"First off, sorry for the delay in uploading this skin.
 
Here we have a reskin of the Calo Nord Armour ingame. Bright shiny and gold. Too me it looks badass, I can totally see myself running around killing everything in site wearing this (but thats just the sadistic side of me ) All in all very simple skin job, but done very well. I would expect nothing less Further note: this mod works for Kotor and Kotor2.

Each head option features normal KotOR dark side transitions with Sith Eyes (yellow with red rings). If you prefer dark side transitions that feature Sith Eyes only and no change to the skin tone copy the files from Alternate Darkside in your selected head and overwrite these files in your override folder.
 
To uninstall, remove the above files from your override folder.
 
Description
I almost always play with the first male caucasian head when I play Knights of the Old Republic however I prefer my gentleman a little scruffy. Years ago I created a similar reskin that became very popular and I decided it was time to rehash the same ol' same ol' with some more advanced texturing skills.
 
This mod will add either a goatee or a full beard to this particular head. The two versions are mutually exclusive so you can only select one at the moment. This mod will also be incompatible with any other mod that replaces the files above.

Original KotORFiles review:
"Let's go back in time to 1997 when a hit game came out for our PC called Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. Sound familiar? Maybe the game was before your time, but there was this character named Kyle Katarn who learned the ways of the Force and became a Jedi and ended up defeating seven different Dark Jedi to help protect the Valley of the Jedi from falling into Jerec�s hands. Well, during that game you can see Kyle use a specific blaster called the Bryar Pistol.
 
Recently Inyri Forge and I were having one of our chats on MSN and she asked for an idea of what blaster she should model for the first Knights of the Old Republic game. I suggested the Bryar Pistol because I remembered her love for the Dark Forces II game and the character Kyle Katarn played in it and I had this feeling this was a blaster she wouldn�t have been able to resist making.
 
As Inyri went to get references to help model the blaster, she learned some interesting information about it. The Bryar Pistol was a sawed off blaster rifle by Morgan Katarn to give to his son before entering the academy. Because of this discovery, the author decided to not only make the pistol, but the rifle too; so this mod comes with two weapons.
 
Information about how what types of damage these blasters do and how to get your hands on them is in the readme file. The TSL Patcher does install this mod for easy installation. Enjoy the new blasters! big grin

Description:
Those who have played Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight should recognize this weapon. The bryar pistol, which originated from the bryar rifle, was Kyle Katarn's side arm of choice, which he used even after becoming a Jedi Knight. It featured increased accuracy with a light weight, making it both usable and popular. Both the pistol and the rifle have the same stats, which are listed below:
 
Gun Stats:
5-15 damage
3 attack bonus
2d6 energy damage to droids (scope)
DC 22 stun, 50% 2 rounds (scope)
2d6 electrical damage (improved energy cell)
1d6 energy damage (beam splitter)
2 attack bonus (beam splitter)
2d6 sonic damage (hair trigger)
 
Locations:
Both can be purchased from Kebla Yurt on Taris for 1000 credits each.
 
Bugs:
Some minor hand clipping due to the bulkiness of the weapon. Mostly unnoticeable.
 
Comments:
If you're either too poor to purchase them early in the game, or want two of the pistol, or whatever, you can use the following cheats to spawn the weapons in your inventory:
giveitem bryarpistol
giveitem bryarrifle

Original KotORFiles review:
"Christmas is very near now and when this wonderful holiday comes it�s always nice to get things that help the holiday spirit. One of the most popular types of candy you can have to help celebrate the Christmas Season are candy canes; of course when you think of candy canes, you think of something that goes into your mouth to eat, but you don't see eating going on in Knights of the Old Republic, you see fighting throughout the game.
 
To help put this site get into the Christmas Spirit, Inyri Forge decided to make us a Candy Cane Sword. Since this is a holiday themed mod that will be used once a year if anybody is interested, less work should be involved or whatever is easier to just get the mod out, right? Well, the author did take that direction with this release and decided to have the new Candy Cane Sword replace the default first long sword in Knights of the Old Republic.
 
This weapon is more commonly seen in the beginning part of the game. When the author and I were talking earlier in the evening about her work, we both chuckled at the idea of a Black Vulkar pulling out a candy cane to fight your PC on Taris. Since it's a quick replacement model and texture, it can be easily removed once you�re out of the holiday spirit. Merry Christmas! big grin

I can never resist a holiday mod, although I almost forgot to finish this one! Last year it was the Santa Hats (http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/Santa_Hats;73915), so this year it's Candy Cane swords to go with it! I had them overwrite the longsword because I thought that'd be funny, so anything that uses the longsword model will appear as a candy cane. Either play with them that way, or cleverly make your own uber Candy Cane UTI to 'celebrate' the holidays with. Just to make it clear, I don't condone killing people as being 'in the holiday spirit'. Now that my lawyer can rest easy ( just kidding) go ahead and pummel some Sith with pure sugar and peppermint!

Original Review on Filefront:
 
"One of the basic, yet most important aspects in my opinion about Star Wars is how distinguished good and evil is. It�s so clearly defined. This new mod will add to our growing collection of launchers, however the TSL side is really dominating with the amount of launchers compared to the K1 section, so it�s nice to add to the K1 side to help compete with the TSL side.
 
I also love to see talented modders continue to contribute to the Knights of the Old Republic section. It gives me great pleasure to review their mods. In the case of this launcher, it�s Inyri Forge who graces us. Anything she makes, she makes it with great quality and this mod is no exception to the kind of work she releases.
 
Since we�re talking about how distinguished good and evil is, this launcher is based off of that and the choice you have to go to either the good side of things, or the dark side. My favorite part about this mod is the new sounds. When the launcher is opened, Master Vrook talks about how the lure of the dark side is not easy to resist with dark themed music playing in the background and when you click the buttons, Master Zhar will tell you that you cannot deny who you are.

Original Review on Filefront:
 
"Inyri Forge has brought us an updated version of Darth Malak�s jaw piece. As I stated in my previous review of this mod (just in case you don�t feel like clicking the outdated one to read about this), Darth Malak lost his mouth in a lightsaber duel. The rumor was it was Master Kavar that did the deed. Just a reminder if that it is only a rumor, nothing is factual about this rumor. The rumor started when you read the dialogue exchange between the Exile and Kavar in the Iziz cantina and it was based off of Mandalore�s comments that the speculation it was Master Kavar who chopped off Darth Malak�s jaw.
 
What is different about this updated version is that the mesh of the model has been modified to help avoid ear clipping. This works best with Don Kain�s playable Malak�s head (link to this mod in the readme). The textures have been modified to increase blending to it. The model name has been modified to avoid conflicts with the author�s Mabari Armorweave mod. This mask is meant for male characters, however you can put them on females, just don�t except breath taking results.
 
To get this jaw piece of Malak, you will have to use the KSE or the cheats to get it. The name file is different from the original release. To give it, type... giveitem malakmask
 
This mod is meant for both Knights of the Old Republic, and Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. The TSL version has a story behind it that if was taken after Malak�s death in KOTOR. The author said you�ll have to make up your own story for the K1 version. This item is restricted to the dark side of the Force. Also check out the bonus stats you'll get in the readme. The stats from the original release have upped a little to give your PC a little more of a boost. Enjoy it!

Original Review on Filefront:
 
"Inyri Forge is, I hope, a modder who needs no introduction. This latest mod from one of the most prolific modellers to work on KotOR is the Deldrimor Sword from Guild Wars, which, since its introduction in April, has apparently become very popular. It's been a little while since Inyri's last release, and it's nice to see another mod by her uploaded here.
 
The model is, quite simply, excellent, and the texturing is also very, very good. While it is tempting to say that the mod is up to Inyri's usual high standard, this is not true - this mod exceeds even that, and it would be no exaggeration to say that this is probably the best model we've had in a good while. The accuracy of the model is as near to perfect as makes no odds, and the texture looks great. In-game it looks even better than in the shots, and it fits the aesthetic of the game well, particularly where Wookiees are involved.
 
The description is nice and to the point, reflecting the fantasy origins of the weapon, while the stats are based upon those of the weapon in Guild Wars. If there are criticisms to be made of the mod, some may view the stats (2-20 Physical Damage bonus, +3 Constitution) as a little overpowered and the description is not very Star Wars-y. The darker areas of the texture also do not show up especially well in-game, either.
 
However, the stats reflect those in Guild Wars, as the description refers to the mod's origin, and the texturing is actually quite visible; overall, these are minor quibbles regarding a nevertheless very cool mod.
 
NB: Please leave constructive criticism, particularly if you download and use this mod, as the download-counter isn't very informative.

Original Review on Filefront:
 
"What a fantastic model! In fact it's actually two models. This has to be one of the greatest models I've seen to date for kotor2! Inyri is starting to become one of the top model makers for the game. The actual axe itself is amazing in detail, right down to the nicely crafted handle. It kind of gives a bird like effect, with the wings apearing as the blades themselves. The second model is a variant of the original, that being it's a double axe that replaces the vibro double-sword model in the game. Again nicely done, beautiful skining has been applied. So if you looking for a change from the oringinal models go ahead and download this masterpiece.

Original Review on Filefront:
 
"Inyri is back with another Guild Wars weapon! This time it is the Emerald Sword, which is both a sword and emeraldy (which must come as a shock, given the name... ) It is also, equally shockingly, based upon a weapon in Guild Wars.
 
As can be seen, the model is more than up to Inyri's high standard and excellently detailed, while the texturing is superb, managing to combine metallic appearance with that of crystal very effectively. It's closeness to the original design is clear and, indeed, most accurate, as always. The stats of the weapon, too, are balanced and fair, while also making it worthwhile to use. It hasn't been spawned anywhere in the game by the author, since it's a fantasy weapon, and rather inappropriate for the setting and aesthetic of the game.
 
That said, the large guard does make the blade seem rather short, all things considered, and the weapon looks rather silly when paired with the author's Deldrimor Sword, also from Guild Wars. That said, these quibbles are, strictly speaking, the fault of the designer and not the modeller in the first instance, and in the second because the two weapons weren't designed to go together, but a review that doesn't have a down-side wouldn't really be balanced.
 
NB: Please leave constructive criticism, particularly if you download and use this mod, as the download-counter isn't very informative.

Original KotORFiles review:
"Mandalorians were an interesting type of people. They liked to wear full body armor and live for battle to gain honor in the eyes of their fellow brethren. What's interesting is if you're a female player character and some Mandalorian tells you that you would have been a good one too. What's funny is that you never saw female Mandalorians in Knights of the Old Republic. Enter Inyri Forge! stick out tongue
 
Inyri is back to give us what the first Knights of the Old Republic (and the second, but this isn't for that game) lacked and that is female Mandalorians. Hey, even the males need some loving; plus they need sons and daughters to carry out Mandalorian traditions. Inyri took the male model and made some changes to it to give you the female version.
 
The most noticeable feature right away is the breasts. I'm betting that is what most everybody will notice first when seeing the screenshots whether or not they choose to admit it. stick out tongue There are some other details you can notice is the more slender body and some female shaping traits that you really have to look to notice. Some masculine traits have been left behind, but as the author has stated herself that she did that on purpose because if a female had to wear that armor all the time, they're going to be very strong and have some good sized muscles.
 
The only place where you will see some female Mandalorians in the game from what I can see is Dantooine if you look at the names of the UTC files the author has edited. The author even customized a sound set for them so they will sound female when attacking you.
 
The TSL Patcher is used to install this mod to make some very necessary compatibility changes for your game. You will need a saved game before going out on the Dantooine plains for these changes to take effect. Make sure you read the instructions in the readme file. Enjoy the mod! big grin

Introduction:
Mandalorians -- or neo-crusaders as they're popularly known as in this particular game -- are one of the staples of Star Wars lore. Whenever you want to find a 'cool' villain, it's always a Mandalorian... unless it's a dark Jedi, but that's another story. It's rarely pointed out that most of the non-human enemies/NPCs in the game -- Mandalorians, Bith, Ithorians, Rodians -- are all male! Only a few lucky groups get females, the Tusken Raiders and Wookiees first coming to mind. But of course we all know that if Mandalorians want their legacy to go on there must be women somewhere! So someone said "hey, how about a female Mandalorian?" So I did it.
 
Description:
This mod, to be very straightforward, adds female Mandalorians to the game. This is an edit of the original Mandalorian model using Taina's Replacer, so I did my best to feminize the model. It still has a few masculine traits which I did not 'soften up' purposely (even female warriors would be tough as nails... plus Mandalorian gear is heavy armor!). On the whole the model is slimmer and less masculine, although obviously still fit and ready for a fight. It also uses a customized sound set (a mix of default soundsets with a filter over the audio to make it sound like the male Mandalorian).
 
For kicks I also changed a few of the UTCs on Dantooine to now display the female Mandalorian instead of the male, in case you wanted to see it without using the savegame editor. I'm hoping beyond hope that none of the ones I change ever have anything to say... In any case I've also included an unused UTC (n_mandalorianf.utc) kind of as a modder's resource in case someone wants to put these in a custom are for whatever reason.
 
Installation:
This mod uses the TSLPatcher for easy installation. Simply extract the contents of the compressed archive to anywhere on your hard drive, then double click "TSLPatcher.exe" to run the installation. Do not try to install by hand -- it won't work.

Original Review from Filefront:
 
"Any Final Fantasy players around? Anybody? Bueller?... Bueller?... Bueller?... I've never played the game personally. I can almost see the Final Fantasy fanatics screaming and throwing rocks at me now in an outrage. I will mention that my two younger brothers really got into it so it's something that's been in my family, which is probably going to be the closest I've ever get to the game.
 
Well, the purpose of this mod by Inyri Forge is to give you all the chance to play with swords that were seen in the games. The author has made a bunch of Final Fantasy weapons in the past, but since she's the manager of JK3Files, they have been seen more there than here, which she thought was a shame.
 
Some of these weapons are HUGE! Drop the lightsaber and go for something that will inflict pain into Darth Malak and his band of Dark Jedi wannabes. This is one of those situations where the author just couldn't find a place to put them into the game so it will come down to using the cheat console to access them. No worries; the author provided the cheat codes in the readme file for those who haven't yet figured out that the code to spawning objects are listed on the UTI files that you install in the override folder. Enjoy the new swords!

Inyri's Birthday Surprise!
 
This is my birthday present to you!
 
This mod is a surprise. If you're downloading it and installing it, for some reason you trust me when I say it's worth downloading and installing. In reality, this mod has no practical purpose. You are installing it for no reason. Except your curiosity. Which is a good reason, in my opinion. Anyway, go ahead and follow the installation instructions. And don't look at the files. No seriously, don't. Just spawn your item and talk to Carth. Trust me! Oh, but you probably will want to do it in a large area. When you're not being shot at.
 
To use this mod:
Either with the console or with the KotOR Save Game Editor (KSE) give yourself the item that comes with this mod (giveitem inyri_gift). Once you have my birthday gift you can talk to Carth.
 
WARNING!
Compatibility with K1R has NOT been tested or confirmed. Until it has been confirmed one way or the other, you have been warned!

Original Review on Filefront:
 
"With St. Patrick�s Day around the corner in two days, it�s nice to have a mod that reflects the green Irish holiday that is held annually on March 17. Now, I know some of you around the world who visit this site may not know about the green holiday � if that�s the case, just know it�s a holiday where you traditionally wear green and get drunk.
 
Inyri Forge brings us something to celebrate the spirit of the holiday by making a nice St. Patrick�s Day hat to wear while either searching for the Star Forge in the first Knights of the Old Republic game or tracking down the Jedi Masters in Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.
 
I realize some of you who have some modding knowledge about how models work in both Knights of the Old Republic could be thrown off by what I�m going to tell you about this mod. Inyri made one set of models that can work in both Knights of the Old Republic games. At first I thought she forgot one of the game�s model files and tested it out to see which one was missing and I saw that they worked in both games. Usually if one set of model files goes with one game, using it in the other game would cause your game to crash once you equip the item. So don�t be alarmed if you notice it having one set of model files.
 
You do get a persuade and charisma bonus of +4 when wearing the hat. May I suggest a green armor or robe to go with this new addition? Who knows, maybe for Easter Inyri will make Easter Bunny ears to wear. Enjoy the mod!

Original KotORFiles review:
"The most popular weapon from the Star Wars Saga even including the Expanded Universe that includes video games would be the lightsaber. It's a blade of pure energy. The blade colors are usually traditional based off of what your allegiance is. If you're a Jedi, you would traditionally carry a blue or a green blade. If you're a Sith, you traditionally carry a red blade. What usually makes a lightsaber unique is not the blade color, but the hilt in which the blade comes out of.
 
Inyri Forge is back with a brand new hilt to play with in the original Knights of the Old Republic game. This particular hilt belonged to a Dark Jedi named Kane. He was a student at the Korriban Sith Academy. The design of the hilt is awesome indeed and will be a great addition to those who love playing the dark side of the Force.
 
Remember Mika Dorin? He's that Rodian merchant who has 'Special Items' to sell. You can get the hilt there. It is an upgradable lightsaber. This mod does use the TSL Patcher to make changes to the upcrystals.2da file so the lightsaber will be upgradable. Enjoy the new hilt! big grin

Description
 
Kane was a dark Jedi training at the Sith Academy on Korriban during the Jedi Civil War. His masters saw such promise in him that they rewarded him with this special Sith lightsaber, which contains engravings of a section of the Sith code. Shortly after Kane left the academy and the Sith entirely, though he kept the lightsaber for quite some time.

"Katanas. I've always like katanas. To me, they were always sleeker and better-looking than those huge, heavy european broadswords. They were a more elegant weapon for a more ... Anyway, Inyri shows us her modeling talent with this weapon, her version of the Japanese katana. The proportiions are correct and the blade looks spot-on. The only problem I noticed with the model is that if you look at it in first-person view, it looks like the blade clips with the handle a bit. It's not really noticable, though, during normal play. The skin for the handle seems a little odd to me. It doesn't seem really detailed and is a bit blurry. However, the blade looks pretty good and the shader for it works perfectly. Overall, I like this model and I'll keep it in my override folder, though compared to Inyri's other models, it feels a little bit rushed. Recommended download, though.

Original Review on Filefront:
 
"My my my, this is a unique mod we have today. Inyri gets definite kudos for thinking outside the box with it.
 
In a time period where swords were brought back, why aren't there any shields? Pretty much every Sith or Republic trooper you runs into has a vibroblade on him, one would definitely come in handy.
 
Well, now there are, and you'll get to use three different kinds of them. Stat-wise they're all useful, providing 15% resistance against melee damage and a +3 to defense. There's also some various attribute and Force-related bonuses that differ depending on the shield, but overall they're all about equally powerful so you can choose which one to use over simply aesthetics if you'd like.
 
These items can also be found in-game on various planets, so now you won't have an excuse to cheat these onto your character while you're still on the Endar Spire. Remember to run the TSLPatcher once you've downloaded this, and enjoy!

So everyone go download this. It's a very nice addition to the game.

Original KotORFiles review:
"Inyri is back with another Mass Effect 2 weapon for KotOR, this time a blaster based on the M-6 Carnifex Hand Cannon from the game. It replaces the default blaster pistol in the game, as part of a series of mods adding Mass Effect weapon models to the KotOR games. The weapon therefore has the same stats as the default blaster pistol. The mod is therefore incompatible with other mods which replace the blaster pistol in the game. It is, however, highly compatible with custom blaster mods which do not replace existing weapon, and will also be used by some enemies in the game.
 
To describe this mod as "well-made" seems a bit inadequate, given the obvious high quality of the work, consistent with Inyri's high standards. The texture, too, is both accurate and detailed, showing a refreshing, worn look. In short, this model is not only an accurate rendition of a weapon from Mass Effect 2, but an excellent piece of modelling and skinning in its own right. If you're looking for a blaster pistol replacement, this is definitely one to look at.

Description:
This model is a replica of the Carnifex Hand Canon as seen in the game Mass Effect 2 (similar to the pistol from the original Mass Effect, but the design is slightly different). This is simply a heavy blaster rifle replacement, so all of the weapons that use the w_HvyBlstr_001 model will now show up as this gun, leaving it compatible with other custom blaster mods... except other replacement mods, naturally.

As requested by Zerimar Nyliram over at LucasForums, these textures change the original mod's textures English characters to Aurebesh. Inyri was happy to comply with the request and now, you can use it too!
 
This mod is compatible with both the KotOR version of the M-8 Assault Rifle Blaster Replacement and also the TSL version of the same mod.
 
Installation: Move the TGA files with the same name out of the the Overridfe folder and empty the contents of this RAR into your Override.

Original KotORFiles review:
"Inyri, a modder who needs no introduction, returns with a model replicating the M-8 Assault Rifle from Mass Effect 2. This model replaces the default blaster rifle model for KotOR 1. As such, it has the same item stats as the default blaster rifle. The screenshot below shows the weapon far better than any description could.
 
This is, it must be said, a beautiful weapon, but also a rather tricky shape to model. Inyri's model and texture more than do the original justice; the texture exceeds even the standard that Inyri has in the past shown us, while the model is a superbly accurate rendering of the original. To be blunt, this may be the best weapon-model KotORFiles has seen since Inyri's last upload with us.
 
Indeed, it's hard to think of anywhere that the author might improve on this. The use of an animated texture for the three bars behind the "lower" gun-barrel might have allowed for the use of a light metallic shine over the rest of the model, which might be said to look a little flat at present, but this would be a lot of work for very little gain, and is really more of a matter of taste. In all, this is a really excellent-looking weapon. And what more could you ask for from a weapon model?

Description:
This model is a replica of the M-8 Assault Rifle as seen in the game Mass Effect 2 (similar to the rifle from the original Mass Effect, but the design is slightly different). This is simply a blaster rifle replacement, so all of the weapons that use the w_blstrrfl_001 model will now show up as this rifle, leaving it compatible with other custom blaster mods... except other replacement mods, naturally.

Original KotORFiles review:
"Inyri's run of Mass Effect 2 weapon replicas for the KotOR games continues with a duplicate of the M-98 Widow weapon. The model replaces that of the "Sith Snipe Rifle" in the game, which can be bought from Kebla Yurt, in the Upper City, on Taris. The mod is a straightforward model replacement, and as such should be compatible with most mods, with the exception of those that affect the "Sith sniper rifle" weapon model.
 
The mod is produced with Inyri's usual, high level of polish and execution, with both model an texture of exemplary quality. As can be seen in the screenshots, this mod replicates the appearence of the original weapon with a high degree of accuracy. The ease of acquiring the weapon in the game is similarly welcome. In all, this is a masterclass in mod-making, as well as a remarkably fine piece of modelling and texturing. Ultimately, whether or not to download is a matter of taste, but it's hard to deny that this weapon looks fantastic.

Description:
This model is a replica of the m-98 Widow sniper rifle as seen in the game Mass Effect 2 (this is the sniper rifle that Legion upgrades to, although an infiltrator Shepard can use it as well). This is simply a blaster rifle replacement, so all of the weapons that use the w_blstrrfl_002 model will now show up as this gun, leaving it compatible with other custom blaster mods... except other replacement mods, naturally. It is specifically designed to overwrite the Sith Sniper Rifle (g_w_blstrrfl002.uti) which I felt was particularly appropriate.

Original KotORFiles review:
"Inyri brings us the TSL version of her model based on the Mass Effect 2 M-98 Widow for KotOR I, which was uploaded earlier this week. Since the mod is chiefly the same as the KotOR I version (except for KotOR II, obviously ), here is the review of the K1 version:

N.B.: As this version is for TSL, the information from the KotOR I review is incorrect for the KotOR II version. This, the KotOR II version of the mod, replaces the Mandalorian Assault Rifle in TSL, and not the Sith Sniper Rifle as in KotOR I.

Original Review on Filefront:
 
"This is a great model from Inyri Forge, but I am sad to say that there are no special sounds for it. This is still great though.
 
When I used the �giveitem� cheat to get it in my inventory I equipped the weapon (you need heavy weapons to use it) and started firing at everything I could find. The first thing I noticed was the muzzle flash which was a nice touch, the second thing was that the weapon is an instant kill. While this is realistic, I thought it made the game unbalanced, and too easy.
 
The model of the weapon was great, and combined with the textures it fitted in (better than I expected) with the rest of the weapons in the game. I seriously can�t find anything wrong with the model or it�s textures.
 
In my overall opinion I suggest a download. The model is practically perfect. The textures are practically perfect, and the way the weapon acts in game is god, if slightly unbalanced.
