Cathalan Improvement Project By OzilsEyes What started out as a learning tool for myself, actually turned into quite a fun project... CATHALAN! Orange returns (Sorry!). I was really eager to brush up on my TSL modding skills, I'm fairly new to modding in general. I'd downloaded Cathalan and tried it years back, realising I could never complete it & it was just a buggy mess. When I started working on it, I couldn't believe my eyes (not because of the brightness of the orange either!). It needed a LOT of TLC. It really had the potential when Jaevyn first released it, it was a new planet, new quests, new characters, new items... but, it was let down by the amount of bugs and to an extent, incompletable content. I think I've now got it to a state, where it's actually a viable mod to add to your playthrough, If you've never actually completed the story, please take the time to do so, it's actually got quite a cool ending, which I enjoyed the first time I played through it after finally fixing half the quests. I firmly believe the community is driven by great ideas & great mods, the original creator, once had a great idea & tried to make it work. I don't know the history of Jaevyn or Cathalan, I know it's had it's rough patches, example: copyrighted music. In this post, I'll run through all the changes I have made, there may be spoilers to please, read at your own discretion. Now compatible with: TSLRCM M4-78EP Coruscant: Jedi Temple Mod Expanded Galaxy Mod Compatibility install with TSLRCM, M4-78EP & Coruscant will update the galaxy map to include 'Cathalan'. As the game restraints are 16 planet slots, this is not possible with the Expanded Galaxy Mod. To get around this, I have added an additional NPC who spawns on the Ebon Hawk, he has a shop (different items based on main story progression), medical table, some lore & fun dialogs. SM-K1 (Definitely not named like this because it looks like an abbreviation of my dogs name: Smokey) On the expanded galaxy compatibility install, go to the security computer on the ebon hawk, choose 'Device Memory', a cutscene will occur where SM-K1's hologram will appear: He will give you a list of uncharted planets, one being Cathalan which you will be able to travel to. Installation: Please note: You do not need to have the original Cathalan installed to play this mod, if you do have it installed do not worry just run the installation as normal. Download the package, unzip & run the holopatcher.exe Options: 1. Install Cathalan Improvement Project - Compatibility with the base game + TSLRCM + M4-78EP 2. Install Compatibility with Coruscant: Jedi Temple Mod - Compatible with use with Coruscant: Jedi Temple Mod 3. Install Compatibility with Expanded Galaxy Project - Compatible with Expanded Galaxy Project Choose your preferred option, then let the installer run. Start up your game. It's advised to start a new game BUT it should be compatible with existing saves. Uninstallation: Holopatcher will back up your files when installing, you can use the installation / backup folder to re-place your old files. Fixes, changes & additions General Improvements: Quests: Level specific improvements: 451CAT - Keralt High Level 452CAT - Keralt Middle Level 453CAT - Entertainment Promenade 454CAT - Keralt Lower Level 455CAT - Warrior Base 456CAT - Wyvern Base 457CAT - Eastern Dark Lands 458CAT - Matterson District 459CAT - Western Dark Lands 460CAT - Outsiders Enclave 461CAT - The Crypts 462CAT - Keralt Sector 51 New load screens: All the old load screens were (terrible) not great, so as part of the release I'd created new upscaled versions, they're all 2048x2048, relevant to the area & look a lot better. Please note: These are subject to change, I've updated a few already since release. Overall, working on the project was very fun, it gave me a good insight into modding KOTOR TSL, which is what it was intended to do. I decided to share the project as it's actually quite a fun playthrough, it gives you the benefit of a few extra levels, some credits, items etc. There is so much more I would have loved to do with this but I didn't want to change it too much other than fix the bugs and add a few things. Please, if you do like the changes I've made or the work that has gone into the project, drop me a comment/message. React to this mod / show appreciation Most of all, use it! Have fun!
