Blog #115 Explanation of Glyph Changes in my TJM Mod

I recently made an upscale and minor tweak compilation to the most of the textures in Trex's The Jedi Master mod.  (You can find that compilation here if you're looking.) On the bridge of the BEG's ship, there were (are are) many mysterious glyphs seen throughout the bridge itself and the rest of the level.  I though I might go over the changes I made to the textures.  Admittedly, part of this is so I can point out some detail work in this. But mostly, it's so I can explain my reasoning in

Blog #114 - The Lost Skyboxes

Sometimes in modding, things don't go as planned. Here are two examples of what might had been if circumstances were different. 1. The Lost BOSSR Skybox In a flashback scene that you as the player aren't just a witness but also an active participant, you fight the previous Mandalore on his capital ship.  In the background through the bridge windows, there's a battle raging.  On one side, there's the Republic Fleet.  On the other side, the mighty Mandalorian fleet which as it currently

Extra Lightsaber Colors Update

Hi everyone! I am extremely excited to announce my Extra Saber Colors mod has been updated to include five new colors: chartreuse, inidgo, magenta, cyan, and orange! These were inspired by JC's Extra Saber Colors but I decided to add some in of my own. They are all compatible with and use Crazy34's new blade system. It took me awhile to figure out, but after trial and error I was able to edit the blade textures and models from Crazy34's modder's resource and to my delight they worked perfec

The largest KotOR mod archive ever

There have been three major repositories of KotOR mods: PCGamemods.com between about 2004-2006, KotORFiles, between about 2007-2012, and DeadlyStream. PCGamemods.com tapped out at around 750 mods for KotOR and 800 for TSL, or roughly about 1550 mods total. KotORFiles'counter stopped working at 1978 files for both games. Today, DeadlyStream has 1200 KotOR files, and 1184 TSL files. This makes it the largest KotOR modding repository ever! 🎉

Workaround for the limited number of body model slots in KOTOR and TSL

Trying to add multiple additional player armor models in KOTOR and TSL almost always results in a mod conflict due to the limited number or body model slots/columns in appearance.2da and the game not recognizing new columns added to the table. Few mods, such as Jedi Hermit Robes by DarthParametric add new robes as disguises, but from what I’ve seen this method is not popular, because it requires creating .uti file and additional line in appearance.2da for each possible player/party member h

Merging Levels

Merging Levels So I got distracted while fixing some holes in the level geometry for Manaan and realised some of the games levels could be easily combined into one. Currently I am not sure what I plan to do with this but these are the three levels I have put together.   Endar Spire This actually needed a little editing to get it to fit properly, but it was very close to being perfect when imported to begin with.   Taris Sewers This level also n

Another missing Sleheyron level.

Just yesterday I noticed some chatter and Wizard, the author of KotORModSync and a co-author working on the Holocron Toolset found some more missing level files from a Sleheyron level. The model files are the following. crossgob.mdl/mdx hal01gob.mdl/mdx hal02gob.mdl/mdx hal03gob.mdl/mdx hal04gob.mdl/mdx So I took it upon myself to try and reconstruct it, the results are far from adequate but I haven't put that much time into it yet. This is the level viewed in B

Musings on Etiquette

So . . . how have you all been?  It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog.  How are you?  Oh, how am I?  Let’s go over some current events as recent as [checking watch] today and see why i am posting! I have been modding for several years now.  My policy on mods has changed throughout the years but can be currently be seen as: Don’t upload my stuff on the Steam Workshop and please don’t upload anything on the Nexus site as I may do so myself in the future. Whether you like my mods or n

My Kotor Machinimas

Hello, it's been a while since the beginning of the year, but I finally finished the machinima I was working on and I just wanted to share it here. I spent 3+ years on this since I first started it soon after the covid hit the world. Obviously I didn't work every single month on it but still it took way longer than expected. It's a second part to another machinima I did back on summer 2015 when I first started modding Kotor. Since then I learned a lot about the game and really put to use th

Blog #113: Ebon Hawk Light Fixture

I've been working on something and talking about it in private channels. I thought I'd ramble about it a bit more publicly now.  As you've guessed from the blog's title, I'll be chatting about the Ebon Hawk light fixture. (Exciting, I know.) You most likely know which texture that I'm referring to but for clarity's sake, it's this one: BioWare back in day seemed to like to source their designs from real world things and I think I've figured out where they got this design from.

Blog #112: The KotOR1 Warp Code List

Originally, I cribbed the original form of this list from the internet.  However, after I made the The TSL Warp Code List, I knew I would have to make a list for the KotOR1 warp codes.  I already had the BOS:SR codes but realized that the list would be compiled much faster with the community’s help. This list and the TSL list, are living lists: if new codes are found (or introduced by way of new mods), they can be added.  As with the TSL list, new codes will be attributed in the main post.

Blog #111: The TSL Warp Code List

Originally I cribbed this list from the internet to assist me when I was making my Loading Screen Mods for TSL.  However, after I made the Replacement Loading Screens for KotOR2: Add-On Pack for those new areas, I wound up adding those warp codes to my own list.  I was recently asked about Brotherhood of Shadow warp codes on Discord recently - yes, I know it's a different game - and it reminded me of my TSL Warp Code list. So now I post it here.  If you find errors, please let me know.  If you h

Sometimes the Best Solution Is the Simplest: KotOR Modding Edition

I just learned the hard way that the phrase "sometimes the best solution is the simplest" can apply to KotoR modding as well. After the initial release of my KotOR 1 No Gendered Dialogue from Male NPCs mod, I was planning on adding another installation option to remove Holdan and Tanis Venn from the game entirely. I had spent a considerable amount of time and energy to figure out how to do it without causing bugs, and I want those changes to be made by setting up TSLPatcher to patch relevan
