Your steam exe has been modified. Do you have a backup of the original steam exe?

Okay that's even weirder. I tried running this, and it errored out. Said "unsupported Steam EXE hash". Now what?

I think I may know what's going on. https://j0-o.github.io/kotor2converter/ use this to convert your vanilla steam (not the DS editable executable) and try with the exe it outputs.

Yeah, it still looks like this. One slot is missing (Handmaiden), and the other missing slot is for Mira/Hanharr because I haven't recruited them yet. (Disciple's slot was also missing until I recruited him.)

Does your party select screen still look like this? Or does it have the additional 2 portrait slots?

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll try that, but I worry it'll mess up my TSCRCM/M4-78 mods and such. Will edit post to say how it goes. Edit: File verification is done. It reacquired 19 files, and now the patcher appears to be working (in the state where it's not showing all patches, like before). It could install the patch without displaying errors. (And if I try loading a save file it's back to the correct UI but Handmaiden is missing.)

KotOR Patch Manager is specific about which game versions and the executables it supports. This is one of the reasons I still keep the PartySwap item as an optional add-on even with the existence of the Full Party Select patch; in case a player is unable to use KotOR Patch Manager and the Full Party Select patch, they still have the PartySwap item add-on to fall back to so they can continue to add Handmaiden to their party after Disciple joins. Can you try to verify integrity of game files of your KotOR 2 game on Steam, and see what happens?

Huh. That's odd. I replaced the executable with the backup of the original, and now the patcher lists more mods. But now it's showing an error that the mods do not support my game version. So I then tried replacing the executable with the original AGAIN, and it started behaving as before; patcher could install mods without error, but as I realized in this brief oddity, it's not actually showing the full patch list. Edit: Tried repeating the process again, and now I'm back to it showing the full list of patches but says it doesn't support my game version.

This means that KotOR Patch Manager does not support the editable executable, so you still need the executable from your original Steam game. Can you restore the original executable and try to apply the Full Party Select patch again?

Done. However when I opened the patch manager for step 5... it says it loaded the patch list but none of them showed up. Even when I tried reselecting the EXE file and patch folder, and using the refresh option.

@NovaPolaris Try these steps: Open KotOR Patch Manager and uninstall all patches with the "Uninstall All" button at the bottom. Make a backup of your game executable (swkotor2.ext). Download KOTOR 2 Editable Executable from Deadly Stream. Replace your game executable with the downloaded one. Open KotOR Patch Manager and apply the Full Party Select patch again.

Crud, I missed that! I'm sorry. >_< When I installed it, it said everything installed successfully, no errors, as far as I could see. And just in case, same thing for PartySwap. Appeared to install successfully with no errors.

@NovaPolaris You have not answered this question I asked you: When you used KotOR Patch Manager and applied the Full Party Select Patch, did KotOR Patch Manager say at the bottom that the patches are applied successfully

This is what it looks like for me.

Can you share a screenshot of what your party selection screen looks like in-game?

It's the Steam version. Sorry I didn't think to list that, that's important. >_< (Also I'm not using Steam Workshop mods, already dealt with that in previous troubleshooting.) And yes I did put the file there. That's what I meant about the party select UI working but Handmaiden is missing.

@NovaPolaris Which platform are you playing KotOR 2 on: Steam, GOG or somewhere else? When you used KotOR Patch Manager and applied the Full Party Select Patch, did KotOR Patch Manager say at the bottom that the patches are applied successfully? After applying the Full Party Select patch, did you follow through my instructions by putting the partyselect_p.gui file from the "FullPartySelect additional files" folder of KotOR Patch Manager's patch folder into your KotOR 2 game's override folder? Putting the partyselect_p.gui file in your KotOR 2 game's override folder is required to make the changes made by the Full Party Select patch actually show up in game, and allowing you to see and directly select Handmaiden in the party selection screen after Disciple joins your party.

I'm fairly new to posting here, so I hope it isn't bad to post asking for help like this. >_< Been getting a vexing issue with PartySwap and FullPartySelect, and I still don't know why it's happening despite all the troubleshooting I've done so far. Reinstalled the game and mods (TSLRCM + M4-78, PartySwap, FullPartySelect, as well as Train the Handmaiden and Train the Disciple) multiple times in troubleshooting attempts, and did my best to make sure the install order is correct, but the best I've gotten so far is being able to recruit both Handmaiden and Disciple (they both joined, and are both on the ship and interactable), and getting the party select UI working (making sure the loose file is installed). The problem is that no matter what I do so far, I can't get Handmaiden to show up in the party select, even when it looks like I got FullPartySelect working. I've tried loading earlier saves, such as before recruiting Disciple, but she vanishes from the menu after that too. Please may it not be something like "you have to start a new playthrough".

This is a more accurate description # K1SE — KOTOR Script Extender Okay, this one's been a long time coming. K1SE lets your KOTOR 1 scripts do things the base game flat-out refused to allow. If you've ever stared at NWScript wondering why you couldn't just hand a character a feat and have it *stick*, welcome aboard. ## The good stuff **Permanently grant or remove feats.** This is the headline. You write a feat right onto a character and it survives saves and reloads. The base game has no way to ever remove an array feat, and K1SE gives you one. It's a one-way road by design, so mess around with it on a junk save before you trust it in a real mod. **Rewrite skills and saving throws on the fly.** Push a creature's skill ranks around, bump their Fortitude, Reflex, or Will base saves, and it all persists. **KOTOR 2 functions, running in KOTOR 1.** GetFeatAcquired, AdjustCreatureSkills, the whole Modify*SavingThrowBase family. That engine code was sitting inside K1 the entire time. K1SE just calls it. **A real data store.** String-keyed key/value storage you make up as you go, instead of wrestling with the game's handful of pre-declared globals. It lives in memory for the session. Want some integer math helpers? You've got min, max, clamp, sign, popcount, integer square root and power, and a proper Euclidean mod. Quick heads up so nobody yells at me later: KOTOR's NWScript already has bitwise operators (&, |, ^, ~, <<, >>) and sqrt/pow/abs baked right in, so the bitwise wrappers here are pure convenience. The character-writing stuff up top is the real magic. There's also a version check and a diagnostic log, so your scripts can tell whether K1SE is even installed, and so bug reports actually mean something. ## What you need KOTOR 1, the Steam version. That's the whole list. K1SE is a single binkw32.dll you drop in. No launcher, no installer wizard, none of that nonsense. ## Read this part, seriously I've only tested K1SE on the Steam build. When it starts up it fingerprints your game, and if it doesn't recognize what it's looking at, it quietly switches itself off and leaves everything alone. Your saves are safe. That's on purpose. So if you're on GOG, a disc copy, a patched exe, or a localized build, it won't run yet. It'll tell you why in the log. If that's you and you want to help, come say hi on the Discord and send that log over. That's genuinely how the supported list grows. And because it matters: the feat, skill, and saving-throw functions change characters permanently and write to your save. Test on a throwaway save first. I mean it. ## Getting it running (takes a minute) 1. Open your KOTOR folder, the one with swkotor.exe. On Steam that's right-click the game, Manage, Browse local files. 2. Find the binkw32.dll that's already there and rename it to binkw32_real.dll. 3. Drop K1SE's binkw32.dll in its place. 4. Toss kse.nss wherever your script compiler looks for includes. 5. Fire up the game. K1SE drops a log at %LOCALAPPDATA%\KSE\kse.log, and the top few lines tell you if it loaded. ## Links and help Everything (downloads, full docs, the source) is up here: https://github.com/Brotaku-Vengeant/Kotor-Script-Extender-Public- Something broken or acting weird? Post in the Discord and paste your kse.log. It tells us what happened almost instantly. I've had it running for a 7+ hour stretch under constant script hammering with zero crashing or slowdown, so go build something ridiculous with it.
