I've been working on this mod for a while and you probably know what it'll be about from the title but let me start with a short introduction anyway^^ There are two things that bother me about playing K1 as a dark side character: First of all, there is no dark jedi companion. Secondly, you have to kill Juhani if you want to keep to the dark side, meaning that you miss a Jedi companion and that's not really what you want... The obvious solution: Make Juhani recruitable as a dark Jedi And since many people expect that they'll be able to do that when getting to said scene anyway, I thought I'd make a mod allowing you to do that. Sadly I can't really show you that much, but here's a picture of Juhanis character screen: In the end, you will be able to recruit dark side Juhani in two steps. You have to initiate the mod when meeting her on Dantooine and then actually recruit her on another planet (I won't spoil which one). She will then be a dark Jedi obviously, with edited dialogue to fit her "new" character. There will also be consequences for the endgame, her companion quest etc. Additionally I made two new robes, one dark and one light, that you get when recruiting Juhani (you can see the dark side version in the screenshot above). At the moment, everything from the initiation on Dantooine to the actual recruitment is done except for voice overs and lipsync (and a few very tiny issues). I intend to add both of those, but for now I'll show you the Dantooine part without voices: I hope you like it and I'll keep you updated on my progress, but since there's not much I can actually show you, there won't be that many updates.

Please. Current Kotor 1 female heads just aren't doing it for me right now. Checked TSL's heads out of curiosity and bam, turns out this one is perfect. I've spent the last hour or two looking for either the knowledge or the finished job but came up short. Apparently porting only just became allowed relatively recently. I would MASSIVELY appreciate this one way or another.

1. Liked the Teleportation system 2. Liked Kaah being in the Central Zone after dealing with the Enviro-Zone 3. Liked the presence of Gonk droids. 4. Liked how you handled the lag in the Industrial Zone 5. Loved all new droid voices and wonder if there will be voices for the rest of protocol droids. 6. Liked being able to sequence break with Bao-Dur.

Hey. I was gone for awhile, but now I'm back. Let's party.

I just hit a milestone in the development of this mod All new and edited scenes are done (and working as far as I can tell). Some of those still need to be tested to make sure they're actually doing what they're supposed to do, but having them all ingame is a great feeling. This may sound as if the mod was as good as done, but it certainly is not. I still need to rewrite the entire companion dialog and some of the other dialog I've written before simply because I either didn't really captured the way Juhani speaks or because it's lacking character development. I have some cool ideas for that, but planing and writing all of this will take time I still have 1.5 weeks until my lectures start and I want to get as much as possible done in that time, since I don't know how much I can work on the mod afterwards. We'll see what happens

Just a short update: I finally continued working on this mod and basically finished up the scene on top of the Rakatan temple with all its variations. All that remains there is the Juhani romance in certain outcomes. I also wanted to move on to the beach scene, but encountered a really weird issue: The Rakatan computer is not accessible if you choose the Dark Side ending with Juhani as dark party member... I think I know what file is causing this, but I have no idea what the issue is^^ Edit: Figured it out

I'm on it. Edit: This should do the trick, unzip into your Override folder. It replaces the vanilla K1 PFHB05. Effixians_PFHB05_from_K2_to_K1.zip In case you or anyone is curious about the process; you export the K2 head with KotOR Tool (mdl & mdx), you export the super model (mdl & mdx) from the game you want to port things to (so K1 here) to the same location. It turned out it was s_female03 for this one (MDLEdit will let you know if you picked the wrong one). Now you open MDLEdit, load the mdl file, switch the game to KotOR 1 with the button, save as ASCII. Next you load the ASCII model that you just saved and save it as Binary. I think the super model is needed for animations and the "saving to ASCII step" is apparantly needed to make things work, you can't do binary to binary with only hitting that game version button.
