    Good news! The mod is done! I just finished a play test of the whole game with the new companion. Everything seems to work well! I’m sure there will be bugs discovered, and other mod compatibility is currently nonexistent, so more work will be needed in the future… but I’m really excited that tomorrow I’ll be able to get online this mod!

    Hi there! I've seen this topic quite recently, and i got in touch with Brents as i was working myself on the Jedi Enclave module for K1. I'll be sharing my ressources for my own mod to Brents Im not saying everything displayed here will make its way through, and i'm not making any promises instead of the author himself. Just saying i'm willing to give a hand, we did not settle on anything concrete yet and i wanted to showcase a bit of my own work without opening another thread. As there is a placeable limit in K1, everything you see in the video i'm linking is added into the module models themselves. I reused assets from K2 (Khoonda assets, Peragus kolto tank, Placeables...). The extracted placeables are not lightmapped yet, and i was wondering if it would cause troubles in the long run? There is also the sunlight from K1 Dantooine appearing in the main hall/garden.

    Here me out here, would it be possible to release the mod as updates or separate mods? You might be familiar with my own NPC Overhaul Series, the NPC Diversity Pack was lackluster when it came out and it's been updated over the years to include new content. Mods like Hearts of Beskar are part of the series but are separate incase people do not want, or cannot use, said mods but still want an NPC Overhaul via the Diversity Pack. The K1 Alien Pack isn't done, far from it, and all the aliens are added via separate installs meaning you can add Devaronians to your game without the Bith and you can add Quarren later when they're added for example. Would you be willing to tell us why this is important? Because I've ported Sith Commandos to Kotor I before, and the inclusion of Sith Commandos in Kotor I doesn't really negate Kotor II. I know you've ported a lot of Kotor II assets into Kotor I, and things like adding Devaronians or Mining Droids into Kotor I wouldn't hurt Kotor II. In the words of the famous Calo Nord: "Smart." Now this is what I mean when I suggest releasing these as separate mods. Having one big Frankenstein of a mod pack is bound to cause issues down the line with other Force Power and Feat mods, and not to mention that if players don't like the feats or powers you add they might just not play the mod, thus missing out on all your added content in-game because they didn't want the powers. Now if the mod was divided into multiple mods, you'd obviously play with all your separate mods together as that is the original intent but others might choose to not use your Feat and Force Power mod, or they might only play with your Feat and Force Power mod. Ultimately, separating your mods will be better because let's say if there is a bug with one of your Force Powers you'd only have to worry about your one Feat and Force Power mod instead of worrying about updating your big mega mod. What I'm saying here isn't your fault by any means, but I know there is at least one player who is boycotting the K1CP mod because of the Sentinel and Consular Class Skill Swap fix included in that mod. Petty, very much so... but if you have your class revisions as a standalone mod you won't have to deal with people downvoting your mod and writing entire essays as to why your changes to the classes are wrong (as is what happened with the K1CP). Can you explain how this works in-game? I thought classes were hard-coded. Care to show us some of these appearances? You mentioned "voice lines". Will these be voiced by an actor or by an AI? I obviously don't care about AI as I used AI to add voices for the generic background characters in the Revenge of Revan mod, but other players definitely do care about AI. Much like the guy who boycotts the K1CP because of the Sentinel and Consular Class Skill Swap fix, players might just avoid your mod if it uses AI. Again, if you were to divide your mod into multiple smaller mods that means the Anti-AI crowd would only avoid the one mod that uses AI whilst they might still use your previously mentioned Feat and Force Power mod and Class revisions mod for example. Will you be uploaded these fixes as standalone fix mods or donate them to the K1CP? I know many players play Kotor I and II with just the restored content mods and bug fix mods so these would definitely be valued as standalone mods without Feats, Force Powers, 100 new appearances, and possible AI voice lines. So what you're saying is that you took Kotor II placeables and "combined" them with the Kotor I modules, this is how you added the Oil Bath in the screenshot you provided without adding a new placeable, right? I would love to see this in-action! I would like to see what you have made here. I would like to hear some of your plans for these modules, and if you aren't wiling to reveal your plans in private then feel free to message me privately. I would like to see what you're doing for the restored Black Vulkar Base, my RC-K1CP mod will restore it at some point but as an optional install so our two mods may just be compatible with one another. I know there was another team working on the Enclave Sublevel, is this a separate project or are you collaborating with, or taking over, the work they did previously? I believe I donated a texture to that project too. I am curious as to how you plan to expand the Dantooine Crystal Cave, it logically makes sense that the cave is small in Kotor I but by the time of Kotor II the Militia bombed the original entrance and so the Kinrath dug out a larger cave system into the Khoonda plains. Are you just going to add new Kinrath enemies/lightsaber crystals, or is this where your disregard for Kotor II comes into play? I believe you've shown some of these off already on YouTube, and just like I've been saying I think separation of the mod into smaller mods, or at least different optional installs like what I did for my K1 Alien Pack might be for the best here. I do recall you added a Kotor II inspired cutscene in the Cantina where a bartender droid shows off the Upper City Cantina, this I felt was a work of art and I would 100% use it... should it be standalone from the other two examples I'm about to list. You added a female Sith Guard to the Sith Base on Taris, and even if she's voiced by an AI or an actor I felt the inclusion of her would be subjective. Some players might like the encounter, others might not. I 100% would use the Protocol Droid scene in the Cantina but might not be so keen on this cutscene. One cutscene I am not keen on is your enhanced Undercity Patrol. I believe you added a parody of the "Death Troopers" from the movie Rogue One with audio ported from Star Wars Battlefront II, unless I am mistaken. You've said that you joined the Kotor Modding Community last year, that's fine - but when I joined the Community almost 10 years ago I joined during the time when porting between Kotor I and II was a bannable offense. I think either TSLRCM or M4-78EP was removed from this site at one point because the end credits included the theme "The Old Republic" from Kotor I in its ending credits. Fun fact: I believe before the ban was lifted in 2018 the Administrators uploaded a blatantly obvious port of audio from Kotor I to Kotor II to see if people would even notice, well I noticed and I pointed it out. I guess you could say my logic in pointing it out back then was "If I can't port, you can't port". Thankfully, porting has been allowed for some time now and it's made the Kotor Modding Community so much more interesting with the mods we're now making. But as someone who made mods during a time when you couldn't port between Kotor I and II, can you understand why I'd be uncomfortable to play a mod that ports audio from Star Wars Battlefront II into Kotor I? Again, I'd happily use your Protocol Droid in the Upper City and probably many of your appearances too, but the Death Trooper is one that I would skip out on... though on the flip side someone might happily use the Death Trooper and skip the Protocol Droid in the Upper City. Regardless of what you might think of my opinion on the Sith Guard and Death Trooper, should you ever release the Protocol Droid in the Upper City, regardless if its standalone or part of a massive mega mod, would you be willing to make a compatibility patch with my RC-K1CP mod which restores the original Protocol Droid bartender to the Upper City Cantina? This is going to sound really dumb after everything I've said but do you think you can add the Taris Middle City into Kotor I? If you're using AI then dialogue and voices for already existing characters and new characters won't be a problem and, through model editing work, you seem to have the competency to make new and unique modules for a hypothetical Middle City section for Taris. But I understand if you don't want to. That'll be good! Also very good, don't make promises - the mod comes when it appears on the site out of the blue. I mean... maybe if you do go with the 'Frankstein Mega Mod' route I might be able to separate things that I like for you. Despite my criticisms with a few things, the standalone assets you've made thus far are fantastic!

    Hi, I played through your mod a few days ago and enjoyed it really much, so at first I wanted to say thank you for creating it. I found two issues while playing through it: 1) If the player kills the thug (202tel.mod\g_201thug001.utc) which spawns after giving Grenn the information about Batu Rem before the main quest with the Ithorian droid is done, the game softlocks when doing the Ithorian droid quest (only tested the Czerka version, but I think both should have this problem) when starting the cutscene where the thugs show up at the Ithorian hangar. I looked into it and I think the problem is 202tel.mod\g_201thug001.utc has the k_ptel_ma_d.ncs assigned as OnDeath script (the mod itself doesn't touch this utc as far as I can see, but the script is assigned by default). This script increments the global "201TEL_Thugs", which I think shouldn't happen when killing the 202tel.mod\g_201thug001.utc (resetting "201TEL_Thugs" to 0 before doing the droid quest fixed the problem for me.), probably the OnDeath script should be changed for something like k_def_death01.ncs instead? 2) After Zez-Kai Ell rescues the player at the end of the mod the player is teleported to the nar shaddaa docks (In 323NAR.mod\a_geno.ncs "StartNewModule("303nar", "", "", "", "", "", "", "");" is used to do this). I think the waypoint is missing here, because the player starts out at the entrance of the map instead of the hideout, I changed it to StartNewModule("303nar", "FROM_305NAR", "", "", "", "", "", ""); and the scene worked out fine afterwards.

    Hello there! This is my first-ever post here on DeadlyStream, and I’m coming with some hopefully exciting news. This month I will be launching a new mod for KOTOR 1: Sleheyron: Story Mode. Built upon the legendary SithSpecter’s 2014 Sleheyron Demo, this new mod will be adding several hours of new gameplay to KOTOR 1. I was inspired by SithSpecter’s work, and I’m hoping in the future my mod will be compatible with his. It would be a worthy venture for me to undertake to make our Sleheyron stories co-exist. After all, I owe him a HUGE debt of thanks for permitting other modders to build off his Sleheyron demo! The mod is actually out of development now and is in beta testing. Feedback has been pretty good so far. Bugs to fix, but none gamebreaking. If anyone else is interested in beta testing, please do let me know. This new mod is my first ever project, and I’m quite excited to share it with you. Sleheyron will feature: 1: A several hours long story, voice-acted (no AI voices either). 2: A fully-voice acted new party member, complete with a post-Sleheyron story (including a Leviathan rescue). 3: Approximately 30 new modules of various shapes and sizes (including the four published by SithSpecter, which are amazing and I owe him a huge thanks!) 4: New weapons and armor. 5: Lots of connections to Tales of the Jedi, as I am a big fan of those comics. If this sounds interesting to you, I would be pleased to share an early version of my first dialog from the mod, via the Reddit link below. I hope it’s an exciting enough plot hook! https://www.reddit.com/r/kotor/s/EeoYqeLFJ9 And just one small disclaimer: At this time, the mod is not confirmed compatible with other mods. I plan to update its compatibility this summer, however. I look forward to releasing this mod this month! edit: and the mod is downloadable! Thank you for your patience, everyone!

    This is just a courtesy alert to everyone interested in fulfilling these requests that I am now intending to move up my testing schedule slightly. I now am hoping to complete a KOTOR test in August, and a KOTOR 2 test in September. That would see me pulling mods from this list for live testing likely within the first two weeks of August, so anyone who wants to have their content tested for the next build revision can treat mid-August as the rough "deadline" for testing inclusion for K1. Thanks all! EDIT: I've also included a new request to fix some Rodians with invisible Pazaak decks and an Aqualish drinking nothing, courtesy to @Salk for catching the problem!

    View File Sleheyron- Story Mode 1.0 Introducing: Sleheyron Story Mod. A brand new planet expansion to add to your next KOTOR play-through: Sleheyron! Built upon the Sleheyron demo mod by the legendary SithSpecter (with his permission), this new mod adds a huge new story that brings this lost-absent planet back to KOTOR. This mod contains the following new content: I was inspired by SithSpecter’s work, and I’m hoping in the future my mod will be compatible with his. It would be a worthy venture for me to undertake to make our Sleheyron stories co-exist. After all, I owe him a HUGE debt of thanks for permitting other modders to build off his Sleheyron demo! This new mod is my first ever project, and I’m quite excited to share it with you. Sleheyron will feature: 1: A roughly 5 hours long story, voice-acted (no AI voices either). 2: A fully-voice acted new party member, complete with a post-Sleheyron story and romance (A future update will include a Leviathan rescue). 3: 25 new modules of various shapes and sizes (including the four published by SithSpecter, which are amazing and I owe him a huge thanks!) 4: New weapons and armor. 5: Lots of connections to Tales of the Jedi, as I am a big fan of those comics. Regarding compatibility: This first version of the mod was NOT designed with compatibility in mind. There will be a later release this summer of "Sleheyron+" that will use HoloPatcher to create a mod-compatible version of Sleheyron. Because compatibility was not a goal for the 1.0 version of the mod, this mod does not yet use a Patcher program. There is a detailed and simple ReadMe with installation instructions within the zipped folder, however. If you are interested in using other mods, I'm afraid the best thing I can say is "do so at your own risk!" If you are interested in using other mods, my tester has found that you can install the entire of the most recent Neocities Mod Build with Sleheyron; just be sure to download Neocities first, then Sleheyron (he also said this caused an animation glitch with Selkath, but that can be resolved by then installing the Custom Selkath Animations and NPC Overhaul Mods to fix it. But, again, these were not intended when developing the mod- it's just an interesting solution to an unforeseen problem. The story for Sleheyron: Story Mode starts shortly after the player gets their main mission from the Jedi Council on Dantooine. There is a save file in this mod that will allow players to skip right to that moment with a pre-built character. Then you just need to fly to Sleheyron... But I also encourage players to make their own characters, too! Sleheyron can be visited at any time between Dantooine and the Unknown World. I, of course, recommend going early to enjoy the new companion as long as you would like. Some acknowledgements! Modders: First and foremost, the absolute biggest thanks to SithSpecter: Not just for creating the Sleheyron Demo that this mod is built off of, but for granting permission to use that Demo. When the day comes your Sleheyron Restoration Mod is complete, I know that it will be the very best Sleheyron mod out there! Thor110, for helping me out with the basics of module design, as well as introduced me to some cut modules to use. DarthParametric, for teaching me to retexture NPCs as well as two "larger creature" mods that became resources for Sleheyron (is there a single KOTOR mod out there that he hasn't been credited on?). SithHolocron, who early on helped teach me how to retexture modules. ZobiZob, for amazing YouTube tutorials for how to use Holocron Toolset and solving my problem with playing movies. GlaspyLawson, who learned modding at the same time as me, and shared his knowledge; and for contributing a side quest to Sleheyron! JC for just answering so many of my questions through the entire modding process. Really, the whole Mod Development KOTOR Discord Group! Thank you for either offering advice or tolerating my simplistic questions! Testers: Mikael, the absolute most enthusiastic alpha tester anyone could ask for. The_Chaser_One, a painstakingly thorough beta tester that made sure this mod was ready for launch (and also providing the cover art). StellarExile, who helped me out with learning how to use the patcher. MistahJayGarrick for his high praise of the story content (and occasional blunt, but necessary, advice). Tool Developers: Cortisol and W1z4rd designed and kept updated the incredible Holocron Toolset, that was instrumental in this mod's design. I owe them a massive thanks for their work, and the hours they spent helping me out with bug-fixing! Voice cast: LadyandSaoRS, the talented actress that gave us the incredible voice of Vima; giving this long-standing fan-favorite character a perfectly excellent rendition. Mikael, for various voiceovers around Sleheyron that made the planet feel alive (including the dulcet tones of an exhausted Hutt). C4 for the excellent performance as Commander Forcay, praised by a tester as "Sounds exactly like a NPC from KOTOR!" PuckShadows for his Sith Lt. Savage. Juice Phanta for a pitch-perfect protocol droid. Black Rose for literally hundreds of Iridorian mercenary lines, giving me an impressively huge range of pitches to work with. Schofield-HD for an officer of vice and virtue (and more roles to come in Sleheyron 1.1!) Gwoopp and MerakiSky for two fun little roles in the Sleheyron cantina. Companies: Of course, BioWare and Lucasfilm, for making this game that we all enjoy so much. NexusMods and Deadly Stream for being the places to discuss and host mods. Discord for enabling communication that made this mod a collaborative effort. Final Dedications: My wife, who tolerated me spending nearly six months isolated to make this. To a relative who isn't around anymore to enjoy Sleheyron. I think this mod would make you proud! (even if you did spoil this game for me) My apologies if I missed anyone else; but I appreciate all of your hard work! I hope you all enjoy Sleheyron: Story Mode!

    For reasons I can't explain, ever since I played TSL for the first time far longer ago than I care to admit, I've always wanted to have the interior doors in the Ebon Hawk in the first game. I noticed nobody else had added this feature in as of yet, so I decided to take a crack at doing it myself: All of the doors are added in and working, but obviously once they've opened, they stay that way. This feels like it makes the mod a bit pointless, so I'm currently working on a way to have each door automatically close once you move a certain distance away from it. I originally planned to use an OnHeartbeat script attached to each door to close it once you move a certain distance away, but it didn’t come out as well as I’d hoped: It’s a bit janky and doesn’t always seem to work as intended, so I’m not sold on this method. I did try using a trigger instead, having the doors open/close using the OnEnter and OnExit scripts instead and it’s a LOT smoother, so I think I’m gonna switch to that. Setting all those triggers isn’t going to be the quickest process in the world though so… that’ll be fun! As you can see, since the doors were originally intended to only be seen from one side in TSL, so once you pass through, you can see some of the door geometry poking out the wall on the other side. I'm not too bothered with that though, since it's unlikely anyone is going to be stopping and turning around to look up every time they walk through a door. I did show it at the end off the video though, just as a point of interest. I’ll hopefully get all of the triggers set tomorrow, give it a thorough test and then maybe put up a new test video before I create an installer and package it up for release.

    I was able to use geometry nodes to do some placement, but after quite a bit of effort, it still looks pretty bad. I think it especially looks out of place since it's not lightmapped. I think I'll abandon this endeavor and just settle for a retexturing I was doing separately. Thank you for the offer! I actually already had some mossy retextures that I was doing for the bark and soil, though. My hope was to add some geometry for moss on top of the retexture. But I think I'm okay with giving up on that at this point :)

    There's your problem. Refer to the quoted section from the mod page. Try using the cheat "warp lev_m40aa", if that doesn't work then that means not even cheating can fix your problem.

    Edit his DLG (man26_echmerc1.dlg) and set k_pman_reprec01 as the script in the exit node (R1). Although that script was intended for a DLG with a different owner. Not sure what happens when you try to grab the nearest object to an NPC with the NPC's own tag. If it doesn't work you'll need to make a custom script, like so: void main() { SignalEvent(OBJECT_SELF, EventUserDefined(10)); } Although possibly it might also need a small delay. Alternatively, the script could go in the EndConversation slot of the root node instead of in the exit node. Check out some other ambient NPCs for how this sort of thing works, like in Taris Upper City.

    I'm wanting to add moss to the trees in the Shadowlands, and I'm wondering if you guys have any ideas on implementing it. My current idea is to just add planes with a moss textures as pictured. This seems like it would take a ton of manual labor and time to place each one though, since I'm want to essentially cover the existing trees with moss. If anyone has thoughts or suggestions I would really appreciate input!

    Look inside the TSLPatchdata folder of this mod and look for the files with the ".uti" expension. Uti files are the item files, so the word before ".uti" on those files are the cheat codes. For example, the cheat code for the file "g_a_class4099.uti" is "giveitem g_a_class4099".

    I have a fun one! And a tragic one lol. When you're playing as T3-M4 on Peragus, in order to open the door to hanger access you have to blast a door open with a mine and there you find a destroyed 3C-FD right in front of the door, the astromech droid that T3 repairs in the prologue and in turn helps T3 repair the Ebon Hawk and dock with Peragus. The outro cutscene in the prologue implies that the HK unit destroys them both but we know T3 survives just fine, so what about 3C? What if - both of them escaped fine, and docked with Peragus, and when T3 plants that mine to open that door, he unknowingly blows up 3C who has been trapped on the other side, and then loots his corpse not knowing he is responsible for turning what was his only friend up to this point into scrap? *Dark Side Points Gained*

    Photosource it from nature and layer it on with GIMP. LDA_Bark01.tga in Kashyyyk textures. etc I might be able to get some good moss photos, it's how I do everything, if that is of interest to you. You can reskin the bark textures to have a repeating moss pattern. I might be able to take some of this work on for you, if you're interested. I think this would help you implement further geometry, blending the textures there.

    No idea why that happens, never seen it before, you can always use launcher.bat instead for the time being but it doesn't provide all of the same options, just the ability to swap between the two.

    There's only one way you can go back and redo your build, you use the Kotor Savegame Editor. Now it is possible to use KSE to cheat whether it be giving yourself all the items, all the feats, max skill, max stats etc. Don't do that for this case, let's say if you had 8 feats if you wanted to remove the Dueling and replace it with the Two-Weapon Fighting feat it's technically not cheating as all you've done is swap the two feats around.

    View File SWTOR Saber Hilt Resource This is a dump of most of the double and single saber hilts from The Old Republic (as-of May 2025) as FBX files. There are 207 single hilts and 158 double hilts, although note that somewhere between half to two thirds of these are just texture variants, while a not insignificant number of the rest are just minor mesh variations (e.g. different emitter shroud). Notes: The meshes have been scaled to a rough ballpark approximation of KOTOR's hilt size, but will need manual adjustment as well as scene setup (addition of blade planes, etc.). Some will probably also require custom low poly shadowcasters as well, assuming you want to enable shadows. TOR uses texture-based emissive, which will necessitate either mesh splitting or custom mesh creation to replicate/approximate in Odyssey. I have left out some of the more fancy things that TOR gets up to with VFX involving separate meshes with emissive and multiple UV channels. Textures vary in their quality. Many of the launch-era textures are low resolution (256x256) compared to more recent additions (1024x1024), as well as very simplistic and cartoony. The models are similar, with launch hilts often being oversized with minimal geometry detail. Although note that even some more recent additions occasionally have low res textures, even when the models are more detailed. Each hilt archive includes a text file that specifies its material and texture names. Textures are included in their original DDS format. For PS users, install the Intel DDS plugin. For everyone else, you can use TexConv from MS's DirectXTex utilities to convert them to TGA. I have provided pre-swizzled and normalised normal maps in TGA, already in OpenGL format with a blank alpha, ready for conversion to TPC (thanks to ndix UR's normun tool). Check this SWTOR Slicers wiki page for information about TOR's texture setup. Note that the diffuse textures are made for TOR's renderer, so will likely require some adjustment to work correctly in Odysssey. You'll also need to make your own envmap masks. Given the sheer volume of files and the process of manually converting them, it's quite possible I have missed some textures or the like. Let me know if that's the case. If you're looking for a particular hilt and you only know its in-game name (from, for example, Swtorista) check TORCommunity's database (warning, site is often slow as hell) and find its model name in the Detailed Data tab of the item (search for gr2, for example - "Model": "\\art\\dynamic\\weapon\\model\\saber_high12_a01_v01.gr2"). Refer to the SWTOR Slicers wiki page for more detailed information. Posted in the K1 section, but naturally they'll work for either game depending on what format you export the models in. Terms of Use: I make no claims of ownership. This is all taken from TOR's asset files, I just extracted them. Credit belongs to Disney/EA/Bioware/Broadsword. Use as you see fit, although if you use them in a mod release an acknowledgement would be nice. Submitter DarthParametric Submitted 06/02/2025 Category Modder's Resources

    Most mods are free, so that part is moot. The culture iwth modding has always been very aware of the amount of time that goes into a hobby, I assure you. SAO has also not heeded much in the way of advice given by SH or others with such an ambitious starting project, even with such basic things as sharing screenshots here of their project. Whether I trust you or not is also moot, since you're not trying to release or upload the mod. While you do seem to edit your posts a lot instead of taking the time to craft a reply, my comment was not out of trust. You entered in with a lot of support from out of nowhere, hence SH's white-knighting comment, with this being the first mention that you're helping and beta-testing. That helps explain the hearty defense, but not all critique and criticism is wrong. And SAO can share what details they're okay with sharing here.

    Testing, testing, is this thing on? Dropping a friendly reminder to be civil with each other. Criticism and critiques of a project are fine when constructive, though simple observations of the facts are neither. The same cannot be said of the later interactions here. SH and DP both pointed out and expressed similar sentiments, just a bit differently. It's not right to get on someone's case just because you don't like how they expressed themselves. For one, this manner of dialog is blunt, but typically so. If SAO wants to respond to fair criticisms about their timeline, they can do so when they're online. @The_Chaser_One As far as I'm aware, it's still not the norm for someone not working on or associated with a project to be giving updates and sharing projected schedules, as that can be misinformation or wildly inaccurate. Getting upset when called out on it is rather poor form. Especially when you simultaneously want someone to not post the way they normally post but also won't block them because you like reading their responses. It's always possible to ignore posts you don't like. P.S: On a personal note: Kinda cheeky throwing SH's words back at him here. The statement is still true, as SAO did give a deadline already, when SH's advice would have been to not announce a release timeline. It would have been better to not give a deadline than to miss the deadline. While it could be true that missing the deadline is better for quality, I'd also ask this: is it a good thing that a deadline was missed in a project? Doesn't that mean the deadline was not estimated correctly in the first place?

    Bro wtf. Did you pay him to do his enormous mod ? No ? He's doing it for free, for us. So yeah, you'll have to wait a little bit more, as we all do. Furthermore, according to you, "Mod release deadlines are for those that don't care about quality". Well guess what ? He missed his deadline. You should be relieved by that...

    Oh yeah i understand thank you Sorry for the stupid question, i should've read that all the way through 😅 Okay so... Turns out i have the same problem, even with the english version 😥 I have nine errorswho looks like : "'EntryList\256\RepliesList\2\Active' does not exist!" https://jumpshare.com/s/bmldUaE8joDa9ldywQmv Maybe does the mod still works even with these errors ? Also im not on the latest aspyr version, but on the previous one called "legacypc" , on steam

    Good catch, Salk. I shall look into this when I get around to it. Ahlan Matale's face should be the same though his outfit changes between modules. In the main NPC Diversity Pack, Ahlan in danm13 and danm14ad are wearing two different clothing outfits whilst danm14ad Ahlan is wearing Durasteel Battle Armor. The idea is that he's gone home and changed outfits between danm13 and danm14ab whilst in danm14ad he's obviously prepared to siege the Sandrale Estate himself hence why he's wearing armor. If you install the Onderon Fashion install or the Galaxy of Faces mod, Ahlan will wear fancy Onderon style clothes in danm14ad as you've noticed. Now for everyone else. I haven't been focusing on the NPC Overhaul Series for the past few months what with the much anticipated release of the Revenge of Revan mod's first episode at the start of the year. I would like to announce that I've released the start of the K1 Alien Pack which you'll be able to access once the mod's been approved. Since it's been so long since I first previewed the K1 Alien Pack here in this thread, I've added two more aliens to the release including the Ithorians and Bith... the Duros and Devaronians. As for the NPC Diversity Pack itself, I'd like to fix a problem I've been encountering for a while now. There are plenty of male NPCs, but there are so few female NPCs that I run out of females NPCs for my addons like the Onderon Clothing and the Fat Commoner addons. To fix this issue, I'm considering adding an installation, or just outright adding it to the main install, which adds brand new NPCs into the game. These NPCs will still use the generic VO from the base game and will resemble the normal NPCs, an example of what this might look like is an NPC repairing a swoop bike on Dantooine or new traveller NPCs in the Republic Embassy module on Manaan where there are no traveller NPCs in the base game.

    I have questions. Here are a few . . . to start. What's your modding experience? As you’ve never posted here before, no one here is likely to know of any work you may (or may not) have done before. What's the size of your beta team? Who is working with you on this? Is it mostly a solo affair? Do you have any screenshots other than the galaxy map which could have come straight from Sithspecter's mod? With some minimal research, I see you’ve posted two videos on YouTube. Will all of your characters be aliens? If so, is that why you say there won’t be any AI voices? In those two videos, I don’t think I saw any lip sync for the dialogues? Are you planning to fix that, preferably before the next teaser video release? (But especially before a mod release.) Why are you starting with a planet mod as your first KotOR mod? So, it sounds like there are about 26 new modules in your mod that Sithspecter hasn’t created. Are they actually new or are they reskinned previous modules? Speaking of skins, have you made any new ones? Or is it a combination of recycling of materials found in the base game combined with what Sithspecter may have provided in his previous effort? This last one may be out of left field but I just have to ask: Are there any areas in the mod which render characters as orange colored?

    Is this PFBH07 texture? I think it is unused in the first game. Maybe armor in mods use it.

    After over 15 years of development hell few would honestly keep believing tbh. Most such projects that go for so long end up stuck for good. Though I doubt Logan would deliver without your help (and any other people that assisted him with this mod). That said congrats for your efforts and sheer determination to deliver despite all odds. Respect. I'm glad that I was wrong about the "dead" part. How many episodes are planned?

    View File Better Stealth Toggle An autohotkey script that makes stealth much less of a chore to use. I always hated having to manually dismiss the popup when entering stealth mode and AGAIN when disabling solo mode. This fixes that. How it works: You define a single key that when pressed will either: 1. put the currently controlled character into stealth mode; or 2. disables solo mode (which also takes you out of stealth mode). In both cases the popup is dismissed when you release the key. So... You just need to set up the script to use your preferred key and also tell it what keys are bound ingame to your solo mode and stealth mode... and have the script running while running the game, of course. You can edit the script using notepad or whatever. I made notes next to the parts that need to be changed NOTES: 1) I made three notes within the script where you'll need to make changes to make this work for you (keybinds). 2) The script may need some customized tweaking because it taps a pixel at screen location X=53, Y=1000 in order to detect if the currently controlled character is in stealth mode or not. I'm running the game at 1920x1080, so if your resolution is different, this won't work "out of the box". 3) Let me know if it doesn't work and I'll work with you to fix it. 4) Also, I can only play the game in windowed mode and I don't think it'll work in fullscreen... so I won't be able to help if it doesn't work in fullscreen mode for you.

    I know it's been said that Nihilis and the Exile were designed to be mirror opposites of eachother, but I personally think it goes deeper to the point that Nihilis and the Exile had the exact same connectivity to their fellow soldiers and jedi. So, while the Exile dealt with the trauma of the Mass Shadow Generator by cutting themselves off, Nihilis used it to survive the detonation and possible exposure to the vacuum of space. The Exile is also the one answer to Nihilis' endless hunger as it is impossible to absorb something that is no longer there or more accurately something that has effectively become its antimatter. So if one subscribes to the Unifying Force theory, it had a hand in creating Nihilis, but also created the Exile to cancel him out. (also as an aside, it'd have been pretty awesome to see the Exile use a visual effect when they defeat Nihilis like an accretion disk from a Black Hole that envelops then annihliates him until his empty mask lands on the ground where he once stood) I can understand why Kreia was so adamant about destroying the Force, but it makes me wonder if it might have found some way to stop her anyway. (Though I guess technically it does since the player can't actually agree to go through with her plan)

    @Sith Holocron requested that I go into some general detail for the community about why the Steam Workshop is generally bad for modding, both to have all the issues laid out and easily referenced, and to clarify some common misconceptions. I can't count the number of issues I've had to troubleshoot as a result of the Workshop and I know its systems and limitations in detail, so I feel fairly qualified to explain what makes the system inadequate compared to the standard methods the community uses for mod installation. I'll first briefly explain how mods installed from the Workshop work, then detail situations where using the Workshop is sensible before explaining why using the Workshop is generally not a good idea. If you'd only like to see an explanation of why you should be downloading mods manually, skip on down to section #3. If you don't use the Steam version of the game with the most recent (Aspyr) patch, needless to say this doesn't really matter for you, as you don't have Workshop support for your title anyway. How the Workshop Works First, it's important to reiterate that the Workshop is only available on the Aspyr patch of the game (not the 'legacypc' beta install option) on Steam. This update causes not a few issues, which means that even if you own the game on Steam you might want to revert it to that legacypc version even before considering modding; an inability to apply new textures to lightsaber hilts, the loss of fog effects, and sometimes extreme game stuttering are but a few of the issues the Aspyr patch causes (though, in fairness, it of course also introduces many useful conveniences, including native widescreen support and controller support). To the topic at hand, however: on a basic level, the Workshop is just a download system for mods. It doesn't truly "install" them as such, as the TSLPatcher would do, it just takes stored data from archives and puts them in a repository which the Aspyr-patched version of the game can read. For example, if you install TSLRCM and two texture mods, the Workshop will take the file data from TSLRCM and those texture mods and separately store them in three different containing folders, which the game will then read on startup. A few of you might already see the problems with this, but we'll get into that in a moment. What the Workshop is Good For Jokes of "nothing" aside, the Workshop is actually very good for single-mod installs. If you want to use TSLRCM and only TSLRCM, go for it--the Workshop will download it and you can run it with no trouble at all. It will even keep the mod dynamically updated for you; the TSLRCM team even realized that this is a much easier and more foolproof method of installation for many users. And, so long as TSLRCM (or TSLRCM + M4-78) is the only mod you're using, it truly works fine. The issue comes in with multi-mod setups, which is how we get to.... Why You Should Avoid the Workshop Put simply, the Workshop was not well-designed when it comes to multi-mod installs, especially in the face of the array of tools the community has developed to encourage mod compatibility over the years, the TSLPatcher being foremost among them. For those that don't know, the TSLPatcher can append strings or modify individual lines within existing files (among a myriad of other things), which allows mods which would otherwise directly overwrite the same files to work together fine, so long as they're not editing the exact same data within the same files. Not only does the Workshop not have this, it also lacks a stunning array of other common-sense multi-mod features: Load orders are based on the order mods are subscribed to, and are overwritten in certain circumstances. This is a big one. Even the most archaic games have always allowed users to control file overwrites, deal with compatibility issues, and selectively prioritize one mod over another by controlling the order in which mods are installed, and oftentimes the specific files installed from mod to mod. Because the Workshop does not truly install mods as such and instead merely sits them in a folder to be read by the game, it's up to the Workshop which mods get read in which order, and which get prioritized. Mods subscribed to first are read first by the system, but because they're downloaded as complete packages ready-to-launch, it's not possible to remove files selectively unless you know exactly where to look--even then, the Workshop may try to repair your install of the mod, replacing files that you may have removed intentionally. Furthermore, no file manifest is given by the Workshop, which makes it that much more difficult to see which mods edit the same content, and incompatibility is a major systemic issue with the workshop as we'll see. Worst of all, mod updates or game reinstalls can entirely disrupt this subscription order and randomize the load order, making it difficult to achieve a stable load order even if you're doing all due diligence. One mod's changes can push out another's. Unlike the installation system typical with major mods where the TSLPatcher can minimize incompatibilities, there's no such protection here. Indeed the opposite, as having two mods with the same .2da file means that one's will inevitably win out, and the other's will lose, and the loser's data will be completely and totally ignored by the game. Not only does this guarantee that some mods are incompatible in function simply due to the Workshop's architecture, it means that you could encounter serious bugs if important files from one mod are overwritten by another. This is part of the reason why TSLRCM and M4-78 had to be combined on the Workshop eventually--despite being completely compatible with one another, the Workshop was ramming them together in incompatible ways. Mods installed manually don't play well with Workshop mods. Jumping off of the above, because mods aren't truly installed with the Workshop, a user can mod their game by installing files onto their game directory in steamapps/common as one would normally do, but also subscribe to mods on the Workshop. Yet the same issues as two mods editing the same file on the Workshop will now occur in this scenario: a loose .2da file in the override will conflict with a .2da file from a Workshop mod and one will completely cancel out the other, rather than taking each other into account whatsoever. This is a big reason why it's a good idea to do all one thing or all another, since combinations like this are invariably more work than simply modding with the right tools from the start. The Workshop has limited selection, and few exclusives. This is an indirect rather than direct issue with the Workshop, but it's worth pointing out all the same. Because of many of the above issues, the Workshop has a rather limited base of modifications, and most modifications released on the Workshop have also seen standard releases, either here on Deadlystream or on the KOTOR 2 Nexus. Because those mod versions would be more compatibility-friendly anyway, there's little reason to use the Workshop just for the sake of the mods on it; there's more variety and less headache installing mods elsewhere. Many Workshop mods are out-of-date and not supported by their authors. This is again (at least partly) an indirect issue, but I feel the need to mention it here because it does have consequences for users. It is very easy to upload mod content to the Workshop even if you aren't the original author, and difficult for original authors to get these reuploads taken down. Regardless of your stances on mod ownership or reuploading, the users who perform these uploads often drop them on the Workshop for quick downloads and kudos-padding and then abandon them, not providing any future updates or support that the original authors would at their typical download locations. This leads already-anemic Workshop content to also frequently suffer from being outdated, and lack proper support, as the uploaders are frequently not the original software authors and may not even understand how the content they've hosted works. While the above is by no means an exhaustive list, it does represent the bulk of the problems with the Workshop. I want to reiterate a final time that the Workshop is an easier install method, as it's a simple one-click solution, but, much like the dark side, it's an easy path that often brings its own problems down the line. It's never worth it to use the Workshop for a couple of mods only to find out that you have a serious incompatibility late into the game, and no clue how to resolve it. Manually downloading mods isn't much more difficult, and neither is their installation, while the compatibility benefits from doing so are significant. I hope this post has helped explain exactly why that is, and encouraged you to look into a traditional install instead. If concerns about compatibility now seem significant to you, or if you're new to modding and worried you'll simply be overwhelmed by the install process for mods, I (though biased) strongly recommend the mod builds. As fully-compatible mod lists, you won't need to worry about crashes from their use, and all the mods listed come with detailed instructions where necessary; spoiler-free builds are even available if you're a first-time player. With the builds as an option, there's really no reason not to skip the Workshop in favor of a much more content-rich and stable experience.

    @Logan23 Hey, Logan! I've been following this project since its beggining! Noticed the website gone offline (domain expired), so I thought I could lend a helping hand... So, I managed to recover your website from archive.org and also got a new domain for it You're back online, check it out! Head to www.revengeofrevan.net You should be covered for the next three years (domain and hosting services have been paid in advance) and as soon as I get some extra "credits" to spare I'll extend the domain period more! It's the least I can do to support this awesome project!

    Hi everyone I feel like i was frozen on Hoth the past several weeks. Good news- I have a place to live at now- so i won't be living under my work desk. Thanks to some fellow modders here I learned abit about editing module properties to create atmosphere. This new mood to the module was done just today and thanks to the new Toolset from Fair Strides , I have starting to populate and test changes way more quickly- an amazing modding tool! Here are some quick pics of Vogga's Ship (Goto's old module) Had to make them a little lighter since the images came out dark orginally More to Come Logan23

    Well, it's been a long time since I actually ran through TSL(RCM). Last time for 1.8, multiple times. 1.8.1 and 1.8.2 were all made basically on "read about bug, load game, try to recreate bug, if so fix bug, try fix" without a full run through. But for 1.8.3 there's been another runthrough again... it's been a time. Also quite helpful since the original installer and fixes had their share of issues. Here's the semi-all-inclusive list of changes between the 1.8.3 installer and the coming new 1.8.3 installer. Will probably not copy all to the readme "fixlist", just the major ones, so if you want a complete (well, mostly), here's the post for you: * Typo fixes (dialog.tlk) * Fixed quest update from Lorso about luring Batono in a trap being set too early. It will only appear now if the actual global is also set to allow this option. * Corrected missing "exchange" quest update in 3 different instances. * 208TEL Gammorean use proper dialogue line now. * 262 camera changes to show force field. * 101 Fixed VO cutoff and overlay on PC. * 101 Kreia joining PC cut-scene didn't suppress background music (music clash) * 902 Mira different standpoint Hanharr lift * 950 Healing Bao-Dur again (in case fake replacement was healed in 262) * Musictable was missing from original files (my bad) * 231TEL: If Atton is in your party, he will say the first cache-line, Bao-Dur the second. Otherwise Bao-Dur will say both cache lines. * 201TEL; Prevents console oddity from script closed door to bay 2 when on the smuggling quest for the Ithorian shield. * 001/002; Slightly improved my quest update/ conversation break fix. * 404; 2 droids had the wrong script set so they appeared active after conversation (module isn't in TSLRCM yet). Issues fixed (403DXN); * Mandalorian Sergeant will, after conversation, look at the battle ring rather than away from it. * Modified Zuka's animations a bit so him using the computer loop while inside a conversation is much less likely to happen. * The Gate Guard and Patrol guard will now keep patrolling after being talked to, rather than permanently stop at that point. * Accidentally used the same local for a one-shot extra conversation for Zuka that was also set and unset for his animation. Changed the local. * 502: All small cages hold a tame Boma now. * 512; Fixed error with citizen dialogue not looping properly. * 512; 1B's repair now requires 5 repair skill instead of 1. * 512 & 601 & 301; 1B, Akkere and Kodin will generate one of 4 HK parts randomly now, instead of basing it on the players' possessed items (which could generate the pacifist package if all 4 were in the PC's inventory). * c_fixedskill. Kreia skill-lesson; Automatic completion if awareness was highest skill, unable to complete skill-lesson if awareness was lowest skill. Fixed now. * 003: Modified zbylfix scripts to acknowledge double-bladed sabers for giving error message to player with requirements for training with Visas. 003; Baotrain; Now, it is more prominently onscreen rather than tucked away at the top of the screen. * 003, a_pazaak; For some weird reason when copying right, left weapon on NPC's loses the left. So changed it to left,right instead so now Atton keeps his off-hand weapon instead of losing it playing Pazaak. It’s a good thing that I caught this now! * 301; TT32, fixed line without VO. C9t9; Fixed Lupo facing away from player and Modo instead of towards. * 303; Modified Mira noticing Disciple/Kreia 1.8.3 addition slightly. If Vogga's asleep, and you trigger the Hanharr intro his "sleep" flag is reset, so he wont appear awake, and still set as sleeping according to the flags. * 303, lootra; Turning over to Exchange will wield a lightsaber now too (like all other quest-resolutions), and will no longer be seen as a "light side" action by your team members. * 306 bartender; Fixed some lines going straight to the PC's responses. * 301, 302 and 303; Airtaxi altered to no longer show destination of current location (needlessly loading if selected). * 301, REcutatarr; Quello now turns to Cahmakt instead of player (not noticeable for refugee trigger, but it was for docks or central) * 302; If you lied to Sasquesh and he sold Adanna fast, then killed him, "Sold to the Hutts" would re-open with no way of finishing it anymore. This has been fixed. 301nar - attwarn2; Alien line got cut short. 305nar - hanend; Second latest line un-skippable too now. 351nar - Fixed some more issues with 'droid control' display, and fixed issue with count's 8 and 9 on consoles being broken and disallowing interaction with the console ever again. 350nar; Corrected Zhug brothers appearance 511: Corrected Mandalore facing, added "salute to PC" at end as intended, and force persuasion no longer requires 10 persuasion skill (instead dominate mind). 506: DS Kavar fight minor fixes (immediate attack, flourish, PC saber ignition) 403; Adding party members removed from the spawned ones. Unless you saved and loaded, then it would create clones. Hence now it's no longer able to change your party walking around the camp pre-Dxun Tomb. 604; ST/VO mismatch first line without Kreia, personal crystal without Kreia now has fixed camera standpoint rather than point somewhere random (and usually useless) * 710; Should focus on NPC's now when first line is spoken. Fixed conversation break if you had no team members at all. * 605 & 610; 2 new lines for Jorran (both in 610, 1 appearing in 605) * 304; Fixed "walk-through door" issue. * 202; TSF will no longer assist you in killing the Sullustan. * 301; All teammates will spawn outside the Hawk for the 'first' conversation. * 852; Some slight fixes to flourishing during Nihilus, also added his theme to his cut-scene. * BY DANIL-CH: PC now shows form just learned from the Jedi Master. During mid-battle Masters actually use form instead of flourish. * By DANIL-CH: Updated "c_lightsaber_eq" to acknowledge an off-hand saber. * By DANIL-CH: 301NAR Kreia Premonition cutscene. * M4-78EP ONLY(!); Changed learning "Niman" to "Juyo" for Sentinels, Assassins and Watchmasters, since Vash teaches Niman. * M4 - 802; Tukata > Tuk'ata * M4 - 804 & 809; New content * M4 - A whole bunch of minor fixes (forgot to note them down apparently :/. Easily over 25. Mostly typo fixes) * M4 – Black Market droid conversation break on Jedi type check. * M4 - Fixed missing "Droid planet fuel" check on node where you didn't roll up the smuggling ring. * Kreia; "Why didn't Atris or the other masters mention you?" now requires one found master. Handmaiden training animations when she's mind-read added. Forced player and Kreia to meditate a node earlier in 2 instances so they wont go to "rise and sit" on camera. Visas' lightsaber will no longer be sometimes invisible during training. * Bao-Dur; If Bao-Dur is set for Dark Side training but the PC is lightsided, the convo will no longer break without having any more chance to train him. * T3-M4: Revan now appears in LS Canderous conversation, conversation now requires high OR low inf (instead of just high). * Atton; 1.8.3 version since it was missing from the installer. * Mandalore; Fixed Revan being referred as 'his' in one instance due to a broken re-direct * Fixed slight error in my gloves fix for 1.8.3 (which was returning only 1 set of gloves ever again :/), fixed rounding error for low levels. * Spells; Beast Confusion could not be trained by Sith Assassins, fixed now. * Updated Adum (Khoonda) loot (wasn't included in previous fixes) FORCE PERSUASION: Several .dlg files along the modules.
