Thought I already uploaded this here but I forgot so if anyone is interested here you go! The readme's in the zipped files are outdate. Please refer to the standalone ReadMe file or the below instructions regarding instalaltions. To install: *Steps 3 and 4 may not be necessary, try running without doing them first, but if the game crashes do steps 3+ 4 and try again.* 1: Drop all files except readme.txt swkotor.ini files and upcrystals.2da into override folder. 2: A) If you don't an upcrystals.2da file in your override folder, just copy the one provided into your override folder. If you do already have an upcrystals.2da file in your override folder, - Insert a new row at the end of the table. - Copy the last row from the table provided, paste it into the new row you just created. - Save the file. *3: In your folder that contains your swkotor.exe (usually named Star Wars - KotOR) locate the file named swkotor.ini and rename it BACKUPswkotor.ini so that you can revert to it later if you desire. *4: Paste the swkotor.ini file included with this download into that same folder ( Star Wars - KotOR) --note you can use either included .ini but if using WINDOWEDswkotor.ini rename it to swkotor.ini They are basically the same but one is set for fullscreen and the other windowed mode. ---- Uninstall: 1) Delete files from override folder. 2) Delete the .ini file you added, and rename the one you re-named as BACKUPswkotor.ini to it's original name.

It adds a new weapon type, the lightmace (and a 2h version), to the game. I plan to fine tune the hilt textures later. IF you have any color requests please comment as I can easily make different colors with my script (also available for download).

Easily manage, install, and revert loose-file mods. Features: Opens a mod as the zip, 7z or rar it downloaded as, or as a folder you already unpacked. No unpacking first. Works out which files are actually game content. Readmes, screenshots and packaging are left behind, and a mod shipping alternate versions of the same file asks you to pick one. Every install is recorded and can be taken back later. Uninstall leaves a file alone if something has changed it since, so it will not step on a patcher mod's work or on a later mod's. Finds duplicates already sitting in your Override. A name capitalised two ways, or one texture shipped as both a TPC and a TGA. Only one of each is ever loaded, and the game picks it arbitrarily. Shows what every layer of the game holds for a given file, so you can see a loose file quietly shadowing a copy inside a module archive. Finds your installation on its own. Steam, GOG and retail, on Windows, Linux and macOS, for both KotOR 1 and KotOR 2. If you play on Linux or a Steam Deck, this fixes something quiet Mod builds are ordered lists, and later mods are meant to overwrite parts of earlier ones. On Windows that happens by itself, because the filesystem does not care whether a file is called `Appearance.2da` or `appearance.2da`. On Linux it does care. Both files end up in Override, the game loads whichever one it reaches first, and the overwrite prompt the build guide told you to expect never appears. Your install order silently did not happen. This installs by name with a common lowercase filename, so the overwrite you meant is the one you get. What it does not do (yet) TSLPatcher mods. Those do not copy files into place. They merge rows into 2DA files that are already there, add entries to the talk table and write inside module archives. This recognises them and says so instead of half-installing them. Keep using HoloPatcher for those. (for now) Tested against The loose-file mods from the community build lists, and a full modded install. Additionally tested on Linux by @Leilukin and on macOS by @FTD Thanks for your help testing! Requirements The window fits a 1280x800 screen, so it works on a Steam Deck without too much squeezing.
