About This File

AUTHOR: Sith Holocron
FIRST RELEASE: 21 FEB 2017
CURRENT RELEASE: 24 JUL 2024
GAME: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic I [Not recommended for Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II]
 
Description:
------------

The Galaxy Map texture of the Ebon Hawk was originally sized at 128x128. It is now sized to 512x512. In addition to the resolution bump, the actual texture is now animated.


So . . . what’s different?  The planets are now in the positions as laid out in Kexikus’ Canon Galaxy Map for KotOR 1 version 1.1 (http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/479-canon-galaxy-map-for-kotor-1/)

Note: The LEH_scre03 texture is the Galaxy Map *before* you click on it, that is when you can see the rest of the cockpit.

Not recommended for use in KOTOR2.  (For KotOR2, use this mod instead.)

There are TWO different versions of the Galaxy Map texture that you can use!
- Version 1: The original planets as laid out in the original un-modded game. This texture uses Tatooine as the spinning planet. It has 12 frames of animation.
- Version 2: In addition to the original planets, I've added Ord Mantell to the map.  This texture uses Dantooine as the spinning planet. It has 17 frames of animation.

Version 1.2: When putting together the Foreign Language edition of this mod, I noticed that the text looked crisper on the new versions.  So I redid the text for the English version 2.

As this mod upscales the texture of the map, is it effectively compatible with mods that rescale the game to widescreen, or will it look awkward? I've been looking for a mod that provides an HD texture while also giving canon positioning!

This animated texture is NOT the menu. It is the texture in the Ebon Hawk cockpit to get to the Galaxy Map menu. Your widescreen fixes won't affect this.  See attached picture for a visual explanation that is using UniWS widescreen.

Is that a Chococat avatar?

Oh, my apologies! I must have misread the description and confused the different files relating to the galaxy map. Thank you for clearing that confusion.

As for the avatar, it was designed by Miguelgarest over on Dribbble! It's meant to be Jiji from the Studio Ghibli film "Kiki's Delivery Service". Thanks for asking!
