"Ten years ago in 1997, we first saw the planet of Coruscant in the Special Edition of Return of the Jedi. It was only a brief appearance. In 1999, The Phantom Menace came out and we really got a good look at Coruscant and especially the Jedi Temple and the Senate Chambers. It was a city planet and the capital planet of the Republic in Star Wars. Then in the sequel of 2003�s game of the year, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, we saw a brief appearance of Coruscant when your PC, the Jedi Exile, watches a video of his/her trial and exile from the Jedi Order that happened ten years earlier. We only got to see the Jedi Council chambers and a brief look outside the windows. Over the last two plus years since TSL came out, people wished that the KOTOR had already included Coruscant in one of their releases, or will include it if there is to be a KOTOR III.
 
DeathDisco makes his FileFront debut bringing us that wish and he does it for TSL. The author is a veteran KOTOR modder at Holowan Labs who has made his way to putting up his first and his newest KOTOR mod here at FileFront. Hopefully he�ll send in his older mods to us in the future for some new KOTOR gamers to enjoy!
 
This mod will definitely be a welcome addition because of the hard work and detail put into it. Since your character is a Jedi, the author has you go to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. There you can receive extra Jedi training, Force Forms, Lightsaber Forms, and practice your blaster bolt deflection skills. There are also new items for you to collect only on Coruscant. Lots of features and surprises the author wants you to figure out by playing the mod.
 
This mod uses the TSL Patcher for easy installation and possible .2da file merging depending on what mods you have in your personal override folder. You should notice the new planet on the galaxy map on the Ebon Hawk. There is a screenshot showing a visual of that if you need it. Enjoy the mod.

"Anyone else remember this mod of deathdisco's? A while ago it was posted on pcgamemods, and like all the others that were it was lost during the crash. Until now, at least! He's (obviously, or you wouldn't be reading this) been kind enough to re-submit it here.
 
What it adds is, as the name rather implies, Exar Kun's tomb to the game. It's a bit outdated compared to some of today's new area mods, (in that it re-uses an area) but it's still worth exploring. Most of it is a hackfest through the various Dark Jedi guardians (hurrah for more XP), but at the end your character will be confronted by Exar Kun's ghost and have the opportunity for an alignment shift as well as some good loot.
 
To reach the tomb visit the Yavin space station, and then go back to the Hawk. At that point you'll be presented with an option to travel to Yavin IV, though if you don't have a savegame handy you can always warp to the module directly. (The name being 'ekun'.)
 
Well, that's that. Enjoy!

"What many users loved about Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords was the ability to check lightsaber forms for certain types of situations, especially duels that were going to either be somewhat of a challenge or very challenging to help get an extra advantage. This was one of the many great new features Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords had to offer.
 
What I think is great is when modders find ways to give those types of great features into the first Knights of the Old Republic game. Deathdisco is back. He�s the author who brought us the hit mod Coruscant - The Jedi Temple for Knights of the Old Republic II: This Sith Lords is back with this fabulous mod for Knights of the Old Republic. In fact, it was a year ago today that his Coruscant mod went up on this site. This mod that he gave us used to be on PCGM and we're glad he finally decided to upload it here.
 
There will be seven forms you can use during game play now. Those are listed in the readme and what types of bonuses you get from them. To use them in the game, the author made them into armbands and those have the different bonuses that those forms gave you in TSL. Some of them require certain feats to use them. Information how to get them and is in the readme file also. It's really self explanatory and there is a screenshot to give you a visual on how to get them on the Ebon Hawk after you get the first one after constructing your lightsaber. Enjoy the mod!

This mod introduces Lightsaber forms for Knights of the Old Republic.
I have created armbands to represent the seven different Lightsaber forms.
 
Armbands presented the most feasible way to be able to switch between forms.
Unfortunately there are limitations to using armbands ie: you can't increase
or decrease damage (since it's not a weapon), or add a negative value to an attack
modifier. To compensate I did things like edit the strength attribute to adjust damage(+/-)
as a workaround.
 
Form I - Shii-Cho
 
The Determination Form, also known as Shii-Cho
or Form I, is the basic style taught to beginners.

other Lightsaber forms.
 
On the Ebon Hawk is a new computer in the main hold of the ship (the holo projector in
the center of the ship is now accessible). You can use the computer to access the Holocron.
