HD NPC Portraits for Knights of the Old Republic 2 - The Sith Lords v1.1 - 20201004 - by ndix UR (DeadlyStream user) This modification adds 30 high resolution (1K) portrait images for NPCs. The 1K portraits have 64x the resolution of the 128x128 originals. The portraits are rendered to match the poses, colors, and lighting of the original images as closely as possible given the following constraints: Only vanilla textures (and my own additional maps based on same) are used While the textures are mostly crap, most of the work was in material setup using a modern rendering engine, so even the vanilla textures still wind up looking much better than they have any right to. This is because of real lights, shading, and materials, of which the original diffuse textures are only a part. I didn't really redo geometry, beyond appropriate use of edge split and subdivision surface modifiers. I did some amount of normalizing the gradients behind the characters. I think Disciple and Mira are the only ones with non-standard background gradients now. This package includes portrait for HK-50 and HK-51 units. They aren't used in any existing mods I'm aware of; I just put them in because they made sense to have. You can remove them if you wish. The Atris portrait is unused in the vanilla game but may be used by playable Atris mods. I only included it because it existed in the vanilla assets.

All 34 male and female vanilla player characters are provided, with all 3 light-dark variants, for a total of 102 new portraits. The 1K portraits have 64x the resolution of the 128x128 originals.

Summary This mod adds five new lightsaber colors to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, including the colors that were introduced in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords. The new colors are cyan, orange, pink, silver, and viridian. The orange and cyan blades are similar to but visually distinct from Heart of the Guardian and Mantle of the Force. In KOTOR 2, the Heart of the Guardian and Mantle of the Force textures are simply reused, but I decided to retain the idea that these are unique crystals, so they are a little different from the standard orange and cyan. There is one item drop for each new color. Cyan: in some rubble near Juhani's haunt in the grove on Dantooine. Orange: on the corpse of Shaela Nur in the Tomb of Naga Sadow on Korriban. Pink: in the crystal cave on Dantooine. Silver: carried by an elite Sand People warrior in the desert on Tatooine near the entrance to their territory. Viridian: on the corpse of poor Nemo inside the ruins on Dantooine. Additionally, Suvam Tan on Yavin will sell the new crystals. He will have at least one and up to three of each color when he restocks his store. I thought it would be weird if he sold only the new colors, so for extra flavor he will also sell crystals in the original colors (blue, red, green, yellow, and violet). I have also swapped the placement of the other crystals in the cave around so they match the appearance of the crystal formations from which you receive them better. The blue crystal comes from the crystal formation that looks blue, etc. The lightsaber blade textures are based on the template I developed for my Lightsaber Visual Effects mod. I suggest that you also use that mod for aesthetic consistency. There are two versions of the mod: one that uses the original hilt models, and one that uses Hi Poly Tin Cans courtesy @VarsityPuppet. Installation Extract files from the downloaded archive. Run Extra_Saber_Colors_K1.exe. Click "Install Mod" and select your game directory (default name SWKOTOR). Optionally, copy the files from the Alternate Viridian folder to Override if you want to use the alternate version that is closer to the original KOTOR 2 viridian texture, replacing the previously installed files. Uninstallation Remove the installed files or replace from backups if necessary. Compatibility Ths mod uses TSL Patcher for compatibility, but various subtleties may make it incompatible with other lightsaber mods or mods that affect the same areas. This mod patches the following: upcrystals.2da danm14ac danm14ae korr_m39aa liv_m99aa tat_m18aa This mod must be installed after any non-TSL Patcher mods that edit those. On Tatooine, one instance of g_tuskenmale003 (Elite Warrior) has been replaced by a new creature file so only one of them will drop a silver crystal. The other instance of this creature is unaffected This mod utilizes the following model variations for lightsaber crystals and hilts: 200 206 207 208 209 This mod is compatible with my Darksaber mod.

Donations If you enjoy my mods and would like to show your support in a monetary manner, you may do so via PayPal with this donation link. For various legal and ethical reasons, this is entirely optional and is not a requirement to downloading or using any of my mods. I also do not create specific mods for hire. I make mods as a hobby and will most likely do so regardless of any donations or lack thereof, but modding does take up a lot of my time and every bit helps.

This is a simple edit of the camera model for the workbench upgrade screen that alters some of the camera angles/positions to zoom in a bit closer to certain weapon types, most notably lightsabers, so you can get a better look at the models when running the game at higher resolutions. Mostly intended for those using modded weapons. Installation Instructions Simply drop the MDL/MDX in your Override folder. Known Issues Requires ndix UR's KOTOR High Resolution Menus mod to work as intended. Only tested at 1080p. Results may vary at other resolutions/aspect ratios. Modded weapons that are excessively large will likely go off-screen, but they probably do that already. Acknowledgements Thanks to @bead-v for MDLEdit and KOTORMax. Thanks to @ndix UR for the High Res Menus mod.
