======================================================== KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC SOURCE FILE ======================================================== New_Lightsaber_Blade_Model_K1_v1 ================================= Author: Crazy34 Contact: PM me on Deadlystream For: K1 Date: 03/02/2021 ================================= DESCRIPTION: The vanilla lightsaber blades in Kotor and TSL look bad in my opinion. So, I tried to improve them by adding a dynamic ambient light to the blade (environmental lightning), which works quite well. Since this is hard-coded in the model I also optimized the blade plane models to have a different UV layout inspired by Sithspecter's work. I also simplified their geometry and fixed the different brightness bug (different brightness of the blade when viewed from the front compared to the back). Additionally, I included 3D models for the core of the blade and the inner glow of the blade, which can now be used to create black core sabers as seen in SWTOR. The glow - as well as the models - are fully animated to work as the vanilla blades. The hilts are updated together with the blades including hilts from Kaidon Jorn's SLM 2.0 mod. Summary: - All saber hilts are updated with hilts from Kaidon Jorn SLM 2.0 mod (I love it!) All credits for the hilt models, textures and icons go fully to him! - Ambient light for lightsabers - 3D models for blade core and inner glow - Symmetric lightsaber blade planes with a modified version of Sithspecter's crossguard saber UV layout. (Compatible with his unstable textures also included with all credits going to Sithspecter.) - Black core sabers are possible - Homogeneous brightness of the blade (no more “brighter blades when viewed from the front” happening any more) - All sabers are fully upgradeable (added black core and unstable crystals as well as crossguard versions of them) How to use the new lightsabers: Get the black core, unstable and crossguard sabers or crystals by cheating them by using the giveitem command or use KSE to include them in your inventory. The item codes are organized as follows: Lightsaber and crystal follow the standard naming scheme: Black core: 51-60 Unstable: 21-30 Crossguard: 101-110 Crossguard, black core: 111-120 Crossguard, unstable: 91-100 For example: giveitem u_l_colo_51 (Blue, Black core crystal) giveitem u_l_colo_92 (Red, unstable crossguard crystal) giveitem g_w_lghtsbr118 (Viridian, crossguard unstable lightsaber) giveitem g_w_dblsbr025 (Purple, unstable double blade lightsaber) giveitem g_w_shortsbr53 (Green, black core short lightsaber) For the TSL colors such as Viridian, Silver, and Bronze; you can get the crystals with the following giveitem codes. giveitem u_l_colo_07 (Silver) giveitem u_l_colo_09 (Viridian) giveitem u_l_colo_10 (Bronze) !!!! Important: If you put a crossguard crystal in either a short lightsaber or double blade lightsaber the crystal will be transformed into its normal non crossguard version! I HOPE that in the future some talented texture artist will create better looking blade textures using these new blade models. I plan to upload a Modders Resource explaining the blade system in detail. CREDITS: Kaidon Jorn: Lightsaber Hilts models and textures and icons are created by Kaidon Jorn and taken from his SLM 2.0 mod, which you can find here: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/551-schematic-lightsaber-mod-slm/ Thank you very much for the permission to use your models and hilts here. They are amazing and I enjoyed working with them. Sithspecter: The new layout for the lightsaber blades plane models are inspired by Sithspecter's animated Crossguard Lightsabers mod for KOTOR which can be found here: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1314-crossguard-lightsabers/ Thank you very much for the permission to include your animated unstable blade texture and to modified them to include the new TSL colors. ___________________________________________________________ COMPATIBILITY: It should pretty much be compatible with any mod that doesn't use the same crystal and lightsaber model slots. However, please notify me in the release thread if any bugs do appear that are not listed below.) ___________________________________________________________ INSTALLATION: Use the TSLPatcher multiple times. You can choose which lightsabers you want. So, for example say you are only interested in the normal saber update and the related crossguard sabers: Then install the standard saber first and second run the TSLpatcher again and install the crossguard sabers. The crossguard sabers require to have their related non-crossguard sabers installed first. The TSLPatcher is set up to only install a certain part of the mod and requires multiple runs to install all sabers. It should install everything correctly. UNINSTALL: Navigate to the backup folder and place the contents into the Override folder. Remove all files from the tslpatchdata folder of this mod from your override folder. ___________________________________________________________ BUGS: The tip of the blade has a spike which comes from a deformation of the lightsaber planes. This is also present in the original model. I was not able to find a fix. (Sorry about that.) The lightsaber hilts will clip through the blades. (Unfortunately, DarthParametric has said that it is not possible to fix this.) ___________________________________________________________ PERMISSIONS: You may use this mod as you see fit. Display it in screenshots, make it compatible with your mod. However, do please give credit where it's due, and DO NOT release it with any of your mods without my permission. If you have any ideas for improvements, or if you want to you can mod them yourselves and include them in the mod. Saves me time and I'll give you credit for what I put in. ___________________________________________________________ THANKS: Fred Tetra: All the thanks for KotOR Tool. TK102: All the thanks for K-GFF. ndix UR: All the thanks for the kotorblender plugin, which I used to create the blade 3d models. bead-v: All the thanks for Mdledit and constantly updating it. Without it this mod would not be possible. Thanks also for the comments on the ascii code. Kaidon Jorn: All the thanks for giving me the permission for using the hilts textures and icons. With these included this is a real mod. Thank you so much. Sithspecter: All the thanks for giving me the permission to include his animated blade textures and to modify them.

Random Widescreen UI Fixes by Sdub Version: 1.0 Description: I saw some issues reported with the top right UI bar with @ndix UR 's widescreen UI. I then realized I had the problem also. Upon inspection the black background was not properly fitting to the squares. I have no experience UI editing so I was at least able to do trial and error editing the texture. You may notice there is one pixel length at the bottom of the black square. This is a UI issues and I cannot fix it. The sides and top are fixed at least. Also included is a fix for the Force Power arrows on the character portraits. THIS WAS TESTED WITH 1920x1080 ONLY, I'm not sure how it will be with other resolutions. The Head in screenshot of arrows is from one of @Effix 's mods Installation: Extract files to override Uninstallation: Delete files placed in override Compatibility: This mod is compatible with any mod as long as it doesn't already replace these files. K1R Compatible: Yes Tools Used: paint.net Big thanks to the KOTOR Modding Discord & Deadlystream Discord

Chodo Habat and pals were strong-armed out of their control of the Restoration Project before they could complete their work. This means that some key components for a healthy ecosystem were never imported from Dxun, such as water and physics, leading to some funky model errors. There are streams with invisible water, floating leaves, floating rocks, illusory rocks, UV errors, and one hole in the ground exposing Telos to the great void. Let's give our Ithorian friends a hand. Installation: There are two versions of the mod available to download, one of which has been made for compatibility for users with High Quality Skyboxes installed. Download the 7z file for the version of your choice, and extract to your game's override folder. For Steam installations, this would be "Steam\steamapps\common\Knights of the Old Republic II\override". 7z files can be extracted with Archive Utility on macOS, or with programs like PeaZip on Windows and Linux. If you are upgrading from a previous version of the mod, be sure to remove that "Telos_Model_Repairs" folder from your override after installing the new version. If you are using the High Quality Skyboxes compatible version of the mod, make sure to remove 231teld.mdl and 231teld.mdx from your installation of High Quality Skyboxes in the override folder to ensure you see all changes made. Kexikus has generously allowed me to incorporate the necessary model changes from High Quality Skyboxes into the compatibility version, so that these mods may be compatible. If you installed High Quality Skyboxes via Steam, you can find the relevant mod files at "Steam\steamapps\workshop\208580\2312186259\override". Uninstallation: Remove "Telos_Model_Repairs" from your override folder. Included Files: Compatibility: Users should expect full compatibility with any other mods, so long as they do not modify/replace the above models and walkmeshes. High Quality Skyboxes works alongside the compatibility version of this mod. Texture mods that do not alter the above models are fully compatible with either version. Some other great, compatible mods for Telos to check out are Telos surface 4k Retexture by coremar, TSL ORIGINS - Telos Overhaul by Jorak Uln, and Kotor 2 Unlimited World Texture Mod by facemeltingsolo. Acknowledgments: I would like to thank Symmetric, Purifier, Ndix UR, and seedhartha for making importing to Blender simple using KotORBlender, and Cortisol and Fred Tetra for making file extraction easy with the Holocron Toolset and KotOR Tool, respectively. I would also like to thank Kexikus for allowing me to merge the necessary changes to makes this mod compatible with High Quality Skyboxes.
