Version 1.1
-----------------------------
1. Description:
The Expanded Atton Romance Mod is a fully-voiced story supplement to TSL, using less common/cut lines from the original game and splicing them together to build a full romance arc for Atton and the Exile in the style of the KOTOR 1 romances.
Depending on character choices, up to twelve new conversations/interactions run from your arrival on Telos through to a final scene just before heading to the Ravager, with new conversations unlocking after each Jedi Master. Four are repeatable [flirt] options (one with reactions from all other companions if they are in your party) so you always have options to interact. Fade-to-blacks are used for kiss scenes to match K1.
For full details see 5 – Gameplay Guide.
2. Installation:
This mod requires TSLRCM to function properly. Make sure TSLRCM is already installed before installing this mod.
Uses TSLPatcher for easy installation, simply unzip and click to install.
3. Compatibility (mods/existing saves):
This mod has been tested successfully with PartySwap and Extended Enclave (plus their compatibility patch when used together) with no issues, and should be compatible with most common mods. TSLPatcher will edit instead of replace the globalcat file, and the majority of the mod is contained within the Atton.dlg file and 222mand.dlg files, others can be eliminated if needed for compatibility with other desired mods.
No gender checks are used in this mod and it appears to be fully compatible with Leilukin’s Atton Rand and Male Exile mod for anyone wanting to play the full romance with a male PC - just make sure this mod is downloaded first, then Leilukin’s after (linking with permission from Leilukin).
This mod has been tested with no issues when using existing save files, so can skip Peragus/Telos if preferred. See full game guide to decide where to start.
4. Permissions:
You may screenshot/record clips of the new dialog from this mod as long as you include a link/credit to this mod, but please do not record and post full conversations or repost this mod to other sites. If you are interested in making additional Atton/Exile content building on this/using dialogue/sound files that I created, please reach out to me as I am happy to grant permissions/share files - if anyone skilled in animation/scripting is up for making a tweaks mod for them to interact on-screen rather than use fade-to-blacks that would be especially welcome!
5. Gameplay Guide:
Simple version - If Atton is spoken to at the start of each new planet/just before the rebuilt Enclave, spoken to both on and off the ship once the relationship arc has started to use the [Flirt] options, and allowed to speak to you when he asks near the end of game, all major voiced content will be seen. One additional conversation with Atton unlocks if you both recruit Mira and meditate with Disciple to trigger an existing cutscene between Mira and Atton, and one new optional conversation is available with T3M4 about what he has seen once the romance begins after you find the first Jedi Master.
Full list of voiced content and triggers:
Telos - While in Residential Module 82, tell Atton you are interested in exploring the area. (short, but lets you confirm the mod is working)
Polar Academy - Have Atton in your party when completing the Handmaiden Fight Circle. (minor and not counted as a conversation)
After finding your first Jedi Master - one new full conversation option unlocks after each master. The final conversation later will still be triggered even if one or more were missed, and you can unlock multiple conversations in a row if needed to catch up.
After the first post-Jedi Master conversation is done and the romance begins, speak to Atton at any time to use the [Flirt] options (3 total are available to choose from on the Hawk, 1 when off the ship - if other companions are in the party when that is triggered they will react as well).
Also after the first post-Jedi Master conversation, speak to T3M4 about what he saw and he will talk with you about it.
If Mira is recruited and your character mediates with Disciple and triggers the cutscene between Atton and Mira, speak to Atton afterwards about it.
Endings -
This mod does not change the two existing possible endings for Atton from TSLRCM, but for continuity it works best when decided at the end of the battle on Telos, just before leaving for the Ravager with Mandalore:
Happy ending - Allow Atton to speak to you, then ensure he wins his battle with Scion on Malachor.
Heartbreak - When Atton asks to speak with you, tell him you will have time to talk later. Then, allow Atton to lose the Scion fight. At the end, say you will stay with him.
6. Credit:
This mod would not have been at all possible without JC's extensive help, from creating the SithCodec so I could modify the existing audio files and re-encode them, all the information and scripts to make lip files, plus constantly answering my frequent questions in the Discord server when I hit problems I couldn't troubleshoot on my own.
Likewise, the KOTOR server and entire DS forums have been hugely helpful with advice/tutorials on seemingly every aspect of modding! Thank you so much!
Tools used: Kotor Tool, DLG Editor, TSLPatcher, Sith Codec, LipSync Editor
