is there way to change where you start in tsl so you don't have to start in the same place when you start a new game?
You can start in a custom module by renaming it to the same as the starting module and deletiing the old one. If you want to change starting position in module then there is a tut for it.
Well, If you want to keep the old game without deleting content the easiest way will be to open the dialog at the beginning (m01aa_c01.dlg) and insert a script that will warp the PC to another module/waypoint/other coordinates.
where in kotor tool is the file?
RIMs > Modules > end_m01aa_s.rim > Dialog > bottom of list
Well, it would have a different name. I don't know it, though. I looked through the first module and I couldn't find it.
Sorry, haven't thought of TSL...
The Name of the file is intro.dlg located in ERFs -> Modules -> 001EBO_dlg.erf -> I
