Hello, I'm N-DReW25: a writer for the Revenge of Revan mod. The mod's development is going well, though any discussion of the mod's development can be done in the return of ROR thread as this post is concerning another topic. During the development of the ROR mod, I've personally thought up something called a "Revenge of Revan Addon mod" or "ROR Addon" for short. A ROR Addon is a mod which is designed to work with the ROR mod and can only be used with the ROR mod (A mod which was made for K2 which is also fully compatible with ROR isn't considered a ROR Addon, though a "What's compatible with ROR" thread might be opened upon ROR Episode 1's release!). Originally, I thought I would be announcing the ROR Addon concept sometime after the release of ROR Episode 1, however, due to the release of a recent mod I am pleased to announce that a new ROR Addon has been made which I can happily show the general public without leaking anything from the modern ROR mod which is still in development. And the first (and hopefully not last) ROR Addon is called: "High Quality Aliens: Yoda Species" The Revenge of Revan mod currently has not one, not two, but three Yoda species NPCs. Whilst I have made 3 skins, currently only one of the Yoda NPCs is used in the mod though since none of you realistically know who "Ulon Tuain" is I might as well call it "High Quality Aliens: Yoda Species". This here is now Ulon appears in the ROR Demo and how he will look in the future releases of the ROR mod: And here is how Ulon will appear with the HQ Yoda Species ROR Addon installed!: Disclaimer: Every Jedi Council member in the ROR Demo had names, you could only see them in the dialogue feedback menu once the Jedi Council cutscene ended. Just because Ulon Tuain has a ROR Addon made for him and the fact that I've revealed his name to the public doesn't make him "important" in the grand scheme of the ROR plot, as many of the fine details of later content of ROR is still up in the air it is possible that Ulon Tuain might just be "a Jedi Council member" character and that's it, or it might be possible that the Jedi Council members will play a bigger role which hasn't been written in yet... we just don't know (in 2022). And the dialogue is of course experimental, if overall community feedback dislikes the Yoda speak then remove from the mod we will! So when will this ROR Addon be released? I am not certain of that, and I have two very good reasons as to why this mod might not be released soon. 1) ROR Episode 1 hasn't been released yet: If I released this mod tomorrow then the players would only be able to play this mod with the ROR Demo which was released in 2011 (How many of us are playing the ROR Demo in 2022?) 2) Stormie's ported model hasn't been thoroughly tested: When I imported the model into MDLEdit (One of you model modders probably had a stroke reading that) I received an error message. This is very, VERY likely the result of MDLEdit not being prepared to load a "custom model completely built from scratch using modern 3D asset creation techniques" (as Stormie puts it). MDLEdit probably had a stroke as the following was the error message I recieved: As you can see from my screenshot, I believe the ported model works just fine in K2... however, I think it might be best to wait some time and hope Stormie himself ports his work to K2 and I'll just use that model instead. But I want it now! I am also very, VERY open to the idea of releasing all 3 High Quality Yoda skins for ROR as replacements for the original Vandar mod. That means you will be able to pick one of the 3 ROR Yoda's and have it replace the Vandar texture in K1 (You WILL require Stormie's original mod to be installed first!) In-conclusion: Let me know what you guys think of both the High Quality Vandar reskin and the concept of Addon mods for the ROR mod! Do you think ROR Addons are a good idea? Would you play with Addons when ROR is released? Do you think this is a bad idea? Should I release the Yoda skins for K1? Let me know what you think in the comments, your feedback (good and bad) would be helpful for Logan and the team! All credit goes to Stormie97 for the original model and texture!

Vandar also appears in the Full Jedi Council mod by Kexikus who modified Vandar's sitting animation. The problem with the original Vandar sitting animation is that, due to his size, he would sit as if he was a normal NPC which meant he didn't "fit" on any chairs so I believe Kexikus modified his animation to make him float above the ground so that it'd appear as if he was sitting in his Jedi Council seat.

This might be my personal opinion, but unless you intend to use Dark Hope's texture in your mod then you probably shouldn't use it in your preview screenshots. It'll seem misleading to the players and while it does sound stupid I assure you there are definitely players who would assume Dark Hope's texture is included in your mod based on nothing but your screenshot. If you are INDEED planning on using Dark Hope's texture, might I ask why? It'll look silly to include a 4K head texture for a single NPC when the goal of your mod is to "Overhaul" the already existing NPCs in the game. You'd either have to give other NPCs 4K heads of similar quality or stick to not having a Yuthura head texture in the mod (You could always recommend player's use Dark Hope's mod without including it in the package). And for her robe, did you get permission from OldFlash to use the texture? OldFlash disappeared years ago and there (at least to my knowledge) is not way to contact him, did their mod something written in their readme which states modder's can use this texture in their own mods as long as credit is given?

Description: July 15 2003 was the day Kotor 1 was released for the first time on Xbox. If you've played Kotor on the Xbox or have played my Knights of the Old XBOX mod then you might be aware that the Xbox version and the PC version of these games are different, but what if I told you there was a 3rd version of Kotor which you might not have heard of before? Between 2002 and early 2003, the original Kotor website published a series of images which ranged from concept art to promotional screenshots of the game during its Beta/Pre-Release stage of development. Whilst these promotional screenshots might appear worse than the vanilla game (As these are pre-release/in-development screenshots), a few eagle eyed observers might notice some features in said screenshots which the vanilla game lacks. What this mod will do is add these features into the vanilla PC game. WARNING: Please be sure to consult the mod's screenshots before installing (Or ask the mod author in the comments), the installer for this mod is modular allowing you to install things at your leisure, however, some features might be perceived as lower quality than others so it is recommended to be 100% sure of what you want to install before installing anything. None of the features should break your game, it's merely a matter of your own opinion on whether or not you like the aesthetic of a specific feature or not. Known Bugs: This mod shouldn't have bugs but if there is Just PM me on Deadlystream. Gloveless Jedi Robes do not receive the grey Dark Side transitions, meaning the player character will have a grey head with normal hands. The best way to fix this would be to use a mod which removes the Dark Side transitions. Incompatibilities: Would be incompatible with any mods which modifies Mission Vao's body/underwear/head texture and portraits, Trask Ulgo's unique head texture and portraits, Jedi Robe textures and models, Sith Officer body/head textures or models Permissions: Do NOT claim credit for this mod and do not use assets from this mod without my permission.

I actually have a handful of pre-release screenshots of the game which shows actual NPCs in the place of Lite NPCs in the final release, so you probably are correct. The Lite NPC Restoration feature really is just to satisfy my own OCD and for the lovers of the original Tomb Raider.
