I know i started a topic like 2 years ago or something about doing a remaster / retexture, but i never got far into it. So I recently started over again using the new AI model i have been working on for the last 2'ish years on and off, the recent update made it really good at doing clothing. This retexture will be similar to my other remasters i've made in the last years (Jedi Knight 2, Thief 2,Morrowind and Gothic 2). So basically the full game retextured, maybe apart from the smallest stuff which doesnt make sense to retexture. I'm maybe 70% done or so. 1600+ textures so far, but some needs to be remade again or needs fixes. Some examples attached

Snigaroo, I'd like to tackle Party at Davik's. I've already done most of the work. Cheers!

The time has come, the Echani are almost ready to be added to the K1 Alien Pack. These skins were, for the most part, made by me. The Echani textures in the K1EP are by RedRob41 and, I assume, aren't part of the modder's resource element of that mod. Below is an example of an Echani made by me. Since Brianna is supposed to be a hybrid of a human and an Echani (The human Arren Kae as the mother and the Echani Yusanis as the father) I wasn't inspired by her appearance when making the Echani, instead, I was inspired by the appearance of Raskta Lsu. This next skin is based on Daris Solomon's texture from BOSSR. As that mod can be used by modders as per SilverEdge9's blanket permission, I took Solomon's head and modified it to look like someone else despite still using the same head model. Below is the third Echani appearance, it isn't too visible but as you can see if you were to install the Devaronian install you'd get both species side by side. Since the cut Echani in the Ahto City Bar already has a UTC file, there are no extra compatibility patches for the K1 Alien Pack's Echani install and the RC-K1CP which will soon restore the Echani. Just install the RC-K1CP before the K1 Alien Pack's Echani and both the vanilla Echanis and the restored Echanis shall have Echani heads. There are 3 male Echani heads added with 8 NPCs across the entire game being converted into Echanis. Female Echanis may be added in a future update and named NPCs may get their own unique Echani heads in the Galaxy of Faces mod. If you think the K1 Alien Pack adds too few Echani, don't worry - the Echani are few only because the K1 Alien Pack will add more aliens throughout the game so no one alien species will be overrepresented. The K1 Alien Pack's Echani update shall come with another new alien species which I hope to share here once those ones are ready. Stay tuned!

An, almost, full retexture of the entire game. Made with my AI model. Not an "AI Upscale", which is something different. Vurt's KOTOR Visual Resurgence at Knights of the Old Republic Nexus - Mods and community maybe i can upload here once it reaches a more final version.

Edit 9/12/2025 This is ready for beta testing! If anyone is interested please let me know. It theoretically should be compatible with both Extended Enclave and Party Swap, plus most other mods in the recommended build. Installs with TSLPatcher. --- I'm still working on learning the scripting side of things to put everything together, but I finally was able to get my test dialogue, lip files, and edited audio working and wanted to share a snippet! This mod will be fully voiced using less-common and cut original dialogue clipped together to form new conversations, and creates a complete romance arc for Atton and the Exile in the style of the K1 romances. (other mods I use that are visible here: Atton with scruff https://deadlystream.com/files/file/528-atton-rand-with-scruff/TOR ports, Kira Carsen https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1301-tor-ports-kira-carsen-female-player-head-for-tsl/ High Quality Skyboxes 2 https://deadlystream.com/files/file/723-high-quality-skyboxes-ii/ - I need to make some new saves without my usual mod build for when I do real testing and making the actual dialogue files, this was just a test. I play on iPad, so that's the reason for the different UI) Content: I have finished writing the dialogue and editing the audio for seven new main conversations that run from Telos to a final scene just before heading to the Ravager, as well as four shorter repeatable flirting options, two conditional conversations (one if you trigger Atton and Mira's jealousy conversation over Disciple meditation with the Exile, plus one short bit if you have Atton in your party during the Handmaiden Battle Circle), plus a few extended options to flirt back/continue with several comments Atton makes to the Exile in the base game. Currently I am planning to use fade-to-blacks for kiss scenes to match K1 (and also because I have no idea how to animate that in the locations the scenes will be in). Compatibility: This mod will only require the TSLRCM, but I will be using TSLPatcher for installation and hope to make it broadly compatible if possible. Any advice on best practices to achieve this is very much appreciated! I will be testing it with PartySwap at minimum but would like to make it compatible with the full mod build if that is possible. I am leaving out gender checks for all of the new dialogue and am hoping to make this compatible with Leilukin's Atton and Male Exile mod so everyone wanting to romance Atton will be able to regardless of PC gender. I usually play on an iPad so this mod will work fully on iOS. Current progress: With the dialog and audio done and the lip making process set, most of what I have left is figuring out scripting and conditionals enough to put it all together. I need to find out: (updated 9/11/25) how exactly fade in and out of black works regarding the pacing and speed options (I got the initial fade out to work here, but I had to cut the scene off there as the fade back in is not the way I want it to be). How to set up TSLPatcher How to manage compatibility with the mod build. If anyone has advice/tutorials for any of those it would be greatly appreciated! As mentioned above under compatibility, I would also welcome advice on how best to set everything up to be less likely to cause issues with other mods. I'm editing Atton's global dialog file which I know may cause problems with anything else that modifies it, but will be making small changes to several other dialog files too throughout the game. I know I will need to figure out TSLPatcher (thank you ZobiZob for making that video guide to get me started!), but anything I should keep in mind regarding file location/names/formatting/anything else would be wonderful! Credit: Huge thank you to JC, as the SithCodec was absolutely essential for me to be able to do any of this, along with creating multiple things to help with making lip files that saved me a ton of time and effort, plus repeatedly answering my questions in the Discord server when I hit problems I couldn't troubleshoot on my own. 2 months ago I was still not understanding how mods even worked as I am not remotely a computer person, and this is my first attempt at any sort of game modding, but the countless tutorials folks have posted and the supportive community here have been amazing and incredibly helpful! If anyone is interested in beta-testing when I get the scripting and installation figured out, or if you have any other thoughts/suggestions/advice, please let me know. Thanks!

Hello DeadlyStream folks, It's been a long time since I've attempted to create a mod and I'm trying to create the ultimate performance mod for old hardware for KOTOR. For context, my one and only mod contribution to this site has been the TSL of the OLD PC. This is thanks to a combination of contributions by modders on here like BeadV+MDLedit , DarthParametric for allowing me to take his widescreen menu and remove the particles, and the kotor tool by Fred Tetra). Unfortunately, this didn't really address all of the issues of performance on low end systems for TSL. Thankfully it was pretty effective for a lot of use cases and I had fun working on it. Since then, I've wanted to revisit the original KOTOR in attempt to make it push 60FPS on the most meager hardware possible in a way that I could learn to do the same for TSL. In my current mod output testing, is an old Dell laptop running windows XP with 2GB of DDR2, a less than 2GHZ dual core and the infamous Intel chipset graphics accelerator running at a resolution of 1024x768. Successes: The main menu runs at 60fps, placeable explosions, sparks, and other effects visibly render and don't appear to be a detriment to FPS. Unnecessary map animations, added aurora lights, door animations+particles, particles have been removed. The overall framerate and gameplay pacing is better than the vanilla install (in some cases better than original xbox). Failures: At one point, I considered that the vertices, faces, and overall polygon count for map modules could be the ultimate destroyer of framerate on low end systems. So naturally, I looked up Blender tutorials to lower polygon and vertices count. I ended up using KotorBlender and followed that by using the decimate modifier on the nodes and had very limited gains (with some bad visual outcomes). Even when targeting unnecessary map objects that had a ton of vertices, this method didn't have enough FPS gains for what I was trying to achieve. While some map portions that were modified seemed to give an FPS boost, there seemed to be a deeper problem based on player viewpoint. My current struggles (Endar Spire Command Module): I've modified ALL Endar Spire command module maps, Global fx, characters, creatures, and global placeables using the following tools: MDLedit (BeadV), Holocron Toolset (Cortisol), and the kotorblender plugin for Blender (seedhartha). Even with these modifications, the framerate can't sustain over 30fps on the hardware that I'm testing. So far, the framerate appears to be utterly destroyed by the draw/render distance dependent of the controllable in game camera. In the case of the Endar Spire Command Module, the framerate plummets when the main character's camera viewpoint is pointed towards the bridge of the Endar Spire. Does anyone here have any pointers or advice to give me? I would very much appreciate it! 🙂

around 1950 textures are mostly done, gonna go over some of the skyboxes again though, make them 2048x2048 since it just looked quite a lot better.

There were around 215 of these super tiny textures for implants etc, all done! Wasnt going to do these ultra small textures since i thought it would be too difficult to get anything decent out of them, but i think it turned out pretty good. And it is noticeable in game, especially anything that goes on your head.

Hello! It seems almost impossible but only today did I realize that there is a black hole narrative plot in the game. To access the hangar at Davik's where the Ebon Hawk is parked, the Player needs to disable the hangar door's lock mechanism and that needs to be done via computer terminal. So far, so good. But in order to fly away with the Ebon Hawk, the Player should also need the security codes to disable what Davik in the intro tour calls "the state of the art security system I've had installed to protect her." I dismissed those words when I played, but they are significant and they are practically hinting at the existence of a very sophisticated alarm system. Other than Davik himself, the only other person able to bypass the alarm system is the Ebon Hawk's pilot Hudrow, currently being tortured at Davik's and kept in a cage. If you free him, he will reward the Player with sharing the security codes that SHOULD BE NECESSARY to fly the Ebon Hawk. But that is not the case. The Player can just disable the hangar door's security at the terminal just using spikes, enter the hangar, fight David Kang and happily leave with the Ebon Hawk. I'm very surprised that nobody else noticed it or spoke about it before me. Or perhaps I never found a topic about it. If there is an ongoing discussion I have overlooked, I'd be grateful to be pointed at it to learn what others would say. I'm locally going to do something about this to rectify the situation. Thanks!

Some more in-game screens

The KOTOR test for Revision 12 has just been completed. With one exception which will need to be re-tested next Revision, every submitted mod was accepted--thank you to all the modders who fulfilled these requests! I have now removed the fulfilled requests from the OP, so now only active requests are present there. As always, I have thought of some more things I'd like in the course of this playthrough, and we have some new requests too. They are, in order of appearance: Swoop Overhaul CHA Items for DS Players Buffed Dueling Twitch is Hard Sentinels With Skills I'm Within Milliseconds of Winning Screw You Sith Armor Allows Force Abilities Party at Davik's Carth and the Player Both Require Sith Uniforms Tusken Aren't Blind Yuthura Opens Up Zaalbar and Chuundar Geometry Problems Enemy Diversity No, I Don't Want to Gather My Party Before Venturing Forth Altogether, not an insignificant amount of new requests! I hope they inspire some of you. As with the last Revision cycle, any of these requests fulfilled will not be tested until the next Revision. It's impossible to predict when that will be with accuracy, but I would estimate at least a year from this post, as two Revisions have come in quick succession and I would like to give users a breather without another big update for a while. Thanks all!

Removed the .tpc version since it had many graphical issues. new version is tga!

Presumably alpha channel masks for envmaps, like Sith troopers or Mandos, for example. Or the Hawk, both exterior and interior, amongst many others.

Hello everybody! It's been a while since i posted anything on the forum. I decided to officially start the topic for this big work in progress project, doing something way more structured than my original topic that you can see here : Zobizob's playground. The original topic was going in every direction and was a literal mess, but now i have got a proper aim and goal. You can find the informations within the spoilers down below, have a nice read! Who am I? Why this project? What is the "Kotor Expansion Pack"? The current state and future of this project The very first small showcase from this project, shaping the environments The credit list Sketchfab models under creative common attribution license. Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for more

I'm also interested in working on the Ajuur Medical Supplies Respawn request.

Isn't T3 supposed to have superior code breaking and computer slicing skills? Got you into a Sith military base so I imagine getting onto the Ebon Hawk wouldn't be too much harder.

I am experiencing a glaring problem with the Alpha Channel of the retexture of Bastila's head. Instead of a transparency effect I get a full white color. Removing the Alpha Channel fixes the issue, but I thought I'd report it.

they're pretty much 1:1. but if you have a more specific idea of how to improve them i can give it a shot for sure.

I like how the AI Textures work, I'd like to see the Leviathan, if done.

No, that is literally the opposite. Fadeout on object destruction is the default. You have to manually specify for fade to be disabled. Whether your video card can render it properly is perhaps another issue entirely, but unrelated to what the game is actually doing. Unless you use a stunt animation, the rotation of the die/dead animations are going to vary based on the creature's starting rotation. I would assume he is jumped to a waypoint for the final death shot, but that can still be a little inconsistent in terms of facing due to the way conversations work. So yes, it's probably going to vary a little, but it shouldn't do so in a significant manner. Especially since they are probably using static cameras which have a fixed position, so he needs to stay in the same spot to remain framed. That said, it's possible that TSLRCM changed things with the scene composition that might be a factor. I'm not sure.

It's more a case of ATI/AMD driver support for OpenGL being (still) trash whereas nVidia's support for it is competent. The script in question chokes DeNCS so I only have bytecode, but it's worth noting that both the vanilla and TSLRCM versions are set to use fade out in both of the DestroyObject calls the script makes. So whatever TSLRCM changed, it wasn't that apparently.

There's a very likely chance that the OP is very un-knowledgeable about in modding in general judging by this quote from their Mod Request thread. I would advise to assume novice level here.

The time has come, this is the WIP thread for the Kotor II counterpart of my Kotor I NPC Overhaul Series. In this WIP thread, I shall be showcasing ports of my K1 NPC Overhaul into K2 alongside brand new NPC Overhaul mods specifically for K2. The Kotor II NPC Diversity Pack shall be very different from my Kotor I counterpart, instead of releasing a rather finished product and then perfecting that product through updates the first release shall include just Telos and will add new planets every update until most of the planets are complete. I say "most" planets because some planets simply don't have NPCs to overhaul like Peragus and Malachor for example. Unlike Kotor I, many of the commoner NPCs spread across the galaxy are just downright bad. What do I mean by this? Well, Commoners often have very few unique dialogues so a room with 10 men inside will each share the exact same dialogue with just three lines, the Commoner NPCs in the 201TEL Citadel Hangar will stop and remain stuck standing forever when you speak with them, a commoner in 202TEL will run away from the Mercenary fight and end up stuck in a corner, commoners in 202TEL are positioned weird with one man standing on the edge of a 500 foot drop, NPCs in 204TEL and 302NAR have this weird "random" walking script which doesn't take into account where that NPC actually is resulting in commoners entering the Ithorian Compound, not reacting to the Mercenary Battle, and Refugees ending up outside the Refugee Area stuck inside the ramp areas. And the worst part of Kotor II's commoner NPCs is that: 1) They all share the exact same filename, for example "n_telm01.utc" is spread between a few Telos modules. In my experience, this has caused havoc with the TSLPatcher and HoloPatcher (Though this could just be a skill issue on my part). 2) More often than not an NPCs UTC file will be duplicated inside the .GIT file, meaning there will always be two identical NPCs unless the .GIT file is modified to remove the duplicate. Now, compare these to Kotor I's commoner NPCs. There are multiple Commoner dialogues with multiple lines to give variety, the best example being the Taris Upper City. Commoners have unique walking scripts which directs them to do laps across a certain location of the map, the best examples being the Taris Upper City, Dantooine Jedi, and Anchorhead Commoners. 95% of Commoners have their own unique UTC file for each module and only 2% of NPCs have the .GIT file duplication problem. Kainzorus Prime's [TSL] NPC Overhaul Mod directly changed the .UTC files and nothing else. This means problems 1 and 2 mentioned above are in full force with this mod. Problem 1) All the commoner NPC files are the exact same between modules, and since this mod was made before the "FileName" functionality was introduced to the TSLPatcher this mod has to be installed more than 50 times as you are installing .UTC files into each individual module in the game. Problem 2) The duplicated NPCs are in this mod but they're less noticeable. Look at the screenshot down below, count how many Asian men wearing pink clothes you see. My NPC Diversity Pack for Kotor II shall fix both of these problems, to prevent having multiple .UTC files shared across multiple modules use the exact same .UTC file I've modified the .GIT files to replace the vanilla Commoner .UTC files files, like "n_telm01.utc" for example, with new modded .UTC files with unique file names per module. I've not only removed the duplicate NPCs from the .GIT file, but I've also added new NPCs and new placeables into different modules. In this spoiler down below, I've added NPCs to the background of the 202TEL Citadel module to imply that these are areas in which people are working and living in. A major hurdle in 202TEL is that Commoners will run away from the Mercenary fight and get stuck in the corner, TSF Officers will fight the Sullustan and not you if you went Dark Side, and no one seems to react to the Masked Duros Assassin fight. These have been fixed in a number of ways. The vanilla NPCs have been swapped out for NPCs with unique .UTC files and have all been moved into the airport area that leads to the Residential Modules. The airport area that leads to the Docks are empty to imply that the Transit Shuttle has just left leaving the area empty, this was done to improve the Masked Duros Fight so that he now isn't attacking you in front of civillians. Each of the new NPCs have their own unique dialogue, the child reuses the child line from the Onderon Child that goes "I'm not supposed to talk to offworlders". the Bith, Aqualish, and Ithorian shall use alien VO, the two other women in the background shall have "[This woman is ignoring you]" dialogue and will be mute, the Smuggler shall reuse traveller dialogue from 201TEL, the Onderonian is the Onderonian Diplomat from 204TEL as he'll be moved out of the Hospital Area and into this area. The TSF Patrols have been replaced with cleaning and maintenance droids, it will now make sense as to why they aren't properly reacting to the Mercenary fight or you murdering the Sullustan as these are low-intelligence droids who can't act as reliable witnesses to their/your crimes. Thus far, I've only started tinkering with 202TEL and 203TEL whenever I've felt like it. The first release of the K2 NPC-DP mod is nowhere near ready, but this is the NPC Overhaul "Series" WIP thread, and just like in K1 that means I'm developing other mods to be used alongside the K2 NPC-DP mod. A Peragus NPC Overhaul is 99% complete and could be released real soon, the problem is that I don't know "how" to release it. Do you guys know of my Beta Peragus Miner Pack? It adds a few optional installations for those who might want to restore the cut Peragus Uniforms that were based on the Czerka Uniforms. You can't install all of these installations all together though, one install might convert all the Peragus Miners into Beta Peragus Miners whilst another install might restore the Beta Peragus Miners for one or two Peragus Miners whilst the rest wear the vanilla Miner's Uniform. Right now, the Peragus NPC Overhaul is setup as an update to the Beta Peragus Miner Pack which I feel might overcomplicate the installation process. All together, there would be 9 installations if it goes ahead as an update. Here are the installations: 1) Everyone a Beta Miner: Self-explanatory, converts Peragus Miners into Beta Peragus Miners for those who want to roleplay "what if Obsidian kept the Beta model". 2) No Player Heads: Removes the Player Heads from the Peragus Miners, namely one of Coorta's Thugs, and replaces them with generic Commoner heads. 3) Some Beta Miners: Self-explanatory, only converts some of the Peragus Miners into Beta Peragus Miners so that some Miners wear Miner's Uniforms whilst others wear Beta Miner uniforms. 4) Proper Peragus Corpses: Turns the Peragus Corpse placeables invisible and spawns dead Peragus Miner NPCs on top of the invisible placeables. These dead Peragus Miners reuse the four Peragus Miner appearances meaning they'll be plenty of cloned appearances but, by comparison to the normal game like the Telos Militry Base, would fit right in. 5) Peragus NPC Overhaul: Cannot be installed without 'Proper Peragus Corpses'. Gives each and every dead Peragus Miner their unique appearance. Since there are so many bodies scattered throughout Peragus, the generic Commoner heads you'll see will only appear once with the only repeats being the Devaronians. 6) No more "Destroy Terminal" option: Removes the option to destroy the computer terminals on Peragus, thus forcing you to complete the Peragus questlines. 7) Lootable Lockers: The static lockers that you cannot access on Peragus will all be given randomly generated loot you can access. 8,) Tiered Peragus Miners: Requires the Peragus Mining Gear mod to be installed and cannot be installed without 'Proper Peragus Corpses' and 'Peragus NPC Overhaul'. With the Peragus Mining Gear mod installed, this install readds the vanilla Miner's Uniform back into the game as a seperate item to the Peragus Mining Gear armor. This install will change the dead Peragus Miner's so that they are wearing a mix of Peragus Mining Gear, Miner's Uniform, and Beta Peragus Uniform. 9) Vibrocutter Swap: Cannot be installed without 'Proper Peragus Corpses'. This install will render the Corpse with the Vibrocutter unusable and will move the Vibrocutter to the locker in the Peragus Security Office. Consider this install a compatibility patch as Lewok's mod won't work with this mod. So, what do we think? Should I partition the Beta Peragus Miner Pack update into several smaller mods? And if so, what how many mods and which sections will go into these mods? When I get around to working on the K2 NPC-DP mod, or any other mod in the K2 NPC Overhaul Series, I shall post my progress here. I look forward to hearing what you all think in the mean time. 😎

Probably a script change that didn't specify fadeout on object destruction.

This right here is the reason I haven't tried out any of your appearance mods, @N-DReW25. Between the constant updates, the unclear documentation of compatibility, and specifics of what's included in each - that's why I have steered clear. It's a shame because some of the screen shots look interesting. I suppose I'll just wait until it's included in Snigaroo's Mod Builds. No offense intended in any of this, of course.

Okay found it, its the 'Unescapable' field in the .are in the .rim - value needs to be set as 0 to allow party swapping. Thanks @CapitaineSpoque

Is that relevant? It's on Github. That shouldn't be the case from what I recall, since the door should be locked and signal the trooper to initiate a conversation if you try to open it. If it is broken then nobody bothered to tell me about it. But there's nothing stopping someone from using that mod as a basis to make a "proper" version if it's required. It would be useful if people would create an issue for this type of thing on the K1CP repo. Soon™. I did a basic fix of that ages ago that just duplicated the vanilla GUI image. Functional, but not particularly pretty.

Good day. I haven't seen these messages. Thank you!) The problem with the tail has been solved. But the problem with the eyelashes. Perhaps you'd like to take a look: Lara.rar

This is not so much a modding question as it is a game play function. I'm running the steam version for KOTOR 1. The problem I am having is that my keyboard and mouse movement for the turret are inoperative. So much so, that I can only move the Ebon Hawk turret about 5-10 pixels a time. and by that time, I've only managed to knock out 2 or 3 of the fighters out of the 8 that swarm you. My keyboard setup has "A" for left, "D" for right, "W" for up, and "S" for down. Not even the Spacebar is available for firing. Even if I press and hold my laptop mouse touch pad to move the turret, it is soo slow, the battle is over even before I can do much damage. I have even turned the difficulty setting from "normal" to "easy." Is there a workaround or solution to this issue? When I play KOTOR 2 and do the turret option in retaking the palace on Onderon, or the opening fighter sequence in Onderon orbit, my keyboard and mouse and move and fire the turret in both mini-game sequences just fine.

Hello 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! 👀

View File Heyorange's Sith Uniform Reformation [Revised] Heyorange's Sith Uniform Reformation (Revised) A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Original Author: Heyorange (aka Pataschka) Upscales and Tweaks by Sith Holocron (with assistance) Note from Sith Holocron: You may be familiar with HeyOrange’s Sith Uniform Reformation mod. This a revised version of that mod. This mod aims to not have the same method of dropping a swath of UTC files in your Override which makes for compatibility nightmares. The intention is for this mod to handle this integration through module injection. DESCRIPTION: Regarding the textures: This mod upscales the original mod’s textures to 4 times their original size. After that was done, I’ve tweaked the individual textures to add (or readd) detail that was either missing or misinterpreted by the upscaling AI. This includes adding detail where applicable such as: · New gold or silver braids by the zippers and the sleeves on certain officer uniforms · New rank bars on the chest, sleeve and pauldrons · New PIPs and rank symbols for those rank bars · New replacement pockets for both the male and female blouses. Some with brand new code cylinders in those pockets, some without. (Some of the original textures had empty pockets and I’ve kept those empty as HeyOrange did) · Readded fresh versions of the Regiment Insignia on the pauldrons and blouse pockets · New collar devices to replace the old ones · Clean up on some of the trouser stripes that were muddled during the AI upscale · New buttons to replace the drawn-on ones on ammo pouches · New eyes for the Sith Officers male and female heads · New bandage (by Malkior) for Major Hurka texture The mod includes four install options labeled as: 1. Basic Installation 2. KOTOR Community Patch-Compatible Installation 3. Extra: Sith Students + Czerka on Korriban Fix 4. Extra: KOTOR 1 Restoration Fix Option #1 is the base install, which contains all of the textures included in the original mod by HeyOrange with my upscales and edits, in addition to edits to N_SithComF02, N_SithComF03, N_SithComM02 and N_SithComM03, which are variants of Sith enlisted textures which heyorange’s original mod did not edit. This version also removes some edits heyorange made to Sith stats, gear and loot, reverting them to vanilla. Option #2 is a Community Patch-compatible version of the same above install. Option #3 is an add-on which includes a reskin of the standard uniform for Sith students on Korriban which also fixes Czerka workers on Korriban so they wear correct uniforms. Do not choose this option if you are using another mod which makes similar changes, such as Korriban: Back in Black! Option #4 is an add-on for the KOTOR 1 Restoration (or other mods that restore Major Hurka) providing her with a unique uniform. INSTALLATION: If intending to use the Community Patch-compatible mod version, please ensure the K1CP is installed first before proceeding with this installation. Select whichever of the two base installs fit your needs (Option #1, or option #2 for K1CP compatibility), run the installer and select the chosen option and hit install. Point the installer to your game’s main directory (where the executable is located) and you’re done! If you wish to use option #3 or option #4, you will need to re-run the installer and select those options after applying the main install. The rest of the install process is the same. CREDITS: To Snigaroo: For suggesting this project in the first place and for consistent feedback throughout the project, as well as writing parts of this readme. To JCarter426: For both setting up the TSLPatcher install to make this mod possible. To Malkior: For the new bandages on the Major Hurka texture in the K1R folder. To Fair Strides: For consistent feedback throughout the project. To Effix: Effix did provide me with some work on textures pre-upscaling at the start of this project but I wound up not using his work. However, it seemed appropriate to thank them for their help. Thanks, Effix! The following is the read-me from the original mod excluding the installation instructions as this version of the mod will be handled differently in that aspect. FROM THE ORIGINAL MOD: Heyorange's Sith Uniform Reformation A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Author: Heyorange (aka Pataschka) Version: 1.0 Description: This mod is a bunch of reskins of the Sith officer uniforms. Different uniforms with different rank insignias were given to different officers throughout the game to give a bit more realistic look. Aside from that, the uniform of the Admiral Saul Karath was changed and a new reskin for Sith students was added. The Mod is divided into 3 parts: 1. Heyorange's Sith Uniform Reformation - the main part of the mod 2.

Some bad news and some good news. The bad news: the restored Carth's dialogue when you're initially tossing and turning in your bed has been removed as a temporary solution to a game breaking bug. The good news: the update that removed the above restored content replaced it with Shuma the Hutt. Here is how he appears in the pre-release screenshots: Here is how he appears in RC-K1CP: The old restoration mods and K1R all restore Shuma out in the Hangar Bay even though the above pre-release screenshot exists and the fact that Shuma greets you to his "humble abode" - a term that would make much more sense if he were inside an actual room and not out in the open in the Hangar Bay. To both differentiate RC-K1CP from K1R and to remain faithful to Bioware's original intention with the character, I have restored Shuma inside Elise's room, the one where she appears after you complete the missing droid sidequest. Elise, her boyfriend/her droid will now spawn in the hallway just outside the room to make way for Shuma. In the game files there are four Hutt textures whilst in the vanilla game there only three Hutts. With Shuma added, that brings the total up to four Hutts and as you can probably tell Shuma is using Ajuur's old appearance. To prevent two identical Hutts in your game I decided to restore the unused Hutt texture for Ajuur on Taris. Ajuur will now look like this:

You will need the KOTOR Blender plugin. I used the 3.3 LTS version of blender but it looks like it has now been updated to newer versions. I still recommend using a LTS version. First you need to switch to the lightmap UV. If you don't, the lightmap will be baked on top of the diffuse texture. You can find this under UV Maps in each meshes Object Data Properties. Select each mesh and click UVMap_lm. Yes, it is tedious but it's required. To bake the lightmaps with the plugin, click the KotOR menu -> Lightmaps -> Bake(Auto). You should click an empty space, first, to make sure no meshes are selected. If meshes are selected it will only bake for what is selected. At this point you may notice the lighting looks bad. The UVs need to be unwrapped and some lightmaps will need to be resized to a higher resolution. This is optional but it helps me keep it organized. Look through the list of meshes and see which ones have lightmaps. I then rename the meshes to start with the lightmap name (lm0_Object19,lm1_Box01, lm9_mesh456,...). When unwrapping the UVs this makes it easy to select all meshes that share a lightmap, which you may be doing multiple times. There's 3 ways to unwrap the lightmap UVs. Each has different advantages and disadvantages. The best to use will depend on each group of meshes, sharing a lightmap. 1) Lightmap Pack (Most efficient) - This one will work for most but sometimes the triangles of a face get separated, creating an ugly seam. 2) Unwrap (Medium efficient) - Keeps the basic shape of faces the same bust doesn't pack as efficiently. This one requires you to select all(a key) UVs first or nothing happens. 3) Smart UV Project (Least efficient) - This one maintains the shape of faces perfectly but each UV takes up a lot of space. May require you to increase the lightmap resolution really high to look good (1024x1024 or more). While in the layout workspace, select all meshes that share a lightmap. Then switch to the UV Editing workspace. All meshes need to be selected in the 3D view, for the UVs to show in the UV editor. Then select one of the unwrap types in UV -> Unwrap. Remember, if doing regular unwrap, selecting all UVs is first required. Now, go back to the Layout workspace and bake the lightmaps. Some lightmaps may have weird artifacts or look low res. You can compensate for that by resizing the lightmap texture. Go to the UV Editing workspace and select the lightmap to edit. Then Image -> Resize. I try not to resize higher than 512x512 and I keep less detailed meshes between 16 and 128. The larger the texture size, the more memory it takes in game and the longer it takes to bake. Then go back to Layout workspace and bake again. To save the lightmap texture, go to UV Editing layout then Image -> Save As. You will need to do this for each lightmap once and make sure you choose TGA when saving. After, you can use Save All Images. I haven't even touched on lighting but here's a few tips: - Under World Properties, the surface color will affect your lighting a lot. I prefer to just remove the surface(or make it darker) and it gives me more control over the lighting. - Point lights fill the room with a lot of ambient light. If you want more control over the shadows use spot lights. - The game engine will add even more lighting on top of the scene. You can control this in the light's Object Properties -> KotOR Model Node -> Light

Hello KotOR modding community. It has certainly been a long time since I've posted here. While life has been busy and can get in the way of modding, I have been working on a big project in secret. For the past few years I have been chipping away at my own version of an A.I. Upscale 4x mod for most of the default character files in both games. Because it has been slow going, I didn't want to get distracted by constantly responding to "when is it going to be ready?" prompts when I could be spending time on the files. I also didn't want to get anyone's hopes up about it, only to then keep delaying because I'm often too much of a perfectionist. But after so much time has elapsed, I keep thinking that I need to put something out, even if it is incomplete in my books. To give you an idea of how big a project this is, I have completed 329/475 textures that are common to both games, 71/214 textures for K1, and 184/419 textures for TSL. That makes for a grand total of 584/1108 textures or 52.71%. I'm using the textures as the basis for completion, but there are also 459 models for K1 and 648 models for TSL completed so far. I've attached a spreadsheet with a list of all the files involved. The reason why it is so slow going is that this mod is more than just a simple process of running all the character textures through an A.I. upscaling program. The purpose is to increase the size and fidelity of the character textures while maintaining the painterly style of the original game artists. I have also been attempting to fix many of the UVW mapping errors, lighting errors, and some XYZ errors that the original model .mdl & .mdx files may have had. One problem of upscaling textures that I've found is that the model seams become glaringly obvious at higher resolution, so I've been painstakingly painting those to look seamless. Anyone who is familiar with my previously released mods will know how much I try to fix those pesky model errors. The other thing about A.I. upscaling software, is that I haven't found one that gives perfect results. Instead of relying on one result, I usually run texture files through an A.I. upscaling program multiple times using different settings. Some settings result in "crunchy" textures (high contrast, sharp edges). Some result in "soft" textures (smooth gradients, lower contrast, blurry edges). Some result in better straight/parallel lines. Early tests used Vance AI; Deep Image; ImageUpscaler; or Let's Enhance. Eventually Topaz Labs' Gigapixel AI was chosen and used on the majority of textures. Then I combine textures in a multi layered Photoshop file, using layer masks to isolate the best parts of each upscaled image. This allows for some portions to be smooth (like skin, glass, metal or tubing), others to be sharp (like burlap, skin folds, hair, scratches, etc). Then I manually paint away errors, fix seams, and make additional changes. At any rate, the reason for this WIP post is that I've been out of the loop for so long, that I don't know the best way to package and upload the mod. I usually use 7zip, so that's not the problem. I currently have 378 tga, tpc, & txi files (4.09 GB) that are common to both games; 459 mdl, mdx, tga, tpc, & txi files (1.07 GB) specifically for K1; 648 mdl, mdx, tga, & txi files (2.90 GB) specifically for TSL. I was originally planning on packaging them up all together and letting the user to put them into their respective override folders, making the common files only needing to be downloaded once. The other option is to make two download packages, one for each game, where the common files are included in both packs. This would result in having to download the largest batch of files twice, but it would be easier for installation. To complicate it further, I would also make download packages for a tpc only installation (for smaller file sizes and easier to run in-game). The other questions I have are: which upload method do users prefer: single download for both games (smaller size overall), or two files (one for each game makes installation easier)? how many screenshot images can be uploaded to showcase the contents of the mod? I currently have 197 pngs for a total of 561 MB, and would like to make more. I've attached a few to sample a range of the types of changes the mod tackles. are there any samples for the Read Me file regarding Permissions and Credits? I want to make the tga version into a modder's resource. Where is the best place to put a link to my "Buy me a Coffee" tip jar? I'm hoping to use any funds towards software upgrades for future modding. I don't know if I'll ever actually finish this mod, but I need to share what I've got before the universe jumps in again and makes something impossible for me. Anyway, happy New Year. I hope to continue more of this work in 2025. Screenshot samples: KotOR upscale completed list v0_52.xlsx

OK so here's another comparison, this time with the star map timing adjusted and with the (re)addition of the vanilla lighting, as requested by @Sith Holocron. Although I did tweak the light in the first room to switch it from the original yellow colour to the blue of the light in the star map room. I've since made a minor FoV tweak to the last shot (from 11° to 12°) which hopefully should bring every shot to parity - or as close as I can make it - with the original. I think the only remaining changes are to open the door leading to the room where you encounter the droid (and Nemo's corpse), and delete the flag placeable in the computer room just visible off in the background of the close-up on Malak's face. Strangely the lights fixed the issue with the shading around Malak's eye sockets, which was a nice bonus. The only thing remaining that really bugs me now is the desync between the star map opening and the sound effect for it. This is present in the original video, so it's a problem with the audio track. I'm guessing they must have made a late adjustment to the animation after they had already finalised the audio. Or maybe it was just a mistake. Not sure what can be done to fix it. We could overlay a duplicate of the map opening SFX, but then you'd get a weird duplicate/echo thing going on. Maybe that back end of the audio track could be adjusted/stretched? That might screw up the music though. I guess I can try playing around with it.

The Dantooine dream stunt anims exist, although Revan and Malak's positions don't line up with the Ruins layout so they'd need adjustment. The animated camera does line up with the layout though (starts outside the star map chamber). The models are M15aa_c01_cam, M15aa_c01_char02 (Malak), M15aa_c01_char04 (Revan), M15aa_c01_char03 (door). For other stuff like the Bastila/Revan fight and the revelation sequence, most of it should be able to be recreated with mostly generic anims. It would probably need to be done in TSL, just because you can script all anims there, unlike K1. There might need to be the odd custom anim cobbled together. The star map fly-arounds would be simple enough. It's really only the Hawk's take-off/landing sequences, Taris fly-overs/bombardment, and endgame Star Forge battle sequences that would be difficult. They can't really be done in-engine. I did play around with the idea of redoing the take-off/landing videos, but it would be a ton of effort. I had a brief fiddle with the first half of the Manaan take-off before moving off to focus on other things. That would really require a team of people, not just because of the workload but because you'd need people to handle different facets. Like all the missing VFX in this shot for example.

View File Unique Sith Governor A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Author: N-DReW25 1.0.0 Release Date: 14.05.2023 Installation: Simply click on the TSLPatcher.exe, click install and sit back and watch the TSLPatcher do its magic. Description: The Sith Governor is an NPC you encounter towards the end of Taris, in the vanilla game he uses the 'Dark Jedi Apprentice' appearance which is seen throughout the game as a generic enemy. The appearance of the Dark Jedi Apprentice NPCs is very similar to the appearance of Darth Bandon, an NPC you find later on in the game. Whilst the game doesn't explicitly say this, we can assume that the Sith Governor NPC is a non-Tarisian foreigner who was appointed to his position by his superior Dark Jedi. The Governor mentions he doesn't yet own a Lightsaber, suggesting he's only an Apprentice. Dialogue with various NPCs across Taris suggests that the Sith Governor is the absolute dictator of the Sith occupation on Taris as he most likely signs up any law the Tarisians have to abide by and has the absolute authority to do whatever action he wants to govern his planet. For an NPC with such authority on Taris, why would he look like every other Dark Jedi Apprentice you see in the game? And since the Dark Jed Apprentice looks like Darth Bandon, it lessens the 'impact' both NPCs have on the player. You see the Sith Governor... he isn't unique, he looks like Darth Bandon! You see Darth Bandon... he isn't anything special, he looks like that weak Sith Governor. This mod was requested by the user "Sniggles", the one who maintains the Kotor Mod Builds on Reddit, to fix that problem. With this mod installed, the Sith Governor shall wear a unique Sith Governor's uniform based on the vanilla Sith Officer uniform and shall have a unique head model capable of displaying the mask item he wears making his appearance totally unique from Darth Bandon. This mod was originally going to be included as part of a bigger Sith Officer uniform mod, though with the prospect of Sniggles adding it to the Kotor Mod Builds and the fact some players might prefer this small mod over a big Sith Officer mod, I have since decided to release this feature separately. Known Bugs: This mod shouldn't have bugs but if there is Just PM me on Deadlystream. If the player and/or party is wearing a mask item, it is possible that the Sith Governor's mask item might be rendered invisible. This is a bug in the Game's engine and cannot be fixed. Incompatibilities: Please report any incompatibilities! If you have "Invisible Headgear" installed the Sith Governor's mask shall also be invisible. Permissions: Do NOT claim credit for this mod and do not use assets from this mod without my permission. As per Heyorange's readme, assets from the Sith Uniform mod are free to use as long as Heyorange is properly credited. Thanks to: Heyorange: For creating the Sith Uniform Reformation mod, for which the Sith Governor's uniform is based on! Sniggles: For requesting the mod! Bioware: For such an amazing game! Obsidian: For giving Colonel Tobin a Dark Side transition, this skin was used as a basis for the Sith Governor's Dark Side transition! Fred Tetra: For Kotor Tool! Stoffee: For TSLPatcher!

If you're talking about models exported from KoTOR, you can't. To turn low-poly models to high-poly, you generally use subdivision levels. In Blender, it's a modifier called 'Subdivision surface', in Max they call it 'Turbosmooth'. Anyway, this simply splits each quad (i.e., a face with 4 vertices) in smaller bits. An algorithm calculates the average distances between existing vertices when placing the new ones, making the model look smoother. You can easily divide a quad because each side will be split in 2, so from one quad you end with 4 quads. And so on. However, triangles can't be split evenly so subdividing those can generate inadequate results. See below: The cube on the left consists of only quads, while the one on the right is made of triangles. The cubes below are the result obtained from subdividing the cubes above. Now, I'm going over this stuff because models in KoTOR are made up of triangles. Partly because the 3d assets are really old, but also because video game engines prefer triangles in general. Here's what the Rodian model looks like when freshly imported in Blender. Triangles galore! I've added a subdivided version of the same model on his right. Now, depending on what you want to achieve this might be perfectly fine for you. However if you want to rework the models or use them as a base for sculpting, you won't get far with this. Instead, you want to turn those triangles into quads. For a good chunk of them, you can do so with a neat shortcut in Blender: Go into 'Edit mode', press A to select all, then hit Alt+J. Now that's much better already. Some stuff is falling apart because I didn't merge the model's vertices as several of them are split. You'll notice that a lot of triangles remain on the hand and the head. For these, your options are limited to manually fix them into quads. If you're new to 3d, this is going to be challenging, because you need to understand how topology works to get a good result in the end. Again, it depends on what you want to achieve. If you're looking to get a base to do some sculpting on, I would simply create primitive objects (cubes, spheres, cylinders, etc.), resize and place them to match the model. Here's what it would look like: Then apply the subdivision, import in your preferred sculpting software, remesh/dynamesh and get going. As for tools, there's a wide variety you can choose from. Blender has the advantage of being free and having a lot of online resources, especially on Youtube, available. However it lacks some useful features that you might one day care about and many find its UI very confusing. Most other software suites, if not all, are destined to a professional audience and are therefore quite intimidating to beginners. Generally, there is no one single program that can do everything perfectly. They're just tools and they more or less excel at the given tasks they were designed for. If you're only getting started in 3D, I'd recommend using Blender until you understand all the basics of 3d, then get the trial versions of similar general 3D software (Maya, Modo, 3DSMax, etc.) and see what you prefer.

aha! thanks man

One thing that was particularly helpful for me when I reskinned modules is the ever handy Rename Master, a utility that can rapidly rename hundreds of files.
