Upscaled (TSL Specific) Protocol Droids 1.1.0

Upscaled (TSL Specific) Protocol Droids

A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic 2

Authors: @Dark Hope, @ScrierOne, and Sith Holocron

Release Date: 27 MAR 2022

Background:

Let’s make my description short for once. 

Dark Hope made a mod with hi-res textures for KotOR1 droids.  ScrierOne noticed that Dark Hope didn’t do a droid texture for TSL (probably because she mainly does work for KotOR1) so he did one of those AI upscales for the Czerka droid texture.  Meanwhile, I was working from Dark Hope’s textures to upscale a texture that apparently was in M4-78 EP that I didn’t recall. Seeing a theme, I decided to combine Dark Hope and ScrierOne’s work into one texture. 

I made versions using Dark Hope’s take on eyes and my own version.  See screenshots above to determine your taste.

This mod package doesn’t include Dark Hope’s original takes on Protocol Droids which would also work in TSL.  It is highly recommended that you grab those too.

Installation:

First, extract 7z file to your desktop.  Do not extract it to your Override folder. (That way lies madness.)

Now with choice comes responsibility. You must choose which version of the textures you wish to use - either the "Original DH Eyes" version or the "Obsidian Version".  (You can always delete the files mentioned and check out the other version.)

Copy and Paste the files from the respective folder to the Override dfolder. You MUST overwrite the files already inside the override folder.

If you don’t have M4-78 EP, I would suggest skipping using the C_prot_781.tga and C_prot_781.txi files. You won’t need them.

Uninstallation:

Remove or Delete the files from your Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic 2 override folder. Copy the contents of the Backup folder into your override folder (The Backup folder contains the M4-78EP skybox)

Known Bugs:

None.

Incompatibilities:

Incompatible with anything that edits the texture for the Czerka Droid.  And there aren’t any textures that reskin that M4-78 EP droid as far as I know.
