TOH file format
Applies to:
BG2, BG2: ToB, IWD, IWD:HoW, IWD:TotL
General Description
This file format serves a similar purpose (and has a similar structure to) TLK files. The files work in conjunction with TOT files, and can be used to override text from dialog.tlk. The files are contained in the SAV files in the savegame folders.
IWD: TOT files are used to edit the character biographies during the game (when the characters are not exported)
BG2: TOT files are used to store all custom players comments inside game e.g. custom waypoints on the area map, custom notes in the journal and character biographies
