This is a C# program which displays 2da files in a grid format, allowing viewing and editing, (copy, insert, and delete). It requires the .Net 2.0 framework in order to run.
version 1.16
Corrected display of row numbers 10000+
Excellent utility. I don't think you could want any other features when manipulating 2DA files. Kudos to the author!

To clarify my previous comments regarding column auto fill, the new column header, (label), needs to be added with notepad. The fields will automatically be added to the 2da file when opened by NWN_2daEditor.

The_Puppeteer, I added the column auto fill option to address the issue of newer 2da files having extra columns. The columns will initially have **** for all field values. To change a new column's fields to another value, e.g. 1, select the column by left clicking the column label, then do a replace all with the all selected option to replace **** with 1.

This is indispensable for merging various haks together. The compare function great and it will automatically format text files and repair some broken 2das that tlkedit2 won't open. I actually use this tool, notepad and tlkedit2 at the same time when handling larger projects. Each program has its own strengths and I can work so much faster with all three utilities. My only criticism about this tool is that it won't add extra columns. I've had to do some heavy manual editing to fix appearance.2da since I failed to notice that some of the pre SoZ haks were minus one column due to an SoZ upgrade. But then the other programs wouldn't do that for me either. _________________________ Co-founder of the PW (open beta) Sea of Dragons.

Exactly what I was looking for, a simple straight forward program to make a simple edit to a 2da file - works perfectly, looks slick, and is simple and easy to use.

MCMunroe, My itempropdef.2da also fails, but at row 91 : 91 **** padding **** **** **** **** **** **** The last column, Slots, is missing, resulting in the error Field count does not match the header count My row 84 looks like this : 84 84321 ArcaneSpellFailure **** 2 27 **** 84346 84347 1 We must be using differnt versions. I have MOB, with the latest patch. Rows 91 thru 126 are padding lines. Anyway, if your line 84 is a padding line, you will need to add the missing column with notepad. This will need to be done for all rows missing the last column. If you add rows in notepad, 2daEditor will automatically renumber them if you Open/Save the file.
