  1. TSL Holowan Duplisaber - Obsidian Color and Crystal

    By 90SK

    TSL Holowan Duplisaber - Obsidian Color and Crystal
    10/4/2024
    by 90SK
    This replacement mod is for Holowan Duplisaber. Once you install Holowan Duplisaber, copy this Override folder to your preferred Knights Of The Old Republic II Directory. It will replace "Cerulean" with "Obsidian" in the Saber Crystal Surplus. This affects all the icons and the color/name of all the Cerulean sabers. They will all be Obsidian now and with black icons, etc. The color is a thin black beam, with a glowing white outline. This was done with permission from VarsityPuppet. There is no other replacement for Duplisaber that creates a customized obsidian or black color crystal to my liking, and my own attempts at this have resulted in this mod.
     
    Other Black Saber Mods:
    JC's Darksaber for K1
    JC's Darksaber for TSL
    Svosh's Black Core Sabers for K1
    90SK's Black for Silver Saber Color TSL
     
    Installation:
    Copy "Override" from Mod Archive to your preferred Knights Of The Old Republic II Directory. Hit OK to replace all files. The Cerulean color from Holowan Duplisaber will be replaced entirely with the Obsidian color.  
    Known Compatibility:
    This is a patch for Duplisaber, must be used along side that mod.
     
    TSLRCM Compatibility: Same as Duplisaber

  3. Beta Peragus Miner Pack

    By N-DReW25

    Peragus Miner Pack
    A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic 2
    Author: N-DReW25
    1.1.0 Release Date: 18.09.2022

    Installation:
    Simply click on the HoloPatcher.exe, select your option, click install and sit back and watch the TSLPatcher do its magic.
    I isn't recommended to install "Everyone a Beta Miner" and "Some Beta Miners" together as EABM will change ALL the miners thus rendering SBM redundant. 
    It is highly recommended you check out the "Description" section of the readme to ensure you've made an informed decision on what exactly you want to install.

    Description:
    The Peragus Miner NPCs all wear the Miner Uniform item the player gets to wear, but did you know that one point during the development of Kotor 2 this wasn't meant to be?
    In the game files, you can find an unused texture which suggests that the Miner Uniform was originally based on the Czerka Uniform model whereas the current Miner Uniform is based on the Combat Suit model.
    The change from a Czerka Uniform to a Combat Suit texture was most likely to allow the player to wear the Miner Uniform.
    Oddly, the Maintenance Officer's Corpse placeable and the dead Peragus Miners floating in the Kolto Tanks still use the Czerka based Miner Uniform.
    From here on, we shall refer to the Czerka-based  Miner Uniform as the "Beta Miner Uniform".

    This mod has the following mod options:

    OPTION 1: Everyone a Beta Miner
    Everyone a Beta Miner will restore the Beta Uniform to EVERY single Peragus Miner NPC. This will not affect the Player's Miner Uniform.

    OPTION 2: Some Beta Miners
    This option will only restore the Beta Uniform for the Medical Officer, the Administrator, the Dock Officer, the Maintenance Officer and the Security Officer. These Miners will wear the Beta Uniform whereas every other Peragus Miner will wear the vanilla Miner Uniform.

    OPTION 3: No Player Heads
    Did you know notice how some Peragus Miner NPCs (Coorta's Thugs etc.) reuse the Player Heads? This install option will replace the Player Heads with Generic NPC Heads. This option is compatible with options 1 and 2.

    OPTION 4: Mining Gear Plus
    You WILL need to have Kainzorus Prime's Peragus Mining Gear installed beforehand for this option to work. This option will have some Miners use the Beta Uniform, some use the vanilla Miner Uniform and the rest will use Kainzorus Prime's Peragus Mining Gear. With this option, the Plasteel Cylinder you first encounter in the Mining Tunnels will contain vanilla Miner Uniform whilst the Plasteel Cylinder at the Main Ventilation Shaft will contain Kainzorus Prime's Peragus Mining Gear.

    Known Bugs:
    This mod shouldn't have bugs but if you find any report it to me on Deadlystream.com.

    Incompatibilities:
    * This mod is compatible with Kainzorus Prime's Peragus Mining Gear mod- https://deadlystream.com/files/file/401-peragus-mining-gear/
    * This mod is compatible with VarsityPuppet's Peragus Tweak- https://deadlystream.com/files/file/8-peragus-tweak/
    * This mod is compatible with WildKarrde's Peragus Medical Bay Enhancement- https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2513-peragus-medical-bay-enhancement/
    * This mod is NOT compatible with DarthParametric's Fixed Hologram Models and Admiralty Redux for TSLRCM.
    Report any incompatibilities to me on Deadlystream.com.

    Permissions:
    Do NOT claim credit for this mod and do not use assets from this mod without my permission. 

    Thanks:

  4. KotOR2 Companion Fix

    By GearHead

    This mod corrects companion stats.
     
    WARNING:
    This mod is made to be compatible with as many mods a possible. This means sometimes during the installation process you get error messages dou to the way the installer handles thing. Don't panic, this is normal, the mod will work just fine.
    If the companion already joined your party the changes will not apply. You need to start a new game or load an earlier save.
    List of changes:
    Class changes:
    - Soldiers no longer gain defense bonuses leveling up, only Mandalore, but he is a separate class now.
    - Swapped Combat Droid and Expert Droid feat gain tables. (more feats for HK-47, less for T3-M4 and G0-T0)
    - Fixed Sith Marauder defense bonuses.
    - Fixed Sith Lord defense bonuses.
    Bao-Dur:
    - He wears clothes now. (He looks the same with and without clothes, so this change is kind of pointless.)
    - He had 48 force points by default even though he is not a Jedi at the beginning, this was changed to 0.
    Disciple:
    - Stealth Skill 5 -> 0
    - Awareness Skill 8 -> 5
    - Treat Injury Skill 8 -> 4
    - He no longer has an invisible 'Superior Weapon Focus: Lightsaber II' feat.
    - He had 24 force points by default even though he is not a Jedi at the beginning, this was changed to 0.
    Handmaiden:
    - Stealth Skill 5 -> 0
    - Awareness Skill 8 -> 5
    - Treat Injury Skill 8 -> 4
    - She had 24 force points by default even though she is not a Jedi at the beginning, this was changed to 0.
    Hanharr:
    - Hit Points 52 -> 60 (This bug goes away if you level him up, but i fixed it anyway.)
    - He no longer has the 'Close Combat' feat.
    - He has the correct version of the 'Precise Shot I' feat now.
    HK-47:
    - Hit Points 72 -> 78
    - Demolitions Skill 5 -> 9
    - Awareness Skill 5 -> 9
    - Repair Skill 6 -> 9
    - He has Improved Power Blast now to match the number of feats Combat Droids gain on their first 6 levels.
    - Swapped Combat Droid and Expert Droid feat gain tables. (more feats for HK-47, less for T3-M4 and G0-T0)
    - Fixed his dual wield power blast. He fires both blasters now, previously he only fired the right hand one.
    - His 'Logic Upgrade: Tactician' feat was removed, since this feat is no longer in use.
    Kreia:
    - Hit Points 36 -> 27
    - Force Points 49 -> 73
    - She has the 'Unarmed Specialist I' feat now, same as every other jedi.
    Mandalore:
    - Awareness Skill 5 -> 4
    - Persuade Skill 2 -> 0
    - Treat Injury Skill 9 -> 8
    - He no longer belongs to the 'Soldier' class.
      I made him a new class called 'Mandalorian'.
      This way he can retain his defense bonuses provided by the 'Mandalorian Courage' feat.
      (No other changes compared to the 'Soldier' class.)
    Mira:
    - Computer Use Skill 8 -> 9
    - Demolitions Skill 8 -> 9
    - Awareness Skill 8 -> 9
    - Repair Skill 8 -> 9
    - She has the 'Armor Proficiency: Medium' feat by default now.

  5. No Health Regeneration

    By offthegridmorty

    Removes the base vitality regeneration in TSL. You can still gain regeneration through items or the Regenerate Vitality feat.
    INSTALLATION
    To install, run TSLPatcher.exe. If regeneration.2da already exists in your override folder, an unaltered copy will be placed in the “backup” folder in the location of TSLPatcher.exe.
    UNINSTALLATION
    To uninstall, remove regeneration.2da from your override folder. If a regeneration.2da was created inside the backup folder, move it to override.
    COMPATIBILITY
    Will only conflict with other mods that edit health regeneration values. Install this mod after to ensure its changes take effect.

  7. Schematic Lightsaber Mod [SLM]

    By Kaidon Jorn

    SLM 2.0
    -------------
    for TSLRCM 1.8.4/M4-78EP 1.2
     
    For mod compatibilty with TSLRCM and M4-78EP using the STEAM VERSION of the game, you will need to install this mod into the directory of the base game, just as you would with TSLRCM. Do not use the workshop version of TSLRCM!!
    C:/Program Files(x86)/Steam/SteamApps/common/Knights Of The Old Republic II
    IMPORTANT: Upon installation of this mod you must also open the file called "swkotor.ini" found in the main swkotor folder and under graphics options, you must edit the line "DisableVertexBufferObjects=1" to read "Disable Vertex Buffer Options=1", simply putting spaces between words. If this is not done you will see lightsaber hilt textures disappear depending on camera angle. 

    Author: Kaidon Jorn (formerly Qui-Don Jorn)
    Date: Summer 2015
     
    This is a large scale lightsaber mod which was designed to work with TSLRCM 1.8.4 with the option for M4-78EP compatibilty (1.2). This lightsaber mod will not work properly without the latest version of TSLRCM (1.8.4) installed.
    In this mod, each party member that is trainable as Jedi will have a lightsaber to build on the workbench through new dialog options after they have become a Jedi. These initial dialogs will require color crystals to access but will then unlock that specific lightsaber to be built as many times as you like, as long as you have the crystals. These lightsabers can be used by anyone.
    In version 2.0, lightsaber schematics have been redesigned so that they are usable items that you click on to learn. They are destroyed upon use and will open the workbench dialog option to create them. You will still need to have at least one color crystal in your inventory and you must have completed your lightsaber quest in order to open the workbench options for them, since completing your lightsaber quest grants you the power to learn a schematic.
    There are now NINE additional lightsabers rewarded as 'boss loot' drops depending on the planet you are on, and perhaps multiple ones on the same planet. These lightsabers have very small bonus stats tied to them and most have unique TOR inspired blade colors.
    The training sabers from the TOR Saber Mod I did have been integrated and are buildable on the workbench and come in three types for three models - ion, electrical and energy damage. There are minor skill checks to create them.
    With the M4-78 compatibilty files installed, Master Vash and Kaah Otohk will brandish thier own unique lightsabers which are not available in normal SLM gameplay.
    This is the final lightsaber mod I will make and it uses lightsaber models from different mods I've made over the last several years, though most come from what was going to be HotOR 1.7 before that mod was abandoned.
     
    Install by running the .exe file called "SLM 2.0"
    If also using M4-78EP, apply the compatibilty patch.
    Removal:
    1.) Open SLM's BACKUP folder - copy and paste all .MOD files into game's MODULES folder and let overwrite.
    2.) Copy and paste party member .DLG files (including workbnch.dlg) and any .2DA files found in SLM's BACKUP folder into game's OVERRIDE folder and let overwrite.
    3.) Copy and paste the dialog.tlk found in SLM's BACKUP folder into KotOR2's main folder. Let overwrite.
    4.) Delete all saber files from the game's OVERRIDE folder. (tga's, .mdl's, .mdx's, uti's, and also Zez.utc)
     
    Notes:
    *Not compatible with any other saber mods (i.e. Varsity Puppet's Duplisaber, USM, HotOR, etc, etc) UNLESS it only changes the default hilt models. This mod uses (almost) every lightsaber model slot available (13 thru 255).
    *As always, do not try to put a crystal that was made for a double-bladed saber into a single-bladed saber (except Apostle's) or vice versa because it will crash your game.
    *Kaah's lightsaber will be the standard yellow, not "gold" as originally planned. Although yellow blades look a little more "gold" now.
    *As previously stated, you will not find Vash's or Kaah's hilts unless you have M4-78EP (1.2) and the SLM compatibilty patch installed.
    *For companions like Visas, Mira, and Kreia, it's probabaly a good idea to stand off to one side of them when starting their saber making dialogs. They may get stuck trying to pathfind.
    *All 13 schematics should be in your possession after helping Talia or Vaklu on Onderon. All dropped saber loot should be in your possession after the Nihilus fight.
    *If you want Nihilus' lightsaber you must ask Visas for it. It will come with the mask.
    *Kreia's Peragus saber is lost after Sion cuts her hand off. Don't expect it back.
    * Do not try to disassemble a hilt that is already equipped by a party member. If you want to switch a party member's saber, make the new one first, then equip it on them before disassembling the one they had (or be controlling the one you want to disassemble on). No clue why this happens but it will crash the game.
    * At time of release, there may be a small bug in 903MAL where Sion dosen't walk to his spot where the assassins circle around him directly after the Atton fight. (903Kreia.dlg)
     
    Credits:
    Thanks to Fair Strides for all the scripting help, he basically came up with the force power script that allows you to learn a schematic. I just modified it to what I needed.
    Thanks to VP (and all the Holowan Labs modders) for coding and general modding help over the years.
    Thanks to Deadman for making the training sabers power on and off.
    Thanks to DeadlyStream for hosting my mods.
     
    Permissions: This mod and all my mods here on Deadlystream are all now up for grabs. Change them, fix them, do what you want. You do not need my permission nor consent and you may rerelease it whereever/however you like. I do however, expect to be credited as the original author in the readme.

  10. Schematic Lightsaber Mod 2024

    By Kaidon Jorn

    Schematic Lightsaber Mod 2024
    (SLM 2024)
    ===============================================================================================================
    for TSLRCM 1.8.6
    Author: Kaidon Jorn 
    Date: Summer 2024
      This is a large scale lightsaber mod which was built using TSLRCM 1.8.6. This lightsaber mod will not work properly without TSLRCM installed. It should be installed directly after the **DeadlySteam version** of TSLRCM 1.8.6 and on the **LEGACYPC version** of the game from Steam (NOT THE ASPYR VERSION). 
      
      In this mod every party member that is trainable as Jedi will have a uniquely named lightsaber to build on the workbench through new dialog options after they have become Jedi. These initial dialogs will require color crystals to access but will then unlock that specific lightsaber to be built as many times as you like, as long as you have color crystals. These dialogs have been expanded quite a bit to offer a bit more immersion. Both the Jedi Masters and Sith Lords have their own unique lightsabers to wield. These have upgraded stats, weathered and worn textures, and are collectible by the player. 
    In this version I went back to the schematics being simple datapads that you must keep in your inventory to be able to build the lightsaber on the workbench. You won't be able to destroy these datapads since they are quest items that will show up in the quest items inventory. 
    All saber hilt textures and their icons have been remade. There is also one quest to find the parts of a lightsaber with a uniquely colored blade which you can then build on the workbench. It begins in the Telos military base and ends in the Refugee Sector on Nar Shaddaa. The quest for the Acheron lightsaber has been removed.
    The rancor on Dantooine has been removed and the Eloquence saber has been moved to Dxun and you can fight Bralor in the Mandalorian Battle Circle for it. 
    Huge thanks to Fair Strides and Darth Parametric for all their scripting help.
    Also thanks to Sith Holocron for providing all brand new crystal icons.
            
    Install by running the .exe file called "SLM 2024"

    Removal: 
    1.) Open SLM's BACKUP folder - copy and paste all .MOD files into game's MODULES folder and let overwrite. 
    2.) Copy and paste party member .DLG files (including workbnch.dlg) and any .2DA files found in SLM's BACKUP folder into game's OVERRIDE folder and let overwrite.
    3.) Copy and paste the dialog.tlk found in SLM's BACKUP folder into KotOR2's main folder. Let overwrite.
    4.) Delete all saber files from the game's OVERRIDE folder. (tga's, .txi's, .mdl's, .mdx's, uti's)

    Notes: Version 2024
    *Some older hilt models have been replaced with some different ones.
    *All saber hilt textures have been redone to look a bit more realistic. 
    *All blade textures have been remade into thick core blades with slightly colored cores for a more movie/tv show look.
    *All saber icons have been remade from scratch.
    *All new crystal icons have been provided by Sith Holocron - huge thanks!
    *Greatly expanded workbench dialog to include the breaking down of vanilla game lightsabers and retrieving their crystals.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    *Not compatible with any other saber mods (i.e. Varsity Puppet's Duplisaber, USM, HotOR, etc, etc) UNLESS it only changes the default hilt models. This mod uses (almost) every lightsaber model slot available (13 thru 255).
    *As always, do not try to put a crystal that was made for a double-bladed saber into a single-bladed saber (except Solace or the personal quest saber) or vice versa because it will crash your game.
    *As previously stated, you will not find Vash's or Kaah's hilts unless you have M4-78EP (1.2) and the SLM compatibility patch installed.
    *For companions like Visas, Mira, and Kreia, it's probably a good idea to stand off to one side of them when starting their saber making dialogs. They may get stuck trying to path find.
    *All 13 schematics should be in your possession after helping Talia or Vaklu on Onderon. All dropped saber loot should be in your possession after the Nihilus fight, except Sion's.
    *If you want Nihilus' lightsaber you must ask Visas for it. It will come with the mask.
    *Kreia's Peragus saber is lost after Sion cuts her hand off. Don't expect it back.
    * Do not try to disassemble a hilt that is already equipped by a party member. If you want to switch a party member's saber, make the new one first, then equip it on them before disassembling the one they had (or be controlling the character you want to disassemble on). No clue why this happens but it will crash the game.
    * At time of release, there may be a small bug in 903MAL where Sion doesn't walk to his spot where the assassins circle around him directly after the Atton fight. (903Kreia.dlg) (((UPDATE:7/7/2021 It works fine)))

  11. KotorDiff

    By th3w1zard1

    A simple CLI to easily compare KOTOR file formats.
    This is a very simple CLI to PyKotor. If you find TSLPatcher isn't patching the resulting files in the way you want, you can use this tool to compare your manual changes to the resulting TSLPatcher result. You can also use it to compare entire installations, directories, or single files.
    Why KotorDiff?
    It is (or should be) common knowledge that Kotor Tool is not safe to use for anything besides extraction. But have you ever wondered why that is?
    Let's take a look at a .utc file extracted directly from the BIFs (the OG vanilla p_bastilla.utc). Extract it with KTool and name it p_bastilla_ktool.utc. Now open the same file in ktool's UTC character editor, change a single field (literally anything, hp, strength, whatever you fancy), and save it as p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc.
    KotorDiff's output:
    Using --path1='C:\Users\nodoxxxpls\Downloads\p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc' Using --path2='C:\Users\nodoxxxpls\Downloads\p_bastilla_ktool.utc' Using --ignore-rims=False Using --ignore-tlk=False Using --ignore-lips=False Using --compare-hashes=True Using --use-profiler=False GFFStruct: number of fields have changed at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc': '72' --> '69' Field 'Int16' is different at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc\HitPoints': --- (old)HitPoints +++ (new)HitPoints @@ -1 +1 @@ -18 +24 Field 'LocalizedString' is different at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc\FirstName': --- (old)FirstName +++ (new)FirstName @@ -1 +1 @@ -Bastila +31360 Field 'Int16' is different at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc\CurrentHitPoints': --- (old)CurrentHitPoints +++ (new)CurrentHitPoints @@ -1 +1 @@ -20 +24 Field 'UInt16' is different at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc\FeatList\0\Feat': --- (old)Feat +++ (new)Feat @@ -1 +1 @@ -3 +94 Field 'UInt16' is different at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc\FeatList\2\Feat': --- (old)Feat +++ (new)Feat @@ -1 +1 @@ -39 +98 Field 'UInt16' is different at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc\FeatList\3\Feat': --- (old)Feat +++ (new)Feat @@ -1 +1 @@ -43 +55 Field 'UInt16' is different at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc\FeatList\4\Feat': --- (old)Feat +++ (new)Feat @@ -1 +1 @@ -44 +107 Field 'UInt16' is different at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc\FeatList\5\Feat': --- (old)Feat +++ (new)Feat @@ -1 +1 @@ -55 +3 Field 'UInt16' is different at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc\FeatList\6\Feat': --- (old)Feat +++ (new)Feat @@ -1 +1 @@ -94 +39 Field 'UInt16' is different at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc\FeatList\7\Feat': --- (old)Feat +++ (new)Feat @@ -1 +1 @@ -98 +43 Field 'UInt16' is different at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc\FeatList\8\Feat': --- (old)Feat +++ (new)Feat @@ -1 +1 @@ -107 +44 Field 'LocalizedString' is different at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc\Description': --- (old)Description +++ (new)Description @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +-1 Field 'String' is different at 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc\Subrace': --- (old)Subrace +++ (new)Subrace @@ -1 +0,0 @@ -0 ^ 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc': GFF is different ^ --------------------------------------------------- 'p_bastilla_ktool_edited.utc' DOES NOT MATCH 'p_bastilla_ktool.utc' Sheesh! I bet you can't even guess which field I modified! Again I changed a singular field! What is all this nonsense that KTool did to my character sheet?
    Moral: Don't use KTool to modify files. It seems to have the incorrect field types defined internally and doesn't respect the original file when saving a new one.
    But KotorDiff saved the day here and outputted exactly what happened on save.
    How to use:
    Simply run the executable. It'll ask you for 3 paths:
    PATH1                Path to the first K1/TSL install, file, or directory to diff.
    PATH2                Path to the second K1/TSL install, file, or directory to diff.
    OUTPUT_LOG   File name/path of the desired output logfile (defaults to log_install_differ.log in the current directory)
    If you point PATH1 and PATH2 to two KOTOR installs, it will ONLY compare the Override folder, the Modules folder, the Lips folder, the rims folder (if exists), the StreamWaves/StreamVoices folder, and the dialog.tlk file. This was a design choice to improve how long the differ takes to finish. This includes any subfolders within the aforementioned folder names.
    Supported filetypes/formats:
    TalkTable files (TLK) Any GFF file (DLG, UTC, GUI, UTP, UTD, GIT, IFO, etc) Any capsule (ERF, MOD, RIM, SAV, etc) Not supported: NCS, NSS, ITP
    Any file format that's not supported will have its SHA256 hash compared instead.
    CLI Support:
    This is a very flexible tool. You can send it command line arguments if you would like to use it in a 3rd party tool. Run `kotordiff.exe --help` to get a full syntax. If there's an error, the exit code will be 3 (if err is known by my code) or 1 (some sys error loading the tool). If the two paths match, the exit code will be 0. If the two paths don't match, exit code will be 2. You can utilize these error codes to utilize KotorDiff in a customized 3rd party script, or add-on to WinMerge/WinDirStat, possibilities are endless.

    FAQ:
    I am struggling to read the diff output, why is it saying +/-/@38924 and what does it mean?
    A: GIT Diff is a standardized output format that has been widely adopted and used since probably the 80s/90s. https://stackoverflow.com/a/2530012/4414190 is by far the best explanation i've seen, but honestly ask ChatGPT to explain it further if needed, or send me a pm if something doesn't make sense!
    Couldn't I just open my two files with Holocron Toolset/ERFEdit/K-GFF etc?
    You could, but for me it became tedious to manually compare them side by side, expanding every node etc. Leave alone completely multiple files. This tool allows you to simply input two paths and have the full differences outputted and logged.
    A main benefit is it'll show you the exact GFF paths that differ. Output such as `Missing struct: "EntryList\5\RepliesList\3" {contents of the struct}` has been very useful.
    Why is my antivirus is flagging this?
    This is a false-positive and there's nothing I can do. Python source scripts are compiled to executables using PyInstaller, but unfortunately some antivirus's have been known to flag anything compiled with PyInstaller this way. The problem is similar to why your browser may warn you about downloading any files with the .EXE extension.
    This whole tool is open source, feel free to run directly from the source script: https://github.com/NickHugi/PyKotor/blob/master/Tools/KotorDiff/src/kotordiff/__main__.py
    There's a well-written article explaining why the false positives happen on their issue template: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/blob/develop/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/antivirus.md
    TLDR: PyInstaller is an amazing tool, but antiviruses may flag it. This is not the fault of PyInstaller or my tool, but rather the fault of how some scummy users have chosen to use PyInstaller in the past. Please report any false positives you encounter to your antivirus's website, as reports not only improve the accuracy of everybody's AV experience overall, but also indirectly supports the PyInstaller project.

  12. Kotor 2 720p Xbox Mod (Hardmod required)

    By bizotry

    THIS MOD REQUIRES THE 128mb RAM UPGRADE HARDWARE MOD!!!!!
    https://consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox:RAM_Upgrade
    CLARIFICATION: The Xbox has double the usual ram in its dev units. Meanwhile, the retail consoles use the same boards as the dev units.
    STATEMENT: Therefore, there are empty spaces to add extra RAM to your console internally. You NEED to add this ram to play Kotor at 720p.
    ---------------------------------------
    Introduction:
    This mod converts your Xbox Kotor 2 game folder into a 720p version of the game. You must have soldered additional ram into your console or you will get a black screen, as additional ram is expected.
    The original Xbox natively supports 720p output and many games officially take advantage of this feature. It has long been possible to hex edit additional Xbox games to unofficially force 720p mode, but this causes several issues that make Kotor 2 unplayable. The goal of this mod is to combine a 720p hacked .xbe with a variety of fixes so that Kotor 2 can be fully enjoyed at 720p on the original Xbox. This mod is a fully tested and recommendable way to enjoy the game.
    ---------------------------------------
    How to install:
    Put the mod into the root of your Xbox's Kotor 2 game folder. You will overwrite several files, and as a result, your game folder will permanently become a 720p version of Kotor 2. For this reason, I recommend making a copy of your original folder, so that you can easily play at 480p again if desired.
    Note: This mod is fully tested, compatible, and stable with The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification - LOTO's Xbox Version! I recommend installing that mod, testing it on your Xbox, and then installing this one on top of it.
    Another Note: A 720p AI upscaled cutscenes mod should work fine on Xbox if you prefer that over the vanilla upscaled movies. I have only tested the movies that I upscaled without AI for Xbox. If you want to try this, choose a 720p option. Also look at the Issues section below and consider keeping a few of my movie files!
    ---------------------------------------
    Changelog:
    1.0
    Implements edited 720p versions of all original Xbox .gui in game.
    Increases the size of the minimap and zooms it out to take advantage of the resolution.
    Replaces the original default.xbe with one modified for 720p by OgXHD software.
    Replaces bugged security camera effect with a blue overlay.
    Disables motion blur effect function calls in all swoop race minigame modules.
    Disables motion blur effect on jedi force runs.
    Reduces visual effect of Force Wave as it is bugged and would make it hard to see.
    Disables first person droid view effects as they were bugged.
    Replaces all movies with 720p upscaled Xbox versions (to eliminate significant black space and fill the screen.)
    Issues:
    -Three movies (only 1 in vanilla game) stutter on Xbox when displayed at 720p. To eliminate this, I reduced them to 18fps. They're all very short exterior ship shots and I think this is a decent fix. Effected movies are NarMov03, permov08, and permov09.
    -The Xbox struggles with smoke effects up close. This doesn't really hurt the game but it helps to understand why the title screens is a little laggy.
    -Atton's intercom cutscenes on Peragus and the Coruscant trial scene don't have special camera effects as a side effect of fixing security cameras.
    -Many distortion effects display incorrectly at 720p. But it's not really that bad.
    -The map on the map screen is stuck at its original size on Xbox.
    -Some feats and powers gui elements seem to be hardcoded to a degree unlike the first game. This isn't really an issue and this stuff turned out well, but it's not ideal.
    -There's a minor gui element on the main interface that seems to be entirely hardcoded. It's the text bubble that pops up when you pick a fighting behavior script for a character on the toolbar, or when you go in stealth. This is stuck at its original position, which luckily is out of the way and in a decent spot!
    ---------------------------------------
    Credits:
    Sorry if I forget anything. This project was made entirely possible due to tools and discoveries created by many people. You don't need to ask me permission to use things from this mod for your own projects.
    Hellraiser988
    Came in at the end and helped a bit with testing and debug. Provided test feedback on the character screen, a stuttering movie, and the pazaak game screen. He probably would have helped me make the whole mod if we had gotten together earlier! There aren't a lot of people who care to make dedicated mods for Xbox Kotor, so shoutout to this guy.

  14. Peragus Medical Bay Enhancement

    By WildKarrde

    This mod makes some improvements to the Peragus medical bay and the opening cutscene where the player wakes up:
    - The player now wears a breathing mask inside the kolto tank, similar to the dead miners in the other tanks.
    - The hose on the breathing mask has been replaced with a higher polygon version.  It has also been relocated to run behind the user's neck
      (mostly so that it works with the player's "waking up" animations).
    - The kolto tank bubbles have been adjusted slightly based on the parameters for the bubbles on the diving suit in KotOR 1.
    - A water column mesh has been added inside each kolto tank.  The water level in the player's tank drops as the player slumps down in
      the opening cutscene, as described in developer notes in the original DLG.  After the opening cutscene, the kolto tank
      remains empty with no fluid.
    - The dead miners have been replaced with placeable models which bob up and down slightly in the water and use somewhat
      higher-resolution head textures ported from KotOR 1.
    - The leftmost miner, which was originally identical to one of the others, has been replaced with a new female miner based on a
      ported KotOR 1 player head and DarthParametric's "Female Czerka Officer's Uniform" modder's resource.
    - A few clothing options are available for the dead miners:
        a) Vanilla-Style Uniforms:  The same uniforms which they wear in vanilla, which are slightly different than the ones worn by the
           player and the miners in the holologs.  The original uniform texture has been upscaled by Sith Holocron and is included here.
        b) Player-Style Uniforms:  Uniforms based on the combat suit model, matching the ones worn by the player and shown in the holologs
        c) Underwear:  Underwear similar to the wounded soldiers on Taris in KotOR 1
    I have also included an alternative set of head and underwear textures which appear burned, based on textures by DarthParametric.  Note that if you use them with options (a) or (b), only the heads will be burned, and the uniforms will still be undamaged.
    If you would also like the miners in the holologs to wear the type (a) uniform, you may be interested in the mod "Beta Peragus Miner Pack" by N-DReW25 (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2018-beta-peragus-miner-pack/)
    Thank you for downloading, and I hope you enjoy this mod!
    Opening Cutscene:

    Med Bay Enhancement - Opening Cutscene.mp4 -------------------------------------------------------------------
    INSTALLATION
    Run "INSTALL.exe" and follow the prompts.  When asked, select your preferred option for the dead miners' clothing.  It is normal to see warnings that 101per.mod and placeables.2da already exist and have been skipped.  If you would like to use the burned versions of the textures, copy the files from the folder "OPTION - Burned Skin Textures" into your game's Override folder after the main installation is complete.
    This mod requires a new playthrough and is not compatible with existing saves.  If you are using The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) from the Steam Workshop, see this guide for how to combine installer-based mods with the Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=488641307
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    COMPATIBILITY
    This mod requires The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/578-tsl-restored-content-mod/).  It has not been tested without TSLRCM installed.  It is also known to be compatible with the following mods:
    - The KotOR 2 Community Patch (K2CP) (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1280-kotor-2-community-patch/)
    - Peragus Tweak by VarsityPuppet (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/8-peragus-tweak/)
    - Ultimate Peragus Models Repair by PapaZinos (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2010-ultimate-peragus-models-repair/)
    - Peragus Medical Monitors and Computer Panel by Sith Holocron (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/
      1375-peragus-medical-monitors-and-computer-panel/)
    This mod is also compatible with texture-only reskin mods.  It is incompatible with any other mods which edit 101per2a.mdl/mdx or use mask/helmet variation 43.  For best results, install this mod after any of the mods listed above and any other mods which make significant changes to Peragus.

    Thank you to DarthParametric for suggesting that the moving water column could be made with a placeable, which sidestepped some visibility issues I was having with moving emitters in the area model.  Thank you also to him for suggesting that I use his burned head/underwear textures and for providing his original Photoshop files as a resource.
    Thank you to Dark Hope and DarthParametric for identifying that KotOR 1's kolto tank bubbles look better with the settings from the diving suit bubbles, which prompted me to do the same here.  (See https://deadlystream.com/topic/10826-dark-hope-wip/page/4/)
    Thank you to Sith Holocron for providing upscaled textures for the miner heads and vanilla uniform.
    Thanks to N-DReW25 for pointing out in his "Beta Peragus Miner Pack" mod that the original Peragus uniform was based on the Czerka uniform and for demonstrating that DarthParametric's female Czerka uniform resource could be handily used for the same purpose.
    This mod includes material ported from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic by Bioware.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    VERSION HISTORY
    1.0 - Initial Release
    1.1 - Added burned skin textures, suggested by DarthParametric.
    1.2 - Head and vanilla uniform textures have been upscaled by Sith Holocron.
        - Adjusted texture mapping of the right arm on the female vanilla-style miner
        - Added source code for the new scripts to the downloaded package
    1.2.1 - Additional adjustments to the texture mapping for the vanilla-style female miner
          - Adjusted the leftmost miner's head position to be more similar to vanilla

  15. Harbinger Arrival: Restore Movie

    By JoeNotCharles

    NOTE: this is now packaged together with my other Harbinger Arrival mod as Harbinger Arrival Tweaks.
    TSLRCM replaces the single movie when the Harbinger arrives at Paragus with a 3-step sequence: a movie, an in-engine cut scene, then another movie. This puts the original movie back while keeping all the other TSLRCM changes.
    Why do that?
    The main reason to prefer the in-engine cut scene is that the original movie looks awful - space shots of the ship arriving can get away with a fuzzy low resolution, since they're so different from the gameplay, but the middle section really suffers by comparison. But, Naelavok's Remastered (Upscaled) Cutscenes improve the movie quality enough to compete with the rendering.
    PapaZinos' Harbinger Arrival Performance Enhancement mod does a lot of great work to make the cut scene smoother and fixes a lot of glitches, but on my machine (with the upscaled movies) there's still a loading delay when switching from a movie, to an in-engine rendering, back to a movie. The single movie has smooth fades, so it has better pacing for this important scene. I still recommend the Performance Enhancement mod, though, because it fixes a lot of other glitches in the sequence, and it greatly improves another brief cut scene after the Harbinger arrives. To make sure PapaZinos' hard work on the in-engine rendering doesn't go to waste, I used it to add a little improvement to that cutscene as well...
    Compatibility
    Not needed with vanilla TSL. Works with TSLRCM with or without the Harbinger Arrival Performance Enhancement. Tested with the KOTOR2 Spoiler-Free Mod Build, but it should work with the Full Mod Build too.
    Install this after TSLRCM and Harbinger Arrival Performance Enhancement.
    Also compatible with my Harbinger Arrival: Free Cam mod. Install them in either order.

  16. Harbinger Arrival: Free Cam

    By JoeNotCharles

    NOTE: this is now packaged together with my other Harbinger Arrival mod as Harbinger Arrival Tweaks.
    Unlocks the camera during the Harbinger arrival animation, so you can have the eerie experience of walking alongside the huge ship as it pulls closer. I think it's more ominous this way (and as a bonus, if you're replaying and don't want to watch again, you can rush through without waiting for the whole animation.)

    Tested with Vanilla KOTOR2, TSLRCM and the KOTOR2 Spoiler-Free Mod Build, but it should work with the Full Mod Build too.
    Install this after TSLRCM and anything else that modifies the Harbinger arrival sequence, such as the Harbinger Arrival Performance Enhancement (which is included in the mod build).
    Also compatible with my Harbinger Arrival: Restore Movie mod. Install them in either order.

  17. Harbinger Arrival Tweaks

    By JoeNotCharles

    Contains two changes to the Harbinger docking sequence on Peragus. Install either or both, your choice:
    Harbinger Arrival: Free Cam
    Unlocks the camera during the Harbinger arrival animation, so you can have the eerie experience of walking alongside the huge ship as it pulls closer. I think it's more ominous this way (and as a bonus, if you're replaying and don't want to watch again, you can rush through without waiting for the whole animation.)
    Harbinger Arrival: Restore Movie
     
    TSLRCM replaces the single movie when the Harbinger arrives at Paragus with a 3-step sequence: a movie, an in-engine cut scene, then another movie. This puts the original movie back while keeping all the other TSLRCM changes.
    Why do that?
    The main reason to prefer the in-engine cut scene is that the original movie looks awful - space shots of the ship arriving can get away with a fuzzy low resolution, since they're so different from the gameplay, but the middle section really suffers by comparison. But, Naelavok's Remastered (Upscaled) Cutscenes improve the movie quality enough to compete with the rendering.
    PapaZinos' Harbinger Arrival Performance Enhancement mod does a lot of great work to make the cut scene smoother and fixes a lot of glitches, but on my machine (with the upscaled movies) there's still a loading delay when switching from a movie, to an in-engine rendering, back to a movie. The single movie has smooth fades, so it has better pacing for this important scene. I still recommend the Performance Enhancement mod, though, because it fixes a lot of other glitches in the sequence, and it greatly improves another brief cut scene after the Harbinger arrives. To make sure PapaZinos' hard work on the in-engine rendering doesn't go to waste, I used it to add a little improvement to that cutscene as well...
    Compatibility
    Restore Movie isn't needed with vanilla KOTOR2. Free Cam works with it.  Both work with TSLRCM with or without the Harbinger Arrival Performance Enhancement. Install this after both of those, and anything else that modifies the Harbinger arrival sequence. Tested with the KOTOR2 Spoiler-Free Mod Build (which includes the Performance Enhancement), but it should work with the Full Mod Build too. Other Recommended Mods

  18. The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification - LOTO's Xbox Version

    By LOTO

    It's finally here!
    At last, The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification 1.8.6 has been successfully ported to the original Xbox. The game is now able to be fully completed from beginning to end with zero major issues. This upload is in the form of patched files that must be added on top of an existing installation of the mod.
     
    Requirements
    -An original Xbox capable of launching homebrew (soft or hardmodded)
    -Some method to transfer files between your Xbox and PC (FTP is recommended)
    -At least 5GB of space on your Xbox's HDD
    -A physical copy of Knights of the Old Republic II for the Xbox
     
    Installation
    1. IMPORTANT! If you have previously dumped the first Knights of the Old Republic game to your Xbox, ensure that you change the folder it's located in from
    its default ("StarWars") to any other name. If you do not do this, both games will end up dumped into the same folder, ruining both installations
    2. Use UnleashX to dump your game disc to your Xbox's HDD. Other methods of dumping the game may be possible, but I can only promise it works using UnelashX
    3. FTP the entire game folder to your PC, and create an additional backup of it on your PC in the event you need to restart the installation
    4. Run the official TSLRCM 1.8.6 installer .exe, which you can find here: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/578-tsl-restored-content-mod/
    5. Specify the Xbox dump of the game as the folder to which the mod should be installed. (i.e. D:\Games\SWKotOR2\). When in doubt, it's the folder with "default.xbe"
    located inside it
    6. Delete the following files from the newly created Override folder: 235TEL.lyt, 235TEL.vis, 235TELA.mdl, 235TELA.mdx, and 235TELA.wok,
    7. Delete every .tga file from Override
    8. [IF YOUR XBOX DOES NOT HAVE THE 128MB RAM UPGRADE] Delete 601DAN.mod from Modules
    9. Extract the contents of the Clean Install Package into the root game folder, overwriting any files if asked
    10. Delete the original, unmodified rip of KotOR II on your Xbox's HDD
    11. FTP the modified KotOR II back to your console in a location of your choosing
    12. Verify your install. In semi-rare cases, files may become corrupt during the transfer process. Compare the amount of bytes the game folder takes up on both your Xbox
    and your PC. If there is a mismatch, either repeat the transfer and compare again or simply narrow down which folders on the Xbox don't match the PC equivalent
    To update from 1.0 or 1.1 to 1.2:
    1) Delete any file that starts with "003ebo..." from Override
    2) Extract the "Update from 1.0 or 1.1" install package into the game directory, overwriting any files if asked
     
    Known Issues
    -The Battle of Khoonda currently does function on stock consoles and requires a 128MB RAM upgrade to work properly. The restored version of this sequence spawns so many NPCs that it causes the stock Xbox to choke to death on its own assets within seconds of the battle starting, so step 8 of the installation instructions remove the module file that adds the battle. If you would like to see this happen (not recommended) or have an upgraded Xbox, simply don't delete 601DAN.mod from the Modules folder.
    -On very rare occasions, a significant performance drop may occur during combat that passes after a few seconds. This may or may not be an issue with the Xbox version and may or may not be related to Jedi Guardian characters not currently controlled by the player initiating a Force Jump, but it's so uncommon that diagnosing it is difficult.
     
    If you would like to contribute to fixing the last few remaining issues, feel free to DM me and I will be happy to implement your fixes in a future update.
     
    Frequently Asked Questions:
    Will this work on Xbox 360/Xemu/Xbone/Xbox Series S/X?
    The short answer is that I don't know. I don't have any of that gear to test with, but anything that's capable of launching a game rip shouldn't have any issues. I make no promises, though.
    Why does the installation require deleting so many files? Is there content missing from the mod?
    The only content from TSLRCM that hasn't made it into this port for stock Xboxes is the battle of Khoonda (contained in 601DAN.mod) since it spawns more NPCs than the Xbox can handle. If your Xbox has a 128MB RAM upgrade, this content is available and fully functional (Thanks to Hellraiser988 and iroiry)
    Every other removed file is redundant. The .tga files have all been converted to .txb and resized to work on Xbox, and the 235TEL files in Override have been consolidated into their own .rim files in the rimsxbox folder and no longer need to be present in Override.
    Do I have to use UnleashX to rip the game?
    Not necessarily. However, some methods of dumping Xbox games purposefully leave out some files to conserve HDD space and that could pose an issue. I used UnleashX to dump my own copy and that's what I used to port the mod, so I can guarantee it works. Use other methods of acquiring a dump of the game at your own risk.
    Will you be porting [insert mod here] to the Xbox?
    Maybe. It's a decent workload and some mods require a lot more tinkering than others, so it just comes down to what (if any) I'm interested in. Fortunately, if you've managed to dump your copy of KotOR II to your Xbox, you have exactly as much modding experience as I had when I started this project; so feel free to take matters into your own hands.
    Is there a widescreen patch for the Xbox? Will you make one?
    As far as I'm aware there is not a widescreen patch for the Xbox version of the game and I have less than zero interest in making one. Play the game in 4:3. It's better that way.
    I'm experiencing the dialogue skipping bug and/or frequent mysterious game crashes. What do I do?
    Some files probably got corrupted during the FTP process. It happens sometimes and there's nothing I can do about it. Repeat step 12 of the installation instructions. If your game folder on the Xbox's HDD is exactly the amount of bytes it is on your PC, contact me either via DM on Deadly Stream or Discord (_LOTO_)
     
    Special Thanks

  19. C.H.O.R.D. A Comprehensive, Holistic, Overhauled, Realistic, Difficulty Mod

    By Aviat3d

    ######## SUMMARY ########
    CHORD: Is a Comprehensive, Holistic, Overhauled, Realistic, Difficulty mod that provides a thorough, interconnected enhancement to the game, making it more immersive, challenging, and engaging.
     
    Unlike other difficulty mods that only make small config changes or just add small tweaks, this mod seeks to provide a complete overhaul to all the existing items, creatures, and configuration settings that affect the game.
     
    In addition, this mod wants the settings to be flexible, fair, but challenging. Giving a Darksouls-like, modern-day experience. 
     
    ######## REQUIREMENTS ########
    This mod requires the following mods:
    - TSL Restored Content Mod 1.8.6
    - High-Level Force Powers (v2 & v2.1)
    - Content Pack- Feats and Powers
     
    ######## INCOMPATIBLE MODS ########
    Any mods that edits 2da files, the .utc creature files, or the .uti item files affected in this mod will be incompatible with this mod.
     
    For mods that add new armor or shield items altogether, for now they probably won't be compatible. But comment or message me and let me know which mod you're wanting to combine with this, and I will add a patch (I play with a ton of mods, new item mods included, so there's a good chance I already have made a patch for my local version).
     
    Mods that would be redundant or clash with this and aren't needed are:
    - Formidable Sith Lords
    - Unstoppable Lightsaber Damage
    - Ultimate Balancing Mod
     
    Incompatible mods:
    Anything that adds new content like M4-78 where it edits existing items, monsters, and adds new ones will need to have a patch made. Someone is welcomed to do this if they really care enough, personally I am not a fan of M4-78 so that is why this mod doesn't have built in compatibility. 
     
    These mods won't ruin this mod or cause any crashes, etc. But it will break the very tight system that is carefully put together and planned out for this mod. So, if you start seeing less than ideal balance and integration, you know why!
     
    ######## HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MODS ########
    - Improved AI 2.2 (I might add my own custom AI that integrates better and adds more depth, but this is a great mod / solution for now)
    - Lonna Vash Mod for TSLRCM (Imho a much better mod than something like m4-78, also makes it so that a gray force user can enter the force cave / tomb where you have the "apathy is death" line. In the default game you need max / very high dark side or light side alignment to enter. So, this mod in combination with mine actually makes a gray force user character a rewarding and viable option)
    - v2.0 Ultimate Workbench (TSL Crafting System)
    - KOTOR2-Loot-Overhaul (just copy files in tslpatcher folder to override to install)
     
    ######## IINSTALLATION ########
    Just drag and override all .uti, .utc, and . 2da files in your override folder. For the dialog.tlk and changes.ini file I recommend you add my changes by hand (tedious I know, but I am planning to add a patcher to hopefully solve this in a future update).
     
    ######## CHANGES OVERVIEW ########
    - This mod changes all the original games armor, robes, armored robes, armor upgrade items, and human shields, as well as some belts, masks, and implants.
     
    - It also modifies all creatures / npcs so they are more challenging. For a good number of common creatures / npcs and unique monsters, bosses, and sub-bosses they have been carefully customized to have unique stats, skills, custom gear and inventory items, and power and feat setups for added challenge. 
     
    - Finally, this mod modifies a large amount of 2da configuration files as well.
     
    ######## ARMOR, ROBES and ARMORED ROBES LOGIC SUMMARY ########
    In KOTOR 2 the Defense stat has nothing to do with damage reduction, it only determines if an enemies attack hit or misses using a d20 DnD system. For source see: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic_II:_The_Sith_Lords/Combat
     
    Because DEF basically is evasion, it makes no sense that heavy armor makes you essentially move like a gazelle and make you hard to hit. Whereas robes make it to where you basically have little to no dodge-ability and are basically a tank but without the damage reduce that realistically being a tank should provide you.
     
    So, a massive change needs to happen here to fix this problem within the KOTOR 2 game system. 
     
    I made it so that robes give you very high dodge-ability as you would come to expect based on logic and what we see in the movies. Whereas with armor you now have damage immunity properties attached to all armor, and their DEF bonuses and DEX bonuses heavily reduced and rebalanced. This rebalancing applies to not just light, medium, and heavy armor, but also the sub-tiers within those categories.
     
    For instance:
    Light Armor includes: 
    - class / tier 4 armor
    - class / tier 5 armor
     
    Medium Armor includes: 
    - class / tier 6 armor
    - class / tier 7 armor
     
    Heavy Armor includes: 
    - class / tier 8 armor
    - class / tier 9 armor
     
    So, the rebalancing even takes into consideration the subcategory ligher and heavier light/medium/heavy armors in these breakdowns so that logically and realistically it makes more sense and gives a more thorough level of customization.
     
    Jedi Armored Robes and Robes also receive their own custom rebalancing that follows a logic trend. In essence, robes provide high dodging, generous bonuses, and increase force/lightsaber damage output, but no damage reduction whatsoever (which can be bad depending on the areas, bosses, and difficulty settings). Robes don't cap the +1 defense bonus you get for every 2 points of DEX, so with this setup you are having to rely on dodging, shields, and brains to avoid taking hits. 
     
    Jedi Armored Robes provide damage reduction, but less than what you'd see in even the lightest traditional light armor. That said, you will get bonuses, damage reduction, and some decent dodge-ability.
     
    Here's a rundown of how the logic plays out in general for armor, robes, etc. (note for special named items there's some intentional variance here, also, depending on the item name and description there might be some custom flavorings added intentionally). 
     
    Armor Mod Logic:
     
    Heavy = 65%-70% damage immunity resistance, Def = -11 to -12 (negative def modifier and MAX DEX DEF bonus = 0, usually will result in lowering DEF from this modifier, heavy armor by default gives 8-9 DEF, so this fixes that)
     
    Medium = 57.5%-60% damage immunity resistance, Def = - 6 to -7 (0 or 1, if no custom DEF bonuses and MAX DEX DEF bonus = 0 to 1)
     
    Light = 45%-50% damage immunity resistance, Def = - 2-3 (should only be 2 if no custom item bonuses and MAX DEX DEF bonus = 2 unless other bonuses)
     
    Robes / Clothes = 0% damage immunity resistance, DEF 13-15, lots of other bonuses (especially attribute bonuses, more force damage/power, and more force recovery)
     
    Jedi Armor = DEF + 7-9, and 35% to 40% damage immunity resistance + other bonuses (but less than what robes would provide, unless it's a rare armored robe and you're comparing to like a Padawan robe)
     
    Droid Armor (generally follows a similar system as the light to heavy armors above, with some realism tweaks like being more resilient to fire and elemental damage like cold and sonic, but more vulnerable to elements like ion and electrical damage). In general, droids aren't really supposed to move like gazelles, and heavy and assault armor will provide better results with party members like HK-47. 
     
    ######## OTHER CHANGES ########
    - shields now are 1.5x stronger across the board and have 10 charges instead of 5, feats and give an addition 1.6x strength boost.

    - Force alignment breakdown:
    from forceadjust.2da file:

    row ---------goodcost --evilcost
    0 -----------2.25 ------- 1 // max evil, 1 to 1 cost or base cost of a given dark/neutral power, 2.25x means over double FP cost for good
    1 -----------2.00 ------- 1
    2 -----------1.75 ------- 1
    3 -----------1.50 ------- 1
    4 -----------1.25 ------- 1
    5 -----------0.85 ------- 0.85 //neutral alignment, since no attribute bonuses, these characters given a 15% FP reduction for all powers.
    6 -----------1 ---------- 1.25
    7 -----------1 ---------- 1.50
    8 -----------1 ---------- 1.75
    9 -----------1 ---------- 2.00
    10 ----------1 ---------- 2.25. // max good, 1 to 1 cost or base cost of a given good/neutral power, 2.25x FP cost for dark powers


    - All force powers are easily 2x to 4x times more costly. the more broken the power, the more the cost. That said, cost is reasonable and calculated, but you won't be spamming all force powers willy nilly unless youre a neutral, gray force user. In general, you will get to spam a high level ability about 4-5 times if using someone like Kreia with a ton of Wisdom

    - all companions now gain 90% of the xp you gain, instead of 80% like base game

    - all level xp requirements are cut in half. So you can reach level 50 without cheats.

    - Autobalance.2da is modified to be slightly more balanaced here's the new updated version:

    Row  ----------name ------------vpmult  ------------tohitmult ------------armormult ------------damagemult ------------savemult ------------crmod ------------levelmult
    0  ----------No_Auto_Balance  0.0--------------------0.0---------------------0.0 ------------------------0.0-------------------------- 0.0 ---------------------0 -------------------0
    1------------Set_1------------------- 0.80-----------------1.3----------------------1.3----------------------- 0.100------------------------1.3----------------------1--------------------1.00
    2------------Set_2------------------- 0.90-----------------1.3----------------------1.3------------------------0.100------------------------1.3----------------------1.5-----------------1.00
    3------------Set_3--------------------1.00-----------------1.3----------------------1.3------------------------0.100------------------------1.3----------------------2--------------------1.00
    4------------Set_4--------------------1.10-----------------1.3----------------------1.3------------------------0.100------------------------1.3----------------------3--------------------1.00
    5------------Set_5--------------------1.2-------------------1.3----------------------1.3------------------------0.100------------------------1.3----------------------4--------------------1.00

    Before in version 1.0.0 damagemult was 1.000 for all 5 sets of enemies, which was leading to massive damage with armor, so now I reverted it to 0.100 which is very close to the default settings for this value in the original, default autobalance.2da settings.
    For more info on autobalance.2da see source: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic_II:_The_Sith_Lords/Autobalance

    Note, these values are pretty balanced so far and had a lot of thought put into them. enemies lack armor, so having slightly more health than normal, better chances / attack to hit (requiring higher DEF to evade), having more base DEF from armormult by 1.3x and having better saving throws 1.3x all works really well. For levelmult in the base default settings enemies are never 1 to 1 as you, there level mainly effects their health and their chance to resist / save against force powers like insanity.

    That said, even with all of these slight buffs, my Kreia with 25 wisdom can beat their save throws atleast 4/5 times, and I can hit them with my STR build character with 25 STR about 3.5/5 times per each attack roll.

    crmod does nothing to affect difficulty, it only determines the amount of xp given by enemies.

    damagemult is very close to the base game's configuration for these enemy sets, I just made it more uniform for ease of calculation.

    - difficultyopt.2da has been modified to the following: (these are the gameplay difficulty settings you can manually set in the options scr

    desc ------------damage multiplier
    Effortless-------------0.00
    Very Easy-------------0.25
    Easy-------------------- 0.5 
    Normal-----------------1.0 
    Tough-------------------2.0
    Challenging-----------2.5 
    Difficult-----------------3.0
    Very Difficulty--------3.5
    Overpowering--------4.0
    Insanity-----------------4.5
    Suicide------------------5.0
    Default------------------1.0


    - diffsettings.2da: (ths can add an additional damage multiplier, previously was 100, 125, 150, 175, 200) not sure how this works (the general consensus is still out on what this does exactly and how it behaves. So I set everything to 100 so that there is no damage reduction or modifier here to simplify balancing enemy damge:

    name
    MaxNPCDamagePercent dmeasy  easy---normal---hardcore----dmplayers
    --------------------------------------25----------100 ---100--------100-----------100
     
    ######## DIFFICULTY SETTING OPTIONS RECOMMENDATION ########
    Personally, I recommend you play this with a difficulty level between Difficult (3x enemy damage modifier), Very Difficult (3.5x enemy damage modifier), and Overpowering (4x enemy damage modifier).
     
    I personally like Very Difficult to Overpowering, the balance there feels just about right in most cases. 
     
    If you choose to play on Insanity (4.5x enemy damage modifier) or Suicide (5x enemy damage modifier) and you manage to beat the game without cheats, then you will have all bragging rights, and I will be personally impressed.
     
    ######## FUTURE UPDATES ########
    I plan to add custom patches for other armor mods, as well as continue to refine the creature and item updates, so stay tuned and consider following this mod!
     
    ######## PERMISSIONS ########
    This mod can be freely used and shared for non-commercial purposes; all I ask is that I am properly credited. So, feel free to make your own patches and mods on top of this one.
     
    ######## SUPPORT ########
    I poured my heart and soul into this mod. Hundreds of individual files were edited using the KOTOR TOOL. As well as hours thinking about the new, balanced armor system that allowed for rewarding gameplay without making you unstoppable and breaking the immersion this mod seeks to establish. I spent a long time on this, so I hope it brings you enjoyment in your KOTOR 2 game.
     
    All I ask is that if you enjoy this mod that you like it, endorse it, rate it, and tell your friends about it! If you're feeling generous then please star the Github repo for this mod and consider following me on GitHub.
     
    If you'd like to help me on this modding journey than feel free to reach out. The ultimate goal of this mod is the make the best mod possible and I am happy to share the spotlight. If we can greatly increase KOTOR 2's replayability and make it way more fun than this mod will have accomplished what it set out to do.
     
    NOW GO OUT THERE AND HAVE SOME FUN! And remember... Apathy is death!

  20. Traya to Kreia

    By Thor110

    This was a mod requested by @Snigaroo a little while ago.
    As they finally sent me some screenshots, I thought I would upload it for those that want to apply this tiny change to their game.
    All the mod does is change the appearance of Darth Traya in the Tomb so that instead she has the appearance of Kreia.
    Installation : Use HoloPatcher
    Uninstallation : Use HoloPatcher or restore the backup created by HoloPatcher

  21. Movie Style Replacement Lightsaber Hilts (TSL)

    By Marius Fett

    This mod gives each colour of lightsaber present in the game its own unique hilt based on one from the Star Wars films:
    Blue – Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ep. III)
    Red – Darth Vader (Ep. IV)
    Green – Luke Skywalker (Ep. VI)
    Yellow – Plo Koon
    Purple – Mace Windu
    Orange – Luminara Unduli
    Cyan – Luke Skywalker (Ep. IV)
    Viridian – Qui-Gon Jinn
    Silver – Shaak Ti
    Bronze (TSLRCM) – Darth Sidious
     
    Massive thanks to Plasma, who originally created these hilt models for Jedi Academy and permitted me to release my ported versions for the KotOR community to enjoy too.
    Thanks to Crazy34 for making his lightsaber blades with ambient lighting available as a modders resource for the rest of the community to incorporate into their mods.

  22. Darth Malak's Lightsaber (TSL)

    By Marius Fett

    This mod gives Darth Malak his own unique lightsaber hilt and also uses Crazy34’s lightsaber blade with ambient lighting.
    Darth Malak’s lightsaber was the only one not altered with my Movie Style Lightsaber Hilt Replacement mod, so this mod is intended to be used alongside that for consistency.
    Darth Malak’s lightsaber isn’t actually present in the vanilla game, so this mod is intended to be used alongside not only my Movie Style Replacement Lightsaber Hilt Replacement mod, but also my Secret Tomb Lightsaber Adjustments mod, which gives Malak back his longer bladed lightsaber during the encounter in the Secret Tomb on Korriban.
    If you don’t wish to use that mod for whatever reason, or if you want to have this lightsaber for your PC to use, you can always use cheats to grant it to yourself using the code ‘giveitem g_w_lghtsbr06’.

  23. K2 Cutscenes Rescaled

    By Pops Maellard

    This mod modernizes all K2 cutscenes by upscaling, slight compositing, and remaking text elements. This in 3440x1440, 3840x2160,  2560x1440 and 1920x1080 resolutions at the original framerate (and soon interpolated to a 60fps version).
    Disclaimer
    This mod only includes enhanced cutscenes/legal screens. Adjusting your game to the preferred resolution is necessary.
    Information
    - Cutscenes have been upscaled using a combination of AI models in Topaz Video AI 5, then re-composited and exported back to bink files at a high bitrrate.
    - Remade the subtitles for videos KreMov01 and ScnMov01
    - Remade legal screen (alt screens featuring art by Francis Hsu)
    - Remade credits crawl in MalMov12, MalMov14 and Credits
    - Remade title crawl in PerMov01
     
    Installation
    - Download preferred resolution.
    - Extract the downloaded .bik files into the  "movies" folder in your game installation directory. Remember to make a backup of the original folder first if you want to restore them at some point.
    - Extract the prefered legal screen from the "tex" folder to the "override" folder in your game installation directory.
    - Overwrite with any preferred alt versions.
    Alts
    - "legal" an alternative legalscreen option. (or even 2 versions when using the 3440x1440 resolution)
    - "nosubs" removes subtitles from videos KreMov01 and ScnMov01
    - "whitesubs" adds white instead of green subtitles to videos KreMov01 and ScnMov01

    Let me know if  you run into any issues or have any thoughts. This is by no means perfect since the upscaling process still introduces a lot of artifacts but I'm hoping to revisit and improve this project whenever there's a significant update in available upscaling video tech. K2 also features videos with way more anti-aliasing and interlacing issues than K1 for some reason.

  24. KOTORModSync

    By th3w1zard1

    Please see http://github.com/th3w1zard1/KOTORModSync for the main repo.
    Please report any bugs or problems you encounter. While I test this heavily, it's difficult to find any and all problems when incorporating 200+ mod's instructions across dozens of operating systems and platform combinations. If you happen to notice something odd or out of place, please report them.
     
    KOTORModSync is a multi-mod installer for KOTOR games that makes it easier to install and manage mods.
    I usually install the Reddit mod build every year or so. The process takes about an hour and it's repetitive moving files, running tslpatcher, deleting specific files, and occasionally renaming some files. The last time I installed the modbuild I made a mistake on a single different step, 3 times in a row. Most mistakes require a full restart from the beginning. This is tedious, so I decided to create an installer creator in C# to simplify the process.

    Goals
    Mod creators work really hard on their mods. It's the least we can do to install them and use them, right? However, who wants to reinstall to vanilla and spend several hours reinstalling mods, just to add 1 or 2 extra mods on top of it? Other mod managers I've tried were either too difficult to configure, require significant changes to a hard-to-understand configuration file, or only provided limited functionality for defining new mods. KOTOR mods definitely can have complex dependency relationships with each other in regard to compatibility, due to the nature and age of TSLPatcher.
    Usage
    If you are an end user just wanting to install some mods, simply load up the instruction files provided, choose the mods you want from the left list and any options, and press 'Start main install' Watch Xuul's tutorial video here: Effortless Modding with Kotor Mod Sync: The Ultimate Guide for Star Wars KOTOR Mods (youtube.com)
    If you are a mod developer, this program contains a full-blown instruction editor that'll allow you to quickly create instructions for your mod and define its compatibility with other mods. See Dependencies/Restrictions and InstallBefore/InstallAfter explanation - Pastebin.com for more information. See the video tutorial here: Creating involved instructions for KOTORModSync - YouTube

    Features
    Can install the https://kotor.neocities.org/ mod builds in about 20 minutes from a vanilla install. Supports TSLPatching on mac/linux without wine! Select the individual mods you want for an install - the dependencies and incompatibilities will automatically be chosen and sorted. This means end users don't have to worry about specific instructions regarding other mods in the list. All the compatibility steps are handled internally by KOTORModSync and the default instructions files provided here. An end user simply can select the mods they want to install in the left list, and any customizations if they like, and simply press 'Install All' to have everything installed automatically. This program has a built-in GUI editor and an installer packed into one. Modbuild creators can create instructions with little to no knowledge of the format and easily share them with end users. End users can install everything from the instruction file with a simple click of a button. Edit any instructions and verify the configuration with built-in tools. Some support to dry run an install. A flexible configuration editor and parser utilizing TOML syntax. This is very user-friendly and similar to INI which TSLPatcher already uses and most modders are used to. Create instructions files with complex dependency structures for multiple mods, and have end users install everything exactly according to the instructions created. No more manually copying/deleting files: KOTORModSync handles all of that for your end user. Platforms
    KOTORModSync is a cross-platform 32-bit and 64-bit .NET application. It is compatible with the following operating systems:
    Windows 7 and 8: Compatible if running .NET Framework 4.6.2 or higher. Windows 10 and 11: Fully compatible with any Windows release. Linux and Mac: Fully compatible - choose one of the two that match your operating system. Users do not need to download any additional runtimes: everything is self-contained within the application.
    Linux
    You may need additional X11 libraries. In order to get this working on WSL, for example, I had to install the following packages:
    sudo apt install libsm6 libice6 libx11-dev libfontconfig1 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxau6 libxcb1 libxdmcp6 libxcb-xkb1 libxcb-render0 libxcb-shm0 libxcb-xfixes0 libxcb-util1 libxcb-xinerama0 libxcb-randr0 libxcb-image0 libxcb-keysyms1 libxcb-sync1 libxcb-xtest0 Then you can simply run in a terminal like this:
    ./KOTORModSync If you run into problems with the Linux or Mac builds, please contact me and I'll try to get a fix ready for the next release.

    This man saved me a countless amount of hours. I'd still be struggling through game glitches and mod-specific instructions I didn't understand. Actually, I'd probably still be on Dantooine trying to determine why I'm getting visual glitches and crashes which he solved with the one-word message 'grass'.
    Cortisol
    Created HoloPatcher and the PyKotor library that KOTORModSync uses to patch mods. These projects are the main reason KOTORModSync can be supported on Mac/Linux. While the PyKotor/HoloPatcher projects have had some issues, this guy was more or less available for comment if I had questions on how I could fix any remaining problems myself.
    JCarter426
    There were so many KOTOR-specific things to learn, without his help I'd still be trying to deserialize encapsulated resource files. His time and patience were incredibly useful to the project and this project would be impossible without him.

  25. Secret Tomb Lightsaber Adjustments

    By Marius Fett

    This mod corrects what I perceive to be two bugs/errors in the Secret Tomb on Korriban.
    Malak will now attack with a longer lightsaber like the one he used in the original KotOR and the Dark Side apparition of Kreia will attack with a red lightsaber instead of the blue one she was given by Obsidian.
