This may come as a disappointment to some, and good news to others, but I've decided to leave this project and let other modders use the module to make their own versions and tell their own stories.
I had a lot of fun working on it and learned a lot from it, and I am grateful for the positive reception and enthusiasm from the KotOR community, and it will be exciting to see what other modders can create with it. Hopefully the walkmesh and cave models can be repaired.
Anyone is free to use all of the files in the mod however they wish, the only things I really added to it aside from the bare bones level design were the minimap and loading screen.
I hope that my words and ideas expressed in this thread and the original mod can serve as inspiration and guidance to the ones who will pick up where I left off.
Thank you for downloading!
