About This File
Claim the Korriban Sith Academy as Revan. A new voiced outcome for the Valley student ambush in KOTOR 1, with three ways to take the crown.
WHAT IT DOES
After the final test on Korriban, the three students waiting in the Valley of the Dark Lords attack you. With this mod, a character who knows they are Revan gets one more reply: [Persuade] I am Revan. If it lands, the students do not fight. They break, and you choose how to rule them:
1. Kneel. (dark side)
2. Stop shaking. I have no use for anyone who is only afraid of me. (light side)
3. Say it out loud. Both of you. What just happened here. (neutral)
Afterwards the students stand down, the Academy door opens to you again, and students inside greet their new ruler. If the persuade fails, or you have not yet learned who you are, the original fight plays out unchanged.
- 13 new NPC lines, voiced and lip-synced
- Gender-neutral references to Revan
- English only
- Works from a save made before you meet the Valley students
This is a small beta: it adds the takeover moment and its aftermath, not a full academy-management story.
INSTALL
Standard HoloPatcher mod as of 0.1.0-beta.3. Put HoloPatcher next to the tslpatchdata folder, run it, select your KOTOR 1 folder and press Install. TSLPatcher itself has not been tested with it.
It patches kor36_endsith1.dlg and kor35_sithstudm.dlg through GFFList, adds two rows to globalcat.2da (KOR_REVAN_RULES, KOR_REVAN_STYLE), and installs seven k_revan_ scripts (precompiled, source included), 13 voice files to streamwaves and 13 lip files to Override and the two Korriban lips archives.
COMPATIBILITY AND KNOWN LIMITS
- Tested on the Steam Mac version from saves at the Valley encounter, not a full playthrough. Windows is untested. Reports welcome.
- The beta.3 package was verified by installing it with the HoloPatcher engine in PyKotor 2.3.12 onto a clean game and comparing the result with the files tested in game. It has not been replayed in game since repackaging.
- The dialogue patch addresses existing reply links by position, so install order matters if another mod restructures the same two dialogues.
- K1 Community Patch and K1R: not tested with this version.
- Uninstall: HoloPatcher 2.0 restores everything. Older HoloPatcher versions leave 13 unused lip entries in the two lips archives; README.txt says how to restore them from the backup.
AI DISCLOSURE
- The 13 new lines are AI-generated speech (ElevenLabs stock voices; voice audio by elevenlabs.io). No voice was cloned from the original cast or from any person. They do not sound identical to the original actors.
- Dialogue, scripts, packaging and testing were made with AI assistance.
PERMISSIONS
Free only; never sell or paywall it. Please do not re-upload elsewhere. Ask before reusing its content in another mod. Unofficial fan project, not endorsed by the rights holders.

What's New in Version 0.1.0-beta.3 See changelog
Released
Repackaged as a standard HoloPatcher mod (tslpatchdata with changes.ini). The custom Python installer and the modified PyKotor compiler are gone. Game content is unchanged from beta.2: installing with HoloPatcher's engine onto a clean game gives the same dialogue, globals, scripts, voice and lip files that were tested in game. See README.txt for install, what it changes, and one known uninstall gap.
