Rebalance of the Taris duelists. SUMMARY This mod re-equips and rebalances the Taris duelists, aiming to give them more variety, smooth out their difficulty curve, and make the fights a bit more challenging and engaging overall. Almost all duelists have had their stats or equipment tweaked to some degree to make them more distinct in both appearance and combat while ensuring a natural progression in difficulty throughout the fights. Twitch has undergone the most extensive changes and should now be significantly more challenging. Each of the human duelists gets a different set of level-appropriate light armor, instead of all wearing the same armor as they do in vanilla. Certain duelists have had their AI tweaked for improved behavior. Detailed changes to each duelist are listed below. This mod is not intended to dramatically alter the difficulty of the dueling arena but will make it harder overall. Note this mod will only work on saves from before entering the Taris cantina for the first time. DETAILS INSTALLATION Run HoloPatcher.exe and select an install option. The default option installs the mod to the Override folder. An alternative option is included which installs to the Modules folder. If you don’t have any mods which edit these NPCs in Override but do have mods which edit them in Modules, you can use the alternative install option to prevent overwriting them. See compatibility notes for more details. Direct the installer to your game folder then press install. Unaltered copies of any modified files will be placed inside the backup folder in the location of HoloPatcher.exe. If you receive the following warning while running the alternative install option: “A resource located at ‘…\Override\…’ is shadowing this mod’s changes in Modules\tar_m02ae.mod!” then you should install the default option instead. If you have Effixian’s Taris Arena Changes installed, run the compatibility patch after running the default install option. UNINSTALLATION To uninstall from the default install option: Remove the following files from Override: tar02_bendak021.utc, tar02_gerlon021.utc, tar02_ice021.utc, tar02_marl021.utc, tar02_twitch021.utc, tar02_deadeye022.utc, m_ai_dueler.ncs, m_att_dueler.ncs, m_dmg_dueler.ncs, m_htb_dueler.ncs, m_per_dueler.ncs, m_rnd_dueler.ncs, m_spn_dueler.ncs, and m_udf_dueler.ncs. If any files were created inside the backup folder, move them to Override. To uninstall from the alternative install option: Remove tar_m02ae.mod from the Modules folder and, if present, replace with the tar_m02ae.mod in the backup folder. COMPATIBILITY Two install options are included to allow compatibility with different sets of mods that edit the same NPCs. If you are using any other mods which edit the duelist NPCs in the Override folder, you should use the default install option. However if the only other mods you have which edit these NPCs do so in the Modules folder, you can use the alternative install option to prevent overwriting them. See list of which mods are compatible with which options below. Installs to Override (use the default option if using any of these mods): Effixian’s Taris Arena Changes by Effix NOTE: Install order critical! Taris Arena Changes > Differentiated Duelists > Patch Bendak Starkiller Emblem Armour by redrob14 Installs to Modules (use the alternative option if using any of these mods and none of the previously listed mods): K1 NPC Diversity Pack - N-DReW25 NOTE: If you prefer the armors from this mod, install it after Differentiated Duelists. Galaxy of Faces - N-DReW25 If unsure, install using the default option after any other mods that edit these NPCs to ensure its full changes take effect. Twitch, Ice, and Bendak will not be affected by combat AI changes from other mods. PERMISSIONS Feel free to do whatever you want with this mod as long as credit is provided.

This mod is a simple recolour which alters the colour palette of the female Republic Soldiers to resemble the female soldiers represented in the LS endgame cutscene by the Stunt_Crowd02 texture. The blue used is slightly paler than the reference material, as I felt it looked a bit nicer. Installation: Download and install JC's Republic Soldier Fix first: The new textures included in my mod will NOT work on the vanilla female Republic Soldier model. They will ONLY work if you use JC's new model included in his mod. Once installed, replace the textures from JC's mod with my own. There are two separate folders included in the download and whether you take the files from one or both depends on whether you've used the option to replace player clothing with JC's mod or not. The textures in the NPC's folder will also work for KotOR 2, if you've downloaded the KotOR 2 version of JC's mod. Thanks: Big thanks to JC for his original mod which not only corrected errors on the male Republic Soldier model, but also replaced the female model with a nicer one using the male version as a base.

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Knights of the Old Republic - The Sith Lords ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Effixian's Zeison Sha / Jal Shey Reskin 2020 AUTHOR: Effix(ian) CONTACT: PM me on the forums or find me on Steam ------------------------- INSTALLATION ------------------------- Extract the zip, move the files from the folder to your override folder. ----------------------- DESCRIPTION ----------------------- Yes, I wasn't quite done with trying to give you another (better? I hope) version of the Zeison Sha and Jal Shey Armors. Like my 2010 version it has more neutral colours and again it's inspired by the Clone Wars era Obi-Wan. I felt the Malak armor needed to reflect its darkside requirement more, so that has red instead of neutral colours. Not compatible with my other Zeison Sha/Jal Shey mods and other mods that replace them. New feature this time: In the vanilla game the Jal Shey Neophyte Armor and the Jal Shey Advisor Armor use the same texture and icon. I've changed that in this mod. However it won't change a Jal Shey Advisor Armor item that you've already acquired in a save. That said, you don't need to start a new game if you want to use this mod, if you do already have the Jal Shey Advisor Armor then it will simply look the same as the Jal Shey Neophyte Armor.
