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! Sleheyron- Story Mode 1.0 - Mods - Deadly Stream

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!

I'm calling the police.

Thank you so much for investigating this. I'll keep this in mind for when I return to the GenoHaradan Legacy update!

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 :)

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 either the last week of August or first week of September, so anyone who wants to have their content tested for the next build revision can treat the end of August as the rough "deadline" for testing inclusion for K2. Thanks all!

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.

You'd have to strategically replace stuff already listed in the item code list. There are ways to interface with the system, but adding custom codes, like DarthParametric said, isn't possible. Familiarity with the KotOR Tool Templates.bif, Item section. Look at a_light /a_medium / a_heavy / a_robe items. I wrote a Nexus Article about how those items are sectioned, by letter C through K, referring to model in the appeareance.2da

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 Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for more

First, thank you for your interest over the mod N-DreW! I explained it a bit but im gonna try to be clearer here. As an end user myself, the process of installing thousand separate mods is very tedious, and only the most persevering players out there do it. It also requires each time to have a compatibility patch for the hundreds of mods out there, which make it even more tedious (also regarding the installing order). As i said, what it will lack in modularity (having things separated into hundred pieces), it will gain in install ease. Also, as i said, this is only "my take" on what i think is good, which is very subjective. Not saying that it inherently "is" good. Having everything into a single pack ensures that my vision about the game design and the mod philosophy is cohesive from start to finish. I totally understand that people may disagree on a lot of changes brought by my mod, but once again, this is only "my take" on this. That being said... I said i'd be hopefully releasing my content as modder's ressource, and my mod will be entirely free to edit. So if anyone out there do want to separate the content into smaller pieces, especially regarding the quality of life content (such as model repairs), they will be free to do so and i don't see any problem with this. Honestly this project is already so big that separating everything into little chunk would take me twice the time, and i'd like to hopefully finish this before the next century 😅 This is a disclaimer. I know there are K2 lovers out there. I'm not one of them, and i do not care that much about K2's lore and story to be honest. I am just being completely transparent about it, so hopefully people out here won't come to me and say : "Hey! This is not lore accurate with K2!" because honestly, i do not bother that much So specifically about force powers and feats: Once again, its only my take and my vision on all of this. I am trying to improve Kotor's sandbox as best as i can, and as i said i'm gathering most of the possible feats and force powers that can be done and implemented into K1 (which include K2 force powers and community's ideas). I am not trying to appeal or adapt to most people out there (and it would be an error to do so), because anyone has its takes and ideas. I cannot appeal to everyone, i cannot fit into everyone's expectation. People also have to realize this, and that its only an amateur work, something i am first doing for myself and not for the others. But once again, if someone wants to extract portion of my mods to release smaller or edited portion of it, they are free to do so Also, while we are on force powers and feats... Enemies are able to use them. So can you imagine? I'd have to edit separately EVERY npc sheet from the game to implement the feats? Then do the same for force powers? Items? I have neither the courage, nor the time. I am a single dude out there, an amateur afterall. I get what you mean tho and at the moment regarding my workflow, my work is separated to help me fix or add the things i need to work on (so, i've got the companions in a folder, the feats and force powers in another one, the items, the planet content...). As i said, i'd love to share this work and to have proper feedback, hence why i'll be releasing alpha/beta builds down the line with a proper discord server to gather feedback. Unfortunately, if something does not appeal to someone, then they can install something else. As i said, i'm not here to appeal to most people, or make my work fit their expectations. I am doing this project for myself first But as i said, if someone wants to separate the work into smaller piece, they can. So this is pretty simple. In K1, it is not possible to create new spellcaster classes because custom spellcaster classes do not gain any force power points (hence why the jedi companions will keep their default classes), BUT we can definitely add new non jedi classes. All of this process is done editing the Classes.2da file most notably, but there are definitely some limitations. I can edit freely: The amount of HP per level, the attack bonus table/saving throwtable (because, it uses a separate .2da file that basically specify how much attack bonus you get at a specified level) and the amount of skill points gained, if you get or not the effects from leveling up at each level (feats, skills...). There is a limitation regarding: Classes defense bonus, feat table, skill table, spellgain table and featgain, as there is a limitation in the number of classes (8 max). So with all of this in mind, we can already make pretty nice variations over the base classes. For instance, my new "Pilot" class for Carth uses everything from soldier, but he gets an additionnal skill point per level and has access to the scout skills. My new "Mandalorian" class for Canderous make him gain extra attack bonus per level, so instead of 1 per level (20 max), he now gets 1.25 attack per level (25 max). Aside from this, i've performed some unique feats to distinguish them even more. These new feats are directly tied to the companions character sheet, so it does not affect anyone else in game. Most of the time, the effects are performed editing the hide item. So, for instance, Carth now has a +2 attack bonus against dark sided characters, Canderous is immuned to fear, Juhani now has +10 Awareness and is immuned to sneak attacks instead of the force camouflage, Jolee gets an extra force point regeneration... Some other feats are performed editing various scripts. The heartbeat has been edited to provide a "Wookie rage" feat for big Z. When he falls below 25% vp, he is now immuned to fear and get attack bonus, strength bonus, while it depletes its defense, reflex and will. Having unique class and feats for each companion allows now to have specific item for each of them. So, for instance, the flight armor suits from K2 will hopefully be restricted to Carth! Some new implants will be restricted to Canderous! And so so much more... I'm linking some screenshots down below for a very small showcase, tho i'd like to separate this topic's displays into separate pieces. Everything is subject to change of course! New appearances include A LOT of K2's assets. So you can see some heavy sith soldiers (i've recently done the female variant thanks to your assets), sith honor guards for the Leviathan bridge, the (controversial!) death troopers, new child chromas/clothes, A LOT of commoner clothes variants that you can find here on deadlystream, some variants for jedi outfits (and one general robe retexture from Insidious mod), gamorrean variants (but they need to be edited), gran reskin that i released aswell, some twilek chromas, some rescaled creatures like the kinrath hive and the ritual beast terantatek, protocol droid variants, war droid variants (to dinstinguish MK1, 2, 3...) ... Anyway. This is but a taste of what's to come! At the moment only AI, but i definitely wish to hire some voice actors! I am writing the dialogs on the top of my head while im working on it, which does not make the process very easy to work with people. I tried to contact the mod uploader but i didnt have answer yet. But yep of course, if something reach the quality bar to be introduced into some mod, i'm very opened to sharing the ressources. So i've shared a bit about the appearances, i'll be sharing about the items in due time. I'd like this topic to be structured and ordered. Once i'll be ready to share more about it, i'll do it So this is not a secret at all, if anyone get inspired by the ideas its ok for me. Taris Back Alley: As you may know, there is an elevator access in lower city apartments. In vanilla, it leads nowhere and K1R used this to access the Swoop platform. I figured this elevator would be a good access to a module about Black Market, drug dealing and illegal street/free fights. To access this module, you'd need a proper "password" of some sort. There'd definitely be a Chandrafan linked to this in the cantina. This would act as an inverted mirror of the upper town, especially regarding the non lethal fights from the upper city cantina. A module filled with aliens that dislike humans, where you'd be able to get some spice (from the vulkar spice lab!), some exclusive shop with poison weapons, disruptors or other illegal stuff, and you could also participate into street fighting. Each fight would have its specific rules (so, maybe you're fighting bare knuckle, another time you face 2 or 3 opponents...) and one of the idea would be that the people watching the fight could randomly throw items such as weapons in the middle to spice things up. You could start a quest about smuggling (much like the quest in TSL on Telos) and one idea i had was to make use of the sith fighters near the sith base, the shady guy could have some kind of sith contact that could get past the sith blockade, so you'd need to put a package into one of the sith fighters. The idea is to make use of unused areas, create new stories and interactions, new content and make the lower city way more believable as a place. Black Vulkar Spice Lab: Here my aim would be very much like K1R, restore this portion to extend the vulkar base. Nothing more, nothing less. I'd like to revise the model from the spice room to make it feel like a proper drug lab! One thing i thought about is maybe depending on what you do here, it has an impact on drug dealing once you reach other planets such as Tatooine. Jedi Enclave Sublevel: The jedi enclave on Dantooine feels ultra small and claustrophobic. This is supposed to be an academy, yet the area lacks life and space. There is no padawan, you don't even see the republic... Having a republic ambassy can lead to pretty nice interactions. One major thing i'd like to do with my mod, is to have a kind of raising stake toward the end of the game, where your choices impact the star forge section (just like in Mass Effect or DAO). So some concepts would be maybe to turn some material to the republic (grenades, weapons, medpacks... Just like in DAO), to the jedis (sith or jedi artifacts?), have a proper plot regarding the kolto on manaan (very much like brents envisaged it), the library could provide informations about the kinrath and kath hounds (a new way to introduce informations to players, as i'll be revising how they work and their behaviours), there could be Juhani's master in the medical area aswell, the oil bath could serve as a fix for the permanent effects bug (while also providing a small temporary buff to reflex maybe), i'd love to bring M4-78 as a playabe planet aswell, and the galaxy map in the sublevel could be a good place for this... Just like obi wan with kamino, some planet that should be there but that is not in any archive. The overall idea is to make Dantooine more believable as a place, and have more impact on the player once this planet is completely lost. One thing i envisaged was to have a character fleeing to Manaan, and maybe you could witness Dantooine's destruction as a flashback by playing it. Once again, mostly concepts but nothing concrete done. Kashyyk's shadowland cut module: The wookie society is not really that much defined in K1. Maybe this could be a good "hunting" ground for young wookies, with some K2 beasts. It could also be entirely used for the ritual beast encounter and make it something more memorable. Maybe there could be a crystal somewhere? Here i do not have very precise ideas in mind. Dantooine crystal cave: Firstly, using the extended crystal cave from K2 allow to port the vanilla crystal cave from K1 to korriban. As i want to revise crystals aswell, it makes a new place to loot them while still retaining some kind of variety. The mandalorians on the planet could also dig this place to smuggle some crystals? Who knows! Having a crystal cave on Korriban would also allow to have some laigreks in there, to act as a mirror to Dantooine's crystal cave, with some fire dealing creatures! Tatooine's cut temple: Here i'd love to have more lore about the builders and stuff. Why not having a section with some crystals aswell? Not very precise ideas there aswell, but the star map would definitely be in there. Ye i getya. The line can be crossed easily when adding new content and interactions. Once again, it's only my take on all of this, i cannot make a separate install for every interaction, new appearance and so on if i want to finish this project before the next century. But ye, if someone wants to dissect this mod, they are free to do it once again. It'll definitely be easier to cut the mod once it'll be done, than cutting everything into very small parts from the start. If you want to use my bardroid model, texture, voicelines, dialogs and git edition for cameras, you can I didnt know about this, but atm gonna be honest i have so much to do already on Taris that its not in my plan at all. So i'd say "maybe"? But clearly not working on something like this at the moment Thanks for the kind words! I hope i properly answered your questions/concerns

Fixed it. If anyone else has the problem, make sure to set the game's language to English in Steam.

If you need a clearer example why Snigaroo needs a better voice actor to redo one line, you really ought to hear how bad the line actually is. It's a doozy. And yes, this is an actual vanilla sound file and not added by TSLRCM. 506si_sold1001.wav

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.

Cool idea! Would like to incorporate it with a planned mod of mine.

I 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.

I am so glad this mod got released, despite the usual skepticism of some people in this community.

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".

If this is what I think it is, a lot of us had this problem. This may be the solution, copied from one of the comments in the download page: At this point since you installed a lot of the mod partially, re-doing it at this point would probably just be a bad idea since even if this fix works, it would be best to probably reinstall the game and start from scratch. 1. Find the changes.ini from the tslpatchdata folder 2. Open it with a notepad or some other text editor. 3. Go to "Edit", then "Replace All" and Replace / marks with \ marks and then change marks \ to / only in the date and the N/A line. For everyone having problems with installing it with TSL Patcher, just do this and you should be set.

Glad to hear, there will probably be some unintended side effects from doing that but I am not sure on the specifics right now. As far as I am aware there is no real issue with the GitHub version, but I haven't really worked on or looked at the project in a couple of months now. I have been busy with another project for the last month or so. This project is still looking for collaborators and or a dedicated team to make sure it is the best it can truly be, I can only do so much alone and I most certainly cannot give it all the love and attention it deserves solo anymore, getting it all this far has taken a lot of work.

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.

Hello there! Sleheyron Story mode is out on here and on NexusMods. You can already play it if you install it manually. About compatibility : Placeables are indeed an issue. However, for Sao's Sleheyron Story mode, it is actually a relatively small one, as it doesn't add half of what was added by BOSSR. Which means it could theoretically even be completely compatible with K1R. At any rate, this shouldn't cause any incompatibility with neither K1CP nor RC-K1CP. However, the main issue is patching existing modules, 2da files, dialog.tlk and global.jrl. Idk how much you know about KOTOR modding, but these files are very annoying : either you replace them, or you patch them (meaning adding new files and modifying others for modules, and adding/modifying rows in the tlk/jrl/2da, all of that inside the said files) with TSLPatcher or HoloPatcher (more modern and efficient so this mod will use the second one). Setting up the Patcher thus takes some time, which is why he said some additional work will be needed in the future. FYI, I am currently working on setting up Holopatcher to help players install the mod. This does not mean that I'll fix every compatibility issue right now, but that you'll be able to install the mod with the Patcher, for Sleheyron Story mode 1.1. As it is already out, we might make Holopatcher patch everything. I'll see with Sao about it. Anyway, more compatibility will be added in the relatively near future.

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.

Hi there! I am trying to create new rooms in K1 jedi enclave. I reached Thor110 about this, as he has done it before, and he had really good insights about this. However there is something going wrong in the finalizing steps for this. So here is how i am trying to do it, with detailed screenshots: - First I create my new room model with unique names for every parts/objects... (here, I mirrored a room, in this case i mirrored m13aa_06a). - Then i extract every model files, layout, .vis and walkmeshes into a single folder. - Then i check in blender the correct coordinates for my new room in the layout, i edit my new room walkmesh to be perfectly aligned with the adjacent room (in this case, m13aa_01a). To do this i select the vertices from my new room m13aa_07a, then i select the vertices i want it to be aligned with from m13aa_01a, and i make the vertices from m13aa_07a jump into the exact position from the adjacent m13aa_01a ones. - Then i add the new room to the .lyt and the .vis using Notepad++. - Then i open Gmax/Kotormax to check the edges from the walkmeshes where my 2 rooms meet each other. - Then i convert my 2 model files (m13aa_01a, and my new room m13aa_07a) into ascii using mdledit, with the walkmeshes/lyt/vis files in the same folder to edit the roomlinks with notepad++. - Then i convert the 2 model files back into binary. - Finally i drop all the needed files into override (.lyt, .vis, the new model and .wok files). And after all of this is done, it should work, but it does not. I also edited the .are rooms to add my new one, but it does not work either. To make sure my room links were accurately taken into account, i converted back my edited models into ascii, and i noticed the edited model from the preexisting room in the game did not take into account my new roomlinks that i added using notepad++, everytime i convert it back to binary my new roomlink disappear, so there is something wrong here i guess. Ty for any help, it'd be appreciated.

I assume this is what you're talking about? https://deadlystream.com/topic/5632-black-line-in-middle-of-face/ You could try the Humus GLOverride linked in that thread. Alternatively, you could try a wrapper for DirectX 12 or Vulkan (the Zink archive) - https://github.com/mmozeiko/build-mesa/releases/latest

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  

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?

I am cautiously optimistic about this. I am always looking forward to playing mods that add large amounts of custom content like this, if only just due to the sheer scarcity of them. Please just keep doing whatever you're doing. I don't know if this will be bad or great or in between, but the screenshots at least tell me you've put quite a good chunk of your time into it. That alone is at least pretty promising. Best of luck with this, thanks for the extra screenshots.

I have no reason to do that. You often make constructive and good remarks. I like being able to read your advices, such as DarthParametric's. But this is just bad.

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 ?

View File Droid models animation fix Description: As i am working on porting some assets from the second game to the first one, i have noticed numerous things with the droid models from both games: - In K2 TSL, some droids didnt have any animations when you were hitting them in melee with swords. That's why they are completely frozen, this is specifically obvious when you are playing the Peragus sections with the mining droids. - In both games, some animations were only used once, where it should be use twice to happend everytime. This is the case with the War droid from K1 for instance, that would freeze 50% of the time when hit in melee with a sword. - In K1, T3-M4 does not have any animation for melee, but in K2 he does. - In K2 TSL, the beta model for the large mining droids was very broken, with animations not having the proper name and some missing animations aswell. - In K2 TSL, some models didnt have the footstep sounds while performing the dodge animation. I did my best to fix all of this, re-using and tweaking some animations where it was needed. Use this mod, either to fix the animations you need, or as a modder's ressource to introduce the droids as you see fit. Detailed content: K1 ONLY * T3 has a melee animation. BOTH GAMES * The War Droid is animated everytime you successfully hit it in melee. * The construction boss droid is now animated when you both miss and hit it in melee. It now has footsteps sounds when dodging. * The small and large vanilla mining droids from Peragus are animated when you both hit and miss them in melee. The hit animation from the small mining droid is brand new, adapted from the head turn left. * The small and large beta mining droids that are not used anywhere in the game to my knowledge are animated when you both hit and miss them in melee. The large droid now is animated correctly when outside of combat. He will now be animated 100% of the time when he fights in melee. The melee animation from the large droid has been tweaked to be more impactful and impressive. The large droid now has footstep sounds when dodging. * The tank droid will now be animated when both hitting and missing him in melee. The soundstep has been slightly adjusted when it dodges. Disclaimer : It seems there is a problem with the large cut droid shadows (reported by N-DreW25). I'll see about fixing this. The little fix for the War Droid from K1 has been performed on the model from the K1 community patch. The base model i used is not my work, and i simply added the missing row when hit in melee. Do not re-use this asset for your own work without giving proper credit to the K1CP team. Also i have converted my work from K1 to K2 instead of the opposite, so if there's anything wrong with K2 droids tell me. With the few playtests i did everything seemed fine tho. Installation : Drop the desired .mdl and .mdx files to override and you're ready to go. Credit: K1CP team for the base war droid model fixes. Permissions: Feel free to use my work, just a simple credit. Do not use the war droid asset for your own work without giving proper credit to the K1CP team.

So you want them as random loot? Given the specified level range, this is presumably for TSL. Its vanilla random loot table script can't be decompiled via DeNCS, but @JCarter426 has been beavering away at an alternative for years. I'm not exactly sure what your options are for either including it as an addon for that or trying to integrate it into the vanilla system.

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.

@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.

Since I believe that nobody has yet reported whether or not BOS:SR is compatible with K1R, I decided to play through BOS to test compatibility. This test run was done on the 4 CD version of the game, on a Windows 8.1 computer. I have encountered issues before with this computer's graphics card, but I believe that I have sorted out the graphics card-based issues with those caused by other things. As far as mods, K1R version 1.0 got installed first, followed by BOS:SR and the v.1.1 patch. I also installed the following mods in my game (not sure about the order, sorry): -Extreme Conditions Combat Robes: http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/405-extreme-conditions-combat-robes/ -Duel Room Final: http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/559-duel-room-final/ -Proper Manaan Quest Endings: http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/557-proper-manaan-quest-endings/ -Lightsaber and Force Forms (originally v. 1.0, but v. 1.1 later installed over it -- I think): http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/520-lightsaber-and-force-forms/ -Tomb of Exar Kun (uninstalled before the actual playthrough, but I keep it here in case there could somehow be some effect): http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/587-tomb-of-exar-kun-by-deathdisco/ -K1 FP Pack by Insidious (can't find a link, sorry) So then, the burning question: are the two mods compatible? Well... There are no gameplay issues or bugs that were not present before -- only problem I encountered was the game crashing when a bunch of Brothers of Shadow exploded into existence , but on a second attempt, that was not an issue. The mod can be fully played through. However, there are a number of graphics issues that can be annoying and, in one case, make things quite frustrating for new players of the mod. These mostly came in the form of appearances being changed, as in one character (usually a character) appearing as a different one. However, since the other appearances seem to all be from BOS:SR, I'm not sure whether the problem was with K1R, another mod (if this is the case, it's probably the duel room), or simply a faulty installation of BOS:SR. I've included a full list of the appearance bugs below under spoiler tags; if you haven't played before and don't want spoilers, than don't look under them. The first spoiler tag contains the one bug that might hamper new players' gameplay, use that one if you're stuck, and it may have the answer. No matter whether these graphics bugs were caused by K1R or some other factor, BOS:SR can definitely be played through with K1R installed, and does not seem to cause any issues with K1R either. Disclaimer: I played through this mod rather hurriedly, so it is possible that I may have missed something.
