I have a better idea as I have been working on a port of K1 to K2 for quite some time now, I will release it here when it's actually ready. Play my port of KotOR1 to KotOR2 https://github.com/Thor110/Expanded-Galaxy-Port Though I will say, it isn't finished yet and is FAR from perfect, still quite buggy.

It’s all good, you’ve done the lords work and I am happy I get to play kotor with controllers like I did on the original xbox when I was 9 or 10. The buttom prompt stuff isn’t super necessary in my opinion, the only real issue I can see is the bugs you pointed out on future planets, and the UI issue for controllers. I have close to 0 skill with any of this but I can try and learn and help where I can. Also, even though the devs who made space marine 2 are working on “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic”, this is, for me, is recapturing my childhood magic. I always hated playing the kotor games on m/k, it never felt right to me. i’ve purchased kotor 1 and kotor 2 on ios and android, bought them on xbox, bought the physical disks & bought them on steam for $0.99 each, and the mobile ones were the best versions for me because both ios and android have mod “support” (every mod like tslrcm/kse) fun fact for anyone who stumbles across this, you have to use itunes to move files into the directory for either game and virtually every mod that works on the pc version also works on IOS. And if it works for ios, it works for android

Even TSL says left click with controller support, but I think that it can be added in, it would just have to be a completely different dialog.tlk file. I am trying to keep things as vanilla as possible while also expanding and enhancing the game, so that's a no from me, but you can always mod it in yourself, people are free to release mods for my mod too. Yeah, there are still a number of issues for me to fix, as I mentioned don't expect perfection just yet! But I would say it's 99% complete. Changing all of the UI was difficult enough and required hexediting the executable to get a number of specific things to change colour. It's also possible to swap between playing K1 & K2 under the same installation, which I felt was necessary. The selection screen does have a flickering highlight and new items have a green/yellow border. I had to overcome a lot of obstacles to get it this far, there are quite a few cutscenes that need fixing up, the first level needs reworking to include the special messages for each class and fixing the cutscenes, on Taris, the cutscene with the Hidden Beks is broken, the Rancor is broken, Malak walks off after being defeated during the ending. Oh, the current release has a broken version of the Naga Sadows tomb level, but it is fixed in the repository. Feel free to post any issues you encounter in the WIP thread for the project or on my Discord server. Hopefully with a few more years I can make it perfect! But there's still a lot left to be desired. EDIT : Unfortunately the tokens for the buttons don't work like they do on console, but it could be manually written in. ( "<abutton>" etc ) When I get around to programming a proper launcher, I could potentially add a tickbox that swaps between dialog lines specific to using or not using a controller, but that's a long way off. There's a lot of things that are more important left for me to work on unfortunately, but I would like to get around to doing everything eventually.

True! But that is a totally different breed of mod! Looks so damn good too!!!!!!!

Nothing compared to how long another much anticipated modification has been brewing. 😁

I can appreciate that updating the lightmaps to better ones is a pain. I was merely pointing out that I had the impression the perhaps the original work was not that good.

Yeah, I didn't do anything with the lightmaps. Someone was going to take a look at them for me but they haven't got around to it, it might be possible for me to paste parts of the lightmaps from the K1 levels, but figuring out which tiny blotch of pixels to copy across would take a while.

Well, for my own purpose (installing of the mod manually) I was very grateful for the presence of the m35aa.git changes in the .ini file. Would you mind terribly telling me how Holopatcher can do the associations without . ini instructions? Thanks! EDIT: Oh and one more question: is it just my impression or the added rooms have a bit of a darker atmosphere? I'm mostly talking about illumination. When moving into those rooms I literally see a little less well. I added a couple of pictures to illustrate. The situation is particularly evident in two of them. Notice how there is a clear and abrupt passage from practically no illumination and light on surface under the archway in the second picture on the path into the last room (the blue arrow indicates it).

It's 100% something I forgot to remove, though the HoloPatcher doesn't do anything with it so all it's doing is occupying space in the zip file.

Ah, I guess that's probably been fixed now then! My bad. It could all use a little more work but I was unsure on how to handle some things, such as the Arch which I didn't repair as there was no rubble from it, so I figured that it is possible that it was damaged prior to the events of K1.

The file has been updated.

I've given it a good go, by no means perfect... I've posted it as a full release in the Skins section. (Pending Approval)

KotOR 1 & 2 Texture Analysis So, after noticing this mod I decided to have a look around and see if there are any other textures in the game that got smaller in the second game and I came across a few oddities as well. It seems some actually textures are smaller in the first game and larger in the second game, while some are larger in the first game and smaller in the second. https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1330-kotor-1-texture-to-kotor-2-game-bridge Thanks to @Malkior for making a start on this and discovering some of the textures that got smaller in TSL. The fact that Manaan has a bunch of OLD textures was pointed out by @N-DReW25 Early Access Release This includes all the textures and bump maps I have found so far. I also removed the alpha layer from the Hutt textures which was causing the transparency in Malkior's release. KotOR2 K1-To-K2-Bridge.7z KotOR1 K2-To-K1-Bridge.7z I felt like all of this was worth documenting as it appears I will have to go through and compare every texture in both games. Switch Anomalies As pointed out by @N-DReW25 there are some anomalies with the Switch version of the game worth making note of. Textures To Remake - ( COMPLETE ) What I have discovered so far manually by chance. I get the feeling that going through this will have to be a group effort, there's no way I can compare all of the textures in both games myself, I have automated the majority of the work but the remaining files in "Not-In-Both.7z" need to be compared manually or piped through an AI model if possible. Textures That Have Bump Maps But Don't Use Them It seems these textures actually have bump maps which are not assigned to them in the associated .txi file, I have set up .txi files for them. When I am finished looking through all the textures and comparing everything I will release a mod that updates everything accordingly. Textures Meant For The Original Xbox File Analyses Comparison Results - ( COMPLETE ) This is a complete analysis and comparison of all files in both games swpc_tex_tpa.erf packages. KotOR1 : 3285 Files KotOR2 : 3275 Files It does not however take into account things such as the following. Textures that might exist throughout either game at different resolutions and with different filenames. In order to determine if any textures exist at different resolutions, the following lists of files must be compared manually or piped through an AI if possible. Files From K1 Not In K2 ( 1757 Files ) Files From K2 Not In K1 ( 1780 Files ) Files That Are Identical But Have Different Filenames ( COMPLETE ) - [ Left is K1 - Right is K2 ] - [ K1 : 231 Files] - [K2 : 206 Files ] Identical-Different-Filenames.7z The following lists of files couldn't be converted to TGA with Xoreos Tools, but could be extracted as TGA using KotOR Tool. As far as I can tell all that exists that is of interest amongst these lists is an old incomplete version of "LMA_tech01" Files From K1 That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA And Don't Exist In K2 ( 6 Files ) Files From K2 That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA And Don't Exist In K1 ( 8 Files ) Files That Are Identical In Both Games That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA ( 3 Files ) As for determining if any textures exist in either game at larger resolutions than one another, I think that has to be inspected manually using the same lists, or possibly could be handed off to an AI model. Files That Are NOT Identical But Exist In Both Games - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 145 Files ] Not-Identical-Release.7z These 145 files are some of those that will need inspecting and comparing manually. Files That Are Identical In Both Games - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 1225 Files ] Files Not Included. Files From K1 Not In K2 - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 1757 Files ] "Not-In-Both.7z" at the bottom of the post. Files From K2 Not In K1 - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 1780 Files ] "Not-In-Both.7z" at the bottom of the post. Files From K1 That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA And Don't Exist In K2 - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 6 Files ] K1-Didnt-Convert-Xoreos.7z Files From K2 That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA And Don't Exist In K1 - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 8 Files ] K2-Didnt-Convert-Xoreos.7z Files That Are Identical In Both Games That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 3 Files ] That's everything, now between us all we just need to look through the files that aren't in both games to see if any textures exist at different resolutions like I and others have pointed out that don't use the same filename. NOTE : I accidentally left "M37aa_02_a0004d.tga" in "K1-Not-In-K2" just delete that one file, saves me reuploading 265mbs. I found it as I have "Identical" folders for both games, this is also how I found the Extra TXI files listed below. Not-In-Both.7z K1 has some TXI files K2 does not, as does K2 which are included below. Extra-TXI.7z I believe that covers everything, but let me know if you spot anything I missed!
