SSFEdit User Guide

SSFEdit is a small editor for KotOR and The Sith Lords soundset files (.ssf). It lets you connect each soundset slot to a line in dialog.tlk, or add a brand-new TLK line and assign it to the slot you selected.

This wiki is written for people who want to use the app, not for people who want to maintain the code.

What SSFEdit helps you do

• Open an existing soundset file.
• Start a new blank soundset.
• Choose which TLK line each soundset slot should use.
• Add a brand-new TLK entry when no existing line fits.
• Save the updated TLK and SSF files.

Before you start

• Work on copies of your game files, not the only copy you have.
• Have the correct dialog.tlk file ready before you begin.
• Remember that adding a new TLK line changes the TLK file as well as the SSF file.
• Expect a fixed list of 40 soundset slots. SSFEdit does not add extra slots.
