KotORTLK - TLK file browse/search/edit utility (Current Version: 2.3)
Edit tk102 9/29/06: This application has been officially retired from service. Please refer instead to stoffe -mkb-'s TalkEd utility
---------------------
KotORTLK v2.3 (11/14/05)
http://www.starwarsknights.com/tools.php
v2.3 - TLK->TXT and TXT->TLK functions added.
v2.2 - Added 'Add Entry' and 'Delete Entry' to the File menu. Added a label that shows the number of entries in the current TLK file.
v2.1 - Added better support for extended ASCII character set (0x7F through 0xFF). This allows characters such as é to be saved in the TLK file correctly (instead some weird 2-char sequence).
KotORTLK is a utility for browsing, searching, and editing the dialog.tlk file in KotOR.
Make a backup of your TLK file before you do any editing!
I also suggest using the Page Up and Page Down buttons for scrolling, cuz it's just easier.

Not sure if it's because of the patched Dialog.tlk file, but KotOR TLK won't save changes for TSL.
Yes, I'm clicking Apply and yes I get the prompt telling me that the app has finished saving my changes  |

He released this five months ago (not to take away from his hard work).
I hope that Tk102 reads back far enough to see that someone posted a legitimate issue instead of seeing your post and assuming that someone bumped the thread for a +1 to their post count. |

Hmm, works for me. Just remember to make sure you're opening and saving in the SWKOTOR2 directory, not the SWKOTOR directory (which is what the Open As... and Save As... dialogs will default to). [I should fix that.  ]
Has it been 5 months?
Oh and if you happened to have overwritten your dialog.tlk for SWKOTOR by mistake, there's another copy here.

I was trying to edit entries 75351-75355. I eventually just threw my hands up and used dlgeditor to change the specific dlg entries, but I have many similar changes to make and I'd rather edit one .tlk file than multiple .dlg files.

Still works for me... at least insofar as KotORTLK shows the changes when closed and re-opened. (Haven't tried to check in-game.)
Are you trying to add strange characters?

No just text. Would copy/paste from Notepad cause the changes not to take hold? They appear to take before I save, however when I reopen the app, the old entries are still there (again, I am clicking apply after each change).

Good question. Have you tried typing something directly to see if there's a difference? I would think Notepad would be fine to paste from (unlike Word), but maybe that's what's going on.

Doesn't appear to make a difference. Changes aren't saved regardless of copy/paste or keyed entry  |

Then double-check where you're saving the dialog.tlk file. (It defaults to SWKOTOR directory, not the SWKOTOR2 directory.)

Try saving it with a different name then, like dialog2.tlk or something. It should save it for sure that way. Then later try renaming it back.

Yes it did work that time. When I went to rename dialog.tlk, I got a prompt asking me if I wanted to make changes to the read-only file. I wonder if something in KotORTLK is not overriding the file's read-only status?

v2.1 - Added better support for extended ASCII character set (0x7F through 0xFF). This allows characters such as é and ń to be saved in the TLK file correctly (instead some weird 2-char sequence).
This is the same fix that was made to DLGEditor v2.1.7. The target audience for this fix are non-English modders.

No matter what I do with KOTORTlk, I get a BadStrRef.
Example:
I tried turning the blank entry 42504 into "Hoth". Instead of listing "Hoth" in the planet select screen like it should, I get "Bad ".
What am I doing wrong?
This one's SUPER LUCKY!

I am not aware of such a feature in KotORTLK, but Kotor Tool has the ability to export a TLK file as XML, which you can open in any text editor. It does not yet import the files, however. If there is some actual demand for this, I can add it.

Well the thing was, I want to have all the entries of the tlk file in a txt file or similar so i can have several people working on them (we're working on a revising of the translation). And when its done be able to put them back again to the tlk file.
