amount of work involved in the creation of a workable toolset. I'd be hard at work on this already myself, but my background isn't even in a relevant ballpark. All that I can do myself is explore which tools are out there for viewing and editing (and try to find people with some serious skills and free time).

The Odyssey engine is substantially based on Aurora, so while any modding attemps would be nearly from scratch, there is this advantage.

Actually from what I can see the biggest hurdle at the moment is that Bioware compiled / compressed / encrypted the 2DA files. (I lean toward compiled personally, there seems to be too much plaintext remaining for encryption 'thou I'm hardly an expert on that subject and a couple of the files look like they may be both encrypted /and/ compiled.)

Those files control quite a bit. From feats and feat progression, to assigning what file goes to what appearance index number.

I've not tested the graphical tools or scripts from NWN at the moment, but the monster/item (UTI and UTC respectivly) templates seem to remain in the simple GFF format from NWN. (A GFF viewer/editor is available from the NWN Developers area.
http://nwn.bioware.com/developers/)
You have to rename the file from UTI/UTC ect to GFF, and the tool itself isn't big on explaining unlabled fields but it's not bad.)

*EDIT* Just looked over the script files and they seem to still be presented in plain text. *shrug*

I'd personally guess that about 60-70% of the NWN tools will work on KOTOR, and a remaining 20% or so could probably be made to work with minor modifications. (It makes no sense for Bioware to signifigantly change a set of working file formats so I'm not surprised.)

Beyond the 2DA problems the next big kink in modding problems seems to be a map editor which is a much, much, harder problem to solve.

Oh, and personally I use the really old 'BifUnpacker'. ^_^

Even though the engine isn't much alike NWN's, I suspect there could be made some minor mods for KotOR? I would stand in a wookie life-debt to anyone making an XP cap remover. I cry myself to sleep every night, with only 20 levels and no possibility multiclassing :(

amen to that! it becomes especially annoying after your first time through the game when you are attempting to do every possible sidequest that can be done for your particular alignment choice.

i still have to get star maps on kashyyk and manaan, have not gotten picked up by the leviathan, and then there's the unknown world, as well as completing the remaining character sidequests for juhani, jolee and mission's brother(and why didn't your utility droid get a sidequest.....everyone else did, that's hardly fair :)) and i only have 3 levels left to gain on my main character.

and who wants to skip the best parts of the game just so they don't gain the xp? there should be a subtract level code rather than an add level code. :)

The NCS, BIF and KEY formats seem to be virtually unchanged since NWN, so they can be edited pretty easy..
And if I don't remember wrong the first version of 2DAs which were in the Infinity Engine were also semi-compiled(I use in lack of better term :)) and someone managed to bypass that too..me, I think much more can be done than what first thought..

Even if we could figure out how to get textures in and out of the game, that would allow you to do a lot...

Ok, here's a "tutorial" in hex-editing your savegame. Note, this is only one of the many ways of doing it, and I'm sure there's a simpler way to go about it, but I did it in a trial and error fashion. I'll post the process I went about here (except the parts that failed, obviously).

First of all, you need a hex editor. Personally I use a dirt-old DOS hex editor just because I've used it for many years, but you should probably get a newer one, like Hex Workshop or whatever.

NOTE: If you are already a Jedi and only want more Force Powers, skip the class changing thing listed below, and only reset your character's Jedi class level to 1.

BEFORE choosing a Jedi class by talking to Master Dorak, use the cheat codes to give your character a total of 210,000 XP. Standing in front of Master Dorak right now, ready to choose your Jedi class, would be very practical. Auto level up to level 20. Save the game in two different slots, in case you mess up something.

Open your Savegame.sav file with the hex editor. If you have 210,000 exp (which you should), search for the number "50 34 03". After finding it, count 240 spaces to the right to find your character's level. You're level 20 now, so it will say 14 here. Change this to 01.

Count 12 spaces to the left. This is your character's class. This will say 00 for soldier, 01 for scout and 02 for scoundrel. Just keep a note of it, we'll change it later.

Reload the game. You'll be level 1 again. Talk to Master Dorak and choose your Jedi Class. You'll be a level 1 soldier, scout or scoundrel, and level 1 Jedi of your chosen class. Save the game in the two slots again, DO NOT LEVEL UP YET!

Edit the game, search for the experience value. Count 252 spaces to the right to find your Jedi class. 03 for Guardian, 04 for Counsular and 05 for sentinel.

Now. Let's say you started the game as a soldier. Then change this Jedi Class value to scout. Count 12 spaces to the right to find the level, set this to 0. Yes, 0, not 1. Save changes and reload game. Auto level up to 20, save and edit the game again. Change class to Scoundrel and level to 0. Reload game, auto level up again and save the game in the two slots. Repeat this process for all the Jedi classes too, setting the class to one of them and the level to 0. This will give you all the innate feats that start at level 1. When you have done all that, set the Jedi Class back to the one you want to play the game with and the level to 1. Yes, 1, not 0 anymore.

Level up manually now, choosing any feats the computer has skipped. If you notice that you are missing some class specific feats (like heavy weapons focus for a soldier), simply set the appropriate class and manually level up and pick them. Choose the Force Powers you like. When you have done all the levels, save and edit the game to set the Jedi level to back to 1. Not 0 because that might remove the force powers you already have gotten. Besides, 1 will suffice because you have all the innate feats already. Manually level up and choose new Force powers again, and repeat as many times as you need to get them all. Voilа!

P.S. (this is not my own work)

Was that really neccesary? I mean it's not like ppl can't find list themselves, an url would suffice, besides this is a mod thread not cheat(and that which you describe above is obviously just cheating and ruining the game experience)..

1) most of these lists on the net are incomplete, that's why I've compiled this one so to make it more easier.

2) if you 're using cheats the first time you play the game then yes you 'll most likely ruin the overal game expierence, but after you've played it for say two or more times a little varation doesn't hurt I 'd bloody well say.
I mean, it is quite fun to have your Darth Revan's robe from Dantooine on instead of the last two meters before the game is over right?

there is a complete list of all items found at gamefaqs.com under the title of consoles cheats/codes. it's been up for at least a month. so i would say no, the huge list above was not really needed. it might have been best to add it to the PC version cheat codes thread already started in this very forum.

there is also a topic in this forum called savegame hex-editing guide that covers the hex-editing post as well. the info in it also comes from gamefaqs.

WOW, I've just looked through the .bif files with NWN explorer.

Those files have been made specially by bioware to be unmodable.
I looked at the texture files and those textures have definately been screwed with.

I do not totally comply with you, Celladur. As far as it goes, if a file exists, it is moddable, given the right tools (even if that tool has to be a Hex-Editor). I've been messing around primarily with the ERF-Files (see TexturePacks Directory) and their content.

ERFs seem to have been virutally unchanged since NWN, only in minor ways, so it was really easy to make a custom tool to extract the interior files and be able to compile them back to an ERF. Not really a challenge, though it took me a damn day.

Now I'm messing around with the texture files, mostly those insinde "swpc_tex_gui.erf". They puzzle me a little bit at the moment, especially given diffrent filesizes in the same video mode (namely 800x600), but I'm still making progress. Hopefully I can uncover the exact structure of those files soon, my tries so far uncovered some usable info, but not really enough to start messing around with textures. I'm working on it though. In for the 4th day or so...

Somebody wanna pool their efforts with me, so we can figure out this stuff faster?

I didn't say it couldn't be modded, I said I think it was mad so it's extremely difficult to mod.

It might be true when it comes to the code-parts, as compiled code or encrypted stuff is always very hard to figure out. But textures will be fairly easy in my opinion, once we get aware of the exact structure. At least those not on models. I guess only time will tell.

The reason to why many of the file formats seen in KOTOR bifs are not possible to mod yet are because they are new, or enhanced versions of already existing formats found in NWN among others.
Of course they have to be, just look at KOTOR - does it look anything like NWN to you?

Either way, we are just beginning to unwrap KOTOR and finding out what we can do with it, I doubt Bioware made any deliberate changes to make it more difficult for us to mod(that just isn't how a corporate game developer works) although it might seem so at times when you can't get your latest mod to function or that script to run etc :)

Difficult to mod? at least we have some foundation of tools we can build upon, many games come completely unsupported and unknown from start with no previous titles of a similar engine which you can use as reference, in fact i'd say we are lucky being able to use some of the NWN tools to make our mods.
When I first sat down and decided to make a working script modification to the game, it took me several aggrivating days until I got it figured out and working(at one time I stopped trying because I figured it was impossible, too different), you wouldn't believe what I try in between before I puzzled out how to do this and that..lucky thing it was so easy in reality thanks to Aurora Toolset and I think it is the same way with many other things in the game and with time we will figure them all out.

PS. Pardon my long, ranty post now :)

i wouldn't think that's how software developers normally work either. but normally software developers don't ban the discussion of modding games on their forums either. at this point i wouldn't dismiss any possibility.

Don't mind me, I'm kinda new and really don't know crap about Mods. I just wanted to pass on some info, forgive me if it's of no importance.

Anyways....
While trying to find an easier way to listen to KotOR music
I went to the RAD video/BINK Tool site on the web (sorry I'm not at my home comp so i don't remember the address)
and downloaded the Miles player, it plays all the KotOR Streamwave file. (don't have to rename files to MP3)

They also have the BINK player to play the KotOR movies,
and they have another tool there called "Granny Viewer"
for animation. I have no clue how to use "Granny" or even if it would be any help, it seems to let you view textures/Models but I don't know how to get it to work with KotOR or even if it can.

Maybe someone who knows something can check it out?

Feza

hmmmm. if someone checks this out and it does indeed allow the viewing of models/textures let us know.(i'd do it myself but i have no idea where this stuff is supposed to be located) then we just have to find something to edit said textures.

The tools I was talking about can be found at
www.radgametools.com)

(i just did a quick search)

Hope it helps


Feza

Well..first off I just beat the game and decided i would start posting on some KotOR boards..hi (hehe)

Anyway...What I would really love to do with this game is add saber colors...I've always wanted to see a white saber blade..maybe a black saber? multi colored? It might be a while before we can figure out how to do this but if anyone does figure it out please post it..be really cool.

While I havent looked at the files my self (I'll do that when I get some free time to) Some things you guys may look at is that the texture files might have two images overlayed instead of just one image. Seeing as how alot of KOTOR textures seem to have a Bump map to them to give them there glossy and bumpy feel (or does it just appear to look that way?) If thats the case then it would be safe to assume that with each texture you might find some kind of bump map or shadeing map along with it.

With any luck we will figure it out. Allmost anything can be edited. Ultima Online is proof that with work any file format can be cracked and edited.

Rad game tools are pretty standard for game movies and sound but I don't know if they use it for textures and models, it sems more likely they use their own format. Anyone know what thye used for nwn because maybe it is something similar?

I was searching the net and found that the biffv1 files are from Baulders Gate, a thing from the site:
BIFFV1
One of the primary file formats are that of BIFFV1 (extension .bif). These files are resource-files of the type that became popular with the .WAD files of Doom et al, in other words, the act as a container for other (much smaller) resources. It is obvious that the bif-files of BG are to remain static and that they will not be affected by patches. For one thing, they mostly remain on your CD :-), but I was thinking more on their structure; having the catalog at the top of the file, something which is a really bad idea if you want to add entries. Instead there's an override directory which when a resource is sought will get searched first, only if the resource is not found there the game will reach for the bif-file.

One common BIFF is the AREAxxxx.BIF. These files contain the basic information about an area, three smaller BMP images of which is probably used for the sound-system (very smooth but crude approximation of the area layout), one is used as a map over where you can walk (looks hand drawn) and the last one.. well, we don't know. You will also find a couple of other chunks, and at the very end, all the graphics for the map as seen by the player (we've got some info on the format of that, stay tuned).

What BIFF stands for? If it is an acronym, it could stand for Baldurґs Gate Interchangable File Format

This is what we know about these files.

The site can be found http://gazonk.org/~eloj/gamehack/baldur-old.html) ( here
There is a newer site for it aswell

sounds good....
