    This add-on is a fork of KotorBlender, upgraded to support newer versions of Blender. KotorBlender is in turn based on NeverBlender, forked from version 1.23a. ## Features - Import & export MDL models, including walkmeshes - Import & export LYT files - Import & export PTH files ## Installation 1. Clone this repository or download the latest release of KotorBlender from Deadly Stream 2. If you have cloned the repository, create a ZIP archive containing the **io_scene_kotor** directory 3. From Edit → Preferences → Add-ons in Blender, install the add-on from the ZIP archive and enable it by ticking a box next to "Import-Export: KotorBlender" 4. Alternatively, if you want to contribute to KotorBlender, you may want to create a symbolic link to the local repository in the Blender add-ons directory, typically located at `C:/Users/{user}/AppData/Roaming/Blender Foundation/Blender/{version}/scripts/addons`. 1. `mklink /D io_scene_kotor {repo}/io_scene_kotor` ## Usage ### Data Preparation Extract models, textures, walkmeshes, LYT and PTH files into a working directory, using a tool of your choice, e.g. reone toolkit. Recommended directory structure: - *data* — extract all BIF archives here without subdirectories - *texturepacks* - *swpc_tex_tpa* — extract swpc_tex_tpa ERF archive here If you plan to edit textures, batch-convert TPC to TGA / TXI files using **reone toolkit**, although TPC textures are also supported by KotorBlender. ### Model Import and Export 1. Import via File → Import → KotOR Model (.mdl) 2. Select top-level MDL root object to be exported 3. Export via File → Export → KotOR Model (.mdl) ### Editing Animations To edit list of model animations and corresponding events, select MDL root object and navigate to Object → KotOR Animations. KotorBlender supports both object and armature-based edits. To create an armature from objects, navigate to KotOR Animations → Armature and press Rebuild Armature and Apply Object Keyframes. Before exporting a model, make sure to copy armature keyframes back to objects by pressing Unapply Object Keyframes. ### Lightmapping 1. Select objects for which you want lightmaps to be recreated, or unselect all objects to recreate all lightmaps 2. Press KotOR → Lightmaps → Bake (auto) UV mapping: 1. Select objects having the same lightmap texture and enter Edit mode 2. For every object, ensure that `UVMap_lm` UV layer is active 3. Select all faces and unwrap UVs via UV → Lightmap Pack, increase Margin to avoid face overlapping Fine-tuning: 1. Increase lightmap image size via UV Editing → Image → Resize 2. Tweak ambient color via Scene → World → Surface → Color 3. Manually toggle rendering of objects in Outliner and press KotOR → Lightmaps → Bake (manual) 4. In Scene → Render, set Device to GPU Compute to improve performance, set Render Engine to Cycles if not already 5. In Scene → Render → Sampling → Render increase Max Samples to improve quality ### Minimap Rendering 1. Press KotOR → Minimap → Render (auto) 2. Open "Render Result" image in Image Editor and save it as "lbl_map{modulename}.tga" 3. Open "MinimapCoords" text in Text Editor and copy-paste generated properties into module .ARE file using any GFF editor Fine-tuning: 1. Tweak background color via Scene → World → Surface → Color 2. Manually toggle rendering of objects in Outliner and press KotOR → Minimap → Render (manual) ### Connecting Rooms 1. Select a room walkmesh 2. Enter Edit mode and select two vertices adjacent to another room 3. Determine 0-based index of the other room into the LYT file 4. Enter Vertex Paint mode and set brush color to (0.0, G, 0.0), where G = (200 + room index) / 255 5. Ensure that brush blending mode is set to Mix, and brush strength is set to 1.0 6. Paint over the selected vertices ### Editing Paths 1. Extract PTH file from the module's RIM file, e.g. "modules/danm13_s.rim" (Kotor Tool, reone toolkit, etc.) 2. Import PTH into Blender via File → Import → KotOR Path (.pth) 3. Create/move path points, or modify path connections via Object Properties 4. Export PTH via File → Export → KotOR Path (.pth) ## Compatibility Known to work with Blender versions ranging from 3.3 to 4.0. ## License GPL 3.0 or later

    Those of you familiar with Party Model Fixes by redrob41 know it is a cool mod that fixes up some of the game's models for your K1 party members. Cool enough that I figured it was time for a sequel -- we are going to do even more fixing up of our compatriots: Carth: His unique outfit has a holster which hung by some leather that was missing a texture on one side, rendering it invisible from certain angles. This fixes up that issue, alongside some bonus texture mapping fixes to his opposite pouch and jacket, including the collar fix that redrob41 worked on in their original mod. Zaalbar: Our wookiee friend had some hairs that went missing depending on the angle, again due to missing textures on the opposite sides of some geometry. This fixes that right up, alongside some other messy texture mapping for some of his fur. Jolee: Sometimes Jolee likes to just hang out in a swim suit, socks, and... some kind of bizarre ankle brace. I could not tell you what it does, but it is unlikely to be doing its job given that it disappears when viewed from the other side. This fixes up another classic case of one-sided texture syndrome, and makes some small improvements to texture mapping. Mission: Originally Mission was set to just use adult models when wearing various armors, likely due to time constraints. Therefore, I have made some alternate armor models more suitable for a kid to use. These are just edited versions of the vanilla models, with similar texture mapping, so it is all very vanilla-looking and compatible with any texture mods. This will add the new models to your game and set her appearance.2da row to use them. Her unique models in vanilla are fixed up less noticeably to reflect the changes, and include similar texture mapping fixes to the arms that redrob41 did. This mod is intended to be installed after redrob41's Party Model Fixes, but does not require it to work. All changes will be applied immediately, and do not require that you start a new game. Installation: Download the included .7z file and extract it anywhere of your choosing on your computer. You can unzip a .7z file with tools such as Archive Utility on MacOs, or by with free programs like PeaZip on Windows and Linux. Simply run this installer, directing it to the location of your main game folder with the executable. For Steam installations, this would be "Steam\steamapps\common\swkotor". The installer is an .exe file, which Windows can run natively. Mac and Linux users might consider checking out Cortisol's HoloPatcher -- a new tool that is meant as a cross-platform alternative to traditional KotOR mod installers. Alternatively, executable files can be run on Mac or Linux with programs using tools such as Wine. If you are having trouble with either of those options, I have included some instructions for manual installation in the download's "ReadMe" file. If you happened to have previously installed another mod which placed an appearance.2da file in your override folder, the installer will give you a warning reporting as much upon completion. This is of no concern -- so long as you get no other warnings or errors, the mod is installed correctly and ready-to-go. The mod will overwrite any conflicting model files (.mdl/.mdx) in your override folder, but not any appearance.2da file it finds there, merely edit the existing one. Be sure to back up anything you want to keep ahead of time. The Included Files list below contains all the files that will be installed to the override folder. Uninstallation: Delete all of the files listed below from your override folder. If you had an appearance.2da file in your override folder prior to installing, you can find a backup version in the mod's "backup" folder, which was automatically created during installation, and place that in your override. If you are unsure whether or not a previous mod had put that file there or not, it is better to make use of the backup. Included Files: Compatibility: This mod is fully compatible with any mod which does not replace any of the model files (.mdl/.mdx) listed above. Files that edit appearance.2da are compatible so long as they do not change Mission's armor model cells. If you intend to install Party Model Fixes by redrob41, I recommend doing so before installing this mod, or what you install here will be overwritten. Expect compatibility with most any texture/reskin mods -- so long as they do not replace models (.mdl/.mdx files) as well as textures, there should be no conflict. Acknowledgments: Thanks to seedhartha, NdixUR, Symmetric, and Purifier for making importing to Blender simple using KotORBlender, and Cortisol for making file extraction easy with the Holocron Toolset. I would also like to thank Stoffe and Fair Strides for making inter-mod compatibility infinitely more feasible with TSLPatcher.

    Cue the Korriban monastery in KotOR. The charming place where Malak's foul-mouthed underlings train, aspiring to one day achieve Bandon levels of douchery. Despite all their shortcomings, I did always like the militarized aspect of the Sith they had in place. This mod alters relevant characters all over the planet, following a sort of dress code, almost. Students wear standard uniforms while away from the academy (though most still do wear them inside as well), with higher ranked Sith having more distinct uniforms themselves. Anyone expecting to break a sweat, or hopefuls seeking to gain prestige like Yourself are dressed in battle-ready robes. There's some further details - Czerka officers wear the company drab; the bay mechanic switched to more comfortable working clothes; female Twi'lek residents dress modestly now (as supposed? Very likely a mistake, as they had actual clothing equipped but their appearance was the identical albeit static alien one); crazy hermit Jorak Uln has a tattered old uniform; A redeemed Yuthura will now ditch the Sith outfit in favor of simple clothing... I upgraded all lite Sith appearances to albino, including Hijata (whose dialogue I chose not to restore). Citizen lite models were not upgraded, better turn to another mod for that such as K1 Lite Upgrader by @AFP. Other than this, I took the liberty of minimizing the dreaded "clone effect" since it's especially egregious on Korriban, having up to 5 instances of the same head in the same module and at times a few feet from each other. Also, it turns out in respect to Korriban that plenty of files are a proper mess. Included are fixes for various inconsistencies, appearance type oversights, misgendered npcs (thus restoring some gender specific dialogue; thanks to @ebmar about the Tariga finding - Tariga Gender on Tamlen DLG Fix), wrong soundsets, and blank inventories/feats/spells. Install & Compatibility Run the TSLPatcher. Ignore any warnings about skipping .mod files. Patching this on top of K1CP might result in odd incidents such as duplicate drops and merged appearances from both mods. In case I needed to say it, other mods overhauling characters on Korriban aren't 100% compatible, most notably JC's Korriban: Back in Black for K1. This mod only works with the English version of KotOR.

    JC2 PRESENTS KILL MARLENA On Tatooine, Marlena decides it is O.K. to murder her husband. While the PC is either oblivious to this, or acknowledges it, yet still does nothing about it. This is wrong. Being ignorant or merely not understanding a psychotic woman is understandable, but for those who chose the dialogue option "it sounds like you are going to kill him!" Then, it becomes apparently obvious that a mod is needed to fix this lame interaction into a character developing moment. You can either bring justice to the outer rim by killing her, as a Jedi. Or you can cut her down, because she assumed you to be a low life thug. Or even, simply because she reminds you of your ex-girlfriend who broke your heart and you need compensation from a video game to express the full extent of your "feelings." You poor thing. Nevertheless, there are 6 total response the PC can have to this situation. 5 Darkside responses leading to death. 3 Lightside responses/outcomes Added an additional force persuasion option, it'll make you laugh! Therefore, if you are not sure if you'll go darkside or lightside, you will still benefit from downloading this mod! Also, you can inform Tanis (her husband) of his wife's condition. Either alive, dead, or gone, etc... See readme for full disclosure on the mod, including how to get the most out of it. ------------------------------------ I hope you enjoy! Please give any feedback, even negative! I need it to improve. Recommend downloading Ebmar's Marlena Venn Legends reskin to improve the experience. ------------------------------------ Credits: Fred Tetra for KT and Stoffe for his tslpatcher Deadlystream.com for hosting this mod.

    I confess. I really like how the character Malak. And I fell in love with it after reading the comic book Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Especially touched when he sacrifices himself for the unfamiliar girl. Malak revealed as heroic, romantic, good-looking young man. We all know what happened to him and made the dark side of the sword Revan. And then Malak lost any hint of attraction. It is not right! I made an alternative texture for the dark lord. I have long thought, how to give it a more attractive appearance. And I'm very happy with what we got. For me it looks manly and attractive, even with the injury suffered.
