    The female Class 8 / G (PFBG) model has a much shorter collar than either the Class 7 / F (PFBF) or Class 9 / H (PFBH) models. Additionally, the collar in the G model has skin weights for the neck bone (neck_g). These two factors mean it doesn't appear to suffer any clipping, or at least nothing notable. The collar in the F/H models is completely weighted to the upper torso bone (torsoupr_g), which is equivalent to the lower neck bone in head models (necklwr_g). That makes the collar entirely rigid in regards to head movement. The male G and H models have neck weights on their collars, although the F models still lack them. The general shape and proportions though in relation to the male heads seems like it precludes them from the same clipping issues. I've uploaded a fix for it here: @ebmar, if you are interested in learning how to go about it, I can post some step-by-step details.

    Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic II : The Sith Lords : The Expanded Galaxy Project The Expanded Galaxy Project aims to combine both games into one installation utilizing the second games engine and allowing the player to select whether to choose the first, or the second game, as well as the bonus option of Brotherhood of Shadow : Solomon's Revenge, an excellent mod for the first game which I have also ported over to the second game. All three parts of the project now have an installer! Which handles everything. The project is still very much a work in progress, I suggest just trying out the main project for most users as the port and brotherhood are likely to have a lot more bugs! Brotherhood Of Shadow : Solomon's Revenge! This is a short trailer for the KotOR Port, a part of the Expanded Galaxy Project, the trailer was made for me by CatDaddy407, so a big thanks to them for that! I thought I would drop a link to the video here for people to see, though it doesn't show anything special, but it does highlight the state of the project quite well. NOTE : The port is currently not available on DeadlyStream and is only available on ModDB or from the GitHub repository. NOTE : The port is an add-on for the Expanded Galaxy Project. Expanded Galaxy Project The goal of the Expanded Galaxy Project is to provide as much additional content for both games as possible utilising the second games engine. Please join the Discord to find out more about the project and to get access to the latest patches. ( Link at the bottom of this post ) Install Instructions Progress & Plans Current progress for the Expanded Galaxy Project overall is as follows : 1 : Expanded Galaxy Project : Main : Demo (Complete) <-- 100% --> The base of the project is complete. ( Early Demo ) 2 : Expanded Galaxy Project : Port : Demo (Complete) <-- 100% --> The base of the port is complete. 3 : Expanded Galaxy Project : Brotherhood Of Shadow : Solomon's Revenge : Demo (Complete) <--- 100% ---> Brotherhood Of Shadow : Solomon's Revenge has been ported in it's entirety and seems to work almost flawlessly. ( Early Demo ) There is still a lot left to be done, much of which is not documented anywhere currently. Mod Compatibility Overall I have heard that people generally have success installing other mods alongside this but not always or entirely, there are also still many issues remaining in the project on it's own. Currently I do not know what mods do or do not work with my project but I do plan to try and provide compatibility for as many mods as possible in the future. Note : texture, model, item and many other simple mods should work if installed after the rest of the required or optional files for the project. KotOR Modding Tools Here is a list of tools that made this project possible. Included Mods Below is a list of all mods that are included with the Expanded Galaxy Project. Contributions Here is a list of contributors that helped early on with advice on KotOR modding or who contribute to the project heavily. I wanted to say a big thank you to all the creators of the tools that made this project possible and I wanted to provide an accurate list of the tools I used to make this project possible here, I also want to say thank you to everybody that has supported or contributed ideas to the project, if your name is not found anywhere above please feel free to let me know and I will make sure to include you and your contribution above.

    KotOR 2 - Patch 1.0b (UK, SP, GER, FR, ITA versions) View File DESCRIPTION This is the Patch for update the 4 CD's version (English, Spanish - Español, German - Deutsch, French - Française, Italian - Italiano) from 201.420 to 210.427 (211.427 UK) version (1.0a to 1.0b) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOWNLOAD Click the Download button of this page and choose the Download Language File desired (UK, SP, DE, FR, IT) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ INSTALLATION Just double click on the "KotOR2 Patch from 201420 to (...)(...).exe" file. The Patch finds automatically the KotOR 2 The Sith Lords directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTES If you don't know your version game, start the game and click "UPDATE" option at the launcher. It tells you which version of KotOR 2 TSL is installed. I'm not sure if this Patch works with the GOG, STEAM or COLLECTION versions. As far as I know, some of these versions are already updated. Before install the Patch 1.0b you need to install the Patch 1.0a. Can be found here: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1384-kotor-2-patch-10a-for-spanish-version/ (for the spanish version) https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1391-kotor-2-patch-10a-uk-ger-fr-ita-versions/ (for the english, german, french and italian versions) There is another Patch 1.0b file but I'm almost sure it's only for the US version of TSL.

    No I mean I need to unlock every door in the game for the sake of being able to test it easily, currently a lot are locked by default, high level to unlock, require keys or characters to unlock them from the storyline, so I need to go through every .utd script in the game and make sure they are all blank/default in their settings so that all doors can be opened in-game until I need to change them, but that will be for my project which I will not be starting until the base of every module has been ported and opened up. I am currently constructing module files for all the odd maps / extra mdl files that don't appear to have corresponding levels, there have been a few interesting maps so far, but I am not sure where some of them appear in the original game at the moment due to it being so long since I played them.

    I wish you the best of luck! I honestly can't wait to see how it all looks in the end!

    Finally got around to playing kotor 1 again and tested Mutilator57's theory out for myself and it also worked for me. The mod that had the 'n_darkjedim001'' in my case was from the mod Jorn's Saber Mod https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/240/ Thanks Mutilator57 for sharing your solution!

    Not a lot as I never worked with creating new modules. I know that missing textures don't matter while missing models crash the game (maybe not always though). The game stores the .txi information inside its textures, that is, in the .tpc as ebmar mentioned. It's only when using the converted .tga files that you need the extra .txi file to keep this information. I'm not 100% sure about how KotOR Tool handles txi information when doing batch extraction (as I assume you did that). I know that it shows the txi information when you use it to open (not extract!) a texture. And since the batch extraction gives you .tpcs IIRC, the information should also still be there. But depending on how you continued from there, the information might no longer be there.

    As an addition to Kexikus' insight- for testing purpose [and if you're not using custom textures], the best option would probably go with using the vanilla TPC format; as TXI data are efficiently stored there. By then, you will not misses any relevant shader for the textures.

    Sorry to bump this but . . . ^ _ ^ lots more photos but chose one here that shows the nice shadows against the wall and a few others. It appears the lightmaps / txi / vis files were just hard to find. P.S. Big Thanks to JCarter426 for answering some questions and helping me fix the door for this map, for some reason I was not making the link between GenericType and the list in GenericDoors.2da. You can check out progress by following the link in my signature, for now I have removed the yavin files as I have fixed more since. Thor110

    If this mod is truly dead (I really hope this is not the case, but many fans fear that the mod actually is dead), then please, at least, if Logan is reading this or You were actively involved in its development and still have the files You were working on, release the files with what You worked on so far! I understand it must be hard to let go, but let's face it: is it better for all the hard work to just "rot away", forgotten on some hard drive in an old PC, that is collecting dust in an attic, or would You prefer that people would be able to enjoy at least a part of Your hard work and creativity, with proper credit being given to Your effort! I am absolutely sure that all content made so far should be released, so that we could enjoy what has been made so far, and other young, dedicated modders could pick up the pace and continue Your excellent work! It could be uploaded to GitHub or even here and given "as is", and I bet lots of people would be much happier to play an incomplete mod than no mod at all! I know it must be hard to let years of work go, but it would be a pity to let pride completly lose and destroy the very work You spent so much of your youths on! Let's face it, it's been 10 years, it is a mod for a 15-year old game, it might not even run on the operating systems we will have 5-10 years from now :(( I know it is sad, but this is the reality, I am sure everyone will really appreciate being able to just play the mod as is right now, with all its missing content and bugs! Some of us are in their mid 30s to their 50s, we might not even live long enough to get to see the full mod released, if it ever gets finished...

    Ok, again sorry to revive the same dead thread... BUT! I bring good news! After some playing around, I managed to isolate the issue due to a file in the Override folder; don't know how I missed it all this time. Removing n_darkjedim001 from my Override seems to have done the trick. I still don't know from which mod the file came from or the nature of the incompatibility, but at this point, who cares? Anyway, thanks to everyone in this thread for the help!

    [TUTORIAL] - KotOR Modding Tutorial Series These tutorials should be enough to get anybody started making levels for the game using the available resources and tutorials / tools etc IMPORTANT NOTE : A lot of the tools I use are outdated now that Holocron Toolset is out, however I still prefer working with each filetype as I am use to the programs that edit them directly that I use throughout this tutorial. So if you are using Holocron Toolset or KotOR Level Editor, things will be different, but the general idea should be the same. I suggest trying out Holocron Toolset if you want an all in one program for editing levels, it does everything KotOR Level Editor does and most of what all the tools I have below do, except perhaps findrefs, dencs, kotor gui editor, walkswitch, anicam, ptheditor and lip synch editor, but it does everything the rest of the programs do and it might even do some of the things from the programs I just mentioned, I am not sure! Available Source Material & Tools These are the tools I use for modding the game. I also use the KotOR Level Editor which requires Unity, but I started modding using many of these tools and tried to make sure I had a tool for working with each and every filetype if possible. Lots of source material is available as well as many tutorials, some old, some new and very detailed information on the filetypes and the game itself. .nss scripts for every script I have been able to access from both games are included within the .mod files for my project which can be opened with the latest ERFEdit.exe available via the KotOR Modding Tools Section on the Downloads page of this site. ( NOTE : I will be removing them when the project reaches a final release, but I will make sure to post them somewhere for people to access ) If there are not then I have either not included them for some reason and will do in future as soon as I notice or I have not been able to decompile them using DeNCS.jar and nwnnsscomp.exe. ( I think below is an example of the only scripts that I haven't included .nss counterparts for and they can easily be decompiled using the following tutorial anyway, I believe the .nss scripts for them exist in another level and I chose not to put them into multiple levels, either way I have them in my source scripts folder ) Some scripts from KotOR1 require the files to be trimmed of some excess bytes, there is some information on it around here somewhere and I will post a link to it when I next find it, the scripts in question are some of those from Tatooine, Manaan, Kashyyyk and the Unknown World. Actually Decompiling Scripts KotOR2 Expanded Galaxy Thor110/Expanded-Galaxy-Main: Expanded Galaxy Main (github.com) KotOR1 in TSL Expanded Galaxy Thor110/Expanded-Galaxy-Port: Expanded Galaxy Port (github.com) Brotherhood of Shadow : Solomon's Revenge in TSL Expanded Galaxy Thor110/Expanded-Galaxy-Hood: Expanded Galaxy Hood (github.com) PLEASE do not redistribute the entire project anywhere without my express permission, but feel free to learn from the source material to make as many modifications to the game as you wish. If you wish to work on the project or contribute by offering or allowing your mod to be included with the project feel free to contact me on here or elsewhere. In future I might go beyond these basic scripting tutorials and add other types of tutorials such as texturing and modelling that are focused around KotOR2 TSL or working with others towards making a comprehensive KotOR modding guide. Most material I write will be aimed at KotOR 2 TSL, though alot of the structure of the game is very similar between them both if not almost identical. For now here are some really basic written tutorials for getting setup with Blender and modding for KotOR or just messing around with the models from the game. I will continue to work on these providing screenshots and more as necessary. Blender Tutorial 00 - Getting Blender Setup Blender Tutorial 01 - Asset Editing ( INCOMPLETE TUTORIAL ) Blender Tutorial 02 - Creating A Placeable Blender Tutorial 03 - Character Editing Outdated Tutorials & Intro Individually written and quite specific tutorials, mostly scripts and guidance towards achieving specific goals or tasks. 01 - [TUTORIAL] - Creating a Module for TSL using a KotOR Map! The first tutorial should be a great guide for porting a level from the first game into the second game as well as that it shouldn't be too difficult to work out how to do it the other way around from there on out! These are some useful links that I have found around that might guide you towards making mods for the game. Useful Links for learning to mod TSL & KotOR Thor110 In the following post in this topic are many more tutorials that I am working on to guide people through the process of making mods for KotOR.

    Check out the post in my Signature :) I have ported every single map from K1 over to K2 now and am now re-creating module files for maps that appear to go un-used. Yavin Station was also one of my favourite locations and I always wondered why it wasn't in the second game or didn't have more of a purpose. But so far only 3 Korriban modules don't work, funnily enough three of the last Tombs, not sure why but I am sure I can fix it. Thor110
