Description This mod is based on a K1 mod released by HouseOfAmon in about 2006, and now largely forgotten. It allows you to play your own music in-game, through a device called Music Player. Activating this device allows you to play one of 25 tracks of your own, or to return to playing the game's default music. It will do this via a dialogue menu. I've made a couple of improvements over the original: 1) This mod allows you to use 25 tracks, instead of 20; 2) This mod allows you to reset to the game's default music whenever you want, using the 'Play local radio' option (n.b.: 'Known Bugs', below). You can cheat the item into the game using the code 'giveitem di_mp3' without the quotation marks, or you can get it in game from your footlocker on the Endar Spire. Installation Installation of this mod comes in two parts. 1) Use the TSLPatcher .exe included to install the base mod (i.e., double click 'Install TSL MP3 Player', then click 'install mod', etc.) 2) Adding your tracks to the game: i. Select up to 25 tracks that you have on your computer. These *must* be in MP3 format. ii. Copy the tracks to a new folder. iii. Rename these copies Track1.mp3, Track2.mp3 ... etc., up to Track25.mp3 iv. Copy the renamed files to your StreamMusic folder inside the base game folder. Uninstallation 1. Delete the new tracks you added to your StreamMusic folder. 2. Delete the following files from your Override folder: di_mp3.ncs di_mp3.uti di_mp3p.dlg di_mp3p_1.ncs di_mp3p_2.ncs di_mp3p_3.ncs di_mp3p_4.ncs di_mp3p_5.ncs di_mp3p_6.ncs di_mp3p_7.ncs di_mp3p_8.ncs di_mp3p_9.ncs di_mp3p_10.ncs di_mp3p_11.ncs di_mp3p_12.ncs di_mp3p_13.ncs di_mp3p_14.ncs di_mp3p_15.ncs di_mp3p_16.ncs di_mp3p_17.ncs di_mp3p_18.ncs di_mp3p_19.ncs di_mp3p_20.ncs di_mp3p_21.ncs di_mp3p_22.ncs di_mp3p_23.ncs di_mp3p_24.ncs di_mp3p_25.ncs di_mp3r.ncs k_pend_traskdl40.ncs k_petd40_o.ncs 3. If TSLPatcher created a backup folder during install in the same folder as the tslpatchdata folder, you can copy the following files backed up there, and use them to overwrite the copies in the Override folder: ambientmusic.2da globalcat.2da spells.2da However, it is advised that you do NOT do this unless absolutely necessary, as these files are used in a lot of other mods. Known Bugs and Incompatibilities Pressing the 'Play local radio' button may cause the game to play the default area battle music when you're not in combat. It should return to the normal mode area music once this finishes playing, though. This mod alters a (very small) part of the introductory dialogue with Trask on the Endar Spire, so it may not work with mods which do the same (such as mods allowing you to play as a Jedi from the start). Credits and Thanks HouseOfAmon for the original mod this is based off - it was a great idea!

This mod alters the (frankly terrible) holograms used in the cutscenes prior to boarding the Star Forge at the end of KOTOR to bring them more in to line with the style seen in the movies and TSL. For some unknown reason, Bioware decided to go with a weird texture-based approach that simultaneously looks both horrible and nothing like how Star Wars holograms are typically depicted. Before: After: Changes: Admiral Dodonna hologram model completely replaced with a new one based on her regular appearance. No longer has incorrect mirrored torso UVs. Dodonna model split into sub-meshes for optimal hierarchical occlusion. Vandar model given some mesh tweaks to remove some intersection issues. Models now use mesh-based transparency rather than additive texture blending. Custom keyframes added to animations to facilitate mesh-based alpha approach and added meshes. New animated textures for Vandar and Dodonna created based on their regular appearance textures. Minor alteration to one shot during the DS cutscene to prevent Dodonna leaping out of frame while Vandar is speaking. Known Issues: Because meshes do not self-occlude, there are some artefacts during certain shots. For example, seeing the neck through the chin.

This mod adds a Pureblood Sith head and underwear model from The Old Republic MMO, ported to K1 as a selectable player head for female characters. A few notes: A unique underwear model is included, but because of the different way TOR and KOTOR mate heads to bodies, I had to add a neck stump to the torso to elevate the head to the right height. That makes for a pretty nasty transition at the seam line, but it should mostly only be visible in dialogue. Try not to have too many conversations while naked I guess. By default, the underwear is a sports bra and panties. For those wanting something a little more chaste, there’s an alternative modesty patch that provides a pair of shorts/hot pants instead. After running this installer, simply copy and paste the TPCs from the OPTIONAL folder to your Override folder, overwriting when prompted. Odyssey’s lack of proper specularity, much less the advanced (by comparison) graphical features of TOR, means you should expect that the textures will look pretty flat in KOTOR compared to how the originals look in TOR. KOTOR has a maximum bone limit per mesh of 17. This creates a problem for TOR meshes, as adding the eyelids to the face bone array pushes that to 18. I had to drop 2 bones to make it work. I chose the two nose corner bones, as they seemed the least important. I don't know what effect this may have on various facial animations, but probably nothing significant for mute player characters. Differences between how TOR and KOTOR handle animations mean that some of the bone weights are probably too strong, so expect some bad deformation occasionally. Especially when the game uses stunt animations in certain cutscenes. An example of this is the opening cutscene on the Endar Spire, where the eyelashes and eyebrows get a bit carried away. If you notice anything particularly egregious, post a comment with some notes of the specifics and a screenshot/video and I'll see if it can be mitigated. Dark Side transitions are included, but they are relatively mild. I'm not a big fan of the zombie look.

This mod adds the head model of a Pureblood Sith from The Old Republic MMO as a selectable player head for male characters. N.B. Some screenshots feature @ndix UR's KOTOR High Resolution Menus A few notes: While aligned as closely as possible, the neckline probably won't match perfectly. Expect some visible gaps on body models that don't hide the join. The TOR head models use separate textures for the face, eyes, and hair. In order to allow for DS transitions, these had to be merged together (and the UVs adjusted to match). The eyes are the big loser in this. They went from having their own dedicated 256x256 texture to being shrunk down to a corner where they could be squeezed in. An additional consequence of the texture merge is no normal maps, due to the hair requiring alpha masking. TOR heavily relies on tint mapping textures for variation - skin tone, hair colour, eye colour, etc. Unfortunately, while the tint colours are available in the material files, the specifics of their shaders are currently unknown to me, so the best I can do is experiment with various blend modes to approximate the look. It may require some further experimentation and kludging. Not even having specularity, much less the advanced (by comparison) graphical features of TOR, expect textures to look pretty flat by comparison to the originals. KOTOR has a maximum bone limit per mesh of 16. This creates a problem for TOR meshes, as adding the eyelids to the face bone array pushes that to 18. I had to drop 2 bones to make it work. I chose the two nose corner bones, as they seemed the least important. I don't know what effect this may have on various facial animations though. Dark Side transitions are included, but they are relatively mild. I'm not a big fan of the zombie look. A unique underwear model is included, but the join line between the body and head is very apparent. I gather TOR is doing something to blend the join seamlessly, but I’m not able to replicate it.

Star Forge Robes Texture Enhancement ============================== Mod For: KotOR & KotOR 2: TSL ========================== Description: This mod is intended to sort of "fix" the Star Forge Robes, as they were missing the Cape, Belt and other accessories that Revan's Robe has for it's texture. I know there's already a few mods out there that do the same thing, but I felt like doing my own take on it. If you want to use this in a mod, go right ahead, just be sure to add credit where it's due. Included is another option that uses the armor pieces from the Female version's texture. NOTE: You can also use these textures for TSL as well, if you have a mod that allows you to obtain Revan's Robes/Star Forge Robes.
