    All of these textures you've been doing for KotOR1 have been wonderful. But I'm seeing a need that you haven't seemed willing to tackle: textures for KotOR2: The Sith Lords. Granted, there's a lot of overlap between many KotOR1 and TSL textures but I'd love to see you start on TSL specific textures. Whether it's for the new locations available there, the different heads for the PC characters, or the NPC team members, I am curious what you could come up for those textures. If anyone else agrees, drop a comment?

    Browsing through makes me want to dive in for a new modded run of K1! I agree with @Sith Holocron TSL would see a huge boon from your skill and attention.

    Dear Dark Hope, I am sure I share everyone's sentiment here saying that we wish for all russians to have one day the freedom they deserve. Unfortunately, it seems to me that the world has been going too often in the opposite directon the latest years. Especially some countries. May your child be born to see a better future. All the best!

    Sorry I've been slow to update this thread. A lot of the discussion has moved to Discord for better or for worse. But I'll try to put major updates here when I can. @DarthOuroboros Regarding a Lua machine, I had considered this option previously when I was planning out the script extender, but discarded it as the scripting community is already very well established, and asking people to adopt a new scripting paradigm might be a hard sell. However, that's not to say there'll never be a Lua machine implemented as you describe. There's room in the patching project for all sorts of ideas and features (provided someone is willing to create them). It just isn't currently on my or anyone elses docket to look into that.

    The Russian modder did just that, but since he's presumably gone he can't come back and bug fix his own work or release it to the English-speaking Kotor Community. But as for why no one else has done it, it's simple - it takes effort to make a good quality mod. The TSL Expanded Ending mod adds a really high quality ending that puts TSLRCM's ending to shame, but it was made by a very talented modder. If he ever decides to work on the rest of Malachor, it probably won't be released for a very long time as it'd take a long time to not only make but ensure it's compatible with TSLRCM and other popular mods as there are lots of variables to consider for the end game - and this even includes him using Malachor VI as a base for his work, good mods take time to make and it's very easy to get burnt out during that process.

    Somewhat to my surprise, it actually doesn't seem too bad without it. No gap needing to be filled, which makes things easy. Try this and see how it looks in-game: K1_PFHA01_No_Bangs.zip

    For reasons I can't explain, ever since I played TSL for the first time far longer ago than I care to admit, I've always wanted to have the interior doors in the Ebon Hawk in the first game. I noticed nobody else had added this feature in as of yet, so I decided to take a crack at doing it myself: All of the doors are added in and working, but obviously once they've opened, they stay that way. This feels like it makes the mod a bit pointless, so I'm currently working on a way to have each door automatically close once you move a certain distance away from it. I originally planned to use an OnHeartbeat script attached to each door to close it once you move a certain distance away, but it didn’t come out as well as I’d hoped: It’s a bit janky and doesn’t always seem to work as intended, so I’m not sold on this method. I did try using a trigger instead, having the doors open/close using the OnEnter and OnExit scripts instead and it’s a LOT smoother, so I think I’m gonna switch to that. Setting all those triggers isn’t going to be the quickest process in the world though so… that’ll be fun! As you can see, since the doors were originally intended to only be seen from one side in TSL, so once you pass through, you can see some of the door geometry poking out the wall on the other side. I'm not too bothered with that though, since it's unlikely anyone is going to be stopping and turning around to look up every time they walk through a door. I did show it at the end off the video though, just as a point of interest. I’ll hopefully get all of the triggers set tomorrow, give it a thorough test and then maybe put up a new test video before I create an installer and package it up for release.

    The mod has been updated: Armor 9 HD isn't updated. I used the belt from this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/1770 I didn't get permission to publish it. I wanted to update the duros texture, but didn't get detran's permission. Boots have been updated.

    I know this, I know what I'm looking at here. This isn't TSLRCM, this is the bootleg Malachor VI mod that a Russian modder made. Where did you download your mods from? You're playing a Russian mod that has not been translated for English users and is practically unknown to us. If you are using the mod that I am thinking of, then there are problems with it that prevents any translation work into English from being done. 1) It contains Visas audio files from the Ravager for Malachor of her dying. I suspect it's for if Visas dies on Malachor, but since the Russian modder named these files something like "907visassex.mp3" the other prominent modders I have shown this mod to assume the Russian modder added a sex scene to the mod and so refuse to probe into the mod any further. 2) The Russian modder I speak of has been missing since the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022, it is very much possible that the maker of this mod perished during the initial invasion of Ukraine and thus he can neither help us or give us permission to modify his mod.

    Please see the official GitHub repo to get support and find updates: https://github.com/OldRepublicDevs/NCSDecomp NCSDecomp - Turn Your Compiled KOTOR Scripts Back Into Readable Code! Ever wanted to see what's inside those compiled .ncs script files from KOTOR? Or maybe you found a mod with scripts you want to understand or modify? NCSDecomp can take those compiled script files and turn them back into readable source code that you can actually understand and edit! What does it do? Simply put, NCSDecomp converts compiled KOTOR scripts (.ncs files) back into source code (.nss files). It's like having a translator that converts the game's internal script format back into human-readable code. Works with both KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2! How to use: There are two ways to use NCSDecomp - a simple graphical program (GUI) or command-line tools. Most users will want the GUI version! Option 1: The Easy Way (GUI - Recommended!) 1. Download the NCSDecomp folder 2. Double-click NCSDecomp.exe (Windows) or NCSDecomp.app (Mac) 3. That's it! No Java installation needed - everything is included! Once it opens: Drag and drop any .ncs file onto the window to decompile it Or use File → Open to browse for files The decompiled code will appear with syntax highlighting (color-coded keywords, functions, etc.) You can edit the code right there if you want Press Ctrl+S (or Cmd+S on Mac) to save your changes Open multiple files at once - each gets its own tab The program supports both KOTOR 1 and 2 (configurable in the settings) and attempts to unify most nwnnsscomp.exe variants, but has mainly been tested with kotorscript and ktool's variants. Option 2: Command Line (For Advanced Users) If you prefer using the command line or want to automate tasks: Windows: .\NCSDecompCLI.exe -i "script.ncs" -o "script.nss" --k2 Mac/Linux: ./NCSDecompCLI -i "script.ncs" -o "script.nss" --k2 This reads script.ncs and creates script.nss with the decompiled code. Use --k1 for KOTOR 1 scripts, or --k2 for KOTOR 2 scripts. Decompile an entire folder: .\NCSDecompCLI.exe -i "scripts_folder" -r --k2 -O "output_folder" This processes all .ncs files in the folder (including subfolders) and saves the results to your output folder. Features: Works with both KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2/TSL scripts Beautiful graphical interface with syntax highlighting Edit decompiled scripts and compile them back Round-trip verification - see if your edited code compiles correctly Batch process entire folders of scripts at once View bytecode if you're curious about the low-level details Self-contained - no Java installation needed! Cross-platform - works on Windows, Mac, and Linux What can you do with it? Decompile .ncs files to see the original source code Understand how game scripts work Edit scripts and recompile them for mods Analyze scripts from your favorite mods Batch process entire script folders quickly Troubleshooting: "Error: nwscript file not found" Make sure you haven't deleted or moved the tools folder that came with the download The program should find everything automatically, but if you get this error, check that the tools folder is in the same directory as the executable "Program won't start" (Windows) Windows might be blocking it. Right-click NCSDecomp.exe → Properties → Check "Unblock" → Apply Try running as Administrator if you get permission errors "Program won't start" (Mac) You may need to allow the app in System Preferences → Security & Privacy Right-click the app and select "Open" the first time "Program won't start" (Linux) Make sure the executable has permission to run: Make sure the executable has permission to run: chmod +x NCSDecompCLI/NCSDecompCLI For more help: Run .\NCSDecompCLI.exe --help (Windows) or ./NCSDecompCLI --help (Mac/Linux) to see all available options Check the included README files for detailed documentation Source code and more info: https://github.com/bolabaden https://bolabaden.org Credits: Original Developers (The Foundation): JdNoa - Created the original script decompiler engine Dashus - Created the original GUI These developers did the hard foundational work that made this tool possible. The original DeNCS was an internal tool used by TSLRP (The Sith Lords Restoration Project) and was released to the public "as is" with no warranty. Current Maintainer: th3w1zard1 - Complete rewrite and modernization This version represents a near-complete rewrite and modernization of the original DeNCS tool. While based on the original developers' foundational work, the current version has been extensively revamped with a new GUI, modernized codebase, cross-platform support, and many new features. The core decompilation concepts from the original work remain, but the implementation has been significantly rewritten for modern development practices.

    It's not a terribly unique first mod idea. I've seen 2 other mods just like it. But one was OP AF, as the kids say, and the other was just okay. I want to make Upgradable Clothing and Robes, both to keep the starting outfit viable for Taris and Dantooine, and so Robes don't feel quite so gipped. But I'm also not the world's greatest numbers guy, so I wanted to float my initial idea and get feedback from people who've gone into the guts of the game's balance far deeper than I ever will. As for Robes, there are only a handful of upgradable armors in the game, and Jedi are just cut of the system entirely. This lets Robes feel a bit less obligatory (you want your Force Buffs right?) and moves them into a Force User-themed desirable alternative to armor. (And honestly, the two reinforcements go thematically with the Jedi Armor that appears in SWTOR and later entries) So here's my initial idea: Upgradeable Clothing Defense: 1 (same as Jedi Robes, which I consider to be the same as Clothing) Skill Focus: Persuade (clothes make the sentient; its a useful buff for a useful skill early game since its restricted to one class without penalty, unless you've modded it; but not so useful that you'd ignore armor with better defense for it) Armor Reinforcement: Defense +2 (or Defense 3, depends on if this replaces the old value or stacks; yes I'm that new at this, Brings it up to equivalent of Jedi Master Robes) Mesh Overlay: Charisma +2 (goes thematically with the base bonus; gives a minor buff to Persuade; I keep going back and forth if I should swap these around) OR Universal Save Bonus +1 (again nice generic bonus for any build, but not so good that you'd start turning away higher level gear) Jedi Robes Defense: 1 Regenerate Force Points: 1 (taken blatantly from TSL, makes them feel a little more unique and useful to Force users beyond just not restricting Force Powers) Armor Reinforcement: Defense +2 Mesh Overlay: Wisdom +1 (Charisma +1 for DS version) (a pivotal stat for Jedi, so nice to get a bonus, but hardly game-breaking) Jedi Knight Robes Defense: 2 Regenerate Force Points: 1 Armor Reinforcement: Defense +2 Mesh Overlay: Wisdom +2 (Charisma +2 for DS version), Immunity: Poison (Jedi are reputed for being to shrug off most poisons; using Heal does this, so its usefulness is limited) Jedi Master Robes Defense: 3 Regenerate Force Points: 1 Armor Reinforcement: Defense +2 Mesh Overlay: Wisdom +3 (Charisma +3 for DS version), Immunity: Mind-Affecting (Can you see a Jedi/Sith Master getting confused or mind-tricked?) Qel-Droma Robes Restricted to Light Side Defense: 4 (down -1 from base to flow better with the upgradable scaling) Wisdom +2 Regenerate Force Points: 2 (Base robes all have it 1 now, so felt like the unique ones should have a slightly better version) Armor Reinforcement: Defense +2 Mesh Overlay: Immunity to Fear and Mind-affecting (just improved Master Robes in many way, plus a nod to Cay Qel-Droma's suicidal levels of overconfidence/naivete.) Darth Revan's Robes (These two can't be upgraded because there's no upgrade bench to use at this point in the game, so I just gave them a little buff to keep up with the other improvements) Restricted to Dark Side Defense: 7 Strength +5 (up +1 from vanilla, just to keep bonuses uniform) Regeneration: 1 Regenerate Force Points: 2 Immunity: Sneak Attacks (honestly, probably not very useful at this point, but I like it as a nod to the idea that he survived getting shot in the back by a SHIP) Star Forge Robes (These two can't be upgraded because there's no upgrade bench to use at this point in the game, so I just gave them a little buff to keep up with the other improvements) Restricted to Light Side Defense: 7 Wisdom +5 Improved Saving Throws (Universal): +2 Regenerate Force Points: 2 Immunity: Critical Hits (its the end of the game, might be a bit OP but honestly shouldn't matter) On a secondary note: I've never liked the odd numbered stat bonuses. Every version of D&D after the OG 3rd/SWRPG ditched them because it amounted to new gear having a 50% of being useless if you didn't have an odd numbered stat. That just doesn't feel good. How badly do you think a mod that redoes all Attribute bonuses to Even-Numbered break the game. Maybe some of the ones that already have even numbered stat buffs could get a small secondary effect to help differentiate. But that's a different project. Just an idea to address something that's always bugged me, and much more ambitious.

    I am. Making the clothing part was super easy, barely an inconvenience. I cannot get the modifications part to work for the robes though. My guess it has something to do with item type.

    I agree with you, though I would like to mention that Dark Hope's first language isn't English and so your mods might get lost in translation for her if you speak too complexly. I would like to say that if Dark Hope doesn't have a copy of Kotor II, meaning she can't get the textures, I'm sure many of us modders who do own Kotor II would be willing to give her the textures that she'd want to work on.

    Upscales approved and now available on Deadly Stream: https://deadlystream.com/topic/12120-skinrevenge-of-revan-upscales/

    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 Zip File (GZF) containing everything you need to use this 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 the GZF? (New way) You need Ghidra installed, with a modern Java Runtime Download `k1_win_gog_swkotor.exe.gzf` from the google drive below Create a new Ghidra project Drag the GZF into the project Double click it to begin browsing You now have a decently labeled/decompiled instance of KotOR 1 How do I use the SARIF or XML? (Old way) 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 server, OpenKotOR server, DeadlyStream server, and 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. Google Drive Link Here

    As always, you are full of good ideas, N-DReW-25. May I ask if you imported the model and texture from the sequel or if it is a custom made work? I read better the info and Quanon is reported as the author. It would be nice to remedy the bug with the Force Power effect originating from the feet rather than the hand and I am sure an experienced modeller could help you out with that. And perhaps with the clipping of the hand and lightsabe I noticed in the picture. Cheers! PS: Too bad also about the bug with the AI voice over. That would have been my choice...

    From Bioware's own TLK documentation: For languages other than english where conversational or other text differs depending on the gender of the speaker or the person being spoken to, there are two talk table files, dialog.tlk and dialogf.tlk. Both tlk files contain text for the all the StrRefs in the game and for gender-neutral strings, the two tlk files actually contain the exact same text. However, if a given StrRef refers to text that has a two different translations depending on gender of the player character, then dialog.tlk will contain the masculine form of the text and dialogf.tlk will contain the feminine form of the text. Personally, I convert the TLK to and from XML using Xoreos Tools (tlk2xml / xml2tlk). But there are also other tools around that convert to/from various text formats.

    KOTOR 1 has essentially two types of level scaling: 1. Spawning more and/or different NPCs. This may be done either through a script or through an encounter object. 2. Buffing NPCs when they are spawned. This may be done either in an individual script or with the global script k_def_buff. With the first, I would expect the change in stats to feel consistent regardless of PC level. With the second, you will experience diminishing returns at higher PC levels because enemies will be getting the same flat bonus added to a higher base stat.

    "Jedi Watchmen and Sith Assassins have both had their Sneak Attack progression reduced, to avoid Sentinel becoming redundant due to getting all 10 Sneak Attack ranks from one class." I don't understand the rationale behind this whatsoever. Level 30 is where most players finish the game, which means you already couldn't get all 10 sneak attack levels even from being an Assassin because you'd need level 19 (character level 34!), making it impossible. And Watchman topped out at VII at the same level. It NEVER even had the capacity to make Sentinel redundant... The whole point of this mod should be that Sentinel can be used to facilitate maxing out sneak attack at all. If the Vanilla splits are kept for Watchman/Assassin you'd get SA X at level, 31 and 26 respectively. 31 is still high but it's possible to reach with great effort for a particularly adept Watchman. The more aggressive Assassin maxes it out at 26. Scoundrels get it already at 19, being fair because of being a weaker class. Vanilla you're usually ending the game at 5 and 8 respectively. With your changes, it's functionally trading Watchman/Assassin's utility to Sentinel, and making a Sentinel>Watchman even weaker... If you're coming from Guardian or Consular it's now only possible to get SA 4 instead of potentially 6, in exchange for Sentinel being able to grant 4 levels of SA to the other 2 prestige classes, which is basically useless... That all being said, I just don't understand where you think the Sentinel would somehow become redundant without this change. This mod would be better with the vanilla splits.

    Well - in the context of area reskins there are no plans within the mod like there are with NPC reskins with RedRob41. Nar Shaddaa will have Kexikus' High Quality Skyboxes but the terms of using Kexikus' work in ROR is that we can only use planets that appear in Kotor I or II in ROR - we can't take M4-78's skybox for a planet and use it for a planet that is not M4-78 for example. My biggest concern for HD textures in ROR is that the HD textures will bloat the already large file size. Why should ROR be 10 Gigabytes when it could be 4 Gigabytes? RedRob41's NPC HD Overhaul, if he doesn't publish it as a separate mod, would be downloaded from the main ROR page like this example here: You'd download the main mod on the top and the HD NPC Overhaul would be separate and optional, the above example shows five downloads but ROR would probably have two (though more may be needed if the file sizes are too big). But as of right now, any major HD texture work in regards to areas would most likely be a ROR Addon - a mod you install after ROR. And I can hint that such a mod will be a thing in the future

    For those who are hungry for updates, thanks for all the kind words and support. As holidays are around the corner, my free-time has been a bit taxed lately as I strike the balance between KotOR things and spending time with my and my fiance's family. (Not to mention keeping up with my real job 😬) However, I did spend some time formalizing some of the various "wishlist" features, as well as other pending investigations within the repository issues view. Most upcoming work on my radar for this project is of the unexciting sort. I want to adjust the way I'm modelling game objects in the patching framework to better reflect the underlying inheritance in the base game (i.e. Functions that take a CSWCObject can accept a CSWCCreature, which is derivative, as valid input, etc). I also want to improve/expand the address database system. Right now, they're being stored in plain-text TOML format, which is fine at the current scale, but as this project has grown, this system is already becoming unwieldy. I'm looking to swap to using SQLIte, such that we can have efficient, live, swappable local databases that we can just dump address data directly out Ghidra into. Finally, kotor 2 reverse engineering just needs more work. Kotor 1 is in a great place, such that if we were only targeting that game, I could really accelerate this project. But since I'm endeavoring to provide a solid framework for both games, some TL&C is required to get kotor 2 at least somewhat up to speed. I likley will be giving DarthOuroboros's GhidraMCP suggestion a shot to see if that can accelerate things more here. As a lot of the work to be done is mostly comparative reverse engineering, which I hope falls into the low-complexity class of problem that AI typically excels at. As always let me know if there are any questions or suggestions! P.S. @ajdrenter Galaxy map stuff would be pretty interesting, I've added an issue for me to investigate that at some point in the future. Thanks for the suggestion!

    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.

    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

    It would be both interesting and fun to potentially be able to recruit more people to one's crew in TSL using a system similar to the initial PartySwap mod which gives you an item allowing you to insert the handmaiden in as a replacement for any of your party members even if you're female, and so that you can recruit both her and the Disciple regardless of gender. Perhaps this can be done on a slightly larger scale, combining other possibilities and/or existing mods and allowing you to add more additional companions to a PartySwap-like system. Here were a few I had in mind and not coincidentally, they are all force-users which could make it more interesting: 1) Dustil Onasi: an already-popular mod exists which allows you to recruit Dustil Onasi on Telos, Carth's force-sensitive son from the previous KoToR game and have him replace HK-47, perhaps he could instead be added as an addition to the PartySwap system or an expansion of it. 2) Kaah Ohtok: Master Lonna Vash's padawan, a young Twi'lek whom you meet in the M4-78 expansion. He's a Jedi with tech expertise who struggles with temptations toward the dark side (which is why he attacks you initially). He dies in the expansion despite agreeing to join your party but perhaps a mod could be added to allow him to be recruited in a PartySwap-like way. 3) Kaevee: this is more of a long-shot, considering she was cut but then again so was Kaah. She's a former Padawan living on Dantooine in the Jedi ruins who is the actual thief that was stealing from Suulru and wants a Jedi Master to train her. Perhaps the Exile could agree to take her on 4) Atris: I've heard she was originally going to be recruited but Obsidian scrapped the idea. A user named Reztea introduced a mod where you can recruit her towards the end after you fight and defeat her and she takes Kreia's spot after Kreia leaves (spoiler, so sorry). Perhaps this could be worked into the PartySwap system as well even if she only joins towards the end. Please share your thoughts on this. I would love feedback and to see this

    The textures weren't a fix. The pink was intentional to see if that shows up in the line. A different colour might have been better. As to the model, whoops, forgot to enable the headlink. This should be fixed: <removed> Edit: It doesn't warrant a formal DS release, since this is not a universal problem, but if anyone else needs it, you can find it here - https://github.com/DarthParametric/TSL_Atton_Head_Black_Line_UV_Tweak/releases/latest

    Use KOTORTool to extract all the TPCs from the texture pack ERF. Then, to quote myself:
