Made some changes after doing some additional testing on the mod. Lashowe, Mekel, Shaardan, and Jorak Uln will now keep their original unique heads and will merely get upscaled textures. Some additional errors with texture-assignments for models were corrected so it should be ready soon.

If anybody's interested, looking for someone to go through the Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's Revenge for K1's dialogue and make grammar and spelling corrections. Nothing that really alters the dialogue itself beyond the aforementioned fixes. Thank you kindly.

A few days ago, I decided to start turning the Coruscant cutscene level into a functional landing pad for Coruscant. It has taken quite a lot of work but I have got the model itself to an acceptable state, at least, as it appears in Blender, however I haven't got it in-game yet because there are some issues with geometry and the walkmeshes moving when exported from Blender. The focus of this project has been to improve my skills with Blender, but I would also like to finish this and get it in-game to replace the Nar Shaddaa reskin from the Coruscant mod. But, it might end up being an overhaul for the Coruscant mod, only time will tell. For reference, here is a screenshot of the original level. And this is how it looks now. So far I have put around 15-20 hours into this and I think it looks good, I need to add some more buildings and do some work with the surrounding area, but it's coming along nicely. I have re-used the hallway from the council chambers to create this cross section corridor and the elevator from Peragus to be used to access different parts of Coruscant. It took quite a while to get these corners made and looking right, as well as the floor and ceiling textures. While it's not perfect, it was the best I could manage with the geometry and textures available to me. I also noticed that on the Nar Shaddaa landing pad and these landing pads, they are missing the safety barriers, which I think is fine for Nar Shaddaa, but not for Coruscant. As seen here, there were no barriers at three of the edges of the landing pad, but I added them in. The Ebon Hawk is now fixed, not sure what happened to the texture previously, I have also included the changes made by WildKarrde which gives the Ebon Hawk transparent windows. And that's everything so far, I am not entirely sure if I will finish this, but if I don't I will release the .blend file as a modders resource. Though I am hoping to fix the current issues and get it in-game! Thor110

This will hopefully be the first of a few mods which I will be developing to enhance the atmosphere, visuals, and overall experience of Korriban. There are already some great mods out there which improve or upscale the appearance of commoners and others throughout the game but one section of the game and its characters always stood out to me as rather "unpolished": the Sith on Korriban. Out of all the planets, I always felt that Korriban was one of the most neglected in both K1 and K2 when it came to visuals in particular. There were even multiple mods which improved the appearance of Czerka employees, including those on Korriban, so it only felt appearance to do the same for the Sith students, teachers, and masters. This mod will port the robes from the Trayus Sith Academy on Malachor V on K2 and many of the Sith will be wearing them according to rank: students will wear "low" robes, teachers (including Yuthura) will wear "mid," and Master Uthar will wear the "high" or "Dark Jedi Master" robe as shown. All of the "Lite" Sith NPCs will also be upscaled and given the same heads as they are given in K1CP which I would highly encourage players to install before installing this mod but it won't be a requirement; similarly all of the Lite NPCs who are switched to "female" based on their file names in K1CP will be given the same treatment here but with the clothing overhaul as mentioned above. There will be two main options for installation: "Clothes Only" which will only change the NPCs' clothes but have them all keep their vanilla heads, and "Clothes & Heads" which will give unique heads (many of which will be ported player or minor character heads from K2) to all of the NPCs whom the player more directly interacts or converses with. Sith who will be out studying or excavating in the Valley will be wearing the "Dark Jedi Padawan" robes which use the player robe model from K2. Most of the textures used will be from a combination of mods by @Effix, @Dark Hope, and @90SKand I would like to thank them for their willingness to allow me to utilize their mods for this project. I should hopefully be able to finally get the project released within a weak or so.

While porting over the missing rooms from the Sith Academy on Korriban and adding the missing room to the Hotel on Manaan, I got carried away looking around Manaan's levels and was overwhelmed by the amount of holes in the level geometry, so I decided to take a crack at fixing some of it up. I'm amazed how many clearly visible holes there are, these level repairs will be included with my port but I will also release them for the original game. If anyone knows of any problems like this, feel free to let me know and I will look into fixing them, it would be nice to see every level in the game get this treatment even if it takes a little while. Manaan - m26ae & m26ac I decided to delete some of the excess walkmesh pieces as it felt like they were unnecessary, however the moment I was done with that, I realised that it's probably used by EAX audio to reverberate sounds off of the walkmesh, I will find out if that is definitely the case and if it is, I can just swap them back out for the originals fairly quickly. Nearly every vertice I have checked so far has been out of line with the one next to it! There's a lot of tinkering and thinking left to do and as this isn't really my area of expertise I don't know how far I will get, but I would like to look over every level and fix every hole if I can find the time and patience to deal with all of the problems. Merging Levels Not sure how feasible this is, but in theory both these parts of Manaan could be made into a single level, as they both match up alongside one another when imported, however the other parts of Manaan do not.

I completely agree, warping across to a new module would be too jarring and could have unforeseen consequences such as unlooted placeables like you mentioned. Short of having variables tied to every item / placeable / creature, I don't think there would be an easy way to do it through warping. Personally I think I will leave this to anyone else that wants to tackle it, it makes the most sense that the cave is blown up which over the next few years causes the tomb to be revealed. That aside though, there is something I have been working on these past few days that might be of use to the mod builds when I am done. Remaking the trophy textures in Davik's room on Taris using the creature textures, I also wrote more details about it in my Texture Analysis tutorial thread. Edit : Just finished the Kataarn, Tukata and Iriaz. The Tukata. And the Iriaz. Finally the Ronto. As for the Dewback, it is at the same resolution as the creature version and the Rancor, well, I can't make heads or tails of the Rancor texture, it appears to be a completely different texture.

KotOR 1 & 2 Texture Analysis So, after noticing this mod I decided to have a look around and see if there are any other textures in the game that got smaller in the second game and I came across a few oddities as well. It seems some actually textures are smaller in the first game and larger in the second game, while some are larger in the first game and smaller in the second. https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1330-kotor-1-texture-to-kotor-2-game-bridge Thanks to @Malkior for making a start on this and discovering some of the textures that got smaller in TSL. The fact that Manaan has a bunch of OLD textures was pointed out by @N-DReW25 Early Access Release This includes all the textures and bump maps I have found so far. I also removed the alpha layer from the Hutt textures which was causing the transparency in Malkior's release. KotOR2 K1-To-K2-Bridge.7z KotOR1 K2-To-K1-Bridge.7z I felt like all of this was worth documenting as it appears I will have to go through and compare every texture in both games. Switch Anomalies As pointed out by @N-DReW25 there are some anomalies with the Switch version of the game worth making note of. Textures To Remake - ( COMPLETE ) What I have discovered so far manually by chance. I get the feeling that going through this will have to be a group effort, there's no way I can compare all of the textures in both games myself, I have automated the majority of the work but the remaining files in "Not-In-Both.7z" need to be compared manually or piped through an AI model if possible. Textures That Have Bump Maps But Don't Use Them It seems these textures actually have bump maps which are not assigned to them in the associated .txi file, I have set up .txi files for them. When I am finished looking through all the textures and comparing everything I will release a mod that updates everything accordingly. Textures Meant For The Original Xbox File Analyses Comparison Results - ( COMPLETE ) This is a complete analysis and comparison of all files in both games swpc_tex_tpa.erf packages. KotOR1 : 3285 Files KotOR2 : 3275 Files It does not however take into account things such as the following. Textures that might exist throughout either game at different resolutions and with different filenames. In order to determine if any textures exist at different resolutions, the following lists of files must be compared manually or piped through an AI if possible. Files From K1 Not In K2 ( 1757 Files ) Files From K2 Not In K1 ( 1780 Files ) Files That Are Identical But Have Different Filenames ( COMPLETE ) - [ Left is K1 - Right is K2 ] - [ K1 : 231 Files] - [K2 : 206 Files ] Identical-Different-Filenames.7z The following lists of files couldn't be converted to TGA with Xoreos Tools, but could be extracted as TGA using KotOR Tool. As far as I can tell all that exists that is of interest amongst these lists is an old incomplete version of "LMA_tech01" Files From K1 That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA And Don't Exist In K2 ( 6 Files ) Files From K2 That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA And Don't Exist In K1 ( 8 Files ) Files That Are Identical In Both Games That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA ( 3 Files ) As for determining if any textures exist in either game at larger resolutions than one another, I think that has to be inspected manually using the same lists, or possibly could be handed off to an AI model. Files That Are NOT Identical But Exist In Both Games - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 145 Files ] Not-Identical-Release.7z These 145 files are some of those that will need inspecting and comparing manually. Files That Are Identical In Both Games - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 1225 Files ] Files Not Included. Files From K1 Not In K2 - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 1757 Files ] "Not-In-Both.7z" at the bottom of the post. Files From K2 Not In K1 - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 1780 Files ] "Not-In-Both.7z" at the bottom of the post. Files From K1 That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA And Don't Exist In K2 - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 6 Files ] K1-Didnt-Convert-Xoreos.7z Files From K2 That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA And Don't Exist In K1 - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 8 Files ] K2-Didnt-Convert-Xoreos.7z Files That Are Identical In Both Games That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 3 Files ] That's everything, now between us all we just need to look through the files that aren't in both games to see if any textures exist at different resolutions like I and others have pointed out that don't use the same filename. NOTE : I accidentally left "M37aa_02_a0004d.tga" in "K1-Not-In-K2" just delete that one file, saves me reuploading 265mbs. I found it as I have "Identical" folders for both games, this is also how I found the Extra TXI files listed below. Not-In-Both.7z K1 has some TXI files K2 does not, as does K2 which are included below. Extra-TXI.7z I believe that covers everything, but let me know if you spot anything I missed! UPDATE : I have been using this information to improve my main project, I just used the lists I generated to automatically remove the tga/txi files from both the main and port projects for Expanded Galaxy and replace them with the original compressed .tpc files, as well as remove any files that already existed in the second games files. This resulted in an overall reduction of 231mb's file size for the overall project split between the main and port. I am also using these lists to track down the textures that exist in the second game but have a different filename than they did in the first game which should reduce the file size even further, but to do that, I first have to update all the references in the model files to use the names of the texture in the second game. ADDITIONAL : While going through the texture files of both games in-depth I have come across some interesting oddities, such as textures that are a larger resolution, textures that have bump maps which aren't used and many bump maps which could be applied to textures in the second game that use re-colours of textures from the first game. Will be releasing a mod that includes these files at some point.

Thanks for the heads up, I expected it to crash in some places which is why I put a warning in place, unfortunately I haven't had the time to get back to testing this as I have been busy with my main project at the moment. But I will take another look at it when I get the chance.

Points 1/2: There are some models available out there for: - Stormtroopers - Stormtrooper weapons - Clone Troopers - Darth Vader - Anakin - Movie Jedi Robes - Movie Bounty Hunters / Mandalorians You could use those for your own personal mod development or seek permission to include them in your mod. Alternatively, create your own models which is obviously a lot harder (which was already suggested). You would also need to do this when creating new areas too, you ‘could’ reuse current models for your levels but wouldn’t advise as it would not look like any of the planets you’re trying to achieve. Points 4/5: In regards to restructuring the story, this part is actually fairly easy (depending on what mechanics you want from your cutscenes, quests etc.), it’s just going to take a lengthy amount of time. It can be achieved initially by removing all quests & global, then removing all trigger points, scripts relating to triggers from each levels .mod/.rim files, you’d also need to remove characters and any placeables you don’t intend to use. If you were to model your own levels, the likelihood is you could leave the existing stuff & just add your own additional content. Please note, all the above resource I mentioned is intended for Kotor 2, I’m assuming you want to mod this game. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message & I’ll assist where I can.

All of it is possible, none of it is probable. Take it from someone that knows: never go full total conversion.

So I typically use duckduckgo for my searching, but it turns out that deadlystream is never in the search results, even when very specifically searching for it. Now, being aware, this isn't a problem for me since I can just use google for any searches relating to DS. But I could imagine that some people less familiar with the site and using these search engines (such as if using MS Edge where Bing is default) might be confused. But more interestingly, any idea on what causes this?

Speaking of this landing pad... I spent today working on this little beauty, my plan is to delete the landing pads from 950COR, that way they don't feel too familiar and aren't seen in the background of the level. I've also deleted the council chambers from this version of the level, that way an elevator can be taken down and another elevator can be taken to the council chambers, just as in the existing mod. Quite proud of this, but I have yet to see how it actually fares in-game, the walkmeshes need some adjusting and I need to finish the cross join hallway in the middle of the building to add two elevators, or possibly a room, I am not sure yet. There's still a lot of work to do, but this took me the best part of a day to put together. This shows the landing pad without, for some reason it only had safety rails on 2 of the 5 gaps in perimeter, so I added them to all 5 on both sides of the level. Nar Shaddaa has these gaps too, but I think it's fine for a run-down old landing pad on Nar Shaddaa, not some fancy fresh landing pad on Coruscant. And a preview of the hallway from the inside. I might attempt to make a landing/take-off animation myself, though I have no idea how it will turn out or if I will even get that far yet, the surrounding area needs decorating somewhat still I think.

I have a better idea as I have been working on a port of K1 to K2 for quite some time now, I will release it here when it's actually ready. Play my port of KotOR1 to KotOR2 https://github.com/Thor110/Expanded-Galaxy-Port Though I will say, it isn't finished yet and is FAR from perfect, still quite buggy.

Anything with the MG prefix is "minigame", i.e. either turret or swoop (the former in this case). Stunt is a layout only used for cutscene versions of the Hawk. You should refer to the list below for the module names (i.e. m12aa.lyt is the one you want) :

Work on my Dark Jedi/Sith Academy mod is starting up, but in order for me to start that mod properly I need to finish up the first release of my K1 Alien Pack mod. The Ithorians are ready, the Bith are 90% ready, and the Duros are 50% ready... these are the three species that will be in the first release of the pack. I've already showed off the Ithorians, now it's time to show off the Bith. The goal of the pack is to ensure every species has 5 alien variants, this will be easy for Aqualish and Rodians as they only have 4 variants meaning only one texture needs to be made for those species... this isn't true for the Bith as they only have 1 variant. The vanilla black Bith will only appear as Cantina Musicians whilst the Bith you'll encounter in-game will use my new appearances. Whilst I did make the reskins you'll see, I also photo sourced assets from BithBiter's TSL Party Project 1.01 (as the mod page says the mod's assets can be used with credit given), and assets from the Revenge of Revan mod by RedRob41 (used with permission). For the Bith appearances, I used Wookieepedia to determine that Bith skin color can be yellow, green, pale pink, and red... so those are the colors I used in these appearances. Whilst I think the new appearances are "alright", I personally feel some of the skin colors don't "fit" with the scenes they're currently in... which is why I would like your opinion on whether or not I should switch certain Bith appearances around. Green Bith: This one was especially jarring to see when I first saw it in-game in this scene. Red Bith: His skin and his outfit are so dark, so much so that he's almost camouflaging into the dark environment around him. Pale Pink Bith: I rather like this appearance, I could change the color palette of his clothing if this is desired. Pale Yellow Bith: Dare I say this Bith is without flaw. So... what do we think of these new Biths?

A good part of doing anything significant in the game - like your recruitment/companion mod example - requires scripting. That's not something you can really make a video about.

View File Academy Attire: K2 Sith Pack for K1 Korriban Academy Author: EAF97 Description: Most of the Sith students, teachers, and workers at the Sith academy on Korriban in K1 will now wear Dark Jedi robes according to rank and ported in from K2 that are worn by the Dark Jedi at Trayus Sith Academy on Malachor V in K2. Visually-speaking, this mod is meant to make the same appearance enhancement for Korriban Sith that JCarter426's "Cloaked Jedi Robes for K1" makes to Jedi robes with ported K2 models and could also be installed over JC's "Back in Black" which edits the NPCs' equipment (and which this mod itself doesn't do). -There will be two main options for installation: Version 1 installs both the clothing overhaul and gives unique heads to several of the NPCs who have direct conversations with the players such as Kel Algwinn and Dak Vesser, while Version 2 only overhauls the clothing. -Lashowe, Mekel, Shaardan, and other students will wear “low” robes -Yuthura and other teachers will wear “mid” robes -Masters (just Uthar) will wear “high” robes. -Students and teachers who are out working in the valley will wear darker variants of Dark Jedi Padawan and Master robes, respectively, with the ported player and companion robe models from K2 -Those who are dueling or practicing combat skills will wear “training” outfits (K1-style “tunics”) from Unused K1 Tunics for TSL -Captives will wear “prisoner” outfits -Workers (Tariga, Adrenas) will wear a darker variant of Onderon commoner clothing from Effixian's Zeison Sha/Jal Shey to Onderon Clothing -All of the “Lite” NPCs will be upgraded based on the new heads and gender given to them in K1CP but will have the new clothing. -A compatibility patch for K1CP will be available for both versions to give Tariga (the Huttese-speaking human NPC who gives directions to the Valley) a female appearance. -There will be an optional add-on to install the female variant of the Trayus-style Dark Jedi “Master” robes for Yuthura which I decided to include since nobody else wears it. -Sith guards, troopers, soldiers, and archaeologists will NOT be affected. I would **strongly** recommend installing K1CP **before** this mod in order to get a full overhaul of NPCs in the area but it isn’t necessary in order for the mod to work and the base installation will assume that K1CP isn’t installed -Equipment of NPCs will NOT be edited, this is purely a **visual** overhaul but is compatible with any mod that edits the NPCs’ equipment such as “Back in Black” by JCarter426 -Aside from any Sith students or teachers who are encountered in Dreshdae, the "Prospective" Sith students as well as Czerka employees and other civilians in the area will NOT be affected. I would recommend some of the other NPC overhaul mods listed below for enhancing those characters. For the most part, this mod mainly aims to change the Sith students, teachers, and staff at the Academy itself -Any Sith or Dark Jedi outside of Korriban will NOT be affected and there are multiple mods (listed below) which sufficiently enhance them and which I would recommend to be installed along with this mod. Installation: Just run the TSLPatcher the direct it to your game file. If you plan on using this mod alongside K1CP, I'd recommend installing K1CP **first** if you haven't already. Install either Version 1 (Clothes & Heads) OR Version 2 (Clothes Only) and then install either version of the Tariga patch for K1CP based on whichever version of the base installation was chosen (basically gives Tariga a female appearance in line with K1CP's changes that also adds the changes made to other NPCs in the main mod). To Uninstall: Remove the files from your Override folder and add the backup .2da file to it Credit: Special thanks to Effix, 90SK, Dark Hope, Laast, and ShiningRedHD for allowing me to use some of their models and textures, to N-DReW25 for advice given on the mod, and to JCarter426 whose work with porting Jedi robes from K2 inspired this mod Recommended Mods to accompany this one: "Kotor 1 Community Patch" by A Future Pilot: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1258-kotor-1-community-patch/ The following mods by JCarter426: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1378-jcs-fashion-line-i-cloaked-jedi-robes-for-k1/ https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2309-jcs-czerka-business-attire-for-k1/ "Dark Jedi Wear Robes (for JC's Cloaked Jedi Robes Mod)" by DarthParametric: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1411-dark-jedi-wear-robes-for-jcs-cloaked-jedi-robes-mod/ The following mods by N-DReW25: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2469-czerka-redux/ https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2310-k1-clothing-pack/ https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1109-sith-stalkers-k1/ The following mods by Dark Hope: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2316-sithcom-dh/ https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2164-darth-bandon-hd/ https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2042-sith-soldier-hd/ https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2188-war-droid-mark-i-hd/ "K1 Better Male Twilek Heads" by Ashton Scorpius https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1430-k1-better-male-twilek-heads/ The following mods by Leiluken: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2228-kotor-1-twilek-male-npc-diversity/ https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2179-kotor-1-twilek-female-npc-diversity/ Compatibility: If you're using any mods that change the appearance of NPCs in the Academy or on Korriban generally such as K1CP, I would recommend installing them BEFORE installing this mod. If you're using Leilukin's "Belaya's Unique Look" for example, install this mod AFTER it; it uses the same unique head for the character that Leilukin's mod uses and sources it from SpaceAlex's "K1 Enhancement Pack" modder's resource but also gives Belaya the same clothing overhaul as the others at the Academy if she appears. This mod should also be compatible with JCarter426's "Back in Black" mod (and I would even recommend using it alongside mine but it isn't necessary in order for my mod to work), but should be installed AFTER JC's mod so that the appearance overhaul in this mod won't be overwritten. Compatible with both K1CP **and** K1R but I would **strongly** encourage using it alongside K1CP.

For those interested in this modification, I recommend to use the newly uploaded version (1.1) that fixes a critical bug.

Well, I definitely wouldn't like to see Vitiate. I was thinking that it would be visions which were confused and inconsistent, such that you wouldn't even understand what you were seeing without the context of K2. In other words, it wouldn't be obvious that the tomb was even supposed to be showing you your past, present and future--it would seem like it was only showing strange relevatory visions, at least to those without knowledge that you are Revan. A battle scene from the Mandalorian Wars, a dialogue between a phantom figure and Malak, two mirror NPCs using your face, one LS and one DS, arguing wordlessly with one another; vague visions which don't mean anything on their own, but which imply something isn't quite right. Reiterating, though, that this is still a thought experiment. If somebody made this I'd test it, but I still think Kressh's tomb is best-served as a K2 exclusive.

I can't recall how extensive the bad grammar goes given how long it's been since I've played through it last, but I do know there's more than enough terrible "Engrish" that should be corrected.

It’s all good, you’ve done the lords work and I am happy I get to play kotor with controllers like I did on the original xbox when I was 9 or 10. The buttom prompt stuff isn’t super necessary in my opinion, the only real issue I can see is the bugs you pointed out on future planets, and the UI issue for controllers. I have close to 0 skill with any of this but I can try and learn and help where I can. Also, even though the devs who made space marine 2 are working on “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic”, this is, for me, is recapturing my childhood magic. I always hated playing the kotor games on m/k, it never felt right to me. i’ve purchased kotor 1 and kotor 2 on ios and android, bought them on xbox, bought the physical disks & bought them on steam for $0.99 each, and the mobile ones were the best versions for me because both ios and android have mod “support” (every mod like tslrcm/kse) fun fact for anyone who stumbles across this, you have to use itunes to move files into the directory for either game and virtually every mod that works on the pc version also works on IOS. And if it works for ios, it works for android

Even TSL says left click with controller support, but I think that it can be added in, it would just have to be a completely different dialog.tlk file. I am trying to keep things as vanilla as possible while also expanding and enhancing the game, so that's a no from me, but you can always mod it in yourself, people are free to release mods for my mod too. Yeah, there are still a number of issues for me to fix, as I mentioned don't expect perfection just yet! But I would say it's 99% complete. Changing all of the UI was difficult enough and required hexediting the executable to get a number of specific things to change colour. It's also possible to swap between playing K1 & K2 under the same installation, which I felt was necessary. The selection screen does have a flickering highlight and new items have a green/yellow border. I had to overcome a lot of obstacles to get it this far, there are quite a few cutscenes that need fixing up, the first level needs reworking to include the special messages for each class and fixing the cutscenes, on Taris, the cutscene with the Hidden Beks is broken, the Rancor is broken, Malak walks off after being defeated during the ending. Oh, the current release has a broken version of the Naga Sadows tomb level, but it is fixed in the repository. Feel free to post any issues you encounter in the WIP thread for the project or on my Discord server. Hopefully with a few more years I can make it perfect! But there's still a lot left to be desired. EDIT : Unfortunately the tokens for the buttons don't work like they do on console, but it could be manually written in. ( "<abutton>" etc ) When I get around to programming a proper launcher, I could potentially add a tickbox that swaps between dialog lines specific to using or not using a controller, but that's a long way off. There's a lot of things that are more important left for me to work on unfortunately, but I would like to get around to doing everything eventually.

True! But that is a totally different breed of mod! Looks so damn good too!!!!!!!

Yeah, I didn't do anything with the lightmaps. Someone was going to take a look at them for me but they haven't got around to it, it might be possible for me to paste parts of the lightmaps from the K1 levels, but figuring out which tiny blotch of pixels to copy across would take a while.

Well, for my own purpose (installing of the mod manually) I was very grateful for the presence of the m35aa.git changes in the .ini file. Would you mind terribly telling me how Holopatcher can do the associations without . ini instructions? Thanks! EDIT: Oh and one more question: is it just my impression or the added rooms have a bit of a darker atmosphere? I'm mostly talking about illumination. When moving into those rooms I literally see a little less well. I added a couple of pictures to illustrate. The situation is particularly evident in two of them. Notice how there is a clear and abrupt passage from practically no illumination and light on surface under the archway in the second picture on the path into the last room (the blue arrow indicates it).

Per a comment from JC back in 2022: KOTOR 1 goes up to 72 and KOTOR 2 goes up to 109 I think the free/unused ones in K1 start in the 50s. You'd have to check the vanilla scripts to see what they use. Also note that various mods also make use of them which could lead to compatibility issues. Which reminds me, I should probably revert a few of those cases in K1CP and use the standard plot booleans instead.

View File Revamped FX Revamped FX MOD AUTHOR: Olegkuz1997 FOR WHICH GAMES: For Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1-2 Description: It's a fairly simple pak retexture of some of the game's (most notable) visuals. Some of them just don't look good, and some of them look downright awkward, which of course is forgiven for the game's seniority. I did it for myself, but who if anyone needs it, take it. My personal goal was to update the quality of the effects without slipping into tastelessness and to keep them generally true to Bioware beautiful art design. The insides of the mod: 1. Sparks displayed during every combat action in the game look a more colorful (honeyed) and leave a small tracer as opposed to the pale yellow vanilla ones. 2. Lightning, Force Drain, etc. look a bit brighter, but generally with the same shape of the curves and colors (blue for Shock, purplish blue for Storm). Death Field color have been slighly corrected, and the shades are generally more compatible with each other. Also increased resolution of discharges on bodies. 3. Grenade blast marks look similar to the original ones, but with improved resolution and transparency. 4. Smoke became blacker and thicker. 5. Explosions became more decent, but this is just AI upscaling, not new textures. Maybe it's because I almost never use plasma grenades. Also replaced the texture of the droid fire gimmicks. Not perfect, heh, but at least it's not out of place. 6. The texture of the burning bodies became more sympotic thanks to transparency and less like a ridiculous orange shield. 7. The effects of the “fire sword” (Master Power Attack etc) are less intrusive, but the original idea and visual distinction are preserved. 8. Also various little things like blaster bolts, campfire, ice, carbonite etc. Note: ---------------- In the “Optional” folder there are alternative texture options, namely: Spell outline without small lightning bolts in a circle, visually cleaner (fx_conjure). Less intense fire blast texture. Matter of taste. I've been told it's less irritating to the eyes. Textures of the starry sky and nebulas. Not exactly FX but because why not. That gets rid of the “checkerboard” arrangement of stars and has a deeper black tone. Opengl32.dll - shader that increases the effect of bloom. Throw it into swkotor folder. All the above screenshots were made using it. Installation: ---------------- Drop tga and tpc files in your game’s Override folder. To uninstall: ---------------- Take them out again.

Hello and thank you. The texture of the grenade explosion -- fx_chunks.

This looks great, will bring a lot of life to Korriban, as you say! Looking forward to it 😁

That's the plan. I was originally going to release this as a single NPC Overhaul a few years ago but decided to break it up into multiple mods for the sake of time.

This is a massive improvement over vanilla. I hope you will do NPCs for the rest of the game like Sunry, Elora, Sandrals etc. The clone effect has got to go!

The problem with those is that for Carth the warning about the Katarn was never intended for Kashyyyk. Kotor 1 had an E3 Demo much like Kotor 2, and just like how the Kotor 2 Demo contained elements that weren't in the final game the K1 Demo had a few oddities. First off, the game's engine wasn't final so the game looked like this, it was set on Dantooine, you could recruit Carth and T3-M4 (who was owned by Bastila), there was a Sith Base on Dantooine (It possibly reused the cut Czerka Depot), the player was a Jedi who wore Nemo Robes (So the player character Jedi you see throughout the vanilla game were the players in the Demo), and Katarns were the primary enemy on Dantooine. The Carth quote about the Katarns goes like this: "CARTH: Is your communicator on? It's Carth. Just wanted to remind you to be careful out there. Don't end up as a meal for one of the katarn." That line exists on TLK number 380, and you'll see that "CARTH" is actually written on that line. The very next line, 381, goes like this: "CARTH: Get back to the base! The Sith have attacked! Just follow the smoke! Hurry!" So... there isn't much to go off of in terms of restoring the Katarn warning because it was never intended for the actual game. And as for the HK-47 lines about the Sand People Messiah, as far as I'm concerned I've never found, or heard of other modders finding, the cut lines which could be used to restore such a scene. We all most likely know about the Sand People Messiah content through former Bioware devs who worked on the game instead of through cut dialogue lines, so again a mod that adds the Sand People Messiah would have to be costume made. As an actual discussion forum, perhaps, but there are still mods being worked on, published, and updated by modders and said mods are still being downloaded by players. So the mod hosting element of Deadlystream is still kicking, and the Discord side of the Deadlystream community is thriving, if you think this site is dead that's where everyone went.

Copying the outline of Stoney's old list of content outlined in his "What's Restored In TSLRCM" thread on DeadlyStream: [R] - Restored [PR] - Partially Restored [RM] - Restored but Moved to another area [NR] - Not Restored [O] - Optimized (As-in, not really a restoration, but an alteration to make sense or keep with the game's text...)

There aren't many mods available which heavily enhance the head appearance for Lashowe, Mekel, Shaardan, or Jorak Uln's heads so these are just "stand-ins" for now. I'm also not giving unique heads to **all** of the NPCs, only to the ones with which there's a cutscene or more direct conversation like Dak Vesser or Kel Algwinn This was courtesy of Effix. I was having issues porting that head both through MDLEdit as well as through Kotor Blender. In most cases if I had issues porting a head, I simply switched it out for something else. It was a matter of trial and error. Correct, giving players more options has been the idea. My main goal has been to give ported K2-style Robes and appearances to the Sith on Korriban similar to how JC's "Fashion Line" mods did for the Jedis' robes, which was indirectly an inspiration for this. As a side-note, JC's Back in Black actually shouldn't be incompatible since it mainly edits the NPCs' equipment and mine is mainly aesthetic (correct me if I'm wrong). The unique heads were a separate idea that I decided to combine with this. As for the "ranked" robes, people here are actually dressed somewhat according to rank based on if they're students, teachers, or masters. Understood. Just edited it.

Well that is supposedly happening, although I suspect that whatever eventuates is likely going to be KOTOR in name only. As far as the mod community remaking levels goes, there's not much point while still bound to Odyssey's limitations. If reone ever gets to a usable point, or if nVidia add OpenGL support to Remix, then that would be a viable option.

Would anyone be willing to port over Jolee's default outfit from K1 and have it replace the K2 Jolee Robes you can find? This design change plus removing the neutral alignment restriction would factor into a fun build I want to try in a consular playthrough.

Agreed! I was hoping between us all we could do exactly that. Thank you, I am aware and have their model fixes included with my project. I still have a few little issues to fix and some UV issues to sort out, there's an absolute mess around every vertice on Manaan it seems, they all seem ever so slightly out of line with on another! I have also taken the liberty of deleting faces that exist in places where they are not visible. Such as on all of these types of pillars. I am also working on adding ceilings to each of the hallway sections like this. Because previously there was a noticeable gap up the sides of all the hallways where the sky was visible. As seen in the following images. These exist in every hallway throughout Manaan. I also cleaned up these little kinks in the corners of the sections with these pillars. Removing 7 faces from each section and simply adjusting the existing faces to cover the gap. Note : the holes in the hallways are visible here too. There really is a lot to fix it seems!

I know I've reported a few noticeable issues on Manaan to the K1CP bug tracker a while back and they've since fixed them in the 1.10 update. When you download K1CP, it comes with a list of the things the mod has fixed (alternatively, this same list might also be on one of their public GitHubs). You could use this list to see what they've fixed so that you can fix them in your own mod, I wouldn't want to use your mod and find out it undoes the model fixes of K1CP. The Endar Spire. Even with the K1CP mod installed, which already does fix pre-existing holes, if you look for them you can still find holes. Off by memory, the first module end_m01aa is still ripe with holes in the walls. But I think this model problem is something you'd be interested in. In the hallways of the starboard section (end_m01ab), if you look up at the ceiling you'll see overhead pipes yet in the hallways of the Command Module (end_m01aa), the parts of the ceiling where the overhead pipes should be are empty. And yet there are Beta screenshots of the Command Module halls having overhead pipes as seen here.

Too late, I already done it though I haven't merged the level contents yet, but I have a version of the level where I can walk between all of the rooms from both levels. But I will release the model fixes as a stand alone when I am done with them. I am also looking to fix any other models with holes in them throughout both games, so if you know of any, feel free to point them out.

It's entirely possible. The level geometry side of things is the least of it though. The main thing would be ensuring there are no problems arising from changing module IDs, since Manaan has multiple instances of cross-module teleporting as part of the main plot. There might also be problems with ResRef clashes, since both Bioware and Obdisian did love their generic name reuse.

At some point in the future I will have to have a look around. Given that I don't really play KotOR1, it might take me a while to get around to it. I only noticed and fixed this as I was working on the missing rooms modders resource and actually testing it in KotOR1 to make sure it worked for the first game rather than assuming that it did after changing it over from my port in KotOR2.

View File Daviks Trophies NOTE : This is included with the Expanded Galaxy Port already. During the course of my texture analysis of both games I came across these Trophy textures and realised that they were smaller versions of the standard creature textures with some slight alterations, so I decided to recreate them as best as I could using the standard creature textures. Images show comparisons of the models using the new and old textures as well as the original creature and trophy textures side by side. More information on all of this can be found in my texture analysis tutorial thread. https://deadlystream.com/topic/11302-kotor-1-2-texture-analysis/ Installation : Drop the files into the override folder etc Thor110 Submitter Thor110 Submitted 10/24/2024 Category Skins K1R Compatible Yes  

At some point in the future I was hoping to get together a team of all the games languages to ensure my project worked across all regions, but it's all still a long way off, might never happen. You'd probably be better off digging through it yourself.

I told you as soon as I realized I likely wouldn't be working on the project for a while. The last update was January, my hiatus was May. I had no reason to explain my personal life, I wasn't looking for sympathy. I explained why because I was forced to remind someone this is a hobby, which takes a backseat to real life. I don't owe you, or anyone, an apology. Like other modders, I work on this because I want to, when I am able. I am currently unable, and anyone who cannot accept that is being unreasonable. If earning your acceptance means begging for your forgiveness and subjecting myself to your insults, then I don't want it. You also forget your place: it is you who rely upon me to provide this work. I don't have to do anything, and I honestly wish someone else would continue the work. That's why I've documented my progress in this thread. But no one has, so it continues to fall to me to do what I can. Not for you specifically, because quite frankly you don't deserve it. It's for everyone else who, despite their disappointment, anger, etc... refrained from attacking me even though they didn't get what they want when they wanted it. If you're so set on getting this done, feel free to start a GoFundMe or Patreon. In the meantime, life beckons.

you mean like this?

Since I was checking K1 for modules that reuse the same music even though they are different places, I created a spreadsheet that lists all of K1's modules and their corresponding Day, Night and Battle music. Day and Night is always the same (with one exception) and I think the game actually only uses Day anyway. All tracks are listed with their number corresponding to their row in ambientmusic.2da, their file name and the name given in the KotOR Soundtrack playlist linked below. You should hopefully be able to sort the spreadsheet by any of the values. To do so, click in the column you want to sort by, press Ctrl+A to select everything and then in "Data" select "Sort by Column XX...". That's all there is to it. I don't know if anyone will ever use this but since I made it, I figured I might as well shart it^^ At the very least you can use it to get warp codes Here you go: K1 music overview spreadsheet Note that most of the STUNT modules do not have any ambient music assigned. That does not mean that no music plays in this scene. Instead the music is most likely started by the script that controls the cutscene. While building this list, I also found some music pieces that are not used in any of the game's modules. However scripts could still play them anywhere in the game. If you happen to know where exactly, please let me know and I'll add the information. Those are the following tracks (once again with the name for the linked playlist): 1 mus_gui_start (The Old Republic Theme) That's the theme played in the main menu. 7 mus_theme_carth (Captured by the Leviathan) This one is played in the cutscene where the Ebon Hawk is captured in the Leviathan's tractor beam. 33 mus_bat_out (The Temple) 45 mus_bat_valsith (Uthar Wynn's Trials) 46 mus_bat_sforge (Star Forge Battle (Not quite sure here as I haven't checked the game file)) And finally, here's the playlist.
