4 pointsA 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

4 pointsI 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.

3 pointsThe awakening is very nice. How did you create the eye opening blurred effect?
-
2 pointsOh okay! Sorry, I didn't realize it was a movie. In KOTOR, a cutscene is a dialogue file.

2 pointsLet 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!

1 pointHello there! So basically, i have done the same thing as force camouflage, with some more steps to make everything work. Here is the detailed process if anyone wish to do the same thing. In K1, the force camouflage feat itself does not do anything and is purely cosmetic. If Juhani can go into stealth, it's because she has got a stealth belt equipped into her creature hide slot. The stealth belts are obviously not equippable on droids in vanilla, but there is a column for this in baseitems.2da (Droid can use, or usertype, something like that). You can put 3 different values in there, 0 so both humans and droids can use the item, 1 so only humans can, and finally 2 so only droids can. However, i couldnt "just" change this value for the stealth belt, because it would cause the default stealth belts to be equippable on HK/T3 in their shield slots. So what i did is that i copied the Stealth Belt row in baseitems.2da and created a new row dedicated for droids only so it would not affect the default belts. There is also an annoying limitation that i couldnt get around with K1. In vanilla you cannot select the stealth skill in the GUI. I thought i could fix this by editing the Skills.2DA file, because its possible in there to edit if a class has access to a dedicated skill. However, even after opening the skill to the combat droid class, if you you try to click on Stealth and allocate skill points there with HK, you get a message telling you that droids cannot use Stealth. However, if you specify a higher "recommanded" priority number for Stealth than the other skills, you actually get skill points invested into stealth by clicking "Recommanded" in the GUI. This was not working really as i wanted it to be. Finally, a character cannot go into stealth if they do not have at the very least 1 point in their Stealth skill (even if they have items that provides them stealth skill point bonus). So basically, i've added 2 skill points into Stealth to HK by default when he joins you, so he is able to use the thing. I've changed his hide items type for his upgrades by the newly created stealth belt row dedicated for droids, and i've made each upgrade increase his stealth skill so there is still a progression. The belts also provide the newly created feat for HK, which is the same as G0-T0 in K2 btw. Purely cosmetic, just like force camouflage, but it tells the player the new passive. Kinda convoluted, but it works and that's all i wanted Also, while we are talking about HK and his hidden items... In K1, I noticed yesterday that HK's unarmed animations were broken (just like T3). He does have 2 unique melee animation, but It's broken because he didnt have a proper "pause" animation and dodge animation inbetween his melee hits. In K2 this has been fixed by Obsidian, the only thing they removed from K1 model is an animation for poison (cohesive, as droids cannot get poisoned in the game). So i've converted K2 model and now HK has got his unarmed animations fully working (same process as T3!). I'm wondering if I should provide HK some dedicated unarmed feats with his upgrades. Seeing this big robot perform kicks is hella terryfying lmao 😄

1 pointI changed the name of it. I guess the original version was just a straight replacement for the vanilla model. Found the texture, but seems there's no DS transitions. I'm not making an installer or doing any further work on it, so you'll need to figure out the rest yourself. Handmaiden_Head_Atris_Hair_Ponytail.7z

1 pointHi, 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.

1 pointSeems the OdysseyTrimesh modifier had its mat colour overrides set to mid-grey, so that would be why. Try this one:

1 pointFirst, 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

1 pointI 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!

1 pointN-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!
