INFINITY ENGINE TALK TABLE EDITOR

WEBSITE: http://www.blackwyrmlair.net/Tools/tlkeditor.php

I finished its development a few months ago, but could not release it so far. Now I have made the documentation, so TLKEditor is ready to work with your dialog.tlk-s.
Please inform me if you encounter any problem/bug while using this program.

• This program is based on BWL's Talk Table Viewer. It contains all of TLKViewer's functions, but also offers services related to talk table editing.
  Works with all of the IE games (BG1, PST, IWD, BG2, IWD2), including all of their official expansions and unofficial mods
• Can view and edit talk table (TLK) files. You can edit already existing strings and create new ones. You can edit the sound resource references as well.
• TLKAssistant gives access to the editor functions. Every function can also be activated by using hotkeys. You can undo your changes on each string separately. You can also truncate the TLK file.
• Customisable browser window to display the string (font, font color & size, background color), displays the offset, length, type, sound reference, volume variance and pitch variance of the string
• Fast and powerful search engine with several settings (complex search with multiple search terms, highlight results, case sensitivity, whole words, length-oriented and absolute search method, search from a certain string, theoretically unlimited number of results, search is interruptable by user)
• Technical statistics of your TLK file (average string length, longest string, number of strings by type, number of strings by their size, size map and string size graphs)
• Text statistics of your TLK file (occurances of user-defined words/expressions)
• TLK to TXT export (instant raw export, guided export with various settings)
• Configuration (your last used settings are stored and remembered when the program is run next time, auto-load last opened file when the program starts, button to load last opened file)

I have found the problem. BG2 (and possibly other IE games) doesn't interpret the CR/LF (carriege return/linefeed) characters in the usual way when reading from the talk table file. I'll alter the relevant functions.

I didn't notice this when developing TLKEditor because I made my tests with BG1 and it doesn't seem to have any problems in this respect.

I will release a newer version of TLKEditor as soon as possible. Thanks a lot for your report, Vlad!
