1. DESCRIPTION:
In vanilla KotOR 1, Twi'lek NPCs have very limited variety of designs. This mod aim to diversify the appearances of Twi'lek female NPCs, by giving the named Twi'lek female NPCs different looks instead of the generic NPC looks to set them apart.
The Twi'lek female NPCs affected by this mod include:
- Lena, messager of Mission's personal quest
- Malare, messager of Bastila's personal quest
- Zoriis Bafka, swoop racer on Tatooine
- Casandra Mateil, swoop racer on Manaan
- Zeena on Manaan
The unique appearances of these NPCs are created by utilizing the Twi'lek textures from K1 Enhancement Pack, which has been released as a modder's resource.
In order for this mod to take effect, you must load a save before meeting Lena and Malare, and before visiting the Tatooine Swoop Registration and Manaan Ahto East for the first time.
I do not change the appearances of Lyn Sekla and Janice Nall from Taris, because ebmar has created amazing mods that overhaul their appearances, which I recommend:
2. INSTALLATION:
Extract the K1 Twi'lek Female NPC Diversity.zip archive you downloaded to anywhere you like, as long as it is not within the KotOR directory. Run Install.exe, point the installer to your KotOR directory, where swkotor.exe is located, and let the installer do its job.
I also provide upscaled versions of the Twi'lek textures as an optional installation. After installing the main part of this mod, go to the "Optional - Upscaled Textures" folder, drop the files into the Override folder in your directory and overwrite files when prompted.
If you use the NPC Replacement component of DarthParametric's K1 Thigh-High Boots For Female Twi'lek Body, I have also provided an optional installation to make Lena and Malare's boots match the other female Twi'lek boot models edited by DP for visual consistency. After installing the main part of my mod, go to the "Optional - DP's Twilek Thigh-High Boots" folder, drop the files into the Override folder in your directory and overwrite files when prompted.
NOTE: When you install this mod, a new folder named "backup" may be created by the installer in the same folder as the installer. Do not delete the folder or the file within the folder if you are planning on uninstalling this mod.
3. UNINSTALLATION:
If no backup folder was created when you installed this mod, go to the Override folder in your KotOR directory, and delete the following files:
- appearance.2da
- heads.2da
- g_lena.utc
- g_malare.utc
- man26_casandra.utc
- man27_zeena.utc
- tat17_04zorii_01.utc
If a backup folder was created when you installed this mod, go to the backup folder, cut and paste any files from the folder and paste the file in the Override folder in your KotOR directory, then delete the rest of the files listed above that did not have a backup copy.
Regardless if a backup folder was created when you installed this mod, if you want to uninstall this mod completely, delete the files with the "llk" prefix that are used by this mod from the Override folder in your KotOR directory. See READ ME.txt for the list of these files to be deleted.
4. KNOWN ISSUES:
None currently known. If you find any bugs or problems, please let me know.
5. MOD COMPATIBILITY:
This mod is not compatible with any other mods that modify or change the heads of Lena, Malare, Zoriis Bafka, Casandra Mateil, or Zeena.
This mod does not replace any vanilla Twi'lek textures and models, so this mod is compatible with mods that retexture or remodel vanilla Twi'leks.
This mod is compatible with KotOR 1 Community Patch (K1CP).
This mod is compatible with KotOR 1 Restoration (K1R).
6. PERMISSION:
You may use assets from this mod as part of your mod, however, both SpaceAlex and I should be credited accordingly, with SpaceAlex being credited as the original creator of the textures as part of the K1 Enhancement Pack modder's resource.
