Well, I did what I could and the result is okay but not wonderful. Here's how Ajunta Pall's sword looks now (and it has a new matching icon): And I have also changed the elemental damage from Fire to Cold to better match the sword's lore. I wanted to give some drawback for using it that would also fit the lore about it being wholly corrupted but my initial idea (a -25 malus to the GoodEvil alignment value for the wielder) was unfeasible. If someone has some other suggestions, I am interested in hearing them out.

Thanks for your opinions, AmanoJyaku and KnifeMaster. I didn't install Operation Kill Bastila because at the moment I am busy with other work so I have no idea how good the hood/cloak disguise is and how smoothly this has been introduced in the game but the idea itself has merit, in my opinion. Probably what I would go for is to simply provide a mask for Bastila to wear (I don't believe a cloak is necessary) without which she is attacked on sight by the Sith patrols. I am a little uncertain about whether wielding the lightsaber should trigger the attack with or without mask though. The weapon would be visible but on the other hand is not that conspicuous unless it's on. I'm trying to think what kind of headgear the part can find/buy on Taris but it seems to me there are no such items that completely cover the face there. Cheers!

Well, it'd be perfectly legit. My own reason for it would be that Lord Malak wanted Bastila captured rather than killed. On the other hand opening fire on her would be the closest thing to it and role playing wise it'd make sense to me.

Hello! I happened to find here on this site this interesting Operation Kill Bastila Remade modification and I am a little ambivalent about it so I wanted to ask fellow KotOR fans about how things should be in their opinion. What do you think? Cheers!

Thanks a lot, JC. Best of luck with your work.

Hello! Does anyone know if someone has come up with reskins for the double bladed sword? I looked around a little but didn't find what I was looking for, which is a reskin with dark blades. May someone here be interested in creating one? It would be a reskin for Ajunta Pall's blade which, according to Ajunta Pall himself should be very dark ("My ancient sword is black as the night sky"). The original sword has ordinary white blades like every other sword instead. I know @ebmarhas created a beautiful sword but I adapted that one to become Yusani's brand (creating a new icon) instead since it fits that item better in my opinion. Thanks for the attention.

Hello @N-DReW25! The ambushes by the three dark jedis with one of them speaking the line "Lord Malak was most displeased when he learned you had escaped Taris Alive" are two? One in Kashyyyk and one in Tatooine? Or are there others that I seem to have forgotten? Thanks!

@AmanoJyakuTruth to be told, he didn't get to see the scene itself. He just recorded on script inputs from me but I did mention we were talking of a tortured, tired and angry person. I'm not sure it would have made much of a difference. But when I tested the actor's VO in the game I thought it did fit in quite nicely. Granted, it is not the best possible version but I think it's the best solution. My own take wasn't bad in my own opinion but I tend to dislike my voice and I'd honestly hear someone else's, especially if we are talking of a trained VA.

I must say you did an impressive job editing that file, KnifeMaster. Thank you. I still feel like it's best to go for the VA though. SithHolocron 's take is fine by me but I think his voice is still being affected by his cold a little. Nice presentation though. 👌

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Even if I must honestly say that I wish that I the actor's recording had some of that " expressiveness" I think I could inject my own recording, it does still seem to me that his is the best alternative overall and that I should go for it.

Thanks, @La Ingobernable. And thank you for your edit, @ebmar. It is a definite improvement but there is a metallic ring to the voice (?) and a cranked up volume, perhaps?

Thanks for the comments, guys. I have actually re-recorded my line because I realized it was really awful. And yes, I do have an accent but I don't think it's too big a problem in this case. The cold I have and the non professional equipment is though. Let me know if you think the second version is any improvement. If not, I will stop trying and go for the actor's voice which is good enough despite the flaws @La Ingobernable detected (and I agree). Cheers!

I have sent you a PM about your kind offer, JC. I realized only later that you were asking for requests to be posted here. My apologies.

I got the VO from the actor and I must say it's quite good although I believe I have done a decent job myself so I'm not at the moment sure which one I should go for. Perhaps you can help me make a decision. I will upload one line delivered by myself and one by the actor so you all get to chime in and tell me about your preference. UPDATE: Here it is. I do have a cold and don't have a good mic or anything remotely professional so the audio quality's difference is noticeable. But it's just an initial test. I think the actor did a very good job. My only concern was that I didn't hear much pain in his voice as you'd expect from a tortured prisoner. nm35aavict23000_[Actor].wav nm35aavict23000_[Salk].wav

I decided to go with the service of a professional actor to record the lines of the Mandalorian Prisoner. He will be the only one that is going to have a new voice.

Welcome back. I am sorry to hear you lost all your previous work. It must be very frustrating.

I agree with you full-heartedly. Adrenas is the only one I find quite believable and it would have been a nice touch of Bioware if the generic Sith student lines included one with some sort of nasty remark about him. Locally I changed Tariga to a female Twi'lek (and of course removed the "You're human, but you speak like a Twi'lek..." line from its .dlg file) and did the same with Hijata which I turned into a Twi'lek after realizing I couldn't really give him an Ithorian appearance and at the same time make him wear a robe (it would have been better but oh well...). The only one I would be glad to change is the Mandalorian Prisoner's VO and I think my efforts will focus on him. I'm sure I can find someone who can pull it off nicely although it's no easy task. Cheers!

I take any change I do to the game quite seriously so I wouldn't every go for a low quality outcome. This is not a high priority but is something I am definitely considering.

I love(d) Knights of the Old Republic for more than one reason but now that I have been trying for years to make the game even better through fixes and tweaks I cannot help thinking of a few things that Bioware did sloppily. There are several but here in Korriban I noticed how they cut a few corners with some human looking Sith Academy residents whose VO is alien. That's a tolerable thing (especially if there is an interesting story behind it, which is not the case for our game) if it's done once or possibly twice but Bioware did abuse of this in Korriban. I count 3 4 creatures that should speak Galactic Basic but have alien VO and each time all I could think of was that they didn't have the means/time to record the lines properly rather than being a specific choice. The affected creatures are: the Mandalorian Prisoner, Adrenas, Hijata and Tariga. Three Four in a single area module. Way too much, in my opinion. I have half a mind to get someone to record the lines for at least one of the three four and remove the nonsensical excuse for missing a proper VO. Thoughts? Cheers!

Nice to see new material from you, Alvar007! I think the new animations are good and would gladly use them.

I don't actually remember that because it happened so sporadically. But I am quite certain we are talking of two different areas.

Hello! I cannot unfortunately offer you any help on this but I can confirm that the sudden load of an extraneous module happened to me a few times too without any apparent reason. I can add I have never attempted any kind of speedrunning through the game. Cheers!

Thanks for this new fix, DP! I think you have forgotten to add one file to the VANILLA version of it though.

Congratulations on this new, excellent skybox! One question: the table in the opening post is not updated, right?
