How was that problem solved for ROR?

It's not a terribly unique first mod idea. I've seen 2 other mods just like it. But one was OP AF, as the kids say, and the other was just okay. I want to make Upgradable Clothing and Robes, both to keep the starting outfit viable for Taris and Dantooine, and so Robes don't feel quite so gipped. But I'm also not the world's greatest numbers guy, so I wanted to float my initial idea and get feedback from people who've gone into the guts of the game's balance far deeper than I ever will. As for Robes, there are only a handful of upgradable armors in the game, and Jedi are just cut of the system entirely. This lets Robes feel a bit less obligatory (you want your Force Buffs right?) and moves them into a Force User-themed desirable alternative to armor. (And honestly, the two reinforcements go thematically with the Jedi Armor that appears in SWTOR and later entries) So here's my initial idea: Upgradeable Clothing Defense: 1 (same as Jedi Robes, which I consider to be the same as Clothing) Skill Focus: Persuade (clothes make the sentient; its a useful buff for a useful skill early game since its restricted to one class without penalty, unless you've modded it; but not so useful that you'd ignore armor with better defense for it) Armor Reinforcement: Defense +2 (or Defense 3, depends on if this replaces the old value or stacks; yes I'm that new at this, Brings it up to equivalent of Jedi Master Robes) Mesh Overlay: Charisma +2 (goes thematically with the base bonus; gives a minor buff to Persuade; I keep going back and forth if I should swap these around) OR Universal Save Bonus +1 (again nice generic bonus for any build, but not so good that you'd start turning away higher level gear) Jedi Robes Defense: 1 Regenerate Force Points: 1 (taken blatantly from TSL, makes them feel a little more unique and useful to Force users beyond just not restricting Force Powers) Armor Reinforcement: Defense +2 Mesh Overlay: Wisdom +1 (Charisma +1 for DS version) (a pivotal stat for Jedi, so nice to get a bonus, but hardly game-breaking) Jedi Knight Robes Defense: 2 Regenerate Force Points: 1 Armor Reinforcement: Defense +2 Mesh Overlay: Wisdom +2 (Charisma +2 for DS version), Immunity: Poison (Jedi are reputed for being to shrug off most poisons; using Heal does this, so its usefulness is limited) Jedi Master Robes Defense: 3 Regenerate Force Points: 1 Armor Reinforcement: Defense +2 Mesh Overlay: Wisdom +3 (Charisma +3 for DS version), Immunity: Mind-Affecting (Can you see a Jedi/Sith Master getting confused or mind-tricked?) Qel-Droma Robes Restricted to Light Side Defense: 4 (down -1 from base to flow better with the upgradable scaling) Wisdom +2 Regenerate Force Points: 2 (Base robes all have it 1 now, so felt like the unique ones should have a slightly better version) Armor Reinforcement: Defense +2 Mesh Overlay: Immunity to Fear and Mind-affecting (just improved Master Robes in many way, plus a nod to Cay Qel-Droma's suicidal levels of overconfidence/naivete.) Darth Revan's Robes (These two can't be upgraded because there's no upgrade bench to use at this point in the game, so I just gave them a little buff to keep up with the other improvements) Restricted to Dark Side Defense: 7 Strength +5 (up +1 from vanilla, just to keep bonuses uniform) Regeneration: 1 Regenerate Force Points: 2 Immunity: Sneak Attacks (honestly, probably not very useful at this point, but I like it as a nod to the idea that he survived getting shot in the back by a SHIP) Star Forge Robes (These two can't be upgraded because there's no upgrade bench to use at this point in the game, so I just gave them a little buff to keep up with the other improvements) Restricted to Light Side Defense: 7 Wisdom +5 Improved Saving Throws (Universal): +2 Regenerate Force Points: 2 Immunity: Critical Hits (its the end of the game, might be a bit OP but honestly shouldn't matter) On a secondary note: I've never liked the odd numbered stat bonuses. Every version of D&D after the OG 3rd/SWRPG ditched them because it amounted to new gear having a 50% of being useless if you didn't have an odd numbered stat. That just doesn't feel good. How badly do you think a mod that redoes all Attribute bonuses to Even-Numbered break the game. Maybe some of the ones that already have even numbered stat buffs could get a small secondary effect to help differentiate. But that's a different project. Just an idea to address something that's always bugged me, and much more ambitious.

View File Quarren Sith Master A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Author: N-DReW25 1.1.0 Release Date: 05.02.2026 Installation: Simply click on the HoloPatcher.exe, select your swkotor directory, click install and sit back and watch the HoloPatcher do its magic. Description: In the 19th Century, European Colonizers would use non-European collaborators to help pacify and/or assimilate non-European cultures into their Empires. The European Colonizers and the non-European target for colonization might have major linguistic and cultural differences making dialogue between the two groups almost impossible, but by taking a non-European collaborator of the Europeans and using them as an intermediary between the two groups the non-European group might become more suspectable to the Europeans through the use of the non-European collaborator who is closer to the non-European group than they are to the Europeans. A random example of this might be the Italians using the Arabs to help them colonize the Somalis. The Italians want to colonize Somalia but they do not speak Somali and aren't at all culturally similar, whereas the Somalis would more than likely know Arabic and would be more culturally similar to Arabs so using Arabs to help Italians colonize the Somalis would be a viable tactic. This concept of wanting to colonize a group that is different from you so you instead use a culturally similar group to make it easier for you to colonize the original group is central to this mod. On Manaan, the Sith Empire is secretly training Selkath youths into becoming Dark Jedi and Sith Agents to one day stage a coup against the Manaan government to take over their planet and exploit their precious resources. Similar to the real life example above the same hurdles that applied to Europeans and non-Europeans still apply to the Sith in this scenario. The Sith Empire is predominantly human and are shown to be quite racist to non-human species throughout the game. The Selkath are an aquatic alien species so not only is there a differing alien culture the Sith have to deal with but the Selkath primarily live underwater. The leader behind this Sith plot to train Selkath youth is a human Sith Master who appears as a generic Sith Master in-game. This mod changes this NPC so that the Sith Master is now an alien Quarren, another aquatic alien species. With this mod installed, it makes much more sense as to why the Sith are trying to train and convert Selkath youth to the Sith when the mastermind behind this plot is a fellow aquatic alien who would be much more culturally similar to his Selkath students and would be a much easier leader for the Selkath to blindly follow despite this master serving an empire that would be racist towards them all. Known Bugs: This mod shouldn't have any bugs but if you find any please feel free to report them on Deadlystream.com. A third install was planned but could not be implemented due to a bizarre bug. The third option was a version of the vanilla dialogue which had an AI filter over it to make it sound like the Quarren from Kotor II (this same method was used in the ROR mod for the Quarren Jedi Master). This could not be added as the VO in-game would be sped up with the pitch increased for reasons unknown to me. This install has been included in the mod but cannot currently be installed, when this bug can be fixed I will add the ability to install it. Incompatibilities: Please report any incompatibilities! Permissions: Do NOT claim credit for this mod and do not use assets from this mod without my permission. The textures for this mod comes from Quanon's Big Sellout, a modder's resource that was published on LucasForums back in the day. These are the same textures that are used in Quanon's Sith Quarren PC mod found on NexusMods. As these textures came from Quanon's Big Sellout, they can be used in your mod though I strongly advise you credit Quanon as the original artist and acknowledge Quanon's Big Sellout to avoid people thinking you stole it from the Sith Quarren PC mod. Thanks to: Quanon: For making the original textures and including it in your Big Sellout modder's resource! Marius Fett: For fixing the Death Field animation bug which projected the lightning from his feet instead of his hands! ElevenLabs Website: For the custom AI VO service! Bioware: For such an amazing game! Obsidian Entertainment: For creating the original Quarren models, textures, and VO! Fred Tetra: For Kotor Tool! th3w1zard1: For HoloPatcher!

The problem simply didn't happen with ROR, it played in-game exactly the same as it does when you listen to the .MP3 audio file. If you open the tslpatcher folder and open the folder named "ai" the affected VO is in there if anyone wanted to see the problem for themselves. If you listen to the audio as an .MP3 file it plays as it should but in-game the speed and pitch is somehow increased to the point that it sounds like Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks. Marius Fett sent me a fixed version of the models earlier today. I've just updated the mod with their fixed models and in my testing the Death Field effect now projects from the hands as it should.

Check the FX dummies for the hands. They are presumably missing, so it defaults to the OdysseyBase to spawn the VFX.

As always, you are full of good ideas, N-DReW-25. May I ask if you imported the model and texture from the sequel or if it is a custom made work? I read better the info and Quanon is reported as the author. It would be nice to remedy the bug with the Force Power effect originating from the feet rather than the hand and I am sure an experienced modeller could help you out with that. And perhaps with the clipping of the hand and lightsabe I noticed in the picture. Cheers! PS: Too bad also about the bug with the AI voice over. That would have been my choice...

Hello, please do one for converting whole modules as well, and for extracting models from a module and inserting it in another one (a shuttle for example) ! Will be much easier with a video ! Thanks !
