I'm so proud of what this community can come together to create -
That's really cool! I know we had a few custom Mass Effect weapon models made for Kotor, they fit quite well.

You can either get Kotor 2 via Steam, which supports resolutions the original game did not have (including 1440p and 4K) or you can play it on the original release or the GOG release, both of which will require external software/modding to get it to support 1440p because games back then rarely even had 1080p resolution. For mods, the restored content mod is very straight forward. The hak pad mod should be installed after it. If you're using the Steam version of the game and those are the only 2 mods you're going to use, just turn on these mods via the Steam workshop, no involved installation needed. I believe the hak mod is on the Steam workshop. If you're using a version not from Steam, install the restored mod first, It's been a while but I believe the installer is very straight forward. As for the other mod, I think you just have to copy the files from that into the override folder in the Kotor 2 main folder.

I think I found the inspiration for your mod nice lol -
Have you seen this yet? It replaces most* of the Sith Assassin's quarterstaffs with lightsaber pikes/staffs. I say most because, although its been a while since I used this, I believe there are some instances where it does not replace them. Or do you mean the Kotor 2 version of the Force Pike? Force Pikes can mean a lot of things in all of Star Wars canon, I've seen them as weapons with lightsaber blades at the end and some without.

This is going to sound like a really dumb question, but does Kotor work the same on modern AMD GPUs compared to Nvidia ones? The games are really picky about which hardware they like, but I mostly remember that for older hardware giving me a hassle with AMD and Kotor when compared to Nvidia. Lots of visual bugs.

Apologies for the late reply, but I took your advice and decided to wait a little bit longer. I'm getting a RTX 3060 TI for a roughly 20% discount which is... msrp lol but the normal price for these things is 500 and I'm paying 400 bucks
I went back and forth between thinking Kotor's incompatibilities would be worth the cheaper price with AMD, but then I remembered that the stealth effect is tied to Frame Buffer Effects and disabling that make stealth look beyond immersion breaking. I don't even use the Stealth skill and I hate it. One garbage texture issue all but sealed the deal.
Well that and Nvidia's drivers just seem much better in the long run and I think it'll be a better long term investment. Thanks for your advice! I was also considering the A770, but that video and some additional research made me realize that Intel needs some more catching up to do that I don't want to be a part of.

My free time is basically going to get cut in half in a few months if not weeks from now for work and school related reasons anyway so I'm trying to squeeze out what enjoyment I can get. Months from now, knowing I could've saved an extra $50 or even $100 bucks will sting slightly but it won't be a big deal. I just want time to use the thing.
$400 was also the cheapest I could find this card anyway, so it's alright. The average price I'm seeing this right now is $500 and that price was already dropping a decent amount over the past few months.

Another exceptional reskin from you, this is one of my favorites that you've done. It still retains the idea the original was going for, that's what I really like about it. -
Honestly, it's a pretty good point
-
I've especially been wanting a fix for that Sion fight post-scene for such a long time, that was something that's been bugging me about Malachor forever. So glad to see it fixed! This mod basically covers nearly all the little gripes I've had about the game that I always found odd.
-
I had no idea that custom model replacements were possible on the Xbox, very cool to see! I always thought it was texture modifications only. As for translation, I assume that all of these mods only have English text and descriptions, you will need to translate the mod yourself using something like Kotor Tool to change the text from English to Spanish manually. Then again, I am very unfamiliar with how the translations of this game works from a technical perspective. Maybe someone here more knowledgeable about that could help you out with that, but I believe that's the limitation you'll have to work around.

I've heard something about a 4GB memory patch for TSL, what benefits does this provide and will Steam users be able to use this or is only compatible with the 4CD EXE?

kotor The system cannot find the path specified?
Mephiles550 replied to trooperneon's topic in Mod Releases
This may or may not be the answer to your problem, hope this helps. Been a while since I installed this mod, but I know I definitely had this issue and this helped it. Really hope someone updates the mod to fix this cause otherwise a lot of people aren't going to get this working and some people won't realize the answer is in a few pages deep of mod reviews. Quoted from the BOSSR mod comments section: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As many people seem to struggle with this: -Install this as your very first mod, most importantly before K1R, it'll work with K1R if you install it before K1R -Extract the content of the bos_sr_1.0 files. Extracting one will extract the content of each part -Extract the patch into a seperate folder -Go to the tslpatch data folder of the main mod and open changes.ini with your favorite editor -Replace all / with \ -Do the same for the changes.ini in the tslpatchdata folder of the patch -run the installer for the main mod, it should run through without throwing any exceptions -do the same for the patch -install k1r and all your other mods -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
Coruscant Landing and Takeoff Videos (for Jedi Temple Mod)
Mephiles550 replied to Sith Holocron's topic in Mod Requests
Although this is something I've wanted for quite some time, idk who you'd get to do it. These are probably super hard to make. I imagine it would take a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. Plus I feel like only a few people out there would know how to get the Kotor CGI art style just right. The modern M4-78 videos are a good example, and the following is an example of someone who nearly nailed it: Plus I personally think the Coruscant mod needs a big overhaul. Seeing reused modules in between the same game gets kinda tedious, It's part of the reason why I'm not really that much into mods like Brotherhood of Shadow, despite the excellent technical work behind the mod. It's just jading to see the exact same location twice in the same game, just changing the module textures from light blue to dark blue to try and sell it as a brand new place ain't gonna cut it anymore for me. I've been thinking that a CGI landing/take-off video should wait until a new unique landing module has been made. Since porting modules in-between games has been something happening in Kotor modding more recently, I think a decent compromise would be using Davik's estate from Kotor 1 as a landing site for some building on Coruscant.... although idk what for, it's a cool urbanized landing area. That's just one idea however. I'd be cool with an overhauled Coruscant for Kotor 2 basically being half Taris modules since Taris isn't in Kotor 2 anyway. -
That's a neat theory when looking at the graphics of the Switch version, but I'm doubting that they'd go through all that hoplah just for a prt. Not to mention, I don't even know if they knew how to do such a task themselves. I think the analysis by @jacqylfrostis accurate, this is probably the mobile version of the game. -
Cool idea, but it'd probably be only appropriate for the Red Rakata tribe. The other Black Rakata apparently lost the technology the ancient Rakata had. I would actually like a mod that replaces all Black Rakatan vibro weapons with basic long/short swords and quarterstaffs. It would also help with the accurate vibroblade mod cause the Black Rakatan are the only enemy iirc that dual wield with a vibroblade in one hand, and a few of those encounters are scripted without a UTC to edit for it.
-
I did something like this for personal use back when I was new to MDLOPS and I stopped after getting about 2/3 of the way there. I got lazy, lost all my mod files and never got back to it again. This is a permanent addition to the game, thank you so much! I was really hoping someone would do this! -
Question about Kotor 2 for Switch and TSLRCM:
I believe that the Jedi Padawan (Kaevee) you find in the Dantooine sublevel controlling the laegreks has her lines recorded by a fan and was not content technically restored.If this is going to be included in the Kotor 2 "DLC", how will crediting work? Is the voice actress aware of this situation?
And if this is not a problem, would it be too far fetched to then say that M478 could have been added to the Switch game despite the quantity of fan recorded dialogue?

My "Play'MULTI-MOD'through"
Mephiles550 replied to Obi Wan Pere's topic in General Kotor/TSL Modding
The Aspyr version of Kotor 2 has a few shader issues not present in the older versions of the game. This can be seen often with lightsabers hilts appearing to be missing their textures, but some older texture mods clearly reflect this change as well as they will not appear correctly. This mod is an example of one I recall having issues with the Aspyr version. -
This is a really cool mod, great idea -
You guys think that Disney's pumping out just too much Star Wars stuff at this point?
They're making a new show based on Andor from Rogue One and I just don't care anymore since they've got like 6-7 other series coming out and more movies about to come out. I've lost so much interest in modern Star Wars, not because it's necessarily bad but because there's so much of it. It's OK to take breaks now and again.
-
They need to be constantly pumping out filler material for Disney+ in order to keep people subscribed. Hence the string of Star Wars and Marvel TV shows. Quality is well down the list of their priorities. The only way they'll stop is if the financials stop making sense, as happened with their Star Wars theatrical plans.
-
Whilst I am a nerd who can never get enough content, I'm missing independent movies sometimes. And TV series that have original concepts. Whilst I'm not bored at this point in time I can completely understand why some/alot of people are getting bored of it all.
Disney acquiring both Marvel and Star Wars is a gift and a curse. We'll get a lot of exposition, but disneyifing everything will get very boring soon.

Did the Ancient Sith Species have any hair at all before the arrival of the Dark Jedi exiles on Korriban? "Sith purebloods" is a concept that I keep seeing both with and without hair on their head, but I usually see it referring only to members of the Sith species who are bald. IDK the lore of TOR, so how does this work?
-
If I remember correctly, the very ancient Sith Purebloods - prior to Ajunta&co arriving - didn't have any hair. The hair only came thanks to interspecies relationships.
These ancient Sith for the most part also only had three fingers on each hand, if memory serves right, but don't take my word on that one.

Fantastic mod! I can't believe I never noticed this until now, but the Manaan docking bay and the Yavin station landing pad are basically 1:1. Even their cargo box layout is the same now that I'm paying attention to the ebon hawk landing video. I thought you were joking about the areas having the same architect cause I thought you were referring to how you just spliced the Manaan hangar into the Yavin station and reskinned it, but Bioware seriously just redid their exact same work with Manaan into the Yavin cinematic. I appreciate the attention to subtle detail you added to make the Manaan hangar look closer to Yavin's landing pad, such as adding the cables on the ceiling. Not sure how you did that, yet I'm very impressed anyway.
-
Permanent addition to the game, it blends in perfectly with the Yavin Station. This is what Bioware should've made the Yavin IV module like. I hope you'll make more module additions/enhancements like these in the future! -
I would appreciate that if you could, thank you!
