ENDAR SPIRE Complete Overhaul 3.1.2

"Install the Parts 2 - 5 via XnView" makes no sense, and I do not understand what exactly you mean to do, as you haven't really posted a tutorial for how to use that, or why you can't just copy and paste the files into override without that program. So thus, I won't be wasting my time with this.

Wait a second - are you trying to insult my work? Seriously?

Ive told you - twice - that due to a engine bug the installation process via XnView is necessary - primarily because im using animated textures.

So stop pestering around or just ask like every normal person when you dont understand something.

Wow...Not cool... 

Especially considering exactly how much work obviously went into this...

Anyways, I just have a quick question - I installed this and I'm getting a bunch of transparent textures (Chairs, Walls) - maybe the animated textures aren't mapping the CM_ textures correctly.

Which .2da file is it that needs to be modified to point towards the correct cubemap?

Are the transparent textures on other planets or only on the Endar Spire?

Have you installed everything - also the txi files? Do you have other mods with cubemaps installed?

It might help if you upload a pic...

Besides, the animated textures havent anything to do with the CM files- i use the cubemaps mostly to create shine on textures & intensity on lights - so its important that you just download and install the mod without changing anything...

Btw, unlike normal shine the cubemap created one doesnt cause any compatibility issues with graphics cards..

Hmmm. Not sure what would have caused an incompatibility. I reinstalled with your instructions. Used Xnview.

I'll try it again. If I have the same problem I'll upload a screen shot.

Thank you!

So...yeah. I re-copied the .txi files... and it looks great.

Just like it should.

Just like you said....

So....yeah

Read the F***in directions, people........

Thank you, Jorak Uln. May your shwartz always be bigger than mine.

Quick question - What's in Part3.part2? I keep getting an error when trying to extract it. 

Quick question - What's in Part3.part2? I keep getting an error when trying to extract it. 

This had me scratching my head for a minute, too, but I think I figured it out.  From what I can see, it appears that Part3.part2 seems to extract automatically when you extract Part3.part1, so there shouldn't be a need to extract Part3.part2 separately.

Both .rar archives contain just one file with the same name, PLC_map01.tga, which each archive says is 111.2 MB.

Part3.part1.rar is 80.0 MB and Part3.part2.rar is 31.2 MB, which added together equal 111.2 MB.  When I extract Part3.part1.rar the extracted PLC_map01.tga file comes out at just over 111 MB and opens just fine in XnView, so it seems to work.

It would appear Part3.part2.rar gives an error when extracted by itself because it requires Part3.part1.rar to have already been extracted so its data can append itself to the PLC_map01.tga in the archive, but when Part3.part1.rar is extracted it automatically tells Part3.part2.rar to extract anyway, so when you tell the second part to extract by itself it gets confused and doesn't know what to do.

As long you end up with a 111 MB file named PLC_map01.tga that will open in XnView with no difficulties, it appears that you should be good to go.  I am a bit confused as to why the file was archived this way; perhaps there's an 80 MB file size limit for uploads to the server or something, but whatever.  The instructions could be a bit clearer, but the screenshots look fantastic, so I'm eager to give this a try.

Hey! So this mod (and the associated ones) looks really cool, but I'm not sure I'd want to redo only certain environments. Are the overhauled zones different enough that the unaltered ones would look off in comparison? If so, (or even if not really) how long do you anticipate the full game taking? I know it's a huge undertaking so feel free to say you have no idea, that's totally fair.

so ... which part has the planet view and few textures of the first areas??

P.S. i am sooooooo short of free HD space ... soooo short ...    
 
P.S.b.  needless to say, extremely impressive stuff in here according to screens/vids

is KOTOR/override not the same as TSL/Override ? I can't find the TSL in my swotor file. help pls!!

You should put this into KOTOR/Override in your SWKOTOR folder. TSL is just a typo I believe, this is a mod for KOTOR 1.

Me too.  I tried extracting with 7zip, only to have repeated issues with part 3.  The program froze over and over, so I downloaded the latest version, and it kept crashing.  I restarted my comp over and over, no change.  I downloaded winrar, and then deleted the previous extractions in case 7zip didn't get it right for some reason.

I eventually wound up with what I THINK are the right files, but this file partioning really confused me.

First off thank you so much for taking the time to bring some much needed updates to this great game, I installed this mod and it looks great for the most part except at the beginning when my character wakes up and I can look through the windows, I see the shooting from a ship flying by but do not see the actual ship. So all I see is something shooting but nothing flying by afterwards. I do have other mods installed so perhaps that's the issue. but was just curious if you may know a solution off the top of your head. I installed as directed, thanks!

I am impressed with the quality of this mod.

PS: FOLLOW the mods installation instructions!

Hello I can't download any of your overhaul mods. It says internal error. What should I do? Do you have these files hosted at any other site?

The panels are graphically glitched for me. Anyone have the same problem or know how to fix that?

Thanks for the beautiful Mod!

Can you make a version without xnview? I'm on Android, so I can't use xnview.

Would other file conversion software work or just xnview?

Quick question - What's in Part3.part2? I keep getting an error when trying to extract it. 

This is a split Archive file the two parts are one file split into two parts.

Part3.part1.rar 80MB

Part3.part2.rar 31.24MB

When 7-Zip extracts the Part3.part1.rar File you get a single folder

Part3 111 MB

This already includes the Part3.part2.rar content, and is handled automatically by 7-Zip.

Trying to extract the Part3.part2.rar separately, correctly poduces an error.

These days, there's little need to split archives, but back in Ye Olde times, when sites had much lower file limits, it was not unusual.

Though it's a little confusing here, with the file names used for the mod [.part#.rar], and [.#.7z] are actually the file extension names for split archives, with the numbers giving the parts position in the full file.

why can i not extract properly part 3.1 and part 4? everything else works fine

For some reason the walls which I directly face are brighter than the ones behind my character. This is kinda disorientating when my character turns.

I haven't played kotor 1 in a long time ,i used to install all the texture mods by  Xarwarz along with countless other mods from a few of the old sites (used to love finding those small sites hosted by individual modders).

I have a lot of mods stored on hard drives ,don't remember what half them are ,should be fun checking them

Anyone know if this mod will install ok alongside the texture packs by Xarwarz ?

p.s:

I just zipped up all the archive parts and i get a file that is 66mb with winrar

or 55mb with 7zip.

could save a bit of bandwidth if it was packed into one file.
