    This mod will change the appearance of the armour for Bendak Starkiller. It will now be a unique yellow with custom emblems. The theme of the logos is that of an exploding star (hence the ring name "Starkiller"). His armour is in excellent condition (no battle damage), due to his earnings and the life of ease of a retired celebrity. The player will also have the option of obtaining the armour from Ajuur the Hutt, through dialog after the death match. The golden armour is based on a collaboration of work between myself and LordRevan999 (at LucasForums). I drew all the logos, and sent them to LR999 to add to his golden armour, but since then, his mod has gone unfinished. I have tried to re-create the colour scheme he came up with, even though I've never actually had a copy of his texture file. As a result, everything in this package is my own work, but heavily inspired by our collaboration. Since the overall look of the armour is so well done, I think that this should be shared with the Kotor modding community. I have held off releasing this mod for several years, in hopes that LordRevan999 would one day finish his mod. Since that doesn't look like it will happen, please enjoy this version, with thanks to LR999 for the inspiration. As a bonus, I've included a skin and icon that are based on the image of Bendak shown in the Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide.

    This mod changes the Male Caucasian 04 head, to a (hopefully) slightly less dopey, and higher quality version. Dark side faces are included. These textures are quite large (2048*2048), so if you happen to be playing on a laptop from '98, you should probably resize them a bit.

    I'm currently working on the turret minigame in KotOR I. My goals in order of priority are: Make the game more challenging Scale the challenge of the minigame with your difficulty setting Improve graphics, effects, and audio Diverse enemy types Remove "random" encounters and make it so the battles occur: Once when leaving Taris Once when arriving per planet Once when leaving per planet Once when escaping the Leviathan Once when approaching the Star Forge Optional challenges Unique stages - not always be six interceptors flying the same loops around you, but different numbers and types of ship, different skybox and eyecandy, different movement for the Ebon Hawk, different objectives (escape, survive, destroy x many fighters in a certain amount of time) Persistent health - don't take too much damage, or it will be there next time you fight! You must go to a specific location to receive ship repairs, or leverage your own (or companions) repair skill to "heal" the ship Experience gains for destroying fighters A questline with T3-M4 that allows you to upgrade the ship's health A vendor to install more powerful and unique-looking turrets on your ship While all of these goals are achievable based on what I've observed by going over the data, I know that it's easy to over-promise and under-deliver. Therefore these are mentioned as "possibles". Those in bold above are almost complete. I mention the other goals because I'd like to describe how these could be achieved if my other commitments make it impossible for me. So, I will go over the more ambitious goals in case future modders are interested in how to implement the changes. Remove "random" encounters and make it so unique battles occur This one is pretty easy. At the moment all minigame encounters use exactly the same module: M12ab. Even the battle that occurs over Taris, with it's unique skybox and background Leviathan is still just M12ab. What is actually happening is some scripting that occurs when the encounter is being loaded. When going in to the minigame, KotOR is evaluating your global variables to determine what skybox and audio cues to use (or in the case of the HK-47 practice, whether to apply the holographic visual effect) - in the case of the Taris escape, an animation is actually playing on a loop around you that gives the appearance of the starfield, Taris in the distance, and the Leviathan hovering nearby. This animation can be found in m12ab_01a.mdl/mdx. I've cut out a section of the animation to show you the awesome model that comes in the mdl: In order to create unique encounters, my thoughts are to either create new modules from copies of M12ab, or to use expanded scripting to make the existing module more flexible. I haven't yet tried duplicating the module and seeing how it would effect things, but that's next on my list. If you wanted to go very basic though, you could just use MDLedit to modify m12ab_01a.mdl, and change the LSP_planettari01 texture mentioned in it to some other planet texture. I'm completely new to modelling and haven't animated a thing, so just how far I am able to go with this and how much I can learn is anyone's guess. However if there are any talented animators out there who wanted to create a unique animation for a space battle encounter that takes place prior to boarding the Star Forge, you can find an *awesome* Hammerhead model from KotOR II in 104PERg.mdl: Unique Stages This would come down to scripting. It's possible to decompile all scripts apart from the heatbeat script (thanks to Thor110 for decompiling all the others). Inside the scripts, you can play around a lot with when the encounter ends and under what conditions. Even in the M12ab.are file, it is possible to do a lot with the nature of the encounter. To give you some examples of what is definitely possible: Spawn fewer enemy fighters - this is a simple matter of deleting the enemy structures in the .are: Make the Ebon Hawk fly around - this can be done by changing the track listed under the player structure. You could "hijack" the track of an enemy structure, or create your own custom one in Blender. I've had an absolute blast give the Hawk the m12ab_mgt06 track, making it progress at 1/4 speed, and playing the turret game in a moving ship, with interceptors flying all around me Make the enemies faster This can be done by editing the enemy tracks in blender - just shrink down the animation to play over a fewer number of frames. At the moment, the interceptors in my modded game are flying around 33% faster, and boy oh boy does it make the game better GIve enemies more hp, more powerful weapons, more rapid-firing weapons, or unique models Again, just a matter of making changes to the .are. At the moment, I have 4 normal fighters and 2 "elite" fighters that are colored the same red as the Sith heavy troopers. The elite fighters absolutely rip you apart - they deal +33% damage, fire twice as fast, and have double the hp, so I'm having to actually think in the game and prioritise targets. Make the enemies chase you while the Ebon Hawk performs evasive manoeuvres This is just a matter of editing those tracks. I'm no animator/modeller but this would appear to be the most achievable change to make to the game even as an amateur (though it does require that unique copies of M12ab can be created and function, something I have not tested). What you could do for example is create a simple track that would float up and down and side to side, then copy that and move the track back and to the side by a certain distance, maybe give it an additional keyframe at the start so that it gives the illusion of following your ship movement rather than mirroring it. Naturally if the interceptors were behind you the whole time they would rip you to pieces - at this point I am playing around with the possibility of scripting to adjust the frequency of their shots. Inaccuracy is a good variable to adjust - it is a percentage chance to miss you, so this would make prolonged fire from interceptors survivable. Rate of fire is another that would work in this type of situation, it is something like number of shots per second - however in a tail pursuit this may make the fighters shooting you seem a bit odd if they are either constantly rapid-firing or firing on a precision perfect shoot-wait x seconds-shoot-wait x seconds pattern. There's a lot more I want to say about modding this minigame but I've just looked at the clock so it will have to wait. Suffice to say that there is a LOT of unused potential in KotOR from this game, that was very likely left on the wayside by BioWare due to time constraints.

    I'm a suspicious person by nature, and I never like to promise anything before I deliver... But, I may be done by the end of September. I just completed a few tests and things are going well. Like, "woah, did that actually decompile???" well. There are three tasks remaining: Differentiating the different types of loops (they look really similar in byte code) Pairing the logic with the stack to refer to the proper variables Generating output whose style doesn't offend the reader When that's complete I'll test against all 2,500+ K1/K2 NCS files. As long as life doesn't get in the way, I'll have a beta for K1/K2 soon. 😣 Wakanda Forever

    Summary This mod alters the appearance of Jedi robes worn by party members in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, giving them new models based on their basic clothing with added cloaks. Installation Note: If you intend to use this mod in conjunction with either my Cloaked Jedi Robes or Cloaked Hybrid Robes, they should be installed first. Extract files from the downloaded archive. Run Fashion_I_Cloaked_Party_Robes_K1.exe. Select one of the installation options: a) 100% Brown b) Brown-Red-Blue Click "Install Mod" and select your game directory (default name SWKOTOR). Uninstallation Remove the installed files or replace from backups if necessary. Compatibility This mod uses my Supermodel Port for K1. This makes it super cripplingly incompatible with any other mods that alter the game's supermodels (the S_Female and S_Male files) unless the other mods utilize my Supermodel Port assets. These edits are necessary to give the player supermodels the bones required for the cloaks to animate. This mod's supermodels include my Supermodel Fixes for K1. So you don't have to worry about using that, or if these files are overwriting those. Use this mod's files. These supermodel edits somewhat alter some animations in the game. These adjustments were necessary to prevent the old stuff from clipping with the new stuff. It's essentially what Obsidian did when they added the new bones to the supermodel, but I've reversed the changes a bit to bring the animations closer to the original K1 style. Some models aren't so happy with the new rig. I've made some hotfixes for such cases where I can, but they won't be compatible with other mods that alter these models. I've instructed TSLPatcher not to overwrite these. P_JuhaniBB.mdl and P_Juhani.mdx are two such files that will be skipped. If you use the Juhani Catlike Head Mod, I suggest that you use my version because I happened to fix the same thing that mod fixes anyway. You can copy those two files manually from tslpatchdata to Override. While this mod adds skirt bones to the player supermodels, at this time it does not add the bones or the necessary animations to the cutscene models. So the skirt flaps may appear stiff in scenes that use those. Credits KOTOR Tool – Fred Tetra TSLPatcher – stoffe, with updates by Fair Strides NWMax – Joco KOTORMax & MDLEdit – bead-v waifu2x – nagadomi This mod contains assets ported from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords by Obsidian Entertainment. Permisisons I hereby grant nobody except myself permission to upload some or all of this mod anywhere for any reason. For any reason. I have uploaded a separate mod resource with essentially all of these assets free for anyone who wants to use them. But I want to keep them separate for simplicity's sake, so this release here is strictly a mod. Disclaimers OBSIDIAN IS THE NEW BLACK. DON'T WEAR BIOWARE AFTER LABOR DAY.

    There's no issue with pulling other mods to pieces to see how they were made. That's an excellent way to learn and I encourage all people new to modding to do so. Acknowledgement for such a thing is not required, although it is common courtesy. What is against the site rules is stealing/claiming someone else's work as your own, or reusing/redistributing someone else's work (in whole or part) without their permission. As far as LIP files go, they must be stored in a MOD for the specific module they belong to, placed inside the Lips folder. In your case the module you are working in is the Lehon Central Beach, UNK_M41AA. The associated MOD is \lips\unk_m41aa_loc.mod. Each LIP file name needs to match the VO_ResRef for the associated line in the DLG. For example, Mission's "No - this isn't happening! It can't be happening!" line in unk41_mission.dlg has the VO_ResRef nm41aamiss04000_ and has a matching nm41aamiss04000_.lip in \lips\unk_m41aa_loc.mod. As with many first-timers, I gather your intention was to just dump a manually edited DLG into the Override. I would strongly advise against this. Doing so creates compatibility issues. Since you'll need to dynamically inject new LIP files into an existing MOD (doing a hard overwrite of that is also strongly advised against), you'll have to learn how to create a TSLPatcher setup. While you are at it, you can also have it dynamically patch the DLG in another MOD (this time for the module itself) in the Modules folder. This will likely take you a while to wrap your head around, so I would suggest the first thing to do is to download TSLPatcher and read the included PDF for an overview of how it works. Once you have done that, come back and provide details of all your mod's components (specifics of exactly what you have changed and how) and someone can guide you through creating a setup for it.
