TSL Backdrop Improvements 1.4

Two questions:

1) What is the name of the orange nebula texture you use? I like everything in the mod package except that one - as I like the subtlety of the original.

2) You use Trench's Peragus texture. If I also wish to use that, in what order should I both mods?

Is the canonical planet placement included in the optional section?

1) EBO_neb.tga

2) Doesn't matter since my mod does not replace the Peragus backdrop texture. So you can install them in any order you want.

No, that's bead-v's TSL Galaxy Map Fix (I was too lazy to remove it for the screenshots^^)

So, how were you able to get the Admiralty Mod working with TSLRCM? I ran into a bug, and I didn't know how to fix it. In fact, maybe TSLRCM should just incorporate the Admiralty mod altogether so we don't need to download it separately. I mean, which Admiral wears red Echani armor? Carth Onasi?

beautiful as always

This mod really shows how horrid the vanilla textures are! Comparing your backgrounds to the characters and environments really show a sharp contrast between quality! Nice work! I just hope someday the rest of the game can look as good!

The textures look beautiful! Very high quality, as usual! I think I speak for the whole community when I say; thank you, Kexikus, for another awesome mod! 

dude, Kexikus i meant .... lol     what did u do within the 003atton dlg??

cos i already have that dlg in my Override. And how about 222TEL15 models mdl/mdx?? i also have a 222TEL15 mdx but a 758 kb one in comparison to your 148 kb model.

cheers. Just checked the files and i "know" this is gonna be an awesome improvement to my install

For 003atton.dlg: I had to add a script there to activate the animation of the asteroids flying by the ship during the escape from Peragus. If you want to make whatever mod installed 003atton.dlg and mine, just open yours from the Override, find the dialog branch for the escape from Peragus and add "bd_spawn_per" as the script fired on the first dialog node and "bd_reset" as the script fired on the last dialog node.

For 222TEL15: As stated in the description, this file is from TSLRCM. The reason why mine is smaller is due to the fact that I did not add 3d Sith starships but 2d backdrops since they are way too small for the 3d model to have any benefit.

perfect! thanks alot. All i needed to know, for compatibility ...  

just saw something on old saves like the Telos retexture seen from the Ravager bridge, im-pre-ssive indeed my my goodness     lol

keep up the impressive work  

You turned that Ravager bridge into a real duel of the fates. Awesome job.

good to hear that !! (black square fix)

however, filenames to be replaced to fix the black square around Peragus bug ??   keep it up

151HARs.mdl and 151HARs.mdx. Also keep in mind that if you updated from 1.0 to any other version at some point, you'll want to delete 851nih.are und 852nih.are as those are no longer in the mod.

151HARs.mdl and 151HARs.mdx. Also keep in mind that if you updated from 1.0 to any other version at some point, you'll want to delete 851nih.are und 852nih.are as those are no longer in the mod.

thank u. i was wrong actually ready to replace textures instead ....

i have the 1.3 or 1.2 version i believe. Loved the Telos and Goto's View needless to say !!!

very impressive and "realistic" work. thanks again.

Little Question:

Are the Ships in the Cutscene, where Carth Onasi is seen on the Sojourn Bridge Pictures or actual Models?

The Republic ships are actual models, the Sith ships are textures as they're so far away that it makes no difference.

I see. thanks for the quick answer

love it, thank you!!!

The aspect in hyperspace needs some adjustment. It shows a like-blue-cloud effect inside the cockpit.

Anyway is one of the bests MODs I've seen in its category.

BRAVO!!

I'm trying my hardest to get the black square to go away but I can't figure out how. /: Love the mod tho. Any help is appreciated! Do 851nih and 852nih effect the black square around peragus? Idk why it's there because I have the most recent version of the mod. I also have KOTOR 2 UNLIMITED WORLD TEXTURE MOD so maybe that's where 851nih and 852nih come in?

I do have trenchs mod & all the mods you recommend in the description installed btw. Idk what the problem is. I've looked through the forums and see that version 1.4 fixed this problem and I have had a previous version of the game where it worked (no black box) but I've been trying to fix this for a couple hours now with no luck.

851nih and 852nih are not related to that, no.

Try redownloading the mod and reinstalling it and make sure that you replace all files when asked to do so. I sadly can't remember what caused the black square but it really should go away if the latest version is properly installed. If that doesn't work you can always delete all files starting with 151har from your Override. That will revert all changes I made to the harbinger level but that might be preferrable to the black square.

Thank you for the info I will try both!

Tried both, didn't work, but I should clarify my problem is on the tutorial not the harbinger so I suppose I need to know what files edit that backdrop when you get a chance.

I think there might be a compatibility issue with HD Cockpit Skyboxes in regards to the hyperspace skybox.

There's a lot of good work done here, these look awesome overall!

But I'm sorry to say that from looking at the screenshots... the Telos backdrop where the Ravager is seen from a distance while you're on Citadel Station has problems. The Ravager isn't as damaged as it's supposed to be, and the damage it has doesn't match up to its appearance in the pre-rendered cutscenes (for example, where there should be a huge gash on the port side just aft of midship with exposed frame ribs visible... the Ravager in the new backdrop just has some comparatively minor chunks out of the outer hull). That seems an odd oversight given the goal of improving continuity.

It does have exposed ribs, I just tried to keep it consistent with the original color scheme of the game so as to not stray too far from the Vanilla look. I didn't use the pre-rendered video where the Republic attacks the Ravager (Which in hindsight would probably have been a better choice), but there is a lot of detail that I painstakingly added including ribs, bits of framework torn apart from previous battles, and plenty of deep gashes with carbon scoring.
