View File Differentiated Duelists Rebalance of the Taris duelists. SUMMARY This mod re-equips and rebalances the Taris duelists, aiming to give them more variety, smooth out their difficulty curve, and make the fights a bit more challenging and engaging overall. Almost all duelists have had their stats or equipment tweaked to some degree to make them more distinct in both appearance and combat while ensuring a natural progression in difficulty throughout the fights. Twitch has undergone the most extensive changes and should now be significantly more challenging. Each of the human duelists gets a different set of level-appropriate light armor, instead of all wearing the same armor as they do in vanilla. Certain duelists have had their AI tweaked for improved behavior. Detailed changes to each duelist are listed below. This mod is not intended to dramatically alter the difficulty of the dueling arena but will make it harder overall. Note this mod will only work on saves from before entering the Taris cantina for the first time. DETAILS INSTALLATION Run HoloPatcher.exe and select an install option. The default option installs the mod to the Override folder. An alternative option is included which installs to the Modules folder. If you don’t have any mods which edit these NPCs in Override but do have mods which edit them in Modules, you can use the alternative install option to prevent overwriting them. See compatibility notes for more details. Direct the installer to your game folder then press install. Unaltered copies of any modified files will be placed inside the backup folder in the location of HoloPatcher.exe. If you receive the following warning while running the alternative install option: “A resource located at ‘…\Override\…’ is shadowing this mod’s changes in Modules\tar_m02ae.mod!” then you should install the default option instead. If you have Effixian’s Taris Arena Changes installed, run the compatibility patch after running the default install option. UNINSTALLATION To uninstall from the default install option: Remove the following files from Override: tar02_bendak021.utc, tar02_gerlon021.utc, tar02_ice021.utc, tar02_marl021.utc, tar02_twitch021.utc, tar02_deadeye022.utc, m_ai_dueler.ncs, m_att_dueler.ncs, m_dmg_dueler.ncs, m_htb_dueler.ncs, m_per_dueler.ncs, m_rnd_dueler.ncs, m_spn_dueler.ncs, and m_udf_dueler.ncs. If any files were created inside the backup folder, move them to Override. To uninstall from the alternative install option: Remove tar_m02ae.mod from the Modules folder and, if present, replace with the tar_m02ae.mod in the backup folder. COMPATIBILITY Two install options are included to allow compatibility with different sets of mods that edit the same NPCs. If you are using any other mods which edit the duelist NPCs in the Override folder, you should use the default install option. However if the only other mods you have which edit these NPCs do so in the Modules folder, you can use the alternative install option to prevent overwriting them. See list of which mods are compatible with which options below. Installs to Override (use the default option if using any of these mods): Effixian’s Taris Arena Changes by Effix NOTE: Install order critical! Taris Arena Changes > Differentiated Duelists > Patch Bendak Starkiller Emblem Armour by redrob14 Installs to Modules (use the alternative option if using any of these mods and none of the previously listed mods): K1 NPC Diversity Pack - N-DReW25 NOTE: If you prefer the armors from this mod, install it after Differentiated Duelists. Galaxy of Faces - N-DReW25 If unsure, install using the default option after any other mods that edit these NPCs to ensure its full changes take effect. Twitch, Ice, and Bendak will not be affected by combat AI changes from other mods. PERMISSIONS Feel free to do whatever you want with this mod as long as credit is provided.
