Hello, N-DReW-25! Thanks for this new release of yours. I have a couple of questions/remarks: 1) Dirty Commoner Head Variant Male. From the screenshot it looks good, but I wonder what kind of texture file it uses because your modification doesn't seem to include one for it. Is it an original game's texture? 2) Dirty Commoner Head Variant Female. This one instead has its own texture in your modification, it seems (N_Comm_f_m2), but when I opened it, it confirmed the weirdness I think I noticed looking at the screenshot. The face is way too pale and clean compared to the rest of the texture. 3) Sith Apprentice 1 Head. I would like to ask more about this one. The game has two head textures for sith apprentices, N_SithAppren01_H and N_SithAppren02_H. You are replacing the first with your own version. From what I understand, you are telling us that the original game doesn't make any use of N_SithAppren01_H and that you wanted to use that one (modifying the texture to remove the scar that is present in the other Sith Apprentice texture) for a few NPCs? Thanks! PS - I just checked the restored female Asian head and I noticed some color weirdness/mismatch, as the screenshot here shows. Not something as egregious as in the Dirty Commoner Female case, but something that perhaps could also be addressed?

I'd be interested in the bigger fonts, mostly.

Hello, Blue! I have used 1.4.0 version of your Scripting Tool for some years and recently I updated it to the newest version but I quickly uninstalled in favor of the older one because I find it changed a few things I didn't like in the least and I didn't seem to find any settings to change back to the former behavior. The new version seems to need the include sources in the folder where you save the .nss file rather than just go look for it in the game's override like it used to be and, if none is there, take it straight from the game's source scripts. This is terribly inconvenient and once I even got a dozens compiling error messages about a boolean being used multiple times (sorry, I don't remember the exact message). When I reverted to the older version and compiled the very same script, it all went smoothly. This latest part is likely related to a mistake I made so please disregard it. Also, it would be good to be able to select a path for Tool to save the compiled file to. By default, the program installs in Program Files(x86) and in Windows 10 that spells disaster because the Tool attempts to save the compiled file in the same folder it installed to but I guess Windows 10 castrates the attempt and the Tool has no warning whatsoever about it. The result is that the compiled script is never created.

Thanks for this pretty Xmas gift, JC!

I think it is a very interesting mod! I always refused to play with Widescreen and higher resolution just because of the fonts being too small. Not much of a TSL player though. If you ever release a version for KotOR I will surely want to give it a try.

I commend this initiative! Personally, I love the Sith's Energy Shield and I like the standard Energy Shield, the Echani's and Yusani's.

Oh yes, of course.

The final revision of this restoration is done. Huge thanks to @PapaZinosfor help with room modelling. SithSoldiersBoarding.mp4

Hello, InSidious. Thank you for a commendable effort. But from what I understand dumping .are files in the override seems really a bad choice. I am no TSL Patcher expert but couldn't you just ship the modification with .mod files for each module whose .are you are changing and let the TSL Patcher patch the .are files inside them? Cheers!

JC, I was wondering if you could possibly further improve the K1R compatible option of your modification by spawning Carth in the apartment (since you have already made the area substitution) and have the camera on him so that the two voiced lines he speaks would not just be on a completely black screen and then run a pretty long (4-5 secs) fadeout by the end.

Well, personally I find K1 CP to be the one and only true mandatory modification for KotOR (possibly together with a good dialog.tlk replacement - there are several available). Because it is actually a patch and the number of bugs it fixes is astounding. DarthParametric is the current maintainer and he's done and is still doing as today an excellent job at making the game run as good as it can be. K1R is a much older project which is unfortunately no longer updated and it does include its own share of bugs so choosing K1 CP over K1R is a no brainer. But there is lots of good restorations in K1R as well and the good news is that N-DreW25 is working on a "lite" version which is compatible with K1 CP.

Hello! Does anyone know (DP, JC?) if GetIsInConversation() works properly and if it returns true for both the object starting the conversation and the target of the conversation? Thanks!

Thanks to precious input and help from @brents742I have come to a possible final version of this. There is space for further improvement (better camera placements, additional props / creatures roaming the hangar) but I think this is already a big improvement over the original restoration. Here's a video of it I uploaded on my YouTube channel.

The Ebon Hawk doesn't need to show up there. It's been boarded so it's off camera. I just need to have a proper hangar rather than a bare, empty floor and a missing wall at the horizon.

Hello! I was wondering if someone could help me improve the looks of what supposedly should be a hangar room by adding appropriate items (including a wall, I guess) to it. The room was created by the K1R team for the Sith's boarding of the Ebon Hawk on the Leviathan. While it serves its purpose it is extremely bare and is in need of some renovation. I post a couple of images here and then the .mdl/.mdx file of the room in case someone might want to lend a hand with this (working with models is not my thing). I have already made some quality-of-life improvements to the K1R scene which I am showing in the video so I just need a visual upgrade for the room in order to call this restoration complete.

The best thing to do is report the issue to the author of Holocron toolset in the proper thread. This is a very promising and very actively maintained tool we're talking about, with an author that's been very present and receptive to feedback since start.

Hello, N-DReW25! I was checking this interesting modification of yours and I wanted to ask you a question. What needed fixing in the Sith Apprentice Soundset?

I have been glad to use this modification for quite some time but I did notice how the flowing cape animation pales compared to the cape animation used in JC's K1 Imported Supermodel. So my question is: would it be possible to replace the current cape animation for those robes with the better one? I suspect it may be quite the work, if it is even possible at all, but I thought there was no harm in asking.

KnifeMaster, I forgot that I believe I have fixed the issue at a later stage, actually, by switching the party leader twice during the process. I'm not 100% sure though I will be able to confirm it once I do my next playing test (might be far away).

It's weird since I am quite confident that many modders here are using the tool on Windows 10 without needing to go through any extra process. I notice that the version I use is 2.3.2 though so it may be that.
