MOD AUTHOR: Sith Holocron
ORIGINAL RELEASE: 22 MAR 2023
GAME: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords
Description:
This mod replaces the LEH_scre01 textures found around the Ebon Hawk include much of the Ebon Hawk but as best remembered being seen around the Galaxy Map. The previous version will still be available for completists but I consider this version to be the definitive version. This is the “Less Subtle” version. (The “More Subtle” version is available here.)
As before, the Galaxy Map texture is not included in this mod.
Previously on Battlestar Galactica in the description: When Xarwarz was working on a sample of a monitor texture for the Ebon Hawk back in 2016, I had suggested to him that it could use a bit of animation to liven it up. Towards that end, I asked Quanon if he could render out a frame frames of a wire-frame model of the Ebon Hawk. I added in some sine wave activity and threw in some Aurebesh for good measure. One of the monitors was now animated. (and so on . . . )
Now: The texture has doubled in size allowing more detail. Only two of Xarwarz’s frames remain from the original texture. Both of those have been AI upscaled, had fresh text placed on them, and have had some extra animation added to them. The animation on these two frames as in the original – is subtle. (Well, subtle for me anyway.)
The other two frames have been remade. One still uses Quanon’s wireframes but since the texture is now larger, I didn’t have to resize his captures nearly as much. New text was added here as well. And the other frame is a brand new animation made from scratch.
The texture uses the same background surrounding the monitors as my More Subtle LEH_Scre01. So, if you switch between them, it won’t be a total change up.
Installation:
For either game – If already present in your Override folder, delete LEH_scre01.tpc, LEH_scre01.tga and LEH_scre01.txi (or move them to your Desktop)
