View File [K1] Mandalore the Unknown [K1] Mandalore the Unknown Author: RavenFal Release Date: 11/28/2025 "Yes, that's him. I toyed with calling him dar'Mand'alor, loosely translating Mandalore the Unknown." ―Abel G. Peña This mod changes the Mandalorian Captain found by the Temple on the Unknown World to be “Mandalore the Unknown”, the self-proclaimed Mandalore referenced several times in KOTOR by HK-47 and the Mandalorians on Kashyyyk, but never seen in-game. Per the campaign guide, Canderous defeated him between games and took his armor and helmet as a way to honor him, combining the helmet with Mandalore the Ultimate's mask (which is why Manalore's helmet in KOTOR 2 looks so different compared to the mask from the comics). This mod moves that confrontation earlier in the timeline, allowing players to experience Canderous acquiring his armor from KOTOR 2 and letting him (or anyone in your party who can equip heavy armor) to rock up to the Star Forge wearing one of the coolest armor sets from either game. “Mandalore the Unknown” is wearing an upgradeable armor set with the appearance of Mandalore's Armor from KOTOR 2. Upon his defeat, he'll drop this armor instead of the “Mandalorian Assault Armor” the Mandalorian Captain drops in the base game. The appearance is set up as a disguise, and so it will work for both male and female characters. He also drops a datapad that explains why he was sending teams of Mandalorians to hunt in the Shadowlands, what he's doing on the Unknown World, and changes up events a little more to make to him the one who made the modifications to Mandalore's mask. I have also included optional files to change Mandalore the Ultimate from SilverEdge9's Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's Revenge mod to also have the appearance of Mandalore from KOTOR 2. The mask looted from the “Non-Canon” chest remains unaltered and has its original appearance. This mod is not compatible with any mod that alters g_mandalor004.utc (the Mandalorian Captain on the Unknown World). To Install the main mod: 1. Run the “Install.exe” program from the mod folder.

Thank you to everyone who commented on this thread. I never would have been able to put this together without y'all's help.

Okay, I've managed to properly import the model to KOTOR & edit appearance.2da appropriately. My only question now is how to make this compatible with other mods that modify appearance.2da, since that will change the appearance line number for the TSL Mandalore Armor.

After some digging, I found this thread, which says that you can use MDLEdit to convert the TSL model to an ACSII file, then convert the ACSII file to a KOTOR 1 file, so long as you have the correct KOTOR 1 supermodel in the same file location as the TSL model files you are trying to import to KOTOR 1: Just be sure to use the 2DA Editor when updating appearance.2da. It works much better than the KOTOR Tool.

How can you import a model from KOTOR 1 to KOTOR 2 and vice-versa? I understand that you need to use MDLOPs or MDLEdit, and then a 3d model software like blender with the add-ons available for download on this site, but I don't understand what steps actually need to be taken to make the model files from one game readable by the other game.

I assume it's not as easy as just adding the new line to appearance.2da and dropping the TSL mdl, mdx, & tga files for Mandalore into the Override folder. What would I need to do to make sure the TSL mdl, mdx, & tga files work properly in KOTOR 1?

Or a guide to explain what steps one would have to take to make it themself. It would have to be a disguise in order to work on both Male and Female characters, since no female model of the armor exists. To be clear, I'm talking about the version WITH the helmet, not the unused helmet-less model.

Does the existence of a custom female head on a companion ruin the female model for all characters? I have both this and SAO's Sleheyron Story Mode installed, and the female model defaults to the original base game's model even when worn by the PC with an unaltered head.

View File Vorn Daasraad's Krayt Dragon Pearl This mod allows you to loot a Krayt Dragon Pearl off of Vorn Daasraad's body (he's the Gamoreon Genoharadan target on Tatooine). This mod will only work on a save file from before Vorn Daasraad has been spawned. I always thought it was odd that you couldn't get a Krayt Dragon Pearl from Vorn, since the whole reason he's on Tatooine is because he's hunting a Krayt Dragon. You even see the dragon's dead body if you attack him with his own droid. Now you can get a 2nd Krayt Dragon Pearl without being a total jerk to Komad Fortuna. Or a 3rd, if you're okay with being a jerk. Of course, since Vorn is a Genoharadan target, you'll still have to get Dark Side points if you want the extra Pearl. Keeps things within the original spirit of the game. Installation: Drop the file into your Override Folder. Submitter Raven-Fal Submitted 11/12/2025 Category Mods K1R Compatible Yes  

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but I just a had an idea to get, more-or-less, what I was hoping for. I install your hoodless/maskless flowing robes mod, add a mod that adds Revan's mask as a wearable item (BOSSR for example), but I give the mask the disguise property. No mask=no hood, but that's something I can live with. I just wanted to have the hood when I wear the mask, but be able to see my character's face if I take the mask off. Now, this means that wearing the mask will always mean that my character is wearing the full Revan getup, but I don't typically wear Revan's mask without also wearing the robes, so it wouldn't have much impact on me.

I'm familiar with excellent mods Sithspecter's Revan's Flowing Cape & Belt and DarthParametric's Hoodless/Maskless Flowing Robes. Neither of those is quite what I'm looking for. Is there a mod out there that applies the flowing cape/belt fix to a model that keeps the hood but doesn't have the mask? If no such mod exists, what would have to be done to make one?

Mod is now live.

I'd like to create a mod to add a Krayt Dragon Pearl to Vorn Daasraad's (Gamorean Genoharadan target) body, but I don't know which file(s) I need to edit, or which tool is the best to use for making that edit.
