While you sleep in the medical room, C3-FD is patching your game. Restores fog and reflections which were broken in the Aspyr update. Works with both Steam and GOG versions. Only works on an unmodified swkotor2.exe. WIndows systems only. Included EXE Patches: - Fog Fix - Reflections Fix - 4GB Patch - Subtle Color Shift - Music Volume During Dialogue Fix How to use: Place C3-FD_patcher.exe into your kotor2 game directory and run. It will patch your game exe with the fixes listed above. It will check if you have an unmodified steam or gog version of the latest (Aspyr) patch, otherwise it wont run. It will also make a backup of your original swkotor2.exe. How this was made: - The fog shading was just covered up when the latest version was released. I was able to send that data to the new Fracture shaders and apply fog coloring. It checks if the fog color is set to black and if not then it applies fog. Modules that don't use fog have a default fog color of black, Duxn and Dantoonie use a grayish color. - The shader for when both a lightmap and a cubemap is applied, to the same model, had a typo. Cubemap was labeled as a '2D' instead of 'CUBE'. Easy fix. Luckily the shaders are a plain text string, in the exe, and can be modified with a hex editor. The only issue is that the character length needs to be the same or smaller. The only way to get more data in the shader is to remove extra spaces/linebreaks and to shorten variables to single characters. - The music was lowered so much during dialogue that it was almost non existent. I was able to find the functions for calling volume control, using ghidra. The call was made only 3 times and from there it was process of elimination. Ultimately disabling a variable change if in dialogue, before the first volume change call, worked. Special Thanks: HappyFunTimes101 - ShaderOverride - I could not have done this without this tool. This made sorting out and identifying the shader data much easier. I probably wouldn't have even attempted or known where to look if this didn't exist.

In the latest Aspry patch, the textures on lightsaber hilts are bugged. It seems theres an extra shader applied to them and maybe the math gets broken at certain angles. The fix is to simply change the model type from 'lightsaber' to 'other'. This can be done with Kotor Blender. I have also attached patched models for vanilla and Crazy34's New_Lightsaber_Blade_Model_TSL. Please make this change when creating your own lightsaber mods, for Aspyr compatibility. If using the files provided here just copy to the override folder. If using Crazy34's lightsabers, install their mod first then copy/overwrite with these patched models.

There's a few reports of people having low framerate when looking in the direction of a force cage. I was able to reproduce this just by running in fullscreen. The fix is simple. Just had to remove "proceduretype water" from the texture. I figured I'd release something more than just a simple fix so here's an updated model with upscaled and tweaked textures. If you don't want the changes then just grab "plc_frcdist01.txi" for the lag fix.

Original Review on Filefront: Our glorious leader Shem returns, with a mod that--as usual--you'll all enjoy. I know this because so many of you have already requested that he release this mod, after seeing it in some of his YouTube videos. Yes, Shem has finally released Carth's Republic Uniform--and then some. As you can tell from the screenshot, Carth will now wear the Republic soldier variant armor during his brief appearance on the Endar Spire. He will also be wearing this armor when you first wake up on Taris. Carth is a Republic soldier, so it's only natural that he wear the armor of one. However, he wouldn't make it ten feet out of the apartment parading around in that thing without being captured by Sith. So as soon as Carth leaves the apartment, you should switch to his classic Orange Jacket of Doom so the Sith won't know who he is. I guess it's supposed to be a flight suit, seeing as Carth's a pilot. In any case, once Carth joins the party, he will have two sets of armor in his inventory: first, as I said before, the flight jacket, and second, his set of Republic armor that he was wearing earlier. They have identical properties, so you're free to pick which one you think is appropriate. Personally, I think it makes more sense for Carth to wear his jacket, for reasons already mentioned. Anyway, as I said, they have identical properties, properties good enough that you'll want Carth to wear them. While the defense bonus for each set of armor is moderate, they give a whopping +5 to Carth's regeneration rate. And they can only be worn by Carth of course; how Shem managed to do this may be of interest to some of you modders out there. Carth also comes with a few extra items, some credits, medpacks, an extra blaster, and such, but it will be more fun for you to be surprised. The mod uses the TSL patcher, of course; however, the Republic armor uses the J slot in appearance.2da, so it won't be compatible with mods that allow Carth to wear Revan's robes. Well, it should be compatible, but Carth won't be able to wear the armor after you install this mod. And you'll need WinRAR/7zip to extract the files. Enjoy! NOTE: Please leave comments/feedback for the author, especially if you download and use this mod; usually it's the only reward modders receive for their efforts. ~JC
