TSL Animated Galaxy Map 1.4

It had to be updated eventually . . .

 

Here's my first very small mod. Updated. Yet again.

 

AUTHOR: Sith Holocron
ORIGINAL RELEASE: 13 SEP 2012
UPDATED RELEASE: 24 DEC 2012
CATHALAN RELEASE: 28 MAR 2016
COMBINED RELEASE: 08 APR 2016

 

GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords

 

Description:
============

 

The Galaxy Map texture of the Ebon Hawk was originally sized at 128x128. The texture is now sized to 512x512. In addition to the resolution bump, the actual texture is now animated. As the texture file is named the same in both KotOR games, the mod should be usable in both games.

 

However: I don't suggest using this with Knights of the Old Republic 1, if seeing planets only seen in Knights of the Old Republic 2 causes any measure of distress. (Use the KOTOR version instead found here. (http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/724-kotor1-animated-galaxy-map/)

 

There are now FOUR different versions that you can use!

 

Version 1: The original planets as laid out in the original un-modded game but animated and at higher resolution.

 

Version 2: In addition to the original planets, I've added Coruscant and M4-78 to the map.

 

Version 3: Mostly like Version 2 but with Cathalan added to the planet roster.

 

Version 4: This is the "April Fool's Version" of the Galaxy Map as described in this post. (http://deadlystream.com/forum/topic/4304-april-fools-an-exciting-mod-to-appear-on-deadly-stream-soon/?do=findComment&comment=44585)

 

Condensed Description for Version 4 as follows:
===============================================

 

April Fools!

 

I still think the orange people in the Cathalan mod are ridiculous. My mockery for the Cathalan mod is on full display in this Galaxy Map. (See the News announcement for April 1st, 2016 for screenshots.)

 

Though [Version 4] is meant for Knights of the Old Republic 2 - as Cathalan was an awful mod made for K2 - this mod can and will work in KotOR1 if the installation instructions below are followed.

 

Installation:
=============

 

First, choose which of the four versions you want to use.

 

For Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 - Extract the "LEH_scre03.tga" and the "LEH_scre03.txi" files into the SWKotOR2/Override folder.

 

For Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 - Extract the "LEH_scre03.tga" and the "LEH_scre03.txi" files into the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic/Override folder.

 

Uninstallation:
