About This File
Main idea
Has the time it takes to get from one end of Ahto City to the other ever seemed too long ? Has it ever annoyed you ? If so, this mod is exactly what you need. It adds a custom speeder, using LoneWanderer’s modder resource, to every part of the city, allowing you to traverse it in seconds.
This mod is more an add-on to Capitaine Spoque’s Taris Rapid Transit System than a standalone one. Thus, to get the best game experience and as I used some of his sound files, you will first have to download his mod. You can find it here : https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/1666
However, if for some reason you don’t want it, you have 2 options :
1) You won’t have power on and off sounds for the speeder, even though it will still be enjoyable, don’t worry.
2) You download Capitaine Spoque’s mod but you do not install it on your game installation. You will instead go to his tslpatchdata folder, take the In.wav and out.wav files and put them in your streamwaves folder. Then you will have the power on and off sounds. I recommend copying these 2 files somewhere near my mod's location in case you need to reinstall it. After having done that, you can delete the rest of his mod from your computer.
To give more realism to my mod, and in order to having a better insertion into the game, I added a new line to the security selkath who opens you the door to the city, as well as some directly on the speeders. You will have to load a save before entering Ahto City. Starting a game where you are in the docking bay module (and in which you’ve never been further into the city) should be good.
Installation
1) Make sure you have Capitaine Spoque's mod installed, unless you don't want to use it
2) Download mine and unzip it (small tip if you’re struggling : use 7-Zip)
3) Run the installer and follow the instructions given by it
4) This is where you will do the option 2 steps given in the Main section if you really don’t want to use Capitaine Spoque’s mod.
5) You’re good to go. If you enjoy the mod (or even if you didn't, as long as it's constructive), feel free to leave a review. Doesn’t cost much and is really appreciated.
To uninstall this mod, you will have to do what HoloPatcher put in the "backup" folder when you downloaded the mod (taking MOD and 2DA backup files, putting them back in your game installation, and removing my mod's files from Override and streamwaves). You can also delete the In and out .wav files from streamwaves if you didn't use Capitaine Spoque's mod.
Compatibility
My mod is fully compatible with K1CP, as it is now (in 2025) the main reference for modders. It should also be compatible with K1R but I haven’t tried.
It will basically be compatible with everything, as I used HoloPatcher to modify the .2da and .mod files directly in your game installation. I also named my files with the most customized names I could, so you shouldn’t have any conflict with mods you already have installed.
However, if for some reason you encounter any issue, feel free to report to me.
Thanks
1) SAO, who generously gave me a base for the mod, that I just had to improve and make compatible with HoloPatcher.
2) Capitaine Spoque for his brilliant Taris Rapid Transit System, as well as the help he brought. Thanks for teaching me how to modify MOD and GIT files, and how to set up the Patcher properly.
3) LoneWanderer for his awesome speeder port from SWTOR
4) All the amazing people who made the awesome tools I used for this mod : Holocron Toolset, Kotor Scripting Tool, ChangeEdit and HoloPatcher.
5) The KOTOR and, more precisely, DeadlyStream community (even more precisely, those who download the mod 😁), as the game is still alive thanks to all of you.
Permissions
1) Given to me :
- Modders’ resource by LoneWanderer, no need to explain.
- Capitaine Spoque, to use some of his mod's assets.
2) Given by me :
- You cannot upload my mod anywhere, especially on Steam Workshop.
- However, with permission (that I will probably give, just ask and we can see), you could use some of my mod’s assets for your own mod.
- If you want to make your mod compatible with mine (without needing to upload my files yourself), just give credit where it is due and that will be fine.
For these 2 last situations, if you need them, I’ve integrated most of the source scripts.
