View File Relighting TSL I'm working on fixing/updating a few areas with lighting issues. This first one is the Peragus force cage room where encounter Atton. The room is way too bright so I reworked the light sources and rebaked the lightmaps, using blender. The goal of this project is not to redo the lighting of the entire game. That would force me to touch every model and be a modding compatibility nightmare. I want to just target areas that stand out or look really bad. Feel free to suggest areas. Current Areas: - Peragus force cage room - Ebon Hawk Medical Room - Peragus Mining Tunnels - Military Base Sublevel Install: Download and extract each to the override directory. Acknowledgements: Papazino's Ultimate Ebon Hawk Repairs, which are included in the KOTOR 2 Community Patch. - I applied the same fixes, for the Ebon Hawk Med Bay model, to make it compatible.

Just a simple information to share to save ones from getting burnt-out, lol. Why we don't want to use TPC format for lightmaps? It broke the maps When put into a module/MOD file, it crashes your game upon reloading and/or exiting the game Stick only with the TGA for that one...

Hai hai. I've been playing KOTOR 1 and noticed that the textures are old and ugly, so I'm making my own upscaling mod using Gigapixel AI (not sure whether I should release it to the public if I finish it, there are already 10 million upscale mods for the game). While I'm at it, I've also noticed that the lightmaps in the game are very blurry and low-res, and I haven't seen any mods that tackle this (I can barely even find any documentation on modding lightmaps). What I was wondering, is if the lightmaps can be put out into a .TIF file or the like, and then upscaled. I've found a bunch of lightmaps.bif files in Kotor Tool, and under them there are TGA images, so it looks like a pretty simple process in terms of just outputting them and upscaling them. But I'm very inexperienced, and I just wanted to know: 1. Are the TGA images the actual textures that I'll need to upscale? 2. Will I have to rebake the lightmaps into the map (or do something such), or just plop those textures into Override and it'll work? I'm not sure if I worded all of this proper-like; this is my first time getting in the game's guts so I barely understand what I'm doing with the normal textures I'm upscaling, let alone the lightmaps that I've never touched. Help is appreciated. EDIT: Another thing - upscaling bumpmaps pretty much makes the game throw them out with errors when I boot it up, and things like Selkath and water just have no bumpmaps when loaded up that way. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but any help getting to the bottom of that would be very appreciated as well. I've attached the upscaled Selkath texture and bumpmap if that helps. n_selkath01b.tga n_selkath01.tga

File Name: A Darker Peragus REDUX File Submitter: Malkior File Submitted: 22 Oct 2015 File Category: Mods TSLRCM Compatible: Yes Using the techniques pioneered by the great modder Canderis, I have created my own version of the Darker Peragus formula. However, when working with the darker areas, I noticed that no matter what I did, all of the Plasteel Canisters and Footlockers were much too bright. And so, with the help of my modding compatriots, I have darkened all of the placeable items in the Peragus, Peragus Spacewalk, and Harbinger portions to match the darker lightmaps. To Install: Choose from either the full REDUX (WIth all of my customized lightmaps), or from the compatibility option (For those using Canderis' A Darker Peragus mod) (Note: There are two versions available to download. Use the A_Darker_Peragus_REDUX_TSLRCM if you have TSLRCM installed, and A_Darker_Peragus_REDUX_Vanilla if you don't) To Uninstall: 1) Replace the .mod files in your Modules folder with the .mod files found in the Backup folder created by the TSLPatcher, 2) Replace the placeables.2DA in your Override with the placeables.2DA from the Backup folder, and 3) Copy all of the TGA MDX and TXI files from the TSLPatchdata folder to your Override (let them overwrite files if they’re already there), and then delete them all from it Permissions: Please inform me if you would like to use this mod or its assets in your own projects.
