View File Manaan Fast Travel system Main idea Has the time it takes to get from one end of Ahto City to the other ever seemed too long ? Has it ever annoyed you ? If so, this mod is exactly what you need. It adds a custom speeder, using LoneWanderer’s modder resource, to every part of the city, allowing you to traverse it in seconds. This mod is more an add-on to Capitaine Spoque’s Taris Rapid Transit System than a standalone one. Thus, to get the best game experience and as I used some of his sound files, you will first have to download his mod. You can find it here : https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/1666 However, if for some reason you don’t want it, you have 2 options : 1) You won’t have power on and off sounds for the speeder, even though it will still be enjoyable, don’t worry. 2) You download Capitaine Spoque’s mod but you do not install it on your game installation. You will instead go to his tslpatchdata folder, take the In.wav and out.wav files and put them in your streamwaves folder. Then you will have the power on and off sounds. I recommend copying these 2 files somewhere near my mod's location in case you need to reinstall it. After having done that, you can delete the rest of his mod from your computer. To give more realism to my mod, and in order to having a better insertion into the game, I added a new line to the security selkath who opens you the door to the city, as well as some directly on the speeders. You will have to load a save before entering Ahto City. Starting a game where you are in the docking bay module (and in which you’ve never been further into the city) should be good. Installation 1) Make sure you have Capitaine Spoque's mod installed, unless you don't want to use it 2) Download mine and unzip it (small tip if you’re struggling : use 7-Zip) 3) Run the installer and follow the instructions given by it 4) This is where you will do the option 2 steps given in the Main section if you really don’t want to use Capitaine Spoque’s mod. 5) You’re good to go. If you enjoy the mod (or even if you didn't, as long as it's constructive), feel free to leave a review. Doesn’t cost much and is really appreciated. To uninstall this mod, you will have to do what HoloPatcher put in the "backup" folder when you downloaded the mod (taking MOD and 2DA backup files, putting them back in your game installation, and removing my mod's files from Override and streamwaves). You can also delete the In and out .wav files from streamwaves if you didn't use Capitaine Spoque's mod. Compatibility My mod is fully compatible with K1CP, as it is now (in 2025) the main reference for modders. It probably won't be compatible with K1R because it adds a row to placeables.2da which has a limit of rows, and from what I've understood K1R uses all of them. Apart from that, it will basically be compatible with everything as long as your placeable.2da has less than 255 rows filled (which should always be the case because apart from K1R, no mod adds as many rows to this file as it would require to reach the limit). furthermore, as I used HoloPatcher to modify the .2da and .mod files directly in your game installation, and also named my files with the most customized names I could, you shouldn’t have any conflict with mods you already have installed. However, if for some reason you encounter any issue, feel free to report to me. Thanks 1) SAO, who generously gave me a base for the mod, that I just had to improve and make compatible with HoloPatcher. 2) Capitaine Spoque for his brilliant Taris Rapid Transit System, as well as the help he brought. Thanks for teaching me how to modify MOD and GIT files, and how to set up the Patcher properly. 3) LoneWanderer for his awesome speeder port from SWTOR 4) All the amazing people who made the awesome tools I used for this mod : Holocron Toolset, Kotor Scripting Tool, ChangeEdit and HoloPatcher. 5) The KOTOR and, more precisely, DeadlyStream community (even more precisely, those who download the mod 😁), as the game is still alive thanks to all of you. Permissions If you need to know more, please contact me on DeadlyStream or Discord KOTOR / DeadlyStream server : “The_Chaser_One”.

God damn. That's a late response.

I think it's because he didn't get the trigger for the HK factory quest. I just did a playthrough where I didn't get the cutscene where HK-47 tortures the HK-50 and all that happened when I finished the Ravager was I was in the Ebon Hawk and it was in hyperspace. That's probably one trigger for this glitch.

I actually didn't know that. Nice one. However, I still think the best place to ask important questions is at the bottom of that page ( https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2739-manaan-rapid-transit-system/?tab=comments ) in the comments section. Then you just have to scroll down instead of clicking a button. It's not a big deal, but beginners like me might not know that this "Get support" button is actually important. I always look at the Reviews / Comments section first and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Hello! Thanks for the answer! I always used to ask my querstions clicking on the "Get Support" button that every released modification gets when they are published. It automatically takes me here. Perhaps it is not the right place, but in that case, which page is right? Cheers!

Hey @Salk , glad you like it ! For the textures, there are several main reasons : 1) Actual reasons : - I wanted to use @LoneWanderer's modders' resource's SWTOR speeders as I thought they looked great - The yellow taxi was looking bad with Manaan colors imo ; Furthermore, from what I've understood, Ahto City and Manaan have basically 2 main colors : blue and white / grey. Thus, the choice of model was quite obvious. - As you said, the yellow taxi, when compared to Capitaine Spoque's mod, could imply that you would have to pay. I have included plot explanations for why it is free, for more realism. 2) Plot reason : - The speeder, in my interpretation / explanation, could be built by an Ahto City's official public company, which is why the security selkath now has his new line. Therefore, the speeders' colors should match the city's. I have my own question though. Why don't you comment directly on the mod's page ? This way, more people would see your comment as well as my answer ! Have a nice day/evening !

The Nikto creatures do not use the textures from the swoop riders, they are separate Same for the swoop bike textures, they are separate from the ones from the placeables. "LTS" tag refers to Taris textures, which are part of the model geometry. The riders are from the level geometry and have nothing to do with creatures or appearance.2da. Same for the bikes, they have nothing to do with placeable.2da. It'd be great to have the K2 swoop displayed, but i don't know how to create lightmaps for models that do not have them by default. That's why I used the swoop bike from the Ebon Hawk there. I didnt play K2 so much, if you happend to know if there is a place in TSL where the swoop bike is displayed, i can reuse the model and the lightmap. Otherwise, I can't introduce it atm, my skills are still kinda limited ^^

The nostalgia bug recently bit me and I thought it might be fun to play some KOTOR2, with mods of course! After a bit of tinkering I think I have a working mod set up running on Linux. I thought that my experience might be useful to someone else attempting to install mods on Linux or a maybe a Steam Deck. A fair warning though, I have not had time to play test yet beyond running around on Peragus so there could be issues that I haven't discovered or steps that I forgot that I did. I'll try to update if I run in to any issue but I'm not promising anything, I have a nasty habit of spending days modding a game only to never actually play it when I'm done! First install the native Linux version of KOTOR2:TSL from steam Next download the latest KOTORModSync (currently 1.0.2) https://github.com/th3w1zard1/KOTORModSync - linux-x64.zip - KOTOR.Modbuilds.Rev10.zip (Contains KOTOR2_Full.toml modlist we will be using) The install directly can be found at ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Knights of the Old Republic II/ All regular game assets are in the subdirectory 'steamassets', this is where mods will be installed, not in the main game install directory Run the game once to make sure it runs properly, I'm using Arch Linux with Hyprland(Wayland compositor) so I needed to add 'SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%' to my launch commands to get it to run properly. The kotor2.ini found in the steamassets directory is not used, delete it. The correct kotor2.ini is found at ~/.local/share/aspyr-media/kotor2/swkotor2.ini Create a symlink to it in the steamassets directory ln -s ~/.local/share/aspyr-media/kotor2/swkotor2.ini swkotor2.ini Backup you KOTOR2 directory in case you make a mistake: tar zcvf kotor2.tar.gz Knights\ of\ the\ Old\ Republic\ II You can restore with rm Knights\ of\ the\ Old\ Republic\ II tar zxvf kotor2.tar.gz Open KOTORModSync and load the installation file (KOTOR2_Full.toml) Create a directory to store mods in (I use ~/Games/KOTOR2Mods/) Go through the mod list and download each mod to you mod directory from the link. Make sure to download The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod as a zip from the google drive link and not the regular exe installer. There are also a few cases where if you download a mod form ModNexus instead of DeadlyStream the name of the zip file will not be correct and needs to be renamed. As of writing this there are 2 issues with this mod list, this first one is with 'Reflective Lightsaber Blades' (New_Lightsaber_Blade_Model_TSL). currently the included version of Holopatcher has issues reading info.rtf files with non UTF-8 encoding and a error window will pop up. This does not actually appear to affect the installation of the mod and can be ignored. This issue will be fixed in the next relese. The second issue is with 'Improved AI' and requires some work. For some reason the zip file you download contains the mod compressed into a self extracting 7z file. KOTORModSync does currently not appear to be able to extract self extracting 7z files on Linux. My Solution was to extract the mod manually, repack it as a 7z file and alter the install instructions (7z on linux can handle 7z SFX exe files just fine). unzip imporvedai.zip cd Improved\ AI/ 7z x Modified\ AI.exe 7z a ModifiedAI.7z Modified\ AI Move the new 7z file to you mod dir and change the mod install instructions to: 1. Extract <<modDirectory>>\ModifiedAI.7z 2. TSLPatcher <<modDirectory>>\ModifiedAI\Modified AI\Install AI Tweak.exe 1 Set your mod directories. Mod Location is the mod dir you created (~/Games/KOTOR2Mods/ for me) and Kotor Directory should be '~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Knights of the Old Republic II/steamassets/' - Run pre install validation, if there are any issues detected you will need to fix them. You can find a log file in the KOTORModSync directory that can help you troubleshoot issues. - Choose 'Mock case-insensitive filesystem' - Run 'Fix duplicate files/folders' - Click 'Start the install' and cross your fingers, hopefully you set up everything correctly and installing mods should complete successfully. This takes quite a while. - All files in steamassets need to be lowercase, in some cases files installed by the mod will have uppercase lettering. There is probably a better solution but I created the following script and ran it in each directory that contained files that needed to be renamed. Be VERY careful not to run it from any other directory: # !/bin/bash for file in *; do #Suppresses all errors as not to spam errors when file does not need to be renamed mv -v "$file" "$(echo $file | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')" 2>/dev/null done I was going to try and use Reshade shaders with vkBasalt but unfortunately that was to much for my poor laptop's integrated graphics but it did seem like vkBasalts SMAA anti-aliasing worked better the KOTOR2's build in AA so I stuck with it. To get vkBasalt to work with KOTOR2 on my set up I need to run it through gamescope. Install gamescope, I'm using gamescope-git from AUR but regular gamescope from extra my work for you. If you're trying to follow this guide on a steamdeck you should already be using gmescope. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamescope Once you've installed gamescope add 'gamescope -h 1080 -H 1080 -f -- %command%' to your steam launch options and make sure you can launch the game Install vkBasalt fro AUR yay -S vkbasalt copy the default vkbasalt config file to your KOTOR2 dir cp /usr/share/vkBasalt/vkBasalt.conf.example .local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Knights\ of\ the\ Old\ Republic\ II/vkBasalt.conf Enable SMAA and whatever else you want (I you are going to give reshade shaders a try then the best source of shaders seems to be here: https://github.com/gripped/vkBasalt-working-reshade-shaders) effects = cas:smaa Enable vkBasalt by adding 'ENABLE_VKBASALT=1 VKBASALT_LOG_FILE="vkBasalt.log"' to your steam launch options. My finally launch options look like this: SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 ENABLE_VKBASALT=1 VKBASALT_LOG_FILE="vkBasalt.log" gamescope -h 1080 -H 1080 -f -- %command% And that's it! I hope this will be of some use to somebody

As you might know, fog is not working or at least not working properly in Aspyr's 2016 Steam patch for KotOR 2: TSL. An official fix for this issue doesn't seem to be in sight but luckily HappyFunTimes101 wrote a fix himself. To show the issue with the 2016 patch, here's a comparison between the Steam and the GOG version: As you can see, the fog is really screwed up in the latest Steam version while all other versions (4CD, DVD, gog, Steam legacy) look the same as the "gog picture". In other areas, the issue is not as visible when the fog is completely missing in the Steam version, but if you compare the two versions it's easy to see. And finally, here's what it looks like with HappyFunTImes101's fix applied: One more comparison, taken from the Ravager where the fog is not present at all in the Steam version: Additionally HappyFunTimes101 provides a completely new speed blur effect to get rid of that headache causing blur in the vanilla game while keeping some visual effect: It's a little hard to see on a still frame but if you compare the last two pictures, you can see that the edges of the screen are warped while running with Force Speed active. I really like that new effect, but it's optional when installing the fog fix, so it's up to you to decide whether you want it or not. Which brings me to the important part: How to install the fix First of all, here's the Read-Me. But I'll provide easier to follow instructions, originally taken from a reddit post by TonyKaku but slightly edited: Go here and download the contents of the Release folder. Copy them in your main KotOR 2 directory. If you don't want the changed speed effect, go to KotOR 2 directory \ shaders_override and delete fp_speedblur.txt. Start the game You should now have two folders called shaders_original and shadow_override in your KOTOR folder. Go into the shaders_original folder and open the first file with a program like Notepad++ locate the line that says "MOV result.color, r0" (second to last line usually) right above that line paste the content of the quote under "Fog Issue" that starts with PARAM p =.... Your file should look like this. Repeat this step for every text file in the folder that has the MOV result.color, r0 line (these are all files starting with fp). That can take some time and there might be ways to automate the process but explaining it might take so long that you're probably just better off doing the whole thing manually. After you pasted this into every file that has the MOV result.color, r0 line near the end, copy all text files into the shader_override folder. Launch the game, the fog should now be fixed This fix is definitely a big step forward for the usability of the Steam patch, which I always avoided due to issues like these. It's up to you to decide if it's easier to fix the fog in the Steam version or to get widescreen support in a different version but it's definitely a good thing to have this patch available. Maybe this fix can even be expanded to include the missing saber hilt textures (if that's even a shader issue). A big thanks to TonyKaku for posting this on the kotor reddit or I wouldn't have found it. To the moderators: I wasn't sure if that qualifies as a tutorial, so I posted it in the general section. If it is, please just move it or maybe just pin it so that the information doesn't get lost. Thank you Edit: I tried to apply the speed effect change to the older TSL version and to K1, but it's not as easy as I hoped it would be. The shader identified as the speed shader in shader_ident.txt just doesn't exist in these versions of K1/TSL so it can't be overwritten that way either. I assume it would be possible by editing the OpenGL32.dll file but I just don't know how to do that.

Dear Deadlystream comunity, I've been reviewing my personnal repositories on github recently and thought you would appreciate me putting in public my KotOR Savegame Editor repository: https://github.com/nadrino/kotor-savegame-editor. This version has been "forked" from the latest release of @Fair Strides (Deadlystream link). I quote "forked" as the source code had not properly been released on a dedicated git repository, so the original perl code was extracted directly from the archive. I remember having a couple of discussions with Fair Strides, but I never really had time to do a public release. This version adds a couple of very useful features that weren't present in the origianl KSE code: - Adding screenshot display when selecting a savegame // muuuch easier to find the save you're looking for! - Ability to change the player position: X, Y, Z // YES it is possible! Altough you need to put coordinates that are valid (see blue areas with Kotor Toolset maps) - Ability to read and modify the doors on the maps - Ability to read and modify the inventory of the placeables - Ability to read and modify the inventory of the stores - Adding Creatures section under Area - Adding full support for ASPYR kotor versions (linux/macos) - Adding compatibily with compressed ASPYR save files (Nintendo Switch version) // those file are actually just simply compressed - A couple of bug fixes and optimizations while reading/writing your savegame files Hope you will enjoy this fresh version of the good old KSE 😄 EDIT: For everybody to get access to this version, one of the staff member could create a dedicated dowload page for it 😊 Cheers, Nadrino

I like this one as a replacement for I_Mask_006, more than the fighter pilot type mask with the hoses above. (Though I do like that mask ...)

Another breath mask option: There's a lot of fixing required for some of these due to backface culling issues.

Hello, @The_Chaser_One. Congratulations on this new release. I will be glad to check it out once I reach Manaan during my playtesting (it may be a while), but I have a question: what was the reason for using a different texture than the classic yellow taxi texture used in Capitaine Spoque’s Taris Rapid Transit System? I want to say that the new texture is quite pretty, too. It was just a curiosity. Is it perhaps because the service is free and the yellow taxi texture would sort of imply that the Player should pay for it? Cheers!
