Hi, i found out that KOTR has a restoration mod, i googled and found in this forum that already has been tried but one person says it has errors and the mod must be removed then placed again, other says it works, other that it doesn't or has problems. It's possible? I really wanna play the game with new content. Thanks for your time.

This is a thread I made on LucasForums back in 2016, where I was experimenting with adapting larger mods to IOS. I am posting it here since it might help people, and I intend to continue my research! This thread is to offer important feedback to modders and help adapt the larger Kotor I mods (such as Brotherhood of Shadow) on the IOS version of Kotor I. Since I have replayed Kotor I as an IOS version, I totally loved the idea of porting and optimizing it for mobile platforms! If works great on an iPad, the big screen, portability and optimized controls made playing Kotor on IOS feel like reading a great book, it is an awesome experience! After re-finishing the games on my iPad, i started looking for story mods and total conversions, wanting more of this awesome gaming experience. I discovered that small mods like appearance changers and added items can be easily installed, however larger mods that introduce new modules into the game do not seem to run properly, and there seems to be nobody working on getting them to work... I tried the following story / total conversion mods so far, and managed to get them working to some degree, but so far they all seem to have major problems regarding how the scripts and asset placement are handled by the mobile port of the game: 1. Brotherhood of Shadow - Solomon's Revenge 2. Yavin IV Mod 3. Kotor 1 Restored Content Mod Here is a detailed report I have made from a beta tester's standpoint regarding how these mods are handled by the IOS version. 1. Brotherhood of Shadow - Solomon's Revenge Type: story mod / total conversion Adds entire new modules to the game, with new areas, characters and items. - Changed mod files filenames from uppercase or mixed characters to complete lowercase characters in order to fix the IOS character capitalization issue. - Installed on a jail broken IOS device (iPad 3 Wi-Fi), transferred onto device via the iFunBox Windows application (was used to transfer the mod assets from the PC to the iPad), installed using the IOS Cydia app iFile (was used to place the mod assets into the game install directory because iFunBox had restricted access to that folder). Mod installed successfully. - Game runs fine after mod installed, the Brotherhood of Shadow splash screen appears after the Kotor 1 splash screen, just like on the PC version. Nothing changes when starting a new game or loading an older save game. If the save game included in the Brotherhood of shadow mod is also installed, along with the mod, loading it will not be possible! In order to make it work, we must change all the save games files filenames to complete lowercase letters because IOS has this issue, where case capitalization of filenames matters! A file named "Save.sav" will be seen as a distinct file from "SAVE.SAV", also distinct from "save.sav" - this is very important when attempting to run a mod! Changed file names to complete lowercase, save game now loads. - After loading save game, the game runs perfect, the player can go to Korriban and will notice new assets like the Czerka outpost and the technician fixing the door on the corridor! The player can start the mod's story-line by talking to the Rodian inside the bar. The characters are loaded perfectly, their appearances are the same as on PC, the conversation runs perfect, there are no bugs to this point. - When the player lands on Tatooine to confront Daemon Drexl, the game runs OK until the player exits the spaceport and enters the city gate. At that moment, after the module loads, a few seconds after successfully loading and the player takes a few steps on the map, the game suddenly crashes! Tried multiple times, the same result occurs, the game exits back to IOS. Bug occurrence: 5/5 - Using a PC i bypassed this point, transferred the save game file to a PC, played that section on the PC until the mission on the Orion begins (in order to bypass all Tatooine sequences, since the game crashes in this area). Transferred new save game made on the Orion back to iPad. Save game loads, new BoS loading screens work perfectly on IOS! - Started playing further on the Orion on the iPad, some module assets are completely missing! All the doors on the Orion are missing,through the ones that should be permanently closed outer space can be seen, plot related doors (like the cargo bay door) are also absent, allowing the player to enter those areas. Sara Degana is also completely missing from the map, this bug is practically preventing the player to progress further in the game! All other assets appear and work perfectly, the player can speak to the Captain, the Mechanic and the Pazaak player and the conversation works with no bugs, all other items work fine. - Bypassing this portion of the game like before was not possible this time, as when the save game is transferred back to the PC some of the missing assets still do not appear! The doors now appeared as normal, but Sara Degana was still missing. Continued with the old save (before moving it to the IOS), that loaded all assets, including Sara. Progressed further until back in the first section of Orion, where the player must find the code fragments in order to open the cargo bay to access the artifact. Transferred new save to the iPad. - Doors and enemies that loaded perfectly on the PC using the same save game are now missing, the enemies do not show up, instead only the piles of items that show after they are defeated are present (it is like they had all been killed before loading the save). Other assets like the robots work OK, the computer console can be accessed and the codes inputted. After all codes are inputted and the player gives the computer terminal the command to open the cargo bay door, the game crashes like on Tatooine. After this portion I have stopped play-testing this mod on IOS. I have used a smart Windows application that allows multiple files renaming, to change all the file names of all files of the mod to lowercase letters (this was done to circumvent the IOS case letters capitalization roadblock that affected the save game files). There was no result, everything runs just like before (that is strange since I had expected at least some reaction, as the renamed files should have either loaded because before they could not load before due to the uppercase filenames, either they could load fine before but changing their filenames to lowercase would have made them unloadable!) Conclusions: - The mod loads and runs to some extent, loading screen, environments, characters, items and conversations all load). - Some certain assets (certain characters and environment entities, like doors) will not load. - Game crashes at some points. - Most issues seem to be cause by scripts (a given scripted event crashes the game) and assets (doors, characters that do not appear). - Changing the entire mod content to lowercase files format will not habe any impact on the problem. - Save games made after playing in a corrupted environment (first Orion module) will show most of the same corruptions when transferred on a PC where the mod runs perfectly (missing characters). However, some will not (no missing doors). - It appears that entire module elements are sometimes stored onto the save game file (this has been observed by loading a save game done in a modded version of the game into an unmodded version of the game, where the modules that the save game takes place should be missing, yet the save-games load and the module can be explored!) - Will attempt fresh reinstall using TSL Patcher method and post results soon! 2. Yavin IV Mod Type: add-on story mod / total conversion Adds new content (modules, characters, items). - Mod installed via the same method as Brotherhood of Shadow (filenames renamed to lowercase characters and transferred via iFunBox). - Mod launches successfully when accessing the Yavin Space Station left door's control panel. There is a short conversation with the Rodian, then the Yavin mod modules load and work perfectly. Game runs normal in all aspects. Conclusions: - Mod can be successfully installed, started, and played! All the modules, scripts and assets work perfectly! - Running Yavin IV mod on IOS KOTOR a complete success! - Mod 100% play-tested, works perfectly on IOS! 3. Kotor I Restored Content Mod (K1 Restoration) Type: add-on content mod / restored content mod Adds new assets (modules, skins, items) that were cut / scrapped from the original game before launch, but partially left as inactive content in the game files. - Installed using same method as for the previous two mods. - Game loads normally, Kotor restoration splash screen (featuring the Iriaz) is displayed on startup. When starting a new game the first bug occurs: the skins for the male and female soldiers are corrupted, they show as black textures. - The game runs smoothly afterwords, when crash landing on Taris the player can observe the new dialogue lines added by the mod. Everything loads and runs OK after, until reaching the Swoop Registration office at Lower Taris apartments (new location implemented by the mod in an abandoned apartment). The area loads and works perfectly, but when entering the door to the Swoop Tracks the game freezes on the loading screen. The game is affected only if the player attempts to enter the door to the swoop tracks, otherwise you can exit the area and there are no other bugs. - There are no problems until forward, when reaching the Black Vulkar base. When entering the elevator to the upper level (that has been added by the mod where the armory is located in the unmodded game), the game crashed after the loading screen. This was easily fixed by renaming the module, by changing all uppercase characters to lowercase characters! - After renaming the filename the game loads the level without problems, and the Vulkar Base upper level added by the mid works well except for a few bugs. All assets and characters load and work OK, the player can speak to the Mechanic and the Vulkars in the bar, but the door to the control room where the player must update the garage key with the new code always remains locked, regardless of what the player does! This makes it impossible to progress further in the game. The quest description for this level also have a bug, as they only appear as blank spaces with no text in the quest log! After transferring the save game file to a PC and loading it from there (into a PC version of Kotor with the K1 Restoration mod installed), some parts of the quest logs appear and can be read, but the door still remains locked. I have not yet played further, but plan to use a save game to bypass this area and test the mod on IOS further. Conclusions: - The mod runs mostly fine, with just a few bugs noticed so far (missing or corrupted textures, script errors). - A major scripting bug causes the door on the Vulkar base upper level to always stay locked, preventing the player to progress further. As I test the mods further I will keep updating the post. If anyone else has been researching this and found any solutions to get these mods running on the IOS version, please post everything you have discovered (solutions, tutorials, fixed mod game files) here, it will be of great help! Links to other threads that discuss Kotor I IOS modding: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthrea...=212313&page=2 http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=213381 It seems these are the only places on the entire internet where this has been discussed. There was also a brilliant blog called "Kotor IOS mods" made by the modder Revanchist, but it went offline since summer. Users stated that they were working on adapting Brotherhood of Shadow for the IOS version and were close to solving all issues, but there was no reply on these threads since some time...if anyone managed to get it running please share your research and results with us! Major kudos to anyone who managed to get BoS to run smoothly on IOS Kotor I! Unfortunately there is no way to run mods on an non-jail-broken iDevice, because the mod files must be added to the contents of the KOTOR game folder on the iPhone / iPad using special file managers (iFunBox / WinScp and iFile). On an non-jail-broken device the filesystem is locked, preventing users to access the core filesystem in order to add / modify the game files. On an un-jail-broken device the user only has access to the "Photos" folder from a PC / Mac, but in a limited read-only mode, and very limited acces is provided to other folders (Music, Video, Apps) via iTunes. The jailbreak doesn't just add the Cydia app (as most people think), but it also unlocks the entire filesystem, enabling users to access the content on the iDevice like an external hard drive / USB stick by using the special file managers. Th only thing that can be done on an non-jail-broken device is to modify save game files in order to add new items or change player stats. This is done the following way: 1. Extract save game files from the iDevice to a PC / Mac using iTunes. 2. Edit the save game files with a KOTOR save game editor or hex editor if you are an experienced user. 3. Upload save game back to iDevice using iTunes. Full detailed tutorial for editing KOTOR save game files can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/kotor/comme...sion_of_kotor/ PROGRESS UPDATE GREAT NEWS: I have managed to get Yavin IV mod to work flawlessly on the IOS version of KOTOR! This has been fixed simply by deleting KOTOR from the iDevice, performing a clean reinstall, renaming all the mod files with their lowercase letter names equivalents on the PC before transferring them to the iDevice, then finally transferring the mod files to their proper folders inside the KOTOR app folder. I have used a Windows application that renames multiple files at once, so I didn't have to rename each and every file manually, I just set the program to rename all the files and it processed them in less then a minute! Also, the mod was not installed by the suggested way involving transferring the KOTOR app folder to a PC and using TSL Patcher on it, then transferring it back to the iDevice. An easier approach was used: 1. The mod files were simply moved from the TSL Patch Data folder inside the mod installer to their proper folders (files that belonged to the "override" folder were placed in an "override" folder created for them (a new user created folder not the one in the game), the ones that go to the "modules" folder were placed in a "modules" folder, etc manually on the PC. 2. The files in these folders were then renamed to complete lowercase characters. 3. The contents of the folders were transferred to the folders with the same name in the KOTOR app folder in the iDevice (PC folder "modules" to "KOTOR.app/modules", etc). For anyone that wants to get this mod, all the links on this forum are dead, and the mod is nowhere to be found unfortunately. This is the last working download link I have managed to find, and this is where I got the original mod files: http://www.lonebullet.com/mods/downl...free-15640.htm Now the mod launches properly when accessing the Yavin IV space station door, the level loads smoothly and all assets, items and cut-scenes load and work perfectly! I will keep "beta-testing" the entire mod content and post a detailed report with pictures soon. Next step will be to try the same approach to the K1R (KOTOR I Restored Content) mod, where a high rate of success is expected, then tackle the biggest mod: Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's Revenge! Thank You very much for this advice, this might actually solve the problem with BoS:SR! Actually I was recently thinking about researching this possibility, as I noticed that when installing the mod on a PC with TSLPatcher it reports that the .2da files are modified and not replaced. Your helpful comment just confirmed this theory! This aslo explains why there were so many missing assets (doors, characters, etc) in my BoS:SR install attempt. Installing all these three mods (K1R, BoS:SR and Yavin IV) together seems to be unproductive regardless the installation method used (TSLPatcher or manual install) and the platform the game is running on (Windows or IOS). I have tried running them together and there are game crashing bugs both on the PC and iDevice. It is stated by its creators though that K1R is compatible with BoS:SR, with the condition that K1R is installed last. Since they bring independent story elements and it is not mandatory that they run at the same time, I have used a simple solution to get a complete KOTOR experience: 1. Install KOTOR and mod with K1R, play the enhanced original story campaign. IMPORTANT: Keep a save game prior to traveling to the Star Forge (Rakata Planet)! This will be needed in order to play the other mods. If not, the save game included with the BoS:SR archive can be used. 2. Uninstall and perform a clean reinstall of KOTOR (mandatory on an IOS device, on a PC the KOTOR game folder can be backed up before installing the K1R mod and the un-modded copy can be used afterwards). Install either the Yavin IV or the BoS:SR mod on this clean install and enjoy! I chose to play Yavin IV first as BoS:SR brings an entirely new story line. 3. Repeat step 2 and mod the clean install with the other remaining mod. I will install BoS:SR on my iPad with the TSLPatcher method ASAP and see if I can get it working properly. Thank You and I am happy I could help this great community! Remember when the mobile version of KOTOR was released in 2013 and people started modding it... After we got the simple mods (added skins, items, etc) to work and begun tackling larger mods (total conversions, story mods) like these ones that introduce entire new modules, everyone said that it is not possible to accomplish because the mobile version uses a re-scripted engine, that it will not work, etc. We just believed that it could be done and kept trying anyway, and now we demonstrated that installing larger mods is actually possible and quite simple once we figure out how to do it properly. Yavin IV running smoothly is an example of this accomplishment, as it adds entire new modules containing new maps, skins, items, dialogue and cut-scenes, proving that the mobile version of KOTOR can handle this new game data quite fine. The next milestone will be when the mobile version of KOTO II TSL will be released, as Aspyr Media completed the Mac OS port in July and are already working on the mobile port. If I were to make an educated guess I'd say that KOTOR II will probably be released for mobile platforms (IOS and Android) this Holiday season (most likely the middle of December), as this is a great time for Star Wars releases, because Disney is rebooting the franchise with the new movie and Battlefront 3 game, which will put Star Wars into the spotlight in this period. Also, based on the fact that KOTOR II has almost the same game engine and structure as Kotor I (that has already been ported), and KOTOR II already has a Mac OS port, and is is known that IOS is actually a modified version of Mac OS, Aspyr just has to integrate the same touchscreen user interface and control scheme that was used in the first mobile KOTOR version, and optimize the game for the graphical and processing limitations of the mobile devices. This is something that a team of skilled developers can do in less than a month, with the remaining five months being more then enough for beta testing and tweaks, given that they already have experience in this field after doing this with KOTOR 1, and they also have access to the full KOTOR source code and developer SDK. At any rate, I am sure there will be a mobile KOTOR II TSL release in the near future http://www.aspyr.com/games/star-wars...the-sith-lords When this will happen, most KOTOR veterans like myself will want to replay this gaming masterpiece, and obviously we will want to play it with TSLRCM installed! Modders will then concentrate all their efforts to make TSLRCM to work with the mobile version, which will open the way for bigger story mods and total conversions, like The Jedi Masters and the brilliant work in progress Revenge of Revan! Looks like a bright future... I can't wait to play these great mods in my iPad! ------------------------- PROGRESS UPDATE - 07.01.2016 During the winter holidays I have finally managed to install Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's Revenge on the IOS version of Kotor, on my iPad, using the TSL patcher method. I have used the method described below. I have written this tutorial to help anyone else who is uncertain about how to exactly install mods on IOS using the TSL Patcher, since there are many steps that must be carefully respected, although the process itself is not very complicated. Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's Revenge (this method works with any mod) IOS Kotor mod install - TSL Patcher method: A jailbroken iDevice is required! 1. Extract and backup the IOS Kotor app data with iFunBox. Connect your jail-broken iDevice (on which Kotor is installed) to your PC / MAC computer. iFunBox must be installed on the computer. Open iFunBox and go to the File Browser tab. Navigate to Raw File System/private/var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application and drag Kotor.app from the iFunBox window (it will also have the Kotor icon logo) and drop it to your Desktop. after the transfer is complete you will have a serialized filename folder on your Desktop. Congratulations, you have just backed up your Kotor install! If you also want to backup your Kotor user data which contains your game configuration and save games use iFunBox to navigate to Raw File System/private/var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application and (that's the tricky part) open all serialized filename folders/Documents until you find a KOTOR folder inside. Drag the entire serialised filname folder containing the KOTOR folder to your Desktop. Now you have backed up your game data as well! It is wise to save the unmodified backup folders on your computer in order to ease up future modding (you can use a fresh copy of the backup each time you install a mod instead of extracting the Kotor game files from the iDevice each time)! 2. Copy the contents of the KOTOR.app folder inside the first serialized filename folder you extracted earlier (it will be the larger one) to a new folder (you can name it Kotor-mod) 3. Make sure that all the files inside Kotor-mod are NOT read-only. To do that select all files inside the folder, then right click and choose Properties, and check if the "Read-Only" tab is checked. If it is checked or greyed out, make sure to uncheck it! 4. Run the Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's Revenge TSL Patcher installer from the BoS:SR mod folder as an Administrator (right click on BoS: SR TSL Patcher installer and click on "Run as Administrator). IMPORTANT: if you have also Kotor installed on the computer you are performing this operation, rename the C:/Program Files/Lucas Arts folder (or whatever folder you installed kotor to) to C:/Program Files/Lucas Arts 001, so that TSL Patcher will not install BoS:SR to your PC / MAC Kotor installation! Inside TSL Patcher, click Install Mod in the lower right corner of the window, then a Browse window will appear, prompting you to poimt it to your Kotor install folder (if you have Kotor also installed on your PC / MAC and do not temporarily rename the install folder as instructed earlier, TSL Patcher will detect it and automatically install the mod there!). Point it to your Kotor-mod folder where you copied the contents of the backed up KOTOR.app folder earlier. Wait for the process to finish, you will most likely receive an error, do not worry it is caused by the fact that there is no "saves" folder inside the Kotor-mod folder, there is no problem, the mod files were copied regardless! 5. Run Multiple Files Renamer and set it to Capitalise / Add action / All small on the selected folders. In the selection screen open the Kotor-mod folder name select the modules, movies, override, streamsounds and streammusic folders. This is very important, as your iDevice uses the Unix filenaming and hierarchy. This is also why you must make sure the files do not come set to read-only mode after extraction from the device. This is basically the roadblock preventing modders to run larger mods like BoS:SR on IOS, the IOS detects all files using a case-sensitive approach, like in the case for a password. Because of this, "BoSSR.mod" is seen as an entirely different file as "bossr.mod" or "BOSSR.MOD" by the IOS filesystem, thus resulting in a "file not found" error if the file is not properly renamed. Congratulations, BoS:SR has been properly installed and adapted to your IOS Kotor installation! 6. Transfer the contents of the Kotor-mod folder back to their place on the iDevice usong iFunBox. Just navigate to the Kotor.app folder and drag the contents there. Unfortunately even after using this recommended install method, the mod still won't run properly on IOS! I have double-chcked everything and the mod files were successfully copied into the Kotor install folder, I have no idea what goes wrong. Even more strange, the mod runs worse after being installed with the TSL Patcher method then it did after being installed with the manual method! Here is the comparative beta-testing report: - BoS: SR successfully installed (all files copied with no errors) using TSL Patcher method. - When starting Kotor, instead of cycling through the intro splash screens, the screen stays black for 2-3 seconds then the game jumps right to the main menu. When using the manual install all splash screens appeared, including the custom BoS: SR splash screen added by the mod. - The game runs normal prior to activating the mod. The Rodian is present in the cantina on Korriban, the player can interact with him in order to start the mod. Both the appearance of the Rodian and the dialogue are OK, no bugs so far. - When arriving on Tatooine, right after leaving the spaceport and entering the city where the cantina is located, after the loading screen, the game freezes after the player takes a few steps forward or after 1-2 seconds. The same thing happened on when the mod was installed using the manual method. This error only occurs when Daemon Drexl must be confronted on Tatooine! Before activating the mod or when loading a save game file (taken from a PC) further into the game the game no longer crashes at this point. It seems that the entire module that contains the Daemon Drexl sequence on Tatooine gets corrupted by his script, causing the game to crash shortly after the module is loaded. - A save game from a PC, taken after speaking to the Rodian on Korriban for the second time was used to bypass this crash. The Tatooine module now works perfect, the game does not crash anymore. The player can go into the cantina on Tatooine and talk to the Bith Captain of the Orion to start the mission. The dialogue works normal and then the intro movie for the mod begins (the one that starts with "Silveredge9 presents..." Showing the Orion fly through space). After the movie ends the game crashes. The crash did not occur when the mod was installed using the manual method. - Used another save game file taken on the PC further into the game, aboard the Orion. After the save game loading screen the game crashes every time, like the module was missing or corrupted! When the mod was installed using the manual method, the module would load every time, but with some missing assets (doors, enemies, some of the characters). Now the game just crashes immediately after the save game loading screen. I have re-checked with iFile, and the module files for the mod are installed and in their proper folders... Conclusions: The mod is still not working, the game crash on Tatooine still takes place, and now all the mod's modules seem to be corrupt, as loading into them causes the game to crash immediately. The following approaches will be attempted further: - Will try capitalizing the filenames of all the files inside the "tslpatchdata" folder of the mod to complete lowercase BEFORE running TSL patcher. - Maybe the modules do not load because when modding with TSL Patcher their default filenames get written into the modded .2da files. Since IOS is case-sensitive with all filenames, maybe the files point to a module called "Module1_BoS.mod", and because the module is now named "module1_bos.mod" the game can't find the file and thus crashes. I will try reinstalling with TSL Patcher but leaving the files as they are after, without renaming them to complete lowercase characters. I will soon post updates on how these proposed solutions worked! UPDATE 18.03.2016 Next I will try installing Vader's Elite's port of Bos:SR for Android on IOS, see how that works! It is already optimized for Android, and IOS has the same Unix root as Android does, so it might just work...

At long last!! https://toucharcade.com/2020/12/08/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-ii-the-sith-lords-kotor-2-iphone-ipad-android-release-date/ The only question is: can the tslrcm/m74‐ep mods be installed properly (at least on Android in my case)?

So I grabbed KOTOR 1 for Android, and noticed that it seemed a little sluggish. According to the built in Android debug overlay, the game is locked at 40fps no matter the scene, graphics settings, or native refresh rate (60 or 120). The default INI file doesn't have the "RefreshRate=X" line, and adding it seems to have no effect, no matter what "X" is. VSync and Fullscreen dont have any effect either, even though both lines already exist. Is there any other way to increase the cap, or even remove it? I posted this in the modding section because I'm willing to mess with the game files if necessary, and I want to mod it anyway. Also... hello! First post from a lurker.

Pseudo Guide to Installing Mods on Android. By jc2. Part 1: What I Can Teach You. Texture mods are your bread and butter. Let's go through 3 popular texture mods from deadlystream and install them. Dark Hope's HD Twi'lek Female < https://deadlystream.com/files/file/982-hd-twilek-female/> This type of mod is a Retexture mod, because it retextures vanilla assets. Retextures are simple, unzip (find a program that can unzip) and go into your kotor folder create an "override" folder.Now copy and paste all of the UNZIPPED files from this mod into the override directly. It's installed. *Note: navigate to Android/data/com.aspyr.swkotor/files/ and create a folder there labeled "override" While there you can also create a folder labeled "Movies" if you have any mod that uses movies. Let's try another texture mod, but this time it adds new modded content with new textures. JC2 Robe Mod. This is not popular for good reason, but it is useful for teaching. (Promise me you will delete this!) This type of mod adds textures and adds new items (jedi robes), but it does not have any 2da files, like appearance.2da. This type is Added Textures & Items No 2da. Unzip files, copy and paste files from each subfolder that you want into the override folder. As simple as that. Now delete them... you promised. Robe mods are usually a good type of mod to have on Android because they do not require 2das, especially appearance.2da to function (each mod is unique though, please check each mod's files before installing). Any audio related mods may work if you play the audio files within the override, instead of placing them in the streamvoice or streamwaves folders. TSLPATCHER MODS: Let's try to install a TSLPATCHER Added Textures & Items Mod. JCarter426 or JC *the OG* created a JC's Fashion Line I: Cloaked Jedi Robes For K1 1.2 https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1378-jcs-fashion-line-i-cloaked-jedi-robes-for-k1/ This requires a TSLPATCHER to PATCH the 2das, but this mod doesn't have 2das, thankfully. Brief summary of how a tslpatcher works. Tslpatcher starts with the vanilla 2da files within its tslpatchdata, and the modded content is patched unto it through the tslpatcher, allowing it to patch other 2da files within the override folder, however, on Android you cannot run a tslpatcher, thus you cannot install this mod. Not all hope is lost, you can install this mod on PC (see this video on how to do this), then take those post-patched files and copy &paste them into your override folder. *Important note, you can find a full dialogue.tlk file on deadlystream in this mod. CAUTION: This is extraordinarily risky as many things can go wrong, too many to list. Please proceed with caution, and the less mods you install this way the better. Let's say you want JC's Fashion LIne and you want to install JC's Jedi Tailor for K1 Run the tslpatcher of one, then before copy & pasting it over override, install the other mod into that folder before moving the combined collection of files into their respective folders. Because! JC's Jedi Tailor has a modules folder as well as an override folder, both will go in swkotor/Files as 2 different folders. Do not merge these folders. Now let's go back to JC's Fashion Line, that mod doesn't have 2da files, the tslpatcher there is simply for speed and simplicity. You could *WARNING* actually just take the files directly out and paste them into your override folder, this is very rare and should only be done with mods that have no dialogue.tlk, 2da files, or module editing. If noob, do not try this at home, even this mod could be updated and no longer function. What that means, is JC2's Fashion Line could be installed without a PC, but JC's Jedi Tailor requires a PC due to the modules editing. *Note* If you have a PC, you can install multiple mods into one override folder using the tslpatcher, which should patch the 2da files allowing a smooth and compatible installation. Never overwrite a 2da file unless you are completly removing that mod from your override, left over files can cause issues. We can add textures, retexture, add items, add robes, but can we add merchants & dialogue related mods? Yes, JC's Jedi Tailor adds a merchant & dialogue. What about lightsaber mods? Lightsaber mods that add new lightsabers, new hilts, and new crystals are TSLPATCHER 2da mods. Most of these mods will require a TSLPATCHER, but we can install on PC like before, some don't though, and if they don't that's the one you'll want if you have Android only. (often times these are older mods, found on https://www.gamefront.com/games/knights-of-the-old-republic) Here's an example of normal 2da Tslpatcher lightsaber mod https://www.gamefront.com/games/knights-of-the-old-republic/file/long-saber-crystal-pack Here's an example of a non-tslpatcher lightsaber mod by SithSpecter https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/1222 Finally, if you want to install something HUGE that will radically effect your endgame of kotor *shameless plug* you should check out Lehon Mandalorian Expansion This is a massive mod that is going to be one of the worst to install on Android, because of its use of multiple 2da files and its reliance on custom audio. It requires a tslpatcher to install, requiring a PC. Recently updated Shanilia. will now have a Android version that has already been patched by the tslpatcher allowing the User to copy and paste folders directly, without needing a PC. Types of files generally okay to install: .nss & .ncs (scripts), .dlg (dialogue files), most uti's (uti's are items) {unless they come with a 2da, then double check}, utm's (merchants), Questionable files (proceed with caution): utc's (NPCs) {if they have appearance.2da alongside them}, any 2da file, globalcat.2da, appearance.2da, etc, Mods to double check: If they alter any vanilla module, if they add any additional module, multiple robe mods (incompatibilities), high definition texture mods (will slow down or crash Android). Mods to avoid: Music mods (they won't work) & Brotherhood of Shadow (You may break your playthrough). K1R relies heavily on tslpatcher and patches a mass variety of files. Part 2: What I Cannot Teach You. How to Get BrotherHood Of Shadow to Work on Any Device Known to Man. Here's a youtube video on it, I hope it works for you. Get TSLPATCHER to work directly on Android. Opening 2da files & GFF files on Android. Enabling Cheats on Android. Give you a good reason why the custom Sounds/Audio doesn't work & how to fix it. How to make K1R work on Android. Part 3: Good advice Always read Readme's. Always look at reviews, sometimes mod's will be incompatible and people will mention it. Always doublecheck and open install logs when using tslpatcher mods, especially if you are on Android. Unless you are confident do not install 2 mods that both alter the same module (map area). Go to the forums & /r kotor (they have a discord) for questions and help & read this guide on android modding It's better to have less mods without crashes, then risking crashes for a more mods. Never overwrite a 2da file, unless you are fully destroying all mods assosiciated with that 2da file ( for example if you installed multiple mods into the override folder, put it in the Android, and then later installed more mods and tried to put them in the Android which results in the option of overwriting the 2da file already in the Android. This would be bad, if you did not then purge all the files that were connected to those 2da files.) I hope this helped in some way. -jc2

View File Vandar Silent Dialog Fix (Android) During a certain conversation with the Jedi Masters on Dantooine, Master Vandar can speak a line of dialog that is not voiced. This is an Android-only bug. It seems whomever was in charge of making each line of voice acting work only with the Android port left this particular line in its PC state which is incompatible with the port, resulting in silence. Luckily the line by Vandar is pure fluff and it is the proceeding line by Vrook that moves the conversation forward. My fix? Remove Vandar's silent line. Nothing is lost in the conversation as it will skip Vandar and jump to Master Vrook instead. This mod is compatible with "Jedi From The Start" as even though that mod changes a lot of dialog on Dantooine with the Jedi Masters, this particular dialog file for Vandar is not used.

View File Improved Galaxy Map (Android) I present to you one of the few Android-only compatible mods for Kotor 1. You may be thinking one of two things after that statement; what makes this mod only compatible with the Android port or the fact that an improved galaxy map made by Kexikus already exists which places the planets in their Star Wars canon locations. Well as it turns out that mod is incompatible with the Android port because Aspyr used a scaled down version of the "galaxymap.gui" which results in that mod not working properly in the port. Also, the settings on that mod's TSL Patcher have to be changed even if the Aspyr galaxy map is used in that mod's installation. Bottom line; that mod would have to be reworked to function properly with Android Kotor. Now that I've covered my bases to avoid any claims of mod theft, I'll proceed to explain the mod. First, I don't care much for "canon" placement of the planets. I could have placed them canonically, but I didn't like how most were bunched together on only one side of the map and in a version of the game where most use touch controls it's better to have them neatly separated throught the galaxy map as to avoid touching the wrong one. This mod comes as is and I will most likely not upload a TSL Patcher version. The reason being that many Kotor Android players have no access to a computer and it makes it difficult for them to access some mods. Warning: This mod as stated above is meant to be used with the Android port of Kotor 1. Using it on the PC version may result in damage that I cannot be held responsible for.

View File AndroidK1 ImmersiveHUD ImmersiveHUD (or short iHUD) for Android-KotOR by MilesTeg --------------------------------------------- ===== Description ===== This is a simple, lightweight fix to tone down the very bright HUD. It's especially useful if your device can't handle frame buffer graphic effects (=unable to adjust brigthness). I mostly adjusted the alpha channels to add nearly full transparency (reduce brightness of GUI elements). Additionally, I've adjusted HUD-Elements for dialog scenes. Now, while choosing answers you can see your own player character instead of a huge blue menu blocking the view. Requirenments: You'll need 1 MB additional internal storage How-To Mod your Android-KotOR: https://www.reddit.com/r/kotor/comments/4yvr4z/how_to_mod_your_android_kotor/ ===== Installation & Usage ===== Like every mod for android you simply extract and copy all files from ''iHUD-mod/'' and/or ''/iDialog-mod/'' to ''/Android/data/com.aspyre.swkotor/files/override/'' (if not present, create an override folder). Restart KotOR and enjoy the game Uninstall: Delete files from override. ===== File contents ===== iHUD-mod - mod files for your android-override dir iDialog-mod - mod files for your android-override dir for modders: screens - screenshots + visual info source - extracted sourcefiles (see textfiles) - If anyone wants to fiddle with it.

​I'm a long time fan of KOTOR and it's nice to see people alive that are as well. Thanks to the staff and especially the community for keeping this place alive and well-maintained. Respect. Here is my original post: ​Thanks in advance but I was able to fix this as well. ​At this point this is more of a journal than a help post. ​I'm just gonna drop what I think will help anyone that was in my shoes: ​To enable the use of more advanced mods that use TSLPatcher and to the extent I've gone, KT: ​ To get KT working (credits to @Rece), intended for Macs but the difference is minimal. ​ ​.bif files are .bzf when ported from the phone, just rename the file extensions back(tedious but whatever). ​Also, you may need to uninstall and reinstall KT and\or delete settings.xml located within the KT directory. ​You may still encounter bugs and hiccups
