So I have the ZIP version but I now get this error. Suggestions?

 

That messagebox should be impossible. There are pre-validators that run before an installation even starts to prevent issues such as that.

Given that instruction #2 is attempting to move

<<modDirectory>>/tslrcm_*/*

 straight into the game folder, my best guess is you have a folder named 'tslrcm_something' that's empty in your mod directory. If your log files say 'newSourcePath' or something in the exception that would confirm. So the solution would be to cleanup any folders in your `mod directory` and ensure you have permission. Try running the built-in permission fixer tool. Alternatively, try running modsync as root, or as admin on windows (or vice versa if the error occurred with escalated privileges).

If that doesn't work you're looking at several bypass solutions:

The easiest would be to first install with the EXE, then run the install exactly as you did, and press the X in the upper right when the error pops up. Doing so should abort the install while still in the installation loop, which IIRC should then consider tslrcm an installed component. If by some chance you don't get the same error again (which again should be impossible: the installer is made to reproduce the same results every time), there are no functional game changes or stipulations caused by unzipping over prior tslrcm installs, since the EXE installer is just a glorified unzipper itself.

The other slightly more involved workaround would be modify the instructions.

1. Click TSLRCM on the lefthand side of the app.

2. Click 'raw edit' tab.

3. Delete everything that is below the following:

[[thisMod]]
Guid = "d2bf7bbb-4757-4418-96bf-a9772a36a262"
Name = "The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod 2022"
Author = "zbyl2, DarthStoney, Hassat Hunter & VarsityPuppet"
Category = "Essential"
Description = "The whole reason why you would mod KOTOR 2, the legendary mod that includes bugfixes, restored content, and altered scenes to return the game to what it was meant to be. This mod isn't just essential--it's mandatory."
Directions = "Executable. Recall that M4-78 is incompatible with this build; do not use it alongside TSLRCM! Remember also that the Workshop version of this or any other mod is NOT to be used!"
IsSelected = true
Language = ["All"]
ModLink = ["https://deadlystream.com/files/file/578-tsl-restored-content-mod/", "https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/156EqzmEESrxksm1f0cPl2tMUf-AOUt8Y?usp=sharing"]
[[thisMod.Instructions]]
Action = "Extract"
Overwrite = true
Source = ["<<modDirectory>>/tslrcm_*.zip"]

instruction #2 is the move action. So it, and everything under it will be deleted, leaving you with a singular 'extract'.

Why is it this convoluted/necessary and why is it not easy to skip a mod?

The whole point of the app is to guarantee that any user using the same options as another user are guaranteed to aggregate the exact same installation. ModSync uses identifiers to determine what's installed, to determine what all can and can't be installed, and it also affects the install order. If you were to deselect tslrcm, all the mods that rely on it would no longer be triggered.

If you pin some error logs here I can hopefully fix the bug for you and the next unfortunate soul. I am unable to reproduce the issue on my machine so it very well could be platform-specific.

If you are seeing this as an end user you most likely need to whitelist KOTORModSync and HoloPatcher in your antivirus, or download the missing mods.

It's failing to pre-validate that the file in the archive being installed indeed exists in the archive. My guess is the archive you downloaded is corrupted/incorrect. Try running again with 'verbose' mode enabled, see if the logs have any more useful information.

Hello @th3w1zard1.  First time user of KOTORModSync here.

I've had a few issues that I've mostly been able to resolve on my own but one final one seems to remain.  KOTORModSync isn't recognizing TSLRCM correctly.

At first I thought it may be something as simple as a missing underscore in the file name or the EXE file not being in a ZIP file but those attempted workarounds haven't succeeded.  Would you helping an old man figure out what he's doing wrong? Hopefully the attached picture may give you a clue.

I was given permission to reupload as a .zip. You need to use the ZIP version of TSLRCM, The EXE version is NOT compatible.

You can find a link in the app itself, click on 'tslrcm' at the left side and the link is at the top of the Summary tab.

Hey th3w1zard1, I'm having some issues successfully completing the Pre-install Validation step without errors because the tool cannot find two mods, specifically Scoundrel DS Underwear Fix.7z and Bastila Shan (clothing) HD.rar.

I've downloaded all of the mods from the Mod Build page, and they are all on the dowloaded mods directory I have pointed the tool to. However, it still cannot detect that the Scoundrel DS Underwear mod is there. I am not sure that the Bastila Shan HD mod is part of the build, as well.

The output log from the Pre-Validation attempt:

If you are seeing this as an end user you most likely need to whitelist KOTORModSync and HoloPatcher in your antivirus, or download the missing mods.

Is the instruction file up to date, perhaps? And as these are the only two missing mods, could I install anyway and play  without them?z

Thank you for your help.

Edit for more info: Looking at the mod that the mod build calls for, I think the .toml is calling for the wrong mod. It's calling for Male Scoundrel Underwear Fix by Stellar Exile instead of Scoundrel Trousers by DarkBirdie.

Edit for yet more info: I figured out how to use the the entries in the loaded .toml to find the missing mods and add them and I am now getting no errors. I also added the Scoundrel Trousers mod manually. Nonetheless, I believe there is a dysync between the KOTOR1_SPOILER_FREE.toml file and the current list on Neocities.

Oops, you're 100% correct. I had the wrong scoundrel mod in there compared to neocities. Has been fixed on the main page.

TSLRCM doesn't package the 702KOR module into a .MOD file because it will break cutscenes, though no one is able to figure out why exactly does that happen. 401DXN is another module that TSLRCM doesn't package into a MOD file.

I have made two mods (Darth Sion and Male Exile Mod and Lonna Vash Mod for TSLRCM) that affect the 702KOR and are installed by injecting or patching files in its _dlg.erf and _s.rim, and they work fine.

What files are you trying to inject into the 702KOR module?

Posting in case someone comes along with the same question...

The reason they break cutscenes has been solved. It was not the game's fault, rather the tools modders have been using to pack .MOD's in the past.

Creating the `702KOR.mod` with Holocron Toolset for instance makes the whole thing completely playable without issue. Presumably the same with 401DXN.

Creating tools is my specialty. Let me know if you're finding some task in this project incredibly tedious, that a specialized tool could address. Would love to help out.

Any order is fine. K2 FPs doesn’t add battle meditation so they shouldn’t conflict.

Thanks, was about 99% sure that was the case after checking `changes.ini` but wanted to triple check.

Cheers! Thank you for making this!

If using your K2 force powers in K1, do I install this before or after, or does it not matter?

Couldn't find any information on the readme's about it.

EDIT: All of this is fixed.
I won't have time to update the instructions and do tests but you can download the previous version it's looking for, just press this button on the DS page. v1.3.1 is what you want. Looks like @Ashton Scorpius updated their mod to use my latest update of HoloPatcher. From what I can tell no content changes were made.

As for the dm_qrts yeah it looks like I accidentally used the archive from the full build. Both should be the same thing, since you aren't interacting with the archive outside of KOTORModSync there shouldn't be any spoilers but otherwise just try not to read the main DS page when downloading it.

Sorry I couldn't provide a direct fix at the moment but I hope this at least gets your install going if you did want those two mods.

@Guysabosssome mods have both a patch and the mod itself. Make sure you have everything it's telling you you need, the archive file names were up to date last I checked. Stuff like TSL Twilek heads also have compatibility patches for the UCO with similar names that you also need.

if all of that sounds too daunting, just unselect the ones that are erroring. You should ideally only be selecting the ones you want anyway, it's unlikely you'll want every single mod in that list.

There is an alien that drops off the Gizka on your ship when you arrive on Tatooine. Despite how annoying this is, the game doesn't give you an option to kill him. A simple dialog option that starts combat, and some extra dialog nodes from him to express disbelief/apologetic tone would be all this idea needs

i am having this issue 9 years later and it's enraging. what i don't understand is, I've finished this game before, with TSLRCM, and not had a broken game at malachor. i don't know why it's happening. I don't even get a cut scene - i get to thr fourth console,they claim the mass shadow generator is optional, but the "notes" log still says i have found the third and have one to go. 

Are you running any other mods?

After spending 5 minutes on this issue (so take this with a grain of salt) I've determined there is no .MOD issue (at least with 702KOR). The issue you guys were experiencing is a bug in KOTOR Tool or ERFEdit or whatever tool you used to create the .mod.

Using Holocron Toolset to create the .mod worked fine. I've tested the whole module with one of @Leilukin's light side saves, start->finish, no sequence breaks.

Probably the same problem in 401DXN

Can you open a terminal and execute:

find "~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Knights of the Old Republic II/KOTOR2.app" > ~/tree_result_k2.txt && open ~/tree_result_k2.txt

and post the results? This'll show me the long-awaited directory structure for the second game.

For the first game:

find "~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/swkotor/Knights of the Old Republic.app" > ~/tree_result_k1.txt && open ~/tree_result_k1.txt

there's also the mac store version of the games, after someone comes along with that information, every known version will be supported.

Thanks for providing the folderpath, I've put out several PSA's over this project's release asking for a user with the mac version to please share their directory structures to no avail until now.

When you pointed an incorrect path, did any instructions actually run before it noticed the incorrect gamepath?

TSLpatching don't work on my mac (M1), any mod that has TSLpatching step fails with error: [Error] FAILED Instruction #2 Action 'TSLPatcher', any ideas? Do I need to install Wine? According to your instructions it’s not needed.

Please post your logs. Should be in the same directory as KOTORModSync.app. Might be inside the .app, i.e. /KOTORModSync.app/Contents/MacOS/logs

TSLpatching in that documentation is used as a verb. The action itself is supported by multiple patchers. TSLPatcher as a noun is *not* compatible with mac/linux (without wine).

Use the HoloPatcher option, cross-platform compatible without requiring wine, which should be default.

Actually, the validators should be making it impossible to choose the 'tslpatcher' option in any non-windows env to begin with? I'll look into that later, but for now just make sure you use HoloPatcher.

Given that you're on mac you might need to unquarantine kotormodsync/holopatcher. Check System Preferences -> Security to see if it flagged holopatcher for some reason. It's difficult to tell you the issue without the logs.

What I can tell you is that I tested on Sonoma/Catalina last week, using copied windows/linux kotor installations. I don't own the Mac Store/Steam versions of kotor so I haven't been able to test those.

It do be feeling like I do more testing than actually making things. That resonated deeply with me. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Large work has gone into ensuring the patcher can mirror TSLPatcher 1:1. Some additional features have been added by request and some TSLPatcher bugs have been fixed.

Source code can be found here: https://github.com/NickHugi/PyKotor/tree/master/pykotor/tslpatcher

If you've ever wondered why TSLPatcher is throwing an error with your mod or why certain patches don't seem to be applied correctly with TSLPatcher, this is a great resource to finding the problem.

If you don't understand or want to learn Python, large work has gone into documenting each function and public classes. Just read the docstrings.

If you ever needed to install a TSLPatcher mod on Mac or Linux, the library will run natively (without wine) on most distros of Mac and Linux - and resolve case-sensitivity issues.

The PyKotor library is the same library used for the HoloPatcher and the Holocron Toolset projects. - both are inherently cross-platform KOTOR tools.

This post isn't made to be a plug to HoloPatcher or the toolset, but more a general resource for users and modders alike.

Hey there Friend I have a error that is confusing me the error in the kotor 2 full mod build the mod sync says that it cannot detect some of the mod and yes I have download the file and put them on my mod folder if you have a solution for this Please reply the message

Can you show the output from the output window when this happens? What operating system build are you using (win10 x86, win7 x64, linux, etc)

If anyone needs any support with this installer, please reach out. This project was developed by a team of one person, there's only so many bugs I can test and catch. If you run into any problems: any at all, please don't hesitate to contact me here or on the GItHub.

I cannot fix a problem if I don't know it exists.
