KMRP - KOTOR Modern Restoration Patch 1.5.0

KMRP 1.5: the biggest update since release.

Resolution and display

• No resolution to choose in the installer. The game starts at your display's own resolution.
• The in-game Screen Resolution list shows every size and refresh rate your display supports, each listed once.
• Changing resolution in the game takes effect at once, with no restart and no patching again.
• Any resolution works, not only listed ones. 66 common sizes have menus built for them; any other size gets menus fitted to it.
• Connect another display, a 4K television for example, and its resolutions appear by themselves.
• The mouse stays inside the game window in fullscreen.
• The game comes to the front when it starts.
  

Text, lists and menus

• Menu and dialogue text is drawn at the size it was rendered at, so it is sharp.
• Text no longer runs over the right edge of its box.
• List rows sit as far from their box's left border as from its right.
• Lists are as tall as whole rows, spaced like the inventory's.
• Skill rows are as tall as the Feats and Powers rows, and skill icons grow with them and sit inside their frames.
• The journal shows six quest rows, spaced like the inventory's.
• Item icons sit in their slots at the game's own size.
• The target's action buttons are no longer cut off.
• The combat-mode message reads in full, on one line.
• The status summary fits its text and no longer crowds its right edge.
• Popups with long text make a wide box at high resolutions, not a tall, narrow one.
• Stack counts in shops sit in the icon's lower right corner, like the inventory's.
• Feedback Options: the circles no longer sit on the scrollbar. Script Selection: the option rows are centred.
• The one-frame white flash in the in-game menus is gone.
  

Movies

• Movies play at the game's resolution, with no switch to 640x480 and no flicker.
• Movies are no longer cropped on a screen wider than the movie.
• Controller buttons can skip movies.
  

Controller support (new)

• A controller works on every screen: menus, character creation, level up, settings, shops, Pazaak, dialogue.
• Button pictures on every menu, matching your pad (Xbox or PlayStation), shown from the first frame and following the pad you use.
• Rumble, using BioWare's own 22 patterns, with three settings.
• A Controller Layout screen.
• D-pad moves through every list and setting; holding a direction scrolls.
• Start opens the Map and closes the menu; R3 changes which party member a menu shows; LT and RT switch menu tabs.
• In combat, X disengages and Y cancels the last queued action.
• An A beside the highlighted dialogue reply and beside the focused button in Yes/No boxes.
• Controller support is also a patch of its own, "KOTOR 1 Native Controller Mod + Xbox HUD", which works without the rest of KMRP and on any interface mod.
  

Xbox-style HUD (new)

• A HUD modelled on the console version, on by default and switchable.
• It follows the device in use (pad or mouse) and fits any screen.
• Its frames are redrawn and its portraits framed alike.
  

High frame rates (new)

• High FPS Fix option, installing D3M0's High FPS Fixes. Switched on by itself above 60 Hz.
  

macOS (new)

• KMRP for the Steam game on the Mac, with its own installer, on Intel and Apple Silicon.
• Same features as Windows: resolution chosen in the game, controller support as its own patch, High FPS Fixes, HD icons as an option.
  

Linux

• Tested on Ubuntu with Proton. No Steam Deck was tested.
  

Installer

• The game's own file is no longer rewritten; changes are applied in memory each time the game starts, through KOTOR Patch Manager's runtime.
• KMRP is now two patches, each working without the other, so other KPM patches can sit beside them.
• Finds Steam's and GOG's KOTOR by itself, and accepts GOG's own executable.
• Optional parts are independent: controller support, Xbox-style HUD, HD item icons, map notes, High FPS Fix.
• Says when a newer KMRP is out.
• KMRP's patch is half the size: 129 MB instead of 249 MB.
  

Crashes and faults fixed

• Loading a save from in game no longer crashes.
• Level Up no longer opens twice and freezes the game.
• Character creation no longer crashes on A; the Name screen stays open after A.
• The status summary no longer crashes after a D-pad press.
• R3 free look no longer crashes the game.
• Answering a dialog no longer acts on the world behind it.
• A on a door works again after an action slot had the focus.
• Several faults after changing resolution in the game: ability rows, the first party portrait, the pause box and conversation text.
• Controller button pictures on container screens are no longer tiny.
