I was wondering if anyone would be willing to add glass overlays to these upscaled Nar Shaddaa windows for me. These would be for personal use but obviously anyone could download them off this request page if they chose to. For illustration purposes I have attached these textures as PNGs but to save you some time, I've also made a DropBox link here where these textures are in TGA format. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

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!

Little demo for this morning, showing off FreeCam in both games:

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 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 this? 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 Reddit server, as well as 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. Both the XML and SARIF formats have some limitations, unfortunately they are the best I can do without publicly sharing Bioware intellectual property. If there is something missing from these that you are in need of, please reach out and I can see if I can help you. (Note: I will not be abetting piracy though. Buy the damn game, it goes on sale all the time) Google Drive Link Here

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

Ran a quick test, porting Revan's lightsaber over to KotOR from TOR. May look at putting a little mod together which makes this the lightsaber you get on Dantooine at the end of your training, rather than the generic one. Could always deposit the other crystals elsewhere too, for those who like some variety and don't want to stick with their class colour.

Watching your progress on this very closely. This is the most exciting thing in KotOR modding in a long time in my opinion. The placeables extension is fantastic, would like to see the same thing for the galaxy map as I know it has a similar limit. Also transcending the limits of appearance.2da would be amazing although I know this probably requires a huge amount of manual effort.

Another little demo: Here I show off directly accessing 2DA values from scripts

What do you mean by "future skill checks"? There are already skill checks in dialogue that add more skill based dialogue responses should said skill be a certain level. So this is the Loganverse team's latest rebrand I take it? As SH has already said, they seldom collaborate with others or share their own assets with modders. I had no idea who this is, I tried searching for them on YouTube and the only thing that came up was a Let's Play channel. The thing about Kotor Machiminas is that what you see on screen isn't as deep or as complex as the scene itself depicts. You might see an awesome scene with combat and the like but in reality what's going on behind the scenes is that NPCs are being directed to do things via JC's Toolbox and what you might think is an epic cutscene might actually be 5 separate choppy in-game cutscenes that were recorded and edited together to look like one scene when in reality they aren't. When it comes to any sort of animation, what isn't seen on screen doesn't need to be animated - this is especially true with 3D animation. I say this because something that might look cool in a Machimina might not actually work properly in-game as a mod. Remember how Revan and Kreia used Darth Malak's Lightsaber pose? In-game the ability to use blasters, the ability to use security on a door, or dialogue animations might be broken as those were never seen in the movie and thus could be left broken. Even if you ignore the fact that SWST and Varkor take their time making VO, there only value as voice actors for the ROR mod is for the character Revan and we aren't even up to writing that character's dialogue let alone finalizing his script. There will definitely be voice acted characters before Revan, so why would we want famous examples like SWST and Varkor for those characters when we can have unsung actors play these roles and do a good job at those roles (and not take 3-5 years to produce the lines for those roles too). And should by some miracle we do finish the entire mod and get to voicing Revan should these two be unable, unwilling, or no longer be here to voice the character we will inevitably have to look for different people. We are working on Episode Two and the patch for Episode One, though SH is right in saying that a collaboration at this stage is very very unlikely. I can assure you, work for Episode Two is well underway and it is going well without a major collaboration at this present time.

An update for my Galaxy of Faces mod. Ithorians have been added: The Dark Harbinger, Wound in the Force, and Dread Cyborg mods now serve as the basis for the Dark Side Ending's Dark Jedi Masters. The HD Soul Patch Man of @ScrierOne was used for Holdan's new head whilst Effixian's Alternative Atton Clothing was used for his new body. The head was retextured so that it looks as if Holdan does Spice whenever he's not running jobs for Davik or harassing waitresses' in the Lower City Cantina. The status of permission in regards to ScrierOne's work comes from the Nexusmods page for the head which states the following: Despite these terms clearly stating I do not have to credit him, I still want people to know that it was his awesome mod which brought you this awesome appearance. Gorton Colu also comes with a new head, one that was made by me, and should you use the NPC Diversity Pack with Galaxy of Faces Gorton will wear a Military Suit and will bear the face of a militaristic Fascist: And Ajunta Pall has been given a new appearance, though he will be added via a standalone mod which will be found at this link once it is approved: Feel free to let me know what you think of these recent developments!

This is an addon tool which resides in the side panel. Tested for Blender 4.2 and latest KotORBlender. I made this mainly for myself for working with the world mdl files to add and fix issues with foliage, but it can serve a purpose for just working with .mdl in general. I guess the image says what it does, but overall it will be good for newbies (such as myself) but maybe also to others. The "Pre-Flight" is handy if you used KBlender and you never got it to export anything (i saw some comments about that on the KBlender page). There are quite a few criterias that has to be met, and it fixes those. "Add unique node numbers" is also good, you can add 100's of objects and then just click it and it will add unique numbers, very boring to do manually. This is 100% AI written code. So errors, bugs, not doing something correctly or as expected, garbage coding, that can absolutely be a thing. If you want something added to it that you think would be convenient to have when you are working with the world files or mdl files in general, then let me know and i can try to add it. I tried adding a 1-click to do a walk mesh for an object, spent 2 full days on that, it just doesnt work. Same with doing Lightmaps, spent many days on that and got nowhere. But other than those two it seems to have gotten things right, as far as i can tell. If you are good at .py or prompting AI's for code, then get in touch and maybe you could help adding lightmap or walkmesh functions to it. VTools.py Edit Added the .py, just install it like you do for any add-on.

Happy Birthday, SH!

How can you import a model from KOTOR 1 to KOTOR 2 and vice-versa? I understand that you need to use MDLOPs or MDLEdit, and then a 3d model software like blender with the add-ons available for download on this site, but I don't understand what steps actually need to be taken to make the model files from one game readable by the other game.

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.

i'll take a look at it. unfortunately these are some of the harder textures to make, i might do a pure upscale instead.

Amazing work! You managed to break down so much limitations... This is extremely exciting :)

These are all 3D models, 1000'ish trees has been placed on the various room meshes, though many of them are simplistic 2D plane trees in a "X" shape (to look like trees from all angles). the big pine-like(?) tree is a full 3D model though. I have like 6 full 3D trees, various plants and bushes which are also full 3D models, then i have these which i can use in the backgrounds, usually quite far away from the player so he can't get too close to them, often placed on top of hills and cliffs:

I'm not satisfied of the mesh thats all

Feel free to join the Discord for my project if you need help with anything related to KotOR modding and I will do my best to assist. Discord : https://discord.gg/S3YyfTjMV8 Base Game Scripts & How To Use Them KotOR Modding - Crash Course This 2 hour stream covers the basics of KotOR modding and some of the programs involved, I also regularly stream development of my mod project on Twitch/YouTube. Not all of this covers KotOR modding, there is about 10-20 minutes during the first hour where I get distracted and the second hour of it is mostly me playing games. These are the testing rooms but for K1 the room is lacking a texture but I find this just makes it easier to look through the characters. If anything in any of my short tutorials isn't clear or you don't understand for some reason then let me know and I will do what I can to help. ADVANCED TUTORIALS Utilising the following batch scripts and suggestions might take a while to get to grips with for some users but I would always advise doing so, it's very handy to have the ability to quickly generate a file list or compare things in various ways utilising the power of batch scripting. Comparing Level Contents Let's say you have two levels and you need to compare the differences of the contents. Extract everything from the original level to a folder called "level-a" and the modified folder to "level-b" Run the following batch script inside the "level-a" folder. file-list.bat Then delete or move the .bat file and move "file-list.txt" that it just created outside of the folder. You can also use this script to check that all the files exist. check-if-file-exists-from-file-list.bat You will have to move the file-list.txt and this script inside the folder to run the script. Now run this script at the same location as "file-list.txt" to run a file check against the contents of both folders. compare-files-from-file-list.bat Hopefully this might help someone, where I recently had to transfer all of my changes from manual installs to a TSLPatcher changes.ini file, I found this process helped speed the process up a little bit. From here, you should know which files differ and you can then use ChangeEdit.exe that comes with TSLPatcher in order to generate the differences between GFF files. Compiling Scripts If you have made it this far into the tutorial, you should already be familiar with compiling scripts, however for large projects you might need to recompile a lot of scripts at once, so here is a batch script that I used to do it. compile.bat Simply edit the script so that it points to the location of nwnnsscomp.exe for you and then you will be able to put the script into any folder that you need to compile a lot of scripts in and use it to do it all at once. If the scripts don't work for you, you might need to edit them and read them a bit in order to understand them and then to make sure that you have all of the right files in the right places. Thor110
