The following information describes the resource system used by KotOR and TSL. While KotOR is derived from the Aurora engine (Neverwinter Nights) and shares the same resource system, this section focuses on KotOR-specific behavior and file locations. Some details (like nwn.ini) are NWN-specific and are noted as such.
Both games use the same high-level flow: the executable initializes an application manager, creates a server (game world) and client (rendering, input, UI), then runs a main loop that pumps window messages, updates the render window, and drives the Aurora/Odyssey subsystems. Resource loading follows the resolution order below; the resource manager services requests from override, then module/ERF, then KEY/BIF. Reinitializing the Aurora engine (e.g. after resolution or display changes) reloads or refreshes core subsystems while preserving the same client/server split. Scripts (NCS) and dialogues (DLG) run in the server context; the client handles display, camera, and input and receives updates from the server.
Client and server: The Odyssey engine (like Aurora) separates a server (game world, rules, scripts, resources) from a client (rendering, input, UI). The server owns area state, creatures, items, and script execution; the client displays the world and sends input. This split is important for modding and for understanding NCS execution and resource resolution.
-
chitin.key: Master index file that maps resource names to BIF containers locations. Given a resource name, chitin.key can be used to locate the master data file (BIF) containing the resource. -
dialog.tlk: Text resource file containing localized strings referenced by StrRef IDs. This centralizes strings for easy localization and allows changing text without modifying or recompiling scripts. Different language versions of dialog.tlk can be installed for localization support. -
kotor.ini: Configuration file with[Alias]section mapping logical directory names to physical paths. This allows the game to locate data files regardless of installation directory structure.
Reference: xoreos-docs (Mirror: th3w1zard1/xoreos-docs): specs/torlack/basics.html - Tim Smith (Torlack)'s Aurora engine basics documentation (NWN-focused)
The engine satisfies every resource request (by ResRef and type) in this order. See KEY File Format for how demand flows through the resource manager.
- Override folder (
override/) - Currently loaded MOD/ERF files
- Currently loaded SAV file (if in-game)
- BIF files via key lookup
- Hardcoded defaults

For complete, comprehensive, and accurate wiki coverage, the following community sites and archives hold historical and ongoing KotOR/TSL modding knowledge. Use them to cross-check format behavior, tool usage, and engine quirks.
| Source | Description | Use for |
|---|---|---|
| DeadlyStream | Primary KotOR modding hub: mod releases, tutorials, Script Shack, tool discussions. | File format questions, TSLPatcher/HoloPatcher usage, nwscript.nss and animation references, override practices. |
| LucasForums Container | Archive of original LucasForums (StarWarsKnights.com) threads, reconstructed from the Wayback Machine. | TSLPatcher history and changelogs, Stoffe’s posts, format and tool discussions (2004–2007). |
| LucasForums Archive | Alternative archive project (Editing/Modding, Holowan Laboratories, tutorials). | TSLPatcher thread, KotOR tool docs, mod-finding threads. |

- DeadlyStream: Help Setting up TSLPatcher -- TSLPatcher setup
- DeadlyStream: TSL Patcher, TLKEd, and Accessories -- Modding tools
- DeadlyStream: Modding Tools Category -- Tool releases
- LucasForums Archive: TSLPatcher v1.2.10b1 -- Original TSLPatcher thread (see also TSLPatcher Thread Complete in this wiki)
- LucasForums Archive: Editing / Modding -- Holowan Laboratories and tutorials
How to Use These Sources:
- DeadlyStream: Search the forums for specific topics (e.g. "Override Folder", "TSLPatcher 2DA Merge", "GFF Struct", "NWScript"). The Script Shack and Modding Tools sections contain tutorials and tool releases. When the wiki documents a format or tool, DeadlyStream threads often provide real-world modder reports (e.g. which 2DA columns are safe to add, TSLPatcher setup gotchas). Cite threads in "See also" or "Further reading" when they are the best source for a given detail.
- LucasForums Container / LucasForums Archive: Use for historical and authoritative context. The original TSLPatcher thread (Stoffe, etc.), KotOR Tool discussions, and early GFF/2DA explanations live in these archives. Search by keyword (e.g. "2da", "GFF", "TSLPatcher") in the Editing/Modding or Holowan Laboratories sections. Content may be fragmented across Wayback reconstructions; when a thread is cited, prefer stable archive URLs.
- Reddit (r/kotor): Useful for installation help, troubleshooting, and links to DeadlyStream or this wiki. For format or engine-level accuracy, prefer this wiki and the format pages; for "how do I install X" or "why does my mod conflict with Y", community posts can complement the docs.
This wiki aims to consolidate and cite that knowledge where relevant. When adding or refining format or tool pages, prefer linking to authoritative specs (e.g. KEY-File-Format, GFF-File-Format, official BioWare Aurora docs) and to PyKotor/vendor implementation paths; for community consensus or historical context, link to DeadlyStream threads or LucasForums archive threads where appropriate. For very old format or tool history when other sources do not cover it, use the Holowan Laboratories (see Community Sources and Archives).
