Hi All, I was using the Yavin planet mod and while I like the look of the new robes that were added in Exar Kun's tomb, I was kinda hoping I could switch the "star forge robes" and "dark lord/darth revan's robes" back to their original models and textures. It was easy enough to do this for the female version; the model of the robes looks the same so all I had to do was move the texture file to a different location (I didn't delete it, don't worry). I could do the same thing with the icons for the robes. The male version is a bit trickier though, since the robes are using a different model (same as the sith governor/master robes). I'm assuming this is tied to the .uti files for this? I attempted to relocate what I thought was the associated uti file (g_a_mstrrobe06.uti in this case) like I did before, but that didn't change anything. Am I supposed to edit something else instead? I thought maybe baseitems.2da might have something I could look at but I couldn't find anything relating to the robes there.

View File [Modders Resource] K1/2 Kreia's hood and K2 Bookshelf/Elevator placeable This is a modder's resource of some stuff I made using blender and KOTOR 2 assets for the mod "Echoes of the Republic" that I thought might be useful to someone who might want to save a little time making something like this themselves. In this folder are some modders resources. 1included are two hood mods: 1. for KOTOR 1 that contains a black hood made from Kreia's hood 2. for KOTOR 2 that contains two hoods made from Kreia's hood, one brown one black. Also included are two placeables mdls/mdx for KOTOR 2. A Jedi archive bookshelf made from Dantooine's Jedi Temple An elevator made from Peragus's elevators. The placeables work fine but they are a little wonky to place at first. NOTE: The placeables need the user to create the proper entry into the 2da files and create a utp file. This is purely a modder's resource. The hoods are playable, though they have no icons. Feel free to use these modders resources in your projects however you want. If you want to credit me, that would be cool. All assets were made from KOTOR 2, and so credit to Obsidian Entertainment/LucasFilm/Disney. This couldn't have been possible without KOTOR Blender.

The idea of using a voice impressionist for HK was brought up, that could be a viable option. And I agree that putting the Star Map inside the Temple would be a better option, but only if it doesn't create bigger issues that would require significant reworking of quests, encounters, triggers. I mean, if its something within the realms of what we can accomplish, then we should do it. But I don't think the story would suffer if we decided it was too much trouble and chose to leave it in its original location. For me, the most important goal for this project is preserving player immersion in KotOR and extending the storytelling framework BioWare created, allowing players to form their own interpretations about the story rather than providing definitive answers. For example, my theory is that the Rakata came to Tatooine because they were drawn to the Sarlacc through the Force. They enslaved the Sand People who worshipped it and used them to build the temple around it in an attempt to study and harness its unique connection to the Force for their own ambitions. This ultimately led to the Sarlacc to retaliate, using it's own force abilities to infect the Rakata with the plague, and abandoning the pit of it's own accord. That is only my interpretation, however. I don't think the mod should force players to accept any one theory as canon. One of KotOR's greatest strengths is that it provides enough negative space for players to think and choose the direction of the story themselves. I think expanding the Sand People storyline is important, but I would prefer it to support the larger Rakatan storyline rather than become its primary focus. To me, the temple works best when it complements Revan's search for the Star Maps. And the last thing I wanted to mention is creating a new name for the Sarlacc. One name that came to me was "Shlaa-Kalek", to be the Rakatan name for Sarlacc, that eventually was simplified to just "Sarlacc" in Galactic Basic. Translating into "cursed bride" in-universe But I see that there is another name "Bar'baloth", which appears to come from a Gnostic divine entity known as the Mother of Creation, and The Immortal Womb. (greatly oversimplified explanation lol) I like both options and think both are interesting and fitting. But I also think that creating a new name for the Sarlacc might feel a bit too "fan-fictiony", and that explicitly naming it isn't necessary for the story we are trying to tell. Ultimately, I think the strongest version of the story is one that answers just enough questions to deepen the mystery, while still leaving room for players to come up with their own explanations.

@N-DReW25I really like most of these ideas. Keep in mind tho with the idea of a hologram assuming Tatooine is still a green world, this would contradict the dantooine temple listing this map as one of the three barren worlds, somehow the maps are able to relate updated data back and forth to each other. I guess you could edit the puzzle on dantooine but that might just get confusing at that point. I would also prefer the map to be in the temple as well but I think that should be something saved for a very last version of the mod and focus on everything else first, it’s a small change in theory but adds a lot of work. Im pretty sure the Calo Nord appearance at least is triggered by the star map activation, the camera angle shows him spawning into the bike once the star map is activated and not just running forward from what I tested. I think Bandon is different but with Calo this is what I think is the case. Not impossible things to remedy, but I think the work associated with simply moving a single placeable while being consistent and not incredibly buggy would warrant it being considered at a later date. Otherwise I’d agree that the temple would be a much better location. Finally, any additional dialogue with sand people will likely require HK47 to translate to be consistent with the rest of Tatooines plot but we don’t have any English dialogue for HK47 to help with that. I think our hopes for how much we can do with the sand people might need to be lowered for right now. maybe you could have HK translate another non-basic speaking aliens dialogue to the Tuskens explaining what the player did/wants, but idk at that point. Maybe you could have HK serve as an intermediary between Jawas and Sand People and you can tell HK which side to lean towards. You won’t need a translator for Jawas so the Jawa can tell you what’s going on in their language. Really rough idea tho, the language thing is tough to work around If you want HK to speak some “new” lines, I myself and others are not the biggest fan of AI voice replication so you may have to consider some pretty precise audio splicing work with current dialogue .

It would be possible to just make a new vision cutscene to replace the old one. The following is how I, a modder, would go about making it (and how it would be less daunting than you may think). Star Map visions depict the Star Map opening as the camera softly pans around it. To recreate this, you, or a volunteer modder, can follow the following steps to achieve this: 1) Install GLIntercept, activating this mod in-game will allow you to move the camera around freely. 2) Set the Star Map inside the Tatooine Temple so that it'll open if you click on it. 3) Download JC's Toolbox for K1 and specifically install JC's Invisible Disguises for K1. It adds an armband which can make the character completely invisible (not stealth mode, as in the player just isn't rendered at all). Equip this armband in-game. 4) Inside the module tat_m18ac, press Caps Lock on your keyboard to go into first person mode and type "warp m19aa" into the cheat console. Doing so will warp you into the Tatooine Temple and, due to a glitch, will disable your GUI so the mouse cursor, icons, portraits, menus, and everything else is rendered invisible. Pressing Caps Lock twice after this (going back into and out of first person mode) will undo this glitch. 5) Down and install the OBS Studio screen recorder. 6) With the invisibility armband and the glitch above in effect, the player and main menus cannot be seen. Move to and stand in front of the Star Map. 7) Slowly drag your cursor to the left using your mouse to cause the camera to pan in a circle around your camera. Since the Player is invisible, use GLIntercept to set your camera back a little bit so that it perfectly pans around the Star Map as it opens in the next step. 8,) When you are confident that you've set everything up properly, press record for OBS and click on the Star Map. Using the technique described above, pan the camera around the Star Map as it opens. Repeat until you're satisfied. 9) Using a video editor of your choosing, add a quick fade in and fade out from black at the beginning and end of the footage. If possible, add an overlay effect over the screen that resembles the vision effect from the original scene. If need be, mute the audio of your recording and outright rip the audio from the original vision and add it to your recording. Ensure that the recording is about 9 seconds long as per the original visions. 10) Convert your .MP4 file into a .BIK file. 11) Test in-game and see if it worked. Whilst many of us can agree that the Star Map needs to be inside the Temple, I think that we should not let the vision cutscene hold us back on creative freedom here. Even if we can't make the scene right now, we still have two options in our sleeves: 1) Make the Tatooine Temple with the Star Map in it, ensure that the Temple is the best it can possibly be, and either make, or have someone else make, the new vision scene later and last. 2) Add two installations, one has the Star Map in the cave and the other has the Star Map in the Temple. This'll appease everyone, those who hate the inconsistency/hate the new vision and those who want the Star Map in the Temple will both have what they want whilst angering none. What triggers are they? From what I can tell, the Player just clicks on the Star Map and the Star Map opens - it doesn't have any triggers. If the cave option is to be retained, I think this might be the best course of action as the Temple will still be required to continue the plotline. Even if the Star Map is removed, I'm sure those triggers will still work. I've been sharing with JuniorModder over Discord some ideas of my own on how these puzzles should be dealt (as I was the one who gave him the idea in the first place). After doing some testing, I have removed the barriers in the temple and have given the Player free reign over the Temple. However, as the Star Map is locked (either in the Saarlac room or in the Cave) then having free reign over the Temple isn't really a benefit as it would be in the current setup. Instead, runed Obelisks inside the Temple would have strange poems and forgotten lore of the Rakatta and their slave races etched into them and, through a combination of this lore and the Storyteller's Lore, the Player will be able to recite the answers to the Ancient Droid and, if spoken correctly, the Player will be able to unlock the Star Map. In my version of the lore, it is implied that the Rakattans moved the Sarlaac into the pit and used it as a site of religious worship and sacrifice. Around the pit I intend to add "sacrifice urns" that were used as sacrificial offerings though some of them will contain basic Lightsaber crystals as loot. The reason why there is no Sarlaac inside the pit is because it'll also be implied that the Rakatta "took it away" before they glassed the planet. Right now the working name for the Sarlaac is "Bar'baloth" and this Sarlaac, despite not being present, plays a religious role in Sand People and Jawa mythology which will be taught to the Player via the Sand Person Chieftan, Storyteller, and Iziz the Jawa. In the lore I'm working on, I have it so that it is the Jawa's outside the Temple who give the Player a third Krayt Dragon Pearl as a reward for clearing out the Temple (this might be exclusive to the DS ending wherein the Player encourages them to migrate into the Temple instead of leaving it). That is something I am considering. I intend to replace the Rakata either with this, or with a Hologram of a Rakata that thinks it is the real Rakata it is depicting when it isn't (imagine a Ronald Reagan AI thinking it is the real Ronald Reagan, that's what this'll be). The above where I suggested removing the barriers as part of the Temple questline would fix this. The following wall of text inside the spoiler below is what I sent to JuniorModder as to why I think the Rakata inside the Temple is a horrible idea: If this character could be replaced with the Ancient Droid, or a delusional hologram of a Rakata that thinks it is a Rakata even though it speaks Twi'lek or something, could remove many of the plot holes I talk about below. By removing the Rakata we need not worry about either porting or making weird Lightsaber designs. This would require voice acted VO, I think the Dantooine one where the droid cycles through slave alien VO would be better as it means we can just reuse VO and not create new ones. That, and the Party recognizes the Player can understand the Rakata on Lehon. If there is a Rakata on Tatooine that's a massive plot hole. The very first thing the Dantooine droid says is in Rakatan yet the Player does not understand. I think the timeline of events in regards to the Player understanding Rakatan goes like this: 3959 BBY > Revan uses the Force to rip the knowledge of the Rakatan language from the Rakata he/she encounters and uses the Force to make the Rakata understand basic, this is confirmed by The Elders and The One. 3957 BBY > Revan is captured and the Jedi Council wipe his/her mind, as a result the memory of being able to understand Rakatan is suppressed. Endar Spire, Taris, and Dantooine > the Player does not understand Rakatan as he/she has amnesia. Korriban > When the Player picks up the Wraith Box, even if it's the first planet, and gets zapped inside the Mind Prison Revan has remembered how to understand Rakatan again. The Imprisoned One implies that Rodians and other creatures got zapped into the box but couldn't understand the Imprisoned One and so ran into the void out of frustration. Lehon > The Player still remembers how to to understand Rakatan to which the Party will acknowledge this in dialogue. For this reason, the Player must be able to understand Rakatan but doing so will cause a plot hole as the Party will recognize this as they do on Lehon. By moving any such lore to the Ancient Droid or Hologram I propose we can keep both the lore and not have plot holes. Correct, perhaps if the Ancient Droid/Hologram believes that the planet is still green that'll serve as some real nice bit of lore for the mod. In my lore I removed the Tusken and all the Speederbikes, how on Earth would anyone get speeder bikes in there? I actually expanded the Jawa bit to have an entire encampment of Jawa's in that little area to compensate for her loss. More on them will be detailed down below. I think a simple conditional after completing the puzzles would work here, it'll function similar to the Kashyyyk Star Map this way. I actually proposed this to JuniorModder but he doesn't like the idea as it reminds him of the plotline of the book series/movie "Dune", however, I'll share my ideas on the matter. Gaining the Eastern Dune Sea Map from either the Sand People Chieftan or Iziz the Jawa should make it clear that the Star Map is inside the Temple whilst the Sand Person Chief in particular talks about how the Temple is taboo in Sand People culture as, not only does the Krayt Dragon guard it, but the God "Bar'baloth" and her "Child" dwell in there and those who go in never return. He goes on to imply that the one who goes in there and defeats Bar'baloth and the Child will go on to become the Sand Person Messiah who'll unify the Sand People under their rule and drive out the invaders. Bar'baloth is the Sarlaac whilst the "Child of Bar'baloth" is actually a Terentatek that is residing inside the Temple. Do note that this particular Terentatek was missed during the Great Hunt that wiped them out and so you'll be able to tell Deesra Luur Jada on Dantooine about how you killed it on Tatooine. Inside an Obelisk as loot you'll find the Saarlac Tooth and from the remains of the Terentatek you'll get a hide of some kind to prove that you killed it. If you were to give both to the Sand Person Chief you'll be proclaimed the Messiah, the Tribe will make plans to migrate into the Temple, you'll be given free reign to loot their belongings, and you won't be able to kill them after this as they'll go through great lengths to prevent you from pissing them off. The Sand Person Chief will imply that he expects you to return after the Star Forge quest to help them drive Czerka off of Tatooine. Proclaiming yourself as the Messiah is a Dark Side ending because the Temple and the Star Map are of the Dark Side and so having them migrate into the Temple is a bad thing (imagine giving the uncontacted Sentinel Islander tribe the One Ring from the Lord of the Rings for example) and having Sand People migrate into the Cave puts the Jawa camp already in there in danger. If you give the Sand Person Chief the Saarlac Tooth and lie about not being able to kill the Terentatek then you'll prevent the Sand People from going there but you won't be proclaimed the Messiah. The Jawa camp I keep talking about got down there because the Jawa's are small enough, and knowledgeable enough of the geography of Tatooine, to have squeezed through the tight cracks on the surface to sneak into the cave system without going near the Krayt Dragon. The reason they're outside the Temple and not in the Temple is because the Terentatek/Ancient Droids keep killing them when they go in there. After the Player defeats the Terentatek the Player can encourage them to stay in the cave which is Dark Side or leave the cave which is Light Sided. As a reward for killing the Terentatek, the Jawa's leader (which I've made a Chadra-Fan) will give a Krayt Dragon Pearl as a reward. I agree with this, though with my Bar'baloth Saarlac lore I've mentioned the idea that the Rakatans "moved it" out of there could imply that this Saarlac that is Bar'baloth could possibly be the same one from the movies - though it's entirely open ended as to whether or not you want to believe that. I am glad that my reasoning appears to have gotten through! I do not think that'll be necessary, the Kashyyyk Star Map can be approached before you talk to the Rakata Computer and it simply doesn't open. This could likewise be done on Tatooine should the Star Map be kept in the cave. I'll have to test it, but I'm certain the Calo Nord encounter in tat_m18ac is not connected to the Star Map. If the Star Map is gone if you walk to the end of the cave they should all still spawn as normal. I don't think this'll make a difference. If the Star Map is in the Cave but requires the Player to complete the puzzles in the Temple, the Player comes back and unlocks the Star Map and leaves. If the Star Map is in the Temple, the Player simply uses the Krayt Dragon cave as an entrance and does everything inside the Temple. And if the content with the Sarlaac Tooth and even the Terentatek hide being required to complete the Sand Person Messiah content is added to the mod then the new content doesn't end in the Temple, the new content would end in the Sand People Camp. This is probably the only justifiable reason as to keep the Star Map in the cave, but should a new vision scene be made then keeping in the cave becomes less tenable as the Temple Star Map becomes easier and easier. It is of my opinion that a Temple Star Map should be attempted, and if it succeeds make it an optional install so that players who want a Temple Star Map get their Temple Star Map whilst Players who want a Cave Star Map get their Cave Star Map.

Personally I think keeping the Star Map in the Krayt Dragon cave is the best choice, for multiple reasons: 1. It will be easier on us to mod, not having to worry about the Calo Nord encounter in module m18ac, a new force vision cutscene and any other things connected to the Star Map triggers. 2. It bookends the mod: once the player completes The Lost Temple, they return to the Krayt Dragon Cave and complete the quest as usual, and are left feeling accomplished and intrigued for what's ahead in the story (with the Sandpeople, and Rakata on the Unknown Planet), instead of sad, detached, accepting that the new level is over. 3. It maintains the original location of the Star Map, which is faithful to what we got in the final version of the original game. But we are still deciding on what the best course of action is.

If you wanted to keep the Star Map in it's current location, you could borrow the dark energy from K2 and have it blocking the star map until you explore the new area.

Currently I've updated his weapon to Rakatan Battle Wand, but I think there is a real possibility that his character will be cut from the final version. There might be a force ghost or hologram instead to replace him, but I'm leaning towards cutting him entirely, and focusing instead on adding new dialogue for the Rakata Elders on the Unknown World. What's really important to me is deepening the lore and providing new context for the player regarding the Rakatan's motivations and history, while maintaining a distinct ambiguity to it. While I want to provide more answers and shed new light on the history of the Rakata and Revan's interactions with them, I think it's important to preserve a sense of unknowable mystery to the origins of the Star Wars universe. That's why I created this character in the first place. However, as others have communicated to me, it doesn't make much sense for this character to have survived imprisoned in the temple for thousands of years, even if they were some sort of unimaginably powerful Sith Lord. So there is definitely still much room for development in regards to the story!! I love Revan (and the Exile) and I am passionate about further developing and resolving their storylines! lol (soy mucho mega kotor nerd) JM

to Mephiles, I do think that Djh did the lightsaber pike already. Also i might have an idea when you complete the mod, that there will be a new reason to return to it

Mod request for Darth parametric. This ROTJ V2 hilt has been a favorite. The ROTJ V2 hilt configured for all of the single bladed lightsabers. KOTOR 1: blue, green, red, yellow, purple, orange/HOTG, and cyan/MOTF KOTOR 2: blue, green, red, yellow, purple, orange, cyan, silver, and viridian Please and thank you. It has been a great mod. That is all. No need for icons, crystals, and description edits. Attach the zip file/download within this comment/post in case anybody else would also like them if able to provide mod :)

*Edited main topic

I love this mod, I still can't believe someone even made this after all these years. I do have a few rough ideas I brainstormed after replaying it a few times just cause I'm so excited so see where this mod can go. To answer your last 2 questions, I think it should be a mandatory part of the star map quest while expanding both the lore of the Rakata AND the sand people's predecessor species in a way you were already alluding to in the mod currently! While I would prefer the Star Map be inside the temple, the vision shows it clearly in the cave where you find it in-game. All of the other visions are 100% accurate with their locations so this would break consistency. Plus moving the star map could break a few triggers I think, best to just leave it as is. Maybe what could be done is have the player be required to activate some mechanism/terminal inside the temple to grant access to the Star Map in the cave in the first place? That would still remain consistent with the story, triggers and vision. I think all the important stuff only happens once you activate the Star Map in that module, such as Calo/Bandon spawning or the game acknowledging you got another map in the first place. Dantooine and Kashyyyk make the player go through a bunch of (easy) puzzles/trials to have the player activate the map. Maybe instead of the terminals just immediatlely allowing you to lower the barriers, you have to solve a lore-question about the the history of the Rakatan and/or the Tuskens and you have to get it correct. The Tusken Storyteller you give the Krayt Pearl to can help you get the info you need to solve these questions. If you get the questions wrong, you'll have to fight constatnly self-repairing Rakatan Droids just like the Dantooine temple. The one Rakatan droid who you can't understand could have an expanded role to help explain all this to you. Rakatan lore is one of the coolest things of Kotors story. I really like the story in the mod, but also again think consistency with the main story and established EU lore should be considered. The temple has the same exact decals as the temple on Dantooine and Lehon so there should be an explanation for why. Maybe along with saying that the Rakata took the temple from the Sand People as their own, have the archeologist records say that the Builders added their own designs or murals and overhauled/expanded the temple through slave labor of the Tuskens. I think your mod kind of implies this is already the case, but maybe it could go in more detail about the process of how this was done, such as how the Rakatan forced the Tuskens to remove their old designs in favor of new ones that show the Rakatan subjugating the Tuskens. The Tusken lore should also be expanded on here to refer back what the Tusken storyteller would tell the player, how the planet was once green and lush. The builders came, make the Tusken/Jawa predecessor species slaves and forces them to build machines, but the storyteller also references the Rakatan plague, saying that the natives sabotaged Rakatan machines to fight back to seize the opportunity. As a result, the Rakatan glassed the planet. Really the temple's lore and records should both compliment or expand what the storyteller describes, but from Rakatan perspective. I think the barrier system progression is a great idea, the only change I would recommend is removing the barrier currently in place for the central chamber and placing it directly at the entrance of the cave area where the Rakata enemy is so the player is allowed to go through that little shortcut between the room with the Jawa and the area right infront of the Sarlaac chamber. There's a lot of backtracking throughout the entire module that could be prevented with that shortcut. The Rakatan also should probably be a ghost of some kind, similar to how Ajunta Pall with his shield effect (or translucency with the right mods). The lightsaber is a good idea, but in lore they used giant Force Sabers that definitely look a little different from modern sabers. If this saber pike mod from TSL could be ported to K1, it would be a near perfect fit for a type of Force Saber as an non-upgradable weapon. IDK if we should be able to understand the Rakatan language he speaks at this point, neither. I mean, we can't understand it from the droid on Dantooine and we can't understand the same droid on Tatooine here. On Kashyyyk the Rakatan hologram had to speak basic after it's "primary neuro-recognition" was done. The Rakatan might have to speak another language for lore consistency, I think the story implication was that Revan only suddenly understood the Rakatan language after he got his memories back. I know the player can understand the Rakatan in the Mysterious Box, that quite frankly that makes no sense considering you can get that right after Dantooine and I always attributed that to the box kinda being a wonky "world" where thoughts were likely transmitted in different ways. I like the dialogue you gave to the Rakatan, a lot of neat ideas to interpret here. I think he's referring to how the Rakatan would get the plague and ruin each other and he and a love interest were caught in the crossfire. But hey that's just my interpretation, it's well written and can be interpreted one way or another. If I had one think I would change, him referencing the "Dune" Sea might be problematic, as back in his time it wouldn't have been a dune but still an oceanic/green world. But I guess maybe he could've been around to see the glassing of the planet and maybe he is the one who coined the original term "Dune Sea"? Again, really cool dialogue, lots of implications. Only other thing I would do with him besides changing his appearance and maybe language would be placing him directly in the central chamber and not the entrance in front of it, especially if you move the barrier like I suggested earlier. That way you won't be able to see him before lowering the barrier. That just leaves the Jawa and the Tusken NPCs. Maybe the Tusken can give you a reward for fixing her bike? Maybe something that you use to either fix or activate a hypothetical terminal activating the Star Map? That way you will have to do multiple quests within the module to get your ultimate goal. The bike could also need multiple parts to fix it scattered throughout the temple, not just one and the Jawa could provide one of them. Maybe 3-4 parts scattered throughout? Maybe the Tusken could also have hints dropped that she is here to pay homage to the temple's Sarlacc or something and it wants you to find a way to lower the barrier so she can go to the main chamber to do so. Maybe this could include a reference to the cut Sand People Messiah quest but heavily revised, something like how the Tusken legends speak of an evil spirit guarding the Sarlacc and only the Sand People's messiah can defeat it to grant the tuskens acess to the pit. Once you fulfill this quest, the Tusken here will refer to you as their messiah. It's nowhere near what the original quest was like but I think it's a neat reference. Speaking of the Sarlaac, I don't think it should be the Great pit of Carkoon. The Rakatan ruins are already at least 10k years old, an additional 3500 years wouldn't completely get rid of literally everything around the pit and change the setting to the point it looks like in Return of the Jedi's Carkoon. Tatooine probably has multiple Sarlaacs. Maybe call it the "Great Pit of the Rak" in reference to the Rakata, idk. This mod is the start of something really fantastic, these are all rough ideas and I'm looking forward to seeing where it all goes. I'd love to help contribute to elements of a revised story if you'd like, I love the lore of the Infinite Empire. For stuff like the walkmeshes, geometry issues and party members being stuck, that's beyond my scope. It only was in issue with me once in multiple playthroughs thankfully so I don't think it's a real big deal. Honestly just replacing the white void with a dark yellow one solved the modules biggest visual issue in my opinion, amazing what a small change like that can do Only thing I could think of is either placing a lot of Rakatan ruin placeables in the rough areas like in the open cave areas so the player can't walk there anyway, or have the player only be able to enter the cave by themself without party members in a manner similar to the TSL Korriban cave.

I am working with a couple of other members of this community to expand the scope of this project. We are currently discussing several new ideas for the main quest, along with changes to the story, characters, and gameplay, and I am interested in hearing what is most important to you. My personal philosophy for the mod is this: 1. Authenticity (feeling as close to the original game as possible) 2. Fun / Player Experience 3. Lore Accuracy and Fan Expectations Current Plans Keep the Star Map in the Krayt Dragon cave to preserve the original KotOR story, Force vision, and existing quest progression. (Still being decided) Make the Lost Temple an important supporting location that expands on the history of the Builders (Rakata) and gives greater context to the Star Map. Expand the roles of the Sand People and Jawas without allowing either to overshadow the Rakatan storyline. Main Quest Progression Player discovers the Lost Temple through the Sand People questline. Player learns about the Builders through: Sand People oral history (Storyteller/Chieftain) Rakatan droid records Archaeological discoveries Ancient runed obelisks Player must combine information from different sources to solve the Runed Obelisk puzzle. Solving the puzzle unlocks access to the Star Map. Multiple Outcomes to Sand People Quest Light Side: Warn the Jawas of the Sand People's plan to reinhabit the Temple Present the Sarlaac Tooth as a sacred relic (alongside the Krayt Dragon Pearl) earning the tribe's respect. Earn the Sand People's trust and strengthen the peace between the tribe and the settlers of Anchorhead. Dark Side: Withhold information from the Jawas and encourage the Sand People to reclaim the Temple by force. Exploit the tribe's fear and hostility toward outsiders for personal gain. JM
