Big preservation win for the KotOR modding community today. Several long-dormant classic tools are officially no longer abandonware and will now be maintained under the OpenKotOR umbrella. These utilities have been part of the foundation of KotOR modding for years, and having active stewardship again means bug fixes, modernization, long-term preservation, and future quality-of-life improvements are finally back on the table. Huge thanks to @Fair Strides for helping make this possible and for entrusting the community with the source and continued maintenance.

ERFEdit JRLEditor TalkEd SSFEdit This is one of those moments that quietly changes the future of the ecosystem. More information: - OpenKotOR is dedicated to keeping source code and legacy applications maintained to allow anyone and everyone to start building and creating quickly. A lot of the old communities are fragmented and much of the information is difficult to find/understand without a community. Many of us are frustrated with this, and have created a community where we can just get stuff done without a plethora of outdated archaic rules making it seem like the average subreddit arguing with various Reddit mods. If you head over to https://discord.gg/jxR7hzHmsD, you’ll find an active hub of modern KotOR tooling and development. The community is building full replacements for many of the classic utilities -- including a brand‑new 3D map builder, an opinionated MDL viewer/animator/extractor, and even a complete game engine rewrite capable of running KotOR directly in your browser. On the modding side, major projects like Sleheyron, Rhen Var, and expanded work on M4‑78EP are deep in testing, iteration, and refinement. The server is a great place to follow progress, report issues, and see what the next generation of KotOR modding looks like as it takes shape. There’s a lot happening, and it’s all moving fast. New people are joining every day, many doing things that could only be *dreamed* of in previous years. Imagine if we beat Disney to a remake, or if our community non-profit passion turns out BETTER than what the game developers intended. All of this work lives under the broader OpenKotOR community, which you can join here: https://openkotor.com/ Everyone has a say in this community, regardless of how long you've been around, who you are, or what your current understanding is. This is a completely decentralized community. Please feel free to openly share your creativity and curiosity or just grab some popcorn and watch some agentic engineers poop out some ai spaghetti. It's all quite fun. If you’re curious, want to contribute, or just enjoy seeing the game pushed into new territory, you’ll fit right in.
