View File JC's Dense Aliens for K1 There are so-called "lite" alien models that are of lesser quality than most other models in the game. These include the Quarren and Gran species. Both aliens feature more prominently in the sequel and their models were given an overhaul. This mod ports the K2 versions of the models back to K1, improving the quality of models and creating a more consistent aesthetic.

I opted to wait an entire year. And now I bump this again, in hopes of someone picking it up.

Much needed change, insta-download, permanent addition to override

I really like the overcast feel, it makes Dantooine ever more depressing without it being too over the top.

And here is the ingame shot: Getting there took quite a while. First I had to get the grass color right which is a really annoying thing to do as I can't just take the colors from the texture due to the different lighting in Terragen and the game. But I got there after about 10 iterations or so... Then I noticed something that I already knew but had completely forgotten. The TSL Dantooine skybox is rotated compared to the K1 skybox, so my reused K1 terrain was also rotated ingame. To fix this inconsistency, I had to rotate the camera in Terragen, but then I also had to move the sun accordingly so that it stays where it's supposed to be. But then the sun disappeared behind my clouds and it's impossible to rotate the clouds in TG which was a real shame in that case because I liked those clouds a lot. Many cloud iterations later, I got new cloud shapes that look good again, so those are what you see in the screenshot. Now I just have to fix the 3d grass in the skybox and fix the actual skybox model. Currently the horizon is still way too high.

I was thinking of a way you could keep her original voice for the Taris encounter, but still have the option for additional VO for an expanded version where she escapes and you fight her later on another planet. You could say she was severely wounded in the first fight and needed to have cybernetics implanted. That would free you up to use a robotic sort of voice filter to distort whoever did the new VO and provide an easy explanation for why she has a different voice in a subsequent encounter.

A few days ago when I was driving home, we had this really beautiful sky that you sometimes get when a storm is coming. The next day, I thought that something like this might work really well for TSLs Dantooine. So I opened Terragen again and tried to replicate what I saw the day before. It was actually surprisingly easy to get a similar result but it took some more days to get a version that worked as a skybox ingame as most tries just looked off in some way. I only have a low quality test render of that latest version, but I figured I might as well share it here: I'm currently rendering a higher quality test version with the updated terrain I created for K1s V2 Dantooine skybox. Once that's done, I'll probably have an ingame screenshot as well.
