Mods

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

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.

The vanilla-style female miner uniform is based on the "Female Czerka Officer's Uniform" modder's resource by DarthParametric (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1955-female-czerka-officers-uniform-modders-resource/). It is used here in accordance with the permissions stated on its download page.
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

Traya to Kreia

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.

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!

Darth Malak's Lightsaber (TSL)

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’.

Movie Style Replacement Lightsaber Hilts (TSL)

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.

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.

HK-47 Disabled Animation Fix

This mod corrects an issues with the HK-47 model which caused his eyes to still be illuminated whilst this disabled/powered down animation was playing. This made little sense to me, so I went in and edited the animation to switch off self-illumination for the eye meshes during the disabled animation for a more immersive experience.

90SK's Nihilus Mask

By 90SK

90SK's Nihilus Mask
v.1.0.1
Wearable Nihilus mask based on the force visor model. It has been adapted from Nihilus artwork and replaces the nihilus mask item in TSL, with the same description. I believe the stats will be the same, and the code for it is ' giveitem nihilusmask '

Special thanks to Fred Tetra, author of KOTOR Tool, and Obsidian / Bioware for their original material.

Streamlined Peragus

The opening act of The Sith Lords gets a bad rap. It's actually very atmospheric and gives a great introduction to the themes of the game (especially if you install a skin like A Darker Peragus). It only has one real problem: it's too long and repetitive. Especially since TSL rewards replaying to try different paths, it can be a chore to get through at the beginning of a new game.
This cuts out about a quarter of the length without sacrificing any plot points, by removing a large section that doesn't reveal anything new, and changing some frustrating level design decisions that add delays and backtracking without adding meaningful choices. This should give new players a better opening experience to the game, as well as letting experienced players get through the first segment faster. The full list of changes is below, if you want spoilers:
I recommend also installing my Harbinger Arrival: Free Cam mod, which speeds up a long unskippable animation sequence. It's separate so that it can be installed on its own for people who don't want the more drastic changes in Streamlined Peragus.
Compatibility
Requires TSLRCM. Tested with the Full Mod Build and the Spoiler-Free Mod Build. Install this after them. Also compatible with my Harbinger Arrival Tweaks. Install them in any order. Modifies the map of 103PER (Fuel Depot), so this will conflict with any other mod that replaces 103per.lyt or 103per.vis. Known Bugs (spoilers)

No Alignment Shift Effects

By Nereithr

This removes the visual “cloud” around your character and the musical sting that occur whenever you gain dark/light side points. This patches visualeffects.2da to remove the visual effect and guisounds.2da to point to a new silent audio file. I wasn't sure if just leaving the reference to an audio file empty was a good idea, so I went with an empty sound file. This should preserve any other instances of the light/dark side music stings playing, since it removes just the GUI sound associated with point gain.
Why
Because having this play as a cloud of red death manifests around you just because you told some overconfident thug that their skull is overdue for a date with the pavement is ridiculous.
Likewise, having this play accompanied by blue air freshener mist because you chose the only dialogue option that makes you sound even remotely like a human being devalues what "light side" is.
This doesn't fix the core issue of light/dark side points being handed out in dollops for the slightest actions, but at least this makes the game guilt-trip and gaslight you slightly less.
Installation
Unzip, read the ReadMe.txt, open Install.exe, follow the instructions.
Uninstallation
Instructions are in the ReadMe.txt
Compatibility
Should be compatible with everything, including other mods that change visualeffects.2da and guisounds.2da.
Known Issues
None.
However, as I have not yet finished the game, if VFX_IMP_DARKSIDE and VFX_IMP_LIGHTSIDE are referenced as an effect anywhere outside of creating the cloud around the player character, those instances will be made invisible as well.

Xbox Blue GUI

While working on my KotOR1 Port I have been preparing the files for the Xbox GUI and thought I would post it as a stand-alone mod just as I did with the PC version.

Warning : This is experimental! Backup your .xbe file just in-case, or don't use the one included. ( Dialog Text & some other elements will remain a TSL Green without it )

I couldn't get everything quite perfect unfortunately due to the way it works, I also had to edit hard coded values in the .xbe file in order to remove any traces of the TSL Green, details on how I did this are available in my KotOR Modding Tutorial Series #24 - [ADVANCED] - Hard Coded GUI Elements.

Installation
If you have the game on your hard drive, FTP the files over to the games directory.
Alternatively, you can unpack the disc image and remake it using c-xbox tool as I have done for testing with Xemu.

No Mines On Malachor, Only Gas!

NOTE : This is included with the Expanded Galaxy Project already.
Another request by @Snigaroo that I thought was worth taking on because it is something that has always bothered me too.
This mod removes the appearance of mines on Malachor by adding a new trap type to the game that uses a new model that doesn't contain a mine.

Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with any and all other mods, unless they happen to change the mines on these levels ( 901MAL & 902MAL ) or replace k_trp_generic.ncs

Installation : HoloPatcher
Use HoloPatcher to install the mod.

Uninstallation : HoloPatcher
HoloPatcher also generates an uninstall script after installation, use this to uninstall, you can also access that feature under Tools -> Uninstall in HoloPatcher itself.

952cor_19.wok
952cor_32.mdl
952cor_32.mdx
952cor_32.wok
Uninstallation
Delete the following files from your override folder.
610dan_19.mdl
610dan_19.mdx
610dan_19.wok

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
Though this is my release of the port, and I have been the one to do all of the labour in putting it together, this would not have been possible without assistance from various members of the KotOR community including, but not limited to:

-Jacqyl Frost, for offering to playtest the mod
-JCarter426, for technical support, bugfixes, and creating SithCodec
-Thor110, for technical support
-armado548, for pioneering much of the early steps of the process and leaving enough of a paper trail for me to pickup on
-bead-v, creator of MDLEdit
-Fair Strides, creator of ERFEdit and DLG Editor
-Darth_Sapiens, creator of KOTOR TOOL
-Blue, for creating KotOR Scripting Tool
-Monochrome Jones, for creating the "LOTO's Xbox Version" text in the logo
-The original TSLRCM team, for creating the mod in the first place
-Sith Holocron, for creating and implementing the in-game logos for the mod
-Jacd28, for contributing to the s_male02.mdl/.mdx fix
-darthbdaman, for providing the Visas lightsaber training fix
-Hellraiser988 and iroiry, for verifying that the Battle of Khoonda works with a RAM upgraded Xbox
If you don't see your name here and feel as though you contributed to the project, I apologize! Please DM me and I will add your name here without delay.

Harbinger Arrival: Free Cam

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.)
Compatibility
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.
