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

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) :

Yes, unfortunately the "add column to .2da files and make them work" has always been a modding pipedream. 😔

What the heck, I never did anything with my sad attempt years ago, perhaps one of you will do better. I was hoping someone might make landing and take off videos for deathdisco's Jedi Temple mod. A simple bullet point list of suggestions: Use any music from KOTOR, TSL, or SWTOR that fits your videos. Use this skybox mod for the skybox. Have the Ebon Hawk fly past either (or both) of these windows . . . completely optional: also add these 3 additional textures to your Override folder as well If you're checking out this thread and you also don't have the ability to make movies, why not drop a like on this post to let people know you're interested in this request?

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!!!!!!!

Nothing compared to how long another much anticipated modification has been brewing. 😁

I can appreciate that updating the lightmaps to better ones is a pain. I was merely pointing out that I had the impression the perhaps the original work was not that good.

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).

It's 100% something I forgot to remove, though the HoloPatcher doesn't do anything with it so all it's doing is occupying space in the zip file.

Ah, I guess that's probably been fixed now then! My bad. It could all use a little more work but I was unsure on how to handle some things, such as the Arch which I didn't repair as there was no rubble from it, so I figured that it is possible that it was damaged prior to the events of K1.

The file has been updated.

Those scripts are not right, so I'm not surprised that Tamlen is not actually doing anything. There are several other critical issues with this modification in the current state, including a pletheora of missing references in the modified .git file. Resources need importing from K2. On top of that, the original m35aa.vis file needs to be edited to account for the added rooms. With some extra polishing, this will be a great addition to the game.

It could very well be a global problem as I got the animation script from the Sith in the Manaan Hangar modules, the one you meet Ithorak in. Not right now. I think there should be one for the Library, the hall is long enough to have a proper patrol go through it. These should be the decompiled scripts from the mod, the first one controls animations and the second one directs the NPC to face the computers. k_pkor_ambient01.nss k_pkor_ambient02.nss I could add that in, yes. Thank you for reminding me of that mod.

KBlender will automatically load all referenced textures as long as you have defined the texture locations in its settings under Edit -> Preferences -> Add-Ons: You can specify multiple folders separated by a semi-colon ( ; ).

I found a different workaround. By adding an effect that can be checked for, but that does not seem to have any actual impact (and if working as intended, an absolutely miniscule one), I can check for the effect and prevent re-application after all. The effect in question being EffectMissChance with a value of 1 (meaning 1%) - which is actually incorrectly detected as "EFFECT_TYPE_CONCEALMENT", but alas that works anyway. I also checked, it does not clash with disguises being worn or stealth being active. Still it's really ugly, a shame I didn't find a better way. I wish we had some reverse engineer geniuses that patched the engine, like other lucky games found over the years. Thanks! Not just in combat. k_ai_master is run for basically everything. All the OnDefHeartbeat, OnHenHeartbeat etc. just call k_ai_master with the parameter of their respective portion (switch case) of the solitary function in k_ai_master.

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.

Yeah, kind of. It's a really strange issue I haven't encountered in other programming situations, since the NSS scripting in KotOR is extraordinarily limited even in its most basic parts compared to writing ordinary code. I have not tested non-party NPCs, though I assume they would be impacted by saves or module transitions of the player the same way.

View File KotOR1 Random Panels KotOR1 Random Panels AUTHOR: Sith Holocron ORIGINAL RELEASE: 15 NOV 2024 UPDATED RELEASE: 21 NOV 2024 GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Description: While recuperating after open heart surgery, I needed a small project to keep me occupied. Something relatively stress-free so I could go about the work without getting to frustrated. I landed on redoing some of the panels for the various planets that *mostly* tend to look the same with minor difference in coloring. I settled on the panels included here. There are separate downloads for each game but some of the textures appear in both as Obsidian did reuse some of the textures. Installation: Drop the TGA files and TXI files into your Override. My textures have been labeled with their names on the download page so if there's one that you don't particularly care for, don't drop that one into your Override folder. If using another texture pack that includes identically named textures (whether they are TGA, TGA with TXI, or a TPC file), remove those from your Override before putting mine in. Uninstallation: Take the files you put in, out again. Known Bugs: None known at this time. Legal Disclaimer: All materials and copyrights belong to LucasArts, BioWare and Obsidian Entertainment Inc. I own none of the materials, and I'm not making any money out of this mod. It is to be distributed as-is without alteration.. This mod is not to be distributed for profit, either.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Can you send your spells.2da from your override folder / show a screenshot of the bottom lines please?

Your feelings on the matter aside, this is a thread in the mod request section reflecting a specific mod request which your project doesn't adhere to. This is the kind of project you should show off and discuss in a WIP thread of your own, rather than in a related but ultimately incompatible mod request.

You are such a buzzkill SH. It's applicable because I said I might make one, you need to stop being so passive aggressive and generally hostile.

I've given it a good go, by no means perfect... I've posted it as a full release in the Skins section. (Pending Approval)
