Awakening: a way to edit tooltips/descriptions?


Recommended Posts

The mod Detailed Tooltips edits the tooltips for the pre-Awakening abilities, to give more detailed information about spells and such. I would like to do this for Awakening. The author of Detailed Tooltips said at the time that he was able to edit the tooltips for Awakening, but that he had no way of finding out what the stats and mechanics were for Awakening, so he never did it.

Now that much of the information about stats and mechanics is available on the Wikia, I would like to add this information in the Awakening tooltips. I found a file that contains descriptions when you examine it with the toolset; but, when I edit the descriptions, save the file, and restart the game, nothing changes in the game.

The file I found is: core_ep1_en-us.tlk
Detailed Tooltips puts core_en-us.tlk in the Override folder, so I thought this could be it for Awakening. And, indeed, I was able to locate the spell descriptions in this file; entry 19, for example, has the description for the Keeper spell "Replenishment"! However, nothing changes when I edit the description, save the file, and restart the game: the old tooltip is still displayed.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Of course you are welcome to give it a try yourself! I'm a total noob, and I don't understand programming or the toolset at all...
