Description:

The Kotor III: The Jedi Masters Texture Reinterpretation mod was designed to upscale and/or enhance the many (oh so many) textures seen in the mod.  

For sake of my sanity, I’ll be abbreviating The Jedi Masters to TJM from here on.

It is an extensive mod pack (as might be indicated by the size) but as seen listed below, it is not a complete overhaul. TJM uses textures from both KotOR1 and TSL.  As there are already two fine upscale packages on Deadly Stream – and they both have liberal use policies – I was able to grab a bunch of upscales that already existed after renaming them to the TJM conventions. (See credits section for the other mods that were sourced.)

Some of the TJM textures required new upscales as many of them are simply recolored vanilla textures and I didn’t want to manually recolor all of the original textures. Additionally, some of the textures in TJM are new or sourced from places outside the vanilla game. I’ve adjusted textures to my liking when I thought it would benefit the texture but I’ve mostly attempted to remain faithful to the – shall we say unique? - visual style of this mod.

New upscales were (generally) set to upscale at 4 times the original size. The exceptions to this scaling are textures that would be larger than 2048 x 2048 if upscaled at 4x.

As TJM is extensive and I didn’t have access to a beta team for this, please report any textures that I may missed an alpha layer for.  I have heard rumbling that they are more than a few in the original TJM mod itself that presented issues in one way or another. Feel free to post pictures of areas over in the Release thread.

In addition to the numerous before and pictures provided on this page, here is a little video showing the end results.

What’s not included and why:

I have not upscaled the following categories of textures included with TJM.

Trex’s Custom Skyboxes: Many of these are already near the self-imposed 2048 x 2048 limit. In my humble opinion, they would not benefit from upscaling. I have replaced one of Trex’s skyboxes as seen in the outdoor levels of the planet called Etti with a version that uses my own textures rather than uses Trex’s textures (and it’s twice the size). Additionally, I have replaced one of Trex’s Coruscant skybox with one of my own.

Inventory Items and their icons, including clothing and weapons: These fall outside of the scope of my original plans. Others that concentrate work on these type of mods would a better choice than me for this.

Portraits and Character skins: Like the previous, working on character skins isn’t my forte.

Many of the textures from Quanon were not upscaled (as they are close to my self-imposed size limit as they currently stand). When and where Quanon reused vanilla textures, those have been upscaled.

If you are interested in what this mod doesn’t cover, you can always request other folks to work on it in the Mod Requests section on Deadly Stream. I wish you the best of luck with that.

Installation:

Drop all TGA and TXI files included in this mod into your Override folder.

Credits:

Some ship textures, the Czerka-branded protocol droid texture, and one animated computer panel in this collection were sourced from Dark Hope’s releases. Thanks to DH and her generosity in making permissions open for her mods. See here for a wide selection of their mods.

Many of the TSL textures were sourced from “RESOURCE: Topaz GigaPixel AI Upscales – K2” by Thor110  (https://deadlystream.com/topic/9592-resourcetopaz-gigapixel-ai-upscales-k2/). I give my thanks for this convenient modding resource.

Many of the KOTOR1 textures that TJM uses, I sourced upscales from what was originally called “KOTOR 1 Four Times ver 1.0” on Deadly Stream.  It doesn’t appear to be on Deadly Stream now but I have found a version of that mod. It was uploaded to NexusMods as “KOTOR HD Galaxy Mod” - uploaded by SimplyCool988.  Thanks to whoever the original unnamed author was for their open permissions, as listed in the read-me file.

Thanks to Sithspecter for permission to use portions of his example pictures from his High Quality Blasters mod page. (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/861-high-quality-blasters/)

Thanks to Lewok for beta testing these textures, adjusting some TXIs and an alpha layer of some textures on the D’Arth Syyth flagship, providing valuable input, and helping troubleshoot problematic textures.

Thanks to Fair Strides for texture feedback and moral support.
