Nice mod! I have long used Darth_Sapiens' texture after properly renaming the file and was very happy with it but now I will check out SH's recolored version as well. Thanks!

Coming off of my first major project, K1 Companion Sidequest Rewards, my focus is still on gameplay/design enhancements for the first Kotor. Something that struck me during my most recent playthrough is how unimportant/tacked on skills feel. This next project's goal will be to further imbed skills into K1's gameplay, validating INT/Sent/Skill focused builds as a more meaningful choice for players. The outline for this project builds on the awesome work by @jc2 and their Improved Grenades mod. For the other skills, I have the following ideas (ascending rank in terms of perceived difficulty): Computer Use → "Unlocking" T3-M4's ability to act as an upgrade bench (ala my Sidequest Reward mod) Treat Injury → Swapping Canderous Implants (ala TSL) Repair → Custom skill challenge with T3-M4 to create unique items: Dual Wieldable Stun Batons Lightsaber variants (Reg/Short/Double) Unique Droid Items for T3-M4/HK-47 Recreate Revan's "Original" lightsaber Persuade → Make all* merchants adjust their prices based on persuade skill Awareness → Swap out all Sith assassin encounters ("Malak was most displeased...") with: Create some kind of trigger that initiates a cutscene/dialog Spawn in Sith assassins during scene, framed as though they came out of stealth If Awareness (per current party member) is less than X, they lose half their health Regular dialog/Regular combat (Potential; Spawn in more assassins based on player level/difficulty) I have a sense on how to approach all of these ideas except the last one...creating custom encounters is totally out of my current understanding. As always, if anyone has any tips/comments/warnings on any of the above, I am eager to hear them.

View File Darth Sapiens’ T3-M4 HD 2k [Ported to Kotor 1] A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Authors: N-DReW25 1.0.0 Release Date: 11.05.2022 Description: On the 21st of February 2015, Darth Sapiens released his T3-M4 HD 2k reskin mod to Deadlystream.com (http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/514-darth-sapiens-presents-t3m4-hd-2k/). In the years following his release, Sith Holocron recolored Sapiens’ texture for the other astromech droids in the game /( https://deadlystream.com/files/file/971-refurbished-astromech-droids/) What we didn’t know is that Sith Holocron recolored the T3-M4 texture for his own personal uses as he was attempting to get closer to the coloring seen in the original “vanilla” T3-M4 texture. Sapiens’ original mod can only work in K1 if the player renames the original texture (and the associated TXI file) to the K1 name structure. To quote from Darth Sapiens’ original mod page: "this is a t3m4 skin I have had in the works for a little while now, my usual rules apply, use this however you'd like but give me credit and a PM, all the disclaimers and stuff apply. thanks obsidian and bioware, NO thanks Disney." With this is mind, I have decided to publish Sith Holocron’s modified version of the T3-M4 HD 2k mod for Kotor 1 in particular. All the credit goes to Darth Sapiens for making the original mod. (Please see Credit section for additional credits.) Installation: For Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic - Extract all files into the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic/Override folder. Uninstallation: Take it out again. Known Bugs: None known at this time. Credits: This mod would not have been possible with Darth_Sapiens' mod so primary credit belongs to him. Oh . . . and credit to Sith Holocron for the recoloring and responding quickly to my questions about this mod. And the screenshots! Additional Mod Suggestions: If you like the look of Sapiens’ mod, may I recommended to you also download and install Sith Holocron’s Refurbished Astromech Droids mod? (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/971-refurbished-astromech-droids/) Unlike this mod, no renaming was required for that mod. You’ll have the added benefit of Darth Sapiens’ design being standard through the game. This of course is optional. Of course, you may prefer Sapiens’ coloring of T3-M4, especially as some of you have been using that texture in TSL for years. That seems fair to me! In that case, I recommend you download Sapiens’ mod (linked above) to your desktop and do the following: - First uninstall this mod - Rename P_t3m4_01.DDS to P_t3m3_01.DDS - Rename P_t3m4_01.txi to P_t3m3_01.txi - Rename PO_PT3m4.tga to P_pt3m3_01.tga - Rename PO_PT3m4.txi to P_pt3m3_01.txi - Move the renamed files and the remaining unnamed files in that folder to your Override folder.

Thank you, that's good to hear! If I understand your question correctly, LSF_EHawk01.tga and LSF_EHawk.txi should still be left in Override when you're done. They're the textures that reskin the Ebon Hawk on the Star Forge. The end goal is just to make an extra copy of the reskin that is appropriately named so that my new models will use it. There isn't anything special about LSF_EHawk01 versus the other planet-specific copies, I just chose it to have something concrete for the instructions.

I'm a staunch vanilla player and like my mods least intrusive as possible but still enough of a mod that gives the game some new life. I've always liked Rece's Upgradeable Robes but it's an old mod by today's standard, but I like what it adds to the game. I also really like this newer mod by @PirateofRohan that reorganizes the robes in-game into "tiers" allocating one pattern to basic/knight/master along with the layered contrasting color schemes. The unfortunate thing is that they don't mix well together! Both mods running will limit the variety of the Three-Tiered robe choices and I'd like to keep them. Is there way (or better yet, someone) to make a mod the fully incorporates these two elements together without it conflicting? I've contacted both authors of the mod but I don't think any of them wants to bother. I would definitely love this option if it were made though!

Thanks for jumping in, Thor110. This will probably be the cause and solution for the typical user with this issue. If you have been to Yavin previously, the game loads the old waypoints, placeables, etc. from the saved game rather than the updated ones in the module GIT. The original exit will still be there, too, so it shouldn't break the module. You just won't be able to get to the hangar before it sends you back to the Ebon Hawk. That would definitely do it. 🙂 Glad you were able to figure it out.

I had this happen on K2 at first when I ported it and on K1 when I first installed it to test it, such an awesome addition to the game, I think it was because I had possibly been there in that save before. So that might be something worth considering. I loaded an earlier save in K1 and warped there and it worked fine. Thor110
