First, thank you for your interest over the mod N-DreW! I explained it a bit but im gonna try to be clearer here. As an end user myself, the process of installing thousand separate mods is very tedious, and only the most persevering players out there do it. It also requires each time to have a compatibility patch for the hundreds of mods out there, which make it even more tedious (also regarding the installing order). As i said, what it will lack in modularity (having things separated into hundred pieces), it will gain in install ease. Also, as i said, this is only "my take" on what i think is good, which is very subjective. Not saying that it inherently "is" good. Having everything into a single pack ensures that my vision about the game design and the mod philosophy is cohesive from start to finish. I totally understand that people may disagree on a lot of changes brought by my mod, but once again, this is only "my take" on this. That being said... I said i'd be hopefully releasing my content as modder's ressource, and my mod will be entirely free to edit. So if anyone out there do want to separate the content into smaller pieces, especially regarding the quality of life content (such as model repairs), they will be free to do so and i don't see any problem with this. Honestly this project is already so big that separating everything into little chunk would take me twice the time, and i'd like to hopefully finish this before the next century 😅 This is a disclaimer. I know there are K2 lovers out there. I'm not one of them, and i do not care that much about K2's lore and story to be honest. I am just being completely transparent about it, so hopefully people out here won't come to me and say : "Hey! This is not lore accurate with K2!" because honestly, i do not bother that much So specifically about force powers and feats: Once again, its only my take and my vision on all of this. I am trying to improve Kotor's sandbox as best as i can, and as i said i'm gathering most of the possible feats and force powers that can be done and implemented into K1 (which include K2 force powers and community's ideas). I am not trying to appeal or adapt to most people out there (and it would be an error to do so), because anyone has its takes and ideas. I cannot appeal to everyone, i cannot fit into everyone's expectation. People also have to realize this, and that its only an amateur work, something i am first doing for myself and not for the others. But once again, if someone wants to extract portion of my mods to release smaller or edited portion of it, they are free to do so Also, while we are on force powers and feats... Enemies are able to use them. So can you imagine? I'd have to edit separately EVERY npc sheet from the game to implement the feats? Then do the same for force powers? Items? I have neither the courage, nor the time. I am a single dude out there, an amateur afterall. I get what you mean tho and at the moment regarding my workflow, my work is separated to help me fix or add the things i need to work on (so, i've got the companions in a folder, the feats and force powers in another one, the items, the planet content...). As i said, i'd love to share this work and to have proper feedback, hence why i'll be releasing alpha/beta builds down the line with a proper discord server to gather feedback. Unfortunately, if something does not appeal to someone, then they can install something else. As i said, i'm not here to appeal to most people, or make my work fit their expectations. I am doing this project for myself first But as i said, if someone wants to separate the work into smaller piece, they can. So this is pretty simple. In K1, it is not possible to create new spellcaster classes because custom spellcaster classes do not gain any force power points (hence why the jedi companions will keep their default classes), BUT we can definitely add new non jedi classes. All of this process is done editing the Classes.2da file most notably, but there are definitely some limitations. I can edit freely: The amount of HP per level, the attack bonus table/saving throwtable (because, it uses a separate .2da file that basically specify how much attack bonus you get at a specified level) and the amount of skill points gained, if you get or not the effects from leveling up at each level (feats, skills...). There is a limitation regarding: Classes defense bonus, feat table, skill table, spellgain table and featgain, as there is a limitation in the number of classes (8 max). So with all of this in mind, we can already make pretty nice variations over the base classes. For instance, my new "Pilot" class for Carth uses everything from soldier, but he gets an additionnal skill point per level and has access to the scout skills. My new "Mandalorian" class for Canderous make him gain extra attack bonus per level, so instead of 1 per level (20 max), he now gets 1.25 attack per level (25 max). Aside from this, i've performed some unique feats to distinguish them even more. These new feats are directly tied to the companions character sheet, so it does not affect anyone else in game. Most of the time, the effects are performed editing the hide item. So, for instance, Carth now has a +2 attack bonus against dark sided characters, Canderous is immuned to fear, Juhani now has +10 Awareness and is immuned to sneak attacks instead of the force camouflage, Jolee gets an extra force point regeneration... Some other feats are performed editing various scripts. The heartbeat has been edited to provide a "Wookie rage" feat for big Z. When he falls below 25% vp, he is now immuned to fear and get attack bonus, strength bonus, while it depletes its defense, reflex and will. Having unique class and feats for each companion allows now to have specific item for each of them. So, for instance, the flight armor suits from K2 will hopefully be restricted to Carth! Some new implants will be restricted to Canderous! And so so much more... I'm linking some screenshots down below for a very small showcase, tho i'd like to separate this topic's displays into separate pieces. Everything is subject to change of course! New appearances include A LOT of K2's assets. So you can see some heavy sith soldiers (i've recently done the female variant thanks to your assets), sith honor guards for the Leviathan bridge, the (controversial!) death troopers, new child chromas/clothes, A LOT of commoner clothes variants that you can find here on deadlystream, some variants for jedi outfits (and one general robe retexture from Insidious mod), gamorrean variants (but they need to be edited), gran reskin that i released aswell, some twilek chromas, some rescaled creatures like the kinrath hive and the ritual beast terantatek, protocol droid variants, war droid variants (to dinstinguish MK1, 2, 3...) ... Anyway. This is but a taste of what's to come! At the moment only AI, but i definitely wish to hire some voice actors! I am writing the dialogs on the top of my head while im working on it, which does not make the process very easy to work with people. I tried to contact the mod uploader but i didnt have answer yet. But yep of course, if something reach the quality bar to be introduced into some mod, i'm very opened to sharing the ressources. So i've shared a bit about the appearances, i'll be sharing about the items in due time. I'd like this topic to be structured and ordered. Once i'll be ready to share more about it, i'll do it So this is not a secret at all, if anyone get inspired by the ideas its ok for me. Taris Back Alley: As you may know, there is an elevator access in lower city apartments. In vanilla, it leads nowhere and K1R used this to access the Swoop platform. I figured this elevator would be a good access to a module about Black Market, drug dealing and illegal street/free fights. To access this module, you'd need a proper "password" of some sort. There'd definitely be a Chandrafan linked to this in the cantina. This would act as an inverted mirror of the upper town, especially regarding the non lethal fights from the upper city cantina. A module filled with aliens that dislike humans, where you'd be able to get some spice (from the vulkar spice lab!), some exclusive shop with poison weapons, disruptors or other illegal stuff, and you could also participate into street fighting. Each fight would have its specific rules (so, maybe you're fighting bare knuckle, another time you face 2 or 3 opponents...) and one of the idea would be that the people watching the fight could randomly throw items such as weapons in the middle to spice things up. You could start a quest about smuggling (much like the quest in TSL on Telos) and one idea i had was to make use of the sith fighters near the sith base, the shady guy could have some kind of sith contact that could get past the sith blockade, so you'd need to put a package into one of the sith fighters. The idea is to make use of unused areas, create new stories and interactions, new content and make the lower city way more believable as a place. Black Vulkar Spice Lab: Here my aim would be very much like K1R, restore this portion to extend the vulkar base. Nothing more, nothing less. I'd like to revise the model from the spice room to make it feel like a proper drug lab! One thing i thought about is maybe depending on what you do here, it has an impact on drug dealing once you reach other planets such as Tatooine. Jedi Enclave Sublevel: The jedi enclave on Dantooine feels ultra small and claustrophobic. This is supposed to be an academy, yet the area lacks life and space. There is no padawan, you don't even see the republic... Having a republic ambassy can lead to pretty nice interactions. One major thing i'd like to do with my mod, is to have a kind of raising stake toward the end of the game, where your choices impact the star forge section (just like in Mass Effect or DAO). So some concepts would be maybe to turn some material to the republic (grenades, weapons, medpacks... Just like in DAO), to the jedis (sith or jedi artifacts?), have a proper plot regarding the kolto on manaan (very much like brents envisaged it), the library could provide informations about the kinrath and kath hounds (a new way to introduce informations to players, as i'll be revising how they work and their behaviours), there could be Juhani's master in the medical area aswell, the oil bath could serve as a fix for the permanent effects bug (while also providing a small temporary buff to reflex maybe), i'd love to bring M4-78 as a playabe planet aswell, and the galaxy map in the sublevel could be a good place for this... Just like obi wan with kamino, some planet that should be there but that is not in any archive. The overall idea is to make Dantooine more believable as a place, and have more impact on the player once this planet is completely lost. One thing i envisaged was to have a character fleeing to Manaan, and maybe you could witness Dantooine's destruction as a flashback by playing it. Once again, mostly concepts but nothing concrete done. Kashyyk's shadowland cut module: The wookie society is not really that much defined in K1. Maybe this could be a good "hunting" ground for young wookies, with some K2 beasts. It could also be entirely used for the ritual beast encounter and make it something more memorable. Maybe there could be a crystal somewhere? Here i do not have very precise ideas in mind. Dantooine crystal cave: Firstly, using the extended crystal cave from K2 allow to port the vanilla crystal cave from K1 to korriban. As i want to revise crystals aswell, it makes a new place to loot them while still retaining some kind of variety. The mandalorians on the planet could also dig this place to smuggle some crystals? Who knows! Having a crystal cave on Korriban would also allow to have some laigreks in there, to act as a mirror to Dantooine's crystal cave, with some fire dealing creatures! Tatooine's cut temple: Here i'd love to have more lore about the builders and stuff. Why not having a section with some crystals aswell? Not very precise ideas there aswell, but the star map would definitely be in there. Ye i getya. The line can be crossed easily when adding new content and interactions. Once again, it's only my take on all of this, i cannot make a separate install for every interaction, new appearance and so on if i want to finish this project before the next century. But ye, if someone wants to dissect this mod, they are free to do it once again. It'll definitely be easier to cut the mod once it'll be done, than cutting everything into very small parts from the start. If you want to use my bardroid model, texture, voicelines, dialogs and git edition for cameras, you can I didnt know about this, but atm gonna be honest i have so much to do already on Taris that its not in my plan at all. So i'd say "maybe"? But clearly not working on something like this at the moment Thanks for the kind words! I hope i properly answered your questions/concerns

Hello everybody! It's been a while since i posted anything on the forum. I decided to officially start the topic for this big work in progress project, doing something way more structured than my original topic that you can see here : Zobizob's playground. The original topic was going in every direction and was a literal mess, but now i have got a proper aim and goal. You can find the informations within the spoilers down below, have a nice read! Who am I? Why this project? What is the "Kotor Expansion Pack"? The current state and future of this project The very first small showcase from this project, shaping the environments The credit list Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for more

Hi there! I've seen this topic quite recently, and i got in touch with Brents as i was working myself on the Jedi Enclave module for K1. I'll be sharing my ressources for my own mod to Brents Im not saying everything displayed here will make its way through, and i'm not making any promises instead of the author himself. Just saying i'm willing to give a hand, we did not settle on anything concrete yet and i wanted to showcase a bit of my own work without opening another thread. As there is a placeable limit in K1, everything you see in the video i'm linking is added into the module models themselves. I reused assets from K2 (Khoonda assets, Peragus kolto tank, Placeables...). The extracted placeables are not lightmapped yet, and i was wondering if it would cause troubles in the long run? There is also the sunlight from K1 Dantooine appearing in the main hall/garden.

Fantastic Sorry i did not playtest it atm... Hopefully in the following weeks :x

Ty for the extra insights. I think Thor told me about this already, but as it was not working for me in game i tried black magic to try fixing this. I don't know what goes wrong, I tried other versions of mdledit as Thor suggested, and extracting files with other software than holocron (in this case, Kotor Tool) but it didnt work either. One thing i can do is extend m13aa_01a's walkmesh to go into that new room, but as you said each room can have a specific ambient sound. Here it would take the exterior ambient sound, which is not ideal. I am going to try all the process using only KotorMax i guess.

Hi there! I am trying to create new rooms in K1 jedi enclave. I reached Thor110 about this, as he has done it before, and he had really good insights about this. However there is something going wrong in the finalizing steps for this. So here is how i am trying to do it, with detailed screenshots: - First I create my new room model with unique names for every parts/objects... (here, I mirrored a room, in this case i mirrored m13aa_06a). - Then i extract every model files, layout, .vis and walkmeshes into a single folder. - Then i check in blender the correct coordinates for my new room in the layout, i edit my new room walkmesh to be perfectly aligned with the adjacent room (in this case, m13aa_01a). To do this i select the vertices from my new room m13aa_07a, then i select the vertices i want it to be aligned with from m13aa_01a, and i make the vertices from m13aa_07a jump into the exact position from the adjacent m13aa_01a ones. - Then i add the new room to the .lyt and the .vis using Notepad++. - Then i open Gmax/Kotormax to check the edges from the walkmeshes where my 2 rooms meet each other. - Then i convert my 2 model files (m13aa_01a, and my new room m13aa_07a) into ascii using mdledit, with the walkmeshes/lyt/vis files in the same folder to edit the roomlinks with notepad++. - Then i convert the 2 model files back into binary. - Finally i drop all the needed files into override (.lyt, .vis, the new model and .wok files). And after all of this is done, it should work, but it does not. I also edited the .are rooms to add my new one, but it does not work either. To make sure my room links were accurately taken into account, i converted back my edited models into ascii, and i noticed the edited model from the preexisting room in the game did not take into account my new roomlinks that i added using notepad++, everytime i convert it back to binary my new roomlink disappear, so there is something wrong here i guess. Ty for any help, it'd be appreciated.

View File Droid models animation fix Description: As i am working on porting some assets from the second game to the first one, i have noticed numerous things with the droid models from both games: - In K2 TSL, some droids didnt have any animations when you were hitting them in melee with swords. That's why they are completely frozen, this is specifically obvious when you are playing the Peragus sections with the mining droids. - In both games, some animations were only used once, where it should be use twice to happend everytime. This is the case with the War droid from K1 for instance, that would freeze 50% of the time when hit in melee with a sword. - In K1, T3-M4 does not have any animation for melee, but in K2 he does. - In K2 TSL, the beta model for the large mining droids was very broken, with animations not having the proper name and some missing animations aswell. - In K2 TSL, some models didnt have the footstep sounds while performing the dodge animation. I did my best to fix all of this, re-using and tweaking some animations where it was needed. Use this mod, either to fix the animations you need, or as a modder's ressource to introduce the droids as you see fit. Detailed content: K1 ONLY * T3 has a melee animation. BOTH GAMES * The War Droid is animated everytime you successfully hit it in melee. * The construction boss droid is now animated when you both miss and hit it in melee. It now has footsteps sounds when dodging. * The small and large vanilla mining droids from Peragus are animated when you both hit and miss them in melee. The hit animation from the small mining droid is brand new, adapted from the head turn left. * The small and large beta mining droids that are not used anywhere in the game to my knowledge are animated when you both hit and miss them in melee. The large droid now is animated correctly when outside of combat. He will now be animated 100% of the time when he fights in melee. The melee animation from the large droid has been tweaked to be more impactful and impressive. The large droid now has footstep sounds when dodging. * The tank droid will now be animated when both hitting and missing him in melee. The soundstep has been slightly adjusted when it dodges. Disclaimer : It seems there is a problem with the large cut droid shadows (reported by N-DreW25). I'll see about fixing this. The little fix for the War Droid from K1 has been performed on the model from the K1 community patch. The base model i used is not my work, and i simply added the missing row when hit in melee. Do not re-use this asset for your own work without giving proper credit to the K1CP team. Also i have converted my work from K1 to K2 instead of the opposite, so if there's anything wrong with K2 droids tell me. With the few playtests i did everything seemed fine tho. Installation : Drop the desired .mdl and .mdx files to override and you're ready to go. Credit: K1CP team for the base war droid model fixes. Permissions: Feel free to use my work, just a simple credit. Do not use the war droid asset for your own work without giving proper credit to the K1CP team.

The Nikto creatures do not use the textures from the swoop riders, they are separate Same for the swoop bike textures, they are separate from the ones from the placeables. "LTS" tag refers to Taris textures, which are part of the model geometry. The riders are from the level geometry and have nothing to do with creatures or appearance.2da. Same for the bikes, they have nothing to do with placeable.2da. It'd be great to have the K2 swoop displayed, but i don't know how to create lightmaps for models that do not have them by default. That's why I used the swoop bike from the Ebon Hawk there. I didnt play K2 so much, if you happend to know if there is a place in TSL where the swoop bike is displayed, i can reuse the model and the lightmap. Otherwise, I can't introduce it atm, my skills are still kinda limited ^^

So the bikers are not creatures, but models within the level geometry. They do not use at all a row in appearance.2da. That's why they use a different model from niktos and different texture names I edited this using Blender. No problem! It's a part of the huge Kotor Expansion Pack i'm working on right now, i'm trying to release some of this stuff as standalone. Ty for your feedback aswell, especially regarding the music!

Hello there Salk! 1) So the 2 doors on each opposite side hide the blackness or some akward background from the level. I felt it was more natural like this. The middle door is not that necessary, but once again i felt it was more natural and it also hides a bit of the akward geometry. Maybe the doors should be optional. 2) Nice catch about the MusicNight row. I am working on a module that use the swoop platform geometry, so I surely edited this without noticing! I am going to upload a file with the fixed music, because it absolutely changes the mood for this part of the game. Ty for bringing attention to this. 3) Indeed. For swoop bikers, i noticed they use the same uv/low texture from the Niktos in game, i simply used upscaled textures for Niktos as a replacement. Their model is still very low poly, but there are some welcome extra details from the textures (especially the faces). The upscaled textures are exclusive to the nikto bikers and won't affect the other Nikto creatures. Nice feedback here, so i'm fixing the music and providing an optional patch for the doors!

View File Gran reskin from K1 Gran reskin from K1 =============== By ZobiZob ------------------ Description A small mod that edits the Gran TSL texture to make it look like the Gran from K1. K1 model was very low poly, i figured i would try to mimic it using the higher quality model from TSL. Only 2 things are missing: The bracelets and the arm stripes. Installation and use You can have different uses for this file: - Drop it to K2 TSL override to replace the Gran appearance - Delete N_Gran.tpc from K1 override and drop my files instead after installing K1CP to replace TSL skin with mine - Use it as a modder ressource to make a new gran appearance somewhere You have 2 options, 1 is a shirt completely orange, the other one has grey "bracelets" stuff. There is a .jpg to preview. Known Bugs and Incompatibilities Everything should be fine. Permissions You are free to incorporate this into any of your work without asking, just credit me and shiningredHD for the upscaled textures.

View File [K1] K2 swoops to K1 Swoops from K2 to K1 =============== By ZobiZob ------------------ Description A small mod that changes your swoop model while racing. Either you keep the vanilla model, and it only adds a shield effect when you take damage (extracted from K2), or you can completely replace the vanilla K1 model with the one from K2 and all its animations. You have the choice between the 3 skins that there are in TSL (Classic, black, beige). There is a folder with the screenshots to see the K2 model and the different skins. Installation 1) Use Holopatcher.exe and choose one of the installation option. If you are not satisfied, you can restart the launcher and chose another option. Known Bugs and Incompatibilities Everything should be fine as long as you do not replace the model file from the swoop with something else of course. The model on the ebon hawk will still be the vanilla one. Permissions You are free to incorporate this into any of your work without asking, just credit me.

View File [K1] Swoop platform model repairs Swoop platform models repairs =============== By ZobiZob ------------------ Description There are notoriously some problems with most of the levels geometry, models and textures. They are not ultra noticeable, but once you see it, you can't unsee it. As i am working on a custom module using the swoop platform geometry, i decided to fix some of these problems, and also add numerous details like venting effects, animated light and distant swoop riders with upscaled textures for their bikes + different colors for riders. The full pack also displays your swoop in the module. Fixed music changes from 1.5 with version 1.6. Installation 3 options, either the full pack with the swoop you use during the race displayed, no swoop bike displayed and also an option without the doors. 1) Use the holopatcher.exe included and you're ready to go. If you're not satisfied with an option or the other, you can always come back and reinstall the desired option. Known Bugs and Incompatibilities Everything should be fine. If you replace the m03af.git file after installing the doors that i added in the distance will disappear. The upscaled textures only affect the swoop bikers and won't change the textures for Niktos/swoopgang creatures.

Hum this is the one you introduced with the diversified jedis on star forge right?
