View File True Sith Assassins & Awareness Restoration Adds sneak attacks and PC Awareness checks to Sith Assassins. SUMMARY: From the in-game description of the Awareness skill: “Awareness governs the ability of a character to spot objects or enemies hidden by Stealth…” If you're like me, with all the Sith Assassins in the game you might have assumed your Awareness played some role in detecting them. Well, I'm here to tell you that Sith Assassins never actually use Stealth, and you've probably never rolled an Awareness check against an enemy in either games. It's all a lie, and you're entitled to compensation. In reality, NPC stealth is an illusion scripted by the game, and your stats play no role in detecting hidden NPCs. Sith Assassins don't have any points in Stealth, and on top of that, they can't even perform sneak attacks. Some assassins! This mod does the following things: - Restores PC Awareness vs Stealth checks on Sith Assassins - Gives all Sith Assassins the ability to perform sneak attacks - Adds stealth behavior to the Sith Assassins on Malachor (in vanilla they just wait around uncloaked) This will not only make Awareness a more useful skill but also turn Sith Assassins into more deadly enemies. You will not see them at all until you make a successful Awareness check or until after they've already hit you with a sneak attack. Remember that sneak attacks can happen outside of stealth too, so don't let them flank you! This mod may make some parts of the game significantly more challenging, but hopefully also more dynamic and interesting. All stats and feats are granted based on PC level so it should be fairly balanced, but I welcome any feedback. DETAILS: This mod is accomplished through custom scripts which take advantage of the unused Invisibility effect and emulate the engine-level PC Stealth vs NPC Awareness checks. NPC Stealth was never fully implemented so it is pretty broken and just putting the NPCs in actual Stealth Mode gives erratic and unwanted results. While in line of sight of a stealthed Sith Assassin, each of your party members will periodically make an Awareness check against the NPC's Stealth. This is made to be as close as possible to the game’s calculation, accounting for distance, field of view, and whether you're running or in combat. However, the checks occur more frequently than with NPC Awareness (every 6s vs every 20s). If a check succeeds, the enemy will become visible/targetable and will not get to perform a sneak attack (unless they're behind you or you’re stunned). All Sith Assassins in the game are given points into the Stealth skill and a Sneak Attack feat. For balance these are granted on spawn according to the scaled level of the NPC and the Sith Assassin class progression. Sith Assassins are given a Stealth skill equal to their level (with a minimum of 5). INSTALLATION: Please read compatibility notes before installing. To install, run TSLPatcher.exe. Unaltered copies of any edited files will be placed in the "backup" folder in the location of TSLPatcher.exe. UNINSTALLATION: 1.

If any other files were created inside the backup folder, move them to override. COMPATIBILITY & OTHER NOTES: Technically compatible with Peragus Sith Troops to Sith Assassins by Hassat Hunter, but the Sith Assassins added by that mod will not be affected by my mod. Might make a patch in the future. Fully compatible with Sith Assassins -- With Lightsabers by Shem. However, my mod must be installed AFTER Sith Assassins with Lightsabers by Lewok2007, which combines the previous two mods. Be aware that this mod already increases the damage output of Sith Assassins by giving them sneak attacks, so giving them lightsabers on top of it might make for a tough time. Up to you. Should be fully compatible with mods that edit the default creature scripts, like Improved AI by Stoffe. Partially compatible with Trayus Rank Reform, but my mod must be installed after and will overwrite most of the female Sith Assassins added by that mod. The Sith Assassins on Dxun retain vanilla stealth behavior to avoid breaking cutscenes but are still granted Sneak Attack.

View File Improved Force Sight New Force Sight mechanics, including stat bonuses and a higher-tier Force Sight power. Also turns Force Sight on permanently when controlling Visas. SUMMARY: In the game, Visas can teach you Force Sight which allows you to see the alignment of characters around you, occasionally through some obstacles. It's a cool RP thing but not really something you use often. This mod aims to improve Force Sight by giving it new bonuses and mechanics, including the addition of a higher-tier Improved Force Sight power which can boost your defense, making it useful in combat. In the spirit of my "skills affect Force Power" mods, the effects of Force Sight are linked to your Awareness skill. High awareness Jedi Seer build? In addition to the usual effects, Force Sight now grants a bonus to Awareness. While in vanilla this is only useful for detecting mines (through the Force?) and maybe skill checks if you time it right, this mod is intended to synergize with my other mod True Sith Assassins & Awareness Restoration which makes the Awareness skill necessary for detecting Sith Assassins and avoiding sneak attacks. When using that mod, the Awareness bonus becomes very useful in areas with Sith Assassins, especially on the final planet. After learning Force Sight from Visas, you can upgrade the power to Improved Force Sight, which gives a higher Awareness bonus and also boosts your Defense depending on your base Awareness rank. My thought is that an advanced Jedi could take advantage of this power in battle, using Force Sight to better perceive their enemies' movements. The degree to which they can do this is tied to their inherent skill in perceiving the world. Think of it like an alternative, temporary kind of Battle Precognition that you can get through Visas if you don't have Handmaiden (or fall out of her graces). This mod will also make it so that Force Sight is on permanently while controlling Visas. In vanilla, it's only turned on in first-person view. She will come with the Improved Force Sight power and can spend FP to temporarily get the stat bonuses. In order for the changes to Visas to take place, this mod must be installed before your first encounter with her. DETAILS: In addition to the normal effects, Force Sight now grants a +4 bonus to Awareness. The power still costs 15 FPs. Improved Force Sight grants a +8 bonus to Awareness and +1 Defense for every 3 points in the base Awareness skll rank (not including bonuses from items, attributes, or effects, including from this power). This power costs 20 FPs. This means that with 18 points in Awareness, you'll gain a +6 Defense bonus, equivalent to Force Armor. By the end-game it's feasible to have 30 points spent in Awareness, translating to a +10 Defense bonus. The duration of both powers are extended by 1 second for every 2 points in your base Awareness rank. Due to how the mod works, Force Sight will be visible when leveling up, but you won’t be able to select it and still must learn it from Visas. Improved Force Sight will be selectable after you learn Force Sight as long as you’re level 12 or higher. INSTALLATION: To install, run TSLPatcher.exe.

View File Better Disciple Meditation Makes it so meditating with Disciple grants a temporary bonus to Wisdom. SUMMARY: In the vanilla game you can meditate with Disciple if no enemies are around to fully restore your Force points. It's a cool mechanic but FP regenerates fast enough outside of combat that I've never really used it except for role-playing. This mod aims to make meditation more useful by also granting both the PC and Disciple a +2 bonus to Wisdom for 5 minutes. Nothing huge but it's free and lasts a long time, so it might get you to bring Disciple along more often or check in to meditate before heading out. INSTALLATION: To install, run TSLPatcher.exe. If an edited file already exists in your override folder, an unaltered copy will be placed in the "backup" folder in the location of TSLPatcher.exe. UNINSTALLATION: 1. Remove the following files from override: - spells.2da - effecticon.2da - dscplmed_caster.utp - a_forcepointheal.ncs - m_imp_dscplmed.ncs - m_dscmed_plc_htb.ncs - disciplemed.tga 2. Replace dialog.tlk in the main game folder with the unaltered version in the backup folder. 3. Move any remaining files in the backup folder to override. COMPATIBILITY: Not compatible with mods that edit the script a_forcepointheal.ncs. Otherwise should be compatible as long as the mod uses a patcher or this mod is installed after. Compatible with Party Swap. PERMISSIONS: Please do not reupload this mod or any contained files without my permission.

View File Party Stealth Mode [TSL] Adds the ability to enter your whole party into stealth without activating solo mode. SUMMARY Why do Sith assassins get to sneak around in groups? Don't they have to turn on solo mode? Now your party can move through the shadows together too. This mod introduces party stealth mode, allowing all eligible party members to simultaneously enter stealth without turning on solo mode. Party stealth mode is activated through an armband which turns on stealth for all party members that are equipped with a stealth unit or otherwise able to use stealth (Force Camouflage, G0-T0). Solo mode will be turned off and your party members will follow you like they normally do. Activating the armband while this mode is on will remove everyone from stealth. See additional notes below. Only the main character can activate this ability and must be able to use stealth. You will get the armband as soon as Kreia joins your party on Peragus. Because of this you'll need a save from before she joins your party for the mod to work properly. However if you're mid-game and want to install this, you can get the armband with the giveitem code "partystealth". INSTALLATION To install, run TSLPatcher.exe. Unaltered copies of any modified files will be placed inside the "backup" folder in the location of TSLPatcher.exe. UNINSTALLATION 1. Remove the following files from override: - spells.2da - baseitem.2da - partystealth.uti - m_imp_prtysneak.ncs - a_addkreia.ncs - ii_ootgmbnds_001.tga 2. If any files were created in the backup folder, move them to override. COMPATIBILITY Should be compatible with most mods assuming they use TSLPatcher or this mod is installed after. OTHER NOTES Party stealth mode is defined by the following conditions: 1. All eligible party members are in stealth mode. 2. Solo mode is turned off. If any of the above conditions are not fulfilled, activating the armband will apply them. If all of the conditions are fulfilled, activating the armband will remove stealth from all party members. You won't be able to toggle stealth for individual party members without turning on solo mode. If you press the normal stealth toggle it will turn on solo mode regardless of whether a character is in stealth or not. Also occasionally characters may exit stealth on their own to perform an action for whatever reason. If any of these things happen, just activate the armband again to reinitialize party stealth. Computer-controlled characters with the Sneak Attack feat will usually perform sneak attacks if you enter combat from this mode. However sometimes they might do another action which breaks stealth first. When changing modules like entering the Ebon Hawk with party stealth on, characters may remain in stealth mode until they perform an action which breaks stealth, such as entering a conversation. I don't expect this to cause major issues but it's probably best to remove party stealth before leaving an area. Bear in mind the developers had reasons for enforcing solo mode, whether for balance or technical issues. I haven't encountered any serious issues but haven't tested every situation. Please let me know of any bugs or weirdness and I'll try to fix it. PERMISSIONS Feel free to use the source code for your own mod as long as you give credit.

View File Visas Marr: Sith Assassin Makes Visas a Sith Assassin. SUMMARY: This mod switches Visas' class from Jedi Sentinel to Sith Assassin. It's a fitting class story-wise given that she is an assassin sent by the Sith when you meet her. This is purely for fun, not balance. Sentinels and Assassins both have their advantages, so it doesn't necessarily make her better or worse, just more stealth-oriented. Her attributes and skills are untouched. The main changes going from Sentinel to Assassin are: - Better defense per level - +2 Force points per level - Lower Fortitude & Will saves - Demolitions class skill instead of Treat Injury - Granted Sneak Attack - Granted Force Camouflage - Granted Weapon Focus: Lightsaber - Slower feat progression - No Force Immunity feats - Can't learn Close Combat, Dual Strike, or Regenerate Vitality feats NOTE: This mod will only work on saves made prior to meeting Visas. INSTALLATION: To install, run TSLPatcher.exe. If an edited file already exists in your override folder, an unaltered copy will be placed in the "backup" folder in the location of TSLPatcher.exe. UNINSTALLATION: To uninstall, remove p_visas.utc and visascut.utc from your override folder. If any files were created inside the backup folder, move them to override. COMPATIBILITY: Will conflict with mods that edit Visas' class, obviously. May conflict with mods that edit Visas' starting powers, feats, or stats. Should be compatible with mods that edit Visas appearance, models/textures. Compatibility is assuming other mods use TSLPatcher or this mod is installed after. To be safe I recommend installing this mod after others that edit Visas.

View File Improved LS Enlightenment & DS Corruption Feats Changes the Jedi Master/Sith Lord unique feats to also increase influence changes. SUMMARY: The unique feats Light Side Enlightenment and Dark Side Corruption granted to Jedi Masters and Sith Lords cause your influence to have a greater effect on party members' alignment. Unfortunately, party members don't get stat bonuses from LS or DS mastery, making these feats have little practical use. This is one of the factors that make JM/SL cool for role-playing but without much extra to offer in functionality. This mod aims to make the feats a little more useful by having them also amplify changes to companion influence. Now, Jedi Masters and Sith Lords will gain 50% more influence with party members. However, influence lost will also be increased by 50%. Low influence is the same as high influence in terms of unlocking dialogue so I don't want to bias one strategy over the other. Still you will be able to gain or lose influence faster. For example, with these feats, 3 influence gains and 1 loss will net the equivalent to 3 regular gains. INSTALLATION: Copy the contents of "to override" to your game's override folder. UNINSTALLATION: Remove the following files from override: - a_influence_dec.ncs - a_influence_inc.ncs COMPATIBILITY: Not compatible with Modified Influence System by Hassat Hunter.
