Getting back in the swing of things after being gone a week on vacation. The street module is all walkmeshed, blocks cameras, has aurora lights, and a minimap. All that's left is the path file, which are still proving a bit finnicky. Most of those are dynamic things that are difficult to see in a screenshot, so I'll try to do a video in the next few weeks to showcase some of the improvements. Also I will try to add in NPCs and such before then. Next I will be switching gears, working on the Arena Hall/entrance area and attempting to setup some gladiator fights.

Late to the party here as usual, but WOW WOW WOW!!! It is looking so good. Cracking the lightmapping REALLY makes it feel like an original game asset. Amazing work. Love the variegated arenas, too.

Hi guys!!! I've decided start a new (which I think different of all I've seen) topic and I believe it can be interesting. In this, my next Playthrough with TSL, my intention is indicate the MODs I'm installing at each time of gameplay and, as far as possible, the results. It's basically for three main reasons. First, the combination of several MODs can help somebody to choose/confirm an election due some compatibility doubts or simply for a nice gameplay. Second, usually I install the MODs just before they're involved (although there is a large list of them that must be installed before start a Playthrough and others that the timeline/storyline is indifferent) and due the enormous quantity of MODs available, the Community can help me to choose my next MODs to install according with my storyline in the game, within a previous selection, compatibility issues, recomendations, warnings and opinions. All will be welcome. Third reason, because I like the idea. My choices are absolutly mine with no other consideration that enjoy and (a MUST) try to keep the compatibility along the game, so, please, let no one be offended if I use one MOD and not other. Anyway, several times my final choice change from one day to another. Of course this "in Real Time" (more or less) selection will not be a guarantee to finish succesfuly the game and/or see a MOD in all its grandeur due the complexity of a lot of MODs working together. It's a risk that I am prepared to run. And you? Anyway it can be funny. How can it be otherwise all the credits are for the authors of the MODs who deserve a very well recognized tribute. Well, finished my 'statement of intentions' I'll say that the Playthrough is based on TSLRCM 1.8.5 + M4-78EP ---------------------------------------------------------------- Let's start After a fresh installation of KotOR 2 - TSL and before start the Playthrough Order of Installation 01 - Patch 1.0b (I think that my recently recovered english version of TSL is the US version and the Patch 1.0a can't be applied. Anyway you can found all Patches and versions here at DS). 02 - HQ Movies Update Patch (all 6 parts) 1.0 By Sith Holocron (according to the description it must be installed before than TSLRCM) https://deadlystream.com/files/file/813-hq-movies-update-patch-all-6-parts/ Statement: I wanted install HQ Music Update Patch 1.0 By Sith Holocron but I realize too late I had to do it before install TSLRCM and obviously other MODs. I'm sorry. Next time. https://deadlystream.com/files/file/814-hq-music-update-patch/ 03 - TSL Restored Content Mod 1.8.5 By zbyl2 https://deadlystream.com/files/file/578-tsl-restored-content-mod/ 04 - M4-78 Enhancement Project 1.5 By zbyl2 https://deadlystream.com/files/file/277-m4-78-enhancement-project/ 05 - KOTOR 2 Community Patch 1.4 By A Future Pilot https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1280-kotor-2-community-patch/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- BTW!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't like NOTHING that now the Posts merge itselfs. In any case, give that option to the users would be nice enough. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (Ara ve quan el pengen) Well, this a combination of three MODs that reskin the interior of the Ebon Hawk and all of them are 'Drag and Drop' files. Some files coincide the name so you have to choose wich file you like. If someone is interested I can upload the list I made. 04a - hi-res Ebon Hawk By FF97 https://deadlystream.com/files/file/500-hi-res-ebon-hawk/?tab=comments 04b - The EbonHawk-HDTP R1 By desmasic https://deadlystream.com/files/file/442-the-ebonhawk-hdtp/?tab=comments#comment-6942 04c - Ebon Hawk Texture Enhancement 1.0 By Fallen Guardian https://deadlystream.com/files/file/282-ebon-hawk-texture-enhancement/ Statement: As I am still testing things and I'm still at the Prologue (no real Playthrough yet) with the damaged surrounds of the EH, I'll wait to install MODs in which I am very interested as 'KOTOR2 Animated Ebon Hawk Monitors (not including Galaxy Map) 1.1' by Sith Holocron and Xarwarz, or 'KOTOR2 More Subtle Animated Ebon Hawk Monitors (still not including Galaxy Map) 1.2' by Sith Holocron and Dark Hope (they are not complementary as I thought the first time). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE / Add-on about reskin of the Ebon Hawk. I've included some files of the MOD 'KOTOR2 Animated Ebon Hawk Monitors (not including Galaxy Map) 1.1' although I want to see the REAL effect with the Hawk repaired and, as all are Drag and Drop files MODs I still can change some things easyly. I don't want overload the thread with unnecessary screenshots so I'll wait until later to upload them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've made some adjustments at my combination of files. I've removed 'CM_Baremetal.tga', changed some files related with screens and added some '.txi' files that @ebmar uploaded some time ago (you can find them within the posts of https://deadlystream.com/files/file/442-the-ebonhawk-hdtp/?tab=comments#comment-6942). This is the result, the screenshots disminishes the effect, you'd HAVE to see it in game!!!!! ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 05 - Prologue sensor droids fix By danil-ch https://deadlystream.com/files/file/430-prologue-sensor-droids-fix/?tab=comments A funny MOD. I like a lot. 06 - Improved Peragus Asteroid Fields 1.2 By Vasilii Zaytsev https://deadlystream.com/files/file/321-improved-peragus-asteroid-fields/ 07 - [TSL] High Quality Starfields and Nebulas 1.3 By Kexikus https://deadlystream.com/files/file/492-tsl-high-quality-starfields-and-nebulas/?tab=comments Statement: I've found different files related with Peragus so I've installed both MODs 08 - Darth Sapien's Presents T3M4 HD 2k 1.00 By Darth_Sapiens https://deadlystream.com/files/file/514-darth-sapiens-presents-t3m4-hd-2k/?tab=comments Really a very nice, nice, nice work with T3-M4. Statement: I tried to combine it with 'Effixian's T3-M4 Blue & Red' By Effix but I couldn't. https://deadlystream.com/files/file/959-effixians-t3-m4-blue-red/?tab=comments 09 - TSL Improved Party Outfits 1.0.1 By Leilukin https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1012-tsl-improved-party-outfits/ Statement: The description says: "For the best experience with this mod, it's recommended to have a completely new TSL playthrough." So, here it is but for obvious reasons I can't see nothing yet. EDIT / Add on: A very useful and necessary improvement. 10 - Badass Bastila 1.0 By Medragor-des https://deadlystream.com/files/file/510-badass-bastila/?tab=comments What can I say? I fell in love with Bastila in the first KotOR and this a great work. 11 - Effixian's Alternative Female Underwear By Effix https://deadlystream.com/files/file/960-effixians-alternative-female-underwear/?tab=comments I had the alternative of 'Handmaiden-style Undies For Female PCs' By Shem https://deadlystream.com/files/file/730-handmaiden-style-undies-for-female-pcs/?tab=comments But I liked more the first. 12 - Custom Starting Feats 1.1 By rkr87 https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1419-custom-starting-feats/ A very good start of the game. 13 - Implant Feat Restoration 1.1 By N-DReW25 https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1047-implant-feat-restoration/?tab=comments Statement: The idea of to save precious Attributes Points destined to increase the Constitution only for wear powerful implants is just great. 14 - High-Level Force Powers 2.0 + Update By Stoffe https://deadlystream.com/files/file/832-high-level-force-powers/ Pending to see what can I do with my new Powers. -----------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------ Let's go to Coruscant!!!!!!!!!!! ----------------------------------------------- Order of installation. Installed when I was still at Telos ---------------------------------------------- - 74a Coruscant Jedi Temple By @deathdisco https://deadlystream.com/files/file/585-coruscant-jedi-temple-by-deathdisco/ - 74b Coruscant - Jedi Temple Compatibility 1.1 By @Hassat Hunter https://deadlystream.com/files/file/394-coruscant-jedi-temple-compatibility/ - 74c Jedi Temple Expansion (3.0) By @HK-42 NOTE: I'm sorry but long time ago I had this file (as the others related with Coruscant Deathdisco's MOD) and I don't know where I got it from. I see that the author is not active in DS. 74d - TSL Galaxy Map Fix Pack 1.0 By @bead-v @Sith Holocron and @Kexikus https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1057-tsl-galaxy-map-fix-pack/ - 75 Realistic Skybox for deathdisco's Coruscant 1.0.0 By @90SK @Sith Holocron and @deathdisco https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1277-realistic-skybox-for-deathdiscos-coruscant/ Statement: It's the second time that I've played Coruscant and is so great as I remembered. It still needs to correct some minor graphic glitches and some improvements would be welcome but they do not diminish the experience nor the story. --------------------------------------------------------------- - 76 - Master Class Robes v3 By @DarthTyren (Installed before reach Level 15 and talk with Kreia for to get the Master Class) https://deadlystream.com/files/file/517-master-class-robes/?tab=comments - 77 Jedi Master Robes Improved By @90SK https://deadlystream.com/files/file/658-jedi-master-robes-improved/?tab=comments - 78 Achilles TSL Robe Mod (TSLRCM Edition) By @Achilles https://deadlystream.com/files/file/339-achilles-tsl-robe-mod-tslrcm-edition/?tab=comments ---------------------------------------------------------

@A Future Pilot Last year I sent some possible changes to be added, were you able to implement the below changes (a lot are entirely subjective of course ) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Statistic Changes: HK's statistics: - I've changed HK's Strength from 16 to 10, as it's a useless attribute for him. I've then added what I've taken onto his Dexterity so it was originally 14 but now it is 20. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reward / Loot Changes: Upper Shadowlands Captain loot change: - He carries a Sith Tremor Sword but it doesn't drop, I have now changed this. Korriban Sith Torturer loot change: - He originally drops a green crystal, which made no sense, so I have changed this to red. Jedi Masters loot change: - The jedi corpse in the last module on Tatooine originally has a Jedi Master Robe and a Blaster Rifle, I've changed the Blaster Rifle to a Blue Lightsaber. Unknown World Footlocker credit swap: - In the Temple you get 5000 credits in one of the placeables, I believe this was a joke by the developers as it's not needed at that point. I've changed the credit drop to one of the Leviathan placeables instead. Manaan Republic Representative reward change: - In the vanilla reward script after you complete the main quest on Manaan you are provided with 500 credits, Cardio Power System and the line: g_w_sonicrfl003, which isn't an item template in the game. So I've changed it to the Arkanian Sonic Rifle's UTI (g_w_sonicrfl03). Yavin Merchant item change: - You can now buy the Advanced Agent Interface mask a lot earlier as it becomes obsolete later in the game. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My only comment would be that several mods use the tslpatcher to modify the Modules, Streamwaves, Sounds, VoiceOvers folders as well as the override folder, such as BOS:SR, K1R, LME, etc... Those mods (u have shown installing with KMI) are just override folder mods that are fairly easy to install, either unzip +copy and paste into override or unzip + run tslpatcher. Unzipping might be helpful, but other than that I'm not sure what the usefulness of your KMI installer will be, especially if the user is less involved in the process, which in my experience has lead to many user errors. (I could explain this point further if needed. ) I don't mean to rain on your parade, and I am not familiar with modding those games, nor am I familiar with those tools, so maybe I don't have the full picture of what that installer can do. Just to clarify, besides unzipping and sending to the override folder, do you plan on implementing anything else?

I played TSL first. You bought 'em, play 'em any order you wish. But prepared for folks to spoil you on K1 once you tell people you've finished TSL.

I've noticed that after I had turned on V-Sync in-game that the mouse sensitivity went up high enough to be bearable for me. If you turn it off, it might slow way down for you.

View File [K1] Saber Throw Knockdown Effect Description This mod adds a climactic Knock Down effect to a lightsaber throw (DC 5 + character level + WIS/CHA modifier against reflex save). Only Adv. Lightsaber Throw can knockdown its primary target; Normal lightsaber throw will NOT have this effect. (Which makes sense, “Advanced” implies more fancy effects) Installation Make sure override folder exists at game root directory Run TSLPatcher to install (Not recommended: if you really want to install manually, I’m sure you could figure out the procedure by looking at tslpatchdata/changes.ini file) Compatibility This mod shouldn’t cause any conflict. (It adds completely new function and modifies an existing line of spells.2da that no normal mod would touch.)

For anyone who stumbles on this thread(it is pretty high in google search results): For me it was annoying having to recast everything, so I wanted to do the same thing. This won't be an exhaustive tutorial, just the high-level steps. First, obviously you need the NWScript compiler. The code for the powers is in "k_inc_force.nss". Use kotortool to get it. Syntax is C-like, so you can use any C syntax highlighting you want. This is just an include file. The actual script called is listed in "spells.2da", impactscript column. This is what you will be compiling. After making all changes to code you want, put the base script, and all includes it calls in a folder and compile. The result should be a .ncs and .ndb files. You only need the .ncs file. Put the .ncs file in your Override. These instructions are valid for for all games. Including Kotor 1/2 and even Neverwinter Nights (apart from any filename differences). Misc note: Some force powers just apply poisons. Those are configurable in "poison.2da", not the script itself. Misc note 2: If you want to preserve balance, you can adjust cost in "spells.2da" and damage appropriately.

48 - K2TSLR - The Sith Lords Remastered WIP Alpha 1-1 By @sELFiNDUCEDcOMA https://deadlystream.com/files/file/300-k2tslr-the-sith-lords-remastered/?tab=comments I've found transparencies in the walls but keeping in mind that I had removed the 'CM_Baremetal.tga' file (due the shining in the Ebon Hawk), I've restored it and now runs perfectly. I'll see if I can live with this file when I be inside the Hawk or it becomes a "flying" file traveling once and again from the Override folder to the Backup folder and viceversa. Anyway, in my Playthrough, by now I'm far to see again the Ebon Hawk. I have to say that this MOD is really, really, really, pretty nice. Excelent work. You have the alternative of 'TSL ORIGINS - Telos Overhaul 1.1.1' By @Jorak Uln https://deadlystream.com/files/file/759-tsl-origins-telos-overhaul/ and others (as backdrops MODs) as 'Telos Citadel Station Skybox 1.0 by @Quanon https://deadlystream.com/files/file/311-telos-citadel-station-skybox-by-quanon/?tab=comments or 'JC's Citadel Station Backdrop 1.0' By @JCarter426 https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1217-jcs-citadel-station-backdrop/?tab=comments

@Sithspecter, why not add screen 1 to the Sleheyron mod, and add screen 2 to your Loadscreens in Color mod? That way, everyone is happy.

Sucks to be you then. The source is right there. If you are that paranoid (even after using something like VirusTotal), compile it yourself.

In the old days when mods used to be pumped out thick and fast my Override folder tended to become quite messy. These days I know exactly what mods are installed and in what order I installed them so I can track any incompatibilities. I have it all filed away in a little green book

I can recommend these... (This also works for TSL.)

Not likely. Equipping a lightsaber before you have been trained as a Jedi will break your game. Hardcoded issues IIRC.

So, you have disc version. Verify that the keys exist, and that their path is correct. If you need help finding that, let us know.

For Kotor One, I guess it would have to be Taris. The planet, in terms of modules, is so large and full of a vast array of NPCs to make it feel alive. All the characters on Taris were unique (even if you literally saw clones of them all over the place) due to their beautifully written story and VO acting. Every level you progress to is different just like how every character describes it as, from the rich Upper City, to the Poor and Crime Ridden Lower City and the frightening Under city. During my first play through, I felt almost exactly like the NPCs in the game feel in their levels: Upper City is a safe area to hang out in the shops and Duel Ring, the Lower City made you fear for your life as seemingly every corner had thugs ready to murder you and the Under city made me literally not want to leave the Village because I thought the Rakghouls were A: OP asf and B: I believed would get the Rakghoul disease. For Kotor Two: I'd have to put my money on Dantooine, whilst I wasn't as Naive back when I first played Kotor 1, I really felt the same atmosphere I felt with Taris but with Dantooine. The VO and writing cements the concept that this is a run-down, seen better days, poor, weak planet which has little to no law keeping the innocent Settlers and farmers safe from greedy Scavengers and blood thirsty Mercenaries, the plot of the planet is short yet still fun and interesting. Other planets like Onderon literally forces you to play both Dxun AND Onderon without any option of leaving before you finish your main quest WITHOUT Atton and once you do finish the quest you need to go back AGAIN to fight in the Battle of Onderon. Nar Shaddaa is slightly better but makes up for it with other minor flaws to ruin it, compared to other renditions of Nar Shaddaa in SW games this Nar Shaddaa is boring asf. When I do try to finish all of the bonus quest of Nar Shaddaa I ALWAYS get Attons bloody "We got this message on the Comlink. Looks like trouble" notification which blocks me from finishing any quests until you finish the planets main plot, here I usually just use the "warp" command to get to wherever I need to go just before I get that notification. Then you have Korriban, which is short and somewhat bland if you don't have M4-78 (Which just makes Korriban a necessary inconvenience just to get to M4-78). Fighting those Hississ' with that bland fighting music and those horrible sound sets, that noise will haunt my dreams.

Texture editing. Simultaneously the easiest and hardest modding. Doing simple markings on a robe is child's play. Making something look good in-game is harder than I ever enjoyed doing, but we all are unique and it might be your skills are suited for this. The link SH gave you is the perfect place to start. You will need a photo editor, I use Paint.NET but there are many other options. Then you'll need to extract textures from the game using KotOR Tool or however the kids do it these days (I still do all of this old school, because old dog no new tricks), then edit with PDN, PhotoShop, or perhaps the link provides a new tool. That will cover the basic texture modding. Then the stuff I know nothing about, comes from shaders and things you set up using the corresponding .2da, to make things nice. That's the blood and guts. Do your homework, it is easy to make simple edits to items and see your work in-game quickly. Be prepared for weirdness.

Here's a screenshot of the "king-of-the-hill" arena. The mound really dominates the center.

Assuming you stop yourself before you kill your dad for talking crap about your sister!

The cynicism sounds like Luke from TLJ talking here 😆 I'm enjoying the ride for the most part. To each their own!

Hello. Here.

I’m conflicted about this because I dislike JavaScript but this is amazing work! Great job @Blue!

Someone should tell the First Order when they put their GIGANTIC ship with 12 anti-fighter guns. 12! TLJ literally spawns plotholes out of thin air, and facepalms are inevitable. 12 man. TWELVE. Who DESIGNED that thing? Rogue One did something new, loved it. TLJ didn't do "new" as much as it just crapped all over Star Wars as we know it, and *literally* added in Earth at one point. Expectations where CREATED by TFA, actual plotpoints we expected resolution. If toying with their own setup we expected resolution to is "playing with everyone's expectations" I just call it what it is; Writing a story and then just throwing it away. Did you think KOTOR2 would be better if it went, oh well, KOTOR1 was all about Revan, now we're 5 years later... Bastila stabbed him, the end. Well, here's our new story, 18 hours of Malachor V slogfest would you also go "This is great!" Cause that's how it feels like. So... it's a good thing the guy the prophecies tell of for THOUSANDS of years is outclassed in every way 2 generations later by a nobody literally tenfold. Without any training. And that's... good? Why did they even prophecise the Skywalkers if within 2 generations their power was peanuts. They should have made a prophecy about the power of Rey. I would be fine with a new powerful Jedi out of thin air if it took like 4000 years after the original trilogy. Not when the original Skywalkers weren't even dead and literally made of Force, literally Jesus, and this girl just stamps all on Jesus. I don't think Jesus got surpassed these 2017 years right? Now imagine 40-50 years, and you got Rey. But tell me... what is left for IX. Why should I care about the next movie. Cause... I don't. The First Order only exist out of immature teennage rageboys who are about as threatening as an Ewok. Heck Ewoks are more treatening. It would be like the Empire run by Gungans. Yeah, that's scary right? On the other hand the Rebellion consists out of... well; Finn and Rose who are literally pointless after VII (Here's a prediction; In IX Finn runs, gets stopped and turns a hero. Cause we haven't seen that arch twice yet). Rey is literally the boring super woman who there is no interest to watch since she wont fail anyway, she can't. Such tension *yawn*. Leia dies offscreen. And I feel Poe literally should have died off in VII already to not cheapen Finn's arch. And he was kind of a pointless tool in VIII too. Only character making any progression in the 18h slogfest race, but a character I never liked throughout either. So... Chewie. Watch IX only for Chewie. Eeeeh... no? The ending here really felt like an ending. First Order is a joke. They all resolved what ridicilous plotpoints this movie had, everyone interesting is dead. What literally should IX tell? Doesn't feel like there's another movie left there from the non-existent plot left. All got killed. All that's left is facing Kylo. And that sounds terribly dull since he's a horrible antagonist. Lackey, okay. Antagonist... No, nope. Nuhu. No way. There is literally ZERO incentive to watch IX from this movie. Even if it didn't crush your Star Wars soul.

Well, let's throw in my voice... the voice of utter disappointment. When coming out of Rogue One, which I loved, I was having high hopes for a "new" Star Wars story, rather than the rehash VII was. To my disappointment, VIII butchers it completely and utterly. I'm not going into it point per point like you guys, I'll just stick to the major disappointments. That's all that comes to mind to me right now. Really really disappointing, and I doubt I'll watch IX in the cinema. My interest in Star Wars movies is just... gone. And that's a shame since Rogue One was FREAKING AWESOME.

Believe it or not there are still people in this galaxy who want to find out if certain mods are compatible with the k1 or tslrcm restoration mods. I am simply here to inform those who are lurking and want to find out if it is compatible and where to download.

Yeah I don't deny it, I was just remarking that his not-so-subtle approach in someone else's backyard wasn't rallying a lot of support to his cause. Not that I, of all people, should be lecturing others about subtlety.

They were updates for mod's screenshots. Before this some mods were missing their screenshots, so Mods/Admins doing some BTS stuff to make them back; hence the notification. Though some are doing actual update to their content, and one might look at the changelog to see what's going on with them.

Misread your original post.

So, I fixed my melee weapons problem: Turns out it was a conversion problem of sorts. When I wrote the code, I stuffed up the file header .mdl byte length entry correction. Essentially it didn't update at all, which I fixed, however, I had already exported a bunch of models. I decided to manually fix this for them. It just so happens that for the vibroswords, I got one of the entries wrong, it was 164999 instead of 16499. Funny thing is that this is actually important. I initially realised that I had stuffed up the correction of these entries when I realised certain models were not being rendered in-game. Oddly some were, however, I hadn't played long enough for these to cause a game crash. I found that out with the vibroswords later. So far it seems like it was only the vibroswords that were affected; all of them, as Toasty made a different style of model for each, and I opted to use the one style for all variants. So, they were all copies of the same model file with the bad entry. I think it won't be an issue for any of the rest, so, I should be able to release with updated models / textures for the sword melee weapons. However, on my numerous playtests of the Dxun Tomb to test for the above issue, I got very used to playing this part of the game so much so that I started to notice things I hadn't before. Like this issue with the fixed lightsaber models: So the problem is that particle effects -- those with blending mode additive -- are blending over the top (as it were) with the lightsabers particle effect -- the blades. I'll need to test some things, including seeing if this was an issue with the original saber models. But hopefully I can fix this or at least modify some of the particle effects (that use dark textures) so that this won't be an issue -- though, there will likely be a trade off. I also need to load and check each area of the game, as I found I had some left over temp textures used for finding out how certain textures were being used in areas: Can't release a mod with such a glaring oversight. Not sure what this means for time-frame...
