Kolto Tank: in development

  • Status: In development

    Kolto Tank

    KotOR in your browser, with mods, a debugger and TAS tools.

    Language
    TBD
    Source
    Not public yet

    We're building Kolto Tank to run KotOR I and II in a web browser, with a library of mods and extensions, a full debugger and TAS tools. It's in development and not open to the public yet.

    You bring your own game. You'll link a copy from Steam, GOG or Amazon, or upload your own files. Kolto Tank doesn't include the game.

    Features

    • Add mods and extensions from inside the app; updates arrive without a reinstall
    • A full debugger
    • TAS tools
    • Link your game from Steam, GOG or Amazon, or upload your own files
    • Phones, tablets and TVs are planned. None of them work yet

Released tools

  • kotor-formatsused by 2 projects

    Status: Releasedv0.1.0

    Readers and writers for the Odyssey engine file formats used by Knights of the Old Republic I and II.

    Three tools were each carrying their own copy of the KotOR I and II byte layouts, free to drift apart. These Rust crates are the one copy they all read from. Small on purpose, so each tool takes only what it needs: kotor-ncs-isa (the NCS instruction set as data), kotor-ncs (NCS read/write plus a decompiler built on the DeNCS algorithm), kotor-formats (GFF, 2DA, TLK, SSF, ERF/RIM) and kotor-diff (structural comparison).

    Features

    • Byte-exact round trips: type tags, field widths, raw labels and padding are preserved, not normalised
    • Lossless text: a total Latin-1 mapping, so encode(decode(x)) == x for all 256 byte values
    • Strict by default, accepting what TSLPatcher accepted; opt-in leniency for read-only tools
    • Errors in the (GFF-1) / (2DA-8) form mod authors already know from install logs
    • Early: the API is not stable yet, so depend on a git tag

    Install

    • cargocargo add kotor-formats --git https://github.com/kolto-labs/kotor-formats

    Built on kotor-formats

    • Status: Releasedv0.3.0

      kq

      Query a Knights of the Old Republic installation like it was plain text.

      kq is a command-line tool, separate from Kolto Tank. kq treats a KotOR or TSL game folder as structured, searchable data. It reads the archives in place, so nothing gets extracted first. Questions work the way rg works on a source tree and jq works on JSON. Start with kq which: every copy of a resource in engine resolve order, with a star on the copy the game actually loads.

      Features
      • which: every copy of a resource in engine resolve order (Override, modules, BIFs), with the loaded copy starred
      • cat: GFF, 2DA, TLK, SSF, NCS (decompiled to NSS), MDL, walkmeshes and more as an outline, gron lines, JSON or raw bytes
      • grep: regex search over decoded contents; hits are field paths, not byte offsets
      • delta, patch and merge: structural diffs and three-way merges of decoded resources
      • graph: an inventory of used, unused and overshadowed resources in an install
      • JSON and JSONL output plus stable exit codes, so scripts can branch on results
      • Works on a full install, a single module, or a folder of loose files
      Install
      • cargocargo install --git https://github.com/kolto-labs/kq --locked
