Considering WinRAR extracts almost every other .RAR and .7z file without fail, and every .zip file, I highly doubt it's borked. Might be a little out of date though.

TSF Bounty: Escaped Criminals. This blasted sidequest is officially my arch-nemesis. I had hoped that TSLRCM would fix this buggy trainwreck of a sidequest that's practically luck-based to make work right in vanilla. But no, even with the RCM it breaks. Screw Obsidian's useless sloppy incompetent bozo programmers, and screw the LucasArts exec who insisted on rushing the smegging game out. 😡 They never appeared in the Dock Module after I told Dol Gren I'd seen them in the Czerka office, no matter what I took care of. And now I'm at the point where I can take the shuttle down to the Restoration Zone. Lovely... What's the order of operations to make this work while helping the Ithorians? If there isn't actually one, what do I need to tinker with in KSE to make this damn quest work? Okay, they spawned in the restoration zone anyway... Am I just imagining that the docks encounter was supposed to be a thing?

Anyone know if this has been sorted in the five months that have passed? I'd love to install that mod, it's one of the best Nar Shaddaa graphical enhancements I've seen yet.

1. Okay, so the Vibroblade is in vanilla in both the Xbox and PC versions then. Why was it replaced by TSLRCM? 2a. Might have to set up the Xbox 360 again to double-check, because I'm pretty sure that short swords and long swords are flat non-upgradeable in the Xbox version. 2b. Something's definitely gone weird with short swords in my install then, because it lets me try to insert a cell without greying out the slot. 3. Well, I'm at least fairly sure I've always found a Zabrak Grip and a cell inside the dorm when playing on the Xbox (including my unfinished TSL playthrough earlier this year), and I found them again this playthrough... So unless those were forced by VarsityPuppet's Peragus Tweak ( ) they would seem to be constant.. 4. Was it TSLRCM that added the Heavy Mining Laser?

WinRAR. I had to use a different extractor, WinRAR read it as a damaged archive.

PSA to people: This is one of those mods where you're likely to end up needing an alternate RAR extractor. Also, you will need a save from before speaking to Dendis for the mod to have effect. I'm guessing the same goes for uninstalling it.

The lack of such a mod is probably because most people who want to have it both ways either use the cheat console to just get a new one... or if they don't want to cheat, they place a save before presenting the pearl so they can reload after learning the history and then hold onto it instead. It would be a nice touch though. A clever idea. I wonder, does it have to be done before resolving the Wookiee-Czerka conflict?

The full files. The shortcuts were a misclick, I just didn't clean them up at the time because I didn't think the game would even notice they were in there. But as we have seen, I was wrong.

Nicely done! Good on you. Any interest in doing similar work on Calo Nord's armor (and also doing away with the boobsockets)?

No, this was installed after all the mods listed in the post. I did have a misclick during installation where the first time I tried copying some of the files into the override I accidentally hit "Copy shortcut". Could the shortcuts sitting in the override have done that? EDIT: They indeed seem to have been the culprit. Tried a reinstall of the mod without making that mistake, loaded a pre-departure save again, and this time things worked right (instead of what looks to have been "walls of an asteroid clipping through parts of the Ebon Hawk and blocking the view out transparisteel"). So I guess let this be a warning: If you accidentally hit "Copy shortcut" when copying stuff into your Override folder.. clean up the shortcuts. If you don't, weirdness will result.

So, after seeing how the vanilla hyperspace cockpit backdrop looked, I decided I wanted the benefits of these, so I quit and installed most of them. I skipped TEL_Rav.tga (because of continuity issues) and HAR_Stars.tga (because it conflicted with JorakUln's TSL Origins Harbinger). I reloaded a save before boarding the Ebon Hawk, yet results were... not as expected.

Okay, there seriously needs to be an easy-to-find list of the changes between the XBOX and PC versions of TSL. 😠 Trying Google the results are choked with stuff about mods.. I admit to some level of ignorance, because all my experience with vanilla TSL has been on the Xbox version. 1. I'm fairly certain that in the Xbox version of TSL, the short swords are completely non-upgradeable. Likewise, I'm fairly certain that on Peragus you found Vibroblades (and fewer of them), not Vibrocutters. As such, when I encountered these things I assumed them to be changes wrought by TSLRCM because they deviated from what I remembered finding in vanilla (or is my memory playing tricks on me? <.>) and none of my other mods when I first encountered the Vibrocutter seem like they could have possibly affected Peragus loot. EDIT: Looking at a thread of someone trying to get TSLRCM working on XBOX confirmed that yes, you find Vibroblades in that version. 2. If the short sword is supposed to be upgradeable at the edge and grip only, why does it even let you try to add a cell? That much is just plain weird. 3. I was misremembering about the miner's uniform accepting the Heat Shielding, I was thinking of the Bio-restorative Underlay. 4. You are completely wrong about all upgrades found at Peragus being random, unless that's something that changed on PC. Maybe some upgrades are random, but several - such as the Heat Shielding, the Zabrak Grip, the Basic Ionite Edge, the Improved Energy Cell, and the Bio-restorative underlay - are definitely constant. I have found those every single time I've played through Peragus. And it's constantly finding that energy cell - about the same time you have access to the Dormitory workbench, no less - that makes me think you're meant to have an upgradeable vibroweapon at Peragus.

Posting this here because a search of "vibrocutter" points to TSLRCM being responsible for that change. This seems more like an oddity/set of oddities in terms of design decisions than a bug, so Idk if I should fill out the questionnaire. Something I soon noticed on Peragus was that instead of the vibroblades/swords (I forget which it specifically was) you find there in the vanilla game you instead find "vibrocutters". I did not think much of it at the time, thinking it was just a name change. But now I know different. Eventually, I got to a workbench and noticed something odd. In vanilla TSL, the short sword - specifically described to be the plainest of the plain as far as weapons go - is non-upgradable. This makes perfect sense. it's too simplistic of a weapon to be able to take upgrades. Whereas the more sophisticated vibroweapons are upgradable. Yet now, the crappy short sword is what you can upgrade while the new vibrocutter is non-upgradable. That seems like a rather bizarre change, and I'd like to know why (as well as why neither this nor the change from vibroblades/swords to vibrocutters is noted in the "what's restored" list) - it doesn't seem like it would be more in line with authorial intent, because A. it's less in line with what was upgradable in K1 and B. the upgrades you acquire at Peragus include an energy cell (something that has no business being in anything other than a vibroweapon). Also weird is that the short sword has a slot for an energy cell upgrade even though it's not a powered weapon at all. The other upgrade oddity is with the miner's uniform. In vanilla, while it can't accept nearly the same variety of upgrades as actual armor it can accept at least some - including IIRC the heat shielding (which makes sense). Now, while it still has slots... the game isn't allowing me to put any of the upgrades in them, not even the heat shielding. What gives there?

Unfortunately I can't, because with the poison unstoppably depleting my health multiple times... I got too frustrated to make a save while poisoned. That being said, the medpacs were definitely doing nothing - they heal for 16 points (at my current Treat Injury) normally, far outstripping the poison loss. Yet each time I used one the poison loss was the only change in my health bar - including when I was no longer in combat and thus able to use medpacs freely. I think you might be right about it being a base-game issue, that would explain the inconsistency. When trying with one of my backup save files I seemed to have it at first, but after I bailed from combat I was able to actually heal. When I reloaded to try the fight again I wound up not getting poisoned at all, so there's also randomness with the droids' attacks to complicate testing... Speaking of save files though, I had the "all save files have the same image" glitch pop up. Well programmed, Obsidian! *applause* I returned to my main save for now, after the tests on the backup - those gave me hope that maybe the game would behave now. The dormitory has some poison traps in it - much more consistent than fighting the mining droids - so I'll be sure to do further testing on the main save there.
