Haven't been posting and doing anything for Kotor games for a very long time! Recently I was reading Path of Destruction by Drew Karpyshyn and realized how much I miss playing first kotor xD
So I decided to return to my idea of making a robe mod for the first game. The idea is too make all the Jedi and Sith robes more unique (at least visually).
This time I decided to use JC's Cloaked Jedi Robe modification as a basis for robes. And right Now I came up with basic concept of what I want to do.
I don't think I will have a lot of time to make new textures myself for the mod, so (at least at the moment) I will use textures from Darth Darkus' Armored Robes, Effixian's Prototype Knight & Warrior Breastplates and jonathan7's Force Fashion. (Though in case of release I will need to get their permission otherwise I'll have too make my own textures for the replacement xD). The only thing I add to those textures is the collar fix.
At the moment I do have a basic concept what I want to do. I came up with all the names for Sith and Jedi robes with the idea in mind to blend the Sith titles in the K1, K2 and SWTOR. Also, I think that the Darkside list was Lacking the Tier 5 so the Jorak/Uthar will be somewhat on par with Qel-Droma's Robe (it will have Dark Side restriction instead of Light Side one that Qel-Droma's Robe has and it will give Strength +2 instead of Wisdom +2). Also, I think it is a good Idea to make 2 robes. Jorak will have a dusty and torn apart version (which won't give such bonuses to the player, let's say Max Dex +8; Defense Bonus 0; Strength +1), and Uthar will have a better version with full bonuses (Max Dex +8; Defense Bonus 5; Strength +2). The reason is I don't want to give the player the full-bonus robe before finishing Korriban xD
Another idea is that Lashowe, Mekel and Shaardan in the original game are all Jedi Guardians. Maybe it will be a good idea to change them like this:
Lashowe = Jedi Consular (aka Dark Jedi Consular = Sith Inquisitor Robe)
Mekel = Jedi Sentinel (aka Dark Jedi Sentinel = Sith Warrior Robe)
Shaardan Jedi Guardian (aka Dark Jedi Guardian = Sith Crusader Robe)
At the Sith Academy Sith Teachers will have unique Sith Overseer Robes, while Yuthura (being second in command) will have SIth Grand Overseer Robe. Most of the students will have either Acolyte Tunic (showing that they were initiated recently) or Sith Adept Robe (meaning that they are already experienced students)
Also, in case of dark side playthrough the player meets 3 Dark Jedi Masters on Starforge, in this case:
Black/White Dark Jedi Master - will have Sith Lord Robe (next Tier of Sith Inquisitor Robe)
Black/Red Dark Jedi Master - will have Sith Assassin Robe (next Tier of Sith Crusader Robe)
Black/Blue Dark Jedi Master - will have Sith Marauder Robe (next Tier of Sith Warrior Robe)
In case of the Jedi, the first Jedi that we meet on Endar Spire will have a very basic Padawan Tunic (the same one we will get from Zhar on Dantooine). Master Dorak will have his unique Jedi Archivist robe. That being said, Deesra and Belaya will get 3rd Tier robes (according to Wookiepedia they are both Knights). Also, Starforge Jedi Strike team will also get 3rd Tier robes (it would be strange to send Padawans in the strike team)
