From what I remember, the guy on reddit said he got it from some Russian mod APK forum back in 2021 that has since been shutdown. I can throw it in virus total if that makes you feel more comfortable, but I think there's no way to find the author for attribution, not that they'd likely want it. They didn't make or add any of their own files like in most mods, just edited the existing ones in Android Studio.

As I said, reach out to an admin or moderator and see what they say about it, perhaps ask in the kotor modding discord or wait until one sees this post.

It's not about feeling more comfortable, besides, when it comes to viruses these days, they can be hiding in your UEFI and all sorts, so I don't think I would trust any scan of APKs ever, perhaps go that extra step and compare the modified APK to the vanilla APK and figure out what is actually different so that you can be sure, as well as reach out to an admin or moderator.

Wouldn't this allow users to install Kotor without having to pay for it? This "mod" could be considered piracy if that is the case.

As they mentioned here, apparently it still forces validation and downloading of the .obb files through the app store.

Anyways, the APK will download the OBB files just fine so long as you have a Google Play account with a license if you launch the downloader activity first from an app like Activity Manager or Activity Launcher, then it'll download and launch like normal.

So I think it's the equivalent of the editable executable available for either game already available on this site.

It's just a matter of determining where it came from, attribution, permissions and it it's allowed generally I believe.

Very good on handheld PCs running Windows Subsystem for Android on Windows or Waydroid on Linux. I'm just asking if it's alright to share with everyone and not breaking any rules. It's not really a "mod" made by someone, just the original APK for version 1.0.7 with the ported dlls edited to remove the 40fps frame cap.

I'm not sure to be honest, this is something everyone will have to chime in and discuss, you should try reaching out to moderators of the site to see what they think.

More information might help find a reason for that.

Every module has a .git file, so what level are you trying to modify? Is it a custom level? Is it a base game level? How do you expect us to tell you why something doesn't have something if we don't know what that something even is...

Any way to fix this?

I have encountered this problem only once or twice myself and I don't know of a solution currently, I think it might have something to do with permissions, though I am not certain.

It might also just be firing because it's the default error message and you are installing to GoG and not Steam, could you manually update the namespaces.ini file to prioritise the GoG version and let me know if that solves the problem.

IE : Change this ->

To this ->

In the file namespaces.ini inside the tslpatchdata folder.

I still need to get the custom version of HoloPatcher updated at some point to include another dropdown for the versions in the namespaces.ini file.

What do I do?

Reinstall everything from scratch, from what I remember the HoloPatcher automatically created uninstaller doesn't account for everything.

v1.2.4 of the project has been released on GitHub in the releases section.

https://github.com/Thor110/Expanded-Galaxy-Main

Main Patch Notes - Quite a number of changes, all relatively small.

Port Patch Notes - A lot of changes and the inclusion of a custom launcher which I have been holding back for a while now.

Brotherhood Patch Notes - Not many changes, this is just a release to keep it in line with the other parts of the project, this still remains largely a proof of concept that porting other mods is fairly easy and requires little work. It's worth noting that Brotherhood still isn't fully tested.

I have been holding back this latest release for a little while now, it's still far from perfect but the new launcher makes things a little more fancy!

Also, a reminder, that my current goal is to finalise the creation of this foundational framework for expanding the games before adding in new content.

My next step is to finish writing the Save Importer and Save Converter into the launcher, which will allow users to import saves from KotOR1 to use in the port and import completed game saves from KotOR1 to effect the choices you can make in KotOR2.

From there I can finally begin to think about laying out the additional content for the new worlds in both games.

As well as creating an overhaul portion of the project that updates the games visuals, models and textures.

It is a modded APK of 1.0.7 (the APK was given to me premade so I don't know how to patch the same changes into a stock APK), however it is only 12mb and does not contain the core game files, only a stub that will only download the OBB files if the user passes a Google Play license check so I fail to see how it would qualify as piracy. It's equivalent to the modded exe distributed on gamescopyworld used for widescreen patching on PC. Like that, it ISN'T a copy of the game and WILL NOT run without legitimate game files provided by the user. 

Realistically that would be up to the user who gave it to you to post it then, otherwise you'd have to consult with everyone, I would make the same argument but for the sake of simplicity I said no as I presumed using a modded APK would require the OBB files to be released with them.

Perhaps find the origin of the file and go from there.

Yeah that seems cool, should be possible with Thor110's expanded galaxy project, I'll ask him when I get some time. My modding skills are pretty low for now as I'm very new to modding Kotor but who knows ? Perhaps some day I'll do something like that. Tbf Korriban's my favorite planet. It's really great. I actually played SWTOR first so when I saw there was Korriban in Kotor I was really glad lol

To save you time as I saw this post, I wrote a tutorial on porting levels between the two games which is my tutorial series in the tutorials section, it's a fairly straight forward process, much easier to do from scratch than sorting through the files in my project to isolate the files needed for doing that.

I have considered adding the tombs back in myself, but I think it's kind of fitting that they are blocked off and likely supposed to have collapsed, plus I have enough work to do for the project as it is so I avoid making more for myself.

Adding a companion to that section, even if just a temporary one is a good idea as it is quite difficult from what I remember.

With regards to the audio files, I think the steam version can only play .mp3 from what I remember people saying, but I have no problem playing .wav files from the first game in the aspyr version of the game, so it could just be a slight encoding variance or issue or perhaps it can only play .mp3 files from the override folder, I am not too sure on the specifics as I haven't personally encountered the issue so perhaps someone else can fill in the details.

This seems like the sort of thing I would be tempted to add to the Expanded Galaxy Project, with permission of course, perhaps if you reach out to me on Discord I can offer some assistance with finishing the base mod either way.

It sounds like you are most of the way there and are just left to tackle a few small issues such as the audio and some scripting issues.

I started my mod project over 6 years ago and it's still years away from being completed, so don't let that bother you, there are plenty around in similar positions too.

Would changing these values be an arduous thing? Would it run into conflict with other mods, like TSLRCM?

No, you could just patch them in using HoloPatcher.

@Thor110 Do you know if there's something in the area files that gives things colour?

Probably the DynAmbientColor, The SunAmbientColor or the SunFogColor in the .are files as those values differ between games.

It could also be Grass_Emissive which is absent from my .are for dan_m14aa for some reason, but I suspect it's SunAmbientColor and or DynAmbientColor.

The galaxymap script changes the room model animation to play which swaps between different skybox models which show those textures.

k_inc_hawk.nss

etc

The model "003EBOq" contains these room animations.

How do I make a Reskin on android

Same as you do on PC.

Extract the file you need with KotOR Tool on PC.

Then edit it in an image editor on PC.

I don't think this process can be done entirely on Android.

Are there any mods that replace all the swords in-game with double-edged straight swords like broadswords or longswords? I've never liked single-edge swords like the ones in KotOR. Doesn't need to be anything special or unique. Thanks!

No, there are not any mods that replace all the swords in the game.

My advice is don't use Holocron Toolset, it's not advisable to use it for publically released mods, it adds and alters entries that aren't necessary in many different files when editing them, it's handy for the 3D view, that's about it in my opinion, it's still in Beta effectively.

You probably just need to use the other entry, VO_ResRef I believe is the .lip file and Sound is the actual sound file, there is a "Sound Exists" checkbox, but I checked on a file I am using, which doesn't have that ticked and the voice still plays.

If as you described other files are working in the entry you are trying to use for your files, then it's the files.

You are using the "encode_vo.bat"? or are you entering the command line arguments for SithCodec?

Perhaps you could try them unencoded?

As I recall you need to do three HK-50 encounters and then talk to HK-47 about it before the assault on Telos.

So I have tried to figure out where to start at with this mod but I don't know where to begin. My thought process has been this: 'In TSLRCM after you finish talking to Zherron, a in-game cutscene triggers. How does this cutscene get triggered?' I have not been able to figure out how the cutscene get triggered. I am using the Holocron Toolset and DLG Editor. I can see that at the end of the dialog chain in zherron.dlg there is '{change module}' in the dialog box using DLG Editor, but I don't know what that does or what module it is changing to. I apologize in advance if this is obvious to everyone else, but I am at a complete loss as to how to even start doing this, much less where to go afterwards.

My advice is not to use Holocron Toolset, it is still essentially in beta and it's changes to a module cannot be trusted for the final product.

Whenever I use it, I use all of the individual tools for filetypes to extract the relevant information I am applying to it, which is only ever co-ordinates as it's 3D viewer is helpful.

But for releasing or even making a mod, it makes too many changes to fields that it doesn't need to for me to fully trust it.

To determine which level it transitions to, you will either need to look at the string parameter field in the dialog line or you might need to decompile the script, it is worth noting however not all scripts can be decompiled, but most can.

If I were looking to do this, what I would do, is extract TSLRCM's module to a folder, then extract the other mods module to a folder, from there I would write a batch script to diff all of the files in both folders to determine exactly which files are different between each mod, then I would examine them more closely and figure out what changes need to be merged, kept or abandoned.

Relatively simple, just look at the tutorials sction and mods in question and work out what needs doing.

Just a matter of working out what files to transplant across.

When you say "overhaul for the Coruscant mod", do you plan on making an entirely new custom planet module for Coruscant for the Expanded Galaxy project, or is it just a visual overhaul of the "Coruscant - Jedi Temple" mod?

I just meant a visual overhaul for the "Coruscant - JediTemple" mod, I have already fixed a few visual glitches on one of the levels which can be found amonst my existing mods.

Model Fix : https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2457-dantooine-coruscant-model-fix/

Visibility Fix : https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1706-visibility-file-fixes/

What I had intended would realistically just have been this new landing pad and fixes to anything else I could find but unfortunately I haven't been able to find the time to work on this for a while now.

Hello! I have a question, i have installed the mod just yet, went back to a save game just before killing Kreia, but i just get warped into main menu.  I did just click the TSLPatcher, nothing went wrong with installing whatsoever. What could have gone wrong?

This mod makes changes to various levels and scripts in the game, you must start a new game for it to work properly because of the way the game stores entire levels in the save files.

Yes it's possible, you probably just need to look at the way the scripts work when calling each line.

If I recall in the first game it's a global banter variable that loops through the dialog options and in the second game it uses a similar method to cycle through the dialog choices of basic one line dialog lines spoken by common npcs.

Edit : Regarding the audio files you might just need to ensure they are the correct format, .wav encoding, I think 2 channel, I can't remember the specifics but you can use SithCodec by JCarter426 to encode the file for you.

I have a 60fps mod for the 1.0.7 version of the game. It requires a modded APK and the old obb files from that version. Since it isn't cracked and still performs the license check from Google Play, can I post a download link to both?

What exactly are you proposing posting filewise? If it involves the APK or the OBB, the answer is no.
