    Not sure if any of the rest of you got in on the Limited Run editions of KOTOR but the Master Editions finally got sent out this week. If you didn't, I made a simple unboxing video to show what is inside! Definitely check it out. The master edition is full of cool stuff, and I'm super happy with it.

    Best parts of it are the hard cover strategy guide, full of tons of info about nearly every aspect of the game (I'm curious if anyone here knows if any strategy guide from the past was used for it?), the security spike USB drive, the saber replicas, and the Ebon Hawk pin.

    Check it out!

    I'm a bit rusty when it comes to KOTOR modding, but I haven't seen this happen. I added a saber as a new item (not replacing the existing ones) and it works fine, but I can't upgrade it. When I go to the workbench, I select the saber, and it disappears from the workbench and my inventory completely. I haven't found any threads about this. Is that normal or am I missing something?

    At JKHub we require author's permission to be uploaded, and if it's granted, we move the file to a neutral account, and make sure the author's name is the biggest font and saying it's theirs. If someone can't reach the author at all, we allow it to be uploaded if it's been longer than 30 days since they attempted contact. And we have a link for the original author to contact us if they want it taken down. That's handled completely by us, no need to even tell the uploader because it's not even their file.

     

    We do ask for proof of attempted contact with a timestamp, like from an email or PM or something. That way we can show the author an attempt was made.

     

    We made that the new policy because we understand that a lot of JK modders simply moved on from the community completely, and probably will never return to upload their files. But if they knew FileFront was gone and JKHub was the main place for their mods to be downloaded, I'm pretty confident they'd be okay with it. And if not, we can take it down.

     

    Obviously this is a grey area, especially around here, but we feel it's the best compromise we could reach.

    It's not a matter of preserving mods, its the ill-intent of some people that upload them and take credit OR certain modders specifically don't want anyone to upload their content places without their permission. Even if you give credit or show that the real author made it, they didn't give permission to be uploaded anywhere but where they uploaded it.

     

    However we have a semi-loose rule at JKHub about this. I believe it's black/white here as far as that goes.

    Except that Galaxy in Turmoil would be competing with Battlefront, AFAIK there are no upcoming licensed SW RPGs that Apeiron would get in the way of.

     

    Pretty sure they've hinted at a new Bioware RPG, haven't they? I know they've been treating the new SWTOR expansions as such, but I'm fairly certain there was confirmation of a new Bioware SW game slated for the future.

     

    Either way, its not really about competition. It's something they could be capitalising on, but have decided not to. It's their brand, their IP.

     

    Not only that, but they have a contract with EA for them to deliver SW games. Lucasfilm asked EA if they'd bring in the indie studio doing Galaxy in Turmoil, because LF was willing to negotiate a deal, but EA can't just randomly bring in another studio under their publishing. That's a huge deal.

     

    Same would go for the people behind Apeiron.

    I flipped them to avoid the above result. :P I wasn't sure why it was the case but I had recalled other mods that had flipped textures and that seemed to be the fix in this case. Should work fine out of the box, but if you edit them you may need to flip depending on the format, as explained above.

    So this is just to protest Steam's smartphone authenticator? Seems like a knee-jerk reaction on your part, if so. I understand the frustration with that, but in the end, Valve won't care. Just because one mod for an 11 year old game gets pulled, doesn't mean they'll change their minds on it.

    Good effort, but nothing earth-shattering. Personally, I wouldn't call slapping a leather texture overlay onto the default low-res ones a HD remake.

     

    That's why I didn't call it an HD remake. Also, more was done than a leather texture overlay.

     

    But yes, was just a quick little mod I did a few years ago. Figured I'd release it since there wasn't anything like it for Bastila yet.

    File Name: Higher Quality Bastila

    File Submitter: Circa

    File Submitted: 22 Feb 2016

    File Category: Skins

    K1R Compatible: Yes

     

     

    This is a fairly simple reskin of Bastila, to make her textures look a bit better quality. There are lots of great people that make amazing HD reskins of KOTOR models, but Bastila hasn't been done yet, so I figured I'd make a temporary skin for people to use until someone makes a better one. This isn't really "HD" in my opinion.

     

    It's not perfect, at all. Maybe I'll work on it more in the future.

    Wow. Extremely complicated for such a simple concept that I want. Thanks for the replies, guys. If someone with experience wants to whip this up for me, that would be awesome. Otherwise I'll need to sit and take the time to figure this out later when I have the motivation to do so. :P Was hoping to get it done before I play through again.

     

    Could this be moved to the requests subforum? In case there's a chance someone will make it.

    Alright, so I'm trying to figure out how to mod this game again. It's been years. I found the footlocker UTP file that I want to add the armor to. I add it and all is well on Windows. But when I go to Mac, it crashes the game. Not really sure why.

     

    Also, how does the icon system work? Do I have to point to the icon file name for it to work? I tried naming it ia_rep_armour.tga, since that's the name of the UTI file, but that didn't work.

     

    Sorry for the noobness. I'm a JKA modder, not a KOTOR modder. :P

     

     

    I also did this as part of the K1 version of the Overhaul.

    Nice. I want to make it a standalone mod though, if possible.

    WAT

     

    I searched on GF with the word "republic" and only a couple came up that weren't those. Wow. Thank you.

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question, or if I'm posting this in the wrong section. Saw other requests so hopefully I'm right. :P

     

    I'm looking for a mod for K1 that lets you wear Republic armor, and replaces or adds it to the footlocker on the Endar Spire. I always felt that since you were a soldier with the Republic, you would have the outfit to match that role.

     

    I saw a mod that replaces the Soldier class outfit with Republic soldier armor, but is there a mod that adds it as an outfit?

     

    I seem to remember this sort of mod existing on Filefront or maybe even pcgamemods, but I can seem to find any mention of it anywhere.
