Vurt's TSL Visual Resurgence at Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 - Mods and community Please report bugs. * This is v0.5 which means this is not a finished mod, but finished enough to test and give feedback. * The mod contains 2900+ textures, recreated with my AI model, photos and a lot of photoshop. 4X the resolution (usually) of the original textures.

Two demos in one day! In this one I show, kotor 1 working with more than 256 rows in placeables 2DA (something that previously wasn't possible).

Little demo for this morning, showing off FreeCam in both games:

I had some time today, I edited existing uti files of the robes: g_a_jedirobe01 — Padawan Tunic - Given in the Jedi Academy g_a_jedirobe02 — Sith Acolyte Tunic - Not placed in the game - Will be present on some sith characters (initiats) g_a_jedirobe03 — Not placed in the game, Ignore g_a_jedirobe04 — Not placed in the game, Ignore g_a_jedirobe05 — Not placed in the game, Ignore g_a_jedirobe06 — Qel-Droma Robe replacement g_a_kghtrobe01 — Jedi Consular Robe: • Kashyyyk, Upper Shadowlands — Jolee Bindo • Korriban, Dreshdae — Dak Vesser g_a_kghtrobe02 — Sith Adept Robe: • Tatooine, Anchorhead — Dark Jedi (ambush). • Kashyyyk, Great Walkway — Dark Jedi (ambush). • Manaan, Sith Base — footlocker. • Korriban, Sith Academy — footlocker. • Star Forge Temple (Main Floor) — Dark Jedi. g_a_kghtrobe03 — Jedi Guardian Robe - will be given to Juhani g_a_kghtrobe04 — Jedi Sentinel Robe: Dantooine Ruins — Nemo’s Remains. g_a_kghtrobe05 — Sith Warrior Robe - Same Dark Jedi Knight spawns/containers as …02 above (color variant of the same placement). g_a_mstrrobe01 — Jedi Knight Robe: • Tatooine, Eastern Dune Sea — Chewed Human Corpse. • Manaan, Hrakert Station — Remains. • Korriban, Sith Academy — footlocker. • Star Forge System, Rakatan Settlement — Wicker Bin. g_a_mstrrobe02 — Sith Lord Robe: • Manaan, Sith Base — Dark Jedi Master. • Star Forge Temple (Main Floor) — Sith Master. • Star Forge Temple Summit — Bastila (DS path). g_a_mstrrobe03 — Not placed Ignored g_a_mstrrobe04 — Not placed Ignored g_a_mstrrobe05 — Sith Marauder Robe: Same Dark Jedi Master / Sith Master / Bastila placements as …02 above (blue variant). g_a_mstrrobe06 — Darth Revan’s Robes, Ignore g_a_mstrrobe07 — Star Forge Robes (Light-only), Ignore Next step is to finish creating utc files for the rest of the robes These additional robes I will add to the characters in accordance with the table I mentioned before and maybe to shops/lockers (if they are not global)

I'm making an expansion for the first game, which starts right after beating Malak and uses Thor110's free roam. It will have 2 main stories, one for light side and one for dark side players. The idea is to add Quanon's unused Korriban modules to the game, and link the end of the game to the Revan novel for LS and SWTOR for DS. Which is why I'm saying I hope you can actually publish them at some point, so my new characters, especially Sith but Jedi too, can wear them. So yeah, great work and good luck for finishing !

The early progress on the patch manager I've been using as well as releases can now be found on GitHub

(Cross posted from Discord) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAHxy0tlDms A new day, a new Demo. Here I show File I/O working in NWScript. These just pipe into the existing c-standard `fopen`, `fclose`, `fread_s`, and `fwrite_s` functions. This allows for a rudimentary way for scripts to save data to be recalled later.

Hey everyone! My Name is Lane. Some of you know me from Kotor Speedrunning, and others from my various Youtube exploits. I don't ever really post on Deadly Stream, but I've been lurking in and around the KotOR modding community for about a decade now. I have a degree in computer Science and decided to put it to good use, and reverse engineer KotOR 1 (the GoG version). This has been an on-going project for about 2-3 years now, and I've been sharing my progress with friends, and in some Youtube Videos. However, I've pretty much hit a wall with what I can do with this effort now. So I wanted to release my progress publicly, so other smart and clever people can start doing fun stuff with this. Linked below is a Google Drive with several useful things: A Ghidra SARIF export that contains all data types, function labels, parameters, Classes, and other additions I've made A Ghidra Format XML that contains the labels and function adjustments I've worked on. This is lighter weight than the SARIF file, but has more limitations when it comes to import fidelity. A generated `.h` file, that contains the Header information I have pieced together over time. Even lighter-weight, and more limited than the above What this is not: True Debug Symbols for kotor BioWare Intellectual Property A runnable or compilable program Kotor's Source Code A reverse engineering of Kotor 2 A reverse engineering of the Steam version * * A note about Kotor 1 Steam: While this reverse engineering effort targeted the GoG release of KotOR 1, the Steam version has MANY similarities; often times having identical memory addresses for most functions. Any Patch made for the GoG version can be pretty reasonably ported to Steam with a little bit of effort. What this is: A decently representative result of what Kotor's debug symbols might look like (format and terminology pulled from the MacOS symbols, and existing NWN docs) A research-based labeling and reverse engineering of the GoG version of Kotor 1 A labor of love for the past several years that I'm happy to share Why this is cool/important: This provides a stepping off point for creating proper patches for KotOR 1 This also provides a means for researching underlying issues with things such as memory management, graphical limitations, and compatibility This also provides a researching angle for coming to understand some of the more mysterious file formats, and how they interact with the game itself There are also a variety of fundamental similarities between this and KotOR 2. Which may unlock some insights for that game This is also the first step towards a proper re-compilation (though that is a long-ways off) How do I use this? You need Ghidra installed, with a modern Java Runtime Create a new project, and import swkotor.exe (as purchased from GoG) Open the EXE in Ghidra's code browser When it asks if you want it analyzed, select 'Yes" The default analyzers are fine, technically you could speed this up by stripping out a few unneeded analyzers The analyzers will take several minutes to complete (progress can be tracked in the bottom right) Once the analyzers have run, we can proceed Select "File > Add To Program..." and select the SARIF (or XML) file (download below) The importer will analyze the symbols and apply them to the project You now have a decently labeled/decompiled instance of KotOR 1 Limitations: 99.9% of the functions have been labeled, however there were a few stragglers that I was never able to work out. These will appear as `FUN_<address>` 92.3% of the Data is labeled, with stragglers being named `DAT_address` Data Types are VERY incomplete. The labeled ones consist mostly of frequently used types, and known fields. Unknown fields are marked `field<index>_<offset>` Virtual Function calls are very under labeled (largely due to the difficultly of labeling vtables in Ghidra). Though you can determine the underlying function by applying the offset to the associated Class vtable. Most functions have only automatic variables defined within their decomp. Typing and purpose of underlying variables beyond function names, and parameter types, are left up to inference. Overlapping functions. Certain functions overlap in this compilation, due optimizations within the Visual C++ runtime. As a result some functions such as `GetProperty0x30` are shared by multiple classes, and thus lack a name-space. You can usually work out their purpose by checking the associated data type at that offset. If you used the XML import, you will be missing a lot of typing and Function Class/Namespace info Final Notes: Please feel free to ask me any questions about this effort, or any thing strange you might find within the decomp. I've grown to be quite the kotor expert over the years, and I'd be happy to share any insights. You can reach out to me on Discord @lane_d, I'm in the Kotor Reddit server, as well as the kotor speedrunning server. I will be periodically posting updates to this drive, whenever I get the chance to work on this more. If anyone has any major contributions they'd like to see added, please reach out! I'd be happy to chat. Both the XML and SARIF formats have some limitations, unfortunately they are the best I can do without publicly sharing Bioware intellectual property. If there is something missing from these that you are in need of, please reach out and I can see if I can help you. (Note: I will not be abetting piracy though. Buy the damn game, it goes on sale all the time) Google Drive Link Here

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

@DarthParametric I actually cracked the debug camera a long time ago when I was working on thread injection: Around 2-minutes in that video Honestly this entire playlist is filled with things I've gotten up to in these games. I haven't stuck a way to use it in the patcher just yet, but I have a few ideas.

Ah, I see! That's why I didn't take it into account xD Because it is a different mod Thanks again! In any case, I think it would be better to have fixed utc files for unused robes. If some mods use them, they will have proper textures with JC's robe model port --- Also, a small update, I fixed all the icons of all the robes, now they have a proper display with the blue border

That should be very doable, right now the shipBuild function just return `true`, and does nothing else. So as far as patching goes, it's as easy as swapping a byte or two. I'll throw something together later today, and make a mini demo. Good suggestion, I'll add this to the list @DarthParametric Here ya go:

Ok, so.... I finished with the creation of all the .uti files for all the robes (23 robes, wow). I added unique description for one of them and I added all the robes to the game and tested that the textures work and look fine (for for male and female NPCs). In accordance with JC's Cloaked Jedi Robes for K1 Mod Resource I created all types of textures for each robe (PFBI/PMBI, PFBIA/PMBIA, PFBIB/PMBIB, PFBIBa/PMBIBa, PFBIC/PMBIC, PFBIJu/PMBIZh), however for now I have only "gloves" texture for all of them. Next step will be to copy all the different hand texture for all the robes for all the variations 5 variations for 23 robes... it will take time xD When I have time. Another thing is that robes icons background does not look good (for most of the icons I can't see the blue border). I'll have to fix this too. For now, this is a screenshot with all of the descriptions of all the robes directly from the game, My achievement for today xD If you are interested in about the descriptions I came up with, you can open and enlarge the image

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

I recently created a mod that reskins Ulic Qel-Droma's Mesh Suit and made it upgradeable.

Hello everyone I've been a quiet spectator for a bit and am kinda dumb when it comes to modding and was wondering if anyone could bring my favorite head from Kotor 2 to Kotor 1 (apologies if my formatting is incorrect for this kind of post)

Hey Everyone! I finally had some time to finish the robe textures for the modification I realized that the skirt part of the robe needed additional piece of texture so I added it for the Jedi robes textures that were already done (Jedi Consular Robe, Jedi Master Robe, Jedi Padawan Robe). Fixed it + added the gloves texture Next I finished Jedi Guardian Robe. Applied the same collar fix and fix for the skirt part + added the gloves texture Jedi Keeper Robe: This looks maybe a bit off. I think I should check how to apply metallic effect through txi file. Maybe it will help Jedi Sentinel Robe was very easy to work with. I applied only the collar fix and recoloured cuffs Jedi Champion Robe required only collar fix. Similarly, Jedi Watchman Robe needed only the collar fix Next one was Jedi Archivist Robe. Surprisingly the belt part looked good. I added only collar fix and the fix for the skirt Jedi Weapon Master Robe was also easy to fix (added collar fix) And Lastly I finished recolouring the Qel Droma Robe

new dantooine sky and grass for the next patch

Hello there everyone! I didn't post a proper update for a while. To be honest i'm not doing any "insane" progress lately but we keep going forward! The reason of this post is simple, I'm gonna have some (well earned) holidays from November 1st to November 11. I want to organize a long stream showcasing the state of the mod and most of its current content. 2 main goals: Showing the work, and most of all, getting your feedbacks! 🫡 We'll be discussing a lot about where the mod is going, so if you want to provide some ideas, feel free to jump in! I'll be streaming on Friday night, 7 November, on my youtube channel (link: https://www.youtube.com/@zobizobstudio/streams). If you cannot join live no worries, i'll be uploading the entire thing on my channel aswell so you can still reach me in the comments, on Deadlystream or on the dedicated discord channel for the project. @vurt Wow, i've just noticed your message but i've seen your retexture work and it looks amazing! I'd be more than happy to have you on board for some retextures. Atm the only thing is, as I'm using K2's assets or some other modder's assets from Vanilla, i wish the textures to be close to the vanilla art style. If that still interests you we can work on some npcs variations, like their clothings or stuff like that! Especially for aliens. I couldn't post without showcasing some stuff, so here are some of the things i've showcased on discord. A kinrath model that sprays acid The hidden bek bartender: The outcast keldor: Very small showcase for the back alley entrance: Very small showcase for the new back alley module: New way to kill Selven: A new teleporting chadrafan npc concept: All of this is WIP of course Hope to see some people on stream!

Seconding a request for Republic Officers pack as well. Would love to see Admiral Dodonna and the other officers looking as good as the soldiers.

some TSL screens (4K, no reshade, just the fog fix)

Hey Everyone! I had some time today to continue with the Robes project Now we have Sith Lord Robe (Had some thought about this, the original texture for this one was no good, so I recoloured the Kavar's Jedi robe texture from Force Fashion) Sith Inquisitor Robe (This one required some tweaks but overall was good) Sith Crusader Robe (this one required only the collar fix. Looks amazing IMHO) Sith Warrior Robe (alas, I had to get rid of the part of the robe below the belt, those belts looked on a texture but on the characters they were not very good) Overall I'm almost done with fitting/retexturing/editing the K2 robe textures for K1 robe model for the sith. Only Sith Marauder and Sith Assassin Robes are left. When I have time I will finish them and I really want to move on to Jedi

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

I had a big break in modding over the years xD I will xD

Daaaaamn bro you're a KOTOR modder, you can't not know about K1CP and RC-K1CP ! Stay up to date ! 😜

View File My favorite and custom Swtor mask (Tulak Hords version) I was asked if i could make my custom mask that you can find here . Into Tulak's hord mask so we can find it on korriban. I was unable to do it so The_Chaser_One did it and better that i would have he even crafted a custom icon. Enjoy and thank you The_Chaser_One. I also made a more lore friendly version the link will be available as soon as i finish it. Submitter Elayerfawkes45 Submitted 11/07/2025 Category Mods K1R Compatible Yes  

Not K1R, the RC-K1CP is a different mod though they are similar in that they're both restored content mods. K1R does not restore the robes I believe.

The Jedi Temple scene does have crashes at various points depending on game version and/or system. As I personally do not experience these bugs, hence why I can't fix them, a temporary fix has been made by adding an option where you can skip the Jedi Council scene when you meet with Drayen outside the elevator. This'll take you straight to Corellia with Drayen in your party and allow you to play the mod beyond the Jedi Council scene. This'll be added in Episode Two with all of Episode One's bug fixes and improvements, however, Episode One's bug fixes (and this particular bug fix) will be available to players early in the form of a sub mod which will be downloaded separately from ROR and will be installed on top of ROR as it is now.

The target would be his UTC file, since that's where his inventory is stored. As to how you'd do it, while you could just edit the UTC directly and add it to his inventory via Holocron Toolset or KGFF, a better approach might be to use scripting to do it, since that allows for more control. It would also mean it wouldn't be affected by the edge case of people loading a save where he had already been spawned before they installed the mod, since in that case a modified UTC wouldn't take affect (creatures, placeables, etc. are saved in the GIT file stored in the user's save as soon as they are spawned). Probably not a big deal in this instance, but it can be a significant consideration in other circumstances.

without reshade

Added some trees to this area, just to see how much of a difference it makes and if it would affect FPS (it didn't, 0 difference in FPS even after adding around 100 trees). I think the game looks incredibly dull with these super bare areas with nothing going on in them. I might be able to animate them too, i have added animated trees to Morrowind. Though this could make the game a bit inconsistent unless i animate all trees in all areas, and that is.. unlikely. video: KotOR TSL with new trees

@heyorangeDamn bro that looks great ! How much more time do you think you'll need ? Also, I assume this will work for both games ? It'd be nice if I could make my expansion compatible with your mod. Anyway, great work.

Steam itself doesn’t present the launcher for the game. It will just launch you straight into the LucasArts and Obsidian movies before being greeted by the main menu.

I'll send you a private message.

Hello. Thanks for your contribution. Could I ask you what you meant exactly with "There's some little things to fix" in the description? Cheers!

Thanks for checking Vurt. I've solved the issue - it was to do with Steam Cloud saving in that area I think. Thanks!

Of course. I have attached the save file. Thanks! 000009 - Game8.zip

It already looks quite impressive, but by far my favorite part is your Nar Shadaa skybox. That looks simply phenomenal!

Yes, K1CP includes the fix so you don't have to install the fix if you've already got K1CP installed.

Aaaand I'm back xD So, I finished with the textures for the Sith. Here is Sith Marauder Robe (I added the collar and changed the part below the belt. Now it looks like Sith Lord clothing with the armor) And here is the Sith Assassin Robe (Basically, what's left from the original texture here is the boots. I remade it to be more in line with all other Sith Tier VI Robes) Finally I moved in to deal with the Jedi robes SO, here we have a Padawan Robe (The only change here is the collar fix and gloves (because of the aligning of texture)) The Jedi Knight Robe (only collar fix was added to the texture) And of course The Jedi Master Robe (Kavar's robe from Force Fashion with edited belt and collar fix. Also, I changed the colour of the pants and the cloak) Lastly for today is the Jedi Consular Robe. I decided that Jolee's Robe texture from Force Fashion 2 (or Rather ROR) is good fit for it. First of all, the original idea with Disciple texture feels similar to Jedi Master texture. Second, Jolee is a Jedi Consular himself. So, let's say his casual clothing is what's left of his Consular robe For the texture I had to change the part below the belt (it was too dark and looked inappropriate in several places), I added collar fix and changed the colour of the pants + I smoothed a bit the shadow under the belt.

I searched Kotor 2 txi's and only the 1 texture used that water effect. The vanilla texture causes frame stuttering and editing that texture causes crashing.

It doesn't do anything. Removing it is fine. The force cage texture is also bugged. Removing the water effect from the TXI fixes it. Then theres a few textures that don't come with a TXI when decompiled and will have alpha issues. Dantooine leaves, korriban blast damage, and a shrub are the ones I remember.

Are you going to share your solution with the forums?

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

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.

Hello, currently i am working on widescreen mod (as i didn't found one that fully satisfied me). Its based on other works, but its not simply combination - it has updated graphic elements and most important fonts as this is main issue for bigger resolutions. Bellow you can find screenshots before/after. Please let me know what do you think.

Excluding the larger fonts, how does your mod differ from Widescreen UI Fix + Improved Widescreen Experience?

Hello again, I wonder if anyone is interested in this mod with integrated bigger fonts or users rather want to have separated mods - bigger fonts and widescreen GUI? As some parts are dependent - multiple GUI files need to be updated, when using bigger font, in order to avoid missing text display or wrong alignment. I need to consider how to organize files in folder to make installing as easy as possible - as many users have problems even with installing current GUI mods and in this case this would be even harder - due to GUI / font dependency.

The Handmaiden starts with row 454, which has the hood up and uses a full body model (a single 3D model that includes the head & body, "F" for "full" in column "modeltype"). Later she uses row 638, which uses separate head and body models ("B" in column "modeltype" and a number in the "normalhead" column) , so it can show gear that's equiped. There's several ways to go, up to you. You can turn 638 into the hood up version or keep the hood down in 638 but make it so that it will never show gear. Sure, no problem. Effixians_Keep_Companian_Default_Clothing_Jedi_only_version.zip

Great! Now only the Republic Officers are missing. 👌 I like very much the new design. My only suggestion would be to make the two "wings" on the chest gold instead of silver just like they are in the original texture. But it is really a minor thing and a personal preference. Thank you, Dark Hope.
