  1. I hope this isn't too much of an imposition. Perhaps in addition to see your new background examples, you should also include an example of what it would look like with the saber on top of it. That way, we can see how everything works together.
  2. I have just reinstalled TSL yet again.  I used the majority of the KOTOR Reddit Build for ease of compatibility (and my sanity).  I'm looking for recommendations on smaller mods (i.e. not M4-78 EP or other larger content mods) that are considered compatible with the build.  Any suggestions?

      3 of those are actually in the Reddit Build.  I went with Kexkius' skyboxes rather than Malkior's skyboxes.  (And I skipped the Maintenance Officer Reskin even though it was in the build.)

      Thanks for the suggestions!

      Before anyone may ask, I use my own version of the TSL legal screen and I do use Naevalok's hi res movies.

  3. View File KotOR1 Polished Crystal Icons Pack AUTHOR: Sith Holocron ORIGINAL RELEASE: 21 AUG 2022 GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 [This mod will not work in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 as intended. Instead, use this mod specifically made for KotOR2 instead.] Description: So . . . this is a part of another mod that I’ve had on my computer/s for some time but I hadn’t gotten around to putting out there to the public. Until now. This all started out with getting higher resolution icons for crystals in TSL. There are way more crystals in that game than in KotOR1. However, it seemed logical to narrow the focus of that mod by releasing a pared back version and release it as a KotOR1 stand alone version. That’s what you have here – a test run for a possible TSL version later on. I found source pictures of many crystals over the years and took care to try and match the color, crystal type and - when possible - the orientation of the crystal to match what you saw in vanilla. Yes, I included the Mantle of the Force and the Heart of the Guardian crystals. And yes . . . I included the Krayt Dragon Pearl. From the pictures you’ve (hopefully) seen on the download page, you’ll notice that some of the crystals appear to be duplicated. That’s how it is handled in the game and it wasn’t an error on my part. Installation: Drop the TGA files into your Override folder. If you are using this mod with other mods that include re-texturing of the crystal's icons, install this mod after them. Uninstall: Remove the TGA files from your Override folder.

  5. I need to find some textures for icons and I'm running into a snag.  Might any of you be able to find the texture names for the following icons: Krayt Dragon Pearl and the Rough-cut Upari Amulet?

  6. For the named characters, why not just have a faded version of their faces (and in Nihilus' case, his mask) as the background?
  7. The free TSLRCM DLC hasn't even been released yet.
  8. Isn't Svosh's mod just a texture?
  9. Why not provide an example picture for people to view?
  10. You might wanna PM @Marius Fett and discuss it with him.
  11. May as well stick with Canon. Could always release an unstable saber separately.
  12. The author doesn't follow this thread. You're better off sending him a PM asking the same thing.
  13. If memory serves, Jorak Uln's TGAs were saved incorrectly, with what supposed to be the bottom-left origin was instead top-right.  Does that result in the texture being backwards, upside down, or both?  I plan to correct all of these manually to remove any need for XnView so any information would be helpful. 

    And in other news, I'm typing this from new computer.

      From what I understood, XnView saved files in an inverted or I guess flipped orientation by design, so rather than being saved incorrectly, they were being saved into its weird proprietary format.

      Well, they've now been flipped without using that program.

      For the record XnConvert does this as well, defaults to bottom-up orientation as opposed to leaving the texture as it is. Too many steps for what should be a default feature.

  14. I know Vandar appears as a hologram in TSL. Any chance of TSL version down the line?
  15. As someone that has had many falls from grace* in dealing with folks on this and other KOTOR communities, I may have some suggestions. And I am making this post here rather than doing this in a PM. Don't private the videos but make them unlisted. Even if you're going to attempt to lessen the blow in your reevaluation and readdresal of the Cathalan situation, you want folks to see what was said. If they know where to search for the videos (i.e. this thread), they can learn what you did say. Of course, you can take actions to lessen future harm by turning off comments to those videos though. I'm not sure what you plan to communicate in your official post. Contrition for what you said? Toning down the negative commentary but providing an even handed review from today's perspective? Will it be making suggestions (or even offers of actual modding help in the form of patches) to the work? Hard to say. But to make the videos completely private just doesn't feel like the right way to go, especially with the thread providing evidence that something happened. Because any apology would have to acknowledge any harm done. And this was a long post to type on a phone. * Not her.
  16. The bad news is that my computer has had its day. The good news is that the replacement should be ready by Friday.

      It will work. That's my main priority, @VarsityPuppet!

      If you've been watching the KOTOR Reddit Discord, you'll know what my next project will likely be once I am back up and running.

      I'm going to have to get used to using a tower that doesn't have a DVD drive inside.

  17. Here is one of the videos mentioned in Shan's post above.
  18. Hey @Darth_Sapiens? How far did you get with that Aurebesh in-game font? If you have it, could you upload it for these folks?
  19. Can you take a screenshot in a better lit area? How about in her original spot in Dreshdae?
