A small informal update on restoring Carth's cut dialog after Taris crash and the Enclave Sublevel modeling. Carth's dialog restoration, and post pod crash revisions Enclave sublevel modeling I can't wait to add proper content to the sublevel, i'm really proud of the near final result

I will do and post my work whenever possible. There is a new addition to the family. I have much less time now. I can't say anything about kotor 2.

First, thank you for your interest over the mod N-DreW! I explained it a bit but im gonna try to be clearer here. As an end user myself, the process of installing thousand separate mods is very tedious, and only the most persevering players out there do it. It also requires each time to have a compatibility patch for the hundreds of mods out there, which make it even more tedious (also regarding the installing order). As i said, what it will lack in modularity (having things separated into hundred pieces), it will gain in install ease. Also, as i said, this is only "my take" on what i think is good, which is very subjective. Not saying that it inherently "is" good. Having everything into a single pack ensures that my vision about the game design and the mod philosophy is cohesive from start to finish. I totally understand that people may disagree on a lot of changes brought by my mod, but once again, this is only "my take" on this. That being said... I said i'd be hopefully releasing my content as modder's ressource, and my mod will be entirely free to edit. So if anyone out there do want to separate the content into smaller pieces, especially regarding the quality of life content (such as model repairs), they will be free to do so and i don't see any problem with this. Honestly this project is already so big that separating everything into little chunk would take me twice the time, and i'd like to hopefully finish this before the next century 😅 This is a disclaimer. I know there are K2 lovers out there. I'm not one of them, and i do not care that much about K2's lore and story to be honest. I am just being completely transparent about it, so hopefully people out here won't come to me and say : "Hey! This is not lore accurate with K2!" because honestly, i do not bother that much So specifically about force powers and feats: Once again, its only my take and my vision on all of this. I am trying to improve Kotor's sandbox as best as i can, and as i said i'm gathering most of the possible feats and force powers that can be done and implemented into K1 (which include K2 force powers and community's ideas). I am not trying to appeal or adapt to most people out there (and it would be an error to do so), because anyone has its takes and ideas. I cannot appeal to everyone, i cannot fit into everyone's expectation. People also have to realize this, and that its only an amateur work, something i am first doing for myself and not for the others. But once again, if someone wants to extract portion of my mods to release smaller or edited portion of it, they are free to do so Also, while we are on force powers and feats... Enemies are able to use them. So can you imagine? I'd have to edit separately EVERY npc sheet from the game to implement the feats? Then do the same for force powers? Items? I have neither the courage, nor the time. I am a single dude out there, an amateur afterall. I get what you mean tho and at the moment regarding my workflow, my work is separated to help me fix or add the things i need to work on (so, i've got the companions in a folder, the feats and force powers in another one, the items, the planet content...). As i said, i'd love to share this work and to have proper feedback, hence why i'll be releasing alpha/beta builds down the line with a proper discord server to gather feedback. Unfortunately, if something does not appeal to someone, then they can install something else. As i said, i'm not here to appeal to most people, or make my work fit their expectations. I am doing this project for myself first But as i said, if someone wants to separate the work into smaller piece, they can. So this is pretty simple. In K1, it is not possible to create new spellcaster classes because custom spellcaster classes do not gain any force power points (hence why the jedi companions will keep their default classes), BUT we can definitely add new non jedi classes. All of this process is done editing the Classes.2da file most notably, but there are definitely some limitations. I can edit freely: The amount of HP per level, the attack bonus table/saving throwtable (because, it uses a separate .2da file that basically specify how much attack bonus you get at a specified level) and the amount of skill points gained, if you get or not the effects from leveling up at each level (feats, skills...). There is a limitation regarding: Classes defense bonus, feat table, skill table, spellgain table and featgain, as there is a limitation in the number of classes (8 max). So with all of this in mind, we can already make pretty nice variations over the base classes. For instance, my new "Pilot" class for Carth uses everything from soldier, but he gets an additionnal skill point per level and has access to the scout skills. My new "Mandalorian" class for Canderous make him gain extra attack bonus per level, so instead of 1 per level (20 max), he now gets 1.25 attack per level (25 max). Aside from this, i've performed some unique feats to distinguish them even more. These new feats are directly tied to the companions character sheet, so it does not affect anyone else in game. Most of the time, the effects are performed editing the hide item. So, for instance, Carth now has a +2 attack bonus against dark sided characters, Canderous is immuned to fear, Juhani now has +10 Awareness and is immuned to sneak attacks instead of the force camouflage, Jolee gets an extra force point regeneration... Some other feats are performed editing various scripts. The heartbeat has been edited to provide a "Wookie rage" feat for big Z. When he falls below 25% vp, he is now immuned to fear and get attack bonus, strength bonus, while it depletes its defense, reflex and will. Having unique class and feats for each companion allows now to have specific item for each of them. So, for instance, the flight armor suits from K2 will hopefully be restricted to Carth! Some new implants will be restricted to Canderous! And so so much more... I'm linking some screenshots in a spoiler down below for a very small showcase, tho i'd like to separate this topic's displays into separate pieces. Everything is subject to change of course! New appearances include A LOT of K2's assets. So you can see some heavy sith soldiers (i've recently done the female variant thanks to your assets), sith honor guards for the Leviathan bridge, the (controversial!) death troopers, new child chromas/clothes, A LOT of commoner clothes variants that you can find here on deadlystream, some variants for jedi outfits (and one general robe retexture from Insidious mod), gamorrean variants (but they need to be edited), gran reskin that i released aswell, some twilek chromas, some rescaled creatures like the kinrath hive and the ritual beast terantatek, protocol droid variants, war droid variants (to dinstinguish MK1, 2, 3...) ... Anyway. This is but a taste of what's to come! At the moment only AI, but i definitely wish to hire some voice actors! I am writing the dialogs on the top of my head while im working on it, which does not make the process very easy to work with people. I tried to contact the mod uploader but i didnt have answer yet. But yep of course, if something reach the quality bar to be introduced into some mod, i'm very opened to sharing the ressources. So i've shared a bit about the appearances, i'll be sharing about the items in due time. I'd like this topic to be structured and ordered. Once i'll be ready to share more about it, i'll do it So this is not a secret at all, if anyone get inspired by the ideas its ok for me. Taris Back Alley: As you may know, there is an elevator access in lower city apartments. In vanilla, it leads nowhere and K1R used this to access the Swoop platform. I figured this elevator would be a good access to a module about Black Market, drug dealing and illegal street/free fights. To access this module, you'd need a proper "password" of some sort. There'd definitely be a Chandrafan linked to this in the cantina. This would act as an inverted mirror of the upper town, especially regarding the non lethal fights from the upper city cantina. A module filled with aliens that dislike humans, where you'd be able to get some spice (from the vulkar spice lab!), some exclusive shop with poison weapons, disruptors or other illegal stuff, and you could also participate into street fighting. Each fight would have its specific rules (so, maybe you're fighting bare knuckle, another time you face 2 or 3 opponents...) and one of the idea would be that the people watching the fight could randomly throw items such as weapons in the middle to spice things up. You could start a quest about smuggling (much like the quest in TSL on Telos) and one idea i had was to make use of the sith fighters near the sith base, the shady guy could have some kind of sith contact that could get past the sith blockade, so you'd need to put a package into one of the sith fighters. The idea is to make use of unused areas, create new stories and interactions, new content and make the lower city way more believable as a place. Black Vulkar Spice Lab: Here my aim would be very much like K1R, restore this portion to extend the vulkar base. Nothing more, nothing less. I'd like to revise the model from the spice room to make it feel like a proper drug lab! One thing i thought about is maybe depending on what you do here, it has an impact on drug dealing once you reach other planets such as Tatooine. Jedi Enclave Sublevel: The jedi enclave on Dantooine feels ultra small and claustrophobic. This is supposed to be an academy, yet the area lacks life and space. There is no padawan, you don't even see the republic... Having a republic ambassy can lead to pretty nice interactions. One major thing i'd like to do with my mod, is to have a kind of raising stake toward the end of the game, where your choices impact the star forge section (just like in Mass Effect or DAO). So some concepts would be maybe to turn some material to the republic (grenades, weapons, medpacks... Just like in DAO), to the jedis (sith or jedi artifacts?), have a proper plot regarding the kolto on manaan (very much like brents envisaged it), the library could provide informations about the kinrath and kath hounds (a new way to introduce informations to players, as i'll be revising how they work and their behaviours), there could be Juhani's master in the medical area aswell, the oil bath could serve as a fix for the permanent effects bug (while also providing a small temporary buff to reflex maybe), i'd love to bring M4-78 as a playabe planet aswell, and the galaxy map in the sublevel could be a good place for this... Just like obi wan with kamino, some planet that should be there but that is not in any archive. The overall idea is to make Dantooine more believable as a place, and have more impact on the player once this planet is completely lost. One thing i envisaged was to have a character fleeing to Manaan, and maybe you could witness Dantooine's destruction as a flashback by playing it. Once again, mostly concepts but nothing concrete done. Kashyyk's shadowland cut module: The wookie society is not really that much defined in K1. Maybe this could be a good "hunting" ground for young wookies, with some K2 beasts. It could also be entirely used for the ritual beast encounter and make it something more memorable. Maybe there could be a crystal somewhere? Here i do not have very precise ideas in mind. Dantooine crystal cave: Firstly, using the extended crystal cave from K2 allow to port the vanilla crystal cave from K1 to korriban. As i want to revise crystals aswell, it makes a new place to loot them while still retaining some kind of variety. The mandalorians on the planet could also dig this place to smuggle some crystals? Who knows! Having a crystal cave on Korriban would also allow to have some laigreks in there, to act as a mirror to Dantooine's crystal cave, with some fire dealing creatures! Tatooine's cut temple: Here i'd love to have more lore about the builders and stuff. Why not having a section with some crystals aswell? Not very precise ideas there aswell, but the star map would definitely be in there. Ye i getya. The line can be crossed easily when adding new content and interactions. Once again, it's only my take on all of this, i cannot make a separate install for every interaction, new appearance and so on if i want to finish this project before the next century. But ye, if someone wants to dissect this mod, they are free to do it once again. It'll definitely be easier to cut the mod once it'll be done, than cutting everything into very small parts from the start. If you want to use my bardroid model, texture, voicelines, dialogs and git edition for cameras, you can I didnt know about this, but atm gonna be honest i have so much to do already on Taris that its not in my plan at all. So i'd say "maybe"? But clearly not working on something like this at the moment Thanks for the kind words! I hope i properly answered your questions/concerns Appearances showcase

Here me out here, would it be possible to release the mod as updates or separate mods? You might be familiar with my own NPC Overhaul Series, the NPC Diversity Pack was lackluster when it came out and it's been updated over the years to include new content. Mods like Hearts of Beskar are part of the series but are separate incase people do not want, or cannot use, said mods but still want an NPC Overhaul via the Diversity Pack. The K1 Alien Pack isn't done, far from it, and all the aliens are added via separate installs meaning you can add Devaronians to your game without the Bith and you can add Quarren later when they're added for example. Would you be willing to tell us why this is important? Because I've ported Sith Commandos to Kotor I before, and the inclusion of Sith Commandos in Kotor I doesn't really negate Kotor II. I know you've ported a lot of Kotor II assets into Kotor I, and things like adding Devaronians or Mining Droids into Kotor I wouldn't hurt Kotor II. In the words of the famous Calo Nord: "Smart." Now this is what I mean when I suggest releasing these as separate mods. Having one big Frankenstein of a mod pack is bound to cause issues down the line with other Force Power and Feat mods, and not to mention that if players don't like the feats or powers you add they might just not play the mod, thus missing out on all your added content in-game because they didn't want the powers. Now if the mod was divided into multiple mods, you'd obviously play with all your separate mods together as that is the original intent but others might choose to not use your Feat and Force Power mod, or they might only play with your Feat and Force Power mod. Ultimately, separating your mods will be better because let's say if there is a bug with one of your Force Powers you'd only have to worry about your one Feat and Force Power mod instead of worrying about updating your big mega mod. What I'm saying here isn't your fault by any means, but I know there is at least one player who is boycotting the K1CP mod because of the Sentinel and Consular Class Skill Swap fix included in that mod. Petty, very much so... but if you have your class revisions as a standalone mod you won't have to deal with people downvoting your mod and writing entire essays as to why your changes to the classes are wrong (as is what happened with the K1CP). Can you explain how this works in-game? I thought classes were hard-coded. Care to show us some of these appearances? You mentioned "voice lines". Will these be voiced by an actor or by an AI? I obviously don't care about AI as I used AI to add voices for the generic background characters in the Revenge of Revan mod, but other players definitely do care about AI. Much like the guy who boycotts the K1CP because of the Sentinel and Consular Class Skill Swap fix, players might just avoid your mod if it uses AI. Again, if you were to divide your mod into multiple smaller mods that means the Anti-AI crowd would only avoid the one mod that uses AI whilst they might still use your previously mentioned Feat and Force Power mod and Class revisions mod for example. Will you be uploaded these fixes as standalone fix mods or donate them to the K1CP? I know many players play Kotor I and II with just the restored content mods and bug fix mods so these would definitely be valued as standalone mods without Feats, Force Powers, 100 new appearances, and possible AI voice lines. So what you're saying is that you took Kotor II placeables and "combined" them with the Kotor I modules, this is how you added the Oil Bath in the screenshot you provided without adding a new placeable, right? I would love to see this in-action! I would like to see what you have made here. I would like to hear some of your plans for these modules, and if you aren't wiling to reveal your plans in private then feel free to message me privately. I would like to see what you're doing for the restored Black Vulkar Base, my RC-K1CP mod will restore it at some point but as an optional install so our two mods may just be compatible with one another. I know there was another team working on the Enclave Sublevel, is this a separate project or are you collaborating with, or taking over, the work they did previously? I believe I donated a texture to that project too. I am curious as to how you plan to expand the Dantooine Crystal Cave, it logically makes sense that the cave is small in Kotor I but by the time of Kotor II the Militia bombed the original entrance and so the Kinrath dug out a larger cave system into the Khoonda plains. Are you just going to add new Kinrath enemies/lightsaber crystals, or is this where your disregard for Kotor II comes into play? I believe you've shown some of these off already on YouTube, and just like I've been saying I think separation of the mod into smaller mods, or at least different optional installs like what I did for my K1 Alien Pack might be for the best here. I do recall you added a Kotor II inspired cutscene in the Cantina where a bartender droid shows off the Upper City Cantina, this I felt was a work of art and I would 100% use it... should it be standalone from the other two examples I'm about to list. You added a female Sith Guard to the Sith Base on Taris, and even if she's voiced by an AI or an actor I felt the inclusion of her would be subjective. Some players might like the encounter, others might not. I 100% would use the Protocol Droid scene in the Cantina but might not be so keen on this cutscene. One cutscene I am not keen on is your enhanced Undercity Patrol. I believe you added a parody of the "Death Troopers" from the movie Rogue One with audio ported from Star Wars Battlefront II, unless I am mistaken. You've said that you joined the Kotor Modding Community last year, that's fine - but when I joined the Community almost 10 years ago I joined during the time when porting between Kotor I and II was a bannable offense. I think either TSLRCM or M4-78EP was removed from this site at one point because the end credits included the theme "The Old Republic" from Kotor I in its ending credits. Fun fact: I believe before the ban was lifted in 2018 the Administrators uploaded a blatantly obvious port of audio from Kotor I to Kotor II to see if people would even notice, well I noticed and I pointed it out. I guess you could say my logic in pointing it out back then was "If I can't port, you can't port". Thankfully, porting has been allowed for some time now and it's made the Kotor Modding Community so much more interesting with the mods we're now making. But as someone who made mods during a time when you couldn't port between Kotor I and II, can you understand why I'd be uncomfortable to play a mod that ports audio from Star Wars Battlefront II into Kotor I? Again, I'd happily use your Protocol Droid in the Upper City and probably many of your appearances too, but the Death Trooper is one that I would skip out on... though on the flip side someone might happily use the Death Trooper and skip the Protocol Droid in the Upper City. Regardless of what you might think of my opinion on the Sith Guard and Death Trooper, should you ever release the Protocol Droid in the Upper City, regardless if its standalone or part of a massive mega mod, would you be willing to make a compatibility patch with my RC-K1CP mod which restores the original Protocol Droid bartender to the Upper City Cantina? This is going to sound really dumb after everything I've said but do you think you can add the Taris Middle City into Kotor I? If you're using AI then dialogue and voices for already existing characters and new characters won't be a problem and, through model editing work, you seem to have the competency to make new and unique modules for a hypothetical Middle City section for Taris. But I understand if you don't want to. That'll be good! Also very good, don't make promises - the mod comes when it appears on the site out of the blue. I mean... maybe if you do go with the 'Frankstein Mega Mod' route I might be able to separate things that I like for you. Despite my criticisms with a few things, the standalone assets you've made thus far are fantastic!

The awakening is very nice. How did you create the eye opening blurred effect?

Let me dive into this today then How editing feats and force powers is possible New feats showcase So, some feats have either the same ideas as TamerBill or are exactly the same. Why can't I simply add my own feats on top of TamerBill's mod would you ask? And that's a great question. Well, firstly, i'd say around 30% of TamerBill's feat are either not working at all, not working as intended or have a wrong description. Secondly, some other feats make use of the hide slot from the characters (which i'm using for numerous other things). Thirdly, his mod edits the crucial scripts i spoke about earlier (k_ai_master, k_sup_grenades and so on), so it is not really possible to make anything compatible (hence why i'm trying to put as much content as possible within a single install!). Finally, numerous feats or force powers are not in line with my vision for the game. BUT there were GREAT ideas and concepts in there, so i'll be reusing some of them or tweaking some others! I'm using my own icons tho, just to make sure i do not "steal" any of TamerBill's original work. Jedi feats showcase: There are new exclusive feats for each class btw. Droid feats: In another message i'll showcase the companions unique feats, the class changes and also the force powers (A lot to cover as you can tell!). As you can see, everything is kinda intertwined depending on items, companions rebalances, class rebalances, force powers... Hence why i'm doing a single install for all this. That's A LOT of math, so there'll be be balancing issues for sure. I can't wait to open this to players so they can give proper feedback. I cannot wait to see the builds people will pull out aswell, because the variety is going to be WAYYYY better than vanilla! Well, this is one of the few drawbacks from modding. Some people take things for granted, or feel they "deserve" something. I'm doing this for free, entirely on my spare time, and for my own pleasure first. I can totally take people's feedback, and it's vital to have someone's opinion about your own work, because as a single worker on this, you can miss out on something. I do have "Spiceman" on discord, someone that follows my work nearly from the start and we're discussing A LOT about this project. His insights and feedbacks have been very valuable, huge thanks to him. Anyway, all that i mean is that i enjoy feedback, but people have to understand that's its only a fan made mod bearing its own vision and wishes. If they're not happy with this, i think they will survive lmao and i will survive mean comments too The credit list is updated! I meant their skin colors. So i've showcased the turquoise and brownish variants up there! I'll have more to showcase later like bib surool For sure! If you want to, we can talk about this and the type of content that could be included in there Nothing very precise in mind at the moment, but i've already started fixing the module. The only thing remaining now is the lighting and 2 holes. I should be able to fix a portion from the lighting reusing some assets from Kashyyk and Korriban that have the same geometry. Well i'll at least try this out someday for sure! I don't have that much at the moment, i've showcased most of them up there. But i'll do more of them for sure. As i said, i'm willing to share anything so if something interests you along the way tell me Nope but its using ShiningRedHD's upscaled textures Just like most of the new assets ported from TSL, i'm using his textures with his authorization. I know there are A LOT of visual improvements or upscales out there, but the things im enjoying the most are the ones closest to the vanilla art direction. I know Dark Hope is looking to redo a lot of assets from the first game, but IMO they look too realistic and most of the time are not in line with the game's art direction (even tho they look insanely good and its an amazing work). So its a decision from me to use upscaled textures from Vanilla by default. It also makes everything im adding completely in line with ShiningRed's ultimate mod serie that improves visually most of the game's textures. Ho well, now that you mention this... I have used your Smoothed hands texture for the female child for sure, over an upscaled texture from shiningredHD. I should have specified it. Other than this i've done the rest by myself (skin color especially since you did this aswell) I also think i've got some variants with gloves. Anyway, sorry for not specifying this, as i'm in the middle of thousand things its sometime hard to keep track of what i'm using or not, especially since its only showcases at the moment. Tho for a definitive release, i'll make sure 300% to have every permissions, don't wanna steal anyone's work or take credit for something that i didnt do myself. You have my apologies and the credit list is updated So its basically chromas to add a bit of variety to the robes. I have specific plans in mind for the jedi robes: I will remove the Star Forge robes model to replace them with the armored robes from K2. The star forge robes will become revan disguises to give a free column. Then i'll be replacing the vanilla robes with the cloaked robes from K2, but unlinke JC i will import a lot more variant instead of only having the 4 or 5 from K1 vanilla. JC released a modder's ressource with his supermodels separate from his mod. I'll also make the Jedi Master have master robes aswell. The vanilla robes i'm pulling out are mostly to add variety to the npcs jedis clothes, especially since im extending Dantooine with the Jedi Enclave sublevel But its a nice modder's ressource i guess aswell. Very long post but at least i answered to everything i guess? Next time i'll be covering the force powers for sure!

Hi, I played through your mod a few days ago and enjoyed it really much, so at first I wanted to say thank you for creating it. I found two issues while playing through it: 1) If the player kills the thug (202tel.mod\g_201thug001.utc) which spawns after giving Grenn the information about Batu Rem before the main quest with the Ithorian droid is done, the game softlocks when doing the Ithorian droid quest (only tested the Czerka version, but I think both should have this problem) when starting the cutscene where the thugs show up at the Ithorian hangar. I looked into it and I think the problem is 202tel.mod\g_201thug001.utc has the k_ptel_ma_d.ncs assigned as OnDeath script (the mod itself doesn't touch this utc as far as I can see, but the script is assigned by default). This script increments the global "201TEL_Thugs", which I think shouldn't happen when killing the 202tel.mod\g_201thug001.utc (resetting "201TEL_Thugs" to 0 before doing the droid quest fixed the problem for me.), probably the OnDeath script should be changed for something like k_def_death01.ncs instead? 2) After Zez-Kai Ell rescues the player at the end of the mod the player is teleported to the nar shaddaa docks (In 323NAR.mod\a_geno.ncs "StartNewModule("303nar", "", "", "", "", "", "", "");" is used to do this). I think the waypoint is missing here, because the player starts out at the entrance of the map instead of the hideout, I changed it to StartNewModule("303nar", "FROM_305NAR", "", "", "", "", "", ""); and the scene worked out fine afterwards.

Hello everybody! It's been a while since i posted anything on the forum. I decided to officially start the topic for this big work in progress project, doing something way more structured than my original topic that you can see here : Zobizob's playground. The original topic was going in every direction and was a literal mess, but now i have got a proper aim and goal. You can find the informations within the spoilers down below, have a nice read! Who am I? Why this project? What is the "Kotor Expansion Pack"? The current state and future of this project The very first small showcase from this project, shaping the environments The credit list Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for more

On the Wookieepedia article for Taung's I found the following quote: It appears that, during Kotor, the Taung were on the verge of extinction, not quite, but still few enough in number that their lack of an appearance makes sense.

Oh okay! Sorry, I didn't realize it was a movie. In KOTOR, a cutscene is a dialogue file.

Some bad news and some good news. The bad news: the restored Carth's dialogue when you're initially tossing and turning in your bed has been removed as a temporary solution to a game breaking bug. The good news: the update that removed the above restored content replaced it with Shuma the Hutt. Here is how he appears in the pre-release screenshots: Here is how he appears in RC-K1CP: The old restoration mods and K1R all restore Shuma out in the Hangar Bay even though the above pre-release screenshot exists and the fact that Shuma greets you to his "humble abode" - a term that would make much more sense if he were inside an actual room and not out in the open in the Hangar Bay. To both differentiate RC-K1CP from K1R and to remain faithful to Bioware's original intention with the character, I have restored Shuma inside Elise's room, the one where she appears after you complete the missing droid sidequest. Elise, her boyfriend/her droid will now spawn in the hallway just outside the room to make way for Shuma. In the game files there are four Hutt textures whilst in the vanilla game there only three Hutts. With Shuma added, that brings the total up to four Hutts and as you can probably tell Shuma is using Ajuur's old appearance. To prevent two identical Hutts in your game I decided to restore the unused Hutt texture for Ajuur on Taris. Ajuur will now look like this:

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.

Thank you so much for investigating this. I'll keep this in mind for when I return to the GenoHaradan Legacy update!

A Taung in Kashyyyk as a Mandalorian Leader/Boss would be great! Like one from the group of the Invisible-Mandalorians Quest. That would be great! So many possibilities

Dark option is to help them to extinct; Light option is to go in peace and leave them be

If there was a mod, Taung should be extremely rare and if a boss, Taung should be a Top Tiered Boss with Mandalorian themed weapons. He could be a Mandalorian Leader for Kashyyyk

i want an alpha badly. this mod is looking awesome.

Hello there guys! We've seen most of the common feats in the last post. Today another small showcase, this time focusing on what i think is the most important part for a Bioware game: Companions! My problems with how companions are handled in K1 The most general changes i'm bringing Now, let's dive into each companion and what has been done until now! I won't dive into every change such as attributes modifications or base feat/skills but the biggest ones. Carth Mission Zaalbar Bastila T3-M4 Canderous Juhani Jolee HK-47 The new companions i wish to introduce... Everything in here is, as always, subject to change and evolve. But you get the ideas :) I hope you enjoyed! Hopefully we"ll see the force powers next time!

Hi, these ones, the bastila head that you give out privately due to it containing anothers work, some of the heads you use in screenshots and your recent armors are the ones that caught my eye the most. Also, will you ever make kotor 2 mods? i would love to see what you do with kriea and kavar.

The triggers have been placed in the game and I think the effect is about as smooth as I'm going to get it: Much happier with this iteration of the mod than I was the previous one, so I think this going to be the approach I go with for the final product. I've done a little play-testing to make sure cutscenes aren't broken by the doors stopping NPC's moving etc and it all seems to be ok. The triggers all work as they should. There might be the odd bit of jank with NPC's getting lost for a second and turning on the spot while they wait for a door to open, but other than that, it's all good. Not that there are many proper cutscenes aboard the Ebon Hawk, anyway. At least not in ebo_m12aa, which is the only module I've added the doors to. The other stunt modules, I've left alone. I was mainly concerned that this would interfere with things like Sasha leaving the ship, but she just acts as above. Some of the doors go a little nuts if you try to follow her directly, as multiple creatures are entering/exiting the trigger areas at once, but don't do that it's fine. Well, here it is!

There's your problem. Refer to the quoted section from the mod page. Try using the cheat "warp lev_m40aa", if that doesn't work then that means not even cheating can fix your problem.

I really like the new reskin, specially the stone and lightning textures. I would add a little more color in the hallways, but that is just my personal opinion. I also like that you made Assasins have lightsabers, perhaps you could diversify them further if some of them had dual sabers (even one normal length and one short). And I still think some rooms could have more placeables (like the antechambers to the training room in front of the archives), or some placeables shuffled from the Dantooine enclave layout (for example, I think the dorm room with the lockboxes is the exact same one as the one in the Jedi Enclave, that could be changed to be more distinct), although I don't know if that is in the scope of the mod.

You will need the KOTOR Blender plugin. I used the 3.3 LTS version of blender but it looks like it has now been updated to newer versions. I still recommend using a LTS version. First you need to switch to the lightmap UV. If you don't, the lightmap will be baked on top of the diffuse texture. You can find this under UV Maps in each meshes Object Data Properties. Select each mesh and click UVMap_lm. Yes, it is tedious but it's required. To bake the lightmaps with the plugin, click the KotOR menu -> Lightmaps -> Bake(Auto). You should click an empty space, first, to make sure no meshes are selected. If meshes are selected it will only bake for what is selected. At this point you may notice the lighting looks bad. The UVs need to be unwrapped and some lightmaps will need to be resized to a higher resolution. This is optional but it helps me keep it organized. Look through the list of meshes and see which ones have lightmaps. I then rename the meshes to start with the lightmap name (lm0_Object19,lm1_Box01, lm9_mesh456,...). When unwrapping the UVs this makes it easy to select all meshes that share a lightmap, which you may be doing multiple times. There's 3 ways to unwrap the lightmap UVs. Each has different advantages and disadvantages. The best to use will depend on each group of meshes, sharing a lightmap. 1) Lightmap Pack (Most efficient) - This one will work for most but sometimes the triangles of a face get separated, creating an ugly seam. 2) Unwrap (Medium efficient) - Keeps the basic shape of faces the same bust doesn't pack as efficiently. This one requires you to select all(a key) UVs first or nothing happens. 3) Smart UV Project (Least efficient) - This one maintains the shape of faces perfectly but each UV takes up a lot of space. May require you to increase the lightmap resolution really high to look good (1024x1024 or more). While in the layout workspace, select all meshes that share a lightmap. Then switch to the UV Editing workspace. All meshes need to be selected in the 3D view, for the UVs to show in the UV editor. Then select one of the unwrap types in UV -> Unwrap. Remember, if doing regular unwrap, selecting all UVs is first required. Now, go back to the Layout workspace and bake the lightmaps. Some lightmaps may have weird artifacts or look low res. You can compensate for that by resizing the lightmap texture. Go to the UV Editing workspace and select the lightmap to edit. Then Image -> Resize. I try not to resize higher than 512x512 and I keep less detailed meshes between 16 and 128. The larger the texture size, the more memory it takes in game and the longer it takes to bake. Then go back to Layout workspace and bake again. To save the lightmap texture, go to UV Editing layout then Image -> Save As. You will need to do this for each lightmap once and make sure you choose TGA when saving. After, you can use Save All Images. I haven't even touched on lighting but here's a few tips: - Under World Properties, the surface color will affect your lighting a lot. I prefer to just remove the surface(or make it darker) and it gives me more control over the lighting. - Point lights fill the room with a lot of ambient light. If you want more control over the shadows use spot lights. - The game engine will add even more lighting on top of the scene. You can control this in the light's Object Properties -> KotOR Model Node -> Light

I learnt not very long ago that skepticism is often founded. Fortunately, this time, they were indeed wrong! And even better : the compatibility version will soon be done!

Look inside the TSLPatchdata folder of this mod and look for the files with the ".uti" expension. Uti files are the item files, so the word before ".uti" on those files are the cheat codes. For example, the cheat code for the file "g_a_class4099.uti" is "giveitem g_a_class4099".

I'm calling the police.

There's only one way you can go back and redo your build, you use the Kotor Savegame Editor. Now it is possible to use KSE to cheat whether it be giving yourself all the items, all the feats, max skill, max stats etc. Don't do that for this case, let's say if you had 8 feats if you wanted to remove the Dueling and replace it with the Two-Weapon Fighting feat it's technically not cheating as all you've done is swap the two feats around.

I have no reason to do that. You often make constructive and good remarks. I like being able to read your advices, such as DarthParametric's. But this is just bad.

Bro wtf. Did you pay him to do his enormous mod ? No ? He's doing it for free, for us. So yeah, you'll have to wait a little bit more, as we all do. Furthermore, according to you, "Mod release deadlines are for those that don't care about quality". Well guess what ? He missed his deadline. You should be relieved by that...

N-DReW's Mini Mod Collection is dead! Long live Kotor II Restored Content Plus! My former Mini Mod Collection, last updated in 2022, has evolved into a new mod. As the old Collection was mostly restored content, that mod has now become a restored content centric mod whilst the bug fix elements of the old Collection have since been transferred to my Bug Fix Collection mod. Whilst the format of K2RC+ is similar to my Kotor I restored content mod, the RC-K1CP, this new mod is NOT a replacement/alternative to TSLRCM like RC-K1CP is to K1R. Instead, K2RC+ is an addon FOR TSLRCM restoring cut content TSLRCM either missed, didn't know exist, or don't want to restore. This mod is also highly decentralized meaning you can choose to avoid certain restorations if you don't want them. The mod is already updated, and unlike RC-K1CP there are plenty of screenshots of the mod page of some of the restorations in-game. I'm sure some of these restorations look as if I'm really scrapping the bottom of the barrel for content restoring things I'm sure we can live without, and then there's the street dancer content that was cut from the Citadel Docks. I'm certain most of you looking at this mod will notice the restored unique appearance for the Harbinger Captain. And I know for a fact the only reason you care about this unique head is so that you can ask "Is it compatible with Fixed Hologram Models and Admiralty Redux for TSLRCM?" And the answer is... kind of. Unless DP updates his mod to give his Republic Captain this head, you won't have this captain with the fixed hologram, though if you install the Unique Appearance Restorations component of K2RC+ first and then Fixed Hologram Models and Admiralty Redux for TSLRCM afterwards you'll get Ralon's new appearance and you will get DP's own Republic Captain with the Hologram fix. Much like my RC-K1CP WIP thread, I'll be posting updates to this mod when I get around to tinkering with future restored content for this game. For a full list of restorations in this mod, please visit this link!

Updated to 1.0.1 1.0.1 Update fix list: - Fixed the ability to remove party members from party in certain modules - Fixed dialogue in the 3rd recording in Tyrena station where it won't give you the updated journal entry - Fixed the king seeing you as a Miraluka when you're a Mirialan - Fixed the dialogue script typo which wouldn't set Exile as a male under canon choice To resolve these issues for those who downloaded the earlier version, you can download newest version and run the installer which will patch over it. But this will only affect saved games which are before these points.

After over 15 years of development hell few would honestly keep believing tbh. Most such projects that go for so long end up stuck for good. Though I doubt Logan would deliver without your help (and any other people that assisted him with this mod). That said congrats for your efforts and sheer determination to deliver despite all odds. Respect. I'm glad that I was wrong about the "dead" part. How many episodes are planned?

Thank you so much!

K1 Speaker's Charisma modifier is added to Persuade skill checks Jedi's Charisma modifier is added to the amount of Force Points gained each level (minimum 1 per level) Caster's Charisma modifier is added to the Difficulty Class of all Force powers which involve a saving throw Caster's Charisma modifier is added to the amount of Vitality Points healed with the Cure and Heal Force powers K2 Speaker's Charisma modifier is added to Persuade skill checks Caster's Charisma modifier is added to the Difficulty Class of all Force powers which involve a saving throw Caster's Charisma modifier is added to the amount of Vitality Points healed with the Heal Force powers Caster's Charisma bonus reduces the cost of Force powers Party leader's Charisma modifier is added to attack rolls made by other party members Player's Charisma modifier affects alignment shifts of party members (except Kreia). Not really. Persuade rolls are not typical d20 skill rolls in K1 (StrategyWiki has a good explanation) and there are no Persuade rolls in K2. This is only in K2. All Force powers which involve a saving throw add the caster's Wisdom and Charisma modifiers to the Difficulty Class. This is mentioned in the description of each Force power. For example, in Whirlwind's description:

I hadn't noticed this, but I didn't really test it in-game very thoroughly with all the animations. I'll check it out. I had started to re-create some of those Combat Suits after I upscaled all the vanilla textures, but I hadn't finished them all yet. I'll try to get back to it someday and provide all new 2048x2048 versions. I can check out the Czerka texture then. I would hope that I had fixed the UVWs already in my new 4x mod, so that the old 512x512 textures should work with the new models. There's always room for improvement. There are a lot of little changes and fixes, both UVW & texture, that I didn't specifically point out in the screenshots. I spent months trying to clarify all the changes, both in screen shots and in the text in the spreadsheet. I didn't want to spend even more time trying to catalogue everything. I'm glad that you noticed though. I also texture fixed the shoulder seam on the female rags, but didn't document it. For the most part that previous Party model fixes is either duplicated or improved upon by this new 4x mod. The old mod is still required for the Bastila head texture. The 4x mod supplies a 1024x1024 upscale that is faithful to the original art style; just the seams have been fixed; and added the transparency on hair and eyelashes. The old party fix mod supplied a 2048x2048 texture that adds a lot of photo realistic detail. I do plan on combining my Party model fixes with my old K1 underwear mod and upscale everything as well. I'm just adding some photo real details to Mission's head texture right now. I might do the same with the male party members. Once that's done, both of those old mods will be obsolete. Juhani Catlike Head will remain a separate mod, but I'll upscale that as well. I hadn't seen this mod before, as I've only had time to work on my own stuff. No time to check out the great work by other modders here. I like this mod's Mission armour models being resized for her. I haven't done any adding of backfaces like that mod does. I've only been editing the existing UVW & XYZ coordinates using Taina's Replacer tool (which can't handle adding or subtracting polygons). I hear there have been some nice improvement to tools for compiling models from Blender, but I've never used them. Hopefully someday I will have some free time to give it a try. You can always try mixing and matching PapaZinos' models with my 4x textures. Maybe they will be compatible enough.

Is this mod still being worked on? Do we have any updated demos we can play. I was so hype for this back in the day

Exactly, the head mesh uses 17 bones so the error message should go away with a more recent version of MDLEdit. I should add that I’ve only tested him with his normal K1 animations (essentially just standing around and taking). I did try replacing the PC with him to see the combat animations for fun so that wasn’t a rigourous test. I haven’t played ROR so depending on what those Yoda-likes do in the mod I might have to recheck the skin weights, especially on the lower body. I do hear that you’d need a TSL port so I’ll look into that shortly.

Hello, I'm N-DReW25: a writer for the Revenge of Revan mod. The mod's development is going well, though any discussion of the mod's development can be done in the return of ROR thread as this post is concerning another topic. During the development of the ROR mod, I've personally thought up something called a "Revenge of Revan Addon mod" or "ROR Addon" for short. A ROR Addon is a mod which is designed to work with the ROR mod and can only be used with the ROR mod (A mod which was made for K2 which is also fully compatible with ROR isn't considered a ROR Addon, though a "What's compatible with ROR" thread might be opened upon ROR Episode 1's release!). Originally, I thought I would be announcing the ROR Addon concept sometime after the release of ROR Episode 1, however, due to the release of a recent mod I am pleased to announce that a new ROR Addon has been made which I can happily show the general public without leaking anything from the modern ROR mod which is still in development. And the first (and hopefully not last) ROR Addon is called: "High Quality Aliens: Yoda Species" The Revenge of Revan mod currently has not one, not two, but three Yoda species NPCs. Whilst I have made 3 skins, currently only one of the Yoda NPCs is used in the mod though since none of you realistically know who "Ulon Tuain" is I might as well call it "High Quality Aliens: Yoda Species". This here is now Ulon appears in the ROR Demo and how he will look in the future releases of the ROR mod: And here is how Ulon will appear with the HQ Yoda Species ROR Addon installed!: Disclaimer: Every Jedi Council member in the ROR Demo had names, you could only see them in the dialogue feedback menu once the Jedi Council cutscene ended. Just because Ulon Tuain has a ROR Addon made for him and the fact that I've revealed his name to the public doesn't make him "important" in the grand scheme of the ROR plot, as many of the fine details of later content of ROR is still up in the air it is possible that Ulon Tuain might just be "a Jedi Council member" character and that's it, or it might be possible that the Jedi Council members will play a bigger role which hasn't been written in yet... we just don't know (in 2022). And the dialogue is of course experimental, if overall community feedback dislikes the Yoda speak then remove from the mod we will! So when will this ROR Addon be released? I am not certain of that, and I have two very good reasons as to why this mod might not be released soon. 1) ROR Episode 1 hasn't been released yet: If I released this mod tomorrow then the players would only be able to play this mod with the ROR Demo which was released in 2011 (How many of us are playing the ROR Demo in 2022?) 2) Stormie's ported model hasn't been thoroughly tested: When I imported the model into MDLEdit (One of you model modders probably had a stroke reading that) I received an error message. This is very, VERY likely the result of MDLEdit not being prepared to load a "custom model completely built from scratch using modern 3D asset creation techniques" (as Stormie puts it). MDLEdit probably had a stroke as the following was the error message I recieved: As you can see from my screenshot, I believe the ported model works just fine in K2... however, I think it might be best to wait some time and hope Stormie himself ports his work to K2 and I'll just use that model instead. But I want it now! I am also very, VERY open to the idea of releasing all 3 High Quality Yoda skins for ROR as replacements for the original Vandar mod. That means you will be able to pick one of the 3 ROR Yoda's and have it replace the Vandar texture in K1 (You WILL require Stormie's original mod to be installed first!) In-conclusion: Let me know what you guys think of both the High Quality Vandar reskin and the concept of Addon mods for the ROR mod! Do you think ROR Addons are a good idea? Would you play with Addons when ROR is released? Do you think this is a bad idea? Should I release the Yoda skins for K1? Let me know what you think in the comments, your feedback (good and bad) would be helpful for Logan and the team! All credit goes to Stormie97 for the original model and texture!

Hey everyone! Here you can post your question about the Revenge Revan game or modding/game design. Post the text here and then if you have a mic you can also email me the question in your voice where I will then answer the question combining the two audio (question and answer) together and release it. Thanks Logan

Can any one advise me on how to see the photos? when i click on them its just show grey box and spinning cirle like its going to open the pic , but it never does , it just keeps on loading .

Hey Everyone The Beta Testing for the Demo's content has started!! With this comes the next step Human VOs.... Post here is your interested in doing VO work for Revenge of Revan. Just need to know your age and wither your male or female along with what type of characters you believe you would be good for....villain, beggar, sad npc, happy npc, professional npc, soldier,..etc. I will send a PM to you where you can send me a sample of a VO you did. Then i will send out the parts/lines to the people by email. Roles will range from simple NPCs walking by to more detail roles. MORE TO COME..... Logan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- List of People who are Interested: Storm-Rider "Im interested in doing a VO for revenge of revan, Im 16, Male, I havent done it before but wanting to try it out, I'll be good at any character really, Although i'd like to try a villain," Sith Holocron Male age 30's JediExile "I'll try out. I'm a female in my 20s. I'd be good at a happy or professional NPC. Just let me know where to send the sample" JuniorModder Specialize in male children-adults, with British and American accents. However, I can do older adults. I can play many characters with unique voices at one time, so it's no problem for me to play multiple characters. ZimmMaster Will be 17 in nine days. I specialize in male characters, especially villains, with a deep bass voice. Cody I am Male and I am 19 years old. Though I am told that my voice makes me sound younger. I can do a voice for villains, beggars, sad npcs, happy npcs, young soldiers,young jedi/sith and child-young adult. Kreia001 Hi, I am a male and currently I am 17 years old. I can do VO's for everyone, though I would prefer a villain, jedi/sith, and if possible a major character. I am talanted at acting Makaveli I'm a male in my 20's. With accents, I can affect a southern american accent pretty well, otherwise unaccented (american). My voice is similar to Zherron/Nemo in a character sense, though I can raise the speed and pitch. I'm not really suited to a young or excitable character, but the others I could give a good shot.

Don't kill yourself over it nobody is perfect, nobody is ever close to perfect, you are a modding prodigy fair strides, do not worry about one simple mistake alright so what some people god viruses on their computers use an anti virus software. If those foolish people who were affected by this little virus they probably didn't have an anti virus installed, which is something essential for anyone using a computer, so in conclusion it is not your fault fair strides nor is it theirs it is fate playing a cruel joke is what I prefer to call it.
