Something's gone wrong with the Ebon Hawk. Not only are sparks flying out of its panels every which way, but those sparks look less like sparks and more like Pac-Man's power pellets. Most likely because the spark objects in the local geometry are not making use of the same effects technology the rest of the game's sparks are, namely motion blur for that streak look. This mod takes fixes up the sparks used in the game's prologue to use the same technology as the rest of the game, for a stronger look more consistent with the rest of the game, while retaining all of the same intention as the original ones. For clarity, this is not a texture mod, but a model one. It is compatible with any texture mods of your choice. Check out the included video below to see the differences. spkeff.mp4 Installation: Download the .7z file and extract to your override folder, found in the same directory as your main game executable. For Steam installations, this would be "Steam\steamapps\common\Knights of the Old Republic II\override". You can open .7z files with programs like Archive Utility on macOS, or by downloading free programs like PeaZip on Windows and Linux. Uninstallation: Remove the folder "Spark_Effect_v1.0" from your override. Compatibility: Users should expect full compatibility with any other mods, so long as they do not modify/replace the files listed below. This mod is compatible with "Ultimate Ebon Hawk Repairs".
