Lite Alien 01 Restoration 1.3.0

A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic
Author: N-DReW25
1.0.0 Release Date: 30.09.2021

Installation:
Simply click on the TSLPatcher.exe, select your option, click install and sit back and watch the TSLPatcher do its magic.

The alien is HD by default, the "Different Resolutions" folder contains a backup of the HD texture, a texture which matches the same resolution as every other NPC in the game and a Lite texture which is a low-res texture which matches the other Lite NPCs.

Uninstallation:
Depends on what you've chosen to install.
Copy the files within the generated "backup" folder and place the file inside your modules folder, make sure you overwrite.

Description:
In the game files exists several "Lite" low-poly Alien NPC models, these are the Quarren (N_alien02_low), the Chadra-Fan (N_alien03_low) and the Gran (N_alien05_low).
In the Taris section of the texture files exists a file called "LTS_Crowd01.tga" which most likely contains an early draft of the Duel Arena spectator crowd, on this texture exists two strange aliens, one which looks like a Gand and another which could only be described as a pink punk.

In the model files, I found an unused model called "N_alien01_low" which lacked a texture but looked suspiciously like the pink punk from the crowd texture... this leads me to believe that the pink punk was going to be "N_alien01_low" whereas the Gand would've been "N_alien01_low".

This mod gives "N_alien01_low" a texture and restores the NPC in several places in the game, you can find him on:

* Dantooine as Kni
* Manaan as a Shady Pazaak Dealer
* Tatooine as the guy who gives you the Gizka

I could've added this alien in more places, though I thought seeing the same low-poly Lite NPC over and over again would get old real quick. I might add this guy in more locations based on suggestions and popular demand.

Whilst I am confident no Legends material has named this alien species YET... I have chosen a name for it. it's called a "Pyrath". This name was chosen by me, @N-DReW25, simply because this guy doesn't exist in either Star Wars Legends or Canon and in the words of Effix: it's simply a generic filler alien. I chose the name "Pyrath" as this species would be from the planet "Pyr" which is in same system as Manaan. By choosing this name, there might be a way to create some form of connection between Selkath and the "Pyrath" species.
