N-DReW's Bug Fix Collection for TSL
A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic 2
Author: N-DReW25
1.4.0 Release Date: 25.11.2024


Installation:
Please install The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod 1.8.6 FIRST, no exceptions.

It is highly advised to install the KOTOR 2 Community Patch before this mod, this is optional.

This mod is divided into two parts, the TSLPatcher component and the Override Component.

To install Override Component features, simply open their folders and copy their mod files to the Kotor 2 Override folder.

To install TSLPatcher Component features, simply click on the HoloPatcher.exe, click install, and sit back and watch the installer do its magic.

WARNING: It is highly recommended that you do not install the game on your system's C drive, especially in Program Files. Windows can have permissions issues when trying to install the mod to a C drive destination. If you are using the Steam version of the game and have installed Steam in its default Program Files location, we advise creating a new Steam Library on a different drive and moving the game there via the game's Properties pop-up in Steam.


Description:
My Bug Fix Collection is another bug fix mod, though unlike most bug fix mods that have been made for the Kotor games this mod is for Kotor 2 in particular. The popular TSLRCM and K2CP mods are two excellent mods that bug fix hundreds of bugs throughout the game... though they haven't fixed all the bugs. Since TSLRCM development is essentially finished and the K2CP dev team are focused on the K1CP mod, I made my own bug fix mods to squash the rest I could.

What's New in Version 1.4   See changelog

Released

* The mod has been split into two sections, the TSLPatcher component and the Override component. Some old features have been moved from the TSLPatcher component to the Override component section and are now installed via drag & drop into the Override.

 

Universal
* Mercenary soundsets have been reworked. Male low-Ranking Mercenaries will use Male Commoner soundsets, male mid-ranking Mercenaries will use Republic Soldier soundsets and male high-ranking Mercenaries shall use Republic Officer soundsets. Female mercenaries shall use Female Commoner soundsets regardless of rank.
* Mercenaries now have consistent armor across the game. Low-Ranking Mercenaries will wear Light Battle Armor, mid-ranking Mercenaries will wear Battle Armor and high-ranking Mercenaries shall wear Heavy Battle Armor. Special Mercenaries like Azkul are unaffected by these changes.
* Restored Darth Bandon's Fiber Armor texture for the Mandalorian Combat Suit.
* Restored the Baragwin Shadow Armor texture for the Echani Shield Suit.
* Blasters now use the same textures as they did in K1.


Telos
* As part of TSLRCM's "Corrun Falt" sidequest, a Czerka Twi'lek speaks whilst a Czerka Commander accompanies him without any dialogue. Now the Czerka Commander speaks whilst the Czerka Twi'lek accompanies him instead.
* If you used Stealth to obtain the Bachani plant without disabling the security system, the Ithorian will comment on it but the dialogue is silent as the Ithorian dialogue was never set. The Ithorian dialogue has now been set and you will now hear the Ithorian speak.
* The TSF Lieutenant involved in Samhan questline used a TSF Soldier's uniform whilst the TSF Bay Control in the Ebon Hawk's Hangar used a TSF Lieutenant's uniform despite not being a Lieutenant. Their appearances have been swapped.
* The TSF Lieutenant involved in Samhan questline was previously unarmed. She has been given a Blaster Pistol.
* The Czerka Mercenaries who attack the Ithorian compound now have the same appearances as the Czerka Mercenaries who attack the Czerka Headquarters.
* The Czerka Mercenaries who attack the Czerka Headquarters now have melee weapons as they do in the Ithorian compound.
* The Mercenary Bodyguard who accompanies the Mercenary Leader says "Sir, we have some visitors" when the player arrives to save Jana Lorso, but this Mercenary is silent during the similar scene with Chodo Habat. The Mercenary Bodyguard will now say the same line when the player arrives to save Chodo Habat.
* The Czerka Mercenaries on Telos' Surface wore mask items such as Breath Masks though you could not see them as these Mercenaries used K1 generic heads. These Mercenaries have been given Player Heads so you can now see their masks in-game.
* The Sentry Droids on Telos' Surface used the same appearance as the unique Sentry Droids in the Underground Military Base. They have been given generic Sentry Droid appearances that were seen in K1.
* The Warbots on Telos' Surface are visually equipped with Repeating Blasters yet shoot Sonic bubbles at you. Their Sonic Rifles have been replaced with Repeating Blasters so that their blaster shots match the weapon they are holding.
* The Militia who fight in the Battle of Telos are called "Koonda Militia". They have been renamed to "Militia" to be consistent with the Militia on Dantooine.

Nar Shaddaa
* The blue Mandalorians in the Apartments have several barking lines but only one could be heard as their dialogue lacked the randomizer conditional. This fix adds the randomizer conditional so you can now hear all three of these barking lines.
* The Zhug Brothers had a graphical error on their hands, this has been fixed.
                                                                                           

Dantooine
* All the Kath Hounds on Dantooine had too much vitality. This has been fixed.
* The Mercenaries accompanying Azkul in Khoonda use player heads, this results in these NPCs showing a Dark Side transition. These NPCs now have generic heads to hide this.

 

Onderon
* During the Onderon Civil War, Dark Side players would meet Vaklu Soldiers in the Merchant Square who are supposed to several barking lines, however, the dialogue lacked the randomizer conditional thus locking the dialogue so that only one line fires. This fix adds the randomizer conditional so you can now hear all three of these barking lines.

Impressive! Is this mod compatible with Fixed Hologram Models and Admiralty Redux?

This is an assumption, but I think if you install Fixed Hologram Models and Admiralty Redux AFTER this mod it "should" work.

 

The most current version of the mod modifies a handful of Hologram appearances.

  Quote

Peragus
* One of Coorta's thugs uses the Peragus Dock Officer's head despite the Thug and the Dock Officer being two different characters.

 

Harbinger
* In the Harbinger holograms, Admiral Cede is wearing a Republic Soldier uniform instead of a Republic Officer uniform. In addition, Admiral Cede was also called "Republic General" instead of "Admiral Cede".
* On the Harbinger bridge, the Medical Officer hologram is depicted as wearing an Officer's uniform whereas in the dormitories she is depicted as wearing a Soldier's uniform
* During Sion's jump out of the Kolto tank scene, the male Republic Soldier was intended to be the female Medical Officer. This can be justified as on the Bridge when you hear the audio of this scene you hear a female scream as the glass breaks.

 

This mod is mainly intended to be used alongside TSLRCM, but since the Hologram mod fixes those bugs (In their own custom content sort of way) it should work fine as long as you install the Hologram mod afterward.

 

My only concern is the last Harbinger bug fix, the one where the male Republic Soldier was changed to the female Medical Officer. That bug fix might not be in the Hologram mod, it definitely won't break your game but if you, or anyone, plays the Bug Fix Collection alongside the Hologram mod and the Hologram mod's Medical Officer doesn't appear in that scene then that might be a future update for the Hologram mod itself.

Good to know! I'll definitely test them. Will this stuff be part of the next K2CP update?

I'm not sure, the whole reason why this mod exists is because the K2CP wasn't being updated and I figured I might as well fix these bugs myself (A K1 bug fix mod doesn't exist because I just report the bugs I find to the K1CP issues GITHub).

 

DarthParametric, one of the main K1/2CP devs, has stated in the past that he dislikes K2 because apparently there are so many bugs which cannot be properly fixed by K2CP (Either it cannot physically be fixed via modding or its something relating to the plot like how the TSLRCM ending still doesn't make too much sense).

It's not that they can't be fixed, it's that I personally can't be assed to fix them because I don't give a toss about TSL (not because of bugs - I just don't like it period). K2CP is @JCarter426's baby, and he was AWOL for the last 12 months or so, hence why it hasn't been updated recently.

Edit: To clarify, TSL is fundamentally broken narratively, and that indeed can never be fixed. TSLRCM scratches around at the edges of it, but you can never make TSL complete solely through mods. But that is not the purpose of K2CP, so it's not particularly pertinent to this discussion.
