About This File

This mod edits the various landing pad areas so that you can see through the Ebon Hawk's cockpit windows to the interior, which should be a bit more interesting than the blacked-out windows from the vanilla game.

This mod incorporates model fixes to the Dantooine landing pad and Leviathan hangar developed by the KOTOR 1 Community Patch (K1CP) team, which are included here with permission.  I have also made the following minor area model improvements:
- Adjusted the Manaan hangar's ceiling layout to hide a rogue seamblocker mesh.
- Edited the Korriban landing bay's lightmapping to add some bounce lighting around the floor lights.
- Created new environment map reflections for the Ebon Hawk in Davik's hangar and the Leviathan's hangar to better match the hangar space.

Because mods that edit the same area models are incompatible by nature, I have provided optional compatibility patches for use with other notable mods.  Please see the "Compatibility" section below for further information.

Thank you for downloading, and I hope you enjoy this mod!

-------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION

If you are using one or more of the mods listed in the "Compatibility" section below, install them first.  Copy all files from "Main Installation" to your game's Override folder.  Then, copy files from any required compatibility patches into Override as well, overwriting when asked.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY
Except as noted below, this mod is incompatible with any other mods that edit the same files.  The standard installation is compatible with the KOTOR 1 Community Patch (K1CP) and includes most of its edits to the Leviathan hangar except for the added forcefield, which can be added with the separate compatibility patch below.

I have included additional compatibility patches for the following mods:

- K1CP (Added Leviathan Forcefield) (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1258-kotor-1-community-patch/)
- High Quality Skyboxes II for K1 by Kexikus (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/723-high-quality-skyboxes-ii/)
- Yavin Station Hangar by me (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2068-yavin-station-hangar/)

As noted above, the K1CP compatibility patch is only required for the added forcefield over the hangar opening and is entirely optional if you prefer the vanilla-style invisible forcefield.

This mod is compatible with most reskins and texture mods.  If you are using a mod that reskins the exterior of the Ebon Hawk, delete this mod's version of LSI_EHawk01.tpc from Override.  If the reskin includes "LSI_EHawk01.txi", open it and change the entry after "envmaptexture" to "WK_CM_LevHang".

Fancy. One day I plan to rebake the lightmaps for some of those modules that will necessitate overwriting the same room models (all new LM UVs). We'll have to do a merge patch collaboration if I ever manage to release something.

On that Manaan hangar edit, did K1CP not edit/replace that lightblocker mesh? I know I fiddled with it at some point, but that might have only been for my take-off/landing video experiments.

Looking forward to that when you release it.  Yes, we’ll definitely have to coordinate on a patch when that happens.

I don’t think so, it doesn’t look like the Github version of K1CP currently touches m26ad_01a.mdl/mdx.  If you don’t already have a fix for that in progress, you are welcome to borrow the geometry from my version if you want.
