The_Chaser_One

Main idea
I’m pretty sure that if you’re in this modding community, you’ve at least once hesitated between the Community Patch for KOTOR 1 (K1CP) and the KOTOR Restoration mod (K1R). And I’m here to give you what you need. In fact, @N-DReW25 already made a restored content mod for K1CP (RC-K1CP). The fact is that it doesn’t restore everything K1R does, especially one of its biggest parts : the Pazaak Tournament on Manaan.
The mod I made will bring it back into your game, with some additions I took the time to add.
Please read at least the "optional" and "installation" sections in order to understand how the mod works (don't worry, it's not very complicated).
I highly recommend downloading Jorak Uln's Manaan complete overhaul to give some fresh air to the game and to the Tournament itself. If not already done, Kexikus's Skyboxes too. It includes Manaan as well as every other planet in the game.
While I'm at it, if you're interested in more new content for Manaan, I also refer you to my speeder fast travel mod.
I deeply linked my mod to Sao's Sleheyron : Story mode. If you download his mod and play through it, my mod's connected characters will react differently and you will unlock new dialogue options. I'd recommend installing his mod before mine.
 
Unless you really want to know what I added and what K1R had already made, you can skip this section and jump straight to the options.
 
 
 
Optional
I’m sure you will be pleased to know this mod is customizable. It has 4 interesting options.
1) Compatibility or full mode
The only big issue you can encounter with this mod is the placeables limit. This is a KOTOR issue I discovered not long ago. Put simply, you can’t add more than about 25 new placeables in your game. K1R has a bit less than 10, while BOSSR has 20. DarthParametric’s diversified jedi captives on the Star Forge brings 7. Capitaine Spoque’s taxi system on Taris brings 1, such as mine for Manaan.
Most of K1R’s placeables are actually from the Pazaak Tournament. They’re the animated holograms. There are 6. And, to be fair, they’re kind of broken. They disappear behind other placeables such as the exit door and the organizer’s desk.
As this problem is very hard to solve and I don’t have the required modelling skills, I’m giving the following choice to you :
- Full mode : With holograms, if you’re not planning to install many mods that add new placeables.
- Compatibility mode : Without holograms, if you have some of the mods designated above, or others that add many placeables. If you have many mods installed, either you take the risk, or you check yourself in the placeables.2da file with Holocron Toolset, or you simply take the compatibility option. It really doesn’t remove much anyway.
 
2) New Loadscreen
The Pazaak Tournament is compatible with :
          1) adjrenter’s Very nice Loadscreens (See in requirements section for link)
- Option A : Full version (with holograms)
- Option B : Compatibility version : without holograms
These are brand new LoadScreens.
(Option C : You don’t take anything and you’ll get the basic “Very nice style” loadscreen, but it would be kind of a waste).
          2) SithSpecter’s HD Loadscreens (See in requirements section for link)
Here, either you don’t take anything and it will be the basic Revan and Malak Loadscreen, or you take this option and you’ll have Ahto East SithSpecter’s HD Loadscreen.
 
3) Gonto in Thor110’s Manaan Hotel restored room (INSTALLER VERSION)
As showed in the screenshots, this will put Gonto Yas in the Hotel missing room, restored by Thor110. Make sure you install his mod first. It’s actually pretty consistent (not perfect but consistent) that he would be there, because he actually has some stuff to say about the murder.
Just so you know, this option will add a computer, a locker, a table and 2 chairs in Gonto’s room, and will also give some Pazaak cards to Firith Me and make him look at them, towards his shelf (instead of standing in the center of his room like a true npc).
WARNING : If you want the Sunry's murder recording enhancement, you'll need to download it first. This mod is very much recommended as it combines with Gonto to enhance the murder quest ! Make sure to do SMRE ---> missing room ---> Gonto.
 
4) A brand new crystal from Bogga the Hutt
I’m not telling you why, for obvious reasons, but you might want to speak with this guy. He's got some interesting background.
If you’re the kind of person who installs a lot of mods, including the amazing Crazy34’s lightsaber blade models, you might want to have a look at this. And if you aren’t, well, I can only recommend that you download his models and this option, but you do you anyway. This is an option because it has a requirement. You will still have Bogga and his side quest even if you don’t get that option. You will just lose a cool Viridian lightsaber crystal with a nice story and some buffs.
 
 
There shouldn’t be any spelling, grammar or syntax error/mistake as I put love, time and focus on this, but if you do find one, please tell me so I can fix it (this works for every issue you might encounter). Don’t be too harsh, I’m French, and English is by no means my first language.
 
Requirements
 
1) For the Loadscreen options :
- ajdrenter’s Very nice Loadscreens
- SithSpecter’s HD Loadscreens
2) For option 3 : Thor110’s Manaan Hotel restored room (INSTALLER VERSION)
3) For option 4 : Crazy34's lightsaber blade models : (only the main part --vanilla sabers-- of his mod is needed)
 
Installation
 
Compatibility
 
My mod is fully compatible with K1CP and RC-K1CP, as they are now (in 2025) the main reference for modders, at least the first one. More than compatible, they’re very much recommended !
It will obviously not be compatible with K1R, as it is meant to replace a big part of it.
Please see option 1 for more information about the main compatibility issue you could encounter.
You can now find a compatibility patch for those who use the NPC Diversity Pack. Make sure you have both mods installed first. Its goal is to restore Jolan's Nikto appearance. By not taking it, he will be a Rodian at the entry of Ahto City and a Nikto in the Tournament area. I'm pretty sure you don't want that to happen.
If you have Alien Ported VO for K1, just install the Tournament after it. I didn't want to change Jolan's language for several reasons (time consuming, not enough Nikto lines diversity, Rodian sounding better in regard to his behavior, etc.).
 
Known issues
Basically none, except that you'll probably be lagging a little due to the fact that this is now an actual galactic event (meaning with way more NPCs in it). It will appear around the Sith embassy and its corridor, as well as for the end cutscene but that shouldn't be too much of a problem considering it will vanish during the dialogue.

Hello, very simple mod today.
After Ajunta Pall's swords, here's another much needed modernisation of the game. I bring you one of the most known Dark Lords of the Sith's mask. The actual mask (or more like helmet ?). Not the ugly vanilla one.
Anyway, you'll just have to run the Installer and select either the standard version or the upscaled one. It'll look a bit better but will also take a bit more space, so you choose.
Compatible with everything as long as it doesn't replace Tulak Hord's mask (yes, even compatible with mods that would only change the mask's stats as long as the file doesn't get thrown in Override).
Thanks to @DarthParametric for his awesome SWTOR ports and some guy for the upscale.
I do not own this model. I know nothing of licenses so I'm just going to say that if you want to use this mod (which is basically a modders resource mixed with an end user mod), just make sure doing it is fine. Some guy says that if you want to reuse the upscale, it's okay as long as you attribute the work the same way (credit him as some guy).

Main idea
Has the time it takes to get from one end of Ahto City to the other ever seemed too long ? Has it ever annoyed you ? If so, this mod is exactly what you need. It adds a custom speeder, using LoneWanderer’s modder resource, to every part of the city, allowing you to traverse it in seconds.
If you want more new content for Manaan, I refer you to my Manaan Pazaak Masters Tournament restoration.
This mod was at first an add-on to Capitaine Spoque’s Taris Rapid Transit System. Thus, to get the best game experience and as I used some of his sound files, I greatly advise to download his mod.
However, if for some reason you don’t want it, you have 2 options :
1) You won’t have power on and off sounds for the speeder, even though it will still be enjoyable, don’t worry.
2) You download Capitaine Spoque’s mod but you do not install it on your game installation. You will instead go to his tslpatchdata folder, take the In.wav and out.wav files and put them in your streamwaves folder. Then you will have the power on and off sounds. I recommend copying these 2 files somewhere near my mod's location in case you need to reinstall it. After having done that, you can delete the rest of his mod from your computer. See Installation section for when to follow these steps.
To give more realism to my mod, and in order to having a better insertion into the game, I added a new line to the security selkath who opens you the door to the city, as well as some directly on the speeders. You will have to load a save before entering Ahto City. Starting a game where you are in the docking bay module (and in which you’ve never been further into the city) should be good.
 
Another important advice : if you haven't already, you should really consider downloading and installing (before mine) these 2 essential mods for Manaan, for it to look like in the screenshots (especially the blue ground that goes so well with the speeders imo) :
1) Manaan Complete Overhaul by Jorak Uln (animated and better textures) :
2) High Quality Skyboxes by Kexikus (better skies for every planet, including Manaan):

Main idea
Have you ever, while playing KOTOR, been disappointed by the way the prestige quests’ storyline on Korriban was organized, because you couldn’t tell Uthar Wynn about every quest you’d done before going to Naga Sadow’s tomb just because you “had enough prestige to become a Sith in full” ? And then, they would stay in your quests journal forever. Or maybe, you were annoyed when you discovered that to finish Ajunta Pall’s quest, you had to give away his sword and you couldn’t get it back ? Especially with amazing mods that make it look so beautiful and actually enjoyable in-game ?
The K1R and K1CP remove the quests from the journal when going to Naga Sadow's tomb. So with one of them a part of the issue is fixed. However, I promise you, this is a way better alternative.
You can choose between :
     - VANILLA FRIENDLY VERSION : This gives you the possibility to tell Uthar about every prestige quests you’ve completed, even after reaching max prestige. You'll need to report to master Uthar right BEFORE going to Naga Sadow’s tomb for your final test. To be very honest, this is mostly for dark side players, but I’m sure there are lots out there. Furthermore, I’ve played as a neutral/slightly light side character and I still had that problem (1 or 2 quests I couldn’t finish).
     - FULL VERSION : It contains 3 main components. You will now have in your game :
 
Optional (ONLY FOR FULL VERSION)

Carth Taris hideout dialog restoration
Hello there everyone !
After my first music overhaul mod, I decided I wanted to upload something you already have with K1R. However, as the latter is incompatible with many of the mods you may want to download (like me), but you still like Carth and you want him to take care of you (as well as feeling like an actual hero who wants to fight even badly injured), this is for you. It restores his lines post Endar Spire's escape when he got you to the abandoned apartment right after your vision and fixes some stuff in his dialog. What this mod does not do however, is make him talk to you from the window instead of directly in front of you. I saw someone asking for this but my modding skills are too low atm. It might come in an update though, so stay in touch and don't hesitate to tell me if you think this is a good idea.
WARNING : This is now included in the Restored content for K1CP mod by @N-DReW25 AND Sleheyron Story mode by @SAO1138. If you're planning to play with one or even both of them (which I genuinely recommend btw !), DO NOT install my mod or it will break your game. However, there are other (bigger and better) mods waiting for you in my profile, especially if you're a fan of Manaan and/or Korriban !
Installation :
- Unzip my folder, take the .dlg file and put it in your override folder.
- You’re ready to go, enjoy ! If you liked the mod, please consider putting a like, a 5 stars or even a simple review, it helps a lot even if it doesn't cost you much. So thank you in advance.
I hope this helps you enjoy Carth a bit more, because I discovered it when I played K1R at 3rd playthrough and I remember thinking I would've liked this for my first playthrough.
Uninstallation : Delete the file from your override folder.
Incompatibilities / issues : you think it's too small ? Don't worry, soon it will change this dialog even more... For actual issues, don't hesitate to report to me. I don't know of any. However, as this modifies only the Carth Taris hideout dialog file, it should be compatible with anything that doesn't change it too. It is compatible with K1CP, which you have to install before my mod for them to work together (it's obvious, this mod is very small and precise so it comes last while K1CP is almost a complete overhaul so it comes first). It won't be compatible with K1R (also obvious, since it is made for a non K1R build).
Big thanks to Cortisol for his amazing Holocron Toolset, which I used to modify the dialog file, and to the Deadlystream community, especially all the inspiring modders that keep the game alive, and obviously to the Kotor community in general (even more to those who will download the mod lol). Have a nice play, and may the Force be with you !
 

Small mod => Small description.
This is a modernisation I thought needed to be made for Ajunta Pall's swords. You'll find the instructions in the ReadMe file.
Only actual REQUIREMENT : Crazy34's New lightsaber blade models for K1 : please install the following parts of his mod before installing mine :
1) Vanilla sabers : main part ;
2) Black core lightsabers ;
3) Unstable lightsabers ;
4) Crossguards lightsabers ;
5) Black core crossguard lightsabers.
Being a modernisation, I had to use a popular lightsabers improvement mod. This mod is not for purists. I believe most players downloading it will already have Crazy34's lightsabers in their build anyway.
 
My mod is compatible with basically everything, including K1R, K1CP and RC-K1CP, but also and more accurately :
1) Rece's Ajunta Pall's swords revamped : Install his mod before mine. Take the compatibility version.
2) Ebmar's Ajunta Pall's Legends blade : Take my mod's vanilla version. Install his mod after mine.
If you want both of these mods, you might want to do it in this order : Swords Revamped ---> my mod (compatibility version) ---> Legends Blade. This way you should get new stats and price for the swords, which will be lightsabers, except for Ajunta Pall's sword itself, which will have Ebmar's look. You also have my other Korriban's mod's Ajunta Pall's new blade option, if you want it to be a red double sword. Needs this vibroweapons overhaul though (but it's quite good, dw).
3) VarsityPuppet's Spectral Ajunta Pall canonical appearance. This mod is, in my humble opinion, a must have for every KotOR player. It doesn't edit the same files so no instructions needed.
If you have another mod in mind which you think mine should become compatible with, and is not yet, feel free to send a comment.
 
Hope you enjoy it. If yes, you can always leave a review/like. Doesn't cost much and is highly appreciated.
 
Thanks to @Crazy34 for allowing the modding community to use his amazing lightsabers mod. It is a great resource that, imo, should be used more often.
 
For Korriban, the Old Republic planets' GOAT.

Complete KOTOR music overhaul (SWTOR style)
 
Hello there ! After some playthroughs, I thought the KOTOR 1 ambient themes were great but too old and I needed something fresh. And yes, I know there are some musics overhaul mods out there, such as Detran’s movie mod : https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/1552
But I wanted a more ambient version. And I realized SWTOR themes were the perfect match for most of the places you visit in KOTOR.
So I took many SWTOR themes (and some others, if you want the surprise don’t look at the resumee below, but there’s not much more than SWTOR themes tbf), which gives us a total of 26 ambient musics (there’s not much about fight music yet, but updates could come if asked). Hope you like it !
 
Installation :
- Make a backup of the streammusic folder in your game directory,
- take the files from my mod’s “themes” folder and put them in your streammusic folder. When ask to replace, click yes.
- You’re ready to go, enjoy ! If you liked the mod, please consider putting a like, a 5 stars or even a simple review, it helps a lot even if it doesn't cost you much. So thank you in advance.
 
Uninstallation :
- Delete your streammusic folder in your game directory,
- Take your streammusic backup folder and put it back in your game directory.
 
Issues / incompatibilities :
None that I know of. Tell me if you find one, but since it only replaces files in streammusic folder it should be good. Thus, K1R compatibility should be guaranteed (K1CP too, that one I tried and it should work perfectly)
Obviously though, you must not have other music mods installed that make changes to the same files/themes for it to work.
 
That’s basically it. If you enjoy it and/or have improvement to suggest, feel free to text me !
