Revamped FX MOD AUTHOR: Olegkuz1997 FOR WHICH GAMES: For Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1-2 Description: It's a fairly simple pak retexture of some of the game's (most notable) visuals. Some of them just don't look good, and some of them look downright awkward, which of course is forgiven for the game's seniority. I did it for myself, but who if anyone needs it, take it. My personal goal was to update the quality of the effects without slipping into tastelessness and to keep them generally true to Bioware beautiful art design. The insides of the mod: 1. Sparks displayed during every combat action in the game look a more colorful (honeyed) and leave a small tracer as opposed to the pale yellow vanilla ones. 2. Lightning, Force Drain, etc. look a bit brighter, but generally with the same shape of the curves and colors (blue for Shock, purplish blue for Storm). Death Field color have been slighly corrected, and the shades are generally more compatible with each other. Also increased resolution of discharges on bodies. 3. Grenade blast marks look similar to the original ones, but with improved resolution and transparency. 4. Smoke became blacker and thicker. 5. Explosions became more decent, but this is just AI upscaling, not new textures. Maybe it's because I almost never use plasma grenades. Also replaced the texture of the droid fire gimmicks. Not perfect, heh, but at least it's not out of place. 6. The texture of the burning bodies became more sympotic thanks to transparency and less like a ridiculous orange shield. 7. The effects of the “fire sword” (Master Power Attack etc) are less intrusive, but the original idea and visual distinction are preserved. 8. Also various little things like blaster bolts, campfire, ice, carbonite etc. Note: ---------------- In the “Optional” folder there are alternative texture options, namely: Spell outline without small lightning bolts in a circle, visually cleaner (fx_conjure). Less intense fire blast texture. Matter of taste. I've been told it's less irritating to the eyes. Textures of the starry sky and nebulas. Not exactly FX but because why not. That gets rid of the “checkerboard” arrangement of stars and has a deeper black tone. Opengl32.dll - shader that increases the effect of bloom. Throw it into swkotor folder. All the above screenshots were made using it. Installation: ---------------- Drop tga and tpc files in your game’s Override folder. To uninstall: ---------------- Take them out again. -

This mod adds fancy VFX and SFX alignment change both to the dark side and light side in two available style; TOR and TSL. -= BACKGROUND =- Not much of a background -- just my curiosity fueled with @DarthParametric's invaluable insights and assistance trying something never been done [at least to release stage until this mod was attempted] and documented previously to K1 based on its successors; The Sith Lords and The Old Republic. -= ABOUT THIS MOD =- TOR style -- adds IN-cutscenes VFX and SFX based on TOR's TSL style -- adds POST-cutscenes VFX and SFX based on TSL's TOR style no SFX -- adds ONLY IN-cutscenes VFX based on TOR's TSL style no SFX -- adds ONLY POST-cutscenes VFX based on TSL's * Preview [v1.0.1] -- To its VFX base it's using ported TSL models and texture [for the dark side ones] provided by DarthParametric. As for the SFX, I had them ported from TSL -- originally comes as mus_s_darkshort and mus_s_lightshort. -- provided as well user-friendly uninstaller for convenience purpose. -= KNOWN ISSUES =- TOR style -- at some potential cases [depending on how the cutscenes were set up] the SFX and/or VFX won't show up if the camera/frame far-off from the Player. In SFX's case -- because Players' presence on-screen's needed as they're the medium for the SFX output TSL style -- as using a spawned placeable's OnHeartbeat [which checks for and] to trigger the VFX and SFX for ONLY every ~3 seconds, they will not fired instantly. Delays are to be expected with this one. Also, as I didn't include ratio check to DS and LS gains sometimes you'll see LS status with DS' VFX/SFX and vice-versa. That often happens if there are multiple alignment sets in one continuous cutscenes There are module-specifics scripts that alter the alignment which is outside the scope of this mod -- at least at this current stage. With that in mind sometimes you won't see the mod's working although there are alignment change's happening -= FINAL REMARKS =- There's always room for improvements; reviews, critiques, comments, suggestions, questions and feedbacks are much appreciated. PM me here, write them on my feed or leave any on the mod's page as you please. And thank you! for downloading, and using this mod. Hope you enjoy the mod as much as I do! -= INSTALLATION =- Run the installer, pick only one of the available options then hit the [Install Mod ->] button! -= UNINSTALLATION =- Available in the _uninstall folder -- make sure to read the Readme first! -= COMPATIBILITY =- Is NOT compatible with mods that share the provision; doing same thing, same assets etc and/or anything that hard-overwrites 2DAs coming from this mod. -= REDISTRIBUTION =- I'd love to provide direct support to my work, which wouldn't be possible if they're scattered in the Unknown Regions -- so be considerate to not redistribute this mod or re-release it on any websites.

These textures attempt a more realistic style while also adding effects that I don't see altered very often such as Poison. There are several iterations of major textures such as fire and lightning. Lightning has been given multiple colors for those who that matters to. Several of the new textures are large, though nothing over 2k. I may release an alternate version with lower image sizes for lower end PCs and Laptops. Currently none of these textures are animated, but that could change in the future. --------------------------------------- Screens have been added for most textures. Personal preference: Don't use my default fire. The alternate textures are eons better. -

So what is it? NFX - FX Texture Overhaul for TSL is my texture overhaul of all the effects in Kotor 2. This applies to effects such as muzzle flashes, lens flares, snowflakes, fire/smoke fx, explosions, etc. I will continue to update this thread with my progress with the project and identifying textures. Below is an example of a high resolution remade muzzle as well as flares. The result is reduced blur, improved detail. I am kinda cheesed that there were only a couple people who took a hit at the FX textures, and they were simply upscaled. Therefore I would like to finish this re-make of all the FX! The goal is to keep the vanilla feel, without modifying too many tones or colors, unless necessary. If you would like to collaborate or help out, please add me on skype - alinademelectro Screenshots below (bare in mind when I uploaded these I forgot about the alpha channels, future updates will look better, all alpha channels will be re-done) Also, anybody willing to shed some light on the description of the textures from FX and what they do in-game would be great, since the naming is strange, I would gladly appreciate it! Textures I have extracted the originals using KotorTool, under swpc_tex_tpa.erf "F" It's a bit tough because there's a lot of trial and error for me to discover which exact texture I'm editing in-game. Anyways, it's still very early but I wanted to let you guys know what I'm working on! Cheers! Project Updates 10/29/14 - Creating 2 versions, UltraHD (1K/2K textures), and a standard HD (1K/512) - No ETA thus far Identified Textures In-Game ~50%
