I got it now. Been able to extract and install it with the help of 7-zip. Thanks

Late answer, but this could be a possibility ye depending on how much content in introduced in my mod. However, it would require a lot of balancing for the enemies. Raising to 30 could already be pretty cool. We'll see how things go as time goes by

Per @th3w1zard1 , co-author of pyKotor and HoloPatcher: It's a rare unused feature of TSLPatcher that's off by default. HoloPatcher has it enabled. Basically tells you if a mod installs to a module directly (.rim/.erf/.mod) when it'd be 'shadowed' by a higher priority file existing in Override. See: https://github.com/th3w1zard1/PyKotor/wiki/Explanations-on-HoloPatcher-Internal-Logic#the-patch-loop Part of step 5. In other words, a mod has injected a file into a module (MOD), but a file in the Override will supersede it. On an unrelated note, why the hell is your game installed in the Users folder?

Been chatting with a few community members, and I've been asked to share some of the other binaries I've come across. Attached below are the binary executables for Kotor 1 Mac, Kotor 2 Mac, Kotor 1 Android, Kotor 1 Xbox XKOTOR KOTOR2sub libKOTOR.so default.xbe

I agree, it's the weak point of the games, how immensely dead and empty the areas are, but i do think TSL takes the cake. I am working on my game right now, but i will get back to modding when i'm sick of it lol

I would like to mention my favorite project in this regard. It's unfortunately still far from being complete, but it has much going for itself already. I'm talking of redrob41's upscale. He's released a K2 version, too.

I reckon 99% of texture mods are compatible with K1R (the first restored content mod for Kotor I) and the RC-K1CP mod (the second restored content mod that was made for the K1 Community Patch which is a massive bug fix mod for the game) so there shouldn't be any worries there Define "collection". There are large texture pack mods that covers thousands of textures including NPCs, UI, areas, weapons, icons, and such. The problem with large texture packs like this is what makes them so rare, so here are the problems: 1) File Size: A single super-mega texture pack that covers everything is going to either take up gigabytes or terabytes on your hard drive. I personally wouldn't want to download such a large mod and so I would avoid said mod in favor of smaller, individual texture mods. As a modder, I wouldn't want players to avoid my mod due to the file size and I certainly wouldn't want to have to wait hours zipping a 50 gigabyte texture mod so I'd opt to make my texture mods separate from one another. 2) Biases: We all wouldn't download a texture mod if we didn't like the design of said texture mod. Let's say if I were to make a single super-mega texture pack and every NPC looked like this and you didn't like this design then you aren't going to download and play my mod. This is another reason why modders don't usually compile all of their textures into one big mod because if my single super-mega texture pack contained A, B, C, X, Y, and Z and you didn't like C and Y then you aren't downloading the mod. What you'll usually see is modders uploading texture mods that cover a specific area and it becomes up to you, the player, to pick and choose what textures you want. Have I mentioned AI? As AI has become a widely available tool, you'll notice how some mods are now utilizing AI to make new textures from scratch whether it be using AI to upscale the low-res textures or feeding the textures into an AI to "reinterpret" them. Whatever you think of AI can also make or break a specific texture mod for you, and I assure you there are entire collections like what you're looking for that are made using AI. The modder Dark Hope is a popular texture artist who does exactly what you want. The only downside is that you have to go to her page and manually download her mods to get the full package. If you do download all of her mods and install them, however, you'll be given a seamless and consistent upgrade for much of the base game's graphics. This is the person who makes the ultra-HD ultra-realistic textures for NPCs, armors, and other textures, if you were to install them all than about 70% of the NPCs shall be in this consistent new design. Her work is still ongoing, and so she is still working on textures that'll be released in the future. Do note that her first language is Russian, that is why many of her mod names are weird as she's translating them directly from Russian. The Ultimate Character Overhaul is an AI upscaled texture pack that upscales all of the textures into a higher resolution. Unlike Dark Hope's mods, this mod maintains the Kotor aesthetic whilst improving the texture quality of the NPCs giving them a fresh/crisp look. Vurt's KotOR Visual Resurgence is probably as close as you're going to get to one big single super-mega texture pack mod that is one download and one install, however, all of the problems I listed above apply. It's a 2 gigabyte download and it'll be even bigger when you extract it and it's made by using AI to reinterpret the textures. If you are fine with both of those, this can be the mod for you. But as I said, players usually download smaller mods and use them side by side. You can download Vurt's KotOR Visual Resurgence, install it, and then replace his textures with textures from smaller mods so that, in the end, you are using 20% of Vurt's mods whilst the remaining 80% is made up of a variety of different mods. Personally, I like to install Dak's Endar Spire Retexture and then pick out and add ONLY the animated textures from the ENDAR SPIRE Complete Overhaul on top of it. Though the idea of mixing texture mods is a bit risky, especially for a noobie, so I wouldn't recommend it. The point being is that no two players are going to agree on what is good, what is bad, what is right, and what is wrong, and sometimes the big single super-mega texture pack mod isn't the answer if you disagree with the design the author was going for. You should check out the the Mod Builds that is maintained by one of our Admins. The mods on this list for both games are highly tested and are compatible with one another, this can serve as a sort of catalogue as to what mods exist without going through Deadlystream's and NexusMod's entire library of mods.

I've been doing heavy development on a new version of the Holocron Toolset. This is a comprehensive and significant refactor and partial rewrite. Version v4.0.0 is now available for beta testing. Anyone wishing to try it may run one of the commands below depending on your OS, which will always launch the latest version retroactively: **Windows (PowerShell)** ```pwsh powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"; uvx holocrontoolset ``` **Linux / macOS (bash/zsh)** ```bash curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh && uvx holocrontoolset ```c Please post bugs in the kotor toolset's official discord: https://discord.gg/34QZKtThkU. Here you will also find our announcements, be able to post suggestions to recommend new features, and stay up to date with announcements. Source code as always will be available on <https://github.com/th3w1zard1/PyKotor>. Bugs may be posted here as well. If you prefer KOTOR tool or other options for comprehensive parsers and editors I suppose you may ignore this post completely and enjoy your day as normal. Otherwise suggestions, feature requests, and bug reports are appreciated to be able to further improvement of these modding tools for all. Thanks.

I was just wondering since I'm sure the question will arise. I'm not sure I'd ever use it myself given I don't "play" the game anyway these days, I just do beta testing for K1CP and the occasional personal mod.

Today's little demo: This patch was originally put together by @LanguageWriter123 (see here). He and I worked together to see what it would take to port this over, and today I decided to give it a shot, and I'm very pleased with the results! cc @darthbdaman as you asked about level caps earlier

Hello there fellow modders! Inspired by Thor modding tutorial series (extremely useful ressource!), I decided to help people out there but with a more visual approach to the process. Here is my youtube playlist with my current tutorials currently covering Holocron Toolset and basic module edition, Basics about Blender/KotorBlender and texture editing : Youtube Tutorials Playlist . My next tutorial will be about converting models from K2 to K1, or the opposite operation, using MdlEdit. Know that I'll be streaming next week as well on my youtube channel (either on Friday or Saturday night) and it will basically be for people to ask whatever they'd like me to cover regarding modding. I hope i can help some people out sharing my modding knowledge Cheers!

import to blender, for TSL, tick the checkbox for TSL at export.

CapitaineSpoque, how about integrating LevelCapMod (50) into your mod? I mean this: https://deadlystream.com/topic/11814-kotor-1-level-cap-mod-to-level-50 It seems to me that given the expected character balance changes/new abilities in your mod, synchronizing these improvements with possible larger-scale upgrades (up to level 50) could give KotOR a fundamentally new gaming experience.

I really like the new reskin, specially the stone and lightning textures. I would add a little more color in the hallways, but that is just my personal opinion. I also like that you made Assasins have lightsabers, perhaps you could diversify them further if some of them had dual sabers (even one normal length and one short). And I still think some rooms could have more placeables (like the antechambers to the training room in front of the archives), or some placeables shuffled from the Dantooine enclave layout (for example, I think the dorm room with the lockboxes is the exact same one as the one in the Jedi Enclave, that could be changed to be more distinct), although I don't know if that is in the scope of the mod.

It was because the changes.INI of this mod incorrectly use / instead of \ for GFF patching - basically with all modules [which I assume they could've been broken in some ways]. If you're able and/or have enough patience you can try change them to the latter [\]. Edit: or use Notepad++'s Find-Replace All feature. Find an instance of Modules/ and then batch-replace with Modules\ - that should do it. For example: Before !Destination=Modules/ship.mod After !Destination=Modules\ship.mod Granted, when I was started playing and/or trying to mod this game I know there's a "workaround" [which I'm not sure if it's actually working or not, as I've never been able to reach that part of the game this mod does] to bypass the installation - that you can execute the installer from the game's main directory. But please, don't do that as you know how to do it properly now, hahah.
