This utility will add colors to the new (1.68) visible cloaks in NWN data files. It will work on saved games, modules, character files, etc., and it will automatically create backups. If you find a file type that I missed, let me know.
Currently, it is known that this utility will not work on database files (because they have a different format than other NWN files) and Premium Modules (because they are encrypted).
Players may find this useful for updating saved games and older modules. Builders may find this useful for updating modules. System admins may find this useful for updating server vault characters.
If your saved game or module uses an old hak that overrides baseitems.2da, then you may lose the colors the next time you load your file. If this happens, check out my Cloak Hakker.
The current version of this utility no longer requires that files be saved under NWN 1.68. This required a new approach, in which more things could go wrong. To be on the safe side, I've made an older version (0.3) available. This older version only works on files saved under 1.68, but might work if the current version fails. (Note: modules could be tricky with this older version since the Toolset only updates those areas that have changed.) If the current version does fail, please let me know.
You can drag files from Windows Explorer into the Cloak Converter window.
Control-o is now a shortcut for opening a file.
If there's something missing, or you encounter a bug, let me know.
There is also Cloak Converter for Mac and Linux, although the Windows version should work well enough under Wine.
The_Krit deserves the praise. Great programs you put out for this burning issue with cloaks. Should have submitted a comment and a vote long ago. See you around the self help desk. Ub.

Is there something special about 25? O:-) Thanks to everyone. Maybe this will motivate me back to getting out a Mac version.

Really nice to be able to dye cloaks in older mods!

very easy to use little tool that makes playing an old save or a pre 1.68 mod much nicer! The auto-backup feature is also handy so that there's always the opportunity to revert changes.

I can't believe I forgot to vote for this! A must-have tool, it really makes a huge difference, and saves an incredible amount of work! Well done!

Pretty much good.

It works perfectly! I hated those awful tan cloaks, and your converter is very easy to use.
