Short story: Repeating blasters were originally intended to give the user an additional attack in every round of combat (like twin-blade melee weapons do). This mod implements that effect. I.e. a character without force speed would normally do 1 attack when using a repeater, 2 when using rapid shot as well. Now, 2 attacks will be done when using the default attack and 3 when using rapid shot. Long story: After investigating in 2015 what could be the reason for repeaters costing more (500 vs 300) credits while having a worse crit range (5% vs 10%) than blaster rifles while having no advantage whatsoever, I found out that repeaters were originally intended to give the user an additional attack per round, sort of making them the double-blades of the blasters. Sadly, this was never implemented, as one internal item comment even comments on. I didn't know enough about scripting back then and quickly lost interest in fixing this. But now, more than 3 years later, it's finally fixed via scripting, placing the required code in the k_ai_master script. Known issues: Due to hardcoded mechanics, power blast can never do more than 1 attack, and sniper shot never more than 2. Normal attack appears to usually only do 2, but may rarely do 3 when using force speed as well. Sadly, these cannot be changed without access to the game code. This information turned out to be incorrect, and the user Darg727 made a fix for this. However, this has a downside: It works by making power blast and sniper shot always shoot 4 shots regardless of how many attacks are available, which looks very strange because all shots that don't have a corresponding attack round are auto-misses. For example, using a sniper shot with a blaster rifle or single pistol will cause 4 shots to be fired simultaneously, like a shotgun blast, with 3 of the 4 automatically hitting the floor/ceiling/wall. Using knight speed would allow 2 of those 4 to hit and only 2 would be an auto-miss, etc.... As per Darg727's upload permissions, I have included the responsible file (weapondischarge.2da) as an optional mod in the download for additional visibility for those people that might want to use the feature but would not come across his modification otherwise. Compatible with any mod that does not edit the k_ai_master.ncs file, and incompatible with any that does. (However, it is easy for any modder to add the compatibility, source is included.) Note that this fix works for both the player and enemies! This can make some fights of the game slightly more challenging.

Darth Talon Pack [1K] A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Author: Bullobrien, 90SK and N-DReW25 1.1.0 Release Date: 19.01.2022 Installation: Simply click on the TSLPatcher.exe, select your option, click install and sit back and watch the TSLPatcher do its magic. Uninstallation: Depends on what you've chosen to install. Copy the files within the generated "backup" folder and place the file inside your modules folder, make sure you overwrite. Description: * Late 2006, Levi Davis (aka nineball) released the first Darth Talon mod for K2 as a playable head for females. * In 2007, Prime released his Darth Talon mod which replaced Yuthura Ban with Darth Talon. * In 2008, DarthParametric released his Darth Talon mod which replaced Mission Vao with Darth Talon. From about 2009, a third modder named Bullobrien began his own Darth Talon mod; completing the final texture in 2011. But, he was unable to properly setup the TSLPatcher or the associated 2da files and so he passed on the files to a modder named 90SK sometime between 2012-2015 and gave him permission to complete the project. In 2021, a decade since the texture was made, with collaboration with N-DReW25, the fourth Darth Talon mod was born. * Some of you new to Star Wars might be thinking "Who is Darth Talon?" Darth Talon was from the, now Legends, Star Wars: Legacy comic series. Darth Talon was a member of Darth Krayt's new Sith Order around 137 ABY, she is famous in the Star Wars Community as being the red Twi'lek with black Sith tattoos covering her body, head, and lekku; in a similar design to Darth Maul. She was trained by a fellow Twi'lek Sith named Darth Ruyn, whom she later killed on Krayt's command with a decapitating strike of her lightsaber. * What does this mod do?? Option 1) Darth Talon Player Head: Adds a playable female head in the form of Darth Talon, replaces the player's underwear and clothing to Darth Talon's attire. Option 2) Mission Vao as Darth Talon: Replaces Mission Vao's appearance with Darth Talon, gives her two red Short Lightsabers, makes her 25% Dark Side, changed her class to a Jedi Sentinel and gives her a handfull of basic Force powers, nothing else is changed. Option 3) Yuthura Ban as Darth Talon: Replaces Yuthura Ban's appearance with Darth Talon, replaces Yuthura's Sith Officer's outfit with Darth Talon's attire. All textures are in 1K resolution, providing the most high detailed Darth Talon mod to date in a Kotor mod.

This mod was inspired by Shem's Realistic Visual Effects from way back when. For those of you who don't remember, Shem's mod removed speed blur, glowing hands during melee attacks, force wave and sparkly healing animations. I've decided to take things a step farther and remove everything that could be considered unrealistic, such as: - the brief green glow that occurs after being poisoned - anything visual associated with friendly powers (valor, force resistance, shield, etc.) - glowing or smoking hands when using certain powers - the shield-like stasis effect - swirling white lines indicating confusion - the black 'scorch' effect that appears on the ground after some explosions (which is realistic, admittedly, but looks like hell) - the 'goo' effect that appears after smashing Kinrath eggs (which is also realistic, but, much like the 'scorch' effect, looks horrific in-game) - animated scopes (power blast, sniper shot, etc.) Why do something like this? Personally, I can't stand the glowing, sparkling and otherwise silly or ugly visual indicators in KotOR. This sort of thing might be useful for anyone looking to create machinimas... which probably aren't a thing anymore, but oh well. I've also included a couple optional extras: a blank texture that replaces the blue nebula thing - which can be seen during a variety of in-game cutscenes and typically looks pretty bad - and also a reworked camera. The edited camera definitely isn't for everyone, but to me it looks more modern without going totally overboard. I've adjusted it so that there are no differences between the default, combat and Ebon Hawk camera angles. This probably isn't compatible with other mods that alter 'visualeffects.2da' or 'spells.2da'. I don't use K1R, so I'm not sure whether or not there are any conflicts. It will work with the Community Patch, however, but you must install my mod afterwards. And finally, a huge thanks to Fred Tetra for his KotOR Tool. Enjoy.
