Introducing: Sleheyron Story Mod. A brand new planet expansion to add to your next KOTOR play-through: Sleheyron! Built upon the Sleheyron demo mod by the legendary SithSpecter (with his permission), this new mod adds a huge new story that brings this lost-absent planet back to KOTOR. This mod contains the following new content: I was inspired by SithSpecter’s work, and I’m hoping in the future my mod will be compatible with his. It would be a worthy venture for me to undertake to make our Sleheyron stories co-exist. After all, I owe him a HUGE debt of thanks for permitting other modders to build off his Sleheyron demo! This new mod is my first ever project, and I’m quite excited to share it with you. Sleheyron will feature: 1: A roughly 5 hours long story, voice-acted (no AI voices either). 2: A fully-voice acted new party member, complete with a post-Sleheyron story and romance (The new companion can even do the Leviathan rescue!). 3: 25 new modules of various shapes and sizes (including the four published by SithSpecter, which are amazing and I owe him a huge thanks!) 4: New weapons and armor. 5: Lots of connections to Tales of the Jedi, as I am a big fan of those comics. The most recent, and presumably final, version of this mod that I have uploaded is called "Sleheyron+." This version of the mod comes with a few useful qualities: It uses Holopatcher for easy installation, it is compatible with other mods, and it has a few improved textures and voice acting. If you are interested in using other mods, please follow these instructions: 1: If you are using the KOTOR 1 Community Patch, or the KOTOR 1 Restored Content Mod, or the KOTOR 1 Community Patch with Restored Content, download that mod FIRST BEFORE SLEHEYRON! 2: If you are going to try BOSSR (reminder: this has not yet been tested by me), download it AFTER Sleheyron. The story for Sleheyron: Story Mode starts shortly after the player gets their main mission from the Jedi Council on Dantooine. There is a save file in this mod that will allow players to skip right to that moment with a pre-built character. Then you just need to fly to Sleheyron... But I also encourage players to make their own characters, too! Sleheyron can be visited at any time between Dantooine and the Unknown World. I, of course, recommend going early to enjoy the new companion as long as you would like. Some acknowledgements! Modders: Of all the people I need to thank, there are two above all others: First and foremost, the absolute biggest thanks to SithSpecter: Not just for creating the Sleheyron Demo that this mod is built off of, but for granting permission to use that Demo. When the day comes your Sleheyron Restoration Mod is complete, I know that it will be the very best Sleheyron mod out there! And right after SithSpecter is my good friend, The_Chaser_One. Chaser has been an extremely great friend (and a talented new KOTOR modder himself) and is responsible for making this mod compatible. He's talked through many ideas, he was the best beta tester anyone could ask for, and he really did work hard to make this project a better one to share with all of you. Thank you for your help, Chaser- really! Thor110, for helping me out with the basics of module design, as well as introduced me to some cut modules to use. DarthParametric, for teaching me to retexture NPCs as well as two "larger creature" mods that became resources for Sleheyron (is there a single KOTOR mod out there that he hasn't been credited on?). SithHolocron, who early on helped teach me how to retexture modules. ZobiZob, for amazing YouTube tutorials for how to use Holocron Toolset and solving my problem with playing movies. GlaspyLawson, who learned modding at the same time as me, and shared his knowledge; and for contributing a side quest to Sleheyron! JC for just answering so many of my questions through the entire modding process. Really, the whole Mod Development KOTOR Discord Group! Thank you for either offering advice or tolerating my simplistic questions! Testers: Mikael, the absolute most enthusiastic alpha tester anyone could ask for. StellarExile, who helped me out with learning how to use the patcher. MistahJayGarrick for his high praise of the story content (and occasional blunt, but necessary, advice). Tool Developers: Cortisol and Th3W1zard1 designed and kept updated the incredible Holocron Toolset, that was instrumental in this mod's design. I owe them a massive thanks for their work, and the hours they spent helping me out with bug-fixing! And also Wizard for a pretty fun voice, too. Voice cast: LadyWarden, the talented actress that gave us the incredible voice of Vima; giving this long-standing fan-favorite character a perfectly excellent rendition (she was also an excellent audio assistant and helped design the load screens). Mikael, for various voiceovers around Sleheyron that made the planet feel alive (including the dulcet tones of an exhausted Hutt). C4 for the excellent performance as Commander Forcay, praised by a tester as "Sounds exactly like a NPC from KOTOR!" PuckShadows for his Sith Lt. Savage. Juice Phanta for a pitch-perfect protocol droid. Black Rose for literally hundreds of Iridorian mercenary lines, giving me an impressively huge range of pitches to work with. Schofield-HD for an officer of vice and virtue (and more roles to come in Sleheyron 1.1!) Gwoopp and MerakiSky for two fun little roles in the Sleheyron cantina. Companies: Of course, BioWare and Lucasfilm, for making this game that we all enjoy so much. NexusMods and Deadly Stream for being the places to discuss and host mods. Discord for enabling communication that made this mod a collaborative effort. Final Dedications: My wife, who tolerated me spending nearly six months isolated to make this. To a relative who isn't around anymore to enjoy Sleheyron. I think this mod would make you proud! (even if you did spoil this game for me) My apologies if I missed anyone else; but I appreciate all of your hard work! I hope you all enjoy Sleheyron: Story Mode!

Version 4 released - should be final Compressed and optimized, 2x Upscaled Vanilla Textures This is not a 4k/8k super high-res remaster of the textures. Priorities were optimizing vanilla textures first, while also doubling the resolution. This should act as a base texture upgrade. Then I suggest you still use other texture mods and bug fixes on top of this. Every texture has been doubled in resolution. GUI and icons are also included. All textures are packed as compressed TPCs and then bundled in two .erf files. INSTALL: extract the 2 .erf files to your game directory\TexturePacks (NOT IN THE OVERRIDE DIRECTORY) This will overwrite the existing vanilla texture files so back them up if you wish. Refined Add-on Textures: extract to override folder These are textures that originally looked bad or were very low resolution so I reworked them. They still look vanilla+. - All circular grates had really low quality textures. Instead of upscaling, they have been tiled twice as dense. - The ebon hawk scaffolding was low quality and looked bad when upscaled. The scaffolding from Nar Shadda was used and color matched. - Nar Shadda panels were too uniform, shifted part of the texture to make the tile look more random. Optimization: - a lot textures were twice the file size they should have been - the highest quality compression was used on the new texture, it takes a very long time to convert but avoids bad compression artifacts Upscale: - HDCube 4 was used to upscale every texture at 2x - different model weights used depending on the texture - alpha channels processed separately, then recombined

Replaces screen textures. Animated screen. Warns about quarantine. And it advertises interesting events on the planet. Installation Just drag and drop the files into the Override folder. replace the files. I hope you enjoy it.

This small modification was created as part of Snigaroo's Mod Build request at Deadlystream. It simply refill the First Aid container in the duelling room on Taris Cantina with a new medikit (unless one such is already available) after winning one of the duels. Enjoy!
