You should be fine to replace it with the current version. At some point I optimized the VIS to reflect how, with the way the airlock doors are set up, it isn't possible to see the main hangar (myav_hgra) from the station main corridor (M50aa_01a) or vice versa. Probably doesn't make a noticeable performance difference on modern computers, but I figured I might as well.

View File TSL Expanded Ending Knights of the Old Republic 2 infamously has a rather abrupt ending: The player fights the final boss, there is some final dialog with said boss, and the game ends. The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) restores a couple of short scenes which provide some closure, but it arguably still feels like there are some gaps. This mod attempts to make the ending a bit more complete with the following changes: A restored dialog option allows the player to choose to stay on Malachor and train other Force users. After the final dialog, the player contacts Bao-Dur's remote and chooses whether or not to destroy Malachor, which may be chosen regardless of player alignment. (If G0-T0 succeeded in disabling the remote, this conversation will not occur, and the player cannot choose to destroy Malachor.) If the player decides to destroy Malachor, all subsequent dialog takes place on the Ebon Hawk. If Malachor is not destroyed, the remaining party members rejoin the player in the Trayus Core. The player has a short conversation with T3-M4 and reiterates what they intend to do next. Atton, Visas, and/or the Handmaiden express their desire to accompany the player, as in the scenes previously restored by TSLRCM. The Visas/Handmaiden conversation is now available even if Malachor is destroyed, as long as the player freed the party from the academy's prison. Atton's dialogs will now only occur if the player has medium to high influence with him, loosely inspired by the "Unoffical TSLRCM Tweak Pack" by Pavijan357 (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/296-unofficial-tslrcm-tweak-pack/). Note that since these scenes all refer to the player leaving, they will not occur if the player decides to stay on Malachor. Thank you for downloading, and I hope you enjoy this mod! ------------------------------------------------------------------- ASPYR (STEAM/GOG) COMPATIBILITY NOTES When using this mod with the Aspyr version of the game from Steam or GOG, some of the background sound effects will be almost inaudible, making the destruction of Malachor feel strangely quiet. This seems to be due to a “feature” added by Aspyr which reduces the volume of the music (and, apparently, some sound effects) during cutscenes. I strongly recommend using the 3C-FD patcher by Jiiprah (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2734-fog-fix-more-3c-fd-patcher/), which returns the volume to its pre-Aspyr behavior and also fixes some graphical issues. I have not tested this mod with the achievements system, and it is possible that it might interfere with achievements related to the ending of the game. Use at your own risk. ------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION Run "INSTALL.exe" and follow the prompts. When asked, select the "MAIN INSTALL" option which matches your display's aspect ratio, 4:3 or 16:9. It is normal to see a warning that modulesave.2da already exists and has been skipped. 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 If you are using an aspect ratio other than 4:3 or 16:9, try the 16:9 option. The camera differences between the two versions are fairly minor, so ultimately you may use whichever one looks better to you. To switch between the two versions after the mod has already been installed, run "INSTALL.exe" and select "Convert to 16:9" or "Convert to 4:3". For best results, I recommend using a saved game from before arriving on Malachor. However, using a save from after reaching Malachor will only result in a few missing sound effects, and the majority of the mod will still work. ------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSPARENT COCKPIT WINDOWS Options are available to make the Ebon Hawk's cockpit visible through the front window during the new ending sequence, as in my mod "Transparent Cockpit Windows for TSL" (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2355-transparent-cockpit-windows-for-tsl/). To use them, run "INSTALL.exe" again after the main installation is complete, and select one of the following options: "OPTION - Transparent Cockpit Windows, Enhanced Reflections" - Adds an area-specific reflection to the Ebon Hawk's exterior. Not recommended if you use any mods that reskin/upscale the Ebon Hawk exterior. "OPTION - Transparent Cockpit Windows, Reskin Friendly" - More readily compatibility with reskins of the Ebon Hawk exterior. Does not include the new reflection. "Transparent Cockpit Windows" does not need to be installed to use these options. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 compatible with the KotOR 2 Community Patch (K2CP) (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1280-kotor-2-community-patch/). For best results, install this mod after TSLRCM, K2CP, and any other mods which make significant changes to the Trayus Core module. This mod is incompatible with other mods which edit the ending sequence, including "Unofficial TSLRCM Tweak Pack" component 4 ("Atton's Ending Dialogue") by Pavijan357 (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/296-unofficial-tslrcm-tweak-pack/). It is also incompatible with any other mods which edit the Trayus Core area layout. ------------------------------------------------------------------- CREDITS KotorBlender by seedhartha MDLedit by bead-v tpcview and tga2tpc by ndix UR NWNSSCOMP by Torlack and tk102 K-GFF by tk102 DLGEditor by tk102 TSL Patcher by stoffe and Fair Strides ERFEdit by stoffe and Fair Strides Kotor Tool by Fred Tetra Holocron Toolset by Cortisol and th3w1zard1 SithCodec by JCarter426 2DA Editor by VarsityPuppet AniCam by JdNoa Lipsynch Editor by JdNoa TSL Loadscreen Template by JCarter426 Edited vanilla and TSLRCM scripts are based on the K2CP team's repository of unaltered, decompiled vanilla scripts, which may be found at https://github.com/KOTORCommunityPatches/Vanilla_KOTOR_Script_Source. Thank you to the TSLRCM team for doing so much to expand and complete the original game and for restoring the original concluding scenes. The final scenes with Atton on Malachor still follow their staging, as I couldn't think of much I could do to improve upon them. Thank you to Pavijan357 for pointing out in his "Unofficial TSLRCM Tweak Pack" that Atton's ending dialog makes less sense if the player has low influence with him. The modified Ebon Hawk room models incorporate fixes developed by PapaZinos. Thank you to him for allowing me to use his fixes in my work. This mod includes material ported from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic by Bioware. ------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION HISTORY 1.0 - Initial Release ------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER AND PERMISSIONS This modification is provided as-is and is not supported by Disney, Lucasarts, or Obsidian.
