When I used to play TSL on the xbox as a kid, I would spend hours in the Enclave Sublevel wondering what it would be like if it was cleaned up and restored to a functioning Academy where Jedi would live and train. Playing Jedi Outcast and seeing Luke's Jedi Academy and all the students training was incredibly amazing to see and helped to inspire my hopes for the Enclave sublevel. After I got my feet wet modding with some recruitment mods, such as getting T3-M4 early and recruiting HK-47 on Taris, and learned my way around the various modding tools available, I began work to restore the Sublevel as a central hub for a resurgent Jedi Order to train a new generation. So far, I have cleaned up all the debris from the sublevel, evicted the Laigreks, placed additional dormitories, created a holo communications room similar in function to what we see in Revenge of the Sith, as well as dedicating one of the rooms as a functioning Medical Bay. Presently, I am working on transferring the scripts that the Mandalorian recruits on Dxun use when sparring to have Jedi Padawans be dueling with lightsabers at set intervals in one of the rooms that I will dedicate as a training area. I plan to place holocrons within the Jedi Archives and training holograms that can either be sparred with directly or used as instructional vids for younglings. My ultimate goal would be for this to be end game content, with a light side player arriving on Dantooine to meet a Twilek who used to maintain the Enclave when the Jedi were around and he offers his help in restoring what he worked for years to maintain before the bombardment. Modules on Dantooine beyond the sublevel could also be changed to reflect the Jedi's presence on the planet again, with training missions to take out Kath Hounds, helping settlers, what have you. I have so many ideas and many may be beyond reality but I wanted to announce this here and see what people's thoughts were and if they had any ideas on what they would be interested in seeing. One thing that is presently beyond my abilities is restoring the Enclave main level to a functioning state via the removal of the large stone debris and changing the module to reflect areas that were present in K1 such as the landing area. It's definitely something I'd like to include, but I will need to learn more as I dive into fulfilling this childhood dream of mine. As a side note, I've begun thinking what a restored Sith Academy would look and function like so its possible this could be all be wrapped into an 'Academy Expansion' mod of some sort.

I've been using the KotOR Toolset to get coordinates and then placing them via the git files. I have not run across the Level Editor before but downloading it now. Toolset has been invaluable but as I'm sure you know it is fairly limited in several areas. These force cage UTPs in particular have not been synced up yet, but normally I ensure placement is precise and in line to the smallest decimal. Hopefully Level Editor will help alleviate some of that work.

Good point! Here's a early look at the Enclave Holding Cells. Plan to add relevant terminals with a droid attendant and large footlockers for their belongings. Our murderous friends from K1 will enjoy their accommodations.

Phew, found it -- I suggest you to look at that post to learn more about armor classes [only that's relevant on your current attempt] -- it's just I can't explain it any better than JC to be fair [dang, better had that one bookmarked, really].

Because the body texture columns in appearance.2da specify a variant base name, not a discreet texture name. The specific variant is specified by the UTI, or failing that it defaults to the 01 variant.

Lashowe, from the Sith Academy on Korriban. Successfully ported in Sith robes from Kotor 2 as well

No, you have the right method, that's not the problem. First thing is to confirm that the game is actually reading your edited file. Try setting a class's level 1 feats to some other number and checking it in character creation. Secondly, check you're changing the right values. Scoundrel feats are the column 'scd_reg', and note that the level is the 'label' value, not the row number (because 2das are indexed from 0, not 1).

Do you plan on having contingencies for what characters or companions show up there based on what the player's choices were and/or who they decided to train or will it just include everyone as a jedi who had the potential? Also would it work differently if the player went dark-side?

I had forgotten about the total conversion issue. I wasn't sure if this mod was k1 or k2 but either way it'd be a welcome addition

Congrats! 🍻 Depends on what armor you use with the relevant NPC/UTC. Assuming that Lashowe's equipping a Dark Jedi Robe, yes -- "i" class' the one to be edited to make it worked. So if you make her equip Verpine Fiber Mesh that is--correct me if I'm wrong--"e" class [modele/texe] she'll have clothes changed to that then. Unless, you change what's in there to n_lashowebb -- she'll wear the robe instead. I suggest you to just keep what you're doing right now by having same looks with all class armor particularly for unique NPCs with dedicated appearance row. I believe that will save you from trouble going forwards, as I practiced that as well and all seem going fine so far. There are rare exceptions that'll want you to not doing that. For example, at a module you want her to equip the robe, and with the next one she wear Basic Clothing -- but that's another story to dig in.

Thanks for the info! Compatibility will be a huge consideration considering the scope of this project and its potential impact on more modules than just the sublevel. Thanks for sending this! using your existing resources will definitely help clear up points of confusion I have had. Looking through your modding tutorial series now to pick up anything I haven't learned yey.
