That could work for sure, you would also have to set a variable and have a script ensure to check that when entering the cave so that you don't get sent to the original module. Feel free to try and make it happen, I don't have time for it that's for sure.

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. You would have to make a room animation to transition cleanly I think. Not sure it's something I could manage.

I have considered porting the caves and ludo kresh's tomb over to K1, or rather using it in my port of K1, but I don't think it makes sense because then the tomb would have been looted by the second game and would have to be empty. I also looked at just using the caves and leaving it locked, but there is a slight difference between the two caves models, in KotOR1 there is a small opening at the end of the caves, just across the bridge, in KotOR2 there is not. So I couldn't decide on what the best approach was for the port. As for KotOR1 itself, it's very easy to port levels over to the first game, you're more than welcome to use the files from my K2 to K1 port of all the levels which is still available on ModDB. https://www.moddb.com/mods/expanded-galaxy-project-kotor-12/downloads/revans-eternal-empire-k1-beta-v0-2-9

KotOR 1 & 2 Texture Analysis So, after noticing this mod I decided to have a look around and see if there are any other textures in the game that got smaller in the second game and I came across a few oddities as well. It seems some actually textures are smaller in the first game and larger in the second game, while some are larger in the first game and smaller in the second. https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1330-kotor-1-texture-to-kotor-2-game-bridge Thanks to @Malkior for making a start on this and discovering some of the textures that got smaller in TSL. The fact that Manaan has a bunch of OLD textures was pointed out by @N-DReW25 Early Access Release This includes all the textures and bump maps I have found so far. I also removed the alpha layer from the Hutt textures which was causing the transparency in Malkior's release. KotOR2 K1-To-K2-Bridge.7z KotOR1 K2-To-K1-Bridge.7z I felt like all of this was worth documenting as it appears I will have to go through and compare every texture in both games. Switch Anomalies As pointed out by @N-DReW25 there are some anomalies with the Switch version of the game worth making note of. Textures To Remake - ( COMPLETE ) What I have discovered so far manually by chance. I get the feeling that going through this will have to be a group effort, there's no way I can compare all of the textures in both games myself, I have automated the majority of the work but the remaining files in "Not-In-Both.7z" need to be compared manually or piped through an AI model if possible. Textures That Have Bump Maps But Don't Use Them It seems these textures actually have bump maps which are not assigned to them in the associated .txi file, I have set up .txi files for them. When I am finished looking through all the textures and comparing everything I will release a mod that updates everything accordingly. Textures Meant For The Original Xbox File Analyses Comparison Results - ( COMPLETE ) This is a complete analysis and comparison of all files in both games swpc_tex_tpa.erf packages. KotOR1 : 3285 Files KotOR2 : 3275 Files It does not however take into account things such as the following. Textures that might exist throughout either game at different resolutions and with different filenames. In order to determine if any textures exist at different resolutions, the following lists of files must be compared manually or piped through an AI if possible. Files From K1 Not In K2 ( 1757 Files ) Files From K2 Not In K1 ( 1780 Files ) Files That Are Identical But Have Different Filenames ( COMPLETE ) - [ Left is K1 - Right is K2 ] - [ K1 : 231 Files] - [K2 : 206 Files ] Identical-Different-Filenames.7z The following lists of files couldn't be converted to TGA with Xoreos Tools, but could be extracted as TGA using KotOR Tool. As far as I can tell all that exists that is of interest amongst these lists is an old incomplete version of "LMA_tech01" Files From K1 That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA And Don't Exist In K2 ( 6 Files ) Files From K2 That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA And Don't Exist In K1 ( 8 Files ) Files That Are Identical In Both Games That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA ( 3 Files ) As for determining if any textures exist in either game at larger resolutions than one another, I think that has to be inspected manually using the same lists, or possibly could be handed off to an AI model. Files That Are NOT Identical But Exist In Both Games - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 145 Files ] Not-Identical-Release.7z These 145 files are some of those that will need inspecting and comparing manually. Files That Are Identical In Both Games - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 1225 Files ] Files Not Included. Files From K1 Not In K2 - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 1757 Files ] "Not-In-Both.7z" at the bottom of the post. Files From K2 Not In K1 - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 1780 Files ] "Not-In-Both.7z" at the bottom of the post. Files From K1 That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA And Don't Exist In K2 - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 6 Files ] K1-Didnt-Convert-Xoreos.7z Files From K2 That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA And Don't Exist In K1 - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 8 Files ] K2-Didnt-Convert-Xoreos.7z Files That Are Identical In Both Games That Couldn't Be Converted To TGA - ( COMPLETE ) - [ 3 Files ] That's everything, now between us all we just need to look through the files that aren't in both games to see if any textures exist at different resolutions like I and others have pointed out that don't use the same filename. NOTE : I accidentally left "M37aa_02_a0004d.tga" in "K1-Not-In-K2" just delete that one file, saves me reuploading 265mbs. I found it as I have "Identical" folders for both games, this is also how I found the Extra TXI files listed below. Not-In-Both.7z K1 has some TXI files K2 does not, as does K2 which are included below. Extra-TXI.7z I believe that covers everything, but let me know if you spot anything I missed! UPDATE : I have been using this information to improve my main project, I just used the lists I generated to automatically remove the tga/txi files from both the main and port projects for Expanded Galaxy and replace them with the original compressed .tpc files, as well as remove any files that already existed in the second games files. This resulted in an overall reduction of 231mb's file size for the overall project split between the main and port. I am also using these lists to track down the textures that exist in the second game but have a different filename than they did in the first game which should reduce the file size even further, but to do that, I first have to update all the references in the model files to use the names of the texture in the second game. ADDITIONAL : While going through the texture files of both games in-depth I have come across some interesting oddities, such as textures that are a larger resolution, textures that have bump maps which aren't used and many bump maps which could be applied to textures in the second game that use re-colours of textures from the first game. Will be releasing a mod that includes these files at some point.

View File Sith Academy Missing Rooms NOTE : This was made specifically for the Expanded Galaxy Project but I decided to release a modders resource version. This is intended for anyone that wishes to add the Library & Teachers Quarters rooms from TSL to the first game, the rubble has been removed and an empty level is included that just contains the assets that are present in the second game so they can be used as reference. I added the missing beds to the teachers quarters and the spotlights under the doors to both rooms and made a number of small edits to the models. There are a few small changes, such as the computers not being broken and each placeable now uses a string from the first games dialog.tlk ( Bag, Computer, Door, Footlocker ) as does the map note waypoint. I have also used the .pth file from 702kor for this version of the level. The .are & .ifo file are identical to those within korr_m35aa The .git file contains just the doors, placeables, sounds and a single waypoint for the Library. There is an expanded and a light .vis file, the expanded .vis file more closely resembles the TSL version and enables you to see lights from distant rooms and the light version more closely resembles the K1 version the expanded version is in the override by default. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Installation: Copy Modules & Override folder to the game directory. Warp to m35aa to look around the level. There is an installer specific version for anyone who wishes to install the empty rooms to the game for a regular playthrough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks to DarthParametric for fixing the walkmesh in the Teachers Quarters. Thanks to PapaZinos for fixing the UV and lightmap issues with the added geometry. ( I am waiting for these updates and will update this file when they are ready ) Used KotOR Tool, Blender, MDLEdit-v1.0.4, GIMP and Notepad++ to make this.

View File Korriban Sith Academy TSL Model Fixes NOTE : This is included with the Expanded Galaxy Project already. These are a few model fixes I have made for the Sith Academy on Korriban in TSL.

View File Corrected Mini Map - Sith Academy I noticed while running around this map that everything seemed slightly off, while I am still not quite happy with the way it looks, if you run around the edges of the map in-game, it feels better than it did previously.

Good point, I did sort of consider that, but not being able to see the hallway directly across from 702KOR2c, through 702KORr to 702KORt seems like overkill, there is only 7 rooms visible now, it was 6 before I added 702KORt, but some rooms have as many as 10 by default, some even more. Though admittedly if you run around that corner quickly enough there is only a split second in which you have time to notice it spawn in. It's definitely worth fixing these days though, I find it quite noticeable anyway. Speaking of .vis files, I never did get them working for the ported levels, if I recall it was the lack of a root node or something along those lines but just not having a .vis file forces the whole thing to render, which works for now. Update : I have been working on a custom launcher for the project and have just finished adding the ability to swap between the classes of the game in both games. I figured because "Jedi From The Start" is such a popular mod, I would be sure to include it as an option, especially where I went to the effort of determining exactly which bytes to replace in the executable to make it possible, I also decided to make it an option for both games.

A small update on something I have been working on over the past few days. Currently this all resides in a folder called "Korriban Expansion Works" The modders resource is intended for anyone that wishes to add the Library & Teachers Quarters rooms from TSL to the first game, the rubble has been removed and an empty level is included that just contains the assets that are present in the second game so they can be used as reference. I added the missing beds to the teachers quarters and the spotlights under the doors to both rooms and made a number of small edits to the models. There are a few small changes, such as the computers not being broken and each placeable now uses a string from the first games dialog.tlk ( Bag, Computer, Door, Footlocker ) as does the map note waypoint. I have of course also added these areas to the port of KotOR1 and have plans to make use of them eventually. As well as that I spent quite a while editing the visibility file after finding quite a few different spots from which you could see that rooms appeared or disappeared in both K1 and TSL. I am surprised that these made it into the game. There are quite a few more as well, but they can only be noticed from a long distance. I also spent a number of hours editing the minimap and correcting a sizing error present in the original mini map. I created a fixed version of the minimap for K1 as well which doesn't include the extra rooms, turns out some of the rooms are slightly out of line with the player so I tinkered with the map pixel by pixel until I could run around the edge of the entire level and everything felt right. On top of all this I fixed a few geometry errors where there were holes in walls or extra faces that weren't visible in both the TSL version of Korriban and the K1 version and added the spotlights under the doors to the two new rooms. This area didn't have any geometry at all so there was just a hole in the wall which was clearly visible when walking through this hallway. Here are some more screenshots showing the changes. Finally I have cleaned up a load more files that didn't need to be in the port or main portion of the project. Every step forwards is a step closer to completion, I know most people want me to get a move on and populate the areas with content, but I don't want to rush anything, I want to get the foundations laid and free of issues, expand upon and fix whatever I can and then set about adding new content. There is also the matter of making a functional launcher that includes a save importer and allows easy access to all of the relevant functions and is capable of launching both games, at the moment a basic launcher is included with the GitHub version and works but doesn't implement the save importer functions. Still looking for people to join the team, so if you have any modding experience with the games or just want to help out by testing, feel free to reach out to me. The modders resource version of this will be available as soon as it's authorised. I have also submitted Mobile M478EP and Mobile Coruscant. I think that's everything.

It really just depends on if one mod alters the same file as another mod. That build is curated and overseen by modders who actively ensure that there are no conflicts. When it comes to trying to make mod builds, you should either rely on the neocities mod build, learn to make mods and build your own or expect it to break. The latter is what most people go for, expect it to break. Constantly testing mixed with hoping it just works, is a bad approach and can lead to circumstances where the mod build might work for one playthrough but not for another, for example if a mod breaks the LS or DS path, but not both.

Not at all, it needed to be worked on anyway, it could definitely use someone to give it a proper playthrough though, so far all I have done is enter most of the levels and check they load.

Well, it seems I made a slight blunder with some of my own fixes. I corrected various file name mismatches for some of the models in M478 in my own project and did so for this as well, but I must have improperly checked the export flags on one of them. Have since corrected the issue and it seems all the levels load fine, however there is still the visual error to deal with. Some of the distant level geometry pokes through the fog as can be seen at the top of this screenshot. Guess that's what I get for poking around and fixing things at the same time as testing them! I believe it might actually just work as it is, but my fixes will stop the game outputting an "ar_error.log" to the files directory, so that's something. Still go to do a proper playthrough test though. Update : they haven't been authorized yet and I still have a little bit of testing to do, but initial tests seems promising.

Yes it will be laid out identically to MTSLRCM though I have considered making an android version of HoloPatcher, but as all of the games files are not located in the folder and are instead inside of the .obb file itself, there is little point in doing so because other mods that might use it would require updating specifically for mobile use regardless. So I will stick to the layout MTSLRCM uses for the time being, the files for it are all already prepared but I haven't determined how to solve the issues with the larger levels yet. There is also an issue with the fog in the radiated levels where distant objects flicker in and out of view, I tried applying the fog fix made by timurd2003 but that caused the level to crash as well. https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1462-m4-78-fog-fix/ So there's still a fair amount of work to do. At the same time I am working on my own project so I don't have an ETA for it yet.

You're welcome, like I said I needed to get this done at some point anyway because I am aiming for my own project to work across all platforms/versions of the game and to be a relatively quick / easy install without some laborious guide to show users how to get everything set up. Though it's unrelated, I have also prepared a version of the Coruscant Jedi Temple mod by deathdisco for the Mobile and Xbox versions of the game. As far as I can tell everything works for this, I only gave it a quick test by loading into all three levels but I don't see any cause for concern and will test it thoroughly at some point as well. The issue with M478's larger levels might take a while for me to solve as I am trying to determine the best approach rather than trying a bunch of different things or rushing it. 804DRO, the level with the long hallway like areas that are open to the sky, it seems, is too large and I need to figure out a way to cut it down. My current thoughts are Make different versions of the level and trim any unnecessary geometry, which is rather convoluted and seems like overkill. or Check the visibility files to ensure that any parts of the map that can be hidden, are hidden. Though as I don't do much modelling, I might have to reach out for some help on that one. We will have to wait and see for the time being. EDIT : Further testing has revealed that the larger level does actually load in, it just has a problem somewhere which is likely to be too many assets such as placeables or characters. Loading up an empty version of the level confirms that it is not the level geometry causing issues. More screenshots. Thor110

As a heads up, I am currently working on a Mobile version of M478EP and have been given the go-ahead by zbyl2 to upload it once it is in working order. However, there is still a lot of testing to do and some crashing issues to overcome with the larger levels. But rest assured, your request is being worked on. It's just currently locked behind a few problematic issues for the time being. It will be free and out in the open as soon as I can work out a simple way to resolve them though. Thor110
