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 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 pointsHey 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

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.

2 pointsAn update for my Galaxy of Faces mod. Ithorians have been added: The Dark Harbinger, Wound in the Force, and Dread Cyborg mods now serve as the basis for the Dark Side Ending's Dark Jedi Masters. The HD Soul Patch Man of @ScrierOne was used for Holdan's new head whilst Effixian's Alternative Atton Clothing was used for his new body. The head was retextured so that it looks as if Holdan does Spice whenever he's not running jobs for Davik or harassing waitresses' in the Lower City Cantina. The status of permission in regards to ScrierOne's work comes from the Nexusmods page for the head which states the following: Despite these terms clearly stating I do not have to credit him, I still want people to know that it was his awesome mod which brought you this awesome appearance. Gorton Colu also comes with a new head, one that was made by me, and should you use the NPC Diversity Pack with Galaxy of Faces Gorton will wear a Military Suit and will bear the face of a militaristic Fascist: And Ajunta Pall has been given a new appearance, though he will be added via a standalone mod which will be found at this link once it is approved: Feel free to let me know what you think of these recent developments!

2 pointsThis is an addon tool which resides in the side panel. Tested for Blender 4.2 and latest KotORBlender. I made this mainly for myself for working with the world mdl files to add and fix issues with foliage, but it can serve a purpose for just working with .mdl in general. I guess the image says what it does, but overall it will be good for newbies (such as myself) but maybe also to others. The "Pre-Flight" is handy if you used KBlender and you never got it to export anything (i saw some comments about that on the KBlender page). There are quite a few criterias that has to be met, and it fixes those. "Add unique node numbers" is also good, you can add 100's of objects and then just click it and it will add unique numbers, very boring to do manually. This is 100% AI written code. So errors, bugs, not doing something correctly or as expected, garbage coding, that can absolutely be a thing. If you want something added to it that you think would be convenient to have when you are working with the world files or mdl files in general, then let me know and i can try to add it. I tried adding a 1-click to do a walk mesh for an object, spent 2 full days on that, it just doesnt work. Same with doing Lightmaps, spent many days on that and got nowhere. But other than those two it seems to have gotten things right, as far as i can tell. If you are good at .py or prompting AI's for code, then get in touch and maybe you could help adding lightmap or walkmesh functions to it. VTools.py Edit Added the .py, just install it like you do for any add-on.

1 pointHas anyone noticed that while K1 uses three different size body models, small, medium, large, that TSL doesn't? It still has the 3 S/M/L entries for them in appearance.2da and still has all the models from K1 with 3 sizes for each variation, but appearance.2da just points to the medium models for everything. The new robe models Obsidian added for TSL only come in the medium size though, so perhaps that's why. Still, seems odd. It would be an easy edit to re-enable them, although I imagine that might screw up some cutscene/conversation camera framing.

1 pointBeen chatting with a few community members, and I've been asked to share some of the other binaries I've come across. Attached below are the binary executables for Kotor 1 Mac, Kotor 2 Mac, Kotor 1 Android, Kotor 1 Xbox XKOTOR KOTOR2sub libKOTOR.so default.xbe

1 pointI agree, it's the weak point of the games, how immensely dead and empty the areas are, but i do think TSL takes the cake. I am working on my game right now, but i will get back to modding when i'm sick of it lol
-
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'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 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 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 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! VarsityPuppet: For making the Spectral Ajunta Pall Canonical Appearance mod! Sniggles: For adding SilverEdge9's mod to his Mod Build which inspired me to make this mod!

1 pointAh, what I meant was that because I created a robust file I/O interface, that it wasn't clear how valuable the existing (unimplemented/gutted) print features would be. Though, in that the functions *are used*, but just not doing anything. Then yes, I agree, this would be quite valuable for sleuthing existing game logic and debugging those issues. For new mods though, I'd definitely recommend my function that's just a wrapper for `fopen`. But regardless, getting logs/feedback out of the game has been asked for a lot, and establishing several avenues for y'all is definitely a high priority for me.

I haven't stuck a way to use it in the patcher just yet, but I have a few ideas.
-
1 pointThat should be very doable, right now the shipBuild function just return `true`, and does nothing else. So as far as patching goes, it's as easy as swapping a byte or two. I'll throw something together later today, and make a mini demo. Good suggestion, I'll add this to the list @DarthParametric Here ya go:

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 pointIf you mean making a mod that makes the player character speak, then I believe this was attempted before in a thread years ago and the result was either it's impossible to do or it requires a lot of time consuming effort to essentially implement one single line of dialogue that it'd take years to produce a little bit of voiced player dialogue that'd be prone to all sorts of problems and incompatibilities that it's virtually impossible regardless.

1 point(Cross posted from Discord) More progress has been made on doing some patching in KotOR 1! Here I demonstrate adding in a simple test function mto the NWScript VM, and running it in-game. The summarize what all is happening here: We patch the space allocated and existing bounds checks for script IDs (I extend the space such that we could have up to 1000 total functions, but I can always extend it more in the future) I patch the existing initialize commands function in the game to continue onto my own block of code where I initialize this new `TestScriptExtension` command to call a simple execution script (using an identical pattern to the existing scripts in this game) I added this command to nwscript.nss so `nwnnsscomp.exe` would recognize and compile the script with this new function (special thanks to Edward T. Smith for making a tool that is so well designed that it works out of the box for our very custom situation here) Set it to run when I talked to carth The actually function just prints some debug text to Windows Debug, however, we can also have them call other game functions, implement custom stack logic, among other things. There's still A LOT of work to be done: I want to clean up the patcher/launcher so that using it is actually intuitive I want to add a bunch more commands to the script extender I want to tutorialize the creation of both new commands and patches, so that the lovely and creative people of kotor modding world can contribute in the future Setting up Kotor 2 compatibility much much more Let me know if ya got any questions!

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.

1 pointHello all, thanks to Fair Strides for pointing me here. Anyhow I'm pretty happy for anybody to do anything with any of my mods or files. No further need to ask for permission with anything from now on.
