TSL Korriban Academy Module 702KOR: RIM Files Only?

Recommended Posts

I always wondered why both TSLRCM and M4-78 use RIM files for 702/703KOR rather than using MODs like for every other module. Having just tried testing something in 702KOR using a MOD, it seems like this doesn't work properly for the academy module, for some reason? The module loads, but things like cutscenes are broken. It's not an insurmountable problem, as TSLPatcher can patch RIMs I gather, but I am curious as to the cause.

Aren't some of the modules saved only as RIM files? When I was looking at the modules in KOTOR tool, not every module was a .mod file. There were a few .rim files in there. Don't they usually work the same?

This is the reason.

I don't believe anyone ever figured out a reason why they're broken in a MOD.

As far as I know, yes, it's only that specific module. I never found out why, but if anyone knows or has any ideas, I'd love to hear it.

After spending 5 minutes on this issue (so take this with a grain of salt) I've determined there is no .MOD issue (at least with 702KOR). The issue you guys were experiencing is a bug in KOTOR Tool or ERFEdit or whatever tool you used to create the .mod.

Using Holocron Toolset to create the .mod worked fine. I've tested the whole module with one of @Leilukin's light side saves, start->finish, no sequence breaks.

Probably the same problem in 401DXN
