Main idea I’m pretty sure that if you’re in this modding community, you’ve at least once hesitated between the Community Patch for KOTOR 1 (K1CP) and the KOTOR Restoration mod (K1R). And I’m here to give you what you need. In fact, @N-DReW25 already made a restored content mod for K1CP (RC-K1CP). The fact is that it doesn’t restore everything K1R does, especially one of its biggest parts : the Pazaak Tournament on Manaan. The mod I made will bring it back into your game, with some additions I took the time to add. Please read at least the "optional" and "installation" sections in order to understand how the mod works (don't worry, it's not very complicated). Unless you really want to know what I added and what K1R had already made, you can skip this section and jump straight to the options. Optional I’m sure you will be pleased to know this mod is customizable. It has 4 interesting options. 1) Compatibility or full mode The only big issue you can encounter with this mod is the placeables limit. This is a KOTOR issue I discovered not long ago. Put simply, you can’t add more than about 25 new placeables in your game. K1R has a bit less than 10, while BOSSR has 20. DarthParametric’s diversified jedi captives on the Star Forge brings 7. Capitaine Spoque’s taxi system on Taris brings 1, such as mine for Manaan. Most of K1R’s placeables are actually from the Pazaak Tournament. They’re the animated holograms. There are 6. And, to be fair, they’re kind of broken. They disappear behind other placeables such as the exit door and the organizer’s desk. As this problem is very hard to solve and I don’t have the required modelling skills, I’m giving the following choice to you : - Full mode : With holograms, if you’re not planning to install many mods that add new placeables. - Compatibility mode : Without holograms, if you have some of the mods designated above, or others that add many placeables. If you have many mods installed, either you take the risk, or you check yourself in the placeables.2da file with Holocron Toolset, or you simply take the compatibility option. It really doesn’t remove much anyway. 2) New Loadscreen The Pazaak Tournament is compatible with : 1) adjrenter’s Very nice Loadscreens (See in requirements section for link) - Option A : Full version (with holograms) - Option B : Compatibility version : without holograms These are brand new LoadScreens. (Option C : You don’t take anything and you’ll get the basic “Very nice style” loadscreen, but it would be kind of a waste). 2) SithSpecter’s HD Loadscreens (See in requirements section for link) Here, either you don’t take anything and it will be the basic Revan and Malak Loadscreen, or you take this option and you’ll have Ahto East SithSpecter’s HD Loadscreen. 3) Gonto in Thor110’s Manaan Hotel restored room (INSTALLER VERSION) As showed in the screenshots, this will put Gonto Yas in the Hotel missing room, restored by Thor110. Make sure you install his mod first. It’s actually pretty consistent (not perfect but consistent) that he would be there, because he actually has some stuff to say about the murder. Just so you know, this option will add a computer, a locker, a table and 2 chairs in Gonto’s room, and will also give some Pazaak cards to Firith Me and make him look at them, towards his shelf (instead of standing in the center of his room like a true npc). WARNING : If you want the Sunry's murder recording enhancement, you'll need to download it first. This mod is very much recommended as it combines with Gonto to enhance the murder quest ! Make sure to do SMRE ---> missing room ---> Gonto. 4) A brand new crystal from Bogga the Hutt I’m not telling you why, for obvious reasons, but you might want to speak with this guy. He's got some interesting background. If you’re the kind of person who installs a lot of mods, including the amazing Crazy34’s lightsaber blade models, you might want to have a look at this. And if you aren’t, well, I can only recommend that you download his models and this option, but you do you anyway. This is an option because it has a requirement. You will still have Bogga and his side quest even if you don’t get that option. You will just lose a cool Viridian lightsaber crystal with a nice story and some buffs. There shouldn’t be any spelling, grammar or syntax error/mistake as I put love, time and focus on this, but if you do find one, please tell me so I can fix it (this works for every issue you might encounter). Don’t be too harsh, I’m French, and English is by no means my first language. Requirements 1) For the Loadscreen options : - ajdrenter’s Very nice Loadscreens - SithSpecter’s HD Loadscreens 2) For option 3 : Thor110’s Manaan Hotel restored room (INSTALLER VERSION) 3) For option 4 : Crazy34's lightsaber blade models : (only the main part --vanilla sabers-- of his mod is needed) Installation Compatibility My mod is fully compatible with K1CP and RC-K1CP, as they are now (in 2025) the main reference for modders, at least the first one. More than compatible, they’re very much recommended ! It will obviously not be compatible with K1R, as it is meant to replace a big part of it. Please see option 1 for more information about the main compatibility issue you could encounter. I deeply linked my mod to Sao's Sleheyron : Story mode. If you download his mod and play through it, my mod's connected characters will react differently and you will unlock new dialogue options. I'd recommend installing his mod before mine. You can now find a compatibility patch for those who use the NPC Diversity Pack. Make sure you have both mods installed first. Its goal is to restore Jolan's Nikto appearance. By not taking it, he will be a Rodian at the entry of Ahto City and a Nikto in the Tournament area. I'm pretty sure you don't want that to happen. If you have Alien Ported VO for K1, just install the Tournament after it. I didn't want to change Jolan's language for several reasons (time consuming, not enough Nikto lines diversity, Rodian sounding better in regard to his behavior, etc.). I highly recommend downloading Jorak Uln's Manaan complete overhaul to give some fresh air to the game and to the Tournament itself. If not already done, Kexikus's Skyboxes too. It includes Manaan as well as every other planet in the game. While I'm at it, if you're interested in more new content for Manaan, I also refer you to my speeder fast travel mod. Known issues Basically none, except that you'll probably be lagging a little due to the fact that this is now an actual galactic event (meaning with way more NPCs in it). It will appear around the Sith embassy and its corridor, as well as for the end cutscene but that shouldn't be too much of a problem considering it will vanish during the dialogue. Thanks 1) @Fair Strides for giving me permission to use the amazing K1R’s Pazaak Tournament files and giving some advices. 2) @N-DReW25 for providing me with a working basis by extracting the files from K1R. 3) @SAO1138 for his excellent and detailed advices as well as his creative suggestions. I’m glad I could link my work to his. 4) @CapitaineSpoque for his regular help on making me understand how the game works, and for making the "very nice style" loadscreens. 5) @Crazy34 for his amazing new lightsaber blades models. 6) @Thor110 for his work on restoring the missing chamber. It was a lot of fun to use it. 7) All the amazing people who made the awesome tools I used for this mod : Holocron Toolset, Kotor Scripting Tool, ChangeEdit and HoloPatcher, "Very nice" (@ajdrenter) and "HD" (@Sithspecter) Loadscreens. 8] The KOTOR and, more precisely, DeadlyStream and Nexusmods community (even more precisely, those who download the mod lol), as the game is still alive thanks to all of you. Permissions If you need more information, please contact me on DeadlyStream or Discord KOTOR / DeadlyStream server : “The_Chaser_One”.

THE SITH LORDS RESTORED CONTENT MOD ADD-ON: M4-78EP Unofficial Patch 1.0 1. Description: ---------- One of the most ambitious Kotor II mods is also one of its most controversial. The M4-78 Enhancement Project, or M4-78EP, was the culmination of years of hard work to restore the legendary Droid Planet of M4-78 back into Kotor II, however, the first releases of M4-78EP was plagued by two critical issues which gave the mod a bad reputation. 1) A mix of low-quality, amateurish voice acting and bizarre Droid filter choices. 2) Crippling lag in the Industrial Zone. Updates 1.3 and 1.5 of the M4-78EP were intended to fix these two issues. The majority of the Droid VO is now reasonably competent for a fan mod and the lag in the Industrial Zone was fixed, however, these updates also added more problems which simply replaced the old issues with new issues. 1) The teleportation mechanic during the Radiation section was controversial with some players. 2) The removal of the side quest “Termination Required” during the Radiation section was controversial with some players. 3) Removal of content was unfinished in some places. The Security Droid trio which was removed spill spawn during the Radiation section and could be found if you ran backwards in the Industrial Zone before clearing the Radiation. 4) Kaah’s new dialogue in ES-05’s Archon Chamber was amateurishly written when you compare it to the old dialogue. 5) Having Vash and possibly Kaah be killed by the weak Sith Assassins you mow down throughout the game was hardly seen as an improvement over the old ending. 6) In the attempt to fix the lag an important placeable was deleted which prevented the side quest “Fixing Droids” from being completed. This mod, the M4-78EP Unofficial Patch, is the work of a coalition of modder’s who have come together to fix M4-78 to improve the new content added in updates 1.3 and 1.5 whilst restoring the much beloved features which were removed in those updates from update 1.2. Features: Please note the following: Whilst M4-78EP 1.5 has language support for English and Russian the M4-78EP Unofficial Patch is ONLY SUPPORTS ENGLISH AT THIS TIME! Whilst M4-78EP 1.5 is available on the Steam Workshop via TSLRCM (English) + M4-78EP (English), the M4-78EP Unofficial Patch ONLY SUPPORTS THE DEADLSYTREAM VERSION OF TSLRCM AND M4-78EP! 2. Installation: ---------- Note: TSLRCM must be installed FIRST, M4-78EP 1.5 must be installed SECOND, and the M4-78EP Unofficial Patch must be installed THIRD, in that PRECISE order, and ALL other mods are to be installed AFTER these three mods. 1. First, you will need to get the most up-to-date version of TSL Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM 1.8.5). It's available for download here: http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/578-tsl-restored-content-mod/ Please note that M4-78EP will NOT work AT ALL without TSLRCM. 2. Follow TSLRCM's installation instructions. 3. Once TSLRCM is successfully installed, run M4-78EP.exe. Installer will ask you where you want to install the mod - it should figure out where TSLRCM is installed by itself, so you probably won't need to change that. If, for some reason, the installer shows an incorrect folder, make sure you change it to directory where Kotor II is installed (where swkotor2.exe is located, NOT any of subfolders), same as TSLRCM. 4. If you want to install the “British Female Warning Voice” open the “British Female Warning Voice” and copy the audio files from there into the “tslpatchdata” folder inside the M4-78 Unofficial Patch download and overwrite the existing audio files. Doing this will install the British Female Warning Voice instead of the American Female Warning Voice. 5. Run the HoloPatcher.exe inside the M4-78 Unofficial Patch download, navigate to your Kotor II install folder and click install. Warning: Never run the installer from inside the archive! Always extract the archive onto your hard drive first. 6. While we try our best to make this mod as bug-free as possible, with the many options of KOTOR2 and our small testing team it can happen that bugs, including critical ones, pass through. We will fix them, so check our site for any potential updates and patches. 7. Install any of the included Bonus Addons from the “Bonus Addons” folder that you’d like. Note: If you plan on using Ashton Scorpius’ TSL Better Male Twi'lek Heads mod, install that mod, open the folder “TSL Better Male Twi'lek Compatibility Patch” in the “Bonus Addons” folder, choose between Vanilla Quality and High Quality, and copy the two files from one of these folders and place them into your Override folder. 8. Install any other compatible mods you desire now. 4. Uninstall ---------- Not possible. Make sure you backup your Kotor II game folder before installing TSLRCM and M4-78EP 1.5 to ensure that you can go back and reinstall your mods without M4-78EP 1.5 should you change your mind. 5. Known Issues --------- - When entering 812DRO, the Droid Manufacturing Module, the side quest Deadly Upgrade reactivates again for unknown reasons should it have already been completed. - Whilst the shadow of the Droid Construction Boss model, L5-65’s model, was fixed I suspect it has a few problems. The Environmental Zone’s Guardian Droid boss fight appears to be doing a T-Stance when Kaah has his final line and, when talking to L5-65, the Droid will “Moon Walk” on the spot without stopping. - The Escort Droid will still teleport you to 810DRO and 811DR (M4-78EP 1.5’s Droid Manufacturing and Research & Development modules) instead of 812DRO which is the new Droid Manufacturing Module made by Thor110 which merges 810DRO and 811DRO into one module. - Kaah Ohtok’s unique death scene if you spare him in the Environmental Archon Chamber and then try to “recruit” him into your Party may not fire properly. If this is the case and it can’t be fixed the option to fake recruit him may be removed, however, do know that this scene not firing should not break your game. 6. Future Plans --------- - Improve Korriban content. - Restore the bonus side quests for HK-47, T3-M4, and G0-T0 during the Radiation section of M4-78. - Rename every single Droid on M4-78 to make Droids easier to identify. For example, instead of “CS-36” he’d be named “Greeter Droid CS-36” and journal entries will specify that detail so that he should stand out amongst the plethora of CS named Droids. - Give every single named Droid a unique texture to make Droids easier to identify. For example, if CS-36 was the only droid that was colored hot pink and the journal entry said he was hot pink it would be easier to identify that Droid. An optional HD pack is also planned for these new Droid textures. - Reword and reorganize certain Droid dialogues so that the dialogue is more consistent with the rest of the game. - Add more Party dialogue interjections throughout M4-78. Some of these could be lifted from other parts of the game, spliced together, or created with AI so that Party members can actually interact with the planet they are on. Do note that Hanharr uses alien VO and can be written to actually talk about M4-78. - Fix the 1.5 content where you could use Bao-Dur to break into the Environmental Zone first before going to the Industrial Zone. - Add more Power Cores. - Revoice Master Vash with a human voice actor, NO AI, and change the ending to allow her to reunite with the others on Dantooine. 7.

Hello everyone! This mod replaces the fair weather in the Telos Restoration Zone with a thunderstorm—complete with lightning, thunder sounds, and rain—and darkens the sky, much like what was seen in the early demo of KOTOR 2. The files are loose files intended for the 'Override' folder; therefore, conflicts may arise if the files '231TEL.are' and '233TEL.are' are already present or have been modified/added to the module by another mod.
