Dexterity Adds Ranged Damage

By Atlas_Kotor

Description
In vanilla Knights of the Old Republic Strength adds damage with melee weapons but Dexterity adds no damage with ranged weapons, meaning that ranged weapons fall off very quickly and ranged weapon builds are very weak.

This mod patches swkotor.exe so that ranged weapons use your Dexterity modifier for bonus damage the same way melee uses Strength.
The change is engine-wide, so it applies to the player, party members, and all NPCs.
This was made by reverse engineering the game's code.

Installation instructions
Extract the files to your swkotor folder where your swkotor.exe file is and run dex_ranged_damage_patcher.bat. Make a backup first if you want to later uninstall it.

Use this mod however you want, you don't need any permissions from me.

K1 Modern Driver Compatibility

By Synchro

Turn off grass.
For years that has been the first answer to almost any KOTOR problem, and it was good advice, because on a modern PC the grass really does tear itself across the sky.
This patch fixes that, and quite a lot else.
KOTOR decides how to light the world once, when it starts, choosing between two methods built for graphics cards of 2003. On most machines today neither is on offer, so the game quietly falls back to a path that was never finished: no proper lighting on walls and floors, no reflections on metal or armour, no fog, no soft shadows, and none of the screen effects. It still runs. It just looks wrong, and a lot of people have never seen it look right.
This rebuilds that lighting using something every modern card does support, and puts the game back on the paths the developers actually finished. The grass is one of them.
If you play on an NVIDIA card, the lighting has been working for you all along. Those drivers still carry register combiners, one of the two original methods, and it does the job properly. It is also an extension from 2001 that no other vendor implements, surviving on one company's willingness to keep shipping it. This moves every card onto a method that is still current, so there is one path everyone is exercising rather than one propped up by goodwill.
What you get back
Grass that stays on the ground Lighting on walls and floors, the baked lighting that makes interiors look lit rather than flat Reflections on metal, armour and polished surfaces Fog, in the places the game meant to have it Soft shadows, and the screen effects: bloom, blur, film grain, the distortion around force powers, and the colour wash on some cutscenes Requirements
KOTOR 1, version 1.0.3. GOG, Steam and the CD release all work. Install it with the KotOR Patch Manager. Your game files are not modified; the manager applies the patch while the game runs.
It replaces the separate cube map fix and soft shadows fix. Both are folded in, so disable those if you have them enabled in the patch manager.
Source, releases and issues: https://codeberg.org/Synchro/kotor-modern-driver-compatibility
Settings, if you ever need them
You do not need any of this to play. The first time you run it, a file called `K1DriverCompat.ini` appears next to `swkotor.exe` with every option listed, explained, and switched off. Open it and delete the `#` in front of anything you want to change.
The one worth knowing about is `look`, which chooses between the two ways cards of 2003 drew bright light. `look = nvidia` is the default and the calmer of the two. `look = ati` lets strong lights bleach out what they land on, the way a Radeon did. Neither is a bug, and neither is more correct than the other.
Replacement shaders
You can drop your own shader files into override/shaders/, you can create it if it isn't there. The patch will use shaders in there instead of the ones it generates, with no rebuilding and no tools. They are plain text in ARB fragment program assembly, which is what the patch compiles its own into.

It sits under override so a replacement can ship as an ordinary TSLPatcher mod rather than needing its own packaging, and in a subdirectory because these are not game resources. The game ignores them completely: it only looks in override for the file extensions it knows, and has no idea what an .arb file is. Reading them is this patch's job.

For more information on naming, shader inputs, and all of the mode types, take a look at this section of the README: https://codeberg.org/Synchro/kotor-modern-driver-compatibility#replacement-shaders

Tested on
AMD, Intel and NVIDIA hardware, on Windows and on Linux through Proton, across the GOG, Steam and CD releases.
If something looks wrong
`logs/K1DriverCompat.log` in your game folder holds one session and is overwritten each run, so there is only ever one file to send. Setting `log = debug` in the ini before reproducing the problem makes it far more useful.
Thanks
@Lane and @J tested this on cards and I don't own. Nearly everything here is based on how some particular drivers behave, and that is worth nothing until somebody with that hardware runs it and reports back. The faults that turned up that way are ones I had no way of finding on my own. @Lane also wrote the KotOR Patch Manager, which is what this ships for.

Kudos Pazaak Counter Overflow Fix

By Bekzhan

Fixes an overflow in Kudos's Pazaak progression counter on Tatooine. After the player's 128th win against Kudos, tat_fazzpazzstate overflows to -128. While the counter remains negative, Kudos is effectively stuck in his novice state for the next 128 wins, reverting to his initial dialogue branch, tier-1 deck and stake. Once the counter wraps back to 0, his normal progression starts over from the beginning.
This mod caps the counter at its final meaningful state once Kudos's normal progression is complete. It also restores overflowed negative values to that final state the next time the reset script runs.
Normal progression through the first ten wins is unchanged.

Installation instructions
Copy: k_ptat_paz_rese2.ncs into your game's Override folder.
To uninstall, remove k_ptat_paz_rese2.ncs from the Override folder.

Main features
Prevents tat_fazzpazzstate from overflowing after 128 wins. Preserves Kudos's normal progression through the first ten wins. Freezes the counter at its final meaningful state once progression is complete. Automatically repairs already-overflowed negative counter values when the script next runs. Does not alter Kudos's Pazaak decks, wagers, rewards or game balance.
Compatibility
Compatible with vanilla KotOR, K1R and K1CP. The mod does not alter Pazaak decks, wagers or rewards. It may conflict with another mod that modifies k_ptat_paz_rese2.ncs or deliberately extends tat_fazzpazzstate beyond its vanilla progression.
Tested with tat_fazzpazzstate already overflowed: one final 75-credit game occurred, after which the variable was restored to 10 and subsequent games returned to the permanent high-tier state.
The original bug can be reproduced by playing 128+ games against Kudos or by manipulating tat_fazzpazzstate with KotOR Savegame Editor.
Discovered during an apparently unreasonable amount of legitimate Pazaak grinding.

Notes
Already-overflowed saves: If the counter has already overflowed, one final 75-credit game may occur before the fix takes effect. After that game, the counter is restored to 10 and subsequent games return to Kudos's permanent high-tier deck state.

Vanilla note: In the unmodded PC game, Kudos's permanent high-tier wager is only 50 credits, while his overflowed novice-state wager is 75. As a result, the original overflow can actually be advantageous for credit grinding in vanilla. This fix restores the intended permanent high-tier behavior regardless of wager values and is therefore most beneficial with K1CP (which increases the late-game stake to 500) or other mods that increase Kudos's late-game stake.

Curved Hilt Ambient Glow Lightsabers

Credit:
A Very special Thanks and Credit to Crazy34 for their "New_Lightsaber_Blades_Modder's_Res_v1" on which this mod is based! Full Credit goes to them as the models and textures used to make this mod come directly from their source material! A special thanks again to them for making these resources available to modders.

Check out their mod here:
Also check out their full release of their mod here:

Credit also very much goes to Kaidon Jorn and Sithspectre for their contributions to Crazy 34's mod as well! Without them none of these mods would be possible so please make sure to go check out all of their work also!
Description:
This Mod adds 7 new colored (well 6 colored technically) crooked hilt (think Count Dooku) lightsabers with ambient glow to Kotor 1.
To Install:
First drag all the files from the folder of the color you wish to add into your override folder.
Second if you don't already have an upcrystals.2da in your override folder drag the included .2da file to your override. If you do already have an upcrystals.2da file, add 7 rows to the bottom of your existing .2da file and paste in rows 7-13 from the included .2da into these new rows (make sure to update the row numbers if needed!)
--Note that if you don't update the upcrystals.2da the new lightsabers will appear in game but won't be customizable at a workbench.
Compatibility:
This mod should be fully compatible with Crazy34's mod, as all the lightsabers should be in unused variant slots by his mod. I am unsure about compatibility with other lightsaber mods. I believe it should work without having his mod installed, but this is not verified and again I cannot endorse his mod enough I wouldn't play without it.
Permissions:
As far as I am concerned feel free to use this mod however you see fit! Just please make sure to give due credit!
-----
Blender Tutorial for texture swapping and ambient lighting coming soon stay tuned!

Full credit goes to the original developers, artists, and respective intellectual property rights holders (Lucasfilm, Pandemic Studios, and BioWare). This is a strictly non-profit, fan-made educational project intended exclusively as a technical proof-of-concept demonstrating asset handling for the KOTOR modding community. Furthermore, I do not own or claim rights to any of the third-party tools used or described in this project; all rights belong entirely to their respective developers.

Repair Gloves

Repair Gloves
Game: KOTOR 1
Author: Dodrari Kaan
GitHub: https://github.com/danielstegink/Kotor.RepairGloves
HK-47's quest line requires an extremely high Repair rank to complete, and must be completed before you start the Leviathan arc. With the worst possible build (Soldier/Guardian, minimal Intelligence, no Force Valor or Gearhead feats), it's impossible to get a high enough Repair rank before level 15, which I consider the ideal level for doing Leviathan. To fix this, Karal Kaar on Dantooine now sells a pair of gloves that provide the necessary bonus to Repair.
Instructions
Use the TSLPatcher
Permissions
Use this mod however you want. Just make sure to credit me.
Compatibility
This mod uses TSLPatcher to modify Karal Kaar's inventory on Dantooine. Any mods that modify the same may not be compatible.

SanAndreasKotor

Adds playable Sweet, Ryder, and OG Loc to KOTOR 1. Mouths should be weighted for dialogue. Any feedback much appreciated!
Special thanks to huckpie for their permission to use the source files from their San Andreas Guitar Hero World Tour mods on Nexus, as I lacked the assets and tools to port the vanilla San Andreas Files into Blender. Go check out their mods on Nexus!
Planning on releasing Big Smoke later potentially with voiced lines for the Player character, although right now experiencing some trouble with audio breaking the game at certain points but stay tuned! If not will at the least release the model.

KOTOR1-Engine-Fixes

By VexFlint

KOTOR 1 engine fixes — grass rendering, two crashes, and game speed
Hey all. I've been poking at swkotor.exe for a while and ended up finding a handful of engine bugs worth sharing. The patches are now merged into the KotOR Patch Manager, so they're available to anyone.
Quick note on me: I'm not a reverse engineering person by trade, I'm a student. Most of this came from trial and error — build a patched exe, play it, watch it break, go back and try again. All the function names I was working from come from Lane's KOTOR 1 reverse engineering project, and without those this would have been impossible.
The grass one
If you've ever turned Grass off in the graphics options because it looked like this — long streaks and beams flying across the sky, especially on Dantooine — that was a bug, not your hardware.
RenderGrassPolys draws grass through one of three code paths depending on what your graphics driver supports. Two of those three hand OpenGL the wrong pointer: instead of the buffer holding the grass blade positions, they pass the address of a field that's never filled in. So the game reads whatever happens to be sitting in memory there and treats it as the coordinates of the grass. Hence the streaks.
The third path — the one used when your driver reports GL_ATI_fragment_shader — does it correctly. That's why this was never widely reported: plenty of setups take the good path and never see a problem. If your machine takes one of the others, grass has been broken for you this whole time. In at least one case it was because KOTOR 1 was running on integrated graphics rather than the dedicated GPU.
Lane confirmed this independently by forcing his own game down the broken path and reproducing it exactly.
There were two more issues in the same function: a memory leak of OpenGL state that broke lighting on things drawn after grass, and a double free of the grass buffer that was corrupting the heap. Both fixed.
The crashes
Two 0xC0000005 crashes, both from the same underlying problem. The renderer keeps three lists sized for exactly 5000 textures and looks things up in them using the ID number the graphics driver assigns. Those numbers keep climbing as you change areas — the driver doesn't reuse them — so after enough loading the game indexes past the end of the list and writes into memory that isn't its own.
More likely on heavily modded installs. Both spots are now bounds-checked.
Worth being clear: this stops the crash, it doesn't raise the 5000 limit. Textures past that point are skipped instead of drawn. A proper fix is possible but needs more work.
Game speed
KOTOR ties simulation speed to framerate, so on a modern machine it runs fast. The engine already contains a frame limiter, but the value that switches it on defaults to zero, so it never runs. Setting it makes the game pace itself using its own code — no driver cap or 60Hz monitor mode needed.
This is also why the post-combat movement freeze gets rarer with a cap. The direct fix for that is J's Post-Combat Movement Fix, separately available in KPM.
How to get it
Through the KotOR Patch Manager (recommended) — three patches, now merged upstream:
Texture Bucket Memory Safety — the two crash fixes Grass Buffer Double Free Grass Rendering Fix KPM injects at runtime, so your executable isn't modified and you can turn individual fixes on and off.
Or a standalone script if you'd rather patch the exe directly — it also includes the frame cap and the 4GB flag, writes a backup first, and has a --revert that restores the original bytes exactly. Link in my signature.
Either way: this needs the KOTOR Editable Executable from here on DeadlyStream if you're on Steam, since the shipped exe is encrypted. GOG's is usually fine already. The script checks and refuses anything it doesn't recognise.
Turn Grass back on once it's applied. That's the point.
Compatibility
No game content is touched, only the executable — so Community Patch, mod builds, texture packs and so on are all unaffected. Widescreen (UniWS) and the HR menu patch are fine too; apply those first and this last.
Tested on the standard PC v1.03 / editable-exe layout with a ~180 mod build (the Spoiler-Free build from the neocities guide) on AMD hardware. Should apply to GOG as well — that build is the same apart from a signature — but I haven't tested it there myself.
Credits
Lane's KOTOR 1 (GoG) reverse engineering work supplied every function name I used. Finding a bug in RenderGrassPolys is only possible once something tells you that's what the function is called. He also reviewed the patches and caught two real mistakes in my first attempt — one of which was silently breaking shadows.
Synchro is working on a much broader fix in the same area, porting the old ATI-specific shader paths to modern ARB equivalents, which fixes cubemaps, bump maps and more besides. Worth watching — it addresses the root of why so much of this game renders oddly on current hardware.
Thanks also to J, Vriff and JC in the OpenKotOR Discord for the testing and the sanity checks.
Happy to answer questions. If you've had grass turned off for years, give it a try.

Playable Ewok with 2 Hand Animations

This is a total overhaul of my previous Ewok Mod using the method I used on my Jawa mod so that the Ewok now has 2 handed weapon animations. Aware of small glitch where because Ewok is too fat 2h lightsaber clips through model slightly. Can be fixed easily probably will later.
This Kotor 1 mod adds a playable custom ewok mdl that can be placed into the override folder to replace some npcs or used in conjunction with KSE as a playable character with combat animations. No 2 hand mele combat animations at this time.
This .Zip file contains a ReadMe.txt a brief tutorial.txt on how to recreate the mod process, the custom .tga files for the textures, and finally the custom .mdl and .mdx files that can be dropped into override following the instructions in the ReadMe file. I also included a link to how to recreate the process incase anyone is interested.
