About This File

Summary

Almost everybody on Korriban wears the standard bland Sith officer uniform. This mod alters the look of almost everybody on the planet so they're dressed more appropriately. Czerka workers wear Czerka uniforms, Sith troopers wear Sith armor, Dark Jedi wear Dark Jedi robes.

While I was going through all the files I noticed some other oddities and corrected them – things like missing items or misplaced files. See the change log for a full list of changes.

Installation

Note: It is recommended that you uninstall any previous versions of this mod before installing a new version.

  1. Extract files from the downloaded archive.
  2. Run Korriban_Back_in_Black_K1.exe.
  3. Select which version to install.
    If you have the KOTOR Community Patch installed, choose the KOTOR Community Patch-Compatible Installation option. Otherwise, choose the Basic Installation option.
  4. Click "Install Mod" and select your game directory (default name SWKOTOR).
  5. There are additional options for Uthar, Yuthura, and Tariga that you may install after the rest of the mod is installed.

Uninstallation

  1. Remove the installed files or replace from backups if necessary.

Compatibility

This mod may be compatible with but will overwrite other mods that alter the appearance or equipment of characters on Korriban. It's safest not to use it with any other mod that alters the same characters.

Some of the changes will take effect immediately, but for best results you should install this mod before visiting Korriban for the first time in your game.

Which outfit exactly would you want him in? I'm considering it as an optional patch for an update, but I'm not sure what to give him yet. I could put him in the silver Sith armor but I don't thinkthat would make him look more important. It's used for a lot of generic guys like the governor of Taris who doesn't even have a lightsaber. But I don't want to give him Bandon's outfit because I feel that should be unique to him. The third option is some sort of new outfit, maybe a reskin of either, maybe a little modeling work - which I can do, but I still don't know what I'd want for him. I'd have to think on it. I'd consider the same for Yuthura, but I just haven't had an ideas yet.

I personally believe that outfit would make sense for high ranking dark jedi, maybe he could have his own unique version of that outfit, something that screams "sith master" or something. Something that makes Uthar distinct

Give him the hood of Revan but without a mask and all black - like the emperor have in episode 6.

Hmm, I probably could give him a hood but I don't know how good it would look. It wouldn't animate (as much as Revan's hood doesn't animate) and the collar would have to be redone for it to connect. I'll think about it, though.

Shem's mod that gave Korriban students robes gave Uthar Bandon's armor with a custom skin that was red and black; it looks amazing in my opinion. Maybe you could do something similar?

Does this mod make the Sith patrol officers inside the academy and in the valley of the Sith Lords into Sith soldiers (in armor)?

I think this mod has some real promise since Shem's mod adds a bunch of stuff and makes a lot of changes to the students that aren't always justified. I think that you should really consider giving Uthar and also Jorak Bandon's armor (like Shem's mod), and also consider changing the Sith officer patrols into Sith soldiers.

I'm thinking about it but I'm not sure if I will.

No, it doesn't, because their VO does not have the Sith trooper filter. Sith Soldier Texture Restoration has an option to do this however, and to apply a filter to their VO.

Not bad idea. And if you manage to add a hood, it will be great. In a hood that's more mysterious.
Or, another idea can give him a black Jedi robe from the Sith Lords.

Yes. I suppose it's not obvious from a non-modder perspective (I've been doing this too long) but they don't affect any of the same files at all. If you install both mods, the Sith on Korriban will wear the cloaked Dark Jedi robes.

I installed both, and the sith on Korriban are wearing the red jedi robes.

I can't imagine why that would be happening with just those two mods. I would guess either something went wrong during installation, or some conflict with another mod. On my test build that has almost no other mods installed, they wear black robes as intended.

Is it me or is there a mistake in Jorak Uln? For some reason I think he wears regular Jedi robes and not the Dark Jedi ones as I've seen in a video.

It's just you. The original Jorak file is equipped with blue robes, but as part of the installation they are replaced with black robes. If you have another mod that affects Jorak, that might be interfering.

Those were added long after I took screenshots for the mod. But Yuthura's option and one of Uthar's are just the Sith uniforms they wear in the original game. Uthar's armor is the silver Sith armor like the governor on Taris wears.

I don't know what you mean by "the other one".

@JCarter426, Excellent!  If you had not done this, I would have done it in my modification, which I would like to eliminate technical and logical problems on Dantooine.  By the way, Yuthura Ban's model looks as if on the dark side of power (pale skin, eyes and other elements), it would be possible not only to add a Jedi robe to her, not dark, of course, but also to change its line (or make it more simple - add a new  line) in appearance.2da and heads.2da files, adding new textures that can be borrowed from @Ferc Kast with his permission.
This will combine with Yuthura's final redemption and return to the bright side.
You can, by the way, make a second alternative, but the usual addition of a dark robe.

I'm planning to make it an optional patch similar to the existing one that lets her retain her Sith uniform, so there should be no compatibility issue if you want to do something similar in another mod.

I'm thinking of having options for her to wear either black or blue robes.

Yes, yes, yes, you are right, a blue robe would be very appropriate here, since in the courtyard of the Jedi Enclave, all Jedi are, if you install a modification (I do not remember, @DarthParametricpointed to it in the comments under some modification, perhaps even yours), which dresses all Jedi in the courtyard in PC-accessible robes. Moreover, they are all brown (brown) in color. Blue will add variety and blend with her textures.
Your update will allow us to revise the order of passage of the planets :) to see Yutura and Kel (I can't remember the last name), which we can return to the light side. It is a pity that Mikel is absent from the enclave, whom we can also save from the crazy former master of the academy.

I believe Shem's mod also made the Exar Kun armor black and silver instead of its default color scheme. Could you do something similar?
