GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1

Description:

In before the inevitable request…

As I just put up a TSL logo texture mod up yesterday, here’s one for the original KOTOR. This is my attempt to bring the logo in line with modern standards. This texture is sized at 2048 by 2048 (yes, you read that correctly) so it should definitely be slightly crisper than the original. The original texture was sized at 256 by 256.

Someone that shall remain nameless was inquiring about using my mod so they could extend the middle bar out to the end like the original menu logo did.  I have done this.  Additionally, the coloring on this “long bar” version was slightly de-saturated to more in mine with the original in-game logo.

For those not keeping up . . .

Short Bar Version: That’s the logo that you’ll see on the box art, the game discs, and the Prima Guide Book

Long Bar Version: A variant version of the logo where the bar that contains “Of The” stretches to the end letters rather being nestled in the center between the large “K” and large “S”

A reminder: this whole upload was originally a gag just so I could avoid taking a request in the future.  Looks like the joke’s on me.

If you find the difference to be pleasing, please let me know in the comments.

Installation:

With more options, there inevitably comes a longer instruction section.

First, choose which version you’ll be going with: Short Bar or Long Bar.  That’s where you’ll be grabbing textures from.

If you’re using an original version of KOTOR – that is you’re not using a widescreen mod (such as or UniWS, Flawless Widescreen, or Aspyr's natively widescreen version) – then you’ll want to place the “logo_sw_02.tga” file from the “Standard (Vanilla) Resolutions” sub folder from either the “Short Bar” folder or the “Long Bar folder”

If you’re using KOTOR with either UniWS, Flawless Widescreen, or Aspyr's natively widescreen version) – then you’ll want to place the “logo_sw_02.tga” file from the “For those using Widescreen fixes” sub folder from either the “Short Bar” folder or the “Long Bar” folder.

Uninstallation:

Remove the TGA file from your Override folder.  Delete it.

Known Bugs:

None known at this time.

UPDATED RELEASE: 15 DEC 2021

GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords

Description:

As suggested by a Mod Request on DeadlyStream.

When using one of my loading screen mods, they said they noticed that the logo now looked blurry by comparison. This is my attempt to bring the logo in line with modern standards.This texture is sized at 1024 by 1024 so it should be crisper than the original. In addition, the version number has been updated to the current one – 1.8.6.  If you find the difference to be pleasing, please let me know in the comments.

You want samples?  I got some samples for ya right here!

Original Vanilla Version

My Version

A few notes, once you extract files from the 7z file, you’ll see two folders.  You’ll only be using one of these and for that you’ll want to consult the Instructions section below.

This mod is compatible with DarthParametric's TSL Main Menu Model Fix for Widescreen if (and only if) you use my “kotor2logo.tga” file rather than the ones they provide.

If you find the difference to be pleasing, please let me know in the comments.

Installation:

Remove the “kotor2logo.tga” that’s currently in your Override folder and place where you can find it later if needed.

If you’re using an original version of TSL – that is you’re not using a widescreen mod (such as or UniWS, Flawless Widescreen, or Aspyr's natively widescreen version) – then you’ll want to place the “kotor2logo.tga” file from the “Standard (Vanilla) Resolutions” folder.

If you’re using TSL with either UniWS, Flawless Widescreen, or Aspyr's natively widescreen version) – then you’ll want to place the “kotor2logo.tga” file from the “For those using Widescreen fixes” folder.

If you chose correctly, you'll see something like this! (Borders added for text purposes.)

If you chose poorly and have widescreen changing things, you'll see something like this (or unleash Cthulu)! (Borders added for text purposes.)

I can't have made these instructions simpler than this.

Uninstallation:

Delete the “kotor2logo.tga” file currently in your Override folder.  Find the original TGA that you carefully put aside and put it back into the Override folder.

Known Bugs:

None known at this time.

Description:

Still cleaning out the archive . . .   

So . . . I was looking over my mods and I realized I had things left to finish. This one was difficult to place in a larger mod as it’s only one little texture so that’s how I’ll package.

Meet the DAN_tech01” texture, in its actual size.

If I recall correctly, it’s found in Khoonda but it may appear elsewhere. I’m sure you’ll let you let me know that in the comments if you encounter it elsewhere.

So it’s small and it’s not the most exciting texture.  With some animation, maybe it could be more interesting. 

I give you my take on it, in its actual size.

Installation:

-------------

Place TGA and TXI files into your KotOR2 Override folder.

Uninstallation:

-------------

Take them out again. 

Known Bugs:

-------------

None known at this time.

Special Thanks:

-------------

Thanks to Jorak Uln for the frame that surrounds the monitor on texture “NAR_tekX”, which was included in my “Nar Shaddaa Docks Computer and Monitors Upgrade” mod.  I recycled portions of that framework for this texture.

Don’t you hate unfinished business?  I sure do. 

So . . . I was looking over my mods and I realized I had things left to finish. One of the collections that I hadn’t released before I left the staff of DeadlyStream (again!) was a minor texture. These cover the major of the monitors you would see in the Docks section of Nar Shaddaa.  One of the reasons that this wasn’t finished was an error on some of the models that had some lighting issues on them.  However, ebmar made a quick fix and that seems to have done the trick. In keeping with my M.O., I’ve attached a video so you can see a before and after comparison before you decide to download.

With the exception of the NAR_tek1 texture, none of these are animated.

Installation:

-------------

Place MDL and MDX into the Override folder. Put all included TGA and TXI files into your KotOR2 Override folder.

Uninstallation:

-------------

Take them out again.  To take out specific textures, please refer to the pictures on the download page as they clearly show which ones are which.

Known Bugs:

-------------

None known at this time.

Special Thanks:

Thanks to @ebmar would create that model fix or these textures would’ve never seen the light of day.

Thanks to @Jorak Uln for the frame that surrounds the monitor on texture NAR_tekX.  I recycled portions of that framework on some of the other textures.

Thanks to @N-DReW25 for doing some beta testing and providing helpful feedback towards this project.

And thanks to @DarthParametric for attempting to try and walk me through some of the issues regarding that model.  He wasn’t successful but he did give it the college try!
