Work on my Dark Jedi/Sith Academy mod is starting up, but in order for me to start that mod properly I need to finish up the first release of my K1 Alien Pack mod.

The Ithorians are ready, the Bith are 90% ready, and the Duros are 50% ready... these are the three species that will be in the first release of the pack. I've already showed off the Ithorians, now it's time to show off the Bith.

The goal of the pack is to ensure every species has 5 alien variants, this will be easy for Aqualish and Rodians as they only have 4 variants meaning only one texture needs to be made for those species... this isn't true for the Bith as they only have 1 variant.

The vanilla black Bith will only appear as Cantina Musicians whilst the Bith you'll encounter in-game will use my new appearances. Whilst I did make the reskins you'll see, I also photo sourced assets from BithBiter's TSL Party Project 1.01 (as the mod page says the mod's assets can be used with credit given), and assets from the Revenge of Revan mod by RedRob41 (used with permission).

For the Bith appearances, I used Wookieepedia to determine that Bith skin color can be yellow, green, pale pink, and red... so those are the colors I used in these appearances. Whilst I think the new appearances are "alright", I personally feel some of the skin colors don't "fit" with the scenes they're currently in... which is why I would like your opinion on whether or not I should switch certain Bith appearances around.

Green Bith:

This one was especially jarring to see when I first saw it in-game in this scene.

Red Bith:

His skin and his outfit are so dark, so much so that he's almost camouflaging into the dark environment around him.

Pale Pink Bith:

I rather like this appearance, I could change the color palette of his clothing if this is desired.

Pale Yellow Bith:

Dare I say this Bith is without flaw.

So... what do we think of these new Biths?

I do know @Marius Fett recently deleted his old mods as he intends to reupload updated/revised versions of those old mods. If Marius did ever make a Lightsaber blade reskin mod, it's possible you can't find it because it's been deleted.

I'm pretty sure we can make VO for Carth and HK-47, e.g. for warning about Katarn, and for relieving Sand People or whatever, respectively.

The problem with those is that for Carth the warning about the Katarn was never intended for Kashyyyk.

Kotor 1 had an E3 Demo much like Kotor 2, and just like how the Kotor 2 Demo contained elements that weren't in the final game the K1 Demo had a few oddities. First off, the game's engine wasn't final so the game looked like this, it was set on Dantooine, you could recruit Carth and T3-M4 (who was owned by Bastila), there was a Sith Base on Dantooine (It possibly reused the cut Czerka Depot), the player was a Jedi who wore Nemo Robes (So the player character Jedi you see throughout the vanilla game were the players in the Demo), and Katarns were the primary enemy on Dantooine.

The Carth quote about the Katarns goes like this: "CARTH: Is your communicator on? It's Carth. Just wanted to remind you to be careful out there. Don't end up as a meal for one of the katarn."

That line exists on TLK number 380, and you'll see that "CARTH" is actually written on that line. The very next line, 381, goes like this: "CARTH: Get back to the base! The Sith have attacked! Just follow the smoke! Hurry!"

So... there isn't much to go off of in terms of restoring the Katarn warning because it was never intended for the actual game. And as for the HK-47 lines about the Sand People Messiah, as far as I'm concerned I've never found, or heard of other modders finding, the cut lines which could be used to restore such a scene. We all most likely know about the Sand People Messiah content through former Bioware devs who worked on the game instead of through cut dialogue lines, so again a mod that adds the Sand People Messiah would have to be costume made.

I hope this forum will be revived one day...

As an actual discussion forum, perhaps, but there are still mods being worked on, published, and updated by modders and said mods are still being downloaded by players. So the mod hosting element of Deadlystream is still kicking, and the Discord side of the Deadlystream community is thriving, if you think this site is dead that's where everyone went. 

You know, I had some reservations about this mod hearing about it... and I was willing to give you a chance if I could see the mod for myself through this WIP thread, and you haven't disappointed me.

These in-game changes are very well made, they're a massive improvement over your old work and I hope your other old work is improved upon in the same way as well.

There will be two main options for installation: "Clothes Only" which will only change the NPCs' clothes but have them all keep their vanilla heads, and "Clothes & Heads" which will give unique heads (many of which will be ported player or minor character heads from K2) to all of the NPCs whom the player more directly interacts or converses with.

Judging from the screenshots, you've given characters like Dak Vesser a unique head. So if you're giving unique heads to NPCs who used generic heads, why are you giving unique heads to characters who already had unique heads?

Instead of giving those NPCs a new head, why not use those heads for other NPCs without a unique head instead?

The bottom screenshot was clearly made by using the Caps Lock first person view whilst the example I kept on the top is a cropped down screenshot of a dialogue.

Please, from now on, stick to the Caps Lock first person style screenshots. I don't want to have to squint to see what an NPC looks like, and I'm sure everyone else would agree with this.

Are there any issues with the K2 ported heads? I know I tried to port Dak Vesser's head myself and the jaw and the hair ended up breaking, as it quite common when you're straight up converting from K2 to K1 via MDLEdit.

I agree with this too, it's hard to get into the details when I'm losing track of what it is I'm reading because all the lines are too close together.

Example :

I am personally not fond of the changes you have made, I think their attire looks too much as if they are fully fledged Sith and not trainees who have only just joined the academy, that aside though, good work.

If I recall there is another mod that gives all of the Sith Uniforms specific ranks, which was interesting.

JC's Back in Black, Shem's old Sith Student mod, Heyorange's Sith Uniform Reformation mod, Kainzorous Prime's Old K1 NPC Overhaul, the K1 Enhancement Project... there are quite a few mods that did change the Sith Academy students.

Whilst I understand why you wouldn't like this mod on the grounds you've listed, I don't think that should be a deterrent for EAF97 to stop making this mod. By having a variety of different mods available, players will pick and choose what they want to play with and I'm certain many players would love to play with the K2 Sith Uniforms.

I'm amazed how many clearly visible holes there are, these level repairs will be included with my port but I will also release them for the original game.

If anyone knows of any problems like this, feel free to let me know and I will look into fixing them, it would be nice to see every level in the game get this treatment even if it takes a little while.

I know I've reported a few noticeable issues on Manaan to the K1CP bug tracker a while back and they've since fixed them in the 1.10 update. When you download K1CP, it comes with a list of the things the mod has fixed (alternatively, this same list might also be on one of their public GitHubs). You could use this list to see what they've fixed so that you can fix them in your own mod, I wouldn't want to use your mod and find out it undoes the model fixes of K1CP.

On 10/27/2024 at 8:58 PM, Thor110 said:

I am also looking to fix any other models with holes in them throughout both games, so if you know of any, feel free to point them out.

The Endar Spire. Even with the K1CP mod installed, which already does fix pre-existing holes, if you look for them you can still find holes. Off by memory, the first module end_m01aa is still ripe with holes in the walls.

But I think this model problem is something you'd be interested in. In the hallways of the starboard section (end_m01ab), if you look up at the ceiling you'll see overhead pipes yet in the hallways of the Command Module (end_m01aa), the parts of the ceiling where the overhead pipes should be are empty.

And yet there are Beta screenshots of the Command Module halls having overhead pipes as seen here.

It's been a long time since I did that quest, I guess that's why the area at the end is caved in in the second game, but it doesn't really explain how the tomb comes out of nowhere.

It is somewhat implied that a group of Jedi excavated the tomb, these Jedi would turn on each other due to the visions with Nebelish being the last survivor before starving to death. Why they excavated the tomb? Unknown - the only explanation as to why Korriban makes little sense is cut content, Master Vash wasn't supposed to be on Korriban after all. A better way to explain the Tomb of Ludo Kresh would be to make a mod for K2 that explains it rather than shoe-horning it into the first game.

You would have to make a room animation to transition cleanly I think.

Not sure it's something I could manage.

A room animation would be the only way, you can't blow up the cave exit and have the player warp to a copy of the K2 cave. Any unlooted placeables from the old module would be gone, any landmines placed by the player would be gone, any enemies you didn't kill would be gone, and it'd be very difficult to setup the cave entrance in the Valley of the Dark Lords to account for this change.

If there's even a chance the warping method could work, all of the above would have to be figured out for it to work.

If the PC enters the tomb and it's established that his visions are much stronger than the ones the Exile experienced because of Revan's much stronger connection to the Force, the entry to the tomb could be treated like a sort of bad trip where the PC is almost completely out of it through the entire tomb, and only regains sense when they leave, never taking anything significant with them.

Though I reiterate, this is mainly just a thought exercise on my part to argue that even seemingly-unusable modules can probably have the gap bridged with some creative concept for their use. I think not using Kressh's tomb would probably be better.

What would Revan's visions even be (especially if this happens before the Revelation scene on the Leviathan)? If the vision acts anything like it did for the Exile then it'd be logical for Emperor Vitiate to be one of the vision characters (even if Revan doesn't realize who it is at the time), so if you include, or exclude, characters such as Vitiate from the vision either way I can see that being controversial for some players.

I am planning to release an NPC Overhaul mod sometime in the next few weeks but will do what I can to ensure compatibility with this. My mod will basically port the three main "ranks" of Sith robes from K2 in the Trayus/Malachor Academy: students will wear the "low" robes, teachers (including Yuthura) will wear "mid" robes, and Uthar will wear "high" robes.

Sith workers in the Valley of the Dark Lords (NOT the guards or archaeologists) will be wearing the black Sith variant of Onderon commoner clothing from Effix's Zeison Sha/Jal Shey to Onderon Clothing mod which I've ported while Tariga & Adrenas (the two Huttese-speaking human workers who state that they "serve" the Sith but aren't Sith themselves) will be wearing commoner clothing but have unique heads. There will be separate options on the menu to make Tariga male or female (gender is swapped in K1CP) as well as an option to restore Hijata as a human wearing a Sith robe for those who've installed K1CP or to allow him to remain an alien by not installing that option if K1CP is installed. 

There will be a few "cameos" from K2 with models and textures ported in and some minor K2 characters replacing various NPCs: Azkul will replace the Sith torturer in the interrogation room and will be wearing Sith armor (thanks to Marius Fett's modder's resource and N-DReW25 providing it after it was taken down), the Twin Suns will replace two of the prospective students and the player can "Force Persuade" them to talk about themselves and reveal that they came initially as prospective students but were disillusioned with the disciplines of the Sith and the Academy's application process and changed their minds and are hanging around near Czerka's office considering doing "dirty work" for them as hired thugs/assassins. Jana Lorso from Telos in K2 will replace the Czerka Rep in their office and I used ElevenLabs to distort/change the voice for the Rep's lines to sound similar to Jana's. I thought it'd be interesting to add her in since on Telos it appears she's got a couple of Sith statues so perhaps she was stationed on Korriban before?

Again, each of these changes will be **optional** and will be a separate section of the mod that can be installed **separately** after the main part that adds Sith robes to teachers and students at the academy itself.

When your mod does comes out, I'll have a look at what it does and what files you've modified and I'll give a final judgement on if a compatibility patch is needed and/or what components people should avoid with my mods.

If you're mod is one big mod, do know that my NPC Overhaul is a series of different smaller mods. Let's say I do release my hypothetical Sith Academy mod, players can simply choose not to install that mod for whatever reasons.

And do know the "core" of my NPC Overhaul revolves around the NPC Diversity Pack, without the other mods of this series I'm sure you can see how it's quite basic in how it achieves its overhaul ("Basic" in comparison to what you're planning, that is).

You might want to touchup the wrinkle on the forehead, other than that this is a very good job! 

We should all know the problem I am referring to.

You're playing Kotor 2 with the TSLRCM mod installed and you are in the middle of Telos playing through the game, you finish a dialogue and then suddenly... the screen goes black, followed by this thing entering the frame.

After seeing that this thing is is a ship, you are then greeted with an unskippable cutscene.

This is triggered when you gain a set number (20-30 maybe?) of LS or DS points, this means the cutscene will play at a different point in the game during each playthrough. The problem with this is that it often times comes out of nowhere, you're talking to Chodo Habat and once the scene ends you're suddenly greeted by the space ship cutscene followed by a two minute unskippable cutscene or you gain Dark Side points after saying you're going to murder someone but the moment you enter combat... BAM, space ship cutscene followed by two minute unskippable cutscene.

And the second problem is that, once you get off Telos, all you need to do is travel to a planet and then immediately board the Ebon Hawk and Visas will already be inside the Ebon Hawk even though you've just left Telos.

So this mod request has several parts to fix the issues I have listed:

1) Remove the alignment=cutscene mechanic and instead have the cutscene play after the Jedi Council hologram cutscene. My reasoning for having it done here is because the Jedi Council cutscene takes place in the module 950MAL instead of 003EBO (the main Ebon Hawk module), even though 950MAL lacks a load screen most players would assume they're in the Ebon Hawk and not an Ebon Hawk clone.

As of right now, the game goes from Telos Academy > Ebon Hawk (Jedi Council Cutscene) > Ebon Hawk.

If the Visas cutscene takes place after the Jedi Council cutscene, the game will instead go Telos Academy > Ebon Hawk (Jedi Council Cutscene) > Ravager (Visas Cutscene) > Ebon Hawk. Just give 950MAL the 003EBO load screen and it'll give off the illusion that you're warping from and back to the Ebon Hawk.

As it is now with the alignment system, the "disturbance" Visas refers to is the player growing stronger in either the Light or Dark Side though it looks stupid when that "disturbance" is the player committing tax fraud on Telos or some other lowly action. If the scene takes place after the Jedi Council scene, this "disturbance" can now be interpreted as the Exile not only getting stronger but also making plans to find/hunt down the Jedi Masters.

2) Instead of Visas spawning on the Ebon Hawk after the Ravager scene takes place, it should take place after you complete one planet. So instead of leaving Telos, landing on Nar Shaddaa, immediately turning around and finding Visas, you instead have to complete Nar Shaddaa, deal with Zez-Kai Ell, return to the Ebon Hawk and only then you find Visas.

3) This part isn't really necessary, but when you enter the Hawk the party you had outside will be part of your party whilst the other party members are unconscious in Kreia's room. When the encounter with Visas begins, she'll use Force Stasis/Stun to incapacitate these party members so that it's just you alone fighting Visas. This was apparently Obsidian's original intention as there is a dev note that says "{[After a second, she gets to her feet, and she advances toward the player, she will cast a Force Stun at the other party members - like Bastilla in the first game.]}".

Again, this problem isn't nearly as bad as the first two problems so it shouldn't really be a priority I feel.

Kel Dor jedi general test

Kel Dor model from modder's ressource, jedi general texture from an old mod (i can find the link back i think)

So, as i want to give melee feats through scripting, i figured it would be cool to have some kind of "trainer(s)". I needed an alien, i figured a KelDor would do good for diversity. As a concept, he is a veteran from the mandalorian wars (hence the bao dur arm), teach the player about some "a jedi remains a jedi without his lightsaber" stuff, some lore about Malachor would be fancy. He would be on Dantooine somewhere with some students. Idk what could happend to him after Dantooine is bombed, maybe he flees to Manaan with some padawans. 

It would be incredible to have him as a recruitable character, however the bao dur arm wont fit for this unfortunately. I wish i could blend the bao dur arm texture with the armor/clothing textures.

If that's DP's Kel Dor modder's resource, I do believe the head has a few problems when speaking to it as an NPC hence why it was released as a player head mod.

I don't quote me on this, but @DarthParametric has said in the past that he might release the ported TOR Kel Dor head from his Jedi Diversity on the Star Forge mod as a modder's resource to replace the old modder's resource at some point. Though when, or if, it's released is entirely when DP feels like it.

The only thing is that LoneWanderer told me there was lot of memory leaks for kotor, so i need to be careful about models bearing multiple textures, long playtime = gamecrash, especially with the uber HQ textures we got now.

So you've merged two models into one (the Rodian and mask model) but it uses two different textures? I know some other mods that do similar things do it so that it uses one texture with one on the left and the other texture on the right.

JC's Czerka mod has a Czerka Rodian that merges the Rodian animations, Rodian hands and Rodian head to a Czerka body model and it handles the texture by having a Rodian on the left side of the texture and a Czerka texture on the right (or vice versa, but you get the idea).

DP's Scoundrel Clothes with Scout legs uses a similar method.

This might prevent any memory leak related issues if you can replicate this.

Regarding mod compatibilities, i'll try my best. Not easy to make "anything" compatible. But simply editing the appearance row would be ok right ?

I have given you a list of reasons as to why it can't be done, and yet you've tossed my reasons out the window and demonstrated that I should've kept my mouth shut.

Those are amazing results! If you check Effix's distribution note on the main page, you'll see that he said "You can use the files from this mod in your own mod if you simply credit me". So that means, as long as you give credit to Effix as the original maker of the skin, you can outright use that skin in a "Twitch mod" that has the visor. I've done so myself for my Galaxy of Faces mod for compatibility reasons.

I think it is possible to add an animated spark placeable from the base game, so i could tie this spark to a desired placeable and make it an "unstable something". Swoop engines could fit too. 

The animated spark I think is a placeable in its own right, though if that doesn't work there might be a spark VFX effect that could be applied to the placeable.

Quote

Your idea with the grenades is pretty cool ! However atm the way my script works is OnDeath from the placeable. I wonder if i could make it so the script plays, but does not delete the footlocker while also deleting some of the items inside the footlocker ? Which leads me to an interesting track : Editing each bashable locker from the base game to replicate the bashing mechanic from k2.

Either I'm confused, or you're confused. I'll re-explain my idea so the core concept sticks - the grenades would be inside the Footlocker, if you used security you would be able to obtain the grenades, if you instead bash the footlocker and took its HP to 0 it would, upon "death", explode and the Footlocker would be deleted... it does that because it is the "grenades" inside the Footlocker exploding.

 I was thinking about replacing some human npcs to get some human voicelines too, just did not know which one to replace yet. I tried importing Bao Dur's head aswell, but i couldnt get around his lips being constantly open, and when i was about to fix it i messed up with his eyes/eyelids and ragequited 😅

Admittedly, I didn't even bother fixing the open mouth bug. I've ported other hands and I'd get that same bug except it's graphically worse and the lips don't move at all, since Bao-Dur's lips do move that was enough to satisfy me.

Quote

that's exactly the plan, i made it so the horns mesh better with the texture, so maul has got his own set of horns, same for some of the texture variants i displayed. I wanted to do it for females aswell, but i didnt find a good quality reskin for one of the female heads. There was one but it was kinda poor. I'd love to bring female zabraks too, just dont have any good texture yet. If you have one i could do this  

I think you should first look into a bald female head, the best one in the game is PFHC05. All you'd need to do is chop off her ponytail, reskin the shaven hair bits and, in your case, apply the horns.

Quote

Id like to introduce a Rodian seller in upper city which sells kind of touristic items, like sunglasses, mp3 player, and i figured i would pack the lego items aswell as "toys". The lightsaber would do toy sound effects, deal 1 single point of damage, same for a lego blaster i got in store. Another idea i have in mind but needs a good execution. Maybe make a playable lego character could be fun too. I like curse 😈

A single point in defense atm, there is room for other variations but i only have 1 atm. Idk how multiple disguise interact with one another when equipped (armbands here). Idk if it is possible at all, but it could make things easier i guess. 

That could work, actually.

Quote

Indeed, twitch could get his own visor too on Taris, bring some npc diversity.

That may cause more trouble then you think if you're thinking of giving Twitch a mask.

It'd be incompatible with High Quality Rodians and it could be incompatible with mods like Effixan's Arena mod or Galaxy of Faces that gives him a unique appearance.

Not to mention a full face mask wouldn't work, a visor over the eyes probably wouldn't work and I doubt a Neural Band type mask would work with all of his animations. Plus, even if it did work how do you know the mask won't be gigantic in comparison to the little Rodian head? (Though I suppose you could just shrink it if your beast mod is anything to go by.)

But generic human NPCs, Twi'leks and possibly even Duros are PRIME real estate for this.

I'm not sure if you knew but there's a bug in the game engine where if an NPC is wearing a mask and a player is wearing a mask then the NPC's mask will be rendered invisible. This bug can only be prevented if the mask model is physically merged with the head model in question, so for example Davik's head would have his visor on it as part of his head model and not as a seperate model like it works with the players (It would be possible to set it up so that Davik's 1st encounter uses his normal head and his hangar encounter uses his visor head).

I started modding 9 months ago and felt like creating a topic to centralise all my humble wip stuff. For extra context, i didnt have a single clue about code or the game files back then. Thx to the whole community tho, i'm getting better and better each days. I have several projects ongoing (maybe a bit too much than i can chew 😄), so it won't be centered around something in particular, but at least you can see what a beginner can perform with basic knowledge.

I hope you add an option to pick up the turret once you're done with it, and maybe a limit too so the player doesn't just add a thousand turrets to kill a boss. Maybe have it so that you place one down, you lose the turret item, you can speak to the turret out of combat, you pick the dialogue option to "Pick it up", it removes the turret NPC and you gain the turret item again.

Now that might be a fun thing to add randomly throughout the game, depending on whether or not it makes sense for something to explode. Maybe you can lock one of the grenade footlockers and if you bash it it explodes.

Zabrak Head models :

  Hide contents

Back in the days Iniry made a mod to bring a playable zabrak skin + zabrak horns to the game. I figured i would try to make dedicated head models with horns matching the textures. There are some reskins done for Inyri mod so i figured i would pack the extra variants too. Would be used to make zabrak npcs through the game with some extracted alien TOR voice lines.
Zabrak head test.

 

So I was personally was going to do this for an alien NPC mod I have planned, the install would be modular meaning you could hypothetically install Zabraks and no other species.

But unlike your mod, I was going to use reskins of Bao-Dur's head and I was going to have them strategically replace pre-existing NPCs in the game. For example, the Exchange Debt Collector in the Lower City or one of the Bounty Hunters in Zax's office who I'd deck out in Zabrak gear, this way the Zabraks would speak English and wouldn't need any TOR Zabrak lines.

Are you planning on merging Inyri's horn mask item with the head model itself? If you are would you consider making some female Zabraks as well?

That scene is new to TSLRCM, in the vanilla game it's a BIK movie (The same format as the takeoff movies). In vanilla, you can left click the mouse on PC or tap the screen on Mobile and have the scene end but in TSLRCM it's unskippable as it's taking place in the game.

Do note: it is triggered by the Light and Dark Side points you get, so another playthrough it might player earlier or later depending on your choices.

Now, something that would help me pinpoint a crash would be exactly when it crashes.

I'm sorry to have to spoil the scene (your post makes it sound as if you aren't aware of who the characters are), but I'm linking a video of the scene so you can tell me when exactly the game crashes.

For example, if the scene progresses to the point where you see Nihilus (dark lord) on screen the crash would probably not be caused by a glitch in Nihilus' texture, model or appearance.2da line (critical mod files used in retexture mods etc).

Without the following Mods it works fine.

Now this I'll need you to define. When you say "Without the following mods" I picture MTSLRCM as being part of that list, and if you aren't using MTSLRCM you aren't getting the in-game scene where the crash is happening. You could test it with just MTSLRCM and see if it crashes, but then you'd need to have a backup copy of Kotor 2 so you can have a Kotor 2 directory with your main mods and another backup directory for MTSLRCM for testing purposes.

On PC this wouldn't be too hard to setup, I personally have multiple directories I switch between for different mod combinations and such, but I imagine on Mobile that'd be a pain to setup.

So I have been playing KOTOR 2 on my phone

Mods Installed:  

1. TSLRCM 1.8.6

Are you using the correct MTSLRCM, the one that is optimized for mobile gameplay?

From what I hear, MTSLRCM is missing a few features... and that's important because those features crash on the mobile version of the game unlike on PC.

I downloaded the zip file for the extended enclavve mod and attempted to extract the contents of the zip file. However for some reason one file cant seem to be extracted. The file is called load_020EBO.tga . It keeps saying there is an error in copying the file. All other files including the exe extracted just fine. So what should I do? 

Even if you didn't have the load screen in the Override, it wouldn't break the game in any way. The worst that would happen is that the Ebon Hawk cutscene would use a generic load screen.

Here is the file you're missing:

I always hated Exar Kun's light battle suit and Ulic Qel-Droma's mesh suit ingame.

These don't even begin to do justice to the two legendary characters from the comics.

Since there are already several “lore friedly” skins for various armor and characters, I wondered why there are none for these yet.

Ulic Qel-Droma's Mesh Suit I agree doesn't have any good reskins, mainly because the item is cut meaning player's can't obtain it without mods/cheats and most player's don't know it exists.

But for Exar Kun's Light Battle Suit, there is at least one reskin for it...

Any new screenshots you guys can show? Maybe of the Jedi Temple if it's also getting a new look like Corellia

I think the Jedi Temple textures aren't being changed as I believe it's meant to resemble the original Jedi Temple mod for K2.

But the Jedi Temple has been reworked from the Demo. To name a few changes, the medical room you wake up in now actually resembles a medical room, the weird ray shield has been replaced with a giant door, and the weird speeder was removed with its Jedi mechanic being moved to another location who is now sorting through a filing cabinet instead.

I'll see with Logan if he's fine with this being shown to the public, though I must put a firm emphasis on my earlier comment:

I can't say much, but I'll say this (but don't quote me on this), I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for this first chapter of the mod.

Hey! Love the look of this Mod! Is this compatible with KotOR II?

It should be, though Chodo Habat won't be covered by the reskin.

M4-78EP is already infamous for its lag on PC, I'm not sure an iOS or Android device could handle M4-78 without lagging, crashing, draining your battery or making your device physically hot to the touch.

Guessing that installing K1 Loot Overhaul over Balance in the Force will give me the loot from K1 Loot Overhaul but the mechanics of Balance in the Force. 

Though I wasn't aware Timbo changed the loot for Kandon Ark and the Sith Governor, this should be the ideal installation.

Great progress on your mods! Oh and I was thinking of installing Timbo's Balance in the Force Mod along with your cosmetic mods, K1 Loot Overhaul, and Senni Vek Restoration. Would there be any incompatibilities? 

I don't think there will be, I have been in contact with Timbo about compatibility with my mods so if there are incompatibilities I'm sure we'll be able to work something out.
