NPC Diversity Pack [Beta/K1] 0.9.0

Can you send me a screenshot?

 

The NPC Diversity Pack alone shouldn't touch textures or models so it might be an incompatibility of some kind.

Of course. I've installed K1 Clothing Pack, Onderon Fashion, Smuggler Deluxe, and RC-K1CP.

Send me the file "danm14aa.mod" from your Modules folder and check if "N_CommF20", "N_CommFA20", "N_CommFB20", or "N_CommFC20" are in the Override. And if they are in the Override, please tell me whether they are a TPC or a TGA.

I'm thinking this issue might be with the K1 Clothing Pack and/or the RC-K1CP and not the NPC Overhaul itself.

The problem is RC-K1CP, a fix that was intended for the Czerka Protocol Officer was applied to the Tatooine White Commoner by mistake & as you can see in-game that fix is broken anyway.

Hope to have a fix for that out soon!

Off-topic, for the NPC Diversity Pack I am planning on merging some, or all, of the side installations of the mod into the main NPC Overhaul component. That means you'll get diversified NPCs, diversified soundsets, diversified weapons & GIT Tweak all at once.

Now, is there anyone opposed to this change before I start the merge?

I'm not. Go ahead.

Ever thought of using the Echani heads from redrob41's Playable Echani x6 mod? While I've heard it's difficult to get in contact with redrob41, he did allow SpaceAlex to use his assets in his own unfinished K1 Enhancement mod. It's under "NPC Modification Pack -> Bonus Content -> Echani(by redrob41). If he gave SpaceAlex permission to use his work, then he'd likely allow you to do the same as long as you give credit. That or SpaceAlex used those assets without permission. In that case, probably not a good idea to use them. 
 

Also, another thing I liked about SpaceAlex's mod is that the Black Vulkars and Hidden Beks have their own color schemes. Would you consider making that a future mod? It's supported by a line from Kandon Ark, "I see you're not wearing the Hidden Bek colors." This implies they wear different colors. 

Furthermore, I noticed that redrob41's "Specialized Combat Suits Modder's Resource," includes Black Vulkar and Davik Kang-themed combat suits. You could make Davik's guards Duros again and have them wear the purple Combat Suits. Human and Twi'lek NPCs could wear them as well. And the Republic Combat Suit could be used to reskin/remodel the "Republic Mod Armor."

The Echani aren't going to be added here, the goal of this mod is to simply use vanilla assets via the K1CP's .MOD files.

However, I do have plans for the Echani in particular and I can assure you that a reuse of RedRob's/SpaceAlex's work will be unnecessary for what I have planned. 😉

The Vulkar/Bek armors and color schemes will come in their own mod at some point.

The recent K1 Loot Overhaul was released so I may use it as a "base" for future weapons & armor mods. You don't HAVE to use the K1 Loot Overhaul, but any future use of the Combat Suit modder's resource will be based upon the loot drops of the K1 Loot Overhaul. This is to ensure that the Combat Suits are added in a balanced way in-game, the K1 Loot Overhaul didn't remove the Echani Fiber Armor on Taris so a Vulkar Combat Suit can replace it and make the player OP for no reason.

Fair enough. Oh and would Redrob's/SpaceAlex's Echani Mod be compatible with the NPC Diversity Pack?

RedRob's Echani Head mod, yes

Anything from SpaceAlex's K1 Enhancement Pack, unlikely

Thank you! Oh and are you planning on making an NPC Diversity Pack for TSL?

At some point... perhaps, though a TSL NPC Diversity Pack will require a lot of effort to make. The GIT Tweak feature in the K1 version only touches 5 modules or less for a few NPCs, a TSL version will need GIT Tweak for most of the modules with a major population of NPCs I'm afraid.

Is that why all your NPC diversity-type mods have been for K1 instead of K2? K1 does need it more, though. 

Oh and I'm planning on using Kainzorus Prime's NPC Overhaul with my playthrough of K2. I'm also planning to use TSLRCM and your Genoharadan Restoration. Are those compatible? 

Is this mod compatible with your NPC Diversity Pack and RC-K1CP mods? https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1426-k1-ported-alien-vo-replacements/?tab=comments

Found a strange bug. One of the Black Vulkars that's meeting with Davik's Agent in the Lower City of Taris now appears as a human wearing a combat suit. He also has the same face as Davik's Agent. 

Here's a screenshot:

Now I appreciate you reporting the bug, but come on...

That's the screenshot you've attached above, why on earth did you use a far away shot of the bug when you could've triggered the cutscene and actually shown me a closeup of the problem.

I didn't think I'd be able to time it right. Do you want me to trigger the cutscene and take a screenshot of that?

No point, you've already shown me this.

What version of Kotor are you using? Are you using Steam?

What version of Kotor are you using? Are you using Steam?

Star Wars: The Best of PC version. It's a single disc that comes with Empire at War, too. 

About to undertake my latest playthrough, N-DReW.  Seventh? Since 2013, I know, rookie numbers!

Is it necessary to install your female republic soldier restoration after, when this seems to add them in on the Spire at least?

Going to go: NPC-DP, Loot Overhaul, Clothing Pack, Ladies of the Sith Army and Hidden Bek Control Room Restoration. 

Pretty sure the K1CP has your great Zhar, Vrook and Queedle fixes.

I take it you're using Kotor's in-built screenshot system? You should really find a better method of screenshotting.

On the Steam version you can press F12 and it'll take a screenshot instantly, there is no need to time it. Surely there is a 3rd party software you can use to make screenshotting easier for you.

Female Republic Soldier Restoration has 2 install options.

A vanilla install that adds default Female Republic Soldiers and Soldiers with new VO and an NPC Diversity Pack install which only adds the new Soldiers with the VO.

If you don't install FRSR, the Diversity Pack will add Female Republic Soldiers but they won't speak, they'll only exist in the background. Installing the FRSR's Diversity Pack install will add additional Diversified Female Republic Soldiers who'll speak with AI VO.

Hidden Bek Control Room Restoration. 

If I'm remembering correctly, this is also part of the K1CP.

Yes, I am using KOTOR's screenshot system. Oh and I installed two new mods that could be causing the Human Black Vulkar bug I screenshotted. NPC Alignment Fix and K1 Ported Alien VO Replacement. I doubt these mods would cause the issue since neither affect NPC appearances. Also, I did use Holopatcher instead of the included TSL Patcher for NPC Diversity Pack.

Gonna go full hog now and enjoy the game with most of your overhauls, skip KSR 2022 and rely on JC's and VP's gentler lightsaber edits. So after CP install order should go...

1.) NPC Diversity Pack

2.) Female Republic Soldier Restoration

3.) Ladies of The Sith Army

4.) Clothing Pack

5.) Unique Sith Governor

6.) Duros Armed And Ready

7.) Heart of Beskar

8.) Loot Overhaul (last?)

9.) Then I'll round out with Leilukin's Twi'lek Male NPC Diversity and JC's Czerka Business Attire

That looks like a workable build to me, though maybe install Loot Overhaul before Heart of Beskar. There shouldn't be any problems between the two but if you install Loot Overhaul before then there won't be any chance of Loot Overhaul overwriting any of HOB's loot (very very unlikely, but it's a precaution I would take).
