Okay, so many people are having issues with this, AND are complaining about it being so long and not explained will. I will be redoing this video with actual talking very soon as in within the next day or so.
great, but.... why like 6 minutes? why can't you just record yourself doing it, instead of typing at snail pace and keep correcting mistakes? not to say im not grateful, but it just seems like a needlessly long way of doing something that could easily fit into a minute.
@Pariah156 but...why? im not hating but most people aren't into metal (or whatever ridiculously named sub genre) and will mute it and sit there in silence watching you type at 1 word a minute.
If so, then the folder you downloaded the game into from Steam should contain the config file. KotOR calls all user GUI preferences for when the game loads, so it should be in there. If not let me know and I'll figure it out.
Thanks for the tip. And, also, I ran into the problem of there not being an option for compatibility files option, so just look through the local AppData and you should find it there.
Yea, i removed it and reinstalled the game and it no longer shows for me either. Why? I can't figure it out. But rest assured I'll get to work on getting the files to work.
People seeing this, I seem to be getting alot of complaints about the 'Compatibility Files" tab. Well, I am going to re-record this a simpler way. Be on the lookout.
depends what kotor you are playing, if it is two, then when you press the key for entering cheats, it's not visible. google up kotor cheats and look for the gamespot page, that has a giant list, also there are a list of mods you can do to the game to get extra features. what style keyboard are you using, maybe i could figure out your tilde key problem
I do everithing you siad but still it dont work. I have wind7 and the disk but a different keyboard than you do. Were this is '~' on your theres something else on mine besides I'm sort of a computer n00b...... Sad moment.
Let's see here, when you bought the game, then you had to download it to install it. When you did that, it downloaded to a directory somewhere on your computer. If you cannot find it, in the Windows Explorer, search up the file swkotor.ini <---The file you will be editing.
@Pariah156 Sigh... it doesnt matter anymore.... i finaly found it, when i went to play it stops working either on costom screen, id have to reset computer, or 5 minutes in play, i uninstaled, reinstaled.... the disk is purfectly unscrstched, so it must just hate my computer... ive checked it out, my computer has a lot of space, and such. /sigh...
ok here is a tip for you. do a complete uninstall. Once done with that, click start, on the sidebar where it says COmputer, right click that, click manage. When the prompt comes up to allow or deny, click allow. When the screen comes up, look under the tab called "Storage" then click on Disk Managment. After that, look at the disks on your HDD(Hard drive). You should have one for default C:\ drive, the bootable, and primary partition.
My computer came with an extra partition, asside from the recovery partition.
To make a partition like the one i have, right click on the C:\ partition, and click shrink.
Follow the Wizard on shrinking it. Depending on how much disk space you have left, only shrink what u need. If you have enough space to take 30GB off your C:\ partition, do so. After you have done that, right click the new unused space, and click new partition. asign it a drive letter. eg H:\. Make it an NTFS.
Create it, then you have a new partition drive. Install KOTOR again, this time use the advanced custom install, set the install location to that of the partition you just created. There you go.
hey man, ok when you do that, cut and paste it onto your desktop first. then type and save it. then just cut and paste back into the kotor directory, then you should be good to go man.
thanks man!u rule!!!!!!p.s.i did it but when i type in the cheats i have it says "could not find cheat"or something like that.do u type in something like"give item"before the cheat???????????/
i see you got it to work. when you type a cheat for a gun or saber, yes you must use give. to aid you in this i looked up the cheats myself. I'll post it for you.
hey man, thanks for the comment, and look in the directory you saved your game in.
for example mine is under C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic\saves you chould have something in there like AUTOSAVE folder and 000001 - Game1 folder. the numbers are just the number of saves you have in the game. If it is empty look under this directory: C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic\saves.
RPS362 and MicroScope888, if u don't see that, try this path:
C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. Now this will only work if u used Automatic Install. But just look for swkotor.ini with that path, if you do not find it let me know.
Holy shit! I couldn't mute it fast enough.

The problem is, that when I enter a cheat such as "addintelligence100" it appears "Function not found" and so with all cheat so I can not use any...
