Alright guys. This is my first time posting but I love this game and owned it on the XBOX, own it on Steam, and now that I have a Mac I also bought it on GOG.com. I want to play this game specifically with this MOD.[TSLRCM]
I have questions.
Now, if anyone knows how to install this mod on a MacAir could you please PM me or answer here and possibly we can sticky this. I searched the forums and found no such animal so now I want to figure out how to do this.
Now, I can play the vanilla version with some simple mods that I need to drag and drop into the override folder. I use PalltheTalls "Porting Kit app" to then make a wineskin app for KOTOR2 that I can then manipulate from the Application folder which looks exactly like the files on your C Drive. It basically creates a mirrored C: Drive that can function within OS X. I also have the program CrossOver to run .exe files. It does not work with larger programs, such as KOTOR2, hence why I use Porting Kit for GOG games.
Now, I am wondering what I need to do to install this mod onto my system. I freaking love this game and I have only heard amazing things about this mod and have never used it before.
I have a few ideas on how to do this but I do not know which one will work or even if I am close on how to accomplish this. And I have tried a few things already but I explain. No installer ever pops up for me when I play this on my Mac Laptop and I vaguely remember what it looks like but that could be a false memory it was so long ago.
So here is what I have done already:
1) Run the TSLRCM 183b.exe using CrossOver.
2) When it asks where to download the files into I:
2a) Go into the applications folder and find my swkotor2 app and go to show contents.
2b) Go into the C: Drive and find the GOG.games folder (easy to find with only 5 total files in the false C: Drive) and then click to download into the SWKOTOR2 folder.
......Now here is where I get confused because of my lack of knowledge on how the installer works. Because essentially I see a duplicates of all the major file folders but since the installer program that Windows users have does not run on a Mac even with the Wineskin app I am left with a bunch of files inside several folders that are also contained within the KOTOR2 main files.
So should I :
Idea #1) Simply copy the files inside the folders and paste into the corresponding vanilla file folder and overwrite the duplicates? So copy the TSLRCM contents of the override folder into the corresponding Vanilla override folder. Also the remaining module, lib, etc folders??
--- I have tried this with a previous version of TSLRCM before I realized that wasn't the most up to date version and found this site while trying to find this answer. The good news about this Idea #1 is that when I tried this with the 1.5 version of this mod I could load up the game and play and it actually seemed to run smoother but I didn't play long enough or know enough about the content of this mod to tell the difference in Peregus. It didn't crash the game and it played without glitches so that has to be a good sign.
--- Is there any way to tell in the MOD is running and I am not just playing the vanilla game without having to have me play through the entire game?
Idea #2) I have no idea #2 except to figure out how to get the installer working but I really have no idea on where to start with that.
TL;DR ---- There is absolutely no way to shorten this. So if you went straight to this you can't answer the question.
Thank you all so much if any of you give any time and consideration to this post and problem! I appreciate it in advance!
