Diversified Jedi Captives on the Star Forge 1.2.4

@ADG12311990 if you'd be so kind as to beta test this - https://www.darthparametric.com/files/kotor/k1/[K1]_Diversified_Jedi_Captives_on_the_Star_Forge_JC_Hybrid_Robes_Compatibility_Patch.7z

Edit: I have updated the patch to include a 2DA patcher (thanks to assistance from @VarsityPuppet). It will patch your appearance.2da so that the new model and texture work properly. Read the included readme.txt for further details.

If you have such an opportunity, please make a patch for compatibility of this modification with the mod JC's Fashion Line I - Cloaked Hybrid Robes for K1.  I myself have made several attempts to create such a patch for personal use, but have failed.  I tried changing the name of the linked tpc file to DPTWMaster, and also tried changing dp_danjedimtw, but apparently the binding to the outfit of the Jedi Master does not leave any alternatives, it will have to be attached to other clothes in this case. The only option is to change the Jedi Master Twilek model itself, but here my options are extremely limited.Thank you in advance!

The beta patch is literally in the post right before yours. Nobody has tested it yet.

I'm honored to do it!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!  Your compatibility patch really works! Ignore the fact that there are many clones in the images - this is my oversight, most likely caused by the incorrect installation sequence of your modification and the JC's Jedi Tailor for K1 v1.4 mod

This mod is not comparability  with the KOTOR 1 Community Patch. The two mods together causes some of the Jedi bodies to go missing. Here's a example: https://youtu.be/aGealaW5kQE?t=121

Seeing as how K1CP doesn't even touch sta_m45ad, the final module, your problem is almost certainly user error.

Would it be possible to have a compatibility patch for  https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1430-k1-better-twilek-male-heads/??

EDIT: Let me rephrase...I'm not a modeler, so how difficult would it be for one to recompile the male twilek heads, so that this Mod uses the thin neck male head models from https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1430-k1-better-twilek-male-heads/??

thanks DarthParametric but I believe it has compatibility issues with bos:sr mod (even if installed after bos:sr) as the female captives remain invisible (as shown in a video posted here), I verified the placebles and I think this happened due to placeable overflow as it has 258 lines, is there a way to fix this issue?

Yes, since placeables.2da has a number of unused vanilla rows you could manually edit it and reassign this mod's placeables to those rows. Since your 2DA is borked anyway you'd want to start with a fresh install, so you could just edit the mod's changes.ini to switch it from adding new rows to editing existing rows. Rows 47, 62, 78, 90, 94, 97, 115 all have no models assigned and so can be replaced. Rows 8 and 9 are probably also ok to replace.

well, it seems manual editing the lines doesn't work (at least not without a few bugs) can you tell me what exactly do I need to change in the changes.ini to replace the lines properly, I'm not a TLSpatcher expert I'm afraid 😢

Just editing the 2DA by itself won't work. The associated UTPs would also need to be edited to point to the new row IDs.

still not setting up properly, what are the commands and lines I need to replace in the changes.ini

as a matter of fact I also have the exaclty same problem, DarthParametric can you explain to me exacly how to make these changes and make the mod work with bos:sr

Hi,

I went to use the compatibility patch for the cloaked jedi robes, placed a copy of appearance.2da in the PATCH_FOR_v1.2 folder, and the patcher is telling me "Warning! The Dantooine Master Appearance row was not found! Patch process aborted." Not sure what the cause of this is nor how to fix it?

It didn't find the added appearance row for the Master. Did you actually install the optional Dantooine content from the main mod? The patch is only for that.

Same issue, installed the Jedi captives on dantooine, yet Twi'lek Jedi Master wears default robes still, even though I have installed everything properly...

Hello! As always, a great mod, bringing a touch of realism and meaning to the great game. However, I have a question. The thing is that I play the game, localized in Russian. And some of the messages and names from this mod in English, made by you, a little "do not fit" into the overall canvas. For example,  "Captive Jedi". I'm used to bring everything to a common denominator, so could you tell me how to localize these individual lines of code? I would be very grateful. If anything, I'm an average user of Kotor Tool, GFFEditor, etc., so I think I can manage with your help. I know it's a small thing, but still.

That one is a mistake/laziness on my part. I used KOTOR Tool instead of KGFF, so the name got converted to a local string instead of using the TLK reference. I'll make an updated version of the mod that addresses it at some point, thanks for pointing it out.

If you want to fix it on your end, you'll first need a couple of tools - KGFF and ERFEdit.

Go to the game's install folder and look in the Modules folder. Find sta_m45ad.mod and open it with ERFEdit. You should see something like this:

Select the eight files dp_plc_jedifuel1.utp through to dp_plc_jedifuel8.utp and simply drag and drop them outside the ERFEdit window (for example, onto your Desktop). You can now close ERFEdit.

One at a time, open the UTPs in KGFF. Scroll down until you see the "LocName" field and click on it to select it. It should look like this:

With LocName selected, look over to the side panel on the right:

In the StringRef field where it says -1, click in that field and delete the -1, then enter 35430, like so:

Now back on the left, select the LocalString line underneath the LocName line, right click on it and choose Delete String:

After it is deleted you can save the file from the menu up the top (File -> Save). Close the file and repeat the process for the other seven UTPs. Once all the UTPs are edited and saved, cut and paste them into the game's Override folder. Note that in order for this to show up in-game, you'll need to load a save before entering the final Star Forge level with Malak. Any save already inside there will have stored the UTP data in the save itself.

The pop-up messages that show when you click on them should also be in English, but it seems like you already changed those? Those ones are added TLK strings. Since those are custom strings, other people would need to supply translated TLK strings for other languages. If you are interested in doing this for Russian, you can look at editing append.tlk in the mod's tslpatchdata folder and sending it to me.

Just got home and felt like an idiot, so reinstalled the mod, and following your guide, got to the place where you have to localize the string, but only after some time I realized that you have already introduced these changes personally. By updating the mod file. Which I hadn't noticed.
I am very grateful for your participation, attention, and such detailed instructions.
Of course, I will send you the Russian-edited file of those 4 lines about the state of the Jedi prisoners. Thank you again.

append.tlk

However, for some reason, some of the messages are now not displayed. Even after I translated the extra lines entered into dialog.tlk. Actually, it was much better for me if these extra edits weren't entered into the game's text file, because in Russian the pronouns (his, him) for the Jedi work well, since the word "jedi" (джедай) in Russian is masculine. However, it doesn't matter, it's just a little thing. You have created a great and very useful mod that plays to the atmosphere.

Seems like the TLK wasn't saved correctly. For example - Ýòà ñïîñîáíîñòü Ñèëû íå ïîäåéñòâîâàëà íè íà ïëåííîãî äæåäàÿ, íè íà ñêîâûâàþùóþ åãî ìàøèíó. Try saving the lines as a simple text file.

I guess it's all about the encoding of the text, not the incorrect save. Since I'm mostly more of a native Russian speaker, I use the Cyrillic windows 1251 encoding. I use notepad++, and the symbol  fragments you forwarded correspond to the Western European iso8859-1 encoding. So I think that's the main issue.

Ah, ok then. I'll try switching it to something like UTF-8 and see what Xoreos makes of it. Hopefully it can convert it to the correct encoding.

Edit: Hrm, not having much luck trying to change the encoding. Would be helpful if you could attach a text file with the lines in whatever encoding you use on your end (or switch it to UTF-8).

Here we go. I hope it works out now.

append.tlk append.txt

Unfortunately neither TLKEd nor Xoreos Tools can read your TLK, and trying to create a new TLK with Xoreos Tools with either a UTF-8 or Windows-1251 encoded XML also causes an error. Interestingly the Xoreos wiki page on TLK encodings doesn't have an entry for Russian for NWN/NWN2/K1/TSL/JE. What are you using to manually edit your dialog.tlk like you mentioned above and create that append.tlk?

Edit: Ah, TLK2XML/XML2TLK has a --cp1251 switch. I was running it via batch file so it was using the defaults. Guess I'll try again with that.

Edit 2: Nope, Xoreos still doesn't like my input XML when using the --cp1251 switch. Using the --utf8 switch to convert your attached TLK to XML works - is that what you saved your TLK as?
