  1. [K1] "Fork" Short Lightsabers

    Coauthored with oldflash.
    Now available for KotOR I, a mere thirteen years after the original TSL release, thanks to the magic of MDLEdit.
    This mod adds a whole set of new short lightsabres - one for each lightsabre colour available in the game,
    and their crystals to the game. They can be found by the workbench in the Enclave on Dantooine,
    but only after you leave the Enclave for the first time after becoming a Jedi.
    The box is spawned when you speak to the droid at the exit from the Enclave and it says
    “The Council has decreed you may come and go as you please” for the first time.
    For the mod to work, you need to have not been to Dantooine yet, or at least, not undergone Jedi training.
    Installation

    Just double-click on the "Install "Fork" Short Lightsabres" icon to begin the installation. Do not attempt manual installation - it will not work.
    Don't worry about fiddling with the Source Scripts or Screenshots folders - they are not required for the mod to run.
     
    Known Conflicts
    As far as I know, this mod shouldn't conflict with many that are out there,
    but will conflict with any mod which alters the file dan13_jdroid.dlg.
    So far as I am aware, the only mod to alter that file was a robe mod which is no longer available,
    so this issue shouldn’t arise.
    Known Bugs
    None that I know of at present. Again, please let me know if you find any.

  2. [K1] Environment Map Restoration

    [K1] Defaultenvmap Restoration
    By Darth InSidious
    Description
    Both KotOR games were designed to have environment mapping, i.e., reflections on armours and weapons that
    looked like the area the player character was in, rather than generic shinyness.
    In the default game, this is switched off, perhaps for performance reasons. This mod partially restores this
    feature, using the environment maps for the game which Obsidian included in the default game files.
    As a result, not every area has environment maps, but I have been able to enable the feature in about 80 areas,
    listed below. This includes the Ebon Hawk and parts of every planet (and large ship, and space station) in the game, except the
    Yavin space station.
    This mod is intended as much as a proof-of-concept as a restoration in itself. A full restoration would likely
    require cube-mapping all the areas in the game, which I don't have the time or resources to do. If someone
    feels like doing that, and knows how, let me know.
    The full list of areas included in this mod is:
    m01aa
    m01ab

    m02ac

    Known bugs and compatibility issues
    Because each area has only one environment map, sometimes the reflections will be wrong for a given part of an area
    which looks different. Also, because of the limited number of environment maps included in the game, I have
    reused several of them in different places. Hopefully this isn't too obvious, but it may mean that the environment
    mapping isn't always exact.
    The mod currently installs as a series of .are files directly into your Override. This is because it's
    difficult otherwise to take account of .mod files with the same filename as the game's default .rim area files,
    so it was difficult to make the mod work with, e.g., K1R modules.
    This mod hasn't been tested for compatibility with K1R, but I don't anticipate issues for the most part,
    since the .are file isn't used for much that can be modded.
    *Nevertheless, this mod *may* cause some compatibility issues in some areas with K1R.*
    Installation
    Double click on "[K1] Install Defaultenvmap restoration", and hit the "install mod" button.
    Uninstallation
    Delete the .are files from your Override folder, and restore the baseitems.2da file
    backup made by TSLPatcher on install, and placed in the "backup" folder.
    If no such baseitems.2da backup exists (i.e., you haven't used any other mods that modify this file)
    simply delete baseitems.2da from your override folder.

  4. [K1/TSL] Modder's Resource - Holocrons

    This pack contains two major elements. First, images for use as icon files,
    depicting one (blue) Jedi holocron and one Sith holocron.
     
    Second, it contains two placeable files and accompanying textures, for one
    (blue) Jedi holocron and one Sith holocron, on pedestals.
     
    There are versions of these models for KotOR I and KotOR II.
     
    N.B.: This is not a mod. Placing these files in your Override folder
    on their own will have no effect on your game whatsoever.
     
    Permissions
    You may use and modify these files however you wish in any mod that you wish, with
    three conditions:
     
    First, you must credit me in the Readme file or other mod descriptions
    (i.e., TSLPatcher info.rtf, or the file description online) as the original author
    of these files.
     
    Second, you must include a copy of this readme file with any mod released containing
    any or all of these resources.
     
    Third, that you may not reupload these files, unaltered and on their own, to
    any website without my expressed, written permission. This does not mean you
    need my permission to include them in a mod, or to upload modified versions,
    I just don't want this modder's resource mirrored all over the web
    without my knowledge.
     
    Known Bugs/Issues
    - The Sith holocron pedestal has some UV map issues.
    Attempts to fix this only broke the holocron model itself.
     
    Credits and Thanks
    - Thanks to Quanon, VarsityPuppet, and Marius Fett for their help with the models;
    - thanks also to Zhaboka, Sith Holocron, newbiemodder, Fallen Guardian, Warlord664, Quanon, Marius Fett, Canderis, DarthAnsem, SithSpecter, Slstoev, CptPriceless, kyrie, and Fair Strides 2 for their feedback and comments on the mod these were made for as it progressed;
    - to Fred Tetra for the truly awesome KotOR tool and his nwnsscomp conversion;
    - to Holowan Labs for remaining by far the best place to work on KotOR mods on the internet;
    - and to Obsidian, Bioware, and LucasArts, for making both KotOR games.

  5. [TSL] Lost Modules Pack

    Not really a mod, more of a modding resource. Here I've gathered the 7 most useful
    'lost' modules for KotOR 1 - that is, modules that had no .rim files, and were essentially
    just room models in the game files. Why do I say 'most useful'? There are a few more -
    one of which is a slice of corridor, and several bits of the Unknown World temple-top,
    but none of these are much different or much more useful than the already existing modules,
    or the ones I have packaged here. Neither are they particularly exemplary.
     
    And so, here they are. I would guess that the modules' functions would be:
     
    In 2006-7, I found a variety of 'lost' modules in KotOR I, which I released as a pack.
    This consisted mainly of areas for which area models, walkmesh and lightmaps existed
    in the game files, but no module file. I complied these for use.
     
    Shortly aftewards I found around three others for TSL, which I intended to release
    around the time of my release of another mod of mine. The mod got delayed, and I
    forgot about the lost modules for a long time, until reminded by VarsityPuppet.
     
    Unlike the KotOR I set, these don't appear to have been made for areas which were
    then unused, but were probably for test effects, or similar purposes. They are:
     
    000test - Empty, box-shaped room. The camera clips through the walls, like it
    does in most custom modules.
     
    000trl - Small, empty area with a foggy floor. Perhaps has something to do with
    the main menu, when completed by a character with the Sith Lord prestige
    class?
     
    999dia - Very large, flat plane, with walkmesh and lighting. Perhaps a test?
     
    Usage and credit
    I make no claim over usage - you may create and upload your own versions of this mod
    however and wherever you like - but please credit me appropriately.
     
    Please also do not upload or claim credit for an unmodified version of this mod elsewhere.
    It's just rude.

  6. 6 Player Heads

    Description
    This mod adds 6 new heads to the game - five male, and one female.
    The five male heads are based on Carth, Trask, Shaardan, and Gadon Thek
    from KotOR I, and Dhagon Ghent in KotOR II. The female head is based on the
    Peragus Medical Officer. Each head comes with its own set of Dark Side transitions.
    This mod was inspired by the 8 New Male Player Characters mod, released by
    The Ossus Keeper in 2005.
    The mod makes use of TSLPatcher, for easier installation and compatibility.
     
    Installation
    Double click on "Install 6 Player Heads for KotOR 2", and hit the "install mod" button.
    Known Bugs
    Known Bugs
    ----------
    - The Peragus Medical Officer head sometimes shows a line down the middle of the forehead. This
    is a defect in the model, which is not fixed.
    - The skin-tone of the Peragus Medical Officer head does not match the black female underwear skin.
    - The Gadon Thek head looks a bit disproportionate on some models. 😕
    - The portraits don't look the same or as good as the vanilla game ones. 😕
    - This mod was made using the 4CD version of the game, and textures may not look so good in the
    hi-res, Aspyr re-release.

  7. Ahto Transit Timetable

    Description
    This mod adds a small utility item to the game, the Ahto Transit Timetable.
    Basically, this allows the player to warp rapidly between the different modules in Ahto City.
    It's been given an in-world excuse to exist via a little dialogue and item description.
    The item is given to the player after the first cutscene on Manaan, or can be
    cheated into the game by typing "giveitem di_att" into the console.
    It will appear in the player's inventory, and can be activated from the same place
    you activate a stim or a shield.

    Installation
    Double click on "Install Ahto Transit Timetable", and hit the "install mod" button.
     
    Uninstallation
    Remove the following files from your Override folder:
    di_att.dlg
    di_att.uti
    di_att_01.ncs
    di_g_att.ncs
    di_man26aa.ncs
    di_man26ab.ncs
    di_man26ac.ncs
    di_man26ad.ncs
    di_man26ae.ncs
    You may additionally remove man26_sitharg.dlg, but only if you have installed no other mods affecting this file.

    Credits and Thanks
    Thanks to Sdub for the idea/request.

  8. Azgath N'Dul's Tomb

    This mod adds a new tomb to the Valley of the Dark Lords - the tomb of Azgath N'Dul.
    You will find it between the tombs of Ajunta Pall and Tulak Hord.
    A couple of robes will come out funny if you are using oldflash's Final Touch - The Chatos Robes, the Sith Lord Robes and the Robes of Azgath N'Dul.
    This is because of a model change that mod introduces.
    They won't crash your game, but they will look a bit odd.
     
    This mod adds: ten new robes, three new armours, four new weapons, two weapons I've released separately before,
    a new belt, a new pair of gloves and a new Force Power, not to mention many other items that can be created by the Force Transmutation Device.
    I've tried to keep the stats fairly balanced, but that's by my judgment.
     
    N.B.: Robes included in this mod may not be compatible with robe mods which you have installed.
     
    Please be sure to download kyrie's changes.ini fix before installing this mod (click here), and then the 2.2 patch.

  9. Azgath N'Dul's Tomb Patch

    Kemar Elim will now appear on Onderon after you arrive back there the second time, enabling
    the completion of the sidequest. He's out of the way of the soldiers, so you may have to
    search a little to find him. Also, be warned that you can _only_ start the quest the first time you
    go to Onderon. If you try to do so the second time, he won't speak to you.
     
    I've also cleaned things up with the holocron in the tomb a bit, so that it's less...messy. Hopefully,
    this will eliminate any errors.

  12. Camera Angle Options

    N.B.: Although uploaded for TSL, this mod may be used for either KotOR or KotOR II: TSL.
     
    This mod alters the default camera angles used by the game so that outside dialogues
    and cutscenes, your character will be viewed more distantly, as is more common in RPGs
    like 'NeverWinter Nights', 'Dungeon Siege' and 'Diablo'.
     
    There are four different options to choose from:
     
    Option I, No Combat - This option gives you a camera angle slightly closer to the
    character than normal which will show the upper half of your
    character from an angle above the player, but does not affect
    the camera angle while in combat.
     
    Option I, Combat - The same as above, but does affect the camera angle while in combat.
     
    Option II, No Combat - The same height, but a greater distance from the character,
    showing the whole of the character. This option does not affect
    the camera angle while in combat.
     
    Option II, Combat - The same as above, but this option does affect the camera angle while in combat.

  13. Combat Stance Swap

    I made a very similar mod to this a long time ago, but it seems it disappeared with PCGM and I no longer seem to have a copy.
     
    What it does is swap around the default flourish/stances used for melée weapons - the single blade flourish is replaced with the stun baton flourish and vice versa, the Echani-style flourish replaces the two melée weapon flourish and vice versa, and the double-blade flourish is replaced by the "Natural Attack" (or "Rocky Mode" ) flourish...Just look at the screenshot for details.

  14. Concept Loading Screens

    A very long time ago, a guy called Nur Ab Sal realised that the KotOR II loading screens were ugly, and decided to replace them with the concept art Obsidian drew up, instead.
     
    He did so, but his mod disappeared when PCGameMods was destroyed, and so I decided to repeat the job myself, because I got bored of the normal loading screens. I couldn't get all the same concept art as Nur Ab Sal, and in a few places had to improvise - nevertheless, where his mod replaced around 28 of roughly 80 loading screens, this mod will replace around 40, and is therefore worthy of release.

  15. Darksword

    This adds a new weapon, called a darksword, to the game. It is slightly less powerful
    than a lightsaber (base damage 2-14 [2d7], +1-4 electrical damage), and is what was used
    before the lightsaber was invented, particularly by the Sith. You will find the weapon
    (if you look hard enough) on the Harbinger. I’m not going to say where, so if you want it,
    be sure to check all over and not miss any compartments if possible.
     
    The mod is inspired by ChAiNz.2da’s Darksword mod for KotOR II, which he released back in 2005.
    While it’s a cool mod, I was never satisfied with the way the electrified blade looked in that
    mod, so I made this mod to rectify that.

  16. Darth Nihilus Robes

    These robes will make you look like Darth Nihilus, and have some very powerful stats.
    They were made on request for somebody, although I forget who now (sorry).
    You can get them in-game on Darth Nihilus'corpse, or by typing into the console 'giveitem a_robe_99'.
     
    I made this mod a long, long time ago, so the chances are that it's not compatible with TSLRCM.

  19. Dxun Holocron

    Introduction
    This mod adds a new holocron to the game, which can be found on a corpse on Dxun.
    In addition to giving the player bonuses to their maximum Force Points, which unlock at
    levels 12, 14, and 16, the mod also gives the player the opportunity to learn three
    new Lightsaber forms: Sokan (Form VIII), Shi'en (Form IX), and Niman/Jar'Kai (Form X),
    which can be activated as non-medical abilities. (The vanilla lightsaber forms are
    hard-coded in the game). This derives from an unreleased mod of mine made in 2005, in
    which I made these three Lightsaber Forms work as passive Force Powers. These Lightsaber
    Forms become available at levels 13, 15, and 17.
    Their stats are as follows:
    Sokan:
    Attack +3
    Damage Bonus +1
    Reflex Saves +3
    Defence Bonus 2
    Defence Bonus vs. Piercing -2 (net bonus: 0)
    Shi'en:
    Attack +3
    Damage Bonus +3
    Defence Bonus -2
    Blaster Deflect -2
    Reflex Saves -2
    Niman/Jar'Kai:
    Attack +2
    Offhand attack bonus +3
    Defence Bonus 1
    Fortitude Saves -1
    Installation
    Double click 'Install Dxun Holocron', and hit the 'Install mod' button.
     
    Uninstallation
    Remove the following files from your Override folder:
    di_d_gk1.ncs
    di_g_lf8.ncs
    di_g_lf9.ncs
    di_g_lf10.ncs
    di_gk1.utc
    di_jh_01.dlg
    di_jh_01.ncs
    di_jh_01.uti
    di_jhc.utp
    di_k2s_lf8.ncs
    di_k2s_lf9.ncs
    di_k2s_lf10.ncs
    di_k2s_lf8.uti
    di_k2s_lf9.uti
    di_k2s_lf10.uti
    di_s_gk1.ncs
    di_s_jhc.ncs
    ii_datapad_063.tga
    ii_datapad_064.tga
    ii_datapad_065.tga
    ii_datapad_066.tga
    Copy the files 'spells.2da' and 'globalcat.2da' from the backup folder created
    by TSLPatcher on installation into your Override folder. If no such folder was created
    on install by the game, you can (probably) safely delete these two files as well.
     
    Known Bugs
    The new Lightsaber Forms won't appear in the same place as the vanilla forms do
    on the GUI, but in the non-medical items slot (with the shields, basically).
    There's not a lot I can do about this; the Lightsaber forms appear to be hard-coded.
    Credits
    Thanks are to deathdisco, whose original KotOR I lightsaber forms mod inspired this one;
    to Darth333, stoffe, jmac7142/Det. Bart Lasiter, glovemaster, and everyone else who taught me and continues to teach me to script;
    to Darkkender, for his "Recruit Darkkender" mod, which I used to work out how to make the lightsaber forms work;
    to Holowan Labs, which was by far the best place to work on KotOR mods on the internet;
    and to Obsidian, Bioware, and LucasArts, for making both KotOR games.

  20. Environment Map Restoration

    [TSL] Defaultenvmap Restoration

    By Darth InSidious


     
    Description

    Both KotOR games were designed to have environment mapping, i.e., reflections on armours and weapons that

    looked like the area the player character was in, rather than generic shinyness.


     
    In the default game, this is switched off, perhaps for performance reasons. This mod partially restores this

    feature, using the environment maps for the game which Obsidian included in the default game files.

    As a result, not every area has environment maps, but I have been able to enable the feature in about 50 areas (out of c. 95),

    listed below. This includes numerous Ebon Hawk cutscene areas, parts of Peragus and Telos, a large part of Dxun,

    parts of Onderon, large parts of Dantooine, parts of Korriban and M478, and most of Malachor V.


    In addition to reflections on armour, this mod also adds back in reflections on most melee and ranged weapon types.

     
    This mod is intended as much as a proof-of-concept as a restoration in itself. A full restoration would likely

    require cube-mapping all the areas in the game, which I don't have the time or resources to do. If someone

    feels like doing that, and knows how, let me know.


     
    The full list of areas included in this mod is:

    003EBO

    004EBO

    005EBO

    006EBO

    Known bugs and compatibility issues

    Because each area has only one environment map, sometimes the reflections will be wrong for a given part of an area

    which looks different. Also, because of the limited number of environment maps included in the game, I have

    reused several of them in different places. Hopefully this isn't too obvious, but it may mean that the environment

    mapping isn't always exact.


    You may experience performance issues with this mod; I have not tested for this.

     
    The mod currently installs as a series of .are files directly into your Override. This is because it's

    difficult otherwise to take account of .mod files with the same filename as the game's default .rim area files,

    so it was difficult to make the mod work with, e.g., TSLRCM modules.


     
    This mod hasn't been tested for compatibility with TSLRCM, but I don't anticipate issues for the most part,

    since the .are file isn't used for much that can be modded.


     
    *Nevertheless, this mod *may* cause some compatibility issues in some areas with TSLRCM.*


     
    Installation

    Double click on "Install Defaultenvmap restoration", and hit the "install mod" button.


     
    Uninstallation

    Delete the .are files from your Override folder, and restore the baseitems.2da file

    backup made by TSLPatcher on install, and placed in the "backup" folder.


     
    If no such baseitems.2da backup exists (i.e., you haven't used any other mods that modify this file)

    simply delete baseitems.2da from your override folder.

    Description
     
    "We are going to empty your mind as you would empty your pockets..."
     
    I suddenly remembered a texture I made in about 2006 for a joke, which
    retextured G0T0 to resemble a character out of the film "Flash Gordon".
    So here it is.Enjoy, but remember that you only have thirteen hours to save the galaxy...

    Just drop the files "P_Gt.tga" and "P_Gt.txi" into your Override folder.

    Take them out again.
     
    Incompatibilities
    None that I can think of. The user's sense of taste, maybe?

  25. Four Force Powers

    This mod adds four new, three-tier Force Powers to KotOR - Rage, Scorch, Revitalise and Floating Lightsabres. 1 is Light Side, 1 is Dark Side, and there are two Universal Force Powers.
     
    You may recognise a few of these names from TSL or Jedi Academy, and that's because I have now recreated them for K1.
     
    Rage: Dark Side power, available at Level 13. Gives the user a bonus of +4 to Strength, +3 to Dexterity,+2 to Constitution for 20 seconds and a 50% speed bonus, while there is also a penalty of -3 to Intelligence, -2 to Wisdom, -1 to Charisma; after that the character's FPs are severely depleted, as are the character's VPs. Further, the penalties to Wisdom/Intelligence/Charisma remain, and the bonuses to Strength, Dexterity and Constitution are now penalties for 10 seconds.
     
    Knight Rage: Dark Side power, available at Level 16. Same as above, but the bonuses have increased to +4 STR, +4 DEX, +3 CON, and the penalty has increased to -4 STR, -3 DEX, -3 CON; the WIS/INT/CHA penalties remain the same.
     
    Master Rage: Dark Side power, available at Level 19. Same as above, but the bonuses have increased to STR +5, DEX +4, CON +4; the penalties remain the same.
     
    Revitalise: Light Side power, available at Level 9. Allows you to restore to life any non-droid party member killed in combat, restoring 10 VPs.
     
    Knight Revitalise: Light Side power, available at Level 12. Same as above, but will restore 20 VPs.
     
    Master Revitalise: Light Side power, available at Level 15. Same as above, but will restore 30 VPs.
     
    Scorch: Universal power, available at Level 9. Projects a spray of flame at the target, causing damage.
     
    Knight Scorch: Universal power, available at Level 12. Same as above, but does twice the damage.
     
    Master Scorch: Universal power, available at Level 15. Same as above Scorch, but does three times the damage.
     
    Floating Lightsabres I: Universal power, available at Level 10. Spawns a single lightsabre, to help you in combat, which lasts for 20 seconds . Without giving too much away, this should remind people who've played TSL of the final battle...These sabres will be a different colour depending on your alignment if you are Light Side – blue for guardians, green for consulars, yellow for sentinels, or red if you are Dark Side.
     
    Floating Lightsabres II: Universal power available at Level 13. Same as above, but spawns two lightsabres, which last for 30 seconds.
     
    Floating Lightsabres III: Universal power available at Level 16. Same as above, but spawns three lightsabres, which last for 40 seconds.
     
     
    Known Bugs:
    -The floating lightsabres have humanoid shadows. Sorry, but this seems to be someting to do with the game engine itself...
    -Some people - those with Radeon graphics cards, in particular - may run into some graphical issues - namely, the lightsabres appearing to have an all-black 'body'. I've tried to get rid of this effect, but have had no luck so far.
    -For some reason, I occasionally have problems with the KotOR Tool .utc editor when I use this mod. This may just be a problem for
    my system, though.
