Prologue Item Recovery 1.0.0

In KotOR II: TSL, the prologue is a skippable tutorial sequence that involves T3-M4 saving the Ebon Hawk. However, even if you choose to play through the prologue, you do not get to keep the items you have obtained during the prologue.

This mod changes that by spawning a plasteel cylinder that contains the items you can obtain from the prologue, allowing you to get the items back to your inventory, even if you decide to skip the prologue. You can find the plasteel cylinder in the secure cargo hold at the Peragus hangar bay. The location is chosen because it is where the Peragus mining facility staff store the cargos they searched from the Ebon Hawk, including the damaged 3C-FD.

This mod will take effect as long as you have a save file at Peragus, including at the Peragus hangar bay, even if you have played past the section where you take control of T3-M4.

 

2. INSTALLATION:

Extract the Prologue Item Recovery.7z you downloaded to anywhere you like, as long as it is not within the KotOR 2 directory.

There are two methods to install this mod:

• Module Installation: Injects the mod's files into a MOD file from the game's Module folder. This method is recommended for players who have installed The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM).
• Override Installation: Involves the mod user putting the mod's files into the game's Override folder.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODULE INSTALLATION:
Run Install.exe, point the installer to your KotOR directory, where swkotor2.exe is located, and let the installer do its job. When you install this mod, a new folder named "backup" will 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 plan to uninstall this mod.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OVERRIDE INSTALLATION:
Go to the "Override Installation" folder, copy and paste a_transformt3m4.ncs and llk_proitems.utp into the Override folder of your KotOR 2 directory.

***IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STEAM WORKSHOP USERS:***
If you have subscribed to the Steam Workshop version of TSLRCM, you must install this mod to TSLRCM's Steam Workshop folder instead of the main KOTOR 2 directory. The directory of the Steam Workshop version of TSLRCM  is \Steam\SteamApps\Workshop\content\208580\485537937.

The "Source" folder includes the source of the script used by this mod for modders' reference. Ignore the "Source" folder if you only want to install and play this mod.

 

3. UNINSTALLATION:

If you used the Override Installation method, simply go to the Override folder in your KotOR 2 directory, and delete a_transformt3m4.ncs and llk_proitems.utp.

If you used the Module Installation method, go to the backup folder, cut and paste 106PER.mod into the Modules folder in your KotOR 2 directory.

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 mod that modifies the a_transformt3m4.ncs script, which is used for entering the Peragus Hangar Bay module (106PER).

This mod is compatible with The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM). Make sure you install this mod after TSLRCM. I recommend using the Module Installation method to install this mod if you use TSLRCM.

 

6. PERMISSION:

You may modify this mod for personal use or show this mod in screenshots.

You may use the modified a_transformt3m4 script from this mod to make a compatibility patch with your mod, but do not claim the modification as your own.
