View File Alternate Coruscant Skybox [Day Time] Alternate Coruscant Skybox [Day Time] A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords Author: Sith Holocron DESCRIPTION: I was recently asked by someone about another Coruscant skybox that I recently made for my upscale compilation for The Jedi Masters mod and whether they could use it for their mod. I just released the mod and I’d like for that mod to have a chance to find its audience before being picked over for parts so I made them a compromise: how about if I made you a new Coruscant skybox? This is the result of that and I now offer it to you! These skyboxes are for the Coruscant module that has the Jedi Council Chamber. It will not cover the additional Coruscant areas that appears in either Trex’s “The Jedi Masters” mod or Deathdisco’s “Jedi Temple” mod. INSTALLATION: Place all of the TGA files into your Override folder. UNINSTALL: Remove those files from your Override. PERMISSIONS: I am giving my permission to use any part of this mod to anyone as long as I am credited as the original author. THIS MOD IS NOT SUPPORTED BY LUCASARTS OR BIOWARE.

View File Heyorange's Sith Uniform Reformation [Revised] Heyorange's Sith Uniform Reformation (Revised) A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Original Author: Heyorange (aka Pataschka) Upscales and Tweaks by Sith Holocron (with assistance) Note from Sith Holocron: You may be familiar with HeyOrange’s Sith Uniform Reformation mod. This a revised version of that mod. This mod aims to not have the same method of dropping a swath of UTC files in your Override which makes for compatibility nightmares. The intention is for this mod to handle this integration through module injection. DESCRIPTION: Regarding the textures: This mod upscales the original mod’s textures to 4 times their original size. After that was done, I’ve tweaked the individual textures to add (or readd) detail that was either missing or misinterpreted by the upscaling AI. This includes adding detail where applicable such as: · New gold or silver braids by the zippers and the sleeves on certain officer uniforms · New rank bars on the chest, sleeve and pauldrons · New PIPs and rank symbols for those rank bars · New replacement pockets for both the male and female blouses. Some with brand new code cylinders in those pockets, some without. (Some of the original textures had empty pockets and I’ve kept those empty as HeyOrange did) · Readded fresh versions of the Regiment Insignia on the pauldrons and blouse pockets · New collar devices to replace the old ones · Clean up on some of the trouser stripes that were muddled during the AI upscale · New buttons to replace the drawn-on ones on ammo pouches · New eyes for the Sith Officers male and female heads · New bandage (by Malkior) for Major Hurka texture The mod includes four install options labeled as: 1. Basic Installation 2. KOTOR Community Patch-Compatible Installation 3. Extra: Sith Students + Czerka on Korriban Fix 4. Extra: KOTOR 1 Restoration Fix Option #1 is the base install, which contains all of the textures included in the original mod by HeyOrange with my upscales and edits, in addition to edits to N_SithComF02, N_SithComF03, N_SithComM02 and N_SithComM03, which are variants of Sith enlisted textures which heyorange’s original mod did not edit. This version also removes some edits heyorange made to Sith stats, gear and loot, reverting them to vanilla. Option #2 is a Community Patch-compatible version of the same above install. Option #3 is an add-on which includes a reskin of the standard uniform for Sith students on Korriban which also fixes Czerka workers on Korriban so they wear correct uniforms. Do not choose this option if you are using another mod which makes similar changes, such as Korriban: Back in Black! Option #4 is an add-on for the KOTOR 1 Restoration (or other mods that restore Major Hurka) providing her with a unique uniform. INSTALLATION: If intending to use the Community Patch-compatible mod version, please ensure the K1CP is installed first before proceeding with this installation. Select whichever of the two base installs fit your needs (Option #1, or option #2 for K1CP compatibility), run the installer and select the chosen option and hit install. Point the installer to your game’s main directory (where the executable is located) and you’re done! If you wish to use option #3 or option #4, you will need to re-run the installer and select those options after applying the main install. The rest of the install process is the same. CREDITS: To Snigaroo: For suggesting this project in the first place and for consistent feedback throughout the project, as well as writing parts of this readme. To JCarter426: For both setting up the TSLPatcher install to make this mod possible. To Malkior: For the new bandages on the Major Hurka texture in the K1R folder. To Fair Strides: For consistent feedback throughout the project. To Effix: Effix did provide me with some work on textures pre-upscaling at the start of this project but I wound up not using his work. However, it seemed appropriate to thank them for their help. Thanks, Effix! The following is the read-me from the original mod excluding the installation instructions as this version of the mod will be handled differently in that aspect. FROM THE ORIGINAL MOD: Heyorange's Sith Uniform Reformation A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Author: Heyorange (aka Pataschka) Version: 1.0 Description: This mod is a bunch of reskins of the Sith officer uniforms. Different uniforms with different rank insignias were given to different officers throughout the game to give a bit more realistic look. Aside from that, the uniform of the Admiral Saul Karath was changed and a new reskin for Sith students was added. The Mod is divided into 3 parts: 1. Heyorange's Sith Uniform Reformation - the main part of the mod 2. Sith Students + Czerka on Korriban fix - reskin of the standard Sith uniforms for Korriban Sith students and fix for Czerka workers on Korriban to have correct uniforms 3. K1R fix - A reskin of the Sith uniform for the added wounded officer on the Leviathan by the K1R modification PERMISSIONS: I am giving my permission to use any part of this mod to anyone as long as I am credited as the original author THIS MOD IS NOT SUPPORTED BY LUCASARTS OR BIOWARE.

If anyone would like more background information about this release, please check out these blogs!

I recently made an upscale and minor tweak compilation to the most of the textures in Trex's The Jedi Master mod. (You can find that compilation here if you're looking.) On the bridge of the BEG's ship, there were (are are) many mysterious glyphs seen throughout the bridge itself and the rest of the level. I though I might go over the changes I made to the textures. Admittedly, part of this is so I can point out some detail work in this. But mostly, it's so I can explain my reasoning in some of the changes. But first, we have to take a look at the original versions of the artwork. I'm going to focus mainly on a floor texture here but these symbols do appear in other textures throughout the level. Original Floor Texture (Upscaled): Glyph 1: Triple Crescent Moon Glyph 2: Sigil of Lucifer Glyph 3: Brimstone Cross / Leviathan Cross Glyph 4: Valknut With the exception of Glyph 3, I have some issues with these symbols. For religious purposes, the usage of some of these symbols to represent an evil place may be considered possibly blasphemous. When when I set out to upscale textures for a mod, I don't go for offending anyone's real world religion. Not that I'm implying that was originally the case but everyone has access to more information now than when The Jedi Masters mod originally released. I thought I could switch out the symbols to something a bit more subtle and without any direct connection to Wicca, Satanism, and to followers of Norse religions (such as Ásatrú). My second issue with the symbols is that they don't appear to be made in the same art style as the others. They vary widely. So I decided to use an old book that had many ancient symbols and runes and try to rework it. I used Rudolf Koch's 1930 book "Book of Signs" as my model here. As well as it being an old book, many of the symbols were digitized into a font that I would be able to use for the project, Conveniently, the Brimstone Cross symbol was part of the font set, I was able to leave this symbol as part of the four that I'd be using. Revamped Floor Texture: Right away, we have a change from the floor texture Trex made by switching from 4 equal-sized strips to a grid of tiles (4 by 4). The original texture looks a bit like the symbols were decals. I attempted to make it look like the symbols were engraved into tiles. Now on to the changes. Glyph 1: Sulphur (version 1) Glyph 2: Disorder / Destruction Glyph 3 - as previously noted - hasn't been changed. Glyph 4: Sulphur (version 2) I must note that version 1 of the Sulphur symbol was not included in the font series for the Book of Signs. However, I cobbled a version together from other font's parts in the same series so it would appear it was part of the same series. That pretty much wraps it up for this blog entry. Thanks for coming along with me as I went down this rabbit hole.

I was looking through my Override folder today and I noticed one texture that no one seems to have done any work on - other than standard upscales. It's a door texture in the Ebon Hawk (TSL version) and I'd love to see what your possible take on it might be. The texture is named EBO_Dr01 and it looks like the attached picture. (Yes, that's an upscale.) Additionally, there is a bump map texture associated with this named EBO_Dr01b.

Sometimes in modding, things don't go as planned. Here are two examples of what might had been if circumstances were different. 1. The Lost BOSSR Skybox In a flashback scene that you as the player aren't just a witness but also an active participant, you fight the previous Mandalore on his capital ship. In the background through the bridge windows, there's a battle raging. On one side, there's the Republic Fleet. On the other side, the mighty Mandalorian fleet which as it currently stands in the game looks like this. This is my upscaled version from my mod but you get the idea. When I was putting that mod together, I had a different vision for the Mandalorian Fleet element of the skybox. One that didn't look so blocky. One that looked more photo realistic. Something like this. Some of the creators of those ships I was unable to be reach and I didn't feel like I could publish a mod without getting all of the permissions set up. So the fleet in this form had to go to the cutting floor. Here's what it would've looked like in action by the way. 2. The Lost TJM Skybox On the distant planet of Etti IV (a reskinned version of Nar Shaddaa), the player does . . . something? I'll be honest - I didn't play through this part of the game except to test textures for my uspcale mod for Trex's The Jedi Masters. Now in the game, there is a skybox. It's a strange one though as it's only one side of the box and it shows it on an angle. In the final version of the mod, I had to match the distance and the angle that Trex had taken to get his shot of the skybox to properly replicate it. (I did wind up making some distance adjustments anyway but you can see where I'm going with this.) However, this wasn't always the plan. You see, I had a faulty installation of TJM on my computer. If the game is correctly installed, there's a large duplication of the surrounding walls where the skybox should be on Nar Shaddaa. The skybox seen in the above picture is only there to fit in any areas where you can see through that area model duplication. But I didn't see that model duplication unfortunately. So I though I had a wide canvas to use. So I upscaled the vanilla Nar Shaddaa texture and added some brutalist architecture on top of it - and it looked like this. This skybox was in the mod so long that it actually made it into some of the WIP trailers I've made. Here's one of those WIP trailers that feature that discarded skybox - along with a crate with shipping labels that I'm apparently very fond of. But as you can't really see any of it with the model duplication in the way, I went with the original design.

View File KotOR III: The Jedi Masters Textural Reinterpretation Mod Created by: Sith Holocron (and others listed in the credits section) Game: Knights of the Old Republic 2 (using Trex’s “The Jedi Masters” mod) Version 1.0 Uploaded: 07 AUG 2025 Description: The Kotor III: The Jedi Masters Texture Reinterpretation mod was designed to upscale and/or enhance the many (oh so many) textures seen in the mod. For sake of my sanity, I’ll be abbreviating The Jedi Masters to TJM from here on. It is an extensive mod pack (as might be indicated by the size) but as seen listed below, it is not a complete overhaul. TJM uses textures from both KotOR1 and TSL. As there are already two fine upscale packages on Deadly Stream – and they both have liberal use policies – I was able to grab a bunch of upscales that already existed after renaming them to the TJM conventions. (See credits section for the other mods that were sourced.) Some of the TJM textures required new upscales as many of them are simply recolored vanilla textures and I didn’t want to manually recolor all of the original textures. Additionally, some of the textures in TJM are new or sourced from places outside the vanilla game. I’ve adjusted textures to my liking when I thought it would benefit the texture but I’ve mostly attempted to remain faithful to the – shall we say unique? - visual style of this mod. New upscales were (generally) set to upscale at 4 times the original size. The exceptions to this scaling are textures that would be larger than 2048 x 2048 if upscaled at 4x. As TJM is extensive and I didn’t have access to a beta team for this, please report any textures that I may missed an alpha layer for. I have heard rumbling that they are more than a few in the original TJM mod itself that presented issues in one way or another. Feel free to post pictures of areas over in the Release thread. In addition to the numerous before and pictures provided on this page, here is a little video showing the end results. What’s not included and why: I have not upscaled the following categories of textures included with TJM. Trex’s Custom Skyboxes: Many of these are already near the self-imposed 2048 x 2048 limit. In my humble opinion, they would not benefit from upscaling. I have replaced one of Trex’s skyboxes as seen in the outdoor levels of the planet called Etti with a version that uses my own textures rather than uses Trex’s textures (and it’s twice the size). Additionally, I have replaced one of Trex’s Coruscant skybox with one of my own. Inventory Items and their icons, including clothing and weapons: These fall outside of the scope of my original plans. Others that concentrate work on these type of mods would a better choice than me for this. Portraits and Character skins: Like the previous, working on character skins isn’t my forte. Many of the textures from Quanon were not upscaled (as they are close to my self-imposed size limit as they currently stand). When and where Quanon reused vanilla textures, those have been upscaled. If you are interested in what this mod doesn’t cover, you can always request other folks to work on it in the Mod Requests section on Deadly Stream. I wish you the best of luck with that. Installation: Drop all TGA and TXI files included in this mod into your Override folder. Credits: Some ship textures, the Czerka-branded protocol droid texture, and one animated computer panel in this collection were sourced from Dark Hope’s releases. Thanks to DH and his generosity in making permissions open for her mods. See here for a wide selection of his mods. Many of the TSL textures were sourced from “RESOURCE: Topaz GigaPixel AI Upscales – K2” by Thor110 (https://deadlystream.com/topic/9592-resourcetopaz-gigapixel-ai-upscales-k2/). I give my thanks for this convenient modding resource. Many of the KOTOR1 textures that TJM uses, I sourced upscales from what was originally called “KOTOR 1 Four Times ver 1.0” on Deadly Stream. It doesn’t appear to be on Deadly Stream now but I have found a version of that mod. It was uploaded to NexusMods as “KOTOR HD Galaxy Mod” - uploaded by SimplyCool988. Thanks to whoever the original unnamed author was for their open permissions, as listed in the read-me file. Thanks to Sithspecter for permission to use portions of his example pictures from his High Quality Blasters mod page. (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/861-high-quality-blasters/) Thanks to Lewok for beta testing these textures, adjusting some TXIs and an alpha layer of some textures on the D’Arth Syyth flagship, providing valuable input, and helping troubleshoot problematic textures. Thanks to Fair Strides for texture feedback and moral support. Legal Disclaimer: All materials and copyrights belong to LucasArts, Bioware and Obsidian Entertainment Inc. I own none of the materials, and I'm not making any money out of this mod. This mod is not to be distributed for profit, either. I hereby state that I specifically do NOT wish this mod to be uploaded to Steam Workshop. With the current state of NexusMods claiming mods as their property. it is unlikely for me that I’ll upload this mod over there. With that, Deadly Stream will be your one place to download this collection. Usage of my textures in other mods must be requested and approved by me before your use.
