I've decompiled a compiled 2DA 2.b file to the uncompiled 2DA 2.0 Format and it works!

To try it yourself just downlaod THIS (http://www.hazardx.com/swkotor/files/2da_demo.zip) archive and copy its content to your override folder. After that you will see that a solder char gets 2 times more bonuses on Fortitude, Reflex and Will per Level-Up. (Just load a savegame of a soldier char and your values should be higher than before.)

This is just a small demonstration. I'll upload a 2DA Decompiler this weekend.

[EDIT]
It is ready for download. Visit my new Thread (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=121024)!)

Great. Keep up the good work :)

very nice :)
so the game doesn't care if you place decompiled 2das in override? strange why they would have to bother compiling them then I think when they never done so for previous games(I mean they are just text files, it's not like you are saving that much space or anything)
