Peragus Medical Bay Enhancement
This mod makes some improvements to the Peragus medical bay and the opening cutscene where the player wakes up:
- The player now wears a breathing mask inside the kolto tank, similar to the dead miners in the other tanks.
- The hose on the breathing mask has been replaced with a higher polygon version. It also now runs behind the user's neck
(primarily so that it works with the player's "waking up" animations).
- The kolto tank bubbles have been adjusted slightly based on the parameters for the bubbles on the diving suit in KotOR 1.
- A water column mesh has been added inside each kolto tank. The water level in the player's tank drops as the player slumps down in
the opening cutscene, as described in developer notes in the original DLG. After the opening cutscene, the kolto tank
remains empty with no fluid.
- The dead miners have been replaced with placeable models which bob up and down slightly in the water and use higher-resolution head
textures ported from KotOR 1. Upscaled textures, courtesy of Sith Holocron, are also available as an option for the miner heads and
the vanilla-style uniform.
- The leftmost miner, which was originally identical to one of the others, has been replaced with a new female miner based on a
ported KotOR 1 player head and DarthParametric's "Female Czerka Officer's Uniform" modder's resource.
- A few clothing options are available for the dead miners:
a) Vanilla-Style Uniforms: The same uniforms which they wear in vanilla, which are slightly different than the ones later worn by the
player and the miners in the holologs
b) Player-Style Uniforms: Uniforms based on the combat suit model, which match the ones worn by the player and shown in the holologs
c) Underwear: Underwear similar to the wounded soldiers on Taris in KotOR 1
d) Kainzorus Prime's Mining Gear: Mining gear matching "Peragus Mining Gear" by Kainzorus Prime
(https://deadlystream.com/files/file/401-peragus-mining-gear/). Requires "Peragus Mining Gear" to be installed.
- Also available are alternative head and underwear textures with burned skin, based on textures by DarthParametric. Note that if you
use them with options (a), (b), or (d), only the heads will be burned, and the uniforms will remain undamaged.
If you would also like the miners in the holologs to wear the type (a) uniform, you may be interested in the mod "Beta Peragus Miner Pack" by N-DReW25 (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2018-beta-peragus-miner-pack/)
Thank you for downloading, and I hope you enjoy this mod!

INSTALLATION
Run "INSTALL.exe" and follow the prompts. When asked, select your preferred option for the dead miners' clothing. If you are using the option for Kainzorus Prime's "Peragus Mining Gear", you must install that mod first. It is normal to see warnings that 101per.mod and placeables.2da already exist and have been skipped.
To use the burned skin textures, copy the files from the folder "OPTION - Burned Skin Textures" into your game's Override folder after the main installation is complete. To use the upscaled head and uniform textures, copy the files from "OPTION - Upscaled Textures" into Override. Upscaled versions of the burned heads are in "OPTION - Burned Skin Textures\Upscaled".
This mod requires a new playthrough and is not compatible with existing saves. If you are using The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) from the Steam Workshop, see this guide for how to combine installer-based mods with the Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=488641307
-------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY
This mod requires The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/578-tsl-restored-content-mod/). It has not been tested without TSLRCM installed. It is also known to be compatible with the following mods:
- The KotOR 2 Community Patch (K2CP) (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1280-kotor-2-community-patch/)
- Peragus Tweak by VarsityPuppet (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/8-peragus-tweak/)

- Peragus Mining Gear by Kainzorus Prime (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/401-peragus-mining-gear/)
This mod is compatible with texture-only reskin mods. It is incompatible with any other mods which edit 101per2a.mdl/mdx or use mask/helmet variation 43. For best results, install this mod after any of the mods listed above and any other mods which make significant changes to Peragus.

The vanilla-style female miner uniform is based on the "Female Czerka Officer's Uniform" modder's resource by DarthParametric (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1955-female-czerka-officers-uniform-modders-resource/). It is used here in accordance with the permissions stated on its download page.
Thank you to DarthParametric for suggesting that the moving water column could be made with a placeable, which sidestepped some visibility issues I was having with moving emitters in the area model. Thank you also to him for suggesting that I use his burned head/underwear textures and for providing his original Photoshop files as a resource.
Thank you to Dark Hope and DarthParametric for identifying that KotOR 1's kolto tank bubbles look better with the settings from the diving suit bubbles, which prompted me to do the same here. (See https://deadlystream.com/topic/10826-dark-hope-wip/page/4/)
Thank you to Sith Holocron for providing the upscaled textures for the miner heads and vanilla uniform.
Thanks to N-DReW25 for pointing out in his "Beta Peragus Miner Pack" mod that the original Peragus uniform was based on the Czerka uniform and for demonstrating that DarthParametric's female Czerka uniform resource could be handily used for the same purpose. Thank you also for suggesting that I create an option for Kainzorus Prime's "Peragus Mining Gear" mod and that I offer both the original and upscaled versions of the textures as options.
This mod includes material ported from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic by Bioware.

To second what @StellarExile said, I've also done it where I'll update the main download file so that new downloads are covered, but I'll also add a smaller "hotfix" download option specifically for anyone with a preexisting installation. Same idea, but it might be slightly easier for people to find if they don't scroll far enough into the comments to see the fix. (I think I originally saw K1CP use this method to publish important patches.)
That’s an interesting idea. Personally, I think it would feel a little out of place because the other planets have active spaceports where Xor can blend in with the crowd, whereas Yavin Station is virtually empty and presumably harder for Xor to land unnoticed and sneak up on the party. But I suppose the Trandoshans already manage to set up their own ambush, so perhaps there is some precedent.
Fantastic, great to hear that it's all working now. That sequence looks pretty cool with the high-quality hyperspace tunnel mixed in there. @Timbo, since it looks like some of your scripts overlap with K1CP, you may wish to consider also putting together a K1CP-compatible version of your mod. The source code for K1CP can be found here: https://github.com/KOTORCommunityPatches/K1_Community_Patch
Thank you very much, I'm glad you found it worthy of endorsing! Sure, I'll add in those options when I get a chance. EDIT: Well, it took me a few months, but both of these options are now available with version 1.3.
