3 pointsNar Shaddaa is coming together really well and much easier than I expected: A few things to note here: The 2D building backdrops in front of the skybox are still missing. And the windows are all way too yellow. I might also tweak the building distribution a little as it's pretty obviously all the same building on the right. But I'll add the other buildings first as that might already hide this issue.

3 pointsBumping a thread, I.E. asking for updates, is against the rules here. The great and terrible Sithspecter will let us know when he has something to share. Any further bumping will be disciplined.

This mod aims to improve the space scenes in Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. This is done both to improve the visual quality as well as the continuity between cutscenes and playable areas. The changes made to achieve this are thus also twofold: First there are new high resolution textures provided for almost all space backdrops and then there are model changes to create more extensive edits. For a full list of what has been changed, see below (contains spoilers). Additionally there is an optional part of the mod that brings the galaxy map appearance of some planets in line with the new backdrops. See below for installation instructions. There are some mods by other authors that already do an amazing job at improving certain backdrops, so I did not see the need to imitate their work. Instead, I highly recommend you install those mods as well. I will list them below. COMPABILITY This mod is not compatible with other mods that edit the same textures or models. Notable exceptions are TSLRCM and M4-78 EP: - This mod overrides 222TEL15.mdl and 222TEL15.mdx provided by TSLRCM. This will replace some VISUAL ONLY! changes by TSLRCM with my version. Check the screenshots to see which one you prefer. - Also, this mod will override 003EBOq.mdl and 003EBOq.mdx from M4-78EP. In this case my mod includes the changes done by M4-78 EP, so you can safely override those files (make a backup though). INSTALLATION If you have TSLRCM and/or M4-78 EP installed, go to your Override folder and make backups of 222TEL15.mdl, 222TEL15.mdx, 003EBOq.mdl and 003EBOq.mdx just in case. Then copy all files from the "To Override" folder into your Override folder. If you want to install the galaxy map changes as well, also copy the files from the "Optional Galaxy Map Changes" folder to your Override folder. And finally I highly recommend you install the other backdrop improvement mods listed below. UNINSTALLATION Delete this mod's files from your Override folder and restore the backups of 222TEL15.mdl, 222TEL15.mdx, 003EBOq.mdl and 003EBOq.mdx (if you have TSLRCM and/or M4-78 EP installed). RECOMMENDED MODS - Improved Peragus Asteroid Fields by Vasilii Zaytsev - Replacement Peragus II Artwork by Trench - Telos Citadel Station Skybox by Quanon - Alternatively you can use the TEL_Bdrp.tga and TEL_Bdrp.txi from TSL Remastered by sELFiNDUCEDcOMA KNOWN BUGS - The asteroids during the Peragus escape sequence appear out of nowhere. This is either due to my limited knowledge or due to limitations in our tools but I haven't been able to fix it yet. Should that bother you, remove 003EBOs.mdl and 003EBOs.mdx from your Override folder. Note however that you will also loose the Dxun backdrop for the Arrival at Dxun scene. LIST OF CHANGES (SPOILERS!!!) CREDITS This mod was created by Kexikus.

1 pointI wouldn't be surprised if they did that. I also wouldn't be surprised if they just never officially mention Johnson again either. I would be surprised if he did make another star wars anything though
-
1 pointSo... this has been canned. Yay, some good Star Wars news. Who wants to bet they off the Ruin Johnson trilogy officially in November to get people "excited" for IX?
-
1 pointNope. I will report when I have further updates.
-
1 pointI was never working on a head mod, just playing with the textures (or playing with textures other people had already played with). I have no interest in it. There's nothing stopping someone else from doing it.
-
1 pointI would recommend you to deinstall my other mods, just to be sure. This mod however will be released as a whole, since it's edit so much content (I also plan to hex edit some duplicated vanilla texture spelling for increased performance at same visual quality). That means it's completely incompatible with any other planet texture mod. Only armor, lightsaber, headtextures & partially skyboxes will be compatible. Which is basically a good thing. Consistency is very important to create a believable world and I'm trying my hardest to get every inch fitting in or reminding you of the Star Wars universe, BF & the movies are a great help in that regard.
-
1 pointWell glad you like it! Things like wind & vegetation effects would be certainly cool but probably not possible... However, filling the skyboxes with numerous objects would simluate variety to some degree. Dantooine btw. is done with Naboo in mind: Mod: For the Crystal cave im still thinking about emulating the shimmering effect on the rocks here: Still WIP:

1 pointDespite the sparse updates recently, the texture production is going pretty well actually. For the upcoming K1 Overhaul I will open a thread soon, but I can assure you guys it's a massive, epic mod that blows any of my previous mods out of the water. Literally. For instance all textures (already > 7 GB) have been remade over the years from scratch, and it doesnt use repetitve tex either - e.g. some computer panels using the same vanilla texture like the Sithbase ones are now divided into at least 6 totally different animated panels with original designs from the movies. original vanilla panel: Ep VII: Mod: Panel EP VII: Mod: Or this lock mechanism inspired by BF2 is only used for a tiny texture to make the SB door panels feel more realistic: To get an appropriate feel to Taris Lower City i also made some cyberpunkish Light tech and such: But there's much more to come!
-
1 pointSorry for the very late reply - no, it's very unlikely that I will continue this old series. However, the unreleased textures on my HDD are advancements of those Mods and I hope to find the time to release them. ----------------------------------------------------- The mod is NOT dead, though I can't promise anything, I hope I can release the K1 version soon. Short glimse of the remade red/white cantina sign seen here: Set the flame and let it burn:
-
1 pointwell the lights are already done. The tedious part of work is to hex edit the walls for a smoother look & custom texturing. Btw, gave some custom design to spice up the Telos Cantina Floor: vanilla Custom - with reflecting middle section: for the Telos polar academy i got the idea to replace the lights with heaters as a further indication of the coldness of his place - similar to what you see in ME Andromeda / Mankind Divided - although on the downside have to make them in white though:
-
1 pointUsing Dark Katarn, huh? Nice. I look forward to seeing what you'll be doing with the Iziz Cantina lights (especially outside).
-
1 pointPlanning to put in "iced" textures to the Telos academy - and, yes, they are reflecting when moving ingame: some experiment for different panels style: before: after- Onderon style:
