This mod makes the spacesuit and diving suit faceplates transparent so that you can see the head of the character wearing them, as opposed to the opaque faceplates on the vanilla suits. There is also an option to install only the diving suits, if you prefer the spacesuits to keep their mirrored vanilla faceplates (similar to real spacesuits). I have also made the following edits to the suit models: - Adjusted texture UVs to hide texture regions that appear unfinished. - Added a bright texture to the squares on either side of the faceplate (which were apparently intended to look like lights but instead appeared reflective in the vanilla game). - Added light beams and in-game light sources to the diving suit to simulate helmet-mounted floodlights. (I have also included an option that does not have these lights if you prefer.) - Added a new environment map for the spacesuit which approximates the surroundings during the spacewalk. I have also included two optional variations: - No Diving Suit Floodlights - Omits the diving suit's new floodlights - Less Transparent Spacesuit Faceplates - Reduces the transparency of the spacesuit's faceplate, if you prefer a more mirrored look but would still like some transparency. The diving suit is not affected by this option. Please note that if you are using a non-vanilla player head, the diving suit and spacesuit will default back to the vanilla-style mirrored faceplates. See the "Compatibility" section below for further information. IMPORTANT: A save from before exploring the Manaan seafloor for the first time is required. Thank you for downloading, and I hope you enjoy this mod! ------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION Run INSTALL.exe and select the install directory for your game. Select which version of the mod you would like to install from the drop-down menu at the top of the window, and click the "Install" button. The "Full Install" options make changes to both the space suits and the diving suits, while the "Diving Suits Only" options only affect the diving suits. IMPORTANT: - Select one of the "K1CP 1.10+" options if you are using KOTOR 1 Community Patch (K1CP) version 1.10 or higher. If you are using K1CP 1.9.2 or lower, use one of the "General" options. - Select one of the "K1R" options if you are using the KOTOR 1 Restoration (K1R) with the option "Party on the Sea Floor". If you are using K1R without "Party on the Sea Floor", use one of the "General" options. If you would like to use the "No Diving Suit Floodlights" or "Less Transparent Spacesuit Faceplates" options, select the corresponding option from the drop-down menu after the main installation is complete, and click "Install" again. This mod includes the Windows version of HoloPatcher for installation. If you are running on Mac or Linux, you can find the appropriate versions of HoloPatcher here, along with the latest Windows version: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2243-holopatcher/. This mod requires HoloPatcher version 1.5.2 or higher of HoloPatcher. If you have other mods installed, it is normal to see warnings that some or all of the following files already exist and have been skipped: - appearance.2da - heads.2da - lev40ad.mod - manm28aa.mod - manm28ab.mod - manm28ac.mod - manm28ad.mod Selecting the "Diving Suits Only" option will still install the UV fixes and new environment map for the spacesuit. If you do not want these changes, delete the following files from Override: - UV Fixes: spacesuit01.mdl, spacesuit01.mdx - Environment Map: P_WaterSuit02.txi If you would like to edit the scripts in this mod for personal use, please note that most of the provided script source files cannot be directly compiled because they include 2DA memory tokens, placeholders which are automatically replaced by appearance.2da row numbers when compiled during installation. Running the installer and selecting the option "MODDING TOOL: Build Script Source" will save copies of the source scripts to the subfolder "temp_nss_working_dir" within "tslpatchdata" with the necessary appearance.2da row references automatically filled in. ------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPATIBILITY This mod is compatible with the KOTOR 1 Community Patch (K1CP) and the KOTOR 1 Restoration (K1R). Note that if you are using K1CP 1.10 or higher or K1R with the "Party on the Sea Floor" option, you must install the appropriate option as described in the "Installation" section above. It is not compatible with any mods that alter the following files: - k_plev_airouopn2.ncs - k_pman_airlock02.ncs - k_pman_airlock03.ncs - k_pman_airlock11.ncs - k_pman_starmap05.nss - k_pman_starmap02.nss (K1CP 1.10+ installation option only. K1CP itself is, of course, the exception that is compatible.) This mod's edits to m28ad_01a.wok are sufficiently minor that overwriting this mod's version with one from another mod will not cause any significant issues. For best results, install this mod after K1CP, K1R, or any other mods that make significant edits to: - The walk speed of the space/diving suits - The module with the Leviathan spacewalk - The Manaan seafloor or undersea base modules This mod is compatible with reskins and texture mods that affect vanilla heads. It will not conflict with mods that edit the MDL/MDX files of vanilla heads, but the changes to the head model will not carry over to the head seen inside the spacesuit. Similarly, due to the nature of a work-around used by this mod, any mods that edit the Star Map MDL/MDX will not affect the Manaan Star Map. Mods that reskin the Star Map are compatible. Due to the way this mod is implemented, the environment suit faceplates will still be opaque if you use a non-vanilla player head. If you would like to see a non-vanilla head in the spacesuit, I have included instructions for making the new head compatible with this mod. For further information, please see "Instructions to Add New Heads.pdf". ------------------------------------------------------------------- LIMITATIONS AND KNOWN BUGS The new lights on the diving suit do not equally affect all objects, likely due to game engine limitations. If you are using the compatibility patch for the K1R "Party on the Sea Floor" option, your weapons will not be reequipped automatically when you reenter the underwater base. This is a work-around for a bug where party members were somehow still able to use blasters underwater to shoot the Firaxan sharks. Apologies for the inconvenience. ------------------------------------------------------------------- CREDITS KotorBlender by seedhartha tpcview and tga2tpc by ndix UR NWNSSCOMP by Torlack and tk102 DeNCS by JdNoa and Dashus K-GFF by tk102 HoloPatcher by Cortisol and th3w1zard1 ERFEdit by stoffe and Fair Strides Kotor Tool by Fred Tetra Thanks to Nehua for suggesting an option to keep the mirrored faceplates on the spacesuits. Thanks also to Salk for suggesting an option with intermediate transparency. A big thank you to th3w1zard1 and Cortisol for their time and effort spent upgrading HoloPatcher to be able to compile all of the scripts in this mod. Vanilla scripts are based on the K1CP team's repository of unaltered, decompiled vanilla scripts (found at https://github.com/KOTORCommunityPatches/Vanilla_KOTOR_Script_Source). This mod makes use of the script function CP_RemoveForceSpeed developed by the K1CP team. The K1R-compatible version of k_pman_airlock11.ncs/nss includes edits originally developed by the K1R team. Similarly, the K1CP-compatible version of k_pman_starmap02.nss includes edits developed by the K1CP team. ------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION HISTORY 1.0 - Initial Release 1.1 - Added option to install only the diving suits (suggested by Nehua). 1.2 - Added option to reduce the spacesuit faceplate's transparency (suggested by Salk). - Applied spacesuit environment map with a TXI file instead of a full TPC to improve compatibility with mods that reskin or upscale the original texture (also suggested by Salk). 1.3 - Added work-around for the Star Map to render properly when seen through the diving suit faceplate - Revised suit bubbles to more closely match vanilla behavior - Revised inner suit geometry around neck - Adjusted head motion during walking and running animations - Added code to Manaan airlock scripts to clear Force Speed before going out to the seafloor (vanilla issue originally documented by the K1CP team) - Streamlined the K1R installation process - Switched installer to HoloPatcher to improve cross-platform installability. Special thanks to th3w1zard1 and Cortisol for their substantial efforts to improve HoloPatcher's script compiling ability. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER AND PERMISSIONS This modification is provided as-is and is not supported by Disney, Lucasarts, or Bioware.

1 pointI have released version 0.5.0 of my NPC Diversity Pack! Before version 0.5.0, the players (you) had to install the mod several times over to get to experience the full mod. These 3 TSLPatcher installations were named as if they were mods and each had unique features... the "Diverse Galaxy" mod swapped out NPC heads, the "Fashion of the Old Republic" mod swapped out clothing and armor items and "Lite of my Life" upgraded Lite NPC appearances. In version 0.5.0 onward, the Fashion of the Old Republic and Lite of my Life mods have been merged with the Diverse Galaxy mod meaning you'll install the Diverse Galaxy mod ONCE and you'll get the features of Fashion of the Old Republic and Lite of my Life... this should make the installation process easier! This mod shall still have optional installations as of 0.5.0, the "Sounds O' Plenty" mod that changes NPC soundsets still exists and I've added a 2nd optional mod called "Diverse Weapons", the Diverse Weapons mod shall swap the weapons of NPCs to diversify the weapons they use. No longer shall every weapon use a Blaster Rifle and Pistol, they might use Blaster Carbines, Heavy Repeating Rifles, Ion Blasters, Sonic Rifles etc. And do keep in mind the NPCs will NOT drop these items, they are merely aesthetic in nature. Future plans! I make this post mainly to share some future plans I have for the NPC Diversity Pack going forward, I've created quite a few mods for this NPC Overhaul Series so much so that I don't want to "clutter" Deadlystream with my future NPC mods so I've decided to take two mod concepts and add them directly to the NPC Diversity Pack instead. My 1st mod idea is this... Davik's bodyguards are quite annoying, there are about 20 of them in his Estate yet only 7 unique UTC files exist for them meaning you might see 5 clones in a single area. A way I thought about fixing this was to replace them with Gamorreans, they make logical sense lore-wise as Gamorreans and gangsters go together like butter on toast and most importantly we won't have to worry about the clone effect as Gamorreans all look the same anyway. This will have to be tested as that'd mean ALL of Davik's Guards would be forced to use Melee only meaning the player could literally be chased through the Estate if the player is overwhelmed. My 2nd mod idea involves the Jedi, I'm sure we're all familiar with this image down below: If from the NPC Diversity Pack, though my mod idea would have these guys removed. In their place I'd have EVERY single Jedi NPC wear the default Jedi Robe item, this will effectively remove the Nemo and cut Jedi Council Robe models from the game. This idea was made primarily for compatibility reasons with future NPC mods I make involving the Jedi. With the successful release of the Hearts of Beskar mod, I'm currently deciding which NPC faction I'll make a dedicated mod on... I do have plans for the Jedi, but I believe having Jedi NPCs wear the default Jedi Robe items would be the best blank slate for them instead of what I have thus far. And my 3rd idea, if it works out, shall totally revamp the NPC Diversity Pack. As with the before mentioned Davik's Guards, many NPCs in Kotor suffer the problem where there exists 20 or so NPCs in one module but only 7 UTC files exist resulting in clones. Unlike the first two ideas which could be added to the Diverse Galaxy installation, this idea would be its own separate installation as it seems a bit too far extreme for the NPC Overhaul style Diverse Galaxy installation. Let's say an area has 20 NPCs but only 7 UTC files, that means inside the GIT file there are multiple NPCs sharing the same "TemplateResRef" tag in each STRUCT... this is what causes the cloning effect. This idea is more of a 'fix' for that, instead of 20 NPCs with 7 UTC files sharing those 20 STRUCTS I'll instead create 13 new NPCs bringing the number of UTC files to 20. I'll then go through the GIT file and add my new UTC files to the STRUCTs ensuring the 7 vanilla UTCs remain though the remaining 13 STRUCTs that previously cloned the 7 original UTCs will now have their own unique NPC occupying the TemplateResRef. If you aren't a modder, you might not be able to understand what I mean by this... so let me tell you how this will look in-game? Places like Anchorhead and Ahto City have this problem where the module has 10 or 20 commoner NPCs but will have anywhere between 2 to 7 UTC files thus resulting in clones. With this GIT fix, every single commoner file shall be unique which will allow to diversify these areas even further than what I've already done in the NPC Diversity Pack. Let me know what you guys think, I'll be sure to share screenshots when I'm further into development!

WARNING : THIS IS A MODDERS RESOURCE NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH THE GAME! Modder's Resource - Topaz GigaPixel AI Upscales - Source These are all of the second games textures upscaled by Topaz GigaPixel AI. While they are intended for use eventually with my overall project, for the time being I have handed them off to a texture artist to clean up beforehand, after which they will also be released for the standalone game as well. It was also suggested to me that I should upload them here as a Modder's Resource and backup for people to use when repainting any textures for the game. So here they are. The images shown aren't from the game, but they are the only reference imagery I have to show the upscaling in action. All TXI files as well as the few textures that had issues being upscaled in their own packages. -

I will continue to provide examples that I think might be useful to people, these are all for TSL so far. I hope these tutorials and any others I write will help people continue to make mods for KotOR 1 & 2. These tutorials are getting shorter and less detailed, I may or may not go back and re-write them at some point but if anyone struggles with anything feel free to message me and let me know what I haven't covered very well. Feel free to join the Discord for my project if you need help with anything related to KotOR modding and I will do my best to assist. Discord : https://discord.gg/S3YyfTjMV8 Base Game Scripts & How To Use Them KotOR Modding - Crash Course This 2 hour stream covers the basics of KotOR modding and some of the programs involved, I also regularly stream development of my mod project on Twitch/YouTube. Not all of this covers KotOR modding, there is about 10-20 minutes during the first hour where I get distracted and the second hour of it is mostly me playing games. These are the testing rooms but for K1 the room is lacking a texture but I find this just makes it easier to look through the characters. If anything in any of my short tutorials isn't clear or you don't understand for some reason then let me know and I will do what I can to help. ADVANCED TUTORIALS Utilising the following batch scripts and suggestions might take a while to get to grips with for some users but I would always advise doing so, it's very handy to have the ability to quickly generate a file list or compare things in various ways utilising the power of batch scripting. Comparing Level Contents Let's say you have two levels and you need to compare the differences of the contents. Extract everything from the original level to a folder called "level-a" and the modified folder to "level-b" Run the following batch script inside the "level-a" folder. file-list.bat Then delete or move the .bat file and move "file-list.txt" that it just created outside of the folder. You can also use this script to check that all the files exist. check-if-file-exists-from-file-list.bat You will have to move the file-list.txt and this script inside the folder to run the script. Now run this script at the same location as "file-list.txt" to run a file check against the contents of both folders. compare-files-from-file-list.bat Hopefully this might help someone, where I recently had to transfer all of my changes from manual installs to a TSLPatcher changes.ini file, I found this process helped speed the process up a little bit. From here, you should know which files differ and you can then use ChangeEdit.exe that comes with TSLPatcher in order to generate the differences between GFF files. Compiling Scripts If you have made it this far into the tutorial, you should already be familiar with compiling scripts, however for large projects you might need to recompile a lot of scripts at once, so here is a batch script that I used to do it. compile.bat Simply edit the script so that it points to the location of nwnnsscomp.exe for you and then you will be able to put the script into any folder that you need to compile a lot of scripts in and use it to do it all at once. If the scripts don't work for you, you might need to edit them and read them a bit in order to understand them and then to make sure that you have all of the right files in the right places. Thor110
