NPC Diversity Pack [Beta/K1] 0.11.0

NPC Diversity Pack [K1]
A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic
Author: N-DReW25
0.10.0 Beta Release Date: 02.01.2025

Installation:
Please install the K1 Community Patch FIRST before this mod!

If you plan on using it, install the Unofficial K1CP Tweak Pack mod SECOND (This mod is optional and is NOT required for this mod to work)!

Once you click on the HoloPatcher.exe, you'll be given a few install options.

1) Main mod: Installs the main component of the mod, it edits over 600 NPCs with changes to their appearances, weapons, soundsets, and more!

2) Player Head Commoners: This install will add new commoner NPC variants who use the player heads. This option will greatly diversify the Kotor galaxy as it'll greatly reduce the generic commoner head count and with so many new player head commoners it's unlikely you'd see two of the same NPC variant in the same playthrough. If a player head commoner uses the player's head, it will be swapped for another head (So if you're playing Mullet Man then the Mullet Man commoner who appears in-game will use a different head). You WILL have to install this option AFTER the main mod.

IT IS ADVISED THAT YOU INSTALL PLAYER HEAD COMMONERS SECOND (AFTER THE MAIN MOD BUT BEFORE THE OTHER OPTIONS)

3) Fat Commoners: This install will add generic commoner NPCs who use the fat commoner body model. In vanilla, only two fat commoner variants exist and they both use player heads, the female variant is cut whilst the male variant is only used once or twice. This install adds fat commoner variants which all use the generic NPC heads and places them randomly throughout the game ensuring that fat NPCs will be found in normal gameplay. This install uses DarthParametric's Fat Commoner Body Models Modder's Resource to improve the UVs of the models, allowing for compatibility with clothing variant textures and modded clothing variant textures like Dark Hope's NPC Clothing mods and my K1 Clothing Pack mod.

4) Onderon Commoners: This install will add generic commoner NPCs who use the Onderon commoner body model. In K2, Onderonian commoner NPCs wear unique robe-like clothing which differentiates them from the default commoner NPCs. This install adds Onderonian commoner variants which all use the generic NPC heads and places them randomly throughout the game ensuring that Onderonian commoner NPCs will be found in normal gameplay. Though just because this install is called "Onderonian Commoner" it doesn't mean these NPCs are Onderonian, depending on the texture these new Onderonian commoner variants will replace rich noble and poor downtrodden NPCs alike. The Onderonian commoner textures used in this install come from Effixian's Zeison Sha/Jal Shey to Onderon Clothing mod.

Description:
As with many modders, I have a vision for a comprehensive NPC Overhaul. This mod is currently in a BETA stage, whilst I don't expect bugs, I do expect player criticism/feedback alongside reports of possible mod conflicts with certain mods... updates will be released to fix any possible bugs, add popular player suggestions, possible hotfixes for incompatible mods and new content as they become possible.

What does this mod do?

This mod is comprised of several smaller mods that have been merged into one big mod, resulting in an immersive NPC Overhaul which is compatible with the K1 Community Patch.

This mod swaps the heads of hundreds of NPCs to prevent the 'clone' effect, it replaces the low poly Lite NPCs with actual NPC appearances, it diversifies the clothing, armor and weapons worn by NPCs without touching any of the NPC Loot drops, it modifies the .GIT files in some areas to remove duplicated NPCs, it swaps the soundsets of over 200 NPCs so that the enemies you fight have a truly random "death grunt" sound as they die and MORE! With this mod, over 600 NPCs will be affected (including NPCs which are commonly affected by other mods). 

It is HIGHLY advised to install this mod (AFTER the K1CP mod) BEFORE you install any new appearance mods. For example, Galaxy of Faces is a mod which adds new appearances. Installing the NPC-DP BEFORE that mod will allow you to have GoF appearances alongside the NPC-DP's NPC Overhaul as intended.

Known Bugs:
This mod shouldn't have bugs, but if there are feel free to report it to me on Deadlystream.

Incompatibilities:
Please report any incompatibilities!

Player head commoners are affected by player head reskins, if you install weird player head reskins (The Mullet Man to DC Universe Joker for example) then the player head commoner with Mullet Man's head will use that skin.

Permissions:
Do NOT claim credit for this mod and do not use assets from this mod without my permission.

Any assets that I've used that are not mine that come from mods like Modder's Resources and mods where the author has declared free use in their readmes can be used in your own mod.
