KOTOR 1 Community Patch 1.10.0

This mod is excellent. I've been downloading the bugfixes from the links because there's one or two that will conflict with other mods I have. Having this list is wonderful though.

On that note, since there's no link for the "If doing Juhani’s dialog in the wrong order, it was possible to block any further progress" issue and I can't seem to find an individual mod for it (found a guide at least), are there a few files from your compilation I could just drag into my override, and do you know off hand which files those would be?

If not I'll just follow the guide, no biggie.

Sorry I'm just now replying to this. Real life has really gotten in the way of games recently. The two files are k_hjuh_p04.ncs and k_hjuh_p23.ncs, both of which were made by Kexikus

Thanks for improving this legendary game. Is version 1.8 coming up soon?

Yes, actually! JC and DarthParametric have become contributors, and you can see what we’re doing at https://github.com/KOTORCommunityPatches/K1_Community_Patch

More specifically, you can get a quick overview of what has already been added in v1.8 in the changelog and see the progress of what we are currently working on in the issue tracker.

Would there be a way to add compatibility between this mod and the SotOR mod I've uploaded? Both seem to inject repackaged modules of the same planets.

If your mod copies .mod files, you can just run the K1CP installer after installing your mod. The K1CP injects files into the .mod files, only replacing the parts of the files that need to be replaced.

The only incompatibility would be if both your mod and the K1CP modified the same line in the same file, which shouldn’t happen :)

Okay. So if I were to install SotOR first, and then run your mod, I'd still get the fixes? Because whenever TSLPatcher detects a module already installed, it tends to just skip over the duplicate.

Slidin' here, hahah! So, the *skipping* nodes only means it skips to overwrite/replace the relevant module/s, but still is patching parts that were intended there. MOD/module files comes from mods; the original game didn't have it. So anytime you see that log, things are just fine.

Like ebmar said, it first checks if the .mod exists. If so, it skips copying it, but then continues to mod files inside the .mod.

I'm just nervous because I've read on other mod pages that mods that have identical .mod packages are incompatible with one another. Maybe that's because those .mod packages edit the same things, but I don't actually know what lines are being edited by SotOR or K1CP.

That’s because before the TSLPatcher (And even quite awhile after it was released) the only way to use .mod files was to copy them to the modules folder. So two mods with .mod files would be incompatible because you’d either use one mod’s .mod or the other, but you couldn’t use both.

Now the TSLPatcher can patch files inside .mod files, so it’s not an issue anymore. The exception is that some mod authors don’t properly utilize the TSLPatcher’s features, and still just use it to overwrite .mod files in the modules folder instead of patching them.

The Community Patches patch .mod files properly though, so they’re compatible with just about anything.

Thanks for clarifying.

On an unrelated note, can the 1.8 update make the security spike change optional? Because JC's latest mod restores their functionality and I'd prefer to use it rather than lose all the security spikes.

Yeah, JC will be releasing a compatibility patch for the K1CP with his mod when 1.8 goes live

Awesome! My checklist of mods is almost complete.

One minor thing, while waiting for 1.8... For years I was annoyed by that vertical line on Mandalore's forehead (Atton had same issue in second game). Is there any way to fix it? Thanks

This is a hardware-specific issue, so there is no catch-all solution we could include in the Community Patch. I'd suggest trying some of the methods elaborated on in
here.

 

I keep having trouble with downloading this through the TSL launcher. I've followed the reddit build all the way through to the community patcher and I added all the previous mods including the quicker TSLPatching script.. The problem I'm having is that it keeps saying "access is denied" and the folders are different every time they get denied, but they're temporary folders and I don't know how to fix this. Here's an example of one of the lines: [Error] Unhandled exception: Cannot create file "C:\Users\Kayse\Desktop\KOTOR 1 Community Patch v1.8\tslpatchdata\korr_m33aa_tmp\bartender.utc". Access is denied (0)

Hmmm...it seems you don't have the right permissions. Try right clicking on the TSLPatcher and running it as an administrator.

I have it set as running as admin, but I will try right clicking it. I also decided on reinstalling the game, and removing the desktop shortcut just as a precaution.

Okay, so I have checked all the permissions, all the stuff I needed to check, set things as admin, opened it as admin and it still does the same thing. So, at this point, how can I install this mod pack manually?

Don't run it from Program Files. Don't install the game in Program Files.

How would I do that when I only have the one drive? Steam isn't letting me make another path and I don't know how I can move stuff around without possibly messing something up. I'm clearly going to need to move my steam folder and I don't know how to do that safely or how to re-connect it up with my steam client.

Steam will let you create a new Library that you can install games to wherever you want. Open up Steam, in the menus up on the top left go to Steam -> Settings -> Downloads. Click the Steam Library Folders button up the top. Click the Add Library Folder button and choose or create a new folder somewhere. Now go to the main Library game listing and right click on KOTOR on the list on the left. Choose Properties -> Local Files -> Move Install Folder, select your new library from the drop-down list, then click the Move Folder button.
