  3. M4-78 Uncompressed Movies

    Since the cutscenes for the KotOR games are being upscaled, I thought I'd provide my M4-78 EP movies, sans the Bink compression to assist in this.
    As a bonus, I've included a brief cutscene I was requested to make a number of years ago, in which a battle-hardened Harbinger approaches the planet and passes over the central zone, just in case anyone finds it useful.

  7. Bao-Dur arm texture for his default clothes

    Hello everyone,
    This is a modder's resource that is maybe useful for those who want to retexture Bao-Dur's arm and don't want to mess around to get the two seperate textures (P_bao_durA and P_baodur_arm) look the same. Now, the default model of Bao-Dur also uses the P_BaoDur_Arm texture for his arm.

  10. JC's Loadscreen Template for K2

    This is a template for the K2 style loadscreens. Included are a PNG overlay which you can place directly over your loadscreen background, as well as the PSD source. Note that the aspect ratio is 1:1, so the image will be stretched depending the display resolution. That's how the game's original loadscreens are.

  11. Kel Dor Modder's Resource for TSL

    NOTE TO ENDUSERS – THIS IS NOT INTENDED AS A PLAYABLE MOD!
    This pack is a modder’s resource containing a custom Kel Dor head and modified body models with Kel Dor hands. This installer will perform a basic heads.2da and appearance.2da NPC row setup along with simple body variation UTCs for testing purposes. An on-enter script that spawns the UTCs next to the Ebon Hawk on Dantooine is provided in the TEST SCRIPT folder. Simply copy and paste the two NCS files into your Override folder.
    Textures are provided with a basic placeholder diffuse for the head and a simple UV map for the hands. Because of the single texture requirement for variants, the hands have to share UV space with the body. This necessitated altering the UV layouts for all body models, compressing them 50% to make use of 1024x512 textures (original 512x512 body texture side-by-side with 512x512 hand texture). As such, the bodies are not compatible with third party textures/reskins. However, all models and textures use unique names, so there should be no conflicts/incompatibilities.
    The head model has basic skin weights. The respirator mask has been weighted to the jaw to give it some movement during NPC dialogue, but possibly this may be a bit extreme. You may wish to experiment with your own adjustments to the skin weights, although it should be fine as-is for a player head, as they don't have any major jaw animation.
    You are free to incorporate the contents of this mod into your own work, as long as proper credit is provided. Do not redistribute the mod by itself. Although note that this model is basically superfluous now that porting from TOR is allowed.

  12. NPC Auto-Leveller

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    » NPC Auto-Leveller 1.0 Read-Me
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    NAME: NPC Auto-Leveller
    TYPE: Modder's Resource
    VERSION: 1.0
    DATE RELEASED: July 2, 2017
     
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    » DESCRIPTION
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    A while back, Darth Tyren was asking me about how the KotOR 2 balances the enemies to make them tougher as you go on through the game. We then spent a few hours running some tests and digging through the files, with the end result being that the game seems to just upgrade the enemies' Hit Points and Force Points.
     
    I then theorized that one could use the extra functions Obsidian added for modifying your skills, attributes, feats, and force powers to work up a framework for levelling up the NPCs without actually assigning them levels. This is the result of that work.
     
    The heart of this modder's resource is the "fs_level.nss" #include file, where I've one main function called LevelUp and several support functions that will randomly assign feats, force powers, skill points (including support for cross-class skills), and attribute points at the appropriate times and in the appropriate amounts. I've scoured the various .2da files and the all of the default values and rules that the player has to obey are obeyed by the script as well.
     
    Also, there are 750 .uti files included. There are 50 for each class, and each item handles the defense, saving throw, and attack modifier increases that a given class would get as they level. These items are not accessible or equippable in-game, as they use the hidden creature slots (specifically, slots 14 and 15).
     
    I've shown how to use the #include file in the included "k_ai_master.nss" in the source folder. The compiled form is included in the installation.
     
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    » INSTALLATION
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    An installation which involves the TSL Patcher has been made ready for your use and is the simplest and easiest way to carry out installation.
     
    You don't have to use the installer if you're just using parts of this or adapting it, but it's an easy way to get it all set up and ready to go.
     
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    » KNOWN BUGS
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Not exactly a bug, but the two slots I used may very well be used by animals like the Kinrath that have special properties to their attacks.
     
    There are 2 ways to report bugs:
    1: Post your issues in the Bug Reporting Thread.
    2: PM your issues to Fair Strides at Deadlystream.
     
    TO REPORT THROUGH PM
     
    1) Go to DeadlyStream ( http://deadlystream.com/ ) and search for the user Fair Strides ( http://deadlystream.com/forum/user/9107-fair-strides/ )
    2) Send a private message with as much detail as possible of what is occurring in your game. He will likely report back to you within a week.
     
    TO REPORT THROUGH THE BUG THREAD:
    1) Go to the Bug Thread ( http://deadlystream.com/forum/topic/5509-downloadnpc-auto-leveller/ )
    2) Reply with as much detail as you can provide, and please list (and preferably link to) all the mods you're using.
     
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    » CONTRIBUTORS / CREDITS
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Darth Insidious, Malkior, Markus Ramikin, Darth Tyren, and probably many others who were willing to discuss the topic with me over Skype.
     
    Darth Tyren for the initial investigative work and the idea itself.
     
    90SK for some installer help on my Fumble! mod, whose changes.ini file I edited in Notepad for this mod.
     
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    » REDISTRIBUTION
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    This mod may be re-distributed, but may not be re-uploaded. I request that proper credit be given to me for making the mod, even if you use parts of the mod instead of the whole thing.
     
    I would also like to be contacted before you release your mod.

  13. Bao-Dur Head Model Neck Fix

    This is a modder's resource that adjusts the position of Bao-Dur's neck vertices so that they match the standard position of other heads. Bao-Dur's vanilla head will "float" if attached to standard bodies. This adjustment ensures the base of his neck will seat properly with the collars of standard body models, which is a necessity for potential future mods like Bao-Dur specific robes.

  14. TSL Thigh-High Boots For Female Twi'lek Body (Modder's Resource)

    Here's another bit of scrap from my junk pile that someone may find a use for. A little while back I made some thigh-high boots for Bastila when Quanon was working on her Taris prisoner outfit. He didn't end up using them, so I tossed them into the abyss with my other rejects. The other day I was looking at the female Twi'lek body models for some reason, and I noticed that (the base version at least) has painted on thigh-high boots. On a whim, I imported my boot mesh and noted that, height-wise, they lined up almost perfectly. Even more interestingly, my UVs were very close in layout to the Twi'lek's legs, so much so that is was fairly trivial to rejig them to fit the existing textures. In practice I'm not sure how much purpose this serves, as from a distance it's basically impossible to tell the difference between painted on boots and my physically modelled boots, at least using vanilla textures, but I figured someone might find some use for it.
    Because the vanilla female Twi'lek model has existing animations (dancing), I have provided a hex edited copy of the original which is now used as the supermodel. That way the booted variant is a simple Override drop-in with no 2DA editing required. Also included is a booted version of the Twi'lek assassin body. Additionally, I have also provided a version suitable for use as a player body that uses the regular S_Female03 supermodel.
    I've supplied modified versions for those variation textures that don't have existing boot textures. There is also an optional variant of the base green variation which has black boots instead of red. The intent of course, given how terrible the vanilla textures are, is that someone will release a proper high quality retextured version, but the NPC portion is useable out of the box if people so desire.
    You are free to incorporate the contents of this mod into your own work, as long as proper credit is provided. Do not redistribute the mod by itself.
    As a side note for anyone using this directly rather than as a modder's resource, I would highly recommend the use of the optional alternate texture from RedRob41's Luxa Hair Fix mod. What can I say? I like hotpants. Only use the texture, mind, not the meshes.

  16. [TSL] Lost Modules Pack

    Not really a mod, more of a modding resource. Here I've gathered the 7 most useful
    'lost' modules for KotOR 1 - that is, modules that had no .rim files, and were essentially
    just room models in the game files. Why do I say 'most useful'? There are a few more -
    one of which is a slice of corridor, and several bits of the Unknown World temple-top,
    but none of these are much different or much more useful than the already existing modules,
    or the ones I have packaged here. Neither are they particularly exemplary.
     
    And so, here they are. I would guess that the modules' functions would be:
     
    In 2006-7, I found a variety of 'lost' modules in KotOR I, which I released as a pack.
    This consisted mainly of areas for which area models, walkmesh and lightmaps existed
    in the game files, but no module file. I complied these for use.
     
    Shortly aftewards I found around three others for TSL, which I intended to release
    around the time of my release of another mod of mine. The mod got delayed, and I
    forgot about the lost modules for a long time, until reminded by VarsityPuppet.
     
    Unlike the KotOR I set, these don't appear to have been made for areas which were
    then unused, but were probably for test effects, or similar purposes. They are:
     
    000test - Empty, box-shaped room. The camera clips through the walls, like it
    does in most custom modules.
     
    000trl - Small, empty area with a foggy floor. Perhaps has something to do with
    the main menu, when completed by a character with the Sith Lord prestige
    class?
     
    999dia - Very large, flat plane, with walkmesh and lighting. Perhaps a test?
     
    Usage and credit
    I make no claim over usage - you may create and upload your own versions of this mod
    however and wherever you like - but please credit me appropriately.
     
    Please also do not upload or claim credit for an unmodified version of this mod elsewhere.
    It's just rude.

  17. Lethisk Freighter AKA I-Wing Placeable Modder's Resource for TSL

    This is a new mesh made from scratch to replicate the I-Wing shuttle/freighter from K1, the model for which was not included in TSL's files. It was made with the intention to replace the GWing shuttle that the Mandalorians use to take you to Onderon, but it could be used in other ways. It currently includes no texture, just a UV map, so you'll need to make your own texture to make much use of it. Includes ASCII and binary model and walkmesh/collision files.
    Free for anyone to use and include in their own mod releases, but you must acknowledge the source. The mesh may not be released by itself or otherwise rehosted elsewhere.

  18. Dejarik Table Placeable

    "Let the wookie win."-- C-3PO
     

    Here is a new placeable I created for one of my own mods. I just took a standard table from the game and replaced the table top with a dejarik game top texture. There is a separate model file for the game pieces.
     
    The .zip file contains all the necessary files. Just unpack and follow the ReadMe.
     
    Hope you can use it.
     
    Enjoy

  19. Modder's Resource: Harbinger Model

    Hello!
     
    This is a 3D model of the Harbinger that I extracted from KotOR II. Only half of it was present (as you only see half at Peragus) so I mirrored and stitched the model symmetrically.
    This package also contains an alternate model of the Harbinger, in which I bent or removed some of the turrets to make it look like it has been war-torn.
    Besides the models, I've included the original .tga texture as well as some alternate textures I made to make the ship look war-torn. This includes a color map, and incandescent map, a bump map, and a specularity map.
    Any one is free to use this resource in their products. Enjoy!

      • Hello and thank you, this is truly an amazing mod and now I'm happy to kick back and relax with a controller in my hand, awesome job! Btw is there any chance importing the Xbox achievements to the Steam version? I know nobody would see that in our Steam profile but it would still be cool to have an achievement built in if that's possible? Otherwise no biggie, thank you for this amazing mod!

      • Simple but lovely reskin

      • as essential as it gets; well done to everyone involved!

      • Fantastic and essential change to Kotor 2 imo. God this bugged me so much lol

      • this is a positive review.

      • As a KotOR modder whose majority of mods involve editing DLG files, NeoDLG is the best DLG editor to date and it is not even a contest.

        Firstly, NeoDLG (and Vriff's other Neo tools) support macOS and Linux, which means users of macOS or Linux (like me) are able to enjoy the software without using a compatibility layer like WINE.

        NeoDLG's feature of exporting TSLPatcher/HoloPatcher instructions for dynamic DLG file patching is a real game changer for modding dialogue. In the old way of using DLGEditor to edit a DLG file then using ChangeEdit to generate the TSLPatcher output, if you add new dialogue nodes to a DLG file, the indices of those new nodes are fixed. This means a different mod that also adds new modes to the same DLG file can end up sharing the same dialogue node indices, causing the two mods to conflict.

        On the other hand, NeoDLG's patcher instruction export feature makes use of 2DAMEMORY so the indices of new dialogue nodes are not fixed, thus TSLPatcher and HoloPatcher 2.0 (earlier versions of HoloPatcher does not support DLG dynamic patching) can patch DLG files when adding new dialogue new modes in a dynamic matter, which improves compatibility with other mods that patch the same DLG files. Not to mention, NeoDLG exports the patcher instructions faster than ChangeEdit when generating the GFF output.

        • Thanks 1
        • Influence Gained 1
      • I would say this is essential for those who wants to make sure KOTOR runs well on current day rig. I wish something like this exists for KOTOR 2 as well, Aspyr did a great job fixing alot of its compatibility issue but other issues like graphics issue, widescreen UI being super squished, captions/subtitles font being too small on higher resolution and the unintuitive controller UI, I like how OP just straight up ported the XBOX UI to the game, I believe that is something KOTOR 2 could use.

        Anyway, thank you for your effort RaymanGT, this is a great mod.

         

      • Working perfectly!!! 🔥

        swkotor 2026-11-07 18-05-02_8.png

      • No words can do this or any model in this "High Poly" series justice, so I'll simply say: This is next-level. Full stop. I've deployed the entire series you have in my current KOTOR mod build and it looks.......WOW!!!!🔥🔥

      • I cannot thank you enough for the sheer quality and convenience of this mod.

        Patch after patch, mod after mod, hack after hack, just to get this mess of an old game to look decent on modern displays and hardware. Then one mad lad comes and makes a single gift basket of a patch for it that turns an incredibly tedious and frustratingly long process into a 5 second click-and-play experience. Hell, I'm so used to stuff just not working when trying to mod or fix this game so I expected issues with this, but your patch just does literally everything I need. And it works... omg it actually works lol finally something of this scale actually works without causing any problems in this god forsaken mishmash of game coding.

        One small issue I've noticed on 4k resolutions anyway is that selecting small font option does not show the names of selected targets. Could you fix that in the next update? It works fine with regular font but I'd prefer small. Also maybe you could make the regular Xbox hud useable without a controller?

        5/5, Sincerest thanks 

      • A must have for a dark side character. Simon Templeman's voice fits perfectly.

      • A must-have for KOTOR 2, full stop. Like others have said here, this mod is expertly built and integrated into the base game/TSLRCM framework and polishes the end of the game, wrapping up that escape and giving the entire crew a proper closure to their journey. This one is a lock for all my future TSL mod builds.  10/10. 

        • Influence Gained 1
      • Another great mod by WildKarrde that has earned a permanent spot in my personal mod build. Bao-Dur is one of the most underrated characters in TSL, so I have always been bothered by how vanilla TSL has Bao-Dur disappear throughout the end-game without explanation for what happaned to him, and the lack of even cut content to be able to restore to fix that. I am thrilled that there is finally an endgame story mod that gives Bao-Dur the love he deserves.

        Spoiler

        I especially appreciate that the mod lets Bao-Dur live. Even though Chris Avellone said that Bao-Dur was supposed to die in the endgame, I honestly never liked the idea of Bao-Dur dying, because consider his story revolves around his trauma and guilt over Malachot V, I believe he deserves a chance to live and heal after the events of TSL, which I would find much more satisfying than killing Bao-Dur off.  In my honest opinion, Bao-Dur's death would serve no story purpose other than explaining his disappearance in the endgame, so I am seriously glad to see a story mod meant for giving Bao-Dur more closure in the endgame avoids killing him off.

        I also love the salute Bao-Dur gives the Exile when the Exile leaves Telos for Malachor, which perfectly captures the Bao-Dur and the Exile's relationship as comrades during both the Mandalorian Wars and the present day events of TSL.

      • Truly an incredible mod that makes a permanent spot in my personal mod build for how much it improves the ending, and how well-made the mod is. While TSLRCM did the best it could in restoring cut content to the end-game, there is still room for improvement for the ending, and TSL Expanded Ending proves that.

        Spoiler

        I appreciate that TSL Expanded Ending gives the player more choices, such as the option if they want to destroy Malachor or not regardless of the player's alignment, if they want to find Revan or not, choosing to stay on Malachor if the player doesn't destroy it, etc. The mod also restores Handmaiden/Visas' ending conversation about wanting to follow the player even if the player chooses to destroy Malachor.

         

        • Light Side Points 1
      • Nice to see the Handmaiden's braids beneath her hood! Thanks for creating this mod!
