It's entirely possible. Especially because Obsidian already made provision for it. There's an animation to hide the roof tile and there's a fake sky behind it: It just needs to be triggered via a script. I'm surprised TSLRCM doesn't already do it. Edit: Ah, I see what it is. The roof tile mesh isn't under the A node in the room model, so the animation doesn't apply. It's actually already scripted and seemingly unchanged in TSLRCM: https://github.com/KOTORCommunityPatches/Vanilla_KOTOR_Script_Source/blob/master/TSL/Vanilla/Modules/232TEL_Telos_Underground_Base/a_shuttle.nss Extract this into your Override folder. Should fix the issue, although note you'll have to load a save before the above script fires. 232tel14.zip

Could we have some different mods on the Download page listed for the Featured Download section? It might be refreshing to have something more recent than 2018 in there. (Most of the mods in that section are even older.)

Presumably the actual Tulak Hord mask:

How was that problem solved for ROR?

Somewhat to my surprise, it actually doesn't seem too bad without it. No gap needing to be filled, which makes things easy. Try this and see how it looks in-game: K1_PFHA01_No_Bangs.zip

For reasons I can't explain, ever since I played TSL for the first time far longer ago than I care to admit, I've always wanted to have the interior doors in the Ebon Hawk in the first game. I noticed nobody else had added this feature in as of yet, so I decided to take a crack at doing it myself: All of the doors are added in and working, but obviously once they've opened, they stay that way. This feels like it makes the mod a bit pointless, so I'm currently working on a way to have each door automatically close once you move a certain distance away from it. I originally planned to use an OnHeartbeat script attached to each door to close it once you move a certain distance away, but it didn’t come out as well as I’d hoped: It’s a bit janky and doesn’t always seem to work as intended, so I’m not sold on this method. I did try using a trigger instead, having the doors open/close using the OnEnter and OnExit scripts instead and it’s a LOT smoother, so I think I’m gonna switch to that. Setting all those triggers isn’t going to be the quickest process in the world though so… that’ll be fun! As you can see, since the doors were originally intended to only be seen from one side in TSL, so once you pass through, you can see some of the door geometry poking out the wall on the other side. I'm not too bothered with that though, since it's unlikely anyone is going to be stopping and turning around to look up every time they walk through a door. I did show it at the end off the video though, just as a point of interest. I’ll hopefully get all of the triggers set tomorrow, give it a thorough test and then maybe put up a new test video before I create an installer and package it up for release.

The mod has been updated: Armor 9 HD isn't updated. I used the belt from this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/1770 I didn't get permission to publish it. I wanted to update the duros texture, but didn't get detran's permission. Boots have been updated.

I know this, I know what I'm looking at here. This isn't TSLRCM, this is the bootleg Malachor VI mod that a Russian modder made. Where did you download your mods from? You're playing a Russian mod that has not been translated for English users and is practically unknown to us. If you are using the mod that I am thinking of, then there are problems with it that prevents any translation work into English from being done. 1) It contains Visas audio files from the Ravager for Malachor of her dying. I suspect it's for if Visas dies on Malachor, but since the Russian modder named these files something like "907visassex.mp3" the other prominent modders I have shown this mod to assume the Russian modder added a sex scene to the mod and so refuse to probe into the mod any further. 2) The Russian modder I speak of has been missing since the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022, it is very much possible that the maker of this mod perished during the initial invasion of Ukraine and thus he can neither help us or give us permission to modify his mod.

All that drip just to give you this Damage Resistance: Resist 10/- vs. Fire Skills: Stealth +2 It's a shame such a baller mask has the Kotor ingame stat equivalent of slightly increasing resistance to spicy food

Since people have asked about it, here's the TSL files for the masks in the screenshots. Not sure if that's everything, I haven't looked at it for around 7 years apparently. https://www.darthparametric.com/files/kotor/tsl/[TSL]_TOR_Ports_Masks_WIP_Test.7z

I'm working an an alternative solution that should be easier to modify and doesn't have some of the minor visual glitches that exist. I will update the page when it's released.

Please see the official GitHub repo to get support and find updates: https://github.com/OldRepublicDevs/NCSDecomp NCSDecomp - Turn Your Compiled KOTOR Scripts Back Into Readable Code! Ever wanted to see what's inside those compiled .ncs script files from KOTOR? Or maybe you found a mod with scripts you want to understand or modify? NCSDecomp can take those compiled script files and turn them back into readable source code that you can actually understand and edit! What does it do? Simply put, NCSDecomp converts compiled KOTOR scripts (.ncs files) back into source code (.nss files). It's like having a translator that converts the game's internal script format back into human-readable code. Works with both KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2! How to use: There are two ways to use NCSDecomp - a simple graphical program (GUI) or command-line tools. Most users will want the GUI version! Option 1: The Easy Way (GUI - Recommended!) 1. Download the NCSDecomp folder 2. Double-click NCSDecomp.exe (Windows) or NCSDecomp.app (Mac) 3. That's it! No Java installation needed - everything is included! Once it opens: Drag and drop any .ncs file onto the window to decompile it Or use File → Open to browse for files The decompiled code will appear with syntax highlighting (color-coded keywords, functions, etc.) You can edit the code right there if you want Press Ctrl+S (or Cmd+S on Mac) to save your changes Open multiple files at once - each gets its own tab The program supports both KOTOR 1 and 2 (configurable in the settings) and attempts to unify most nwnnsscomp.exe variants, but has mainly been tested with kotorscript and ktool's variants. Option 2: Command Line (For Advanced Users) If you prefer using the command line or want to automate tasks: Windows: .\NCSDecompCLI.exe -i "script.ncs" -o "script.nss" --k2 Mac/Linux: ./NCSDecompCLI -i "script.ncs" -o "script.nss" --k2 This reads script.ncs and creates script.nss with the decompiled code. Use --k1 for KOTOR 1 scripts, or --k2 for KOTOR 2 scripts. Decompile an entire folder: .\NCSDecompCLI.exe -i "scripts_folder" -r --k2 -O "output_folder" This processes all .ncs files in the folder (including subfolders) and saves the results to your output folder. Features: Works with both KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2/TSL scripts Beautiful graphical interface with syntax highlighting Edit decompiled scripts and compile them back Round-trip verification - see if your edited code compiles correctly Batch process entire folders of scripts at once View bytecode if you're curious about the low-level details Self-contained - no Java installation needed! Cross-platform - works on Windows, Mac, and Linux What can you do with it? Decompile .ncs files to see the original source code Understand how game scripts work Edit scripts and recompile them for mods Analyze scripts from your favorite mods Batch process entire script folders quickly Troubleshooting: "Error: nwscript file not found" Make sure you haven't deleted or moved the tools folder that came with the download The program should find everything automatically, but if you get this error, check that the tools folder is in the same directory as the executable "Program won't start" (Windows) Windows might be blocking it. Right-click NCSDecomp.exe → Properties → Check "Unblock" → Apply Try running as Administrator if you get permission errors "Program won't start" (Mac) You may need to allow the app in System Preferences → Security & Privacy Right-click the app and select "Open" the first time "Program won't start" (Linux) Make sure the executable has permission to run: Make sure the executable has permission to run: chmod +x NCSDecompCLI/NCSDecompCLI For more help: Run .\NCSDecompCLI.exe --help (Windows) or ./NCSDecompCLI --help (Mac/Linux) to see all available options Check the included README files for detailed documentation Source code and more info: https://github.com/bolabaden https://bolabaden.org Credits: Original Developers (The Foundation): JdNoa - Created the original script decompiler engine Dashus - Created the original GUI These developers did the hard foundational work that made this tool possible. The original DeNCS was an internal tool used by TSLRP (The Sith Lords Restoration Project) and was released to the public "as is" with no warranty. Current Maintainer: th3w1zard1 - Complete rewrite and modernization This version represents a near-complete rewrite and modernization of the original DeNCS tool. While based on the original developers' foundational work, the current version has been extensively revamped with a new GUI, modernized codebase, cross-platform support, and many new features. The core decompilation concepts from the original work remain, but the implementation has been significantly rewritten for modern development practices.

I was thinking of something like pulling modules and textured game models into Blender and then rig and animate them from scratch. Hell, making these things from scratch may be the only option. After all these years, AI upscaled scenes can't be the only option. If there's some folks out there that want to work on this too, please contact me. Otherwise, I'm fully prepared to tackle this myself. I have. I just don't care for them. I don't think they fit the mise en scene of the original Star Wars films, which KOTOR draws heavy inspiration from, and that of the first game itself. It's too polished, too flashy. I don't believe they integrate with the base game very well. I want something that stays truer to the intent of the original game.

KOTOR 1 has essentially two types of level scaling: 1. Spawning more and/or different NPCs. This may be done either through a script or through an encounter object. 2. Buffing NPCs when they are spawned. This may be done either in an individual script or with the global script k_def_buff. With the first, I would expect the change in stats to feel consistent regardless of PC level. With the second, you will experience diminishing returns at higher PC levels because enemies will be getting the same flat bonus added to a higher base stat.

hey, ya'll. I just wanted to pop in and say i'm still alive and still planning on finishing my companion complexions mod. the holidays had some unforseen stuff but, we ball. update should be out in the next week or two. i'm still cooking just bear with me. Visas cooking preview 1.5 (and Visas) is out now also, working on a new player head mod - 2/10000 heads done so far. wish me luck T-T and thanks for all the support so far

yes, i started this model years ago, at first it could only do sci-fi walls, then i have expanded upon it again and again. it is far from perfect, i often have to layer many images over each other, erase, save again. this is months of work usually. though i do get faster and faster at it after each mod, i have also retextured Morrowind, Jedi Knight 2, Thief 2, Gothic 2. The model does feel outdated by today's standards but at one point it was better than anything out there for doing this type of thing, though for faces it has never been great so i do not use it for that i use something else. At some point were are going to be able to use AI retextures as easy as we can use upscales.we can sit back and it will take a few minutes max instead of months, and likely that will get us an even better result than this. It's advancing every week. It's funny when you see people referring to the mod as an "upscale" haha. I wish... then the mod would have been made in under 5 minutes....

You can check the SWTOR Slicers wiki and Discord server for info about getting the TOR assets into Blender, baking tints into textures, etc. - https://github.com/SWTOR-Slicers/WikiPedia/wiki After that, it's not any different to porting any other 3rd party asset into KOTOR. For things like completely new creatures, you could conceivably import them with their original TOR rig and try to use their original TOR animations. Although TOR's animation system is very different, so you'd have to do a lot of custom merging/blending to get what KOTOR needs.

It's an invisible placeable template. By dumping it in the Override, it will overwrite any placeable in a module with the same ResRef (filename) that uses a locally modified version. This is why Override dumps are lazy and bad practice for module files. You may well need to cut out that and anything else that dumps a bunch of random stuff in the Override. That would mean starting over with a fresh game though, since appearances, quests states, etc. are stored in your save.

So... how are we all feeling about the Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic announcement? Methinks they're using it as a testing ground for the reception to the potential remakes.

Sometimes in modding, things don't go as planned. Here are two examples of what might had been if circumstances were different. 1. The Lost BOSSR Skybox In a flashback scene that you as the player aren't just a witness but also an active participant, you fight the previous Mandalore on his capital ship. In the background through the bridge windows, there's a battle raging. On one side, there's the Republic Fleet. On the other side, the mighty Mandalorian fleet which as it currently stands in the game looks like this. This is my upscaled version from my mod but you get the idea. When I was putting that mod together, I had a different vision for the Mandalorian Fleet element of the skybox. One that didn't look so blocky. One that looked more photo realistic. Something like this. Some of the creators of those ships I was unable to reach and I didn't feel like I could publish a mod without getting all of the permissions set up. So the fleet in this form had to go to the cutting floor. Here's what it would've looked like in action by the way. 2. The Lost TJM Skybox On the distant planet of Etti IV (a reskinned version of Nar Shaddaa), the player does . . . something? I'll be honest - I didn't play through this part of the game except to test textures for my uspcale mod for Trex's The Jedi Masters. Now in the game, there is a skybox. It's a strange one though as it's only one side of the box and it shows it on an angle. In the final version of the mod, I had to match the distance and the angle that Trex had taken to get his shot of the skybox to properly replicate it. (I did wind up making some distance adjustments anyway but you can see where I'm going with this.) However, this wasn't always the plan. You see, I had a faulty installation of TJM on my computer. If the game is correctly installed, there's a large duplication of the surrounding walls where the skybox should be on Nar Shaddaa. The skybox seen in the above picture is only there to fit in any areas where you can see through that area model duplication. But I didn't see that model duplication unfortunately. So I though I had a wide canvas to use. So I upscaled the vanilla Nar Shaddaa texture and added some brutalist architecture on top of it - and it looked like this. This skybox was in the mod so long that it actually made it into some of the WIP trailers I've made. Here's one of those WIP trailers that feature that discarded skybox - along with a crate with shipping labels that I'm apparently very fond of. But as you can't really see any of it with the model duplication in the way, I went with the original design.

Hi there! I've seen this topic quite recently, and i got in touch with Brents as i was working myself on the Jedi Enclave module for K1. I'll be sharing my ressources for my own mod to Brents Im not saying everything displayed here will make its way through, and i'm not making any promises instead of the author himself. Just saying i'm willing to give a hand, we did not settle on anything concrete yet and i wanted to showcase a bit of my own work without opening another thread. As there is a placeable limit in K1, everything you see in the video i'm linking is added into the module models themselves. I reused assets from K2 (Khoonda assets, Peragus kolto tank, Placeables...). The extracted placeables are not lightmapped yet, and i was wondering if it would cause troubles in the long run? There is also the sunlight from K1 Dantooine appearing in the main hall/garden.

The textures weren't a fix. The pink was intentional to see if that shows up in the line. A different colour might have been better. As to the model, whoops, forgot to enable the headlink. This should be fixed: <removed> Edit: It doesn't warrant a formal DS release, since this is not a universal problem, but if anyone else needs it, you can find it here - https://github.com/DarthParametric/TSL_Atton_Head_Black_Line_UV_Tweak/releases/latest
