I'm making an expansion for the first game, which starts right after beating Malak and uses Thor110's free roam. It will have 2 main stories, one for light side and one for dark side players. The idea is to add Quanon's unused Korriban modules to the game, and link the end of the game to the Revan novel for LS and SWTOR for DS. Which is why I'm saying I hope you can actually publish them at some point, so my new characters, especially Sith but Jedi too, can wear them. So yeah, great work and good luck for finishing !

Two demos in one day! In this one I show, kotor 1 working with more than 256 rows in placeables 2DA (something that previously wasn't possible).

I recently created a mod that reskins Ulic Qel-Droma's Mesh Suit and made it upgradeable.

I had some time today, I edited existing uti files of the robes: g_a_jedirobe01 — Padawan Tunic - Given in the Jedi Academy g_a_jedirobe02 — Sith Acolyte Tunic - Not placed in the game - Will be present on some sith characters (initiats) g_a_jedirobe03 — Not placed in the game, Ignore g_a_jedirobe04 — Not placed in the game, Ignore g_a_jedirobe05 — Not placed in the game, Ignore g_a_jedirobe06 — Qel-Droma Robe replacement g_a_kghtrobe01 — Jedi Consular Robe: • Kashyyyk, Upper Shadowlands — Jolee Bindo • Korriban, Dreshdae — Dak Vesser g_a_kghtrobe02 — Sith Adept Robe: • Tatooine, Anchorhead — Dark Jedi (ambush). • Kashyyyk, Great Walkway — Dark Jedi (ambush). • Manaan, Sith Base — footlocker. • Korriban, Sith Academy — footlocker. • Star Forge Temple (Main Floor) — Dark Jedi. g_a_kghtrobe03 — Jedi Guardian Robe - will be given to Juhani g_a_kghtrobe04 — Jedi Sentinel Robe: Dantooine Ruins — Nemo’s Remains. g_a_kghtrobe05 — Sith Warrior Robe - Same Dark Jedi Knight spawns/containers as …02 above (color variant of the same placement). g_a_mstrrobe01 — Jedi Knight Robe: • Tatooine, Eastern Dune Sea — Chewed Human Corpse. • Manaan, Hrakert Station — Remains. • Korriban, Sith Academy — footlocker. • Star Forge System, Rakatan Settlement — Wicker Bin. g_a_mstrrobe02 — Sith Lord Robe: • Manaan, Sith Base — Dark Jedi Master. • Star Forge Temple (Main Floor) — Sith Master. • Star Forge Temple Summit — Bastila (DS path). g_a_mstrrobe03 — Not placed Ignored g_a_mstrrobe04 — Not placed Ignored g_a_mstrrobe05 — Sith Marauder Robe: Same Dark Jedi Master / Sith Master / Bastila placements as …02 above (blue variant). g_a_mstrrobe06 — Darth Revan’s Robes, Ignore g_a_mstrrobe07 — Star Forge Robes (Light-only), Ignore Next step is to finish creating utc files for the rest of the robes These additional robes I will add to the characters in accordance with the table I mentioned before and maybe to shops/lockers (if they are not global)

The problem with the vanilla lightmaps is that they reduced them down to tiny sizes. In some cases a single room might comprise two or three lightmaps each only 64x64. So whatever quality they were in their raw state (probably not that high res to begin with circa a quarter century ago using 3DS Max 8/9 and Photoshop 6/7), once they crunched them down for the shipped version everything got turned into blobs. It's honestly impressive they look as good as they do, all things considered. But they didn't "paint" them. If you look in the vanilla models you'll like see a bunch of empty null/dummy objects with light names. Those were all the fill lights they used originally to bake the lighting. They presumably got converted to nulls by their exporter since they weren't of an appropriate game type. As to vertex painting, no. The engine doesn't support displaying any colour information that way. Not that it would help you for lightmaps anyway.

The target would be his UTC file, since that's where his inventory is stored. As to how you'd do it, while you could just edit the UTC directly and add it to his inventory via Holocron Toolset or KGFF, a better approach might be to use scripting to do it, since that allows for more control. It would also mean it wouldn't be affected by the edge case of people loading a save where he had already been spawned before they installed the mod, since in that case a modified UTC wouldn't take affect (creatures, placeables, etc. are saved in the GIT file stored in the user's save as soon as they are spawned). Probably not a big deal in this instance, but it can be a significant consideration in other circumstances.

Thank You! I will! This sounds awesome! Of course, as long as original authors of the assets I'm using are ok with that I will gladly share anything from the mod as long as I am credited ... Quick update. I had some thoughts about making a Jorak Texture for the Temple Master Robe and Archeologist robes on Korriban. The texture for archeologists looks like this (below) at the moment. It looks good in the distance but in conversation all the dirty parts are mostly not visible xD

Didn't read all, but my latest policy is: feel free to use my creations, simply credit me.

If you mean making a mod that makes the player character speak, then I believe this was attempted before in a thread years ago and the result was either it's impossible to do or it requires a lot of time consuming effort to essentially implement one single line of dialogue that it'd take years to produce a little bit of voiced player dialogue that'd be prone to all sorts of problems and incompatibilities that it's virtually impossible regardless.

without reshade

Added some trees to this area, just to see how much of a difference it makes and if it would affect FPS (it didn't, 0 difference in FPS even after adding around 100 trees). I think the game looks incredibly dull with these super bare areas with nothing going on in them. I might be able to animate them too, i have added animated trees to Morrowind. Though this could make the game a bit inconsistent unless i animate all trees in all areas, and that is.. unlikely. video: KotOR TSL with new trees

@heyorangeDamn bro that looks great ! How much more time do you think you'll need ? Also, I assume this will work for both games ? It'd be nice if I could make my expansion compatible with your mod. Anyway, great work.

As Squall has said, there is no launcher for the Steam version. You mean this mod? The K2CP mod? That Community Patch? The K1CP should be installed first for Kotor I mods only, the same does not apply to K2CP - the reason for this will be listed down below. K1CP is to be installed first for Kotor I, followed by RC-K1CP the Kotor I restored content mod for that game. TSLRCM is to be installed first for Kotor II, followed by K2CP assuming you aren't using M4-78EP. The reason TSLRCM is installed first is because it was released first, its installer does not use a combability installer like TSLPatcher or HoloPatcher that'll merge conflicting files together. Instead, TSLRCM's installer just copies all of the files into the right places to install the mod. TSLRCM is massive and it changes a lot of things so it wouldn't be feasible to have a compatibility installer. It both restores cut content and fixes hundreds of bugs. Modern mods get around this by making you, the player, install TSLRCM first and our mods afterwards. We make our mods with the objective of being compatible with TSLRCM and K2CP is no different. You install TSLRCM, you launch the game, and you see if the Kotor II logo has been replaced with a new Kotor II logo that says TSLRCM 1.8.6 in-game. That's how you check on Steam.

Steam itself doesn’t present the launcher for the game. It will just launch you straight into the LucasArts and Obsidian movies before being greeted by the main menu.

Another demo, this time showing off some of the Kotor 2 creature stats functions in Kotor 1. A few discoveries during this process: The various "BonusForcePoints" functions kotor 2 implements are going to be non-trivial to implement unfortunately, as Force point calculations are very hard-coded, and I'm not aware of any convenient ways to tip the scales there. `SetBonusForcePoints`, `AddBonusForcePoints`, and `GetBonusForcePoints` are still on the wishlist, they'll just take a bit longer as I patch the FP logic. `Modify<Reflex/Fort/Will>SavingThrowBase` functions are in a similar camp. Anytime the game calls `GetBaseWillSavingThrow` (or related), it live calculates the value based on class level and specific feats. Kotor 2 gets around this by adding an additional field to the creature stats structure that stores a modifier they use in this calculation. So again, these are still on the list, but will require a bit more love to get working than the commands I show off in the demo video All-in-all progress is going well. I'll be cutting another alpha release later, for anyone interested in experimenting. As always please share questions and comments on this effort!

Hello everyone I've been a quiet spectator for a bit and am kinda dumb when it comes to modding and was wondering if anyone could bring my favorite head from Kotor 2 to Kotor 1 (apologies if my formatting is incorrect for this kind of post)

new dantooine sky and grass for the next patch

Hehe, Thanks It is good to be back xD Hey! I really appreciate this! I saw what you did, this is really a fantastic job! I am not sure if I use any of these symbols in the modification (the idea is that the Robe mode and Sith Uniform mod to be compatible with each other). I think I will not change the look of archeologists, though I definitely will change the Sith Students. I will check if I can add the Regiment Insignia on the Robes, maybe small one on the belt or collar. Or maybe even under the belt!

Presumably alpha channel masks for envmaps, like Sith troopers or Mandos, for example. Or the Hawk, both exterior and interior, amongst many others.

around 1950 textures are mostly done, gonna go over some of the skyboxes again though, make them 2048x2048 since it just looked quite a lot better.

This solution works: Right click on swkotor.exe, go to Properties -> Compability -> Change High DPI Settings -> Override high DPI scaling behaviour (Set it to application).

The Handmaiden starts with row 454, which has the hood up and uses a full body model (a single 3D model that includes the head & body, "F" for "full" in column "modeltype"). Later she uses row 638, which uses separate head and body models ("B" in column "modeltype" and a number in the "normalhead" column) , so it can show gear that's equiped. There's several ways to go, up to you. You can turn 638 into the hood up version or keep the hood down in 638 but make it so that it will never show gear. Sure, no problem.

A few additional notes based on my own experience: KOTORBlender can actually handle multiple models and model roots/OdysseyBases in a single scene. The key is that when you export the model, you must first select the OdysseyBase of the specific model you wish to export. Except for walkmeshes, KOTORBlender actually ignores the Blender material completely. All of the parameters that KOTORBlender cares about are set up as properties of the mesh under “KOTOR Model Node”, which can be edited independently of the material. I’ve had cases where I was lazy and edited the texture name in the model property but didn’t bother to update the Blender material to match, and it still exported fine. The lightmap UVs are saved under a second UV map called UVMap_lm, and the lightmap texture is set in the KOTOR Model Node properties of the mesh. Blender calls it the Parent Inverse, you can read more about it here: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/scene_layout/object/editing/parent.html. I’ve mainly had it come up as an issue when parenting objects. I recommend using the “Make Parent without Inverse (Keep Transform)” command to avoid offset issues like this. I also use this handy addon, which can zero out the Parent Inverse of a mesh after it was already parented while keeping its current position: https://github.com/drewcassidy/blender-apply-parent-inverse. Collisions for area models are set by creating non-walkable areas in the walkmesh, which is stored in the .wok file matching the model name. KOTORBlender will read and write .wok files as part of the import/export process if they are in the same location as the main MDL/MDX.

More correctly, this is the OdysseyBase. Incorrect. Meshes can indeed be child objects of null/dummy/empty objects. Indeed, this is actually a requirement in some cases. Specifically, what is known as the "A node". This applies to level models where any animated mesh must be the child of a null/dummy that is named the same as the OdysseyBase with "a" appended to the end. Except in the case of walkmeshes, which use the walkmesh multi-material, not a usual texture reference. I'm not sure how Blender handles UV channels, but lightmapped level models absolutely require a second UV channel for the lightmap UVs. One thing you have missed is that each node requires a unique ID. This is important for character models because bone ID must match the equivalent ID in the supermodel hierarchy. The KMax/MDLEdit workflow gets around this by loading the target supermodel to map the nodes where needed, but KBlender compiles to a binary directly so requires they be set in the editor. I recall I was playing around with an automated mapping script at some point. I know I talked to seedhartha at some point about adding it. Not sure what became of that.

Hey, Thank you! Tbh I'm not sure xD Making robes and adding them to the game shouldn't be very long, but to do a whole playtest thing, I'm sure when I will have time for this xD Which expansion do you mean?

Telos sky box. might do something else with the grass and ground because its very dull.

I know i started a topic like 2 years ago or something about doing a remaster / retexture, but i never got far into it. So I recently started over again using the new AI model i have been working on for the last 2'ish years on and off, the recent update made it really good at doing clothing. This retexture will be similar to my other remasters i've made in the last years (Jedi Knight 2, Thief 2,Morrowind and Gothic 2). So basically the full game retextured, maybe apart from the smallest stuff which doesnt make sense to retexture. I'm maybe 70% done or so. 1600+ textures so far, but some needs to be remade again or needs fixes. Some examples attached
