7 pointsI was wondering if anyone would be willing to add glass overlays to these upscaled Nar Shaddaa windows for me. These would be for personal use but obviously anyone could download them off this request page if they chose to. For illustration purposes I have attached these textures as PNGs but to save you some time, I've also made a DropBox link here where these textures are in TGA format. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

4 pointsPlease see the official GitHub repo to get support and find updates: https://github.com/OldRepublicDevs/NCSDecomp NCSDecomp - Turn Your Compiled KOTOR Scripts Back Into Readable Code! Ever wanted to see what's inside those compiled .ncs script files from KOTOR? Or maybe you found a mod with scripts you want to understand or modify? NCSDecomp can take those compiled script files and turn them back into readable source code that you can actually understand and edit! What does it do? Simply put, NCSDecomp converts compiled KOTOR scripts (.ncs files) back into source code (.nss files). It's like having a translator that converts the game's internal script format back into human-readable code. Works with both KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2! How to use: There are two ways to use NCSDecomp - a simple graphical program (GUI) or command-line tools. Most users will want the GUI version! Option 1: The Easy Way (GUI - Recommended!) 1. Download the NCSDecomp folder 2. Double-click NCSDecomp.exe (Windows) or NCSDecomp.app (Mac) 3. That's it! No Java installation needed - everything is included! Once it opens: Drag and drop any .ncs file onto the window to decompile it Or use File → Open to browse for files The decompiled code will appear with syntax highlighting (color-coded keywords, functions, etc.) You can edit the code right there if you want Press Ctrl+S (or Cmd+S on Mac) to save your changes Open multiple files at once - each gets its own tab The program supports both KOTOR 1 and 2 (configurable in the settings) and attempts to unify most nwnnsscomp.exe variants, but has mainly been tested with kotorscript and ktool's variants. Option 2: Command Line (For Advanced Users) If you prefer using the command line or want to automate tasks: Windows: .\NCSDecompCLI.exe -i "script.ncs" -o "script.nss" --k2 Mac/Linux: ./NCSDecompCLI -i "script.ncs" -o "script.nss" --k2 This reads script.ncs and creates script.nss with the decompiled code. Use --k1 for KOTOR 1 scripts, or --k2 for KOTOR 2 scripts. Decompile an entire folder: .\NCSDecompCLI.exe -i "scripts_folder" -r --k2 -O "output_folder" This processes all .ncs files in the folder (including subfolders) and saves the results to your output folder. Features: Works with both KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2/TSL scripts Beautiful graphical interface with syntax highlighting Edit decompiled scripts and compile them back Round-trip verification - see if your edited code compiles correctly Batch process entire folders of scripts at once View bytecode if you're curious about the low-level details Self-contained - no Java installation needed! Cross-platform - works on Windows, Mac, and Linux What can you do with it? Decompile .ncs files to see the original source code Understand how game scripts work Edit scripts and recompile them for mods Analyze scripts from your favorite mods Batch process entire script folders quickly Troubleshooting: "Error: nwscript file not found" Make sure you haven't deleted or moved the tools folder that came with the download The program should find everything automatically, but if you get this error, check that the tools folder is in the same directory as the executable "Program won't start" (Windows) Windows might be blocking it. Right-click NCSDecomp.exe → Properties → Check "Unblock" → Apply Try running as Administrator if you get permission errors "Program won't start" (Mac) You may need to allow the app in System Preferences → Security & Privacy Right-click the app and select "Open" the first time "Program won't start" (Linux) Make sure the executable has permission to run: Make sure the executable has permission to run: chmod +x NCSDecompCLI/NCSDecompCLI For more help: Run .\NCSDecompCLI.exe --help (Windows) or ./NCSDecompCLI --help (Mac/Linux) to see all available options Check the included README files for detailed documentation Source code and more info: https://github.com/bolabaden https://bolabaden.org Credits: Original Developers (The Foundation): JdNoa - Created the original script decompiler engine Dashus - Created the original GUI These developers did the hard foundational work that made this tool possible. The original DeNCS was an internal tool used by TSLRP (The Sith Lords Restoration Project) and was released to the public "as is" with no warranty. Current Maintainer: th3w1zard1 - Complete rewrite and modernization This version represents a near-complete rewrite and modernization of the original DeNCS tool. While based on the original developers' foundational work, the current version has been extensively revamped with a new GUI, modernized codebase, cross-platform support, and many new features. The core decompilation concepts from the original work remain, but the implementation has been significantly rewritten for modern development practices.

4 pointsFor those who are hungry for updates, thanks for all the kind words and support. As holidays are around the corner, my free-time has been a bit taxed lately as I strike the balance between KotOR things and spending time with my and my fiance's family. (Not to mention keeping up with my real job 😬) However, I did spend some time formalizing some of the various "wishlist" features, as well as other pending investigations within the repository issues view. Most upcoming work on my radar for this project is of the unexciting sort. I want to adjust the way I'm modelling game objects in the patching framework to better reflect the underlying inheritance in the base game (i.e. Functions that take a CSWCObject can accept a CSWCCreature, which is derivative, as valid input, etc). I also want to improve/expand the address database system. Right now, they're being stored in plain-text TOML format, which is fine at the current scale, but as this project has grown, this system is already becoming unwieldy. I'm looking to swap to using SQLIte, such that we can have efficient, live, swappable local databases that we can just dump address data directly out Ghidra into. Finally, kotor 2 reverse engineering just needs more work. Kotor 1 is in a great place, such that if we were only targeting that game, I could really accelerate this project. But since I'm endeavoring to provide a solid framework for both games, some TL&C is required to get kotor 2 at least somewhat up to speed. I likley will be giving DarthOuroboros's GhidraMCP suggestion a shot to see if that can accelerate things more here. As a lot of the work to be done is mostly comparative reverse engineering, which I hope falls into the low-complexity class of problem that AI typically excels at. As always let me know if there are any questions or suggestions! P.S. @ajdrenter Galaxy map stuff would be pretty interesting, I've added an issue for me to investigate that at some point in the future. Thanks for the suggestion!

2 pointsHello. I request permission to publish textures using elements from your mod. Example:
-
2 pointsAs I said on the DS Discord, it's literally a nothingburger. It's pure concept art at this stage. The developer is a company started by Hudson earlier this year. Come back in 2030 and it might have a release date.
-
2 pointsI got it now. Been able to extract and install it with the help of 7-zip. Thanks
-
2 pointsLate answer, but this could be a possibility ye depending on how much content in introduced in my mod. However, it would require a lot of balancing for the enemies. Raising to 30 could already be pretty cool. We'll see how things go as time goes by
-
2 pointsWatching your progress on this very closely. This is the most exciting thing in KotOR modding in a long time in my opinion. The placeables extension is fantastic, would like to see the same thing for the galaxy map as I know it has a similar limit. Also transcending the limits of appearance.2da would be amazing although I know this probably requires a huge amount of manual effort.
-
2 pointsAnother little demo: Here I show off directly accessing 2DA values from scripts
-
2 pointsWhat do you mean by "future skill checks"? There are already skill checks in dialogue that add more skill based dialogue responses should said skill be a certain level. So this is the Loganverse team's latest rebrand I take it? As SH has already said, they seldom collaborate with others or share their own assets with modders. I had no idea who this is, I tried searching for them on YouTube and the only thing that came up was a Let's Play channel. The thing about Kotor Machiminas is that what you see on screen isn't as deep or as complex as the scene itself depicts. You might see an awesome scene with combat and the like but in reality what's going on behind the scenes is that NPCs are being directed to do things via JC's Toolbox and what you might think is an epic cutscene might actually be 5 separate choppy in-game cutscenes that were recorded and edited together to look like one scene when in reality they aren't. When it comes to any sort of animation, what isn't seen on screen doesn't need to be animated - this is especially true with 3D animation. I say this because something that might look cool in a Machimina might not actually work properly in-game as a mod. Remember how Revan and Kreia used Darth Malak's Lightsaber pose? In-game the ability to use blasters, the ability to use security on a door, or dialogue animations might be broken as those were never seen in the movie and thus could be left broken. Even if you ignore the fact that SWST and Varkor take their time making VO, there only value as voice actors for the ROR mod is for the character Revan and we aren't even up to writing that character's dialogue let alone finalizing his script. There will definitely be voice acted characters before Revan, so why would we want famous examples like SWST and Varkor for those characters when we can have unsung actors play these roles and do a good job at those roles (and not take 3-5 years to produce the lines for those roles too). And should by some miracle we do finish the entire mod and get to voicing Revan should these two be unable, unwilling, or no longer be here to voice the character we will inevitably have to look for different people. We are working on Episode Two and the patch for Episode One, though SH is right in saying that a collaboration at this stage is very very unlikely. I can assure you, work for Episode Two is well underway and it is going well without a major collaboration at this present time.

1 pointHey everyone! My Name is Lane. Some of you know me from Kotor Speedrunning, and others from my various Youtube exploits. I don't ever really post on Deadly Stream, but I've been lurking in and around the KotOR modding community for about a decade now. I have a degree in computer Science and decided to put it to good use, and reverse engineer KotOR 1 (the GoG version). This has been an on-going project for about 2-3 years now, and I've been sharing my progress with friends, and in some Youtube Videos. However, I've pretty much hit a wall with what I can do with this effort now. So I wanted to release my progress publicly, so other smart and clever people can start doing fun stuff with this. Linked below is a Google Drive with several useful things: A Ghidra SARIF export that contains all data types, function labels, parameters, Classes, and other additions I've made A Ghidra Format XML that contains the labels and function adjustments I've worked on. This is lighter weight than the SARIF file, but has more limitations when it comes to import fidelity. A generated `.h` file, that contains the Header information I have pieced together over time. Even lighter-weight, and more limited than the above What this is not: True Debug Symbols for kotor BioWare Intellectual Property A runnable or compilable program Kotor's Source Code A reverse engineering of Kotor 2 A reverse engineering of the Steam version * * A note about Kotor 1 Steam: While this reverse engineering effort targeted the GoG release of KotOR 1, the Steam version has MANY similarities; often times having identical memory addresses for most functions. Any Patch made for the GoG version can be pretty reasonably ported to Steam with a little bit of effort. What this is: A decently representative result of what Kotor's debug symbols might look like (format and terminology pulled from the MacOS symbols, and existing NWN docs) A research-based labeling and reverse engineering of the GoG version of Kotor 1 A labor of love for the past several years that I'm happy to share Why this is cool/important: This provides a stepping off point for creating proper patches for KotOR 1 This also provides a means for researching underlying issues with things such as memory management, graphical limitations, and compatibility This also provides a researching angle for coming to understand some of the more mysterious file formats, and how they interact with the game itself There are also a variety of fundamental similarities between this and KotOR 2. Which may unlock some insights for that game This is also the first step towards a proper re-compilation (though that is a long-ways off) How do I use this? You need Ghidra installed, with a modern Java Runtime Create a new project, and import swkotor.exe (as purchased from GoG) Open the EXE in Ghidra's code browser When it asks if you want it analyzed, select 'Yes" The default analyzers are fine, technically you could speed this up by stripping out a few unneeded analyzers The analyzers will take several minutes to complete (progress can be tracked in the bottom right) Once the analyzers have run, we can proceed Select "File > Add To Program..." and select the SARIF (or XML) file (download below) The importer will analyze the symbols and apply them to the project You now have a decently labeled/decompiled instance of KotOR 1 Limitations: 99.9% of the functions have been labeled, however there were a few stragglers that I was never able to work out. These will appear as `FUN_<address>` 92.3% of the Data is labeled, with stragglers being named `DAT_address` Data Types are VERY incomplete. The labeled ones consist mostly of frequently used types, and known fields. Unknown fields are marked `field<index>_<offset>` Virtual Function calls are very under labeled (largely due to the difficultly of labeling vtables in Ghidra). Though you can determine the underlying function by applying the offset to the associated Class vtable. Most functions have only automatic variables defined within their decomp. Typing and purpose of underlying variables beyond function names, and parameter types, are left up to inference. Overlapping functions. Certain functions overlap in this compilation, due optimizations within the Visual C++ runtime. As a result some functions such as `GetProperty0x30` are shared by multiple classes, and thus lack a name-space. You can usually work out their purpose by checking the associated data type at that offset. If you used the XML import, you will be missing a lot of typing and Function Class/Namespace info Final Notes: Please feel free to ask me any questions about this effort, or any thing strange you might find within the decomp. I've grown to be quite the kotor expert over the years, and I'd be happy to share any insights. You can reach out to me on Discord @lane_d, I'm in the Kotor Reddit server, as well as the kotor speedrunning server. I will be periodically posting updates to this drive, whenever I get the chance to work on this more. If anyone has any major contributions they'd like to see added, please reach out! I'd be happy to chat. Both the XML and SARIF formats have some limitations, unfortunately they are the best I can do without publicly sharing Bioware intellectual property. If there is something missing from these that you are in need of, please reach out and I can see if I can help you. (Note: I will not be abetting piracy though. Buy the damn game, it goes on sale all the time) Google Drive Link Here

1 pointCool beans! I love stuff like this, that just gives you those little upgrades that KotOR really needs. EDIT: Actually, maybe I'm stupid, but there's now no menu music or background music on the Endar Spire. I just drag and drop the files and replace when prompted, right?
-
1 pointAn item property disguise will only work if it is applied to an armour/robe/clothing item in the torso slot that points to the appearance row to replace it with. The only way to do it via an armband would be to create a script that fires EffectDisguise. But it would be quicker and easier for you to just use KSE to edit your save and change the appearance there.
-
1 pointAn armband you say? Is your current appearance P_FEM_C_SML_01? If it is, have you tried wearing clothing and not armor/robes?
-
1 pointHello, Lane. One thing I would like to see happen, if possible at all, is to extend the numerical display for replies in dialogue files. The way it is now if you have more than 9 alternatives to choose among, the next ones have a "-" rather than the next number. It does not look good. Perhaps something can be done about it? There are not many such situations. The replies are very often limited to a number that is lower than 10, but it does happen in few cases. Example: in the Temple of the Ancient on Lehon. The file unk_comp.dlg contains an entry node with 11 replies. Cheers!
-
1 pointPer @th3w1zard1 , co-author of pyKotor and HoloPatcher: It's a rare unused feature of TSLPatcher that's off by default. HoloPatcher has it enabled. Basically tells you if a mod installs to a module directly (.rim/.erf/.mod) when it'd be 'shadowed' by a higher priority file existing in Override. See: https://github.com/th3w1zard1/PyKotor/wiki/Explanations-on-HoloPatcher-Internal-Logic#the-patch-loop Part of step 5. In other words, a mod has injected a file into a module (MOD), but a file in the Override will supersede it. On an unrelated note, why the hell is your game installed in the Users folder?
-
1 pointHow can you import a model from KOTOR 1 to KOTOR 2 and vice-versa? I understand that you need to use MDLOPs or MDLEdit, and then a 3d model software like blender with the add-ons available for download on this site, but I don't understand what steps actually need to be taken to make the model files from one game readable by the other game.
-
1 pointI would like to mention my favorite project in this regard. It's unfortunately still far from being complete, but it has much going for itself already. I'm talking of redrob41's upscale. He's released a K2 version, too.
-
1 pointI've been doing heavy development on a new version of the Holocron Toolset. This is a comprehensive and significant refactor and partial rewrite. Version v4.0.0 is now available for beta testing. Anyone wishing to try it may run one of the commands below depending on your OS, which will always launch the latest version retroactively: **Windows (PowerShell)** ```pwsh powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"; uvx holocrontoolset ``` **Linux / macOS (bash/zsh)** ```bash curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh && uvx holocrontoolset ```c Please post bugs in the kotor toolset's official discord: https://discord.gg/34QZKtThkU. Here you will also find our announcements, be able to post suggestions to recommend new features, and stay up to date with announcements. Source code as always will be available on <https://github.com/th3w1zard1/PyKotor>. Bugs may be posted here as well. If you prefer KOTOR tool or other options for comprehensive parsers and editors I suppose you may ignore this post completely and enjoy your day as normal. Otherwise suggestions, feature requests, and bug reports are appreciated to be able to further improvement of these modding tools for all. Thanks.
-
1 pointI was just wondering since I'm sure the question will arise. I'm not sure I'd ever use it myself given I don't "play" the game anyway these days, I just do beta testing for K1CP and the occasional personal mod.
-
1 pointToday's little demo: This patch was originally put together by @LanguageWriter123 (see here). He and I worked together to see what it would take to port this over, and today I decided to give it a shot, and I'm very pleased with the results! cc @darthbdaman as you asked about level caps earlier

1 pointHello there fellow modders! Inspired by Thor modding tutorial series (extremely useful ressource!), I decided to help people out there but with a more visual approach to the process. Here is my youtube playlist with my current tutorials currently covering Holocron Toolset and basic module edition, Basics about Blender/KotorBlender and texture editing : Youtube Tutorials Playlist . My next tutorial will be about converting models from K2 to K1, or the opposite operation, using MdlEdit. Know that I'll be streaming next week as well on my youtube channel (either on Friday or Saturday night) and it will basically be for people to ask whatever they'd like me to cover regarding modding. I hope i can help some people out sharing my modding knowledge Cheers!
-
1 pointThank you to everyone who commented on this thread. I never would have been able to put this together without y'all's help.
-
1 pointThe author still doesn't follow this thread! You're better off sending them a PM. Or tag them. Hey @DarthRevan101, read the last few posts.
-
1 pointOh and one thing I'd personally love to see fixed at the engine level would be to introduce alternate start in the Pazaak mini game! That has always bothered me immensely and it's actually fixed in K2. In the original game the AI has an unfair advantage as the Player starts each new round, making it statistically more difficult to avoid the so called "bust". I have produced a small mod that aims to make the mini game better overall but the best improvement would Indeed be this, if you could pull it off.
-
1 pointYou can set up TSL Patcher/Holo Patcher to do that for you using tokens. If you read through the readme included with TSL Patcher, it'll explain how tokens work.
-
1 pointimport to blender, for TSL, tick the checkbox for TSL at export.
-
1 pointIf it messes with timers, then I imagine anything related to OnHeartbeat events for placeables/modules/user defines would experience the sort of issues described.
-
1 pointHi @Salk I know what your talking about! The load behavior of a main menu load, a hard load (load game menu in game), an autosave load, and a quick load all have subtle but important differences. This has actually come up in the speedrun world a few times. For example, the effect duration glitch (in which they last a long time) only happens if you have previously loaded a hard save in this session (as that messes up the global timers). There's a variety of other small differences, between these functions; most of which I haven't dug too deeply into. But I'm unsurprised you've run into this before. If you could provide an example of a specific script related issue that performs differently for different loads (to use as a reference point), I'd be happy to mount a bit of an investigation into it when I get the time. As mentioned above, it's a busy time of year so this may be backlogged a bit. I'd also be happy to field any other questions! Thanks, Lane

1 pointThese are all 3D models, 1000'ish trees has been placed on the various room meshes, though many of them are simplistic 2D plane trees in a "X" shape (to look like trees from all angles). the big pine-like(?) tree is a full 3D model though. I have like 6 full 3D trees, various plants and bushes which are also full 3D models, then i have these which i can use in the backgrounds, usually quite far away from the player so he can't get too close to them, often placed on top of hills and cliffs:
-
1 pointYou'd need to first add the appearance to the appearance.2da and you'd need to set an armor item as a disguise to that new appearance. The disguise part is easy, it's the adding the appearance part that you need to overcome. This disguise would convert a female player into the TSL Mandalore so there'll be no problems there if that is something that you intend.

1 pointView File True Ajunta A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Author: N-DReW25 1.0.0 Release Date: 15.11.2025 Installation: Install the Kotor 1 Community Patch FIRST before this mod. Simply click on the HoloPatcher.exe, select your swkotor directory, click install and sit back and watch the HoloPatcher do its magic. If you want Ajunta Pall to appear transparent, please copy the textures from the "Transparent Skins" folder into your Override folder and overwrite the non-transparent skins that were installed by the HoloPatcher. Description: Ajunta Pall is a long dead Sith Lord who you encounter in Kotor I as a Force Ghost. The problem with Ajunta's depiction as a Force Ghost, other than George Lucas' (and later Disney's) retcons to how Force Ghosts work, is that Bioware was lazy when it came to making Ajunta's appearance and gave him a generic Dark Jedi model with a basic reskin that makes his robes a whitish blue color and they also gave him an energy shield effect to make him appear more ghostly. There have been two mods over the years that turn Ajunta Pall's appearance from an underpaid Bioware intern's first draft into something that you'd actually expect a Sith's Force Ghost to look like. In 2007, we saw the Ajunta Pall Unique Appearance mod by SilverEdge9 that reskinned the cut Jedi Council robe model and Deadeye Duncan's head to make Ajunta look like a creepy old Sith Lord. And in 2018, we saw the Spectral Ajunta Pall Canonical Appearance mod by VarsityPuppet that added a unique model that's heavily inspired by the TOR MMO that makes Ajunta look like he was a strong Sith Warrior during his lifetime. These two mods are great, but my problem with the Ajunta Pall mods was caused by the Kotor Mod Builds managed by Snigaroo. In his builds, he lists SilverEdge9's Ajunta Pall Unique Appearance as being faithful to Ajunta Pall's canonical appearance. What is Ajunta Pall's canonical appearance? The statue inside his tomb, of course. But when you look at the statue and compare it to SilverEdge9's Ajunta Pall, you will quickly realize that SilverEdge9's depiction of Ajunta is in no way inspired by the statue. The Ajunta Pall statue uses the old Asian man head and the Nemo Jedi robes whilst SilverEdge9's Ajunta Pall uses Deadeye Duncans head and the cut Jedi Council robes. My mod, the True Ajunta mod, adds what I think is Ajunta Pall's *actual* canonical appearance to the game. This mod gives Ajunta a reskinned old Asian man head and a reskinned Nemo robe so that Ajunta *actually* resembles the statue inside the tomb. As for the mention of Snigaroo's Mod Build here, should Snigaroo not approve of how my mod handles Ajunta he won't be adding it to the Build despite my opinion that my mod is a more accurate canonical representation of Ajunta than SilverEdge9's mod - ultimately it is his decision whether to include, or not include, mods in the Builds and should he not include this mod I do not want you, the player, to harass him for that decision. Known Bugs: This mod shouldn't have any bugs but if you find any please report it to me on Deadlystream. Incompatibilities: Obviously incompatible with any mod that modifies Ajunta Pall's appearance. Please report any further incompatibilities! Permissions: Do NOT claim credit for this mod and do not use assets from this mod without my permission. The texture of Ajunta Pall's robes, on the other hand, is free to use as it came from the K1EP Modder's Resource Thanks to: SilverEdge9: For making the Ajunta Pall Unique Appearance mod from which I borrowed the source code which removes Ajunta Pall's shield!

1 pointCapitaineSpoque, how about integrating LevelCapMod (50) into your mod? I mean this: https://deadlystream.com/topic/11814-kotor-1-level-cap-mod-to-level-50 It seems to me that given the expected character balance changes/new abilities in your mod, synchronizing these improvements with possible larger-scale upgrades (up to level 50) could give KotOR a fundamentally new gaming experience.

1 pointHello there everyone! As always, i'm in the middle of thousand different projects for the mod, but I felt like providing an update for the current WIP lower city and hidden bek base The new hidden bek appearances The lower city The hidden bek base The project goes further and further! Not as fast as i'd hope, but still we are very slowly getting there! 😅 For the people interested, i've created a discord channel dedicated to the project. It is not very active at the moment, but i post some screenshots or videos here and there so if you want to be up to date with some work in progress you can see it in there. You can also directly provide some feedback. It'll be way more active once i'll release the alpha build obviously! My discord for the project See ya next time! 👀

1 pointI really like the new reskin, specially the stone and lightning textures. I would add a little more color in the hallways, but that is just my personal opinion. I also like that you made Assasins have lightsabers, perhaps you could diversify them further if some of them had dual sabers (even one normal length and one short). And I still think some rooms could have more placeables (like the antechambers to the training room in front of the archives), or some placeables shuffled from the Dantooine enclave layout (for example, I think the dorm room with the lockboxes is the exact same one as the one in the Jedi Enclave, that could be changed to be more distinct), although I don't know if that is in the scope of the mod.

1 pointAt its current stage, this mod has some serious bugs tied to it. One: the quest 'Deadly Upgrade' re-inserts itself into the quest log whenever you set foot in the R&D section of the Industrial Zone regardless of whether or not you finished it via any means. Two: there is a missing quest item needed to fix the droid by the Industrial Zone entrance in the quest 'Fixing Droids'. Three: There was supposed to be a dialogie option with Kaah upon completion of the Environmental Zone where he gives you data regarding a quest granted by the rogue industrial droid from the maintenance shack that I forgot the name of. This is missing, rendering the quest unfinishable. Fourth: two of the assassins that show up in the new ending do not aggro after they dispatch Vash. What is most disturbing out of all of this is that all the chatter I've seen regarding these bugs is that the authors have no inclination to go back and fix them. I get it, they're probably burned out, but to leave such bugs as these in the mod is just irresponsible. I've tried using Pa3pyx's (or whatever he's called) 1.3 version, but there is no installer and that user has provided no instructions on how to successfully integrate his version in. Unless there is a concerted effort to fix these issues, I'd say give this a miss.

1 pointWell, this was... something. It seemed like it would be a good something, but now I just don't know.. I'm going to start off by saying that, contrary to zbyl2's assumptions, I find walking immensely preferable to being abruptly teleported around without warning. That was so jarring and disruptive that I was tempted to report it as a bug. It actually took me til the second instance to realize it wasn't one. Was that change playtested by anyone at all before release? That did NOT make for a good gaming experience... Also, given the existence of the Escort Droids for controlled fast-travel, it's completely and totally unnecessary. It was fundamentally a bad idea, in my opinion - throw it out the window and never look back. Second, I played the "You have to use a droid" portion as T3-M4 and I have to say that under these circumstances the dialogue choices being unintelligible to the player ends up feeling rather awkward. It's one thing in Vogga's warehouse, where the choices don't actually matter much at all; in that context it's funny. But here, where they actually have significance, it made me feel like I was flailing around completely blindly. I think that either you need to ditch the concept for that portion of this world, or publish a translation sheet. Third, I think the number of currently-active droids needs to get added to your journal. Because you can only ask the droid once, and it's all too easy for it to get scrolled out of the Messages log (and I'm guessing the Messages log being so short in TSL is backend idiocy that modding can't fix). I mean yeah, you can write it down, but it feels like the in-game handling should be better. And then there's the bugs.. I was super-excited to play M4-78 and finally be able to experience a more complete TSL story that actually gave Lonna Vash her due. And, after getting past the janky introductory segment, I was having a good time with the place. Then I set foot in the R&D zone and had "Deadly Upgrade" suddenly inject itself back into my Active Quests list (and the entry didn't even match how I'd actually done it). I came here to report that... and discovered just how broken version 1.5 is and continues to be. That was disheartening to learn. I implore you to either return to the project, or at least make an installer for the more-stable previous version (1.3) so that that can be hosted here.

1 pointIt was because the changes.INI of this mod incorrectly use / instead of \ for GFF patching - basically with all modules [which I assume they could've been broken in some ways]. If you're able and/or have enough patience you can try change them to the latter [\]. Edit: or use Notepad++'s Find-Replace All feature. Find an instance of Modules/ and then batch-replace with Modules\ - that should do it. For example: Before !Destination=Modules/ship.mod After !Destination=Modules\ship.mod Granted, when I was started playing and/or trying to mod this game I know there's a "workaround" [which I'm not sure if it's actually working or not, as I've never been able to reach that part of the game this mod does] to bypass the installation - that you can execute the installer from the game's main directory. But please, don't do that as you know how to do it properly now, hahah.

I will continue to provide examples that I think might be useful to people, these are all for TSL so far. I hope these tutorials and any others I write will help people continue to make mods for KotOR 1 & 2. These tutorials are getting shorter and less detailed, I may or may not go back and re-write them at some point but if anyone struggles with anything feel free to message me and let me know what I haven't covered very well. Feel free to join the Discord for my project if you need help with anything related to KotOR modding and I will do my best to assist. Discord : https://discord.gg/S3YyfTjMV8 Base Game Scripts & How To Use Them KotOR Modding - Crash Course This 2 hour stream covers the basics of KotOR modding and some of the programs involved, I also regularly stream development of my mod project on Twitch/YouTube. Not all of this covers KotOR modding, there is about 10-20 minutes during the first hour where I get distracted and the second hour of it is mostly me playing games. These are the testing rooms but for K1 the room is lacking a texture but I find this just makes it easier to look through the characters. If anything in any of my short tutorials isn't clear or you don't understand for some reason then let me know and I will do what I can to help. ADVANCED TUTORIALS Utilising the following batch scripts and suggestions might take a while to get to grips with for some users but I would always advise doing so, it's very handy to have the ability to quickly generate a file list or compare things in various ways utilising the power of batch scripting. Comparing Level Contents Let's say you have two levels and you need to compare the differences of the contents. Extract everything from the original level to a folder called "level-a" and the modified folder to "level-b" Run the following batch script inside the "level-a" folder. file-list.bat Then delete or move the .bat file and move "file-list.txt" that it just created outside of the folder. You can also use this script to check that all the files exist. check-if-file-exists-from-file-list.bat You will have to move the file-list.txt and this script inside the folder to run the script. Now run this script at the same location as "file-list.txt" to run a file check against the contents of both folders. compare-files-from-file-list.bat Hopefully this might help someone, where I recently had to transfer all of my changes from manual installs to a TSLPatcher changes.ini file, I found this process helped speed the process up a little bit. From here, you should know which files differ and you can then use ChangeEdit.exe that comes with TSLPatcher in order to generate the differences between GFF files. Compiling Scripts If you have made it this far into the tutorial, you should already be familiar with compiling scripts, however for large projects you might need to recompile a lot of scripts at once, so here is a batch script that I used to do it. compile.bat Simply edit the script so that it points to the location of nwnnsscomp.exe for you and then you will be able to put the script into any folder that you need to compile a lot of scripts in and use it to do it all at once. If the scripts don't work for you, you might need to edit them and read them a bit in order to understand them and then to make sure that you have all of the right files in the right places. Thor110
