K1 Loot Overhaul 0.2.0 Beta

 • Error: Unable to locate archive "E:\KOTOR\modules\tar_m09ab.mod" to modify or insert file "footlker001.utp" into, skipping...

I got these errors when I installed the mod. Is that what you meant by "Fixed a possible TSLPatcher Glitch?"

I think I might know the cause of this problem, but I need you to answer this question first... did you install the K1 Community Patch before this mod?

No, that glitch was involved with the merchants.

Yes, I installed the K1 Community Patch first. Always.

Alright, it looks like tar_m09ab must not be included with the K1CP then. I'll get an update out soon!

It is not. We don't make any changes to the Sith Governor's quarters.

I'm going to use this along with Effixian's Taris Arena Changes. Both mods alter the "keblastore.utm" file. Are they compatible?

I think it depends on what Effix's mod does to keblastore.utm. If it makes changes to the file with tslpatcher, then I doubt they'd be compatible. If the tslpatcher replaces the keblastore.utm in the game files with a different version, then they are compatible. The only thing that comes with that compatibility is Effix's mod removes the changes made by N-drew's mod.

Think installing N-drew's mod second will work? Both use Tslpatcher.

I made an oopsie for how Effix's mod works with keblastore.utm. It seems Effix's mod just does a hard override. Compatibility may work if you install Effix's mod second after N-Drew's. I mistook what used the tslpatcher in Effix's mod, it should be good if you install Effix's mod after N-Drew's, unless if N-Drew's mod puts keblastore.utm somewhere else. I recommend just looking in your Kotor 1 override folder for keblastore.utm before installing Effix's mod, and if it's in the override folder, you should be good to install Effix's mod.

I kind of want the inventory that N-Drew's mod gives Kebla's store rather than Effix's.

Just don't copy "keblastore.utm" to the Override, you'll have the Armors worn by the Duelist but it won't spawn in Kebla's inventory.

My setup might not be the most ideal, but my installer checks to see if keblastore.utm is present in the Override. If it isn't, it spawns a vanilla/unmodded keblastore.utm in the Override before patching my changes on top of that new utm file.

If keblastore.utm IS already present, it will skip the copying process and will instead patch the utm already found in the Override (this generates a warning error, but this error is simply to tell you it skipped copying the utm and isn't anything to worry about).

Thank you!

Do Dark Side restricted items get a much needed boost from this? Just compare Tulak Hord's mask with the circlet of Saresh, absolutely brutal. Light Side players also benefit from Qel Droma's robes whereas Dark Side users get nothing until the very end of the game... etc.

This mod doesn't add literal new items or change existing item stats, it merely reshuffles the vanilla loot of the game so you're more likely to try out existing gear you'd previously haven't used in a balanced matter.

I noticed that the loot in the Sith Governor's room on Taris is unchanged. Is this intentional? Also, I was still able to find the Republic Mod armor on Taris in the Lower City Apartments. Is that intentional? I thought you moved it. Also, while Brejik drops the Mandalorian Blaster(strangely, he dropped 2), he doesn't drop his gloves.

This has been a pattern with you when reporting bugs, so please, stop finding bugs and asking "is this intentional?". No, I would not introduce a broken feature intentionally. Those are bugs and they're to be fixed. But thank you for reporting them!

So the Sith Governor's room and the Mod Armor box were unchanged, but the other loot was changed and working as intended?

I know there was an old bug with Heart of Beskar which replaced his Gloves with the Mandalorian Blaster. Assuming Brejik is working in the K1 Loot Overhaul, this might be a case of the old mod causing problem.

I'll investigate all 3 reports and see what's going on, if there are problems I'll release an update

Good point. And Kebla Yurt's store is also unchanged. I didn't insert the file from Effix's Taris Arena Changes mod, so there should be no conflict.

I was able to recreate the Footlocker bugs on my own end, but Kebla worked fine.

Just have the UTM file that was generated on my end, make sure you're using a save from before you exit the apartment or else her old loot will remain.

keblastore.utm

You'll know it worked when you scroll down and see Heavy Battle Armor (amongst other good things)!

Thank you for the quick bug fix and this file. 

Found something interesting. When I installed KSR 2022, Brejik's loot went back to default other than changing Bastila's lightsaber. And when I went into KOTOR Tool to give Brejik the Mandalorian Blaster, I noticed that in-game, he initially attacks you unarmed and then pulls out a vibroblade once Bastila attacks him. If you run from Brejik, then he'll get his Mandalorian Blaster out. This might be an issue with K1CP or RC-K1CP as one of those mods causes Brejik to get into a fighting stance when he says, "Vulkars, to me! Kill this woman! Kill the swoop rider! Kill them all!" He's supposed to pull a blaster on you during this dialogue but instead he gets into an unarmed stance.

This bug is confirmed to have been caused by the K1 Loot Overhaul, I will investigate why this is happening.
