View File Aligned Revan Hologram for TSLRCM Changes the appearance of the Revan hologram in TSLRCM to reflect your dialogue choices at the beginning of the game. SUMMARY TSLRCM restores a cutscene featuring a hologram recording of Revan. The scene is slightly different depending on your dialogue choices at the start of the game. However, no matter what you choose, Revan still appears in their Sith Lord getup. With this mod, if you chose the LS option at the beginning of the game, Revan will now appear in masked Star Forge robes. This mod also adjusts the orientation of some of the characters to make the scene look a little more natural. TSLRCM is required to use this mod. INSTALLATION Make sure TSLRCM is installed. Run HoloPatcher.exe to install the mod. Unaltered copies of any modified files will be placed inside the "backup" folder in the location of HoloPatcher.exe. UNINSTALLATION Remove appearance.2da, a_t3_candrec.ncs, revanholo_light.utc, and jedirevanholo.tga from override. If any files were created inside the backup folder, move them to override. COMPATIBILITY Compatible with and dependent on TSLRCM. Should be compatible with any other mods as long they don’t modify the affected cutscene, specifically the script a_t3_candrec.ncs. PERMISSIONS Feel free to use this mod however you want as long as the credits listed below are included.

View File AxC's Kavar's Extended Choices Convince, push the blame, or gaslight your favorite Jedi Master to spare him… Or be the one swayed in return! Description: This mod allows players who take General Vaklu’s route on Onderon to complete the questline without having to kill Master Kavar. This can be achieved (or failed) through various dialogue paths, exploring different topics such as proving General Vaklu to be the best choice for Onderon, convincing Kavar that he is fighting a battle he cannot win, guilt-tripping him, and more. The main focus of the mod is to add more interactions with Kavar, who was a mentor and a friend to the Exile — a connection that was scarcely explored in the vanilla game. It also adds complexity to Onderonian politics, allowing the player to shape Onderon's future without the necessity of killing a Jedi. Additionally, this mod allows players who initially sided with Vaklu to betray him and switch sides at the last possible moment. In newest update, you also have the option to imprison Talia instead of outright executing her. Key Features: Spare Master Kavar and meet him later on Dantooine, without following the “light” path on Onderon. Change sides after sparring with Master Kavar, keeping Queen Talia on the throne. End Kavar’s life prematurely, skipping his third-phase fight. Multiple ways to persuade Kavar, allowing you to roleplay your character in various ways. Regardless of how you dealt with Kavar, you can now convince Vaklu to spare Talia. Notes: The mod is unvoiced. After careful consideration, I decided against using voice cloning or synthesizing due to the controversial attitudes toward such practices. If you decide to join Talia after sparring with Kavar, there will be no reward from the Queen after completing the storyline — you did ransack her city, after all! Some dialogue paths will require you to have neutral or light alignment to succeed. Force Persuasion requires you to have the "Dominate Mind" ability; otherwise, it will fail. Bugs: There is a known issue, possibly unrelated to this mod, where during the final fight against Vaklu, the General refuses to defend himself. Many players have reported this problem, which can interfere with the mod’s thematic elements. Unfortunately, I am unsure of the cause or how to fix it, so any help would be appreciated. The Lost Jedi quest will not be updated, and the Master of the Palace quest will still state Kavar died alongside Talia, even if your spared them on Vaklu's path. Will be fixed in the future.

View File Harbinger Arrival Tweaks Contains two changes to the Harbinger docking sequence on Peragus. Install either or both, your choice: Harbinger Arrival: Free Cam Unlocks the camera during the Harbinger arrival animation, so you can have the eerie experience of walking alongside the huge ship as it pulls closer. I think it's more ominous this way (and as a bonus, if you're replaying and don't want to watch again, you can rush through without waiting for the whole animation.) Harbinger Arrival: Restore Movie TSLRCM replaces the single movie when the Harbinger arrives at Paragus with a 3-step sequence: a movie, an in-engine cut scene, then another movie. This puts the original movie back while keeping all the other TSLRCM changes. Why do that? The main reason to prefer the in-engine cut scene is that the original movie looks awful - space shots of the ship arriving can get away with a fuzzy low resolution, since they're so different from the gameplay, but the middle section really suffers by comparison. But, Naelavok's Remastered (Upscaled) Cutscenes improve the movie quality enough to compete with the rendering. PapaZinos' Harbinger Arrival Performance Enhancement mod does a lot of great work to make the cut scene smoother and fixes a lot of glitches, but on my machine (with the upscaled movies) there's still a loading delay when switching from a movie, to an in-engine rendering, back to a movie. The single movie has smooth fades, so it has better pacing for this important scene. I still recommend the Performance Enhancement mod, though, because it fixes a lot of other glitches in the sequence, and it greatly improves another brief cut scene after the Harbinger arrives. To make sure PapaZinos' hard work on the in-engine rendering doesn't go to waste, I used it to add a little improvement to that cutscene as well... Compatibility Restore Movie isn't needed with vanilla KOTOR2. Free Cam works with it. Both work with TSLRCM with or without the Harbinger Arrival Performance Enhancement. Install this after both of those, and anything else that modifies the Harbinger arrival sequence. Tested with the KOTOR2 Spoiler-Free Mod Build (which includes the Performance Enhancement), but it should work with the Full Mod Build too.

View File Streamlined Peragus The opening act of The Sith Lords gets a bad rap. It's actually very atmospheric and gives a great introduction to the themes of the game (especially if you install a skin like A Darker Peragus). It only has one real problem: it's too long and repetitive. Especially since TSL rewards replaying to try different paths, it can be a chore to get through at the beginning of a new game. This cuts out about a quarter of the length without sacrificing any plot points, by removing a large section that doesn't reveal anything new, and changing some frustrating level design decisions that add delays and backtracking without adding meaningful choices. This should give new players a better opening experience to the game, as well as letting experienced players get through the first segment faster. The full list of changes is below, if you want spoilers: I recommend also installing my Harbinger Arrival: Free Cam mod, which speeds up a long unskippable animation sequence. It's separate so that it can be installed on its own for people who don't want the more drastic changes in Streamlined Peragus. Compatibility Requires TSLRCM. Tested with the Full Mod Build and the Spoiler-Free Mod Build. Install this after them. Also compatible with my Harbinger Arrival Tweaks. Install them in any order. Modifies the map of 103PER (Fuel Depot), so this will conflict with any other mod that replaces 103per.lyt or 103per.vis.

View File The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification - LOTO's Xbox Version It's finally here! At last, The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification 1.8.6 has been successfully ported to the original Xbox. The game is now able to be fully completed from beginning to end with zero major issues. This upload is in the form of patched files that must be added on top of an existing installation of the mod. Requirements -An original Xbox capable of launching homebrew (soft or hardmodded) -Some method to transfer files between your Xbox and PC (FTP is recommended) -At least 5GB of space on your Xbox's HDD -A physical copy of Knights of the Old Republic II for the Xbox Installation 1. IMPORTANT! If you have previously dumped the first Knights of the Old Republic game to your Xbox, ensure that you change the folder it's located in from its default ("StarWars") to any other name. If you do not do this, both games will end up dumped into the same folder, ruining both installations 2. Use UnleashX to dump your game disc to your Xbox's HDD. Other methods of dumping the game may be possible, but I can only promise it works using UnelashX 3. FTP the entire game folder to your PC, and create an additional backup of it on your PC in the event you need to restart the installation 4. Run the official TSLRCM 1.8.6 installer .exe, which you can find here: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/578-tsl-restored-content-mod/ 5. Specify the Xbox dump of the game as the folder to which the mod should be installed. (i.e. D:\Games\SWKotOR2\). When in doubt, it's the folder with "default.xbe" located inside it 6. Delete the following files from the newly created Override folder: 235TEL.lyt, 235TEL.vis, 235TELA.mdl, 235TELA.mdx, and 235TELA.wok, 7. Delete every .tga file from Override 8. [IF YOUR XBOX DOES NOT HAVE THE 128MB RAM UPGRADE] Delete 601DAN.mod from Modules 9. Extract the contents of the Clean Install Package into the root game folder, overwriting any files if asked 10. Delete the original, unmodified rip of KotOR II on your Xbox's HDD 11. FTP the modified KotOR II back to your console in a location of your choosing 12. Verify your install. In semi-rare cases, files may become corrupt during the transfer process. Compare the amount of bytes the game folder takes up on both your Xbox and your PC. If there is a mismatch, either repeat the transfer and compare again or simply narrow down which folders on the Xbox don't match the PC equivalent To update from 1.0 or 1.1 to 1.2: 1) Delete any file that starts with "003ebo..." from Override 2) Extract the "Update from 1.0 or 1.1" install package into the game directory, overwriting any files if asked Known Issues -The Battle of Khoonda currently does function on stock consoles and requires a 128MB RAM upgrade to work properly. The restored version of this sequence spawns so many NPCs that it causes the stock Xbox to choke to death on its own assets within seconds of the battle starting, so step 8 of the installation instructions remove the module file that adds the battle. If you would like to see this happen (not recommended) or have an upgraded Xbox, simply don't delete 601DAN.mod from the Modules folder. -On very rare occasions, a significant performance drop may occur during combat that passes after a few seconds. This may or may not be an issue with the Xbox version and may or may not be related to Jedi Guardian characters not currently controlled by the player initiating a Force Jump, but it's so uncommon that diagnosing it is difficult. If you would like to contribute to fixing the last few remaining issues, feel free to DM me and I will be happy to implement your fixes in a future update. Frequently Asked Questions: Will this work on Xbox 360/Xemu/Xbone/Xbox Series S/X? The short answer is that I don't know. I don't have any of that gear to test with, but anything that's capable of launching a game rip shouldn't have any issues. I make no promises, though. Why does the installation require deleting so many files? Is there content missing from the mod? The only content from TSLRCM that hasn't made it into this port for stock Xboxes is the battle of Khoonda (contained in 601DAN.mod) since it spawns more NPCs than the Xbox can handle. If your Xbox has a 128MB RAM upgrade, this content is available and fully functional (Thanks to Hellraiser988 and iroiry) Every other removed file is redundant. The .tga files have all been converted to .txb and resized to work on Xbox, and the 235TEL files in Override have been consolidated into their own .rim files in the rimsxbox folder and no longer need to be present in Override. Do I have to use UnleashX to rip the game? Not necessarily. However, some methods of dumping Xbox games purposefully leave out some files to conserve HDD space and that could pose an issue. I used UnleashX to dump my own copy and that's what I used to port the mod, so I can guarantee it works. Use other methods of acquiring a dump of the game at your own risk. Will you be porting [insert mod here] to the Xbox? Maybe. It's a decent workload and some mods require a lot more tinkering than others, so it just comes down to what (if any) I'm interested in. Fortunately, if you've managed to dump your copy of KotOR II to your Xbox, you have exactly as much modding experience as I had when I started this project; so feel free to take matters into your own hands. Is there a widescreen patch for the Xbox? Will you make one? As far as I'm aware there is not a widescreen patch for the Xbox version of the game and I have less than zero interest in making one. Play the game in 4:3. It's better that way. I'm experiencing the dialogue skipping bug and/or frequent mysterious game crashes. What do I do? Some files probably got corrupted during the FTP process. It happens sometimes and there's nothing I can do about it. Repeat step 12 of the installation instructions. If your game folder on the Xbox's HDD is exactly the amount of bytes it is on your PC, contact me either via DM on Deadly Stream or Discord (_LOTO_) Special Thanks Though this is my release of the port, and I have been the one to do all of the labour in putting it together, this would not have been possible without assistance from various members of the KotOR community including, but not limited to: -Alvar007, for advising on various fixes, both major and minor, and contributing to the s_male02.mdl/.mdx fix -Jacqyl Frost, for offering to playtest the mod -JCarter426, for technical support, bugfixes, and creating SithCodec -Thor110, for technical support -armado548, for pioneering much of the early steps of the process and leaving enough of a paper trail for me to pickup on -bead-v, creator of MDLEdit -Fair Strides, creator of ERFEdit and DLG Editor -Darth_Sapiens, creator of KOTOR TOOL -Blue, for creating KotOR Scripting Tool -Monochrome Jones, for creating the "LOTO's Xbox Version" text in the logo -The original TSLRCM team, for creating the mod in the first place -Sith Holocron, for creating and implementing the in-game logos for the mod -Jacd28, for contributing to the s_male02.mdl/.mdx fix -darthbdaman, for providing the Visas lightsaber training fix -Hellraiser988 and iroiry, for verifying that the Battle of Khoonda works with a RAM upgraded Xbox If you don't see your name here and feel as though you contributed to the project, I apologize!

Play the game in 4:3. It's better that way. I'm experiencing the dialogue skipping bug and/or frequent mysterious game crashes. What do I do? Some files probably got corrupted during the FTP process. It happens sometimes and there's nothing I can do about it. Repeat step 12 of the installation instructions. If your game folder on the Xbox's HDD is exactly the amount of bytes it is on your PC, contact me either via DM on Deadly Stream or Discord (_LOTO_) Special Thanks Though this is my release of the port, and I have been the one to do all of the labour in putting it together, this would not have been possible without assistance from various members of the KotOR community including, but not limited to: -Alvar007, for advising on various fixes, both major and minor, and contributing to the s_male02.mdl/.mdx fix -Jacqyl Frost, for offering to playtest the mod -JCarter426, for technical support, bugfixes, and creating SithCodec -Thor110, for technical support -armado548, for pioneering much of the early steps of the process and leaving enough of a paper trail for me to pickup on -bead-v, creator of MDLEdit -Fair Strides, creator of ERFEdit and DLG Editor -Darth_Sapiens, creator of KOTOR TOOL -Blue, for creating KotOR Scripting Tool -Monochrome Jones, for creating the "LOTO's Xbox Version" text in the logo -The original TSLRCM team, for creating the mod in the first place -Sith Holocron, for creating and implementing the in-game logos for the mod -Jacd28, for contributing to the s_male02.mdl/.mdx fix -darthbdaman, for providing the Visas lightsaber training fix -Hellraiser988 and iroiry, for verifying that the Battle of Khoonda works with a RAM upgraded Xbox If you don't see your name here and feel as though you contributed to the project, I apologize! Please DM me and I will add your name here without delay.- 36 comments

Hello, I'm doing some poking around the Restored Content Mod's files and I'd like to have an older version of the mod to compare to; specifically 1.7 (or any pre-1.8 versions, really). Unfortunately I can't seem to find any downloads for it online. Does anyone happen to have and old build of it lying around or archived? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

View File Harbinger Arrival: Free Cam NOTE: this is now packaged together with my other Harbinger Arrival mod as Harbinger Arrival Tweaks. Unlocks the camera during the Harbinger arrival animation, so you can have the eerie experience of walking alongside the huge ship as it pulls closer. I think it's more ominous this way (and as a bonus, if you're replaying and don't want to watch again, you can rush through without waiting for the whole animation.) Compatibility Tested with Vanilla KOTOR2, TSLRCM and the KOTOR2 Spoiler-Free Mod Build, but it should work with the Full Mod Build too. Install this after TSLRCM and anything else that modifies the Harbinger arrival sequence, such as the Harbinger Arrival Performance Enhancement (which is included in the mod build). Also compatible with my Harbinger Arrival: Restore Movie mod. Install them in either order.

View File Harbinger Arrival: Restore Movie NOTE: this is now packaged together with my other Harbinger Arrival mod as Harbinger Arrival Tweaks. TSLRCM replaces the single movie when the Harbinger arrives at Paragus with a 3-step sequence: a movie, an in-engine cut scene, then another movie. This puts the original movie back while keeping all the other TSLRCM changes. Why do that? The main reason to prefer the in-engine cut scene is that the original movie looks awful - space shots of the ship arriving can get away with a fuzzy low resolution, since they're so different from the gameplay, but the middle section really suffers by comparison. But, Naelavok's Remastered (Upscaled) Cutscenes improve the movie quality enough to compete with the rendering. PapaZinos' Harbinger Arrival Performance Enhancement mod does a lot of great work to make the cut scene smoother and fixes a lot of glitches, but on my machine (with the upscaled movies) there's still a loading delay when switching from a movie, to an in-engine rendering, back to a movie. The single movie has smooth fades, so it has better pacing for this important scene. I still recommend the Performance Enhancement mod, though, because it fixes a lot of other glitches in the sequence, and it greatly improves another brief cut scene after the Harbinger arrives. To make sure PapaZinos' hard work on the in-engine rendering doesn't go to waste, I used it to add a little improvement to that cutscene as well... Compatibility Not needed with vanilla TSL. Works with TSLRCM with or without the Harbinger Arrival Performance Enhancement. Tested with the KOTOR2 Spoiler-Free Mod Build, but it should work with the Full Mod Build too. Install this after TSLRCM and Harbinger Arrival Performance Enhancement. Also compatible with my Harbinger Arrival: Free Cam mod. Install them in either order.

I have a problem. I recently wanted to play TSL again but I decided to install the Polish version of TSLRCM and I installed the Polish translation and the items from TSLRCM don't have a name or anything other than that they are there + on the planets that are in the mod, when I talk to someone they don't have any dialogue options and I have to force quit the game because I can't tell them anything. I've tried uninstalling every mod except these 2, or having just one, and uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, and I've also tried installing TSLRCM from another source (I didn`t found the Polish translation anywhere other than Steam) and nothing works. Can anyone help?

In 2017, @Kexikus created a spreadsheet to list all of KotOR 1's modules and their corresponding Day, Night and Battle music. @Sith Holocron requested a TSL version of such list, though none of the sort has been made, so I decided to volunteer the task myself. Here you go: The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) + M4-78 Enhancement Project (M4-78EP) modules and music overview spreadsheet This spreadsheet covers all the modules from both TSLRCM and M4-78EP. Like in K1, the module codes can be used for the warp cheat code (for example, warp 003EBO). All music tracks are listed with their number corresponding to their row in ambientmusic.2da, their file name (the music files can be found in the StreamMusic folder) and their track title as identified with their TLK (dialog.tlk) StrRef. I have also included previews of the music by linking to YouTube in the spreadsheet. Hope you will find this spreadsheet helpful. Enjoy!

Hello all. I've run into this problem numerous times in the past few years (seemingly since upgrading past Windows 7 years ago, maybe even an earlier version of Windows). When playing Kotor 2, I get to Nar Shaddaa and when I attempt to do the part where your party boards G0-T0's yacht, the game crashes. Now, to be clear, it crashes at the exact same point every time, which is just before your player character has the conversation with G0-T0's hologram (specifically at the loading screen just before this module). I've tried most of the usual suggestions, including toggling DisableVertexBufferOptions, using console commands to skip directly to that module (which crashes the game just the same as if I went through the conversation with the Sullustan and watched the setup videos), and various other options without any success. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. Now, I do have mods installed, namely TSLRCM and Heroes of the Old Republic (which, I know can conflict in minor ways, however I've been able to use the two together to get through a playthrough in the past, so I know that's not the issue). However, I have also in the past tried deleting all mods besides TSLRCM and I still get the crash at the same spot. I even think it happens without any mods installed, though I can't remember the last time I tried that. I'm currently running the Steam version, though I've used the disc version as well and gotten the same issue both times, so I don't think it's that. Anyone have any suggestions? This is literally my favorite game, and I'm tired of having it break whenever I get to this accursed planet. Thanks in advance (and sorry for the long post, brain dump after a long day).

View File Harbinger's Arrival Performance Enhancement for TSLRCM Full Description: The mysterious arrival of the Republic hammerhead warship is one of the most ambitious and engaging cutscenes in TSL. Unfortunately, ambitious cutscenes can be a harbinger for more than just a man with severe psoriasis -- players may experience issues ranging from cutscenes stuttering and looping, loading screens before and after loading a new module mid-cutscene, breaking animations, to game windows minimizing and skipping the cutscene entirely, permanent black screen, and even game crashes. Thus this mod's mission was twofold: 1) Provide a range of general improvements and fixes that everyone will benefit from regardless of cutscene performance, as well as 2) Create a more stable version of the cutscene that generally performs well on any device. I am happy to report that results have been exciting: 1) General improvements - Atton now always faces the correct direction when speaking to you - Kreia actually shows up meditating in the morgue when you hear her speak, rather than standing right behind Atton - Kreia no longer visibly stands behind Atton in certain earlier shots of him speaking - The Peragus mining facility asteroid is no longer right outside the Harbinger window before it actually enters the asteroid field 2) Performance improvements All in-game portions of the cutscene are now rendered in the same module -- your game will no longer be trying to load an entirely new module twice over, all while trying to play pre-rendered cutscenes. This means that your game's mid-cutscene workload has been drastically reduced, and so issues known to occur specifically with the Harbinger Arrival cutscene are much less frequent. I have also scripted in "guardrails" for many minor glitches that can occur mid-cutscene. Note that this is not a 100% guarantee players who were having issues before never will again; TSL is nearly old enough to be legally considered an adult in the US, and its pre-rendered scenes are just not optimized for many modern machines. However, this mod was tested on a non-gaming laptop now a few years old, with the game running from an external hard disk drive, on a modern operating system, in full-screen mode, with several different visual mods installed. This meant that attempting to run the original Harbinger cutscene 10 times translated to the cutscene failing to play without major issue 10 times. After switching to the new version, any types of issues, major or minor, were encountered less than 1 out of 10 times. Hopefully, even a potato from your local grocery store can now successfully play the Harbinger Arrival cutscene, so long as it can generally play most TSL cutscenes successfully. Harbinger Enhancement_compressed.mp4 For reference when it comes to performance, this footage was recorded on an old laptop, with the game running on a modern operating system from a hard disk drive, with multiple other programs running in the background, and the following mods installed that can be seen in the video: - Ultimate Peragus Models Repair 1.2 (responsible for restoring proper lighting to the Harbinger, showing the administration level proper behind Atton, and other model fixes) - Harbinger Bridge Repairs (responsible for fixing several geometry errors, two visible during cutscene) - KotOR 2 Remastered (AI Upscaled) Cutscenes 1.0.0 by Naelavok (responsible for the upscaled pre-rendered scenes) - TSL Backdrop Improvements by Kexikus (responsible for the much-improved skybox seen from both the catwalk and the Harbinger bridge) - Improved Peragus Asteroid Fields 1.2 by Vasilii Zaytsev (responsible for the static 3d asteroids surrounding Peragus II) - Peragus Large Monitor Adjustment by Sith Holocron (responsible for that excellent HD computer monitor before Atton) - Kotor 2 Unlimited Worlds Texture Mod (responsible for the nicer-looking textures throughout the level, from the catwalk to the asteroids) - Ultimate Character Overhaul REDUX (responsible for the HD character textures) TLDR: This mod 1) stabilizes the Harbinger cutscene so that your game is much less likely to experience issues 2) places Kreia in her usual meditation spot in the morgue for her dialogue, and 3) fixes a number of minor issues with the cutscene. Installation: Download and run the installer, or else follow manual installation instructions. For Steam installations of TSLRCM, direct the installer to "Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\208580\485537937", and not the main game folder with the executable. 7z files can be extracted with Archive Utility on macOS, or with programs like PeaZip for windows and Linux. The installer is a .exe file, which can be run natively on Windows, or with programs like Wine for macOS and Linux. For an existing game, use a save file before going to the asteroid exterior. Save files made any later will not be affected. Uninstallation: Take 104per.mod out of the provided backup folder and place it in your modules folder at the location you installed to, and select replace when prompted. Take a_con_atton_end.ncs out of the provided backup folder and place it in your override folder at the location you installed to, and select replace when prompted. You can safely delete 104per.lyt and 104per.vis from your override folder. The files 104pera.mdl/.mdx/.wok come from Ultimate Peragus Models Repair, you can keep or delete these at your discretion. Additional Tips For Improving Game Performance: If you are having trouble running pre-rendered scenes in general, you can try the following: -- Go into your graphics settings, and under advanced options, disable frame buffering. If that does not work, try lowering or disabling all options. If the pre-rendered cutscene plays afterwards, you can up your graphics settings afterwards for normal gameplay. -- Try running the game in windowed mode, rather than fullscreen. Close your game and open "swkotor2.ini", found in the same folder as your main game executable (for a Steam game, that's "Steam\steamapps\common\Knights of the Old Republic II"). Under both "Display Options" and "Graphics Options", change "FullScreen=1" to "FullScreen=0". Restart your game. -- Uninstall/disable any non-essential mods that may relate to the cutscene or the area it takes place in. Peragus in particular also suffers from memory overflow if you play the game too long in one sitting. This can cause dialogue to start skipping, or for issues with game cutscenes. This can usually be avoided by: -- Quitting and restarting the game once in a while: doing it once before heading out to the asteroid surface, and again right before attempting to leave the Harbinger engine deck (the third and final level with the spooky lights) is usually enough to avoid problems. -- Avoiding skipping dialogue yourself, which can sometimes lead to memory overflow. If you do skip a lot of dialogue, quitting and restarting the game will fix the issue. Compatibility: Users should expect full compatibility with any other mods, so long as they make no modifications to the scripting or dialogue of the Harbinger's Arrival cutscene. For instance, if you are installing N-DReW's Mini Mod Collection for TSL, be sure not to add the included 104atton.dlg or 104kreia.dlg to your override, or remove it if you already have, as that would create a major incompatibility. This mod is for players using TSLRCM version 1.8.3 or higher. You may view this mod's changes.ini inside the "tslpatchdata" folder for a complete list of every altered module element. Feel free to check out "KotOR 2 Remastered (AI Upscaled) Cutscenes" by Naelavok for higher-resolution cutscenes, if you have not already. There are some other great mods out there that improve the visual quality of the cutscene. "Peragus Large Monitor Adjustment" by Sith Holocron, "KotOR 2 Unlimited World Texture Mod" by facemeltingsolo, "TSL Backdrop Improvements by Kexikus", and "Ultimate Peragus Models Repair" by yours truly are all compatible with this mod. "A Darker Peragus REDUX" by Malkior and "... A Darker Peragus" by Canderis are also compatible. Acknowledgments: Big thanks to Cortisol for the Holocron Toolset and Fred Tetra for KotOR Tool for making file extraction, module editing, and .mod file building easy, Fair Strides for the DLG Editor, JdNoa and Dashus for simple script decompiling with DeNCS, Blue for the KotOR Scripting Tool, Symmetric, Purifier, Ndix UR, and seedhartha for making importing to Blender simple using KotORBlender, and to Stoffe and Fair Strides for easy .mod extraction with ERFEdit, and for making inter-mod compatibility infinitely more feasible with TSLPatcher.

When ever I try to install the mod its pops up with a language for where I install the mod and I cant choose where its installed
-
Alrighty, so I went and downloaded the Deadlystream version of the Restored Content Mod, after uninstalling then reinstalling Kotor 2 from Steam while previously also unsubbing from the mods on the workshop. I got help from Darth Varkour on the installing of it, however; When I go to play; Everything is fine until I get to where Atton is. He talks as usual, then i get a loading screen and see Sion. I am then teleported inside the Harbinger and try as I might I can no longer progress through the story. I have since redownloaded the Steam Version, to where this NEVER happened before. However, because I am looking to eventually get more mods(maybe a graphics upgrade or hell, Kotor 3 Jedi Masters), I really wanna figure this out.

Are Mods that are compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.5 compatible with MTSLRCM 1.8.6?
