View File Party Conversations on Ebon Hawk KOTOR features several conversations between party members which occur as you explore the various planets. Unfortunately, it is easy to miss some of them if you rarely use certain combinations of characters, such as Carth with Canderous or Bastila with Jolee. This mod moves these conversations to the Ebon Hawk and the Taris apartment hideout similar to KOTOR 2, guaranteeing that you can see nearly every conversation in a single playthrough. Conversations which directly refer to Taris are set to take place while you are still there, while the remaining conversations will occur in semi-random order up until (or possibly slightly after) the Leviathan sequence. Aside from the change in location, I have also made some slight edits to the conversations themselves, mainly relating to the timing of character animations. By default, conversations will also still occur on the various planets like in the vanilla game. They will only occur at the Ebon Hawk/hideout as required to catch you up on any that you may have missed. I have also provided an option to make the conversations happen only at the Ebon Hawk/hideout, never out on the planets. If you are using version 1.1 or earlier of this mod, a rare issue has been reported where the conversation in the Taris apartment after the swoop race does not play like it is supposed to. If this happens to you, I have provided a hotfix for download which may be used with existing installations. The separate hotfix is not required if you are installing version 1.2, which already includes the fix. Thank you for downloading, and I hope you enjoy this mod! ------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION Run INSTALL.exe and select either the standard version or the KOTOR 1 Community Patch compatible version. If you would like the conversations to take place only at the Ebon Hawk/hideout, run INSTALL.exe again and select "OPTION: Ebon Hawk/Hideout Only". If you have other mods installed, it is normal to see warnings that ebo_m12aa.mod and/or tar_m02af.mod already exist and have been skipped. ------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPATIBILITY This mod is compatible with the KOTOR 1 Community Patch (K1CP) and incorporates its fixes to k_pebn_pophawk.ncs. It has not been tested with the KOTOR 1 Restoration (K1R), but in theory it should be compatible. It is not compatible with any mods that edit k_pebn_pophawk.ncs or banter.dlg. For best results, install this mod after K1CP, K1R, or any other mods that make significant edits to the Ebon Hawk interior or to the Taris apartment hideout. ------------------------------------------------------------------- CREDITS NWNSSCOMP by Torlack and tk102 DeNCS by JdNoa and Dashus K-GFF by tk102 DLGEditor by tk102 TSL Patcher by stoffe and Fair Strides ERFEdit by stoffe and Fair Strides Kotor Tool by Fred Tetra This mod includes fixes to k_pebn_pophawk.nss which were developed by the K1CP team. This mod was inspired by the following mod request thread on Deadly Stream: https://deadlystream.com/topic/5684-party-member-conversations-in-apartment-and-ebon-hawk-k1/. Thanks to everyone who participated in the original thread for their discussion, which provided a major source of inspiration. ------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION HISTORY 1.0 - Initial Release 1.1 - Revised installation process and options - Revised the walk scripts in the Mission/Bastila conversation so that they do not need to be compiled during installation - Adjusted the camera angles the Mission/Bastila conversation - Adjusted the conditions for determining when conversations play before and after the Leviathan sequence - Added an extended fade to hide the party fading out and reappearing when entering the Ebon Hawk or Taris apartment - Revised implementation of edits to tar02_bastvision.dlg to reduce incompatibilities with other mods that edit the same file (i.e. K1CP 1.10). - Cleaned up and clarified comments in the script source files 1.2 - Added additional conditions to the Taris apartment entry script to prevent a rare issue where the vanilla conversation after "rescuing" Bastila did not occur. Thanks to PoopaPapaPalpatine for reporting the issue and testing the fix. 1.2.1 - Added additional conditions to the Ebon Hawk entry script to prevent a rare issue where the cutscenes before landing on Dantooine for the first time did not occur and the game softlocked. Thanks to CapitaineSpoque for reporting the issue and testing the fix. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER AND PERMISSIONS This modification is provided as-is and is not supported by Disney, Lucasarts, or Bioware.

Hey everyone, long time lurker, first time poster. So, who else other than me has always found the weapon and armor mods to be a little lack luster? I know that for a typical playthrough of the game on anything other than hard doesn't usually need them, but for players who do play on hard, the mods can make a difference... So why then are there so damn few of them? Like, just as an example, blaster mods, there are no mods to increase unstoppable damage, which means that disruptors encountering shields can only have their tiny chip damage count as all of the energy damage is stopped by the shield, making them basically useless. Or what about lightsabers, there likewise are only a handful of upgrades, very few tiers, and most everything needs to be found. So this mod I'm making aims to fix that, as best I can anyway. I'm still learning, but I have managed to create two new items and implemented them with the TSL Ultimate workbench mod in order to allow the player to craft them. I do hope to be able to implement it as a base game addition for those who don't have that and I'd also love to put them into the loot table, if I can figure it out. Mestare Crystal: +2-16 unstoppable damage +3 to attack Keen In lore, the Mestare crystal was a crystal used to create melee weapons and were used in the construction of lightsabers, creating blades that were capable of cutting through materials normally resistant to energy, like Cortosis, hence the unstoppable damage. Mestare Crystal.zip Cortosis Plating: Effectively, energy shielding Mark 5. Damage immunity: Energy 50% Damage Resist: Energy 10% Defense +1 I'm kind of amazed that no developer over at Obsidian didn't think to name or describe what these overlays were made of or doing, but I guess given the time crunch, it's fair. This is effectively the fifth stage of the energy shielding mod, equipable to armor of all weights. If you add the upgrade file from the archive, it should let you make it on the workbench, requiring 36 in demolitions to make, so it's very much a late game addon. I still haven't figured out how to adjust the component cost yet. Cortosis Plating.zip Durindfire Gem: Unique Silver Color Crystal +2 Universal Damage +1-6 Fire Damage +2 to Attack Durindfire Gems are found in abundance in the sands of Tatooine. They are actually so common there that the locals view them as junk and not worth anything. Truth is though that the gems actually make for excellent lightsaber crystals and are quite valuable on the Galactic market, with the Galactic Empire collecting and trading them to help fund the Death Star project. They also create a bright silver blade when used. It took me a bit of studying, but I finally figured out how to have color crystals add bonus effects to a lightsaber, so enjoy! Durindfire Gem and Lightsaber.zip Lignan Crystal: Dark Side Focusing Crystal +3 Attack +4 Energy Damage Regenerate Force Points +2 Damage Vs Light Side +4 Restricted to Dark Side The Lignan crystal is a powerful lightsaber focusing crystal made from Lignan ore, found in the Phaegon system. The ore itself is strongly attuned to the Dark Side and can be used to create crystals which enhance a darksiders power. It is addictive and can only be used by dark side wielders. I did encounter a minor bug when crafting the crystal where for some reason a second one appeared in my inventory and didn't stack with the first one. Wasn't hurting anything so I let it go. Lignan Crystal.zip Ulic's Redemption: Unique Yellow Color Crystal +2 Attack +2 Strength +2 Dexterity +2 Wisdom Regenerate Force Points +2 Damage Vs All +3 Universal Defense +2 Energy Damage +1-10 This crystal was owned by Ulic Qel-Droma in the waning years of his life after he was stripped of the force by Nomi Sunrider and went into self imposed Exile. It speaks of his journey from jedi to sith to nothing and contains his wisdom and experience gained in his later life. It's obviously a very powerful focusing crystal and as such currently has the highest skill requirement to craft at 40 Awareness. Personally, I would want to find this as a drop from the loot table, as a unique loot item, like it's intended to be. Ulic's Redemption.zip Current: Hoth Permafrost Crystal In lore, this crystal was only found on the planet Hoth, in the Anoat sector. The Anoat sector was actually in the Mandalorian wars, so it being in this game is possible. I was planning on making it so that the Crystal was a color crystal with stats, but so far, despite getting the game to recognize that it's a blue lightsaber color crystal, it doesn't seem to add any of the included stats to the weapon. Still troubleshooting that one. TO DO: I fully plan on adding more things in, like for example, I have in mind to create some robe specific overlays, cause that empty slot is annoying me. I also plan on adding in a wealth of new lightsaber crystals and weapon mods to flesh things out a bit more in the crafting tree. If anyone wants to help me figure out certain things, like adjusting the component cost or adding them to the loot table, I'd appreciate it ^^
