The KOTOR 2 test for Revision 12 was completed earlier today. With just a few exceptions which need re-testing next revision, almost every submitted mod was integrated--thank you to all the modders who fulfilled these requests! I have now removed the fulfilled requests from the OP. As with the KOTOR list I have thought of some more things I'd like as well, so there are some new requests also. They are, in order of appearance: -Ravager Difficulty Increase -Nerf T3's Shock Arm & Infinite Shield -Consular-Sentinel Skill Sanity -Remove Poison Immunity from Valor -Lightsaber Rarity and Construction -Delayed Story Cutscenes -Move Meditation Envy -Bostuco is Invisible? -Miscellaneous Minor Dialogue Adjustments (including several earlier requests which I have folded into this category) -Kreia Wants to be Forgiven -Kreia Doesn't Crush -Different Peragus Doors -Dialogue Delay Integrated with Kexikus's Visually Repair HK -Unknown Incompatibilities with 222TEL Sojourn Cutscene -danil-ch's Extended Enclave Dialogue Rearrange -Balanced & Stabilized Assault on Dxun Mandalorian Base -Gammoreans are Dumb, but not that Dumb -Expanded Text for Enlightenment & Crush Unlocks As with the last Revision cycle, any of these requests fulfilled will not be tested until the next Revision. It's impossible to predict when that will be with accuracy, but I would estimate at least a year from this post, as two Revisions have come in quick succession and I would like to give users a breather without another big update for a while.

retexture / replacement for PMHA03 any particular face / style / race you'd like to see?

more lore accurate eyes and some other changes

I decided that it needs the iconical bone-like structures they have, so it will have a new mesh. I could add the typical hair that they have but i am unsure how this would work with various armors, if there could be clipping. It's a rather inconsistent race lore wise, in Mandalorian one of them had human eyes. They don't seem to have ears, but in Clone Wars (i think the image is from) one of them does have visible ears. So i guess i don't need to care too much lol... the bone-like bumps is consistent at least.

I looked in my extracted folder, that tga is 128x512 in the original for me. Wrong resolution, if it was in this case, could lead to worse quality, that's about it, the mesh doesn't "care" it will still use it in the same way.

Thank you very much. Okay then. Yeah, I should have been saying what I wanted to achieve with this mod. So this mod I am planning to make is a bit ambitious. Basically my plan was to create an entirely new, original humanoid character in Blender, and then port it to KOTOR to replace the Darth Nihilus NPC in cutscenes and gameplay.

As a starting point, I would recommend Holocron Toolset: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1982-holocron-toolset/ to get an idea of how the modules are set up and to be able to view models + areas of the game. This is incredibly useful for seeing how placeables, cameras, models, scripts, creatures are laid out. This can be used to pull assets out of the game for modification. You can also use KOTOR Tool: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/280-kotor-tool/ to pull the same game resources out for modification. If you're looking to modify the particle effects of the game models, you can't go wrong with MDLEdit: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1150-mdledit/ . This converts game models MDL+MDX into readable ASCII and back into MDL after you save the changes to the ASCII file. It really comes down to what the goal of your first mod is. If you're looking into making changes to scripts, that definitely is not my area of expertise. It would be helpful if you share a specific goal for your first mod idea, or at least an idea of something you'd like to achieve.

There are two restored content mods for Kotor I. Kotor 1 Restoration (K1R) which is the older, complete restored content mod that is both incompatible with K1CP and has its own game breaking bugs that haven't been fixed due to the team leader leaving the community after the 1.2 release almost a decade ago. Restored Content for K1CP (RC-K1CP) is my own take on the restored content mod that is compatible with K1CP but it is incomplete. When I say it is incomplete, you'll read my "what's restored list" and see that there is clearly cut content that is missing from the K1R mod, however, my mod also has restored content K1R doesn't have and, even though my mod isn't done, the content that is already restored is, for all intents and purposes, finished. Unlike Kotor II, the Kotor I cut content is content many see as being content that was actually meant to be cut unlike Kotor II which is a bug filled and clearly incomplete experience. Not using the restored content mod for Kotor I isn't going to hurt your game.

Episode Two's development of ROR goes well, however, this post isn't about Episode Two - it's about the bug fix update 1.0.2. Since Logan has once again gone awol to deal with his new job, I have been left to develop Episode Two's Nar Shaddaa. Of course, should I somehow complete the entirety of Episode Two without Logan to the best of my abilities we are left with the risk of the mod going into limbo again as I can't physically go on to 100% finish the Episode without Logan. So, here is what I am doing to avoid that happening. I am trying to learn how to create quests for Kotor II, something I haven't delved into before... until now: (the typo shall obviously be corrected before released ) This is something many players were expecting when they first played Episode One, and were disappointed for when these characters played no role in their playthrough. Their side quest was cut towards the end of Episode One's development for the same reason Obsidian Entertainment ended up cutting a bunch of stuff - to ultimately save time and release the mod before June of 2025. Now, in bug fix 1.0.2, their side quest is being brought back. The original side quest that was planned had mercenaries spawn in who would harass Beedo, the Rodian, who were sent by Tokro, the Hutt, to get him to pay off his debt. The player could negotiate to get them to backoff or fight them to save Beedo. You would then go to Tokro who, as a businessman, wanted you to plant a bomb on some cargo crates in the spaceport module (these crates are where the Beast Rider encounter happened in the Onderon Spaceport) belonging to a rival company. Doing so would result in a CorSec Officer spotting you to which you could either hand in the bomb and confess to Tokro's crime or you could convince the CorSec Officer to leave you alone and have the bomb planted. This version of the sidequest was cut for a few reasons. First, the mercenaries were to spawn after you went to the Royal Palace and recruited Uldir - instead a bug would occur where they spawned immediately upon entering the module. Second, the old scripts from 2011 were so broken that only some of the mercenaries went hostile and/or left if you convinced them to backdown. And third, no matter how much you nerfed the mercenaries they would always one shot kill the player and Drayen due to how weak you were that early in the game. And as for the setup of Tokro's actual quest, the idea was that the bomb would explode the cargo in transit meaning it'd blow up in space. However, the idea that a Jedi Padawan, in the company of their Jedi Master, and Uldir, a Police Officer, would even contemplate doing this side quest for even a minute wouldn't make too much sense. Not to mention that, if you were to confess and surrender the bomb to the CorSec Officer, Tokro technically wouldn't cancel his debt as you didn't deploy the bomb. These bugs combined with the logical inconsistency of the quest resulted in me deciding to cut the quest as I'd rather focus my energy on making progress instead of banging my hand against the wall trying to get this quest to work. The new quest is still in its infancy of development, but the new version I'm writing has it so that there are no mercenaries and that Beedo, instead of his landspeeder being damaged by the mercenaries, is now trying to sell his landspeeder for the 10,000 credits he owes Tokro. You'd go to Altol Cantina where Tokro can be found and you would mention Beedo to Tokro. Tokro would then tell you that you cannot realistically pay off Beedo's debt even if you were to use the "givecredits" cheat as his debt is 10,000 credits plus interest. He reveals himself to be the CEO of a Corellian banking company and that he will be willing to drop the debt if you were to find a banking manifest that has ended up in the Agrilat Swamps due to the Tyrena disaster. The manifest shall be found somewhere beyond the damaged landspeeder, meaning you'll have to complete the Esbek Hotel murder quest before you can retrieve the manifest. When this update is released, I shall tell you's all here where the manifest can be found. Once you return the manifest to Tokro, he will cancel Beedo's debt and the quest will be over. I do have plans to add a Dark Side ending to this quest where, instead of giving it to Tokro, you give the manifest to a Czerka NPC who'll use it to blackmail Tokro into making a deal with Czerka. This Czerka element will not be added in this next update and will be added in another update unless Logan disagrees and either changes or rejects the Czerka idea entirely. There may also be a second optional side quest, if it can be made for update 1.0.2 I shall reveal more details here, if I cannot be made for update 1.0.2 it might have to wait until update 1.0.3 or Episode Two's release. This update will come in the form of a ROR Addon/separate mod as I cannot obviously update the mod myself and Logan doesn't want to risk accidentally releasing Episode Two files in this update. So that means update 1.0.2 will be a separate mod that you'll install after ROR and it won't be added into the actual ROR until Episode Two is released. Update 1.0.2 will come with a plethora of very minor, but very good, bug fixes to certain modules of ROR Episode One that I won't delve into until the mod is actually released to which I shall post a changelog of all the changes made in update 1.0.2. By developing this side quest I hope to achieve two things: give you, the players, something to enjoy to whilst Episode Two is underway, and to give me the experience necessary to develop and finish the planned Episode Two side quests independent of Logan so that there'll be less for us to do before Episode Two's release. Please let me know what you think.

Run MDLedit, open p_bastilah.mdl, save as ASCII. At the bottom part of the window, click Header. Now you see Supermodel: P_BastilaBB in the top part of the window. This is the model that you'll need from the game that you're porting to. So, the K2 version. You can extract it with KotOR Tool, place it where you've saved the ASCII file. Close MDLedit, start it again, make sure the left button is set to KOTOR2. Load the ASCII file, save as Binary, as p_bastilah.mdl. You now have a model that should work in K2. You could test things by changing your appearance to Bastila's with KSE (Savegame editor). Some more things are needed to be able to select the head in the character creator. It is possible that things are in the wrong place, you'll find out by testing. I've only tested with the Model Viewer (looks fine) and not in game. P.s. MDLOps is not needed, MDLedit can do what it does, and some more.
