Cathalan Improvement Project By OzilsEyes What started out as a learning tool for myself, actually turned into quite a fun project... CATHALAN! Orange returns (Sorry!). I was really eager to brush up on my TSL modding skills, I'm fairly new to modding in general. I'd downloaded Cathalan and tried it years back, realising I could never complete it & it was just a buggy mess. When I started working on it, I couldn't believe my eyes (not because of the brightness of the orange either!). It needed a LOT of TLC. It really had the potential when Jaevyn first released it, it was a new planet, new quests, new characters, new items... but, it was let down by the amount of bugs and to an extent, incompletable content. I think I've now got it to a state, where it's actually a viable mod to add to your playthrough, If you've never actually completed the story, please take the time to do so, it's actually got quite a cool ending, which I enjoyed the first time I played through it after finally fixing half the quests. I firmly believe the community is driven by great ideas & great mods, the original creator, once had a great idea & tried to make it work. I don't know the history of Jaevyn or Cathalan, I know it's had it's rough patches, example: copyrighted music. In this post, I'll run through all the changes I have made, there may be spoilers to please, read at your own discretion. Now compatible with: TSLRCM M4-78EP Coruscant: Jedi Temple Mod Expanded Galaxy Mod Compatibility install with TSLRCM, M4-78EP & Coruscant will update the galaxy map to include 'Cathalan'. As the game restraints are 16 planet slots, this is not possible with the Expanded Galaxy Mod. To get around this, I have added an additional NPC who spawns on the Ebon Hawk, he has a shop (different items based on main story progression), medical table, some lore & fun dialogs. SM-K1 (Definitely not named like this because it looks like an abbreviation of my dogs name: Smokey) On the expanded galaxy compatibility install, go to the security computer on the ebon hawk, choose 'Device Memory', a cutscene will occur where SM-K1's hologram will appear: He will give you a list of uncharted planets, one being Cathalan which you will be able to travel to. Installation: Please note: You do not need to have the original Cathalan installed to play this mod, if you do have it installed do not worry just run the installation as normal. Download the package, unzip & run the holopatcher.exe Options: 1. Install Cathalan Improvement Project - Compatibility with the base game + TSLRCM + M4-78EP 2. Install Compatibility with Coruscant: Jedi Temple Mod - Compatible with use with Coruscant: Jedi Temple Mod 3. Install Compatibility with Expanded Galaxy Project - Compatible with Expanded Galaxy Project Choose your preferred option, then let the installer run. Start up your game. It's advised to start a new game BUT it should be compatible with existing saves. Uninstallation: Holopatcher will back up your files when installing, you can use the installation / backup folder to re-place your old files. Fixes, changes & additions General Improvements: Quests: Level specific improvements: 451CAT - Keralt High Level 452CAT - Keralt Middle Level 453CAT - Entertainment Promenade 454CAT - Keralt Lower Level 455CAT - Warrior Base 456CAT - Wyvern Base 457CAT - Eastern Dark Lands 458CAT - Matterson District 459CAT - Western Dark Lands 460CAT - Outsiders Enclave 461CAT - The Crypts 462CAT - Keralt Sector 51 New load screens: All the old load screens were (terrible) not great, so as part of the release I'd created new upscaled versions, they're all 2048x2048, relevant to the area & look a lot better. Please note: These are subject to change, I've updated a few already since release. Overall, working on the project was very fun, it gave me a good insight into modding KOTOR TSL, which is what it was intended to do. I decided to share the project as it's actually quite a fun playthrough, it gives you the benefit of a few extra levels, some credits, items etc. There is so much more I would have loved to do with this but I didn't want to change it too much other than fix the bugs and add a few things. Please, if you do like the changes I've made or the work that has gone into the project, drop me a comment/message. React to this mod / show appreciation Most of all, use it! Have fun!

UPDATE: Shoulder-plate clipping issue with the model has been fixed! Description: I've always been a fan of Deadman's "Movie Mandalorians" mod that was released for K2/TSL and I loved the aesthetic of it, but was disappointed that no equivalent was released for K1. I have ported his models for the three main ranks of regular Mandalorian NPCs that appear in-game for K1 (Mandalorian "warriors" in blue, "captains" in yellow, and "elites" in red), and have used the alt textures for them created by Mcfly because I felt they were closer to the original textures. However I've included the actual textures from Deadman's original mod as well, for anyone who would prefer to use them. To be clear, the models and textures for specific NPCs such as Canderous and his rival Jagi, as well as additional weapons added in Deadman's original mod, are not included in this mod. For now I would recommend using other mods for those things. Installation: Just run the TSLPatcher the direct it to your game file. To install the original textures used by Deadman, install the main mod with TSLPatcher first and then just copy the files from the "Deadman's Original Textures" folder and paste them in the "Override" folder. To Uninstall: Remove the files from your Override folder and add the backup .2da file to it Compatibilities: This mod will be incompatible with any other mods that edit the textures and/or models of the armored Mandalorians but otherwise there shouldn't be any issues. Permission & Distribution: Anyone is welcome to use my models and textures, just please ask first and be sure to give me credit. Thanks to: Deadman for the models and Mcfly for the textures, which I've always preferred since I felt they were closer the the ones used in-game, and Effix, Thor110, and DarthParametric for giving me advice from time to time concerning the porting of models and assigning of textures, as well as additional modding advice from N-DReW25.

In an attempt to salvage some material from the now defunct SW:KotOR Upgrade project, I have decided to share this modification with the community. This file is meant to replace the original dialog.tlk that comes with the original game. It is meant to be used exclusively with the English version of the game. It is technically compatible with every other modification that alter this same file by patching it, provided this is installed first. Two versions are offered: one that includes only corrections and a revised one that includes most of the changes found in the PC Response Moderation modification by Kainzorus Prime. Enjoy!

A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Author: N-DReW25 1.0.0 Release Date: 14.11.2024 Installation: Simply click on the HoloPatcher.exe, click install and sit back and watch the HoloPatcher do its magic. Description: In the first Kotor game, the Korriban Sith Academy had two inaccessible rooms that were locked behind static doors (meaning you can't interact with them). Throughout the Kotor games, there are many static doors that lead nowhere. These doors exist to imply that the levels are bigger than what they actually are... you just don't get to see the full area. If you were to use mods to open these statics doors, in most cases you will find that there is no room behind these doors as the developers didn't intend for those doors to be opened, the same is true for the Sith Academy's two hidden rooms. In the second Kotor game, you revisit Korriban and get to see the areas you travelled through five years after the first game. Obsidian added two new rooms behind the previously inaccessible doors that led nowhere in the first game, a Library and a Teacher's Dormitory. For over 15 years, player's have known that a Library and Teacher's Dormitory canonically existed behind the static doors of the Sith Academy in the first game but couldn't do anything about it... until now. At the end of 2024, the modder Thor110 ported the Library and Teacher's Dormitory from the second game to the first and released it as a modder's resource. And using this modder's resource, I have made the Complete Sith Academy mod for K1. The Library and the Teacher's Dormitory from the second game has been populated with objects and NPCs to make these areas "fit in" with the visual aesthetics and the environment of the first game. The NPC Tamlen has been moved into the Library whilst the Sith Teacher with Tamlen has also been moved to the Teacher's Dormitory, the dueling Sith Students and the Sith Teacher overseeing them have also been moved to the room outside the Academy to prevent a bug where you can hear the clashing of Lightsabers from inside the Library if they kept in their original location. Sith Students have been added to the Library who study on the computers there, making them inaccessible to the player, and Sith Students have also been added to the Teacher's Dormitory alongside the Sith Teacher already in there. The Footlockers you find in the second game CANNOT be opened, but I have added new Footlockers and other objects you can open to the Teacher's Dormitory alongside a Workbench. You can expect to leave the Korriban Academy with some rare, albeit weak, items you wouldn't have received otherwise. There are no custom made NPCs or side quests added in this mod, I wanted the new rooms to "fit in" with the rest of the game. I know other modders DO intend to make mods that adds the new Academy rooms like this mod, except their mods will have some form of side quest content. If they do develop and release these mods then those mods will probably be incompatible with this mod - when that time comes, you may have to choose between their mod & this mod. Known Bugs: If you click on the Sith Students on the computers too much, they stop doing their "typing" animations. This mod shouldn't have any bugs but if you find any please report them to me on Deadlystream. Incompatibilities: To be added! Permissions: Please speak with me if you wish to use this mod in your mod. Alternatively, you can download Thor110's modder's resource and use Holocron Toolset to add your own placeables to the module thus bypassing needing to use my mod as a base. Thanks to: Thor110: For making the amazing Sith Academy Missing Rooms modder's resource to begin with, without you this mod wouldn't exist! Obsidian Entertainment: For adding these new rooms to the second game! Bioware: For such an amazing game! Fred Tetra: For Kotor Tool! th3w1zard1: For HoloPatcher and the Holocron Toolset!
