Wtf man ur so awsome 😍

One thing though did u make a obi-wan

One because the class is awsome

But of its ok because there still awsome 

I did not make the Obi-Wan robe, this is because I chose to follow the "vanilla" robe setup (Brown, Black, Red, Blue, Qel-Droma). It is possible to make the Obi-Wan robe, though I'd rather make that (along with other textures) at a later date post-release.

I have sent you the Beta via PM.

Please  port these  robes to kotor 1

@Revanbeta50 I've already done just that!

I'll PM you shortly with the Beta test version.

The mod has been released, just needs to be approved by a moderator... so god knows how long that'll be!

But for those wondering, this will be the eventually link to the mod. If the mod isn't approved then this should just lead to a blank tab (Unless you are a moderator of course 😁), but when it is approved this link will lead to the mod, and for you future viewers of this post, enjoy the mod:

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the mod in someway/contributed to this thread in someway, I couldn't have done it without you guys! I hope to make more mods in the future, and to answer @Mephiles550's observation of The Champ's species being in K1, I have indeed discovered where exactly the Chadra-Fan where going to spawn, so that might be one of my next mods coming in the future!

Do i have to reinstall the entire game or just start from the beginning? I installed the mod around the peragus T3 sequence.

I'd say start a new game. Assuming you start the game after you installed TSLRCM these sort of bugs shouldn't persist.

The more I'm looking at it, I'm guessing that @Jango32 was correct and that this definitely feels more like an Early Selkath attempt than anything else. Makes sense, I guess.

Now that it's reskinned, I'm starting to see exactly what you guys mean. I'm sure this game was the first real appearance for the Selkath so that doesn't seem too far fetched.

I wonder if "Pyrath" would be a good name for this species, this name was chosen as this species would be from "Pyr" which is a planet in the same system as Manaan. This way there could be some form of connection between Selkath and the "Pyrath" species.

Good job restoring what you could.

I was actually contacted by DarthParametric yesterday and it turns out that I had set the wrong body type in the 2da, that resulted in the broken animations and by fixing it I have since restored the animations of the NPC.

So I will hopefully get a mod ready real soon!

Got some good news... and some bad news.

The good news, I made the skin!:

And I'm sure from that screenshot above, you can already see what the bad news is.

For those who aren't familiar with models, that "T-Pose" the alien is doing is the result of a lack of animations, very similar to what I theorized with @Mephiles550 above. I tested this bad boy out, and it turns out he lacks an idle animation, a walking animation, a death animation and presumably combat animations. That means my plan of adding this guy in random locations in the galaxy isn't going to be a thing after all 

Oddly enough, when you speak to the alien he THEN has animations as seen here:

After the convo

But when you leave the module and return he's back to T-Posing! 

So what I think I'm going to do is restore him in the Manaan Swoop Track area, taking the place of one of the Gran's as their ambient scripts make them perform animations which prevents T-Posing.

Uh, there is an N_alien01_low model? Where?

Inside the models.bif as part of the BIF section of Kotor Tool. No texture exists for this alien, just the model.

Here are some more screenshots of the alien from different angles.

Anyway, I'd go for "unknown generic filler alien".

I had a look through a bunch of Star Wars aliens, could not find one which matched the model.

If I'm able to reskin it and still can't find it's species, I might consider allowing the community to submit name proposals and we'll all vote on the species new name.

The red one could be a messed up version of the Devaronian, just without the horns. The clothing also gives that away to me, alot of Devaronians are seen wearing that type of garb (bulky and open upper jacket, too-cool-for-school look, biker gang, etc)

I was thinking something like that, the Bulky Jacket does feel like a biker gang type of NPC... though I don't think it's a Devaronian per say.

Quote

The blue one could be a Gand, It's got the same bug head thing going on that the Gand have.

I agree with you on this one! The body of this alien looks similar to the K1 Quarren, though look closely at the arms.

Notice how the Gands arms are sticking out in a T-Pose? That's usually how NPC models look like when viewed from a model viewing program.

Here's an example:

Assuming the NPC has NO animations in-game (like, none at all, no breathing, no idle animations etc), it will appear in-game as a T-Pose and if it was moving across the map then it simply glides along the ground in that T-Pose because the leg's aren't animated either. If this Gand was a very early draft alien, then it could be assumed that it was never animated and thus appears as a T-Pose in the image here:

Quote

It could also be a Sullistan, but the eyes aren't spaced quite the same.

Unlikely, it looks more like a fly then whatever this is supposed to be:

And as we both know, the Gand do look like flies.

Quote

Those feint blue streaks coming down from the head to the torso on sprite also match the same pattern of the Gand's breathing tubes seen in Kotor 2.

That could be possible.

Quote

Both species would be seen in Kotor 2 and some species had model updates from K1 to K2, so it's not a big revelation to think that these sprites were cutouts of older models for the Gands and Devaronians. Alien01's (the one I suspect is a very early Gand WIP) model height could be attributed to how they barely worked on the thing and didn't put time in to provide it with the proper height. 

You see, I don't think Obsidian would've selected their new aliens based on one unused sprite in the game files of K1. Inside the alien VO 2da file exists an entry for  an alien species called a "Gotal": https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Gotal

Only the name is ever mentioned, there is absolutely no evidence of Gotal's being a thing for K2 other than that one name mention in a 2da. It can safely be assumed the Gotal's probably became Devaronian's in the end and that the decision to make the K2 aliens were totally independent from K1.

Quote

What I find interesting is that the bottom left sprite is a perfect match to that little mouse alien in Kotor 2 (the one in the Nar Shaddaa cantina who helps T3 get into Vogga's warehouse). That means that they must've already had the model finished, but didn't include it into Kotor 1 for some reason.

That's because it IS. That mouse alien is called a Chadra-Fan, though in the game files it's only ever referred to as N_alien03_low as I wrote on the image. 

In K2, the N_alien02_low Gran was replaced with the actual Gran alien and the N_alien05_low Quarren was replaced by an actual Quarren. But N_alien03_low was unchanged, why? That is because N_alien03_low, the Chadra-Fan, was never used in K1 despite it existing in the game files.

Oh, and an interesting thought:

The reason why I suspect the Chadra-Fan was unused in K1 was because the Quarren, Gran and Chadra-Fan were supposed to be "Lite" NPCs. And since they were just designated as "aliens" they simply existed to be background characters, that is why you only see 1 Quarren with Bith VO (Pre-release screens from early 2003 show more Quarren background NPCs on Tatooine who were cut), the Gran simply exist as two swoop fans on Manaan with Duro VO and a has a small role as a GenoHaradan target with Gamorrean VO (Inconsistent) so the Chadra-Fan were probably intended to be background unimportant NPCs with Jawa VO most likely.

It's a good thing Obsidian used them and gave them unique VO though.

In the Taris Duel Arena texture files, a file called "LTS_Crowd01.tga" exists which contains these 6 aliens.

These low poly, 2D images were probably going to be sprites in the Taris Duel Arena crowd before being left unusued in the end. In this image, you can see a Twi'lek (A very common NPC), a Gran (Only 3 Gran's exist in K1), a Quarren (Only 1 Quarren exists in K1), a Chadra-Fan (An unused alien which was later used in K2) and a purple robed alien and a pink alien of unknown origin.

The Twi'lek was probably using the Lite model, which looks like this:

The rest of the aliens that do exist in K1 use the N_alien models. N_alien01_low is missing, N_alien02_low is a Quarren, N_alien03_low is a Chadra-Fan, N_alien04_low is missing and N_alien05_low is a Gran.

What's the point of mentioning all of this?

Well, I found N_alien01_low's model in the game files. Since it's texture does not exist, I decided to apply N_alien01_low''s model to N_alien05_low thus giving  N_alien01_low a Gran texture, this is the result:

After seeing this model, I belief I have found some sort of missing link here:

Now the final missing link here is: WTF IS THIS THING SUPPOSED TO BE? And what is N_alien04_low supposed to be as well? Keep in mind, N_alien04_low's model doesn't exist in the game files unfortunately.

If someone could fetch me the UV layout of N_alien01_low's model, I will happily attempt to create a texture for this bad boy... and for you non-Modder's, let's theorize what on earth I found and what species this thing is.

Where can we download the chris cornell mod?

Since this is a WIP thread for VarsityPuppet and the Chris Cornell head was posted by VarsityPuppet in this WIP thread, it can be a safe bet that Chris Cornell's head would be uploaded by VarsityPuppet.

But since Chris Cornell's head hasn't yet been uploaded, a more appropriate question would be to ask @VarsityPuppet if he has any intention of uploading the Chris Cornell head.

So my game runs very poorly and I thought it was because the widescreen mods but I disabled all of them and made a fresh install of the game and the game still runs very poorly. I don't know how to fix it I've looked online and couldn't find anything so I am coming here to ask for help. Any help on getting it to run smoothly with widescreen fixes would be greatly appreciated. 

Could you describe your system specs? Have you played Kotor before installing the widescreen mods? If you have, did Kotor lag then? Can you describe how the game runs very poorly? Does it run poorly the moment you boot up the game? Does it run poorly and lag when you create a character? Does it run poorly in-game? Does it run poorly when the player character is near smoke effects? How exactly does it run poorly?

These are some of the questions we'll need answered if we are to determine the source of your problem:
 

It is recommended you answer these following questions from 1 to 12, this can be used as a framework to keep your answers organised for us modder's to read.

Quote

1) During the game, when did the problem begin to occur?
2) Did you install the latest version of the mod?
3) What version of the game do you have? (Steam, GOG, 4CD, KotOR Collection?) What region is the game designed for if it's the 4 CD version?
4) Did you update your game as required by your game's region? (4-CD version ONLY)
5) Did you use the TSLPatcher, if provided?
6) Were there any errors in the TSLPatcher installation?
7) What other mods have you installed? Please give an accurate list and provide links to each of these mods - even if they are found on this site. (We don't actually know them all!.)
😎 Can you be more specific about the error? At what point did it happen?
9) Have you tried re-downloading the mod?
10) Have you tried using a different save game?
11) Have you tried starting a new game?
12) What Operating System do you use? (List Virtual Machines as well if you are using them.)

Hello to all who might take interest in this, I was recently testing out some textures for another user who made some textures for Nar Shaddaa. During playtesting, I noticed what appeared to be a minor, yet visibly obvious, a bug that appears to be present in one of the 303NAR module models. I removed the texture mod and as expected these bugs were visible even with the original textures as you can see here below:

Exhibit A: Notice how the terminal on the left is brightly lit up, whilst the terminal on the right is dark.

Exhibit B: This terminal is in the exact same room as exhibit A, this terminal and the other terminal might be part of the same room model.

Both of these light and dark terminals are found in the droid control room inside Vogga's warehouse, where T3 acquires the ID signature. But these aren't the only locations in the same module where these terminals occur, in the image below you can see the same dark terminal texture in the cut dock rooms but this time the dark terminal on the left is lit up like the terminal on the right:

I theorize that this is some sort of lighting issue with the model, this isn't urgently in need of a fix; though it would be good if it was fixed as this issue was *really* noticeable when playing with Nar Shaddaa texture packs.

In addition to the lighting issue, there is also this massive crack in the wall outside the Docks which can X-Ray into the apartments as you can see here:

I don't think that'd be possible, feats are hard coded in these games and as such we cannot modify them unfortunately.

Hello, @N-DReW25!

I have downloaded this modification of yours and browsed through some of the files and I have a curiosity: what NPC(s) are you using the Sullustan model for? Pretty cool to have Sullustan too in KotOR.

I also like the PMBI31/PFBI31 texture. 

My memory on that is a bit stiff, but I do recall putting Sullustan's on Manaan (With English VO, replaces a Republic Soldier), in the Hidden Bek Base (A Sullustan is 100% inside the Control Room) and possibly inside the Lower City Cantina (As I replaced most of the commoner NPCs with aliens).

Thank you for the compliments, I'm sure it has more to love... though do keep in mind that this mod may still have some "minor" bugs but 98% of the time the mod should still be fun and enjoyable. If you run into a bug, have a complaint or have general feedback feel free to hit me up in the PMs or leave it on the mod's comment section on the file page and I'll be happy to assist!

I love the Robe! Maybe have him equip his armor when his battle comes around

That's actually possible!

The utc for Davik's intro and the utc for Davik's battle are two different files meaning just this is possible.

I did something very similar for my K1 Gameplay Improvement mod actually:

First I do know ZM90's intention and also I can get Carth out for awhile. I want to talk about getting the uniform itself.

We have two events. Sith party or saving Hidden Bek spy. As far as I know K1R made both events appeat in one playthrough so we can get Carth's uniform. But I seemed to stuck, if I go to party Hidden Bek spy doesn't appear and vice versa. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Need help.

In vanilla, let's say if you went to the Sith Party then the Hidden Bek spy doesn't spawn, if you went to the Hidden Bek spy instead then the Sith Party doesn't spawn.

In K1R, both of them spawn regardless. You go to one event and then you go to the next event, if one of them hasn't spawned then most likely you got an incompatibility/bug on your hand.

Has the updated version been uploaded yet? I've looked everywhere and can't find this great mod anywhere.

Reread LDR's last response:

I've really thought about it, but honestly I still feel the mod was pretty amateurish and I'd rather upload the updated version once I have the time to get around to finishing it.

Since LDR hasn't yet announced he's finished the updated Kotor 1 Improvement mod, we know that he hasn't uploaded it.

I know he's recently finished another mod he's been working on... so I'm not sure if finishing and releasing another so soon is on his agenda, perhaps @LDR can chip in here?

Yes, yes, it is a well-tread path I walk in saying I'm going to reassign and retexture the armors appearing in The Sith Lords. However, no mods of similar design quite go all the way. Enter me.

I don't mean to be the one to crush one's hopes and dreams, but...

Quote

• The Light Combat Suit will now take its cues from the Peragus Mining Uniform (so it will basically be just a brown leather suit).

I like the idea of that! Would love to see the finished result.

Quote

• The Mandalorian Combat Suit will take its cues from the Cinnegar Weave Armor of K1, to better match description.

I picture the Cinnegar Weave Armor but in blue?

Quote

• The Mandalorian Heavy Suit might get Bandon's Fiber Armor recolored, again to better match the item description (although kudos to Obsidian for putting in the bare minimum effort of making the combat suit texture indigo).

Might I suggest this:

You change the Ulic Qel Droma's Mesh Suit texture to the K1 texture as seen here:

And change the Mandalorian Heavy Suit texture into Ulic Qel Droma's Obsidian texture:

It should still work with your mods intent, you'd be turning a Combat Suit into a Heavy Combat Suit which would make sense as the blue Mandalorian Combat Suit would logically become a Mandalorian Heavy Combat Suit as it is the "next tier" of armor.

Quote

• The Echani Shield Suit I'm considering a recolored version of K1's Baragwin Shadow Armor. Not ideal, but better than the obviously Mandalorian armor from before.

Wasn't the Echani Shield suit either a K1 Baragwin Shadow Armor or a red Bonadon Heavy Combat Suit before? I still approve of reskinning it though.

Quote

• The Sith Battle Suit will now resemble a red version of K1's Environmental bastion armor.

I like.

Quote

• The Verpine Fiber Ultramesh gets recolored slightly--more gold added to the shoulders and tubes. We don't know where Davik got his armor, but we do know a Verpine color scheme when we see one.

I'd like to point out something here:
 

This here is the Verpine Fiber Mesh armor, its green and purple... it uses a Military Suit model and has 8 defence. This is the 1st tier of Verpine armor. 

This here is the Verpine Fiber Ultramesh armor and as you've pointed out this is Davik's War Suit texture. I'm confident that the reason why Davik's War Suit became Ultramesh armor is because the War Suit was intended to be an upgradeable item in K1, it wasn't, but left over files confirms it was and I've since made a mod for that. Have you noticed how the Baragwin items, Darth Bandon's Fiber Armor and all the other upgradeable items from K1 aren't present in K2? I believe that was done because of Obsidian's new upgrade system and because of that they didn't want players going "But Cassus Fett's armor had Immunity Critical Strike in K1, why can't I get it in K2?" though that is just my best guess.

This armor has wine red and purple and it has a yellow logo on it... it uses a Military Suit model again but has 10 defence. This is the 2nd tier of Verpine armor. 

This here is the Verpine Zal Alloy Mesh armor, I am specifically showing you the K1 texture as I do believe this here fits best with the 3 tier Verpine armor.

This armor has grey and purple and it has the exact same logo Davik's armor on the chest except here its now purple... it uses the Battle Armor model and has 12 defence. This is the 3rd tier of Verpine armor.

I do believe that these textures are ideal for the Verpine Armors, though if you disagree I'd like to hear your reasonings.

Quote

• The Corellian Powersuit takes its cues from the Powered Battle Suit to better match the item description.

This I like.

Quote

• M'uhk'gfa is my own attempt using the Battle Armor base with a modified weave over the leather parts to better match the item description.

It's changes like this which will really put you in competition with the K2 Armor Nitpick mod, but I'd like to see what you can produce... I would to be given a variety of textures to chose from when I play the game.

Quote

• The Iotran Braceman Armor takes its cues from the class eight Mandalorian armor now (what was previously the Echani Shield Suit), better matching the item description which categorizes them as a warrior society.

So the Echani Shield Suit and the Iotran Braceman Armor are now Mandalorian armors now?

Quote

• The Fenelar Armor now bares its correct name, and has been recolored to distance it from Jurgan Kalta's Power Suit, although the implication of the identified Fenelar design on the origins of Kalta's armor is up to you.

I believe the similarities between Jurgan Kalta's Power Suit and the Fenelar armor was intended, but go ahead with this.

Quote

• The Matrix Armor is untouched (because I refuse to call it Cassus Fett's armor) but has a modified description which implies a link between either starship plating and beskar or the armor's design and those of the Mandalorians depending on how you take it.

I can accept that.

Quote

They are in various stages of completion, but I'll post images as I get to them. As always, feedback is welcome!

Can't wait to see what you can produce!

ok, is it possible to have a mod that locks your alignment from the beginning of the game to full light or dark?

that no matter your choices, the alignment doesn't change?

I suppose there might be possible to make a mod in which the Light Side and Dark Side points are broken and do nothing when you select an LS or DS choice, if one adds a script which adds max LS or DS points to the player on the Trask dialogue I suppose that might work out the way you want it.

But wouldn't that ruin the game, in a way? Here is your player killing innocent civilians, robbing old ladies and aiding the most immoral groups you can find and here's Bastila ogling you for being a "better Jedi" than her.

And this sort of system would break Kotor 2, that is because K2 offers a variety of differing options which aren't black and white allowing for a diverse set of choices every time you play. Let's assume LS and DS points won't work and your player is 100% light side at the games start, your party members are most likely going to react to "Dark Side" options even if you don't get the points and assuming you still maintain 100% influence over them that means you could train your party as proper Jedi as Kreia gives you a Jedi Prestige Class whilst the Exile is helping the Mercs on Dantooine, helping the Exchange on Nar Shaddaa, killing the Jedi Masters, helping Vaklu and helping Lorso on Telos.

The mod you want is very much possible, but wouldn't this just remove a chunk of the Star Wars RPG experience?

Honestly, cannot remember. Most likely it won't have an effect, but I'd give it a try if desired. 

I think it goes like this: If a player recruits a party member without this mod, let's say they recruit Carth, save the game and then install this mod... loading that save would have a Level 3 Carth whilst the rest of the party, like Mission, would be level 1.

Hi everyone their is a mod I really want the person to create for everyone the jedi temple mod for kotor2 only for Android version think about it their is a jedi temple mod only for the pc version of kotor2 right but not for the android of kotor2 so why not make one for the android version so everyone who has the android kotor2 version can get all the badass jedi and sith stuff 

Technically you can install any mod, including the Jedi Temple mod, onto an Android device... but as you might be aware, you'd need a PC for that.

If you wanted a "watered down for Android" version of Jedi Temple, in which you can install it without a PC, it "may" be possible for one to make it... though you probably aren't going to get all of the badass Jedi and Sith stuff. Some of those items require a 2da file to work properly and the only way to make the Jedi Temple mod work on Android without breaking TSLRCM is a TSLPatcher installer... which can only be used on a PC.

Plus, I'm not even sure if an Android friendly version of the Jedi Temple mod can be made... we'd need permission from deathdisco to do this and I doubt many will see the point of creating an Android version of a mod when Android can already install and play this mod as long as they have a PC.

Also, here's a tip: when talking about a mod or a forum thread... don't use the Thumbnail of a YouTuber's video, use the mod link (Just copy the link from the search bar and just copy it into the thread):

Porting Darth Sion is totally possible!

He's an NPC in my K1 Gameplay Improvement mod. I believe it would be possible to make him a player head, however, you wouldn't be able to visibly see Armor equipped on him unless someone was able to do additional work to separate the head from the body.
