Darth Sapiens’ T3-M4 HD 2k [Ported to Kotor 1] 1.0.0

A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic
Authors: N-DReW25
1.0.0 Release Date: 11.05.2022 

 

Description: 

On the 21st of February 2015, Darth Sapiens released his T3-M4 HD 2k reskin mod to Deadlystream.com (http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/514-darth-sapiens-presents-t3m4-hd-2k/). In the years following his release, Sith Holocron recolored Sapiens’ texture for the other astromech droids in the game /( https://deadlystream.com/files/file/971-refurbished-astromech-droids/)

 

What we didn’t know is that Sith Holocron recolored the T3-M4 texture for his own personal uses as he was attempting to get closer to the coloring seen in the original “vanilla” T3-M4 texture. Sapiens’ original mod can only work in K1 if the player renames the original texture (and the associated TXI file) to the K1 name structure.

 

To quote from Darth Sapiens’ original mod page: "this is a t3m4 skin I have had in the works for a little while now, my usual rules apply, use this however you'd like but give me credit and a PM, all the disclaimers and stuff apply. thanks obsidian and bioware, NO thanks Disney."

 

With this is mind, I have decided to publish Sith Holocron’s modified version of the T3-M4 HD 2k mod for Kotor 1 in particular. All the credit goes to Darth Sapiens for making the original mod. (Please see Credit section for additional credits.)

 

Installation: 

For Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic - Extract all files into the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic/Override folder. 

 

Uninstallation:

Take it out again.

 

Known Bugs: 

None known at this time.

 

Credits:

This mod would not have been possible with Darth_Sapiens' mod so primary credit belongs to him. 

 

Oh . . . and credit to Sith Holocron for the recoloring and responding quickly to my questions about this mod. And the screenshots!

 

Additional Mod Suggestions: 

If you like the look of Sapiens’ mod, may I recommended to you also download and install Sith Holocron’s Refurbished Astromech Droids mod? (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/971-refurbished-astromech-droids/)

Unlike this mod, no renaming was required for that mod. You’ll have the added benefit of Darth Sapiens’ design being standard through the game.  This of course is optional.

 

Of course, you may prefer Sapiens’ coloring of T3-M4, especially as some of you have been using that texture in TSL for years. That seems fair to me!

 

In that case, I recommend you download Sapiens’ mod (linked above) to your desktop and do the following:

-    First uninstall this mod

-    Rename P_t3m4_01.DDS to P_t3m3_01.DDS

-    Rename P_t3m4_01.txi to P_t3m3_01.txi

-    Rename PO_PT3m4.tga to P_pt3m3_01.tga

-    Rename PO_PT3m4.txi to P_pt3m3_01.txi

-    Move the renamed files and the remaining unnamed files in that folder to your Override folder.
