You know, I had a crack at making this mod as well back in the day but I never released it due to some issues. In testing, in the Undercity with that little cutscene where you chose whether or not to save Hendar from the Rakghoul, for some reason if you had T3 and Carth with you at the same time the moment you run outside the gate you just stand there and the cutscene never ends. Just checked your files, it appears you haven't attempted to fix that issue so that may be a massive problem for those who play this mod. Why was this even done? The game files heavily suggest that the player could entire the Sith Base at any given time as long as they had T3. That cut line in the screenshot with Canderous is but one of three different scenarios which where meant to play out: 1st scenario, doesn't have T3/Vanilla: "Lucky for you I know just the place to get a droid like that. Davik was having one custom built by Janice Nall." 2nd) Has T3, doesn't have Sith Base Codes: "But that little T3 unit you got from Janice should be good enough to get the job done." 3rd) Has T3, has Sith Base Codes: "See, I put two and two together and I figured out you're the person who stole those Sith departure codes for Taris. So you're exactly the person I'm looking for." Realistically, the only reason why a player shouldn't enter the Sith Base is because the NPCs aren't balanced for a level 3 party with just Carth and weak weapons. Besides that, if the player somehow managed to kill the Sith Governor the only real problem would be that the Sith Codes side quest updates and mentions Canderous in the description (Which can be either ignored or edited to remove the Canderous mention). So the game would go: Start Taris > Buy T3 > Steal Sith Codes > Save Bastila > Go to Canderous in Upper City Cantina > Immediately go to Davik's Estate. Additionally, it appears that the player also had the option to buy a Sith Base Passcard via the Sith Party NPCs in the Cantina based on alternate dialogue like this below. "Well, are you here to close our deal? 2000 credits gets you access to the Military Base. Otherwise we really shouldn't be talking." And if your character has a Sith base Passcard on hand when they enter the base they can say this to the receptionist. "[Persuade] I work here - look, I've got an access card." That would be problematic, as it'd allow you to enter the Sith Base without T3 and would enable you to abandon him on Taris. If for some odd reason you wanted to restore that as well, you'd need to add a conditional to Dark Side Bastila's Ebon Hawk dlg where she says "The droids will still serve you" as then it'd be possible to leave T3 and HK both behind on Taris and Tatooine. So you could technically can restore both possibilities (enter Sith Base early and leave T3 behind) though I would recommend that these versions be optional so players could chose which version they'd rather play.

Thanks for bringing all these points up! The additional ways to enter the Sith Military base are certainly interesting and could be worth a look at if it could be made to make sense within the story. After you pointed out the issue in the Undercity, I did some looking and it appears the script that gave move instructions to party members only accounted for two party members as a third member isn't supposed to be with you yet. The third party member would tag along a little ways and would sometimes pass the trigger that would close the Undercity gate, but rarely. I have changed the script to issue instructions to a third party member and the infinite cutscene issue seems to be resolved. Thank you for pointing this out! I will make sure you are credited as I would not have known about this otherwise. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: IN V1.0, HAVING T3 IN YOUR PARTY WHEN TRYING TO SAVE HENDAR FROM THE RAKGHOUL CHASING HIM CAUSES THE CUTSCENE TO NEVER END. IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE MOD AGAIN AS V1.1 & BEYOND ADDRESSES THIS. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO REINSTALL THE MOD THEN DO THE FOLLOWING: 1) You can do this portion with only one other party member. It's only when T3 is present with a second party member other than the main character where the issue seems to arise. 2) Open the cheat console and type 'warp' without the 's and hit enter. This will force you out of the cutscene. Walk forward a little until the door shuts and then you can fight the Rakghoul as normal. 3) You can leave weak Hendar to his fate and bypass the issue altogether. Thank you to N-DReW25 for pointing this out!

I won't ever *not* do the military base last, but I appreciate the fact that you offer that option with your mod! A cool add-on that also works with K1R for all restored content enthusiasts.

Technically, tga textures are the same format in both games so dropping "N_RepSold.tga" into the override should do the trick, that "N_RepSold.txi" file on the other hand... probably won't work. @Dark Hopewould have to fix the txi to work in TSL should the texture not work. Other than that, she would need to make a texture for the male Republic Soldier helmet NPC, female Republic Soldier NPC, the TSF male and female NPCs and maybe even the male and female Republic and TSF Officer NPCs. Also, I think this mod (if you rename the male Republic Soldier texture right) can work with JC's Female Republic Soldier fix mod: Not even change the names, just outright drop the tga into TSL and you're good.
