This mod from JCarter426 ports that outfit to K1 and gives it to Bastila.

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.

Good thought, but the mod he's talking about isn't mine. I did also release some new lightsaber blades way back when, but not familiar with this one. sorry!

There is a small bug or oversight with the 'bumpmappable' flag in KOTORmax: if multiple meshes share a texture, and we enable/disable the 'bumpmappable' flag for one mesh, it is automatically enabled/disabled for others with the same texture. This becomes a problem when working with models that have meshes with alpha < 1 and use the same texture for all meshes, since mesh transparency does not work with the normal map.

In MDLEdit, the 'bumpmappable' flag is also tied to the texture, rather than to individual meshes (as can be seen in the Textures menu).

The 'tangent space (bumpmappable)' mesh flag in Blender works correctly and can be set individually for each mesh, even if they share the same material/texture. If we use MDLEdit to convert a Blender .mdl model to .ascii and then load it into KOTORmax, the flags set for each mesh will persist until we interact with them.

Unrelated issue: When exporting a model with .pwk from KOTORmax, .pwk becomes non-solid (player can walk through placeable object). Import the same model into Blender, don't change anything, export, and the .pwk will magically become solid (impassable) again. Tested on many models. Here is custom g_wing model (from 501ond in TSL) with a non-solid .pwk.

If you edit the ascii which KotORMax exports in Notepad, you can set the bumpmappable flag value for whichever meshes you'd like. Have you tried this? Or does MDLEdit revert the changes when you compile?

To your second point, which process are you following for creating your walkmeshes? I've created multiple custom placeables with new walkmeshes and they're all solid.

I have a crash issue in the Vulkar Base.

When the PC, Mission, and the Wookie enter in the cell that has spice (I think, it's the Lab...) the video starts. Then, the game becomes inaccessible.

And, I can't see Lab label on map.

Can you help me anyway?

I have 1.3 update, and Restoration 1.2.

I started the game before getting any Vulkar missions/quests.

 

I can’t tell from reading this. Have you tried starting a new game? Or are you just using existing saves at an earlier point?

I would strongly suggest starting a brand new game whenever you install a mod as large as this.

I tried to start before entering the base, Lower/Upper Sewers.

It didn't work.

I have 4 CDs Version. Does it matter? Or I have to use Steam or GOG version?

I've already installed 1.03 Update.

I have another question too.

I'm watching the Kotor Walkthrough on Youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxf_ppEgyjI

In there, the prototype vibroblade has 2 swords. However, the prototype vibroblade looks like the others.

You can see it clearly at 35:57.

Is it normal, or the guy, who prepared the walkthrough, uses a mod for it?

 

Did you extract everything from the downloaded archive before running the installer? As long as you've started a new game, you should be fine, as long as you've installed the mod properly. Shouldn't matter which version of the game you're using, either.

As for the sword in the video, yes it's a mod. I don't know which one.

Hi,

I install the mod.

I've never installed a Kotor mod. So, I don't know what to do exactly.

I installed the KotOR 1 Restoration 1.2 mod.

I did what it says in the in the tutorial. I used "K1R_1.2_Installer.exe".

I loaded a saved game in the Black Vulkar Base. There is no way to go to Level 2. There is still a small room that has boxes, etc...

Why is that?

If you can help me anyway, I'll really appreciate.

You’ll need to start a new game, or at least load a save from before you entered the base, as the changes made to the module files won’t be read with the save you’re using.

Personally, I’d start a new game entirely, so as to make sure everything else works as it should and to ensure you don’t miss out on other content that’s been restored to areas you’ve already been to.

Doesn't work 

Bristling with information and specificity though your post is, I'm not really managing to extrapolate the nature of your troubles from it.

Reviving a thread which has been dead for two years with a post like that isn't really good practice. You'd be much better off either starting a new topic for your specific issue, or asking for help on the DeadlyStream Discord server.

At any rate, KotOR Tool has been essentially obseleted by Holocron Toolset, which you download here at DeadlyStream.

@Marius Fett,

thanks for providing a fixed version of the model. I was wondering if you may be inclined to check fix also the UV mapping for some of the items on the shelf. It's quite obvious to me that some sides are completely messed up.

I hadn’t noticed, I’ll be honest. I sort of just fixed what I was asked to fix and left it at that. Pure laziness on my part. 
 

I can’t remember the last time I did anything with these games, but I’m sure I can rustle something up next time I’m able to get to my PC.

Not sure he looks ancient enough though.

Weeeeell, he’s a scruffy looking bugger, so it’s half way towards being right. 😂

Once again nothing particularly impressive, but I thought about doing this literally years ago and the idea came back to me this afternoon:

In the appearance.2da row for the character you’re using, which value is the envmap column set to?

Nothing overly interesting, as I haven't really done much modding over the past few months, but I did do this:

I wouldn't say most players dislike K1's cut content, I believe that if the players have to chose between just K1 restored content and many bug fixes most players would rather play with K1CP and its many bug fixes. That is the reason why my most recent mods aren't compatible with K1R, K1R is buggy due to the Dev Team being non-existent in 2023 so I might as well stick with the big mod with an active Dev Team that most players already use.

 

But with the release of the RC-K1CP mod, this won't have to be the case... if players want restored content they can now install RC-K1CP on top of the K1CP mod and get the best of both worlds without the hassle.

 

Thank you, I shall get the integration out in the next update! 

I think a lot of it is because K1 is basically a complete game already, whereas TSL was a completely different kettle of fish and TSLRCM is a very necessary modification.

Most of the cut content in K1 is fairly unsubstantial in comparison and doesn’t really add that much in terms of replayability. The appeal of restoring K1 content and playing through it is more a novelty thing in my mind. 
 

Not to discourage you obviously, if you can restore it all well and maintain the mod better than K1R has been then great, I’ll certainly be giving it a whirl!
