Happy Holidays!

 

Here's a small mod that sprung from someone else's hard work!

 

Refurbished Astromech Droids
================================

 

MOD AUTHOR: Sith Holocron
ORIGINAL RELEASE: 25 DEC 2016
UPDATED RELEASE: 31 JUL 2017

 

GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1

 

Description:
-------------------
I asked Darth_Sapiens some time ago if he planned to redo the astromech droids for the KOTOR games - as he did such a wonderful job in his T3M4 HD 2k (http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/514-darth-sapiens-presents-t3m4-hd-2k/) mod. He didn't wind up doing it so I wound up recoloring his texture to retexture the other astromech droids myself.

 

As 3C-FD - the droid that assists T3-M4 in the prologue - uses one of these textures, I've also included an avatar picture for 3C-FD in this package as well.

 

Installation:
--------------------

For Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 - Extract all files into the Star Wars Knights of the Old RepublicII/Override folder. It is highly recommended to also install Darth Sapiens' T3M4 HD 2k as this mod doesn't touch T3-M4. This is not required however. If you already have Darth_Sapiens' T3M4 HD 2k mod, please note the "CM_Tseriesdroid.txi" file and the "CM_Tseriesdroid.tga" file are included in both his and this derivative mod. (As the files are identical, you can allow the newer files to override the old ones.)

By the way, you can use this in Knights of the Old Republic 1 as well.  The texture's appearance and the files names are identical in both games so you shouldn't have any issue.

 

Uninstall:
---------------

Take it out again. ;)

If you are using still using Darth_Sapiens' T3M4 HD 2k mod and wish to continue to do so, please leave the "CM_Tseriesdroid.txi" file and the "CM_Tseriesdroid.tga" file in the Override folder.

 

Known Bugs:
---------------------

None known at this time.

 

Credits:
-------------
This mod would not have been possible with Darth_Sapiens' mod.

Thanks to Fair Strides for adding an alpha channel to these - and while I was on vacation no less!

If you like it, credit goes to those fine fellows. If you hate it, I'll shoulder that blame. ;)

 

Additional Thanks:
-------------------------------

 

Thanks to Revanator and Malkior for taking a look at this. Much appreciated.

Unfortunately your edited textures of T3 (by Darth Sapiens) have no Alpha channels, and consequently the astrodroids are bereft of their nice alloy sheen. So I wonder if you could get around to restoring those Alpha channels to the textures as it would be a great improvement.

P.S. I would have done it by myself, but for a reason that eludes me I wasn't able to open the original DDS texture of T3 made by Darth Sapiens (nor any other DDS textures made by the Darth, for that matter), which had frustrated my intention of transferring the alpha channel to your modified textures.

See description for update (more specifically, the Credits section).

Hmm... Based on Obi Wan Pere's screenshots, 3C-FD's browns seem very washed-out in this. And in the red emergency lighting aboard the Ebon Hawk in the prologue it ends up making him look less distinct from T3.
