OPEN BETA: 27 MAY 2026

GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II

Description:

This time, I’m doing this a little differently. This mod collection is being released as an open beta! But first, what is it?

I’ve been tinkering with making icons for TSL (and also for K1 but that’s a whole separate story) for quite some time now. I’ve shown off a few of them on the Discords for the KotOR community but I never had a real plan to actually release them in a public way. It’s more of a fun thing that I didn’t need to share.

The original icon interest came about from a thread on Deadly Stream from a (now retired) modder named Nomnisang. They made a post about making a collection of icons called the KotOR II High-Res Icon Suite. (link: https://deadlystream.com/topic/3563-kotor-ii-high-res-icon-suite/) They got a promotion in RL, lost a lot of the material, and went on to different things. I had the idea of salvaging what was posted. There were not many icons posted in the thread themselves but enough pieces were there that I could start to do some work. Some of the work came about with me testing out what Topaz Gigapixel could do – both with clean up and with creativity prompts. Some of the icons were my own takes on the vanilla icons. As can be seen in the many pictures posted on the download page, there’s a bit of range from Nomnisang’s style and my own versions of the vanilla icons.

The icons as presented here cover Feats, Force Powers, and Skills for TSL. The text included on the icons as shown on the Download page is not included on the icons in the game – it is merely for illustrative purposes.

The Open Beta: The feedback I’m looking for.

1)      The sizes of the textures here vary.  They vary from 128 x 128 to 512 x 512. I do know the general consensus amongst modders about what sizes should be the most effective, but I’d rather hear from the actual end user that would be actually be using this mod. If the feedback left in this open beta suggest I may need to resize the larger of the textures, so be it. But I’d rather not just doing on the whim of folks that will never use the mod in the first place.

2)      I like to think that I’m thorough and have found all of the icons that should be in this set. However – despite the rumors – I am actually human. If I’ve missed any, Id like to know which ones. And not just the name of the powers, feats, etc. I’d also need to know the actual file name of the file I’ve missed!

3)      Rotting out any bugs.  Is everything appearing in the game the way it’s supposed to be? There’s nothing anything showing up upside down, right? If so, that’s something I’d need to remedy!

The Open Beta: The feedback I’m NOT looking for.

                    By this time, you’ve seen the icons. You have opinions on them. You might even have suggestions on how you think I could improve them. What they look like now is basically how they’re going to stay. If any of the icons in particular don’t appeal to you, I don’t particularly need to hear about that. So please keep that in mind before posting.

Installation:

Copy all TGA files to the Override folder on Knights of the Old Republic II.

(Example location - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\swkotor\Override)

When/if prompted to overwrite files, press okay. If a TPC file is present with the same name, move it to another location outside the game folder.

If you like the mod; please leave a comment and/or give me 5 stars!

Uninstall:

Remove the files you’ve added in Installation instructions. If you’ve moved TPC files as referenced in the Installation instructions, you can move those back into the Override folder after you’ve deleted my TGA files of the same name. If you do decide to move any of the TPC files back, that's completely optional and up to your discretion.

Special Thanks:

Nomnisang: Thanks for the inspiration for doing this and the icons you did post in your original thread.

Dark Hope: Thanks for his open permissions, which allowed me to grab high quality grenades for those relevant feat icons.

Sithspecter: Thanks for granting permissions, which allowed me to grab pictures of his weapons from his example pictures for those relevant feat icons.

The KotOR Discord: For previously rendered feedback on the icons.

ORIGINAL PRIVATE RELEASE: 31 JAN 2026

FIRST PUBLIC RELEASE: 10 MAY 2026

GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 or 2

Description:

These are upscaled textures for the pazaak cards in KotOR.  This mod release not only includes the cards as used in the mini-game, but also the decks and loose cards used as decorations in the various pazaak dens around the games. This release is very likely incompatible with any other mod release that adjusts the cards for pazaak.

Installation:

From the folder labeled “Mini-Game cards”: Drop the TGA files in that folder into your Override folder in your game of choice. 

The pazaak decoration texture differs between the two games even though the file name stays the same. KotOR2’s pazaak decoration has a green card replacing the gold one in the texture.  As the green card doesn’t exist in KotOR1 game play, you’ll probably want to use the canon card colors.

If modding for KotOR1: From the folder labeled “Pazaak Card decorations [K1]”, drop the TGA file in it into your KotOR1 Override folder.

If modding for KotOR2: From the folder labeled “Pazaak Card decorations [K1]”, drop the TGA file in it into your KotOR2 Override folder.

Uninstallation:

Take the files you put in from this release, out again.

Known Bugs:

None known at this time.
