PartySwap 1.4.1

Greetings! I've started a female Exile run-through with party-swap installed, but upon leaving Telos, Handmaiden doesn't seem to keen on joining. I leave the Secret Academy, and after all conversation and cutscene of the Exile's exile, Brianne doesn't make her grand entrance. I can travel to other planets, and she still isn't there.

I'm using the build from this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/kotor/wiki/kotor2modbuildfull#wiki_partyswap as well, but upon uninstalling PartySwap, Enclave Extended, and the PartySwap/Extended Enclave Compatch, and then reinstalling all 3 mods, I'm still getting the same result, both by reverting to a save before leaving for the Academy, and for any save afterwards. I don't receive any errors at installation and only receive the following warnings:

 • Warning: A file named GBLDISCIPLE701.lip already exists in the Override folder. Skipping file...

 • Warning: A file named GBLDISCIPLE701.mp3 already exists in the StreamVoice\GBL\DISCIPLE folder. Skipping file...

In this case, after reinstalling would I need to revert to a save before I even reach Telos? As far as I can tell, none of these mods should be broken by others on this list, but I might be missing something. Any help would be extraordinarily appreciated - thanks!

What issue?

The item did not spawn when recruiting Disciple. I was able to use context clues and figure out the item I needed was literally partyswap and it's been working fine after using the consoe to giveitem it to myself.

I mean, I might be missing something, but I haven't played with the total mod build yet - just RCM and PS. I'm not sure what might be causing it, as I've had to double and triple check to make sure it was actually working properly multiple times.

... You're not getting the item when recruiting Disciple...? That literally makes zero sense. Unless the wrong script is firing, or it's been overwritten by something else, you should be receiving the item - it's the whole point of the mod.

It turns out I'm just an imbecile. I'd forgotten that at some time in the distant past I'd installed Steam workshop versions of TSLRCM and some other mods. After deleting those, this mod (along with the addition of the Leilukin's Handmaiden and Female Exile mod) seem to be working. I appreciate your response, and thanks for trying - even though it was just purely user error.

Now only time will tell if those post-start Workshop mods I deleted will cause my game to break at some point.

Maybe a fix for those, who have problems, that handmaiden won't join female exile. Couldn't really find a solution.

I deleted the holorec.dlg providided by Party Swap from override and now i works like a charm. In my case.

holorec.dlg doesn't go into override, it goes to the module for the holorecording (950COR.mod, for those curious). If you're finding it in override, I'd ask what other mods you're using.

I use alot of mods. The only other mod i've found as im aware of using holorec.dlg is the Coruscant Scene No Overlay by Hassat Hunter
If i understand you correctly, the holorec.dlg should be in the Modules folder after tslpatching.

The one from this mod will be injected inside 950.MOD. If there's another mod that puts the DLG in the override folder, they're not compatible with this one as-is.

That explains alot. Ty for the insight.

So it would be better to say, that it is incompatible with said mod. And there lies the "fix".

I'm trying to set this mod up and keep getting told "unable to locate TLK file to patch, "dialog.tlk" file not found! (GEN-8)" when I try to send it to the override folder. Not sure what I'm doing wrong?

You should point the installer to the main KotOR 2 directory, not the Override folder. This applies to all KotOR mods that use the TSLPatcher.

That did the trick. Thank you!

Having an issue where Brianna doesn't show up after leaving Telos--I have a save inside Atris' compound, and when i load from there, i get the cutscene of the handmaidens talking to Atris, but Brianna is nowhere to be found after

I am having a problem after recruiting the disciple, the Handmaiden just stops getting exp

I'm sure I know the answer, but I figure ill ask anyways.

So I am on my first playthrough and was unaware that you don't get handmaiden as a female (I assumed you only couldn't romance her)

I've already recruited Disciple before I installed the mod. I have now installed the mod and used the save editor to give me the party swap item, but when I try and use the item it says "Handmaiden is unavailable" and nothing happens.

Am I just SOL for getting her story for this playthrough? Or am I just doing something wrong that the item doesn't like me. And unfortunately I'm loathe to go back to a save before finishing Telos as that would be 13 saved hours lost and I'm not sure if that's worth it or not.

Yes, you are out of luck for having Handmaiden in your party and getting her story for this playthrough.

This mod only works if you install it before you leave the Telos Academy, where Handmaiden joins you. The PartySwap item only works if Handmaiden has already joined your party.

So your only option is either reload a save before Handmaiden joins you, or start a new playthrough.

I manage to recruit both the disciple and the handmaiden but I haven't received the partyswap item, is there anything I should look for in my instalation?

Are you using any other mods? List all of them and the order you installed the mods.

I asked because I'm using a bunch of mods I am basicaly using this list on order from top to bottom https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2527653447

I really do not recommend this modding guide at all. I have no idea how thorough this mod guide tested all the listed mods, and I do not use all the mods listed in the guide. Most importantly, installation order matters a lot when it comes to installing KotOR mods, especially if you are going to use a lot of mods, but the modding guide only groups mods by category, so the lack of emphasis on installation order may cause problems that would be difficult to identify the source, like the problem you are having right now.

If you are looking for a mod guide for the KotOR games, I would recommend the one from the KOTOR Community Portal instead, which also includes PartySwap: https://kotor.neocities.org/modding/

Therefore, my only suggestion for you is a complete reinstall of your game, and refer to KOTOR Community Portal's modding guide instead of that one on Steam.

thanks I'll check this new guide in detail, but sure you don't know of any files I could check on the other mods the where installed after partyswap, my intention is to fix the guide I know I'll have to start a fresh kotor 2 install

The KOTOR Community Portal's modding guide is not new at all. It has existed for years. Previously it was hosted on the KotOR subreddit since as early as 2013. Unlike that modding guide on Steam, KOTOR Community Portal's modding guide involves active collaboration with modders, me included, so I can confidently vouch for the quality of KOTOR Community Portal's mod builds, and I cannot say the same about that modding guide on Steam at all.

The thing about installing a lot of KotOR mods is that you often cannot fix a problem with one particular mod by just removing the files of that mod. In fact, doing so likely just cause more problems to your game. Therefore, if you use a lot of mods, and you are encountering an issue that you do not know the source of the problem, the best solution is a complete reinstallation.

I'm using this with the community mod build and everything seems to be working correctly but I did get the cutscene where Atton and Disciple argue over a female Exile, and I am playing a male. Couldn't find anything referencing this issue in the comments here.

This was because of a conflict between PartySwap and Kreia's Fall In-Game Cutscene, since both mods modify k_003ebo_enter, the script that is used for the Ebon Hawk cutscenes. PartySwap modifies the script to add gender check to the rivalry/pseudo-romance scenes for Atton/Disciple and Handmaiden/Visas, while Kreis's Fall In-Game Cutscene modifies the script to allows for smooth transition to the Ebon Hawk when the Kreia cutscene ends. The mod build installs Kreia's Fall In-Game Cutscene after PartySwap, thus overriding the changes made by PartySwap.

Therefore, I have updated PartySwap to 1.4.1 to add a compatibility patch for Kreia's Fall In-Game Cutscene.

I'm just curious is this something possible to be used with custom companions? Mainly wondering if we could make something like this in Kotor one. So, we have an npc on the Ebon Hawke. Then once we want to change it over. We select the party member we want to replace with the other. Not sure if we have to many it'll crash the ship. Though since we get Gizka on the ship I don't think that'd be an issue. I believe there are two unused party slots you can mess with. The only issue I could see is if there is no way to call that data. I managed to place one of them in the world according to the editor so it could be possible. I think I'll experiment with placing them. There are so many companions I rather not replace though I have an idea for some. I may have to bite the bullet and replace Jolee though he is sometimes way too funny to replace.
