Rom Hack Patcher

[Sophie Reynolds]

Insidethis download, you will find several VERY useful tools. Almost all of these were made by stoffe originally and the only alteration I made was to make sure TSL Patcher did NOT check for the presence of the dialog.tlk file to verify the path you're installing the mod to. This was done to allow installing mods to the Workshop folders.

Of note in this package are three files:

1. ReadMe, really.pdf - A read-me file that really should be read if you want to understand how to do something with the TSL Patcher.

2. nwnnsscomp.exe - A modified script compiler that TSL Patcher uses to substitute tokens (such as .2da row pieces) in source scripts (.nss files) and then compile the scripts.

3. nwscript.nss - As far as I'm aware, the nwscript.nss file from KotOR 2, required by nwnnsscomp.exe to compile scripts.

Below are the original release thread descriptions for stoffe's work and I honestly don't think I could put it better than she already did years ago.

TLK Ed:

TalkEd is a dialog.tlk (or any TLK v3.0 file for that matter) editor that works with both KotOR1 and TSL. It can add new entries to a TLK file and edit or delete existing ones. It can create new TLK files from scratch or edit existing ones, and is capable of merging two TLK files together.

In addition it can be used to search among the entries in a TLK file for matches to a number of criteria.

(Dialog.tlk is the file that contains all the standard text strings in the game. It also links sound files to certain text strings.)

In a sudden burst of inspiration I finished a whole bunch of things I had planned for TalkEd but never gotten around to. I have uploaded the resulting TalkEd v1.0.4b version here.

What has changed in this version? Some things off the top of my head:

Since my programming skills leaves a lot to be desired I'm sure there are still a bug or two which I haven't spotted during my testing. As such this is still considered a beta version. If anyone uses this and spots any problems, please let me know.

The TSLPatcher is a small application intended to be used as a mod installer for KotOR and K2:TSL. Despite the name it works with both games in the series. Its purpose is to move some of the burden of making different mods compatible from the end mod user to the mod developer.

ChangeEdit is a support utility, used to create TSLPatcher configuration files with a somewhat user-friendly graphical user interface. (Well, more user-friendly than creating the config files by hand in notepad, anyway.)

It can, in general terms:

EDIT(2007-09-19) Uploaded TSLPatcher v1.2.10b1 and ChangeEdit 1.0.5b1, which fixes a bug/oversight breaking the changes.ini format when adding or updating ExoString fields or ExoLocString substring fields with text contining newline (LR/CR) characters. In those cases only the text before the first newline would get added earlier. This should now be fixed to handle text with multiple paragraphs properly. See this post for more details.

EDIT(2007-08-13) Uploaded TSLPatcher v1.2.9b which will handle already existing GFF fields a bit better when adding new fields to a GFF file. It will now update the value of the existing field to match what the new field would have had set, rather than just skip it entirely.

EDIT(2006-12-12) Uploaded TSLPatcher v1.2.8b10 hopefully making the Require file checks work reliably all the time, this time. Thanks to Darkkender for pointing this out.

EDIT(2006-12-10) Uploaded TSLPatcher v1.2.8b9 fixing a bug with the patcher not checking for required file if using multiple setups and auto-detecting the game install location. Thanks to Darkkender for pointing this out.

EDIT(2006-12-02) Uploaded TSLPatcher v1.2.8b8, which contains fixes for two bugs that sneaked their way into version 1.2.8b6. The bugs would cause installation to abort if the dialog.tlk file was write protected, or if copying a 2DA line and using a high() token to assign a new value to a column of the new line. Thanks to DarthCyclopsRLZ for pointing out these bugs.

EDIT(2006-10-03) Uploaded TSLPatcher v1.2.8b6, which contains a whole bunch of bug fixes and some new features. Please see this post for details.

EDIT(2006-09-07) Sneaky mini-update to TSLPatcher v1.2.8b4, fixes a bug with backing up files before replacing them from the InstallList, which was introduced when the install list sequence was changed to happen before 2DA edits. Also fixed mistake where word wrap was permanently left off when toggling from the Config Summary back to the info.rtf display on the main TSLPatcher window.

EDIT(2006-08-28) TSLPatcher v1.2.8b3 uploaded, this hopefully fixes the occasional crashes when recompiling scripts with include files, and works around the weird GUI glitch in the main TSLPatcher window that resulted in the buttons and scrollbars ending up outside the window area. Huge thanks to tk102 for taking time to iron out the nwnnsscomp bug.

EDIT(2006-08-09) TSLPatcher v1.2.8b2 uploaded. This version fixes a bug with the RIM handling class which caused the game to have trouble loading RIMs modified by the Patcher, caused by an error in the RIM specifications I had at my disposal. The game should now properly load modified RIM files without problems.

EDIT(2006-08-09) TSLPatcher v1.2.8b1 and ChangeEdit v1.0.4b8 uploaded. This version allows the "Install" function to place files into ERF/RIM archives, allows options for renaming files during installation, and adds a "config summary" button to the main TSLPatcher window.

EDIT(2006-08-06) TSLPatcher v1.2.8b0 and ChangeEdit v1.0.4b7 uploaded. This version changes how the ERF handling functionality works to make it more useful. See this post for more info.

EDIT(2006-07-25) TSLPatcher v1.2.7b9 and ChangeEdit v1.0.4b6 uploaded. This version has some changed made to the Add/Modify GFF Field functionality, allowing to to be used to insert new conversation branched into DLG files. Various minor user interface changes have also been made.

EDIT(2006-07-08) TSLPatcher v1.2.7b7 and ChangeEdit v1.0.4b4 uploaded, containing some bugfixes, interface improvements (I hope) and minor changes to make it a little less sensitive to errors.

EDIT(2006-05-28) Uploaded TSLPatcher v1.2.7b5 and ChangeEdit v1.0.4b3, with a Mini-update that allows it to optionally auto-detect the game folder location rather than ask the user where it is, as requested.

EDIT(2006-05-11) Uploaded TSLPatcher v1.2.7b4 and ChangeEdit v1.0.4b2. No new features, just some fixes to bugs I discovered, and slight change to how the script compiler is called to allow it to work with the custom version of nwnnsscomp that tk102 has been kind enough to provide. This custom version is also included in the download now.

EDIT(2006-04-29) Uploaded TSLPatcher v1.2.7b1 and ChangeEdit v1.0.4b1. Too much more information can be found in this post.

EDIT(2006-03-25) Updated ChangeEdit to v1.0.3a with GFF Compare function, 2DA Modifier copy button and a whole bunch of interface improvements. See this post.

EDIT(2006-03-19) Updated TSLPatcher to v1.2.6a (wip v2), which fixes a bug that would prevent the script compilation function to work properly on Windows 98 and Windows 2000 computers.

EDIT(2006-03-09) Uploaded new test version, TSLPatcher v1.2.6a (WIP v1) with added support for modifying SSF Soundset files with dynamic StrRefs for added TLK entries. See this post for a little more detail.

EDIT(2006-02-03) I've uploaded a new test version, TSLPatcher v.1.2.5a, which has some limited ERF (e.g. module file) packing functionality added. See this post for more details.

EDIT(2006-01-16): I've uploaded a test version of TSLPatcher v1.2 and ChangeEdit v1.0 which has some new features added. See this post for details.

This is WONDERFUL, I loved that I'm able to use the tlked especially, adding more dialogue and making it so that Scoundrel = Smuggler as it should be, is something perfect. Even better while adding sarcastic responses for the smuggler in the dialogue.tlk because that's how I'd envision a smuggler would roll. None of this goodie, goodie "ohh yes ma'am" action either, more along the lines of how my toons from Star Wars the old Republic would react, especially my smuggler female, in it for the money, despite how Carth or Bastila would want things to go. Thank you very much for this

Take a patch contained within a single patcher window, place it within a patcher object, add inlet s and outlet s, and you can instantiate it as an object (or many copies of that object) capable of its own messaging, embedded within a larger patch.

I use an old 2014 Intel-based Mac with MacOS Ventura. To make this possible, I use OpenCore Patcher. But BitDefender cannot even complete a system scan on this system. Is OpenCore Patcher the culprit?

I don't think this scenario was ever tested, so I would recommend contacting the Technical Support Teams, as more information might be required for diagnosis. You can get in touch with our engineers by choosing one of the contact channels available here:

I have the same problem, Just renewed my annual subscription and upgraded to the new IOS using the Open Core patcher. every thing runs like a dream "EXEPT Bitdefender" it wont upgrade latest definitions or will not run a scan either system or Quick scan when you click on scan it just locks. Obviously not Bitdefenders problem because im using a 2013 i'mac . just disappointed that Bit Defender wont work and i may have to change to a different anti Virus after using Bit defender for years. I will hang off a few weeks to see if there is a work around before i change.

Well, I haven't come to it yet, but I'm considering doing what Alexandru suggested. As I have no clue what is happening and cannot fix it. However OpenCore obviously opens up some possibly problematic things to make MacOS Ventura work. Would be awesome if BitDefender would secure it a bit.
