View File Rebalanced Force Powers Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - Rebalanced Force Powers [K1] v1.0.0 By Timbo Overview The Force has undergone some dramatic changes in this mod. In the Vanilla game, Force powers are relatively inexpensive regardless of your Force alignment. Rebalanced Force Powers addresses this problem by introducing FP costs that increase as you upgrade the powers and a simplified alignment system that’s specifically designed to complement these scaling changes. Another major change is that Skills have incorporated into some of the force powers. Awareness now extends the duration of buff spells and Treat Injury increases the potency of healing powers. This mod, alongside it’s companion mod Rebalanced Grenades, should bring some much-needed attention to Kotor 1’s underdeveloped skills system. The powers themselves have had some important shakeups as well. Many powers had the descriptions corrected, and had their bugs fixed. However, the biggest changes come in the form of nerfing many of the game’s buffs. Please note that Rebalanced Force Powers is a standalone version of Balance in the Force’s changes to the Force Power system. It contains updated changes that will appear in v2.0 of that mod as well. List of Changes Neutral Alignment now covers alignment scores of 40-59 with regards to Force powers. Alignments between 0 and 39 and give a 50% FP cost discount with dark side aligned powers and 50% FP cost increase with light side aligned powers.

Acknowledgements offthegridmorty’s Treat Injury Affects Force Healing is the forebear to this mod. As far as I know, offthegridmorty is the first person to add skills to Force powers. Not only that, offthegridmorty himself provided feedback and taught me some critical things needed for this mod. Thank you offthegridmorty. Thor110 has taught me so much regarding KotOR mods that he pretty much gets a permanent spot in all of my acknowledgements. Thank you Thor110. Compatibility Rebalanced Force Powers is expressly not compatible with any mods that change the scripting of Force Powers, combat shots, or energy shields. It’s also not compatible with Balance of the Force. It will be included in the next major update of that mod but at the time of this writing, there’s still much work to be done before that happens. Frequently Asked Questions Why do some of these changes feel like nerfs? That’s because they. Rebalanced Force Powers is actually a piece of a major gameplay overhaul mod called Balance in the Force that rebalances every aspect of the game to make all player options viable and add some challenge to the game. I’ve released it as a standalone mod because even on its own it adds several neat ideas to the game and reduces the overpowered nature of the force power system a little bit. Balance in the Force will actually nerf things a little bit more. What did you do to Aura? Force Aura, while also ridiculously powerful, was so redundant that no one used it. So, I tossed it. Fun fact: I added Immunity: Critical Hit so that I could justify keeping those shield icons the same the tier 2 and 3 versions of the power. What did you do to Valor? Force Valor is tied for most overpowered force power in the game. Providing +5 to all six attributes and Saving Thows is bonkers. So, I split it into two powers called Force Mind and Force Enhance that split the mental and physical attributes between them. I did increase the buffs to +6 as consolation for making them no longer stack with stims. The Balance in the Force version will cap at +4. What did you do to Speed? Force Speed is the other power tied for most overpowered Force power in the game. Now, at level 1 it only provides double movement speed with no defense bonus. This is a quality-of-life change for armor wearing Jedi who still want to navigate the map quickly. Tier 2 opens up 3 levels earlier at level 6 and adds a bonus defense of 5. This functionally allows it to fully replace force Aura line of spells. Tier 3 opens up 3 levels earlier at level 12 however, instead of getting two extra attacks you only get 1. What did you do to Energy Resistance? Improved Energy Resistance was an incredibly strong power that served as one of the many ways of making players functionally immortal. In past mods I probably nerfed it too aggressively so in this version. I scaled it to K2’s damage resistance values for cold, electric, fire, and sonic and I reintroduced blaster resistance but at half the value of the other resistances.

View File Kinrath Egg Fix In the first version of the game on Dantooine in the Crystal Cave, if you destroyed the Kinrath Eggs, you gained dark side points, which was stupid, so in a patch they changed it, and now you gain red lightsaber crystals instead of dark side points, which is equally stupid. So i changed it to 25xp and a small chance to get poisoned. Submitter GearHead Submitted 09/26/2024 Category Mods K1R Compatible Yes

View File Rebalanced Grenades Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - Rebalanced Grenades v1.0.0 Overview The goal of Rebalanced Grenades was to make makes grenades, Dexterity, and Demolitions more useful throughout the entirety of Kotor 1 by giving grenades scaling DCs similar to force powers based off of Dexterity and scaling bonus damage based off Demolitions. By making grenades more useful for ranged characters they will hopefully serve a function similar to Force powers for non-Jedi characters. Grenades now use the following formula unless stated otherwise: DC = 5 + Level + Dexterity modifier if DC < 15 then DC = 15 Bonus Damage = Total Demolitions Rank/2 A minimum DC threshold of 15 is maintained to keep grenades at least as useful as they are in Vanilla in early levels. Additionally, each of the affected grenades has a damage cap added in to keep them near the game’s existing benchmarks. Grenade Changes Fragmentation Grenade - DC: 5 + Level + DEX + INT (min DC: 15), max damage: 36 Stun Grenade - DC: 5 + Level + DEX + INT (min DC: 15) Thermal Detonator - DC: 5 + Level + DEX + INT (min DC: 15), 60 Damage Poison Grenade - DC: 30, 5 Damage every 3 seconds Sonic Grenade - DC: 5 + Level + DEX + INT (min DC: 15), max damage: 36 Cryoban Grenade - DC: 5 + Level + DEX + INT (min DC: 15), Fortitude save, max damage: 36 Plasma Grenade - DC: 5 + Level + DEX + INT (min DC: 15), max damage: 60 Ion Grenade - DC: 5 + Level + DEX + INT (min DC: 15), max damage: 30, +30 Damage vs Droids Adhesive Grenade – unchanged Notes: A damage cap of 36 was chosen for Fragmentation, Sonic, and Cryoban grenades because it allows them to scale up to the total damage of a vanilla plasma grenade or the average damage of Force Lightning at full power. Thermal Detonators are one of the most devastating weapons in Star Wars cannon and since 60 damage is the maximum damage of Force Lightning at full power, I let it stand. Additionally, for 2000 credits a pop, I feel like they should always consistently be good. Since Plasma Grenades start at 36 damage it felt natural to cap them at 60 and with a dedicated build and the right equipment you can in fact get there if you want to. Ion Grenades cap at 30 for humanoids and still add an additional 30 for droids for the same reasons. Acknowledgements jc2's Improved Grenades is the forebear to this mod. As far as I know jc2 is the first person to do this. Thor110 who taught me much of what I needed to know to finish the script changes for this mod and most of everything else I know about modding KotOR.

View File Starship Combat Pay Starship Combat Pay v1.0.1 Overview Starship Combat Pay give players a tangible reward, beyond avoiding a game over screen, for surviving the Ebon Hawk Gunnery Station mini-game. After escaping the Sith Blockade and landing on Dantooine, you’ll get a message from the Republic. It reads: "Republic Combat Pay Thank you for registering your Dynamic-class freighter, designation: the Ebon Hawk, as a civilian paramilitary vessel. Until further notice, as an enlisted soldier of the Galactic Republic Navy, you are hereby entitled to a financial reward of 200 Republic credits for the successful elimination of each Sith Imperial starfighter you encounter aboard your registered personal starship. You'll find a payment of 1200 Republic credits has already been deposited directly into your account. Further payments will be deposited immediately after each conflict. May the Force be with you." …And that’s exactly what the mod does. It pays you a total of 1200 credits every time you’re forced to play the Ebon Hawk Gunner Station mini game. Notes Unfortunately, this mod doesn’t change the mini-game itself in any meaningful way. It does however make playing it more rewarding. When deciding on the number of credits players should receive, we looked at different amounts of pay that scale with level and we arrived at a flat 1200 credits for a number of reasons. A scaling number of credits requires an in-setting explanation for why the main character’s pay increases, which logically goes to rank. Applying any sort of rank to the main character adds a level of non-canon material that I’m not comfortable adding in my mods. In terms of the game’s existing financial rewards go 1200 credits is pushing it. However, in terms of the setting, a 1200 credit bonus is a paltry sum for destroying a 300,000 credits worth of starfighters. So, since most players tend to only travel between planets after fully completing them, the number of randomly generated starfighter encounters is relatively low. In any case, once you get full access to the Ebon Hawk, you’re free to win heaps of credits by swoop racing or savescum an infinite number of credits by gambling with Suvam Tan. So, exploiting the turret minigame isn’t going to unbalance anything. Credits Script Writer: Thor110 Contributor: Zoctavous Mod Author: Timbo Special Thanks I want to thank Thor110 who had the script almost entirely worked out within minutes of pitching the idea and for patiently sticking with it over the next couple weeks to fine tune it. Seriously, this part was about 90% of the work. I also want to thank Zoctavous who has very quickly become my go-to scripting confidante. Whenever there’s something I don’t understand or need help fixing. He’s usually the first person I hit up. Without him helping me get past the very first problem with this mod, this release simply wouldn’t have happened. Finally, I want to give a special thanks to Discord user sharkynebula from the KOTOR server who casually suggested that the Republic should have to pay you for playing the minigame. This is the idea set this whole thing off. Submitter Timbo Submitted 08/18/2024 Category Mods K1R Compatible Yes  

View File Larger Text Fonts for KOTOR WARNING: 11/29/22 - It appears that the "big" font size category is causing crashes for people attempting to open certain lockboxes in the Taris Undercity. Other sizes, such as "verybig", are unaffected. I will be working to recreate and fix this issue over the weekend. For now, I recommend players either choose a size that isn't "big" or uninstall this mod until the issue is resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience! Have you tried playing KOTOR 1 at high resolution? Then you may have noticed the text does not scale properly. As a result, text can look embarassingly small. Fortunately, this mod contains an assortment of font files that the game can use. They are organized by various sizes with the 3 kinds of text the game uses; they are also interchangeable! Using these files should give players an easier time when playing in high resolutions, customizable to everyone's needs. Hopefully everyone who wishes to play KOTOR 1 in high resolution will have a more enjoyable experience, and that one of the more common problems facing the community has been properly addressed. The attached file is a compressed archive that contains a ReadMe file, and a folder containing each set of fonts. READ THE README FILE BEFORE INSTALLING! The ReadMe contains an important explanation of what each font folder is, and instructions as to how to properly install the mod. Improper installation could lead to very unreadable text! DISCLAIMERS: You will NOT be able to see small numbers, the count of grenades for example, via the HUD. This is a problem with the game itself & how it handles larger text inside smaller HUD elements; I am unable to fix this. The game is simply too old and we don't have access to its source code (yet). This mod is NOT compatible with KOTOR 2 TSL. This mod only exclusively works with KOTOR 1. If you are using the Steam or Mobile versions of KOTOR 2, you shouldn't be experiencing this problem anyways. As far as I know, there are no compatibility issues with other mods. However, if you come across any problems or something not working as intended, please let me know here or via my Discord: Xela#6419 If you are only playing the game at 1080p or less, this mod may not be necessary. Text only stops scaling up to 1080p resolution (as far as I know). It's possible this mod will only cause issues if you play the game at less than 1080p resolution. These fonts were NOT my creation! They were found and extracted from the Russian 🇷🇺 version of KOTOR which inexplicably has larger fonts with a variety of sizes, on top of being able to work in English as well. I was also not the first person to discover these files, that credit belongs to user Drazgar! https://deadlystream.com/profile/44945-drazgar/ I do not claim these files to be my own, I simply uploaded them here to share with the community after not finding them anywhere else.

With BitF's initial framework complete, I've moved ahead to rebalancing equipment. I started out with robes and armor and I have some ideas I'd like discuss with anyone interested. I have two ideas I'm tossing around in my head. 1. I'd like to make certain pieces of equipment like Exar Kun and Darth Bandon's armors compatible with all force powers 2. I'd like to make Robes function like regular armor in that they provide a proper defense score rather than just the bonus that gets capped at +10. One of the chief reasons for the second reason is that it's so extraordinarily easy to cap that bonus that powers like Aura/Shield/Armor are totally unnecessary. To this end I've also removed Knight and Master Speed. Problems: 1. These two ideas make each other redundant. 2. An armor that provides 8 AC and let's you cast supercedes all but the latest game robes. So the armor itself will have to be brought down to 4 or 5 AC max. Ideas: 1. The unique robes cap at 3 AC and the armors cap at 4 or 5 AC. 2. The robes give that Force Regen bonus that they give in TSL. Does anyone have any criticisms, suggestions, or big ideas I should consider regarding armor?

I finally think I've figured out a way to get around my Jedi Class limitation woes but it requires knowledge I don't possess. Thankfully, I'm not above begging for someone to help me or teach me if they have the time. I'll gleefully credit you for your efforts either way. Here's the pitch: I'd like to start Bastila, Jolee, and Juhani with custom classes. For the part I need help with, I'd like to add some dialogue options when speaking to the player that trigger a multiclass script for them to graduate to their natural class. It would be ideal if this would happen after gaining their 8th level but even that's not necessary as I can use dialogue to warn the player not to do this too early. What this does is make it so that I can restore the player's choice of jedi classes in the Radical Jedi version or eliminate it altogether. Is there anyone who's willing to either take this on as a request or take me on as an apprentice? Here's a link to my mod

Does anyone know how to make custom feats that would either create a couple feats for me or teach me how to do it? What I need are 3 separate feats that essentially mimic Toughness except that they add 4, 6, and 8 FP (instead of VP) per level. This would make for an absolutely huge change in my Balance in the Force Mod. Edit: I've since realized that unless there's already a script that adds FP per level, that this request will be impossible.

Pretty straight forward question? Are there any unused columns in Feat.2da & Featgain.2da? I really really want to make custom classes and I need more feat and featgain space to pull it off. Is there anyone who can help me with this?

View File [K1] No more unrealistic visual effects This mod was inspired by Shem's Realistic Visual Effects from way back when. For those of you who don't remember, Shem's mod removed speed blur, glowing hands during melee attacks, force wave and sparkly healing animations. I've decided to take things a step farther and remove everything that could be considered unrealistic, such as: - the brief green glow that occurs after being poisoned - anything visual associated with friendly powers (valor, force resistance, shield, etc.) - glowing or smoking hands when using certain powers - the shield-like stasis effect - swirling white lines indicating confusion - the black 'scorch' effect that appears on the ground after some explosions (which is realistic, admittedly, but looks like hell) - the 'goo' effect that appears after smashing Kinrath eggs (which is also realistic, but, much like the 'scorch' effect, looks horrific in-game) - animated scopes (power blast, sniper shot, etc.) Why do something like this? Personally, I can't stand the glowing, sparkling and otherwise silly or ugly visual indicators in KotOR. This sort of thing might be useful for anyone looking to create machinimas... which probably aren't a thing anymore, but oh well. I've also included a couple optional extras: a blank texture that replaces the blue nebula thing - which can be seen during a variety of in-game cutscenes and typically looks pretty bad - and also a reworked camera. The edited camera definitely isn't for everyone, but to me it looks more modern without going totally overboard. I've adjusted it so that there are no differences between the default, combat and Ebon Hawk camera angles. This probably isn't compatible with other mods that alter 'visualeffects.2da' or 'spells.2da'. I don't use K1R, so I'm not sure whether or not there are any conflicts. It will work with the Community Patch, however, but you must install my mod afterwards. And finally, a huge thanks to Fred Tetra for his KotOR Tool. Enjoy.
