Here me out here, would it be possible to release the mod as updates or separate mods? You might be familiar with my own NPC Overhaul Series, the NPC Diversity Pack was lackluster when it came out and it's been updated over the years to include new content. Mods like Hearts of Beskar are part of the series but are separate incase people do not want, or cannot use, said mods but still want an NPC Overhaul via the Diversity Pack. The K1 Alien Pack isn't done, far from it, and all the aliens are added via separate installs meaning you can add Devaronians to your game without the Bith and you can add Quarren later when they're added for example. Would you be willing to tell us why this is important? Because I've ported Sith Commandos to Kotor I before, and the inclusion of Sith Commandos in Kotor I doesn't really negate Kotor II. I know you've ported a lot of Kotor II assets into Kotor I, and things like adding Devaronians or Mining Droids into Kotor I wouldn't hurt Kotor II. In the words of the famous Calo Nord: "Smart." Now this is what I mean when I suggest releasing these as separate mods. Having one big Frankenstein of a mod pack is bound to cause issues down the line with other Force Power and Feat mods, and not to mention that if players don't like the feats or powers you add they might just not play the mod, thus missing out on all your added content in-game because they didn't want the powers. Now if the mod was divided into multiple mods, you'd obviously play with all your separate mods together as that is the original intent but others might choose to not use your Feat and Force Power mod, or they might only play with your Feat and Force Power mod. Ultimately, separating your mods will be better because let's say if there is a bug with one of your Force Powers you'd only have to worry about your one Feat and Force Power mod instead of worrying about updating your big mega mod. What I'm saying here isn't your fault by any means, but I know there is at least one player who is boycotting the K1CP mod because of the Sentinel and Consular Class Skill Swap fix included in that mod. Petty, very much so... but if you have your class revisions as a standalone mod you won't have to deal with people downvoting your mod and writing entire essays as to why your changes to the classes are wrong (as is what happened with the K1CP). Can you explain how this works in-game? I thought classes were hard-coded. Care to show us some of these appearances? You mentioned "voice lines". Will these be voiced by an actor or by an AI? I obviously don't care about AI as I used AI to add voices for the generic background characters in the Revenge of Revan mod, but other players definitely do care about AI. Much like the guy who boycotts the K1CP because of the Sentinel and Consular Class Skill Swap fix, players might just avoid your mod if it uses AI. Again, if you were to divide your mod into multiple smaller mods that means the Anti-AI crowd would only avoid the one mod that uses AI whilst they might still use your previously mentioned Feat and Force Power mod and Class revisions mod for example. Will you be uploaded these fixes as standalone fix mods or donate them to the K1CP? I know many players play Kotor I and II with just the restored content mods and bug fix mods so these would definitely be valued as standalone mods without Feats, Force Powers, 100 new appearances, and possible AI voice lines. So what you're saying is that you took Kotor II placeables and "combined" them with the Kotor I modules, this is how you added the Oil Bath in the screenshot you provided without adding a new placeable, right? I would love to see this in-action! I would like to see what you have made here. I would like to hear some of your plans for these modules, and if you aren't wiling to reveal your plans in private then feel free to message me privately. I would like to see what you're doing for the restored Black Vulkar Base, my RC-K1CP mod will restore it at some point but as an optional install so our two mods may just be compatible with one another. I know there was another team working on the Enclave Sublevel, is this a separate project or are you collaborating with, or taking over, the work they did previously? I believe I donated a texture to that project too. I am curious as to how you plan to expand the Dantooine Crystal Cave, it logically makes sense that the cave is small in Kotor I but by the time of Kotor II the Militia bombed the original entrance and so the Kinrath dug out a larger cave system into the Khoonda plains. Are you just going to add new Kinrath enemies/lightsaber crystals, or is this where your disregard for Kotor II comes into play? I believe you've shown some of these off already on YouTube, and just like I've been saying I think separation of the mod into smaller mods, or at least different optional installs like what I did for my K1 Alien Pack might be for the best here. I do recall you added a Kotor II inspired cutscene in the Cantina where a bartender droid shows off the Upper City Cantina, this I felt was a work of art and I would 100% use it... should it be standalone from the other two examples I'm about to list. You added a female Sith Guard to the Sith Base on Taris, and even if she's voiced by an AI or an actor I felt the inclusion of her would be subjective. Some players might like the encounter, others might not. I 100% would use the Protocol Droid scene in the Cantina but might not be so keen on this cutscene. One cutscene I am not keen on is your enhanced Undercity Patrol. I believe you added a parody of the "Death Troopers" from the movie Rogue One with audio ported from Star Wars Battlefront II, unless I am mistaken. You've said that you joined the Kotor Modding Community last year, that's fine - but when I joined the Community almost 10 years ago I joined during the time when porting between Kotor I and II was a bannable offense. I think either TSLRCM or M4-78EP was removed from this site at one point because the end credits included the theme "The Old Republic" from Kotor I in its ending credits. Fun fact: I believe before the ban was lifted in 2018 the Administrators uploaded a blatantly obvious port of audio from Kotor I to Kotor II to see if people would even notice, well I noticed and I pointed it out. I guess you could say my logic in pointing it out back then was "If I can't port, you can't port". Thankfully, porting has been allowed for some time now and it's made the Kotor Modding Community so much more interesting with the mods we're now making. But as someone who made mods during a time when you couldn't port between Kotor I and II, can you understand why I'd be uncomfortable to play a mod that ports audio from Star Wars Battlefront II into Kotor I? Again, I'd happily use your Protocol Droid in the Upper City and probably many of your appearances too, but the Death Trooper is one that I would skip out on... though on the flip side someone might happily use the Death Trooper and skip the Protocol Droid in the Upper City. Regardless of what you might think of my opinion on the Sith Guard and Death Trooper, should you ever release the Protocol Droid in the Upper City, regardless if its standalone or part of a massive mega mod, would you be willing to make a compatibility patch with my RC-K1CP mod which restores the original Protocol Droid bartender to the Upper City Cantina? This is going to sound really dumb after everything I've said but do you think you can add the Taris Middle City into Kotor I? If you're using AI then dialogue and voices for already existing characters and new characters won't be a problem and, through model editing work, you seem to have the competency to make new and unique modules for a hypothetical Middle City section for Taris. But I understand if you don't want to. That'll be good! Also very good, don't make promises - the mod comes when it appears on the site out of the blue. I mean... maybe if you do go with the 'Frankstein Mega Mod' route I might be able to separate things that I like for you. Despite my criticisms with a few things, the standalone assets you've made thus far are fantastic!

Thank you so much for investigating this. I'll keep this in mind for when I return to the GenoHaradan Legacy update!

There's your problem. Refer to the quoted section from the mod page. Try using the cheat "warp lev_m40aa", if that doesn't work then that means not even cheating can fix your problem.

Download that mod, rename "N_Strkiller_H.tga" to "PMHC01.tga" and drop that file in the Override. Doing so should convert one of the vanilla player heads into Starkiller.

Look inside the TSLPatchdata folder of this mod and look for the files with the ".uti" expension. Uti files are the item files, so the word before ".uti" on those files are the cheat codes. For example, the cheat code for the file "g_a_class4099.uti" is "giveitem g_a_class4099".

I just checked and the Movie Style Replacement Lightsaber Hilts (K1) mod doesn't touch the upcrystals.2da file.

Is "ship.mod" inside the tslpatchdata folder?

There's only one way you can go back and redo your build, you use the Kotor Savegame Editor. Now it is possible to use KSE to cheat whether it be giving yourself all the items, all the feats, max skill, max stats etc. Don't do that for this case, let's say if you had 8 feats if you wanted to remove the Dueling and replace it with the Two-Weapon Fighting feat it's technically not cheating as all you've done is swap the two feats around.

Are you quoting Fair Strides? You do know you can click on the "eye" icon on the top of the comment box and use quotes like I am now, doing so will make your comment much easier for others to follow. The sale of mods in the Kotor Modding Community is prohibited, hence why that part is moot. But ignoring the prospect of making money, modding is a hobby - if we wanted to make money doing stuff like this we'd either join a game dev company or focus on indie video game development. He didn't give a deadline, and so there is no expectations for him to release it any time soon. This gives him an unlimited amount of time to development and perfect his mod. Almost 20 years of development and the most recent preview he released is this. That video is pure gold, absolutely amazing stuff, and I'm more than happy to forget about Sleheyron for the time being so that, one day, he can release his mod to that quality. I'm sure if we looked back at SithSpecter's Sleheyron back in 2008 when it was first being developed, if we compared 6 months worth of development to his most up to date almost 20 years of development I'm sure even SithSpecter would agree that the 6 months worth of work is garbage when you compare it to his most up to date work. I'll tell you this, ROR reentered development in the late 2010s and had an internal release of 2021 - everyone would've loved a 2021 ROR release, but if it was released in 2021 it would've been to the exact same quality as the 2011 Demo. We obviously missed the 2021 deadline, but by not announcing it we could just... move on and go about developing the mod as if nothing had happened. There was no outside pressure to release a half-finished mess and by giving ROR more time, and not giving a release deadline, we were able to release ROR Episode One which many can agree is way better than the 2011 Demo. This is why the veteran modders here are pointing out the deadline, albeit I do agree that it does seem a bit harsh. I'm on the same page as Mephiles550 in that I do want to see this mod released. But for modders who lived to see TSLRP and all the drama surrounding that mod back in the day, seeing Sao pop up out of nowhere, claim he's been working on Sleheyron, claim that it's already fully voiced, claim that it already has 30 new areas, claim that it already has a recruitable character, claim that the mod is already finished in May and will be released within May and then go on to withhold screenshots does feel as if history is just repeating itself for these guys. And trust me, I've seen users claim they'll make a recruitable character, then go on to us prominent modders and send a hundred page manuscript for said recruitable character and it turns out the character is a self-insert of the user irl and is just hundreds of pages of pure slop, not even AI just pure handwritten slop, then go on to beg modders like us to make the recruitable character mod for them and then go on to confess that they only have Kotor on the original Xbox. And then there was that one guy who tried to gaslight people into making his "Recruitable Sarna" mod for him too. That's just the stuff I've witnessed, these guys had to deal with Darth Balor and his shenanigans back in the late 2000s. I know Sao isn't like those guys, but the negative reactions here are coming from people who have historically had to deal with crazy people like what I just described. Here's the thing, he hadn't shown screenshots. From the point of view of one of us, Sao is just a profile picture and a username - how do we know he's being serious without screenshots? As I've described, we have had really delusional people in the past make such ambitious projects and they're genuinely Chris Chan level of pathetic. Sao did send screenshots... today, not when SH asked for screenshots hence why there was doubt. But now that Sao has shown us screenshots, it shows us that there is a genuine mod in the works. I'm glad he's posted them and I hope it does see the light of day. I need you to understand that, from our point of view, we wouldn't know that he did any of that - how would we know anyway??? Revenge of Revan is being worked on, but none of you know what's being worked on because we're not revealing it to the public - the same applies here in this situation. She means you're not the team leader of the mod. The team leader would usually be the one to upload the mod when it's ready, and Sao hasn't publicly announced that you're on the Sleheyron: Story Mode dev team - hence her skepticism. It's just like how I'm not the team leader of the Revenge of Revan mod, Logan23 is. Like Sao, you are likewise new to the community. Even if I were the one defending Sao's work, no one is going to change the minds of the veteran modders so there isn't much point in vigorously defending against them. They aren't going to care for your defense and wouldn't care if you blocked them, maybe a proper release could change their minds but even still when Revenge of Revan came out the joke went from "ROR's never going to release" to "remind me in 2045 when Episode Two's going to come out" so there's little point fussing over their opinions. From our own experiences, 10% of WIP threads produce actual mod releases. The other 90% were "making false promises". Trust me, if someone else joined and made another ambitious WIP thread they'll probably think the same thing for their mods too.

No, it isn't. There is a content updated in development, though of course I'm micromanaging the development of several other mods at a time so the only timetable I can give you is "follow the mod via the follow feature on the download page so you'll get a notification for when I do update it."

What Thor110 is trying to say is you've downloaded a .zip of the mod and you've only partially extracted it whether intentional or not. Delete the BOSSR folder, extract the mod for a second time, and search for a "changes.ini" file. If it's not present again, let us know.
