A KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II: THE SITH LORDS MODIFICATION

ORIGINAL AUTHOR: DarthTyren (darthtyren@gmail.com)
CURRENT MANAGER: Leilukin
LATEST VERSION: 1.4
FILE NAME: PartySwap 1.4.7z
CONTACT: E-mail to Leilukin at leilukin@outlook.com, or message to Leilukin on Deadly Stream

 

1. DESCRIPTION:

This mod allows the player to recruit both Handmaiden and Disciple in the same playthrough regardless of the player character's gender.

After Disciple joins your party on Dantooine, a usable adrenal item named PartySwap will be added to your inventory. You can use this PartySwap item to replace any member of the current party with Handmaiden, as long as you are able to choose your party at that point of the game. This item is created to work around the limitations of not being able to select Handmaiden from the party selection screen after Disciple joins your party and takes Handmaiden’s slot in the party selection screen. However, Handmaiden remains still one of your party members, and you can still talk to Handmaiden.

This mod also modifies certain parts of the game where potentially both Handmaiden and Disciple can become involved in the cut scenes. In addition, this mod prevents Handmaiden and Disciple from referring to the player character with the wrong pronouns by editing dialog and splicing voiceovers.

For this mod to take effect, you must install this mod before you leave the secret academy on Telos, where Handmaiden joins your party. The PartySwap item only works if Handmaiden has already joined your party.

NOTE: Since July 2023, the original mod author DarthTyren has officially handed over the management and development of this mod to Leilukin, due to DarthTyren's departure from the KotOR modding scene. Therefore, if you have questions about or encountered any issues with this mod, Leilukin is the one to contact for.

 

2. INSTALLATION:

First and foremost, make sure you have The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) installed, since TSLRCM is REQUIRED for this mod to work.

After downloading this mod, extract the mod’s 7z file to anywhere you like, as long as it is not within the KotOR 2 directory.

Run PartySwap Installer.exe located inside the extracted folder. You will see two installation options. You may only choose ONE of these options:

  • Default Installation: Choose this option if you use TSLRCM without M4-78EP.
  • M4-78EP Installation: Choose this option if you use M4-78 Enhancement Project (M4-78EP) in addition to TSLRCM. You must install M4-78EP first before running this installation option.

FOR REGULAR TSLRCM USERS:

Choose the installation option you want, and select your KotOR 2 game folder as your KotOR 2 directory path, click the “Install” button and let the installer do its job.

FOR STEAM WORKSHOP USERS:

If you have subscribed to The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) from the Steam Workshop, for your KotOR directory path, you must choose TSLRCM's Steam Workshop folder, NOT the main KOTOR 2 directory. The directory of the Steam Workshop version of TSLRCM is \Steam\SteamApps\Workshop\content\208580\485537937, while the directory of the TSLRCM + M4-78EP combined Steam Workshop mod is \Steam\SteamApps\Workshop\content\208580\1402798020.

 

When you install this mod, two new folders named "backup" and “uninstall” will be created by the installer in the same folder as the installer. Do not delete the folders or any of the files within the folder if you are planning on uninstalling this mod.

This mod also provides a compatibility patch for deathdisco’s Coruscant Jedi Temple mod. Go to the “Coruscant Jedi Temple Compatibility Patch” folder from this mod, read the READ ME files within the subfolder and follow the instructions to make PartySwap compatible with Coruscant Jedi Temple.

Note: The "Source" folder includes the source of the script used by this mod for modders' reference. Ignore the "Source" folder if you only want to install and play this mod.

 

3. UNINSTALLATION:

Open PartySwap Installer.exe and select your KotOR 2 directory where you installed this mod. From the “Tools” dropdown menu, select “Uninstall Mod / Restore Backup”, then confirm to uninstall the mod. You can also choose to delete the backup after uninstalling the mod.

 

4. KNOWN ISSUES:

None currently known. If you find any bugs or issues, please report them by posting on PartySwap’s download page or support thread on the Deadly Stream forums, or contact Leilukin directly.

 

5. MOD COMPATIBILITY:

Apart from The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM), which is required for this mod to work, any mod that edits Kreia's endgame dialog (904kreia.dlg) or Zuka's dialog on Dxun (zuka.dlg) is incompatible with this mod, unless they merge in installation. In that case, you must install PartySwap first.

This mod is not compatible with any other mod that involves putting the holorec.dlg file in the Override folder. If you want to use this mod, make sure you DO NOT have holorec.dlg in your Override folder, or Handmaiden will not be able to join your party when you play a female character!

This mod provides a compatibility patch for deathdisco’s Coruscant Jedi Temple.

This mod is compatible with KOTOR 2 Community Patch.

This mod is compatible with JC2's Train the Handmaiden.

This mod is compatible with all Leilukin’s mods for KotOR 2, including the romance mods, as long as you follow the instructions from Leilukin’s mod.

If you want to use danil-ch and Darth Hayze’s Extended Enclave, downloading and installing a separate compatibility patch is required to make PartySwap compatible with Extended Enclave. If you use Leilukin’s Handmaiden and Female Exile – Disciple and Male Exile Romance, you need to use the patch included in that mod. Otherwise, go to this page for a standalone compatibility patch: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1304-partyswap-and-extended-enclave-compatibility-patch/

 

6. PERMISSION:

You may modify this mod for personal use or show this mod in screenshots. However, please do not redistribute or re-host this mod. Do not release your mods containing assets from this mod without permission.

 

7. CREDITS:

Thanks to the wonderful modding community at Holowan Labs/DeadlyStream for helping with the problems faced with the development of this mod.
Special thanks to VarsityPuppet, for teaching about #include scripts and how this mod does not need to bother with them.

Snigaroo — For testing and reporting bugs, including the game breaking bug surrounding Disciple's endgame dialog, as well as transferring the ownership of this mod file to Leilukin on Deadly Stream.
Cortisol and th3w1zard1 — For developing HoloPatcher as a better alternative to TSLPatcher to make installing and uninstalling this mod faster.

Excellent! I suppose I would need to Uninstall Handmaiden 4 Females before installing this mod?

 

I would say so.

What about the chance of adding Mira and Hanharr??

 

That, quite literally, doesn't work with the story of the game, because they're mortal enemies. Having them both join your crew would break a part of Nar Shaddaa, as well as Malachor V.

Bug:

 

When I left the Telos Academy, I got the scene with Atris where she tells the other handmaidens that Brianna has left with me. But when I got to the ship, Brianna didn't join the holo conversation ("those are master atris's records you have stolen!") and she's not on board the ship.

 

I have a female Exile- that's probably what's causing this problem.

 

Sorry, but I'll be uninstalling this until that's fixed.

You weren't the only one who reported this bug. It was a pretty blaring bug, but it had a very easy fix. The latest version is very improved.

 

That's right folks, 1.1 is out!

Hello - I came across two errors whilst installing this mod using the TSLpatcher:

 

Warning: Unable to find a field label matching "ReplyList\25\EntriesList\1\Active2" in krehand1.dlg, skipping...
Warning: Unable to find a field label matching "ReplyList\260\EntriesList\1\Active2" in 650jedi.dlg, skipping...

Happy to see it public again! Is this compatible with Extended Enclave?

 

No, as it's one of those that modifies Kreia's endgame dialog.

i've recruited both handmaiden and disciple, and was able to switch handmaiden in once using the adrenal item, but now on nar shaddaa, i can't seem to find it to switch her in?

Found an error over on my end. Before hitting the installer for PartySwap I did a fresh reinstall of kotor 2 (steam version) and installed TSLRCM (v 1.8.5). Other than that, I have no other mods installed and have not so much as started a game yet.

Firstly, I ran across the system not being able to find a few files, but I was able to locate them so that problem was resolved fairly quickly when I pointed out to the system where they were.

Now however, I'm being beset with this:

Error: Cannot open file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Knights of the Old Republic II\PartySwap 1.3\tslpatchdata\zuka.dlg". The system cannot find the file specified (EXT-0)

I'm not sure if I'm just being dumb (I'm not overly literate with computers) but I haven't been able to find this file or find a way to get this message resolved. Previously, when it could not find a file it simply asked me to locate them for it, but in this case it cancels the installation entirely. Not sure what the problem is, but any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for your time.

Well, I know I've never tried to install the mod from the game folder itself. That might have something to do with it(?)

I have some questions:

In the normal game you can recruit 10 companions. Is it now possible to recruit 11, since you don't have to choose between Handmaiden and Disciple? How's the party selection screen gonna be? 11 portraits to choose from? And this item (adrenal) what is the purpose? Does it ditch one companion for good so I can recruit Handmaiden?

What is the problem here? Did the cutscene break leaving you with just Handmaiden or are you unaware you recruit Disciple on Dantooine like normal?

I'm not getting the party swap item, its not appearing on my hotbar

 

Were you able to successfully recruit both Handmaiden and Disciple? Did you receive any warnings or errors during install?

Hello, I seem to be having an issue with this mod. While I am able to recruit Handmaiden and Disciple, it seems that rather than getting the item to swap in Handmaiden, I get the Power Drain program instead when I recruit Disciple.
