    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?

    Hello folks. It's been a long time since I've posted in this WIP thread as I had released all I was planning to do on it years ago. If you saw the two posts before this one, you saw mention of me possibly redoing some of the loading screens for exterior areas of TSL using Kexikus' skyboxes. Now - in 2026 - I'm finally getting around to doing that. Here's a few WIP samples of areas I've done so far. (See attached.) The new loading screens will be released separately. If you liked the original loading screens that I released, they aren't going away. This will give you some choices. (Those that use the KOTOR Discord Mod Builds would probably want the new ones as the HQ Skyboxes are in the Mod Builds.) The screenshots I use to make the loadfing screens will be utilizing 4K upscales to the textures so everything should be sharp to go along with those Kexikus skyboxes. I will say that it is very unlikely that I'll be redoing the loading screens as covered for my Loading Screens Add-On Pack (which covered other mods like the Jedi Temple and M4-78 EP). With of list of warp codes, jumping around probably wouldn't be a hassle but installing the mods themselves would be. Add to that, that I really don't think that there's a great demand for Loading Screens to supplement mods that have never been very popular to begin with.

    I've done it. Do you want the stump still UV'd to fit the vanilla PLC_GenCorpse texture, or expanded take up the full 0:1 UV space since you presumably have a standalone texture? I can do the same with the hand and arm. Resize their UVs and assign them a single custom texture. Edit: I just went ahead and remapped it. Hand, arm, stump all now share one unified custom texture. UV layout guide is included in the attached (using the custom texture name). As for releasing it, go ahead, you know the drill.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    By "framed for 16:9" I meant that the dialogues etc. always get cropped to 16:9 by adding black bars to the top and bottom - now that I think about it, this cannot be true because that would mean there is no space for options on true 16:9 display. Nevermind. I get that playing on 4:3 is pretty niche but why any of these mods don't even consider it, especially on such old games. I mean, at least mentioning the compatibility in their descriptions. Whatever, I do not believe I might get to any specific issues with 4:3 at the moment. Wonder how the rest of the playthrough is going to unfold...

    Nothing. The game is a quarter of a century old and was designed for a Pentium II Celeron with 64MB of pooled system and video memory. The problems people encounter today are due to poor OpenGL support in their shitty drivers (i.e. AMD), not being overtaxed by added textures. The bigger issue is you probably won't notice any difference with or without a normal map, so they are mostly a waste of time. They used it sparingly because there was a limit to what they could fit in the Xbox's aforementioned pocket calculator-sized memory. And its presence in the first place was likely a legacy of Aurora/NWN. The engine doesn't accept normal maps in TGA format, so back in the old days it simply wasn't possible to make use of them. Additionally, even if you have a correct texture the relevant mesh/es in the model need a flag set for it, which wasn't exposed in the old modding tools. As to why more recent mods don't make use of them, some do. But like I said, it's mostly a waste of time because you can't even tell.

    You use the normal as a normal. Odyssey's normal implementation is pretty crap though. The source has to be de-swizzled and the Y (green) channel flipped because TOR is DirectX (-Y) and Odyssey is OpenGL (+Y). Odyssey doesn't have specular, so you're stuck with using envmaps. For stuff like clothes or anything else that gets tinted, you can bake the colour into the diffuse via the Blender plugin. Refer to the wiki on the SWTOR Slicers Github page for details.

    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 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.

    The problem simply didn't happen with ROR, it played in-game exactly the same as it does when you listen to the .MP3 audio file. If you open the tslpatcher folder and open the folder named "ai" the affected VO is in there if anyone wanted to see the problem for themselves. If you listen to the audio as an .MP3 file it plays as it should but in-game the speed and pitch is somehow increased to the point that it sounds like Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks. Marius Fett sent me a fixed version of the models earlier today. I've just updated the mod with their fixed models and in my testing the Death Field effect now projects from the hands as it should.

    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...

    A new mod has been added to the series and I have an update to the main NPC Diversity Pack mod. When the mod goes live, this link shall take you to the Quarren Sith Master mod - a mod which turns the Manaan Sith Master into a Quarren using textures from Quanon's Big Sellout modder's resource. The update for my NPC Diversity Pack is in the works and shall include new generic commoner heads with some ported outright from Kotor II and some made from scratch. Right now, there are the following generic heads: 3 white male, 2 black male, 3 asian male, 3 white female, 2 black female, 3 asian female, 2 old white male, 2 old black male, 2 old asian male, 2 old white female, 2 old black female, and 2 old asian female bringing the total to 28 generic heads in the vanilla game. The final plan of the NPC Diversity Pack is to increase each race to 5 heads meaning there'll be 5 white male, 5 black male, 5 asian male, 5 white female, 5 black female, 5 asian female, 5 old white male, 5 old black male, 5 old asian male, 5 old white female, 5 old black female, and 5 old asian female which will bring the total of generic heads all the way up to 60. Right now, only the non-old heads are ready meaning, with this update, you can optionally install 14 additional generic heads into your game that'll be spread out amongst the generic NPCs across the game. Whilst this update is not yet finished, here are some previews as to what some of these heads will look like: In addition to these new heads, I am planning on reconfiguring some of the genders of the NPCs in the modules. For example, the NPCs in the Dantooine Enclave exterior are all women and the Anchorhead Town NPCs are all men. I plan on replacing some of these NPCs with the opposite gender so that the female heads from these optional addons can be added to more planets and more areas throughout the game without having them congested in certain areas that are segregated by gender. More updates on this will be released closer to the updates release whenever that'll be.

    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!

    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

    I know it's been quite a while since I made any announcements on this project. 2019 was a very busy year for me. Even so, I was still able to work on the code a bit, and pushed code updates to the GitHub repo every so often. 2020 is still looking to be just as crazy if not more. I'm hoping to be able to post more updates on my progress. I've compiled an alpha build for anyone to test out. It can be downloaded from the release page of the GitHub project here: https://github.com/KobaltBlu/KotOR.js/releases/tag/v0.0.1 Download and unzip the contents somewhere. KotOR-js.exe is the main executable. When you run either game or the toolset for the first time, it will ask you to locate the game directory for the original games first. After that you should be good to go. It is an alpha so expect some things to be broken and or act weird. Compatibility Note: This is a 64bit build. I also believe it only supports win7 and up. I'm always eager to hear any and all feedback! This project continues to be a lot of fun to work on, and it's always forcing me to push the boundaries of what I know about coding and game design. If I can say something of encouragement to the new modders or coders that may be out there browsing these forums. It would be to chase that crazy idea and push yourself to try. When you spend hours and hours writing code or creating a mod, that feeling of seeing your hard work finally bear fruit is amazing. I can't count how many times i've seen modders discouraged from attempting projects because other people think they are biting off more than they can chew. I know that if I would have announced this project when I was just beginning, I fear I would have received similar remarks from some. The thing is that you very well might be over your head, and thats ok! Failure doesn't have to be the end of the road, it can be a stepping stone to better things if you learn something along the way and apply it the next go around. At least that's how I see it 😅. Anyways I apologize for rambling on, I'll sign off for now!

    Sorry it took so long but as I said before, I have very little time with my main computer now. Here are some screenshots of some hilts that I have but I dont see around in mod sites. REMEMBER: those are not mine and I am uploading just screenshots, remember this if you see an image and find out that the mod is yours. The hilts are: -The two of Ahsoka from clone wars -Darth Bane's(the fan made using the novels as basis, not the official that ignores the novel description) -Ben Solo from episode 8(the only good thing of that movie if you ask me) -A generic curved hilt -A double bladed curved similar to Asajj Ventress -A generic double -Exar Kun double bladed (but being held as if it is a single hilt) -Kanan's from rebels -Rahm Kota's from the force unleashed game -Malak's official hilt -Darth Malgus's from swtor -Maul's from rebels (it even has a cane version, that I give to Kreia at the begining of the game) -A generic lightsaber pike -A variation of Revan's from swtor -Satele double bladed from the swtor cinematics -Savafe Opres's from clone wars -The spinning lightsaber of the inquisitor from rebels -And the temple guard double bladed

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