================================================================ IF YOU ARE EVER IN ANY DOUBT ABOUT INSTALLING ANY MODS, PLEASE REMEMBER TO ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE INSTALLATION, JUST IN CASE. ================================================================ Description: This mod is more than just a simple process of running all the character textures through an A.I. upscaling program. The purpose is to increase the size and fidelity of the character textures while maintaining the painterly style of the original game artists. This mod does not attempt to create photo realistic textures or add extra detail (like zippers, clothing stitches, fabric patterns, skin pores, etc) that are not already part of the existing style. This mod also fixes many of the UVW mapping errors, lighting errors, and some XYZ errors that the original model .mdl & .mdx files may have had. The process followed is generally: run texture files through A.I. upscaling program multiple times using different settings. Some settings result in "crunchy" textures (high contrast, sharp edges). Some result in "soft" textures (smooth gradients, lower contrast, blurry edges). Some result in better straight/parallel lines. Early tests used Vance AI; Deep Image; ImageUpscaler; or Let's Enhance. Eventually Topaz Labs' Gigapixel AI was chosen and used on the majority of textures. combine textures in multi layered Photoshop file, using layer masks to isolate the best parts of each upscaled image. This allows for some portions to be smooth (like skin, glass, metal or tubing), others to be sharp (like burlap, skin folds, hair, scratches, etc). touch up by manually painting away errors (such as jaggies due to original low resolution jpeg compression). manually recolor areas that the original artists missed (like commoner clothes where the pants seat do not match the pant leg; or player armors where pouches are inconsistent between male & female; etc). strategically add painted detail (such as highlights and shadows along the shoulders and neck of K1 Player Character soldier's underwear; adding glove details to armors F, G, H, I, J; etc). painting personal choices (like changing K1 P_BastilaBA02 to have different pants and remove wrist & neck restraints than P_BastilaBAS01 slave outfit). recreating entire textures (such as K1 Player Character male scoundrel dark side underwear PMBASD01). fix the models' UVW maps to reduce some texture stretching (like collar of TSL robes I); adjust areas that are poorly mapped to the wrong locations or too large/small (such as Bao Dur's armor C & D chest is mirrored); fix edge seams from one area to another; close gaps (like Mission's arms). manually fix texture seams by copying small areas of the image from one area to another; stretching and scaling them. This should result in model seams that are hidden or difficult to notice. sometimes the Alpha 1 channel is upscaled, but usually it is recreated directly from the final HD color texture. personal choice to add punchthrough transparency to the Alpha 1 channels of some female head models' eyelashes (like P_BastilaH04, P_MiraH, P_HandmaidenH & P_AtrisH01). recreate the Normal map (for bumpyshiny effects) from the final HD color texture. These work best when saved as .tpc format For most models, they only needed to be manipulated in 3DS Max, exported, and then run through Taina's replacer. This is usually sufficient to fix any XYZ and/or UVW coordinates. I prefer Taina's replacer method so that the model retains its smoothing groups data. For some models (like C_RancorS or C_Terantanak), Taina's won't work, so for those files, I had to resort to manually hex editing the binary .mdl & .mdx files. This is a much more labourious process, but in the end I got them to work. Some models (like P_Kreia1hBB, PFBNM, Twilek_F, N_TwiAssH01) had problems with their self generated lighting: ambient & diffuse were not set to 1 1 1 like most models. This causes the model to appear too dark or off color in-game. To fix this it required hex editing. A few models (such as P_KreiaBB) required fixing the model weights of individual verticies. This was done to reduce portions of the model clipping through other parts in different animations. Again, this was done by manually hex editing. For many head models, the UVW coordinates for the tongue and inside of mouth may be moved significantly, especially for the KotOR heads. This is because the originals often map the tongue to a single pixel located in the lips area, which results in almost no detail. By moving the UVW to a free area of the texture, there may be room for painting a detailed tongue. For the party members that have specific underwear textures and basic clothing textures, there has been an effort to make any skin areas (like hands & arms) match between them. Usually the hand area from the underwear texture is copied to the hand area of the clothes texture. This creates more consistency of the party characters' appearance. For low resolution versions of models (like C_Gammorean_Low, C_Protocol_Low, N_Swoopgang_low) or placeables (such as PLC_EndPlA, PLC_RakatCrp, PLC_HK50, Stunt_WarDrd01) the original textures were not simply upscaled. Instead, the new versions were actually taken from similar high resolution versions and scaled down. Sometimes the textures were rebuilt from parts of other higher resolution images, with some touch up painting. Several characters lost their baremetal shine in TSL (like the Mandalorians or SwoopGang). This is due to their model's default bitmap being set to "NULL" instead of their default texture's name. I was not able to repair the file to its K1 state, so a workaround was used instead. The word "NULL" was replaced with a shortened name, then a .txi file was created with the short name (for example "N_Ma" instead of "N_Mandalorian02"; or "N_Sw" instead of "N_Swoopgang01"). This allows for the envmaptexture CM_Baremetal to be used without the need to edit the appearance.2da file. Included is a spreadsheet labelled "KotOR upscale completed list v0_52.xlsx" which has more detailed information as to what files were changed, and in what ways. As of this update, 52.71% of the texture files that I intend to upscale have been completed. As such, this mod should be considered a beta test. The percentage is calculated for both games together, however the mod is released with files separated for K1 & TSL. The spreadsheet was created with Google Sheets and exported as .xlsx, so hopefully the formatting remains correct. I have also attached a copy of the spreadsheet to this mod thread. There will be three versions of this mod to choose to download: 4x .tga version. Highest resolution, the typical texture is now 2048x2048 pixels which = 16MB. This version is a total 7GB, hopefully it isn't too large or cause problems for some PCs. This version is also the best choice to use as a modder's resource. 4x .tpc version. CCreated by running full size .tgas through tga2tpc program which compresses a 2048x2048 pixel file to 5.5MB. This version is a total of 2.4GB, so it should be easier on PC systems, with no noticeable loss of visual fidelity. 2x .tpc version. Created by reducing full size .tgas by half in Photoshop, then running them through tga2tpc which further compresses them to 1.4MB. This version is a total of 700MB, which should be much easier on PC systems. All versions include the same .mdl & .mdx files. I have tested the .tga version exclusively, but have not tested the .tpc versions in-game. Please let me know if there are any issues. My computer doesn't seem to render some of the CM shader effects properly (especially the bumpyshinytexture CM_SpecMap always seems too strong on my computer). I would appreciate any in-game screen shots that you take of characters like Hutts, Rakghouls, Rakata, or Selkath so that I can compare how other computers render their shader. ================================================================ Compatiblity: For best results, the model and texture files included with this mod should be used together. In most cases, the models can be mixed and matched with textures from other mods, but results will vary. For instance, the other textures won't be as perfect along the seams. Some other photo realistic HD texture mods may have been created using the original model's UVW layout, which will not perfectly line up with this mod's corrected UVW maps. Conflicts may also occur if there is another mod uses a .tpc file with the same name as one of this mod's .tga files (or vice versa if you install one of the .tpc versions). I would suggest installing other large mods (such as "TSL Restored Content Mod") first, then this one. ================================================================ Installation: Copy and paste the desired model and texture files into TSL's Override folder. You may need to over write any existing files, so always have a backup. An effort was made that these textures and models require no 2da editing. The folder marked "Reference Normal Map" is not required to be copied to the Override forlder. These .tga files are simply a modders' resource. The normal maps seem to work best if they are saved in .tpc format. The "Copy contents to Override" folder should already have .tpc files in it for the normal maps. The folder marked "Optional Kreia model" includes models that change the diffuse & ambient lighting settings. More info in the additional read-me file. ================================================================ Uninstall: Delete unwanted files from the game's Override folder. ================================================================ Thanks for modding tools: KOTOR Tool – Fred Tetra mdlops (used version 7a2) - cchargin, JdNoa NWMax – Joco Replacer - Taina tga2tpc - ndix UR KotOR/KotOR2 Savegame Editor v3.3.2 - tk102, Fair Strides Hex-editor XVI32 2.55 - Christian Maas ================================================================ Permission: Consider this as a modder's resource.

A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Author: N-DReW25 1.2.0 Release Date: 27.01.2024 Installation: Alongside the "Readme.txt" file will be the following folders: "Audio Mods" "Movie Cutscene Mods" "Override Mods" * To install Audio Mods: Open the Audio Mods folder, open the Taris Sith Raid XBOX VO folder, open the Streamwaves and copy all 4 .WAV files to this directly (swkotor\streamwaves\m02aa\prer99) and overwrite the vanilla files. * To install Movie Cutscene Mods: Open the Movie Cutscene Mods folder, select which mod you'd like to install and simply copy the .BIK file into your swkotor "movies" folder and overwrite the original .BIK files. * To install Override Mods: Open the Override Mods folder, select which mod you'd like to install and copy the files within the mod folder into your swkotor "Override" folder. You cannot install both Dark Jedi mods as they use the same files, please pick only one Dark Jedi mod to install. Uninstallation: Depends on what you've chosen to uninstall. * For Audio Mods, open the "Backup (Vanilla Files)" and copy the .WAVs inside to the prer99 folder and overwrite the Xbox .WAVs you added. * For Movie Cutscene Mods, open the "Backup (Vanilla Cutscenes)" folder and copy the .BIKs inside to your swkotor movies folder and overwrite the Xbox .BIKs. * For Override mods, delete the files you copied into your Override. Description: As you may know, or may even remember, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic was released on July 15 2003 whilst the PC edition was released on November 19 2003. Obviously, the original Xbox console from 2003 has gone out of fashion a LONG time ago and 95% of the Kotor Modding and Gaming Community in general have migrated over to the glorious PC Master- *Cough* I mean, to the PC. But did you know that Bioware gave Kotor one final improvement before releasing the full game to the PCs? if you've actually played Kotor on the original Xbox (Or maybe even the Xbox 360, Xbox One or even the Xbox Series X) then you'll recall how on the Console edition of Kotor had a variety of oddities like lower resolution textures, different appearances for NPCs, incorrect appearances for NPCs, alternative VO, bugs/glitches, Yavin 4 being locked behind DLC and more... This mod pack is similar to my TSL Mini Mod Collection mod, every update to the KOTOX will include more Xbox inspired mods for the player to install and experience. Known Bugs: This mod shouldn't have bugs but if there is Just PM me on Deadlystream. Incompatibilities: Would be incompatible with any mods which modify the Taris Sith Raid dlg, the legal and Revan's death .BIKs and any Dark Jedi texture mods. Report any unknown incompatibilities to me on Deadlystream.com. Permissions: Do NOT claim credit for this mod and do not use assets from this mod without my permission. Thanks to: l2daorch: For contributing the Taris Sith Raid audio! DarthParametric: For contributing the Xbox textures! DrMcCoy and DarthParametric (again): For helping me with Xoreo's Tools! Effix: For helping me operate the Command Prompt! Asxdefter on YouTube: For his 2010 playthrough of Kotor on the Xbox 360. His Kotor videos were a massive inspiration for making this mod! BlueShadePlays on YouTube: For their 2017 playthrough of Kotor on the Xbox One. As the Xbox One Kotor has 1080p support, their Kotor videos provided HD crystal clear footage of the Xbox features which I recreated in this mod! Bioware: For such an amazing game! JCarter428: For SithCodec! Stoffee: For TSLPatcher! Fred Tetra: For Kotor Tool!

THE DANTOOINE ADDITIONAL NPC OVERHAUL Changes key NPCs (not related to the Sandrals or Matales) to have unique -- or at least unique-adjacent -- heads and appearances. For Dantooine this means the following: Various ambient Jedi get their heads swapped from primary to secondary commoners--no more duplicates who won't talk to you. This includes one Courtyard Jedi who is now an orange Twi'lek--call it a diversity win. Crattis is made orange to help set him apart from Karl. Sol'aa has his green Xbox appearance restored so nobody can call me prejudiced against Twi'leks or the colour green. Elise (the droid kriffer) gets blonde hair and red lipstick. She's lonely and deserves nice things maybe. Lur Arka gets a unique red Twi'lek head based off of Xor's unique Twi'lek head. He also will be wearing a darker clothing variant just to make him stand out a bit more. For the quests proper: Nemo gets a new head based off a mix between Vrook and the Old Commoner head he had before. Corpse changed to match. Jon the farmer gets a new (blond) head with facial hair, based off PMHC03. Sherruk gets a unique red Mandalorian appearance where Mandalorian symbols are featured prominently on his chestplate as well as his back. Rickard Lusoff gets a unique head based off PMHA05, as well as a skintone-on-glove-appropriate smuggler's outfit, to give him that hunter-loanshark look he was always meant to have. (For best results, pair with DarthParamedic's TOR Ports: Handon's Enhanced Waistline). Big ups to the modding community who love the game as much for what it is as what it could be. All work is mine and may only be used with permission. I didn't spend hours bouncing between Kotor Tool, GIMP, various image upscaling websites, and a new override folder just to have the credit stolen. -

=KotOR 1 Twi'lek Male NPC Diversity= A KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC MODIFICATION AUTHOR: Leilukin FILE NAME: K1 Twi'lek Male NPC Diversity.7z LATEST VERSION: 1.1.6 CONTACT: E-mail to leilukin@outlook.com, or message to Leilukin on Deadly Stream 1. DESCRIPTION: In vanilla KotOR 1, Twi'lek NPCs have a very limited variety of designs. This mod aim to diversify the appearances of Twi'lek male NPCs, by giving the named Twi'lek male NPCs different looks instead of the generic NPC looks to set them apart. The Twi'lek male NPCs affected by this mod include: Larrim, a merchant in the South Apartments of the Taris Upper City Uriah, a Pazaak card seller in Javyar's Cantina Bib Surool in Javyar's Cantina Matrik in the Lower City East Apartment on Taris Crattis Yurkal, a merchant in the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine Deesra Luur Jada, a Jedi Knight in the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine Kandon Ark in the Black Vulkar Base on Taris Karal Kaar, a merchant in the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine Lur Arka Sulas in the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine Bolook at the Dantooine grove Nico Senvi, a swoop racer on Tatooine Ganda Kaitoova, a swoop race fan on Tatooine Senni Vek, messenger of the GenoHaradan quest line Vek in the swoop registration on Manaan Ziagrom, messenger of Mika Dorin's premium store The unique appearances of these NPCs are created by utilizing the assets from Ashton Scorpius' Better Twi'lek Male Heads for K1 Enhancement Pack modder's resource, which is based on the Twi'lek NPC assets from SpaceAlex's K1 Enhancement Pack, which has been released as a modder's resource. Ashton Scorpius' K1 Better Twi'lek Male Heads mod is not required for this mod to work, but I recommend installing Ashton's mod alongside this mod for visual consistency between the Twi'lek male NPC heads. For the best experience with this mod, it is recommended to load a save before visiting Taris for the first time. 2. INSTALLATION: Extract the K1 Twi'lek Male NPC Diversity.7z archive you downloaded to anywhere you like, as long as it is not within the KotOR directory. Run Install.exe, point the installer to your KotOR directory, where swkotor.exe is located, and let the installer do its job. I also provide upscaled head textures for the Twi'lek male NPCs as an optional installation. After installing the main part of this mod, go to the "Optional - Upscaled Textures" folder, drop the files into the Override folder in your KotOR directory and overwrite files when prompted. If you prefer the Twi'lek men's "blubber" necks in the vanilla game, or you choose to install Option B of Ashton Scorpius' K1 Better Twi'lek Male Heads, after installing the main part of this mod, go to the "Optional - Original Necks" folder, drop the files into the Override folder in your directory and overwrite files when prompted. When you install this mod, two new folders named "backup" and “uninstall” will be created by the installer in the same folder as the installer. Do not delete the folders or any of the files within the folder if you are planning on uninstalling this mod. If you also want to use N-DReW25's Restored Content for K1CP (RC-K1CP) and/or Senni Vek Mod, you need to run Install.exe again, select either “RC-K1CP/Senni Vek Restoration Compatibility” OR "Senni Vek's Ambush Compatibility" installation option, depending on which version of Senni Vek Mod you installed, and point the installer to the directory of your KotOR game. Make sure you have installed the “Main Installation” component of the mod before installing this compatibility patch. 3. UNINSTALLATION: Run Install.exe and select your KotOR directory where you installed this mod. From the “Tools” dropdown menu, select “Uninstall Mod / Restore Backup”, then confirm to uninstall the mod. If you have also installed one of the compatibility patches for N-DReW25's Restored Content for K1CP or Senni Vek Mod, the installer will uninstall the patch first. After uninstalling the patch, you need to select Yes to delete the most recent backup folder, then select “Uninstall Mod / Restore Backup” from the dropdown menu again to uninstall the main part of my mod. 4. KNOWN ISSUES: None currently known. If you find any bugs or problems, please let me know. 5. MOD COMPATIBILITY: This mod is not compatible with any other mods that modify or change the heads of the Twi'lek male NPCs affected by this mod (see the Description section above for a full list of the NPCs).

=KotOR 1 No Gendered Dialogue from Male NPCs= A KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC MODIFICATION AUTHOR: Leilukin FILE NAME: K1_No_Gendered_Dialogue_Male_NPCs.7z LATEST VERSION: 1.2 CONTACT: E-mail to leilukin@outlook.com, or message to Leilukin on Deadly Stream 1. DESCRIPTION: In KotOR 1, certain male NPCs' dialogue will be different if the player character is female, by flirting with the female PC, remarking on the female PC's gender or appearance, or even scamming the female PC, while not giving such treatment to a male PC. This mod removes those gendered dialogue from male NPCs and aims to make those male NPCs interact with a female PC in the same way as with a male PC, or at least as similar as possible. The male NPCs affected by this mod include: Jordo, messager for Carth's personal quest Jergan in the Upper City Cantina on Taris Holdan in Javyar's Cantina on Taris Tanis Venn on Tatooine Viglo on Manaan Jorak Uln on Korriban In the case of Jergan, who will attempt to scam a female PC out of money, this mod removes him from the game entirely, because his dialogue to a male PC involves him referring to the PC as a man and suggesting that he is trying to get women's attention, so it will not make any sense for a female PC to get such dialogue. Additionally, unlike most of the other male NPCs affected by this mod, there is zero side quest or reward to gain from talking to Jergan at all. This mod has two different ways to alter Holdan and Tanis Venn: Edit Holdan and Tanis dialogue to prevent them from hitting on the femlae PC, while keeping their side quests. This option is for players who still want to do their side quests for the rewards. Remove Holdan and Tanis from the game entirely. This option is for players who do not mind missing out their side quests. Unfortunately, Dia and Marlena Venn also have to be removed from the game due to them heavily tied to Holdan and Tanis' side quests. The dialogue of Zax, Komad Fortuna, Dorak Quinn are edited to remove mentions to Holdan and Tanis. NOTE: This installation option is NOT compatible with non-English localizations of KotOR. 2. INSTALLATION: Extract K1_No_Gendered_Dialogue_Male_NPCs.7z you downloaded to anywhere you like, as long as it is not within the KotOR directory. Run Install.exe, you will see the installer presents two installation option. You may choose ONLY ONE of these options: Holdan and Tanis Venn Dialogue Edit: Removes male NPCs' gendered dialogue and Jergan from the game. Holdan and Tanis Venn's side quests will still be available. Holdan and Tanis Venn Removal: Removes male NPCs' gendered dialogue, Jergan, Holdan and Tannis Venn from the game. You will no longer be able to do Holdan and Tannis Venn's side quests. Once you selected the option you want, point the installer to your KotOR directory, where swkotor.exe is located, and let the installer do its job. If you have installed other mods, when you install my mod, you may receive warnings about the installer skipping at least one .mod file because it already exists in your Modules folder. Do not need to worry about those warnings, as it is just the way I set up the installer to ensure my mod will be installed properly if you are not using any other mods. When you install this mod, a new folder named "backup" will be created by the installer in the same folder as the installer. Do not delete the folder or the file within the folder if you plan to uninstall this mod. 3. UNINSTALLATION: Go to the "backup" folder created by the installer of this mod, cut and paste the MOD files into the Modules folder in your KotOR directory. The MOD files include: korr_m38ab.mod manm26aa.mod tar_m02ae.mod tar_m03ae.mod tar_m02aa.mod* tat_m17ad.mod* tat_m18aa.mod* (*Only if you installed the Holdan and Tanis Venn Removal option) If there is no DLG file present in your backup folder, go to the Override folder in your KotOR directory, and delete the following files: k_hjordo_dialog.dlg tat17_03tanis_01.dlg** tat18_10tanis_01.dlg** (**Only if you installed the Holdan and Tanis Venn Dialogue Edit option) If there is any DLG file present in your backup folder, cut any DLG file(s) from the backup folder, then go to the Override folder in your KotOR directory, and delete the rest of the aforementioned DLG files that did not have a backup copy. 4. KNOWN ISSUES: None currently known. If you find any bugs or problems, please let me know. 5. MOD COMPATIBILITY: Any other mods that modify any of the following dialogue files may conflict with this mod: k_hjordo_dialog.dlg — Jordo's dialogue tar03_holdan031.dlg — Holdan's dialogue tat17_03tanis_01.dlg — Tanis Venn’s dialogue in the Hunting Lodge on Tatooine tat18_10tanis_01.dlg — Tanis Venn’s dialogue at the Tatooine Dune Sea man26_viglo.dlg — Viglo's dialogue kor38b_jorakuln.dlg — Jorak Uln's dialogue The Holdan and Tanis Venn Removal version of this mod may also conflict with mods that modify the following dialogue files: tar03_zax031.dlg — Zak's dialogue tat17_03komad_01.dlg — Komad Fortuna’s dialogue in the Hunting Lodge on Tatooine tat17_03dorak_01.dlg — Dorak Quinn’s dialogue I have set up TSLPatcher to install this mod by patching the relevant dialogue files to improve compatibility with other mods as much as possible, but it is still not fully guaranteed to be compatible with every other mods that modify the same dialogue files. This mod is compatible with KOTOR 1 Community Patch (K1CP). I recommend installing my mod after K1CP. If you want to use KotOR 1 Restoration (K1R), you need to install this mod after K1R. This mod can be installed alongside JC's Romance Enhancement: Pan-Galactic Flirting for K1, however you will not be able to get Viglo's comment about the player character's body regardless of the player character's gender. 6. PERMISSION: You may do whatever you want with this mod, including using this mod's assets in your own mod. Credit is appreciated but not necessary. 7.

View File 4x Upscale+ Character Textures & Model Fixes ================================================================ IF YOU ARE EVER IN ANY DOUBT ABOUT INSTALLING ANY MODS, PLEASE REMEMBER TO ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE INSTALLATION, JUST IN CASE. ================================================================ Description: This mod is more than just a simple process of running all the character textures through an A.I. upscaling program. The purpose is to increase the size and fidelity of the character textures while maintaining the painterly style of the original game artists. This mod does not attempt to create photo realistic textures or add extra detail (like zippers, clothing stitches, fabric patterns, skin pores, etc) that are not already part of the existing style. This mod also fixes many of the UVW mapping errors, lighting errors, and some XYZ errors that the original model .mdl & .mdx files may have had. The process followed is generally: run texture files through A.I. upscaling program multiple times using different settings. Some settings result in "crunchy" textures (high contrast, sharp edges). Some result in "soft" textures (smooth gradients, lower contrast, blurry edges). Some result in better straight/parallel lines. Early tests used Vance AI; Deep Image; ImageUpscaler; or Let's Enhance. Eventually Topaz Labs' Gigapixel AI was chosen and used on the majority of textures. combine textures in multi layered Photoshop file, using layer masks to isolate the best parts of each upscaled image. This allows for some portions to be smooth (like skin, glass, metal or tubing), others to be sharp (like burlap, skin folds, hair, scratches, etc). touch up by manually painting away errors (such as jaggies due to original low resolution jpeg compression). manually recolor areas that the original artists missed (like commoner clothes where the pants seat do not match the pant leg; or player armors where pouches are inconsistent between male & female; etc). strategically add painted detail (such as highlights and shadows along the shoulders and neck of Player Character soldier's underwear; adding glove details to armors F, G, H, I, J; etc). painting personal choices (like changing P_BastilaBA02 to have different pants and remove wrist & neck restraints than P_BastilaBAS01 slave outfit). recreating entire textures (such as Player Character male scoundrel dark side underwear PMBASD01). fix the models' UVW maps to reduce some texture stretching (like collar of TSL robes I); adjust areas that are poorly mapped to the wrong locations or too large/small (such as PFBD collar); fix edge seams from one area to another; close gaps (like Mission's arms). manually fix texture seams by copying small areas of the image from one area to another; stretching and scaling them. This should result in model seams that are hidden or difficult to notice. sometimes the Alpha 1 channel is upscaled, but usually it is recreated directly from the final HD color texture. personal choice to add punchthrough transparency to the Alpha 1 channels of some female head models' eyelashes (like P_BastilaH04). recreate the Normal map (for bumpyshiny effects) from the final HD color texture. These work best when saved as .tpc format For most models, they only needed to be manipulated in 3DS Max, exported, and then run through Taina's replacer. This is usually sufficient to fix any XYZ and/or UVW coordinates. I prefer Taina's replacer method so that the model retains its smoothing groups data. For some models (like C_RancorS or C_Terantanak), Taina's won't work, so for those files, I had to resort to manually hex editing the binary .mdl & .mdx files. This is a much more labourious process, but in the end I got them to work. A few models required fixing the model weights of individual verticies. This was done to reduce portions of the model clipping through other parts in different animations. Again, this was done by manually hex editing. For many head models, the UVW coordinates for the tongue and inside of mouth may be moved significantly, especially for the KotOR heads. This is because the originals often map the tongue to a single pixel located in the lips area, which results in almost no detail. By moving the UVW to a free area of the texture, there may be room for painting a detailed tongue. For the party members that have specific underwear textures and basic clothing textures, there has been an effort to make any skin areas (like hands & arms) match between them. Usually the hand area from the underwear texture is copied to the hand area of the clothes texture. This creates more consistency of the party characters' appearance. For low resolution versions of models (like C_Gammorean_Low, C_Protocol_Low, N_Swoopgang_low) or placeables (such as PLC_EndPlA, PLC_RakatCrp, Stunt_WarDrd01) the original textures were not simply upscaled. Instead, the new versions were actually taken from similar high resolution versions and scaled down. Sometimes the textures were rebuilt from parts of other higher resolution images, with some touch up painting. Included is a spreadsheet labelled "KotOR upscale completed list v0_52.xlsx" which has more detailed information as to what files were changed, and in what ways. As of this update, 52.71% of the texture files that I intend to upscale have been completed. As such, this mod should be considered a beta test. The percentage is calculated for both games together, however the mod is released with files separated for K1 & TSL. The spreadsheet was created with Google Sheets and exported as .xlsx, so hopefully the formatting remains correct. I have also attached a copy of the spreadsheet to this mod thread. There will be three versions of this mod to choose to download: 4x .tga version. Highest resolution, the typical texture is now 2048x2048 pixels which = 16MB. This version is a total 5.2GB, hopefully it isn't too large or cause problems for some PCs. This version is also the best choice to use as a modder's resource. 4x .tpc version. Created by running full size .tgas through tga2tpc program which compresses a 2048x2048 pixel file to 5.5MB. This version is a total of 1.8GB, so it should be easier on PC systems, with no noticeable loss of visual fidelity. 2x .tpc version. Created by reducing full size .tgas by half in Photoshop, then running them through tga2tpc which further compresses them to 1.4MB. This version is a total of 530MB, which should be much easier on PC systems. All versions include the same .mdl & .mdx files. I have tested the .tga version exclusively, but have not tested the .tpc versions in-game. Please let me know if there are any issues. Most of the screenshots have been taken in TSL, because I find that it renders the characters better and has higher resolution screen grabs. My computer doesn't seem to render some of the CM shader effects properly (especially the bumpyshinytexture CM_SpecMap always seems too strong on my computer). I would appreciate any in-game screen shots that you take of characters like Hutts, Rakghouls, Rakata, or Selkath so that I can compare how other computers render their shader. ================================================================ Compatiblity: For best results, the model and texture files included with this mod should be used together. In most cases, the models can be mixed and matched with textures from other mods, but results will vary. For instance, the other textures won't be as perfect along the seams. Some other photo realistic HD texture mods may have been created using the original model's UVW layout, which will not perfectly line up with this mod's corrected UVW maps. Conflicts may also occur if there is another mod uses a .tpc file with the same name as one of this mod's .tga files (or vice versa if you install one of the .tpc versions). I would suggest installing other large mods (such as "KotOR 1 Restoration" or "KOTOR 1 Community Patch") first, then this one. ================================================================ Installation: Copy and paste the desired model and texture files into KotOR's Override folder. You may need to over write any existing files, so always have a backup. An effort was made that these textures and models require no 2da editing. The folder marked "Reference Normal Map" is not required to be copied to the Override forlder. These .tga files are simply a modders' resource. The normal maps seem to work best if they are saved in .tpc format. The "Copy contents to Override" folder should already have .tpc files in it for the normal maps. ================================================================ Uninstall: Delete unwanted files from the game's Override folder. ================================================================ Thanks for modding tools: KOTOR Tool – Fred Tetra mdlops (used version 7a2) - cchargin, JdNoa NWMax – Joco Replacer - Taina tga2tpc - ndix UR KotOR/KotOR2 Savegame Editor v3.3.2 - tk102, Fair Strides Hex-editor XVI32 2.55 - Christian Maas ================================================================ Permission: Consider this as a modder's resource. I give permission to any modder to use these files as a base for their own creations; as long as their creation remains free to use (not for profit); and credit is given to me as the source of any modded files. Please include a statement that specifies this mod's title and version. The original credit of course goes to the talented artists who worked on the original games for BioWare and Obsidian. Without their work, none of this would have been possible. I have tried my best to maintain the artistic style that they created long ago. This mod may NOT be uploaded or redistributed, in whole or in part, to any mod hosting site without my explicit permission. As always, this mod is free for your non-commercial/personal use. There should never be a requirement to pay for it. If you like the work I do, and would like to encourage me to create more, you can always donate to my tip jar at https://buymeacoffee.com/redrob416 where the funds collected will be used towards additional graphics tools and software. ================================================================ THIS MODIFICATION IS PROVIDED AS-IS AND IS NOT SUPPORTED BY BIOWARE CORP/OBSIDIAN ENTERTAINMENT OR LUCASARTS OR ANY LICENSERS/SPONSORS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COMPANIES. USE OF THIS FILE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND THE AFOREMENTIONED COMPANIES OR THE AUTHORS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR COMPUTER FOR THE USAGE OF THIS FILE. KotOR upscale completed list v0_52.xlsx Submitter redrob41 Submitted 02/06/2025 Category Skins K1R Compatible No For anyone wondering why I listed it as not compatible with K1 Restoration Project, I found that there were four texture files that conflict: PMBE06.tga PMBBS01.tga PFBE06.tga PFBBS01.tga It will be up to you, the user, to decide if you want to use the lower resolution (but painted black) textures that come with K1R; or if you want to use my higher resolution textures. It will simply be a matter of overwriting the files when you drop them into the Override folder. Beyond that I didn't see any conflicts with .mdl, .mdx, .tpc, or .txi files. But if anyone comes across any issues, please let me know.

Author: Kainzorus Prime Mod Name: NPC Overhaul Mod ************************* Under NO circumstances is this, or any of my other, mod(s) to be posted on ANY site other than by myself. ************************* 1. Info =========== This mod attempts to fix the ‘clone effect’ which TSL is notorious for, across multiple locations. It differentiates the NPCs in an attempt to eliminate several of them looking identical in one location, due to the way it was set up by Obsidian. It also provides a different clothing for each starting Jedi class, rather than conform to a single texture across all of them. Several shaders across multiple characters are also restored, such as the Mandalorians, Hutts, droids, etc. 2. Installation: ========= Run the patcher for each listed location and let it do its magic. I apologize for the need to run it several times, but it’s the only viable way. 3. Credits: =========== Special thanks to: Holowan Laboratories - For all the great resources. 4. DISCLAIMER: =============== This Mod is not supported by LucasArts, Bioware or Obsidian.

NPC Diversity Pack [K1] A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Author: N-DReW25 0.10.0 Beta Release Date: 02.01.2025 Installation: Please install the K1 Community Patch FIRST before this mod! If you plan on using it, install the Unofficial K1CP Tweak Pack mod SECOND (This mod is optional and is NOT required for this mod to work)! Once you click on the HoloPatcher.exe, you'll be given a few install options. 1) Main mod: Installs the main component of the mod, it edits over 600 NPCs with changes to their appearances, weapons, soundsets, and more! 2) Player Head Commoners: This install will add new commoner NPC variants who use the player heads. This option will greatly diversify the Kotor galaxy as it'll greatly reduce the generic commoner head count and with so many new player head commoners it's unlikely you'd see two of the same NPC variant in the same playthrough. If a player head commoner uses the player's head, it will be swapped for another head (So if you're playing Mullet Man then the Mullet Man commoner who appears in-game will use a different head). You WILL have to install this option AFTER the main mod. IT IS ADVISED THAT YOU INSTALL PLAYER HEAD COMMONERS SECOND (AFTER THE MAIN MOD BUT BEFORE THE OTHER OPTIONS) 3) Fat Commoners: This install will add generic commoner NPCs who use the fat commoner body model. In vanilla, only two fat commoner variants exist and they both use player heads, the female variant is cut whilst the male variant is only used once or twice. This install adds fat commoner variants which all use the generic NPC heads and places them randomly throughout the game ensuring that fat NPCs will be found in normal gameplay. This install uses DarthParametric's Fat Commoner Body Models Modder's Resource to improve the UVs of the models, allowing for compatibility with clothing variant textures and modded clothing variant textures like Dark Hope's NPC Clothing mods and my K1 Clothing Pack mod. 4) Onderon Commoners: This install will add generic commoner NPCs who use the Onderon commoner body model. In K2, Onderonian commoner NPCs wear unique robe-like clothing which differentiates them from the default commoner NPCs. This install adds Onderonian commoner variants which all use the generic NPC heads and places them randomly throughout the game ensuring that Onderonian commoner NPCs will be found in normal gameplay. Though just because this install is called "Onderonian Commoner" it doesn't mean these NPCs are Onderonian, depending on the texture these new Onderonian commoner variants will replace rich noble and poor downtrodden NPCs alike. The Onderonian commoner textures used in this install come from Effixian's Zeison Sha/Jal Shey to Onderon Clothing mod. Description: As with many modders, I have a vision for a comprehensive NPC Overhaul. This mod is currently in a BETA stage, whilst I don't expect bugs, I do expect player criticism/feedback alongside reports of possible mod conflicts with certain mods... updates will be released to fix any possible bugs, add popular player suggestions, possible hotfixes for incompatible mods and new content as they become possible. What does this mod do? This mod is comprised of several smaller mods that have been merged into one big mod, resulting in an immersive NPC Overhaul which is compatible with the K1 Community Patch. This mod swaps the heads of hundreds of NPCs to prevent the 'clone' effect, it replaces the low poly Lite NPCs with actual NPC appearances, it diversifies the clothing, armor and weapons worn by NPCs without touching any of the NPC Loot drops, it modifies the .GIT files in some areas to remove duplicated NPCs, it swaps the soundsets of over 200 NPCs so that the enemies you fight have a truly random "death grunt" sound as they die and MORE! With this mod, over 600 NPCs will be affected (including NPCs which are commonly affected by other mods). It is HIGHLY advised to install this mod (AFTER the K1CP mod) BEFORE you install any new appearance mods. For example, Galaxy of Faces is a mod which adds new appearances. Installing the NPC-DP BEFORE that mod will allow you to have GoF appearances alongside the NPC-DP's NPC Overhaul as intended. Known Bugs: This mod shouldn't have bugs, but if there are feel free to report it to me on Deadlystream. Incompatibilities: Please report any incompatibilities! Player head commoners are affected by player head reskins, if you install weird player head reskins (The Mullet Man to DC Universe Joker for example) then the player head commoner with Mullet Man's head will use that skin. Permissions: Do NOT claim credit for this mod and do not use assets from this mod without my permission. Any assets that I've used that are not mine that come from mods like Modder's Resources and mods where the author has declared free use in their readmes can be used in your own mod.

View File Complete Sith Academy [BETA] A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Author: N-DReW25 1.0.0 Release Date: 14.11.2024 Installation: Simply click on the HoloPatcher.exe, click install and sit back and watch the HoloPatcher do its magic. Description: In the first Kotor game, the Korriban Sith Academy had two inaccessible rooms that were locked behind static doors (meaning you can't interact with them). Throughout the Kotor games, there are many static doors that lead nowhere. These doors exist to imply that the levels are bigger than what they actually are... you just don't get to see the full area. If you were to use mods to open these statics doors, in most cases you will find that there is no room behind these doors as the developers didn't intend for those doors to be opened, the same is true for the Sith Academy's two hidden rooms. In the second Kotor game, you revisit Korriban and get to see the areas you travelled through five years after the first game. Obsidian added two new rooms behind the previously inaccessible doors that led nowhere in the first game, a Library and a Teacher's Dormitory. For over 15 years, player's have known that a Library and Teacher's Dormitory canonically existed behind the static doors of the Sith Academy in the first game but couldn't do anything about it... until now. At the end of 2024, the modder Thor110 ported the Library and Teacher's Dormitory from the second game to the first and released it as a modder's resource. And using this modder's resource, I have made the Complete Sith Academy mod for K1. The Library and the Teacher's Dormitory from the second game has been populated with objects and NPCs to make these areas "fit in" with the visual aesthetics and the environment of the first game. The NPC Tamlen has been moved into the Library whilst the Sith Teacher with Tamlen has also been moved to the Teacher's Dormitory, the dueling Sith Students and the Sith Teacher overseeing them have also been moved to the room outside the Academy to prevent a bug where you can hear the clashing of Lightsabers from inside the Library if they kept in their original location. Sith Students have been added to the Library who study on the computers there, making them inaccessible to the player, and Sith Students have also been added to the Teacher's Dormitory alongside the Sith Teacher already in there. The Footlockers you find in the second game CANNOT be opened, but I have added new Footlockers and other objects you can open to the Teacher's Dormitory alongside a Workbench. You can expect to leave the Korriban Academy with some rare, albeit weak, items you wouldn't have received otherwise. There are no custom made NPCs or side quests added in this mod, I wanted the new rooms to "fit in" with the rest of the game. I know other modders DO intend to make mods that adds the new Academy rooms like this mod, except their mods will have some form of side quest content. If they do develop and release these mods then those mods will probably be incompatible with this mod - when that time comes, you may have to choose between their mod & this mod. Known Bugs: If you click on the Sith Students on the computers too much, they stop doing their "typing" animations. This mod shouldn't have any bugs but if you find any please report them to me on Deadlystream. Incompatibilities: To be added! Permissions: Please speak with me if you wish to use this mod in your mod. Alternatively, you can download Thor110's modder's resource and use Holocron Toolset to add your own placeables to the module thus bypassing needing to use my mod as a base. Thanks to: Thor110: For making the amazing Sith Academy Missing Rooms modder's resource to begin with, without you this mod wouldn't exist!

Tired of seeing the same five people everywhere on Taris? Struggling to tell the Vulkars and Beks apart? Want your named quest-givers to stand out in a crowd? Then this is your mod. Uses TSLPatcher to make the following changes: [Main Mod] The serving staff now has a uniform more or less: red for Upper City, green for Javyar's Cantina. (Note: I chose to leave Gerlon in his red clothes with the logic that he's actively trying to blend into the background given that he's, y'know. A scammer.) Kandon Ark is now orange, and his bodyguard is green. Zelkor and Gurney both wear green now. Like unofficial Tarisian scrubs. Davik's Agent uses an alternate Black Commoner model, as does Hudron. Throughout the Lower City: Various modifications to the Vulkars and Beks to a) give them a little more gender/species equality and b) to color-code the gangs/alien stock models. Now when Matrik says you aren't in Hidden Bek colors, it might actually make sense. Beks: Blue/aqua Vulkars: Orange/red (Note: I left Davik's Estate unchanged. Based on Canderous's intro scene, it seems like Davik has an arrangement with the swoop gangs--either officially or on an individual basis. Indentured servitude: the Exchange at its finest.) In the Undercity: Hester now uses the Black Female Dirty Commoner model so she's not identical to both vanilla!Shaleena and one of the rakghoul victims. The Gate Guard Trewin has his name back. Igear is now Asian, while both of the beggars use different Black Commoner models (because we already have Gurney fullfilling almost the same role and that's just unfairly lazy). The Republic Soldier is in uniform. [Unique Heads] Dia now has a unique head based off PFHA02. Matrik has Zhar's head and wears Cinnegar Weave Armor. Holdan now has a unique head based off Dustil's, giving him a scruffy beard as well as a scar from Dia's vibroblade. Unique heads for Ice, Gerlon, and Marl based off PFHC03, PMHC05, and Gendar respectively, and a unique jumpsuit for Twitch colored to match the combat suits of his fellow duelists. Rukil has whiter hair, blue eyes, and a few tattoos/brands marking him as an Outcast and believer in the Promised Land. On the Swoop Track: Phirk gets a teal-colored jumpsuit to make him stand out while still following the Bek color scheme, while Redros has greener skin than his fellow Nikto and Doba has a morph of a regular and lite Rodian. [Undercity Culture] Gives all the Undercity commoners tattoos that say "Outcast" in Aurebesh. They aren't too obvious, but they do exist. [Optional Asian Shaleena] Gives Shaleena a unique Asian head based primarily on PFHA05. [Davik's Gamorrean Guest] Changes Davik's Rodian guest into a Gamorrean. For the lols. -

This is my first mod for KotOR and it's relatively simple. I was always quite annoyed by certain areas of the game having a major "clone" effect with some of the NPC's. This mod aims to fix that issue in just a few of the areas. I made sure to pick areas and NPC's to edit that did not affect other parts of the game, as some NPC's in some modules share files, I made sure to edit ones that would not conflict. The main areas this provides changes in are the Manaan cantina, swoop lounge, Korriban Sith Academy, and Valley of the Dark Lords. I also changed Fazza and Yortal (Ithorian merchant near the Sith embassy on Manaan). Fazza and Yortal were changed because, for some reason, most Ithorians you interact with in the game all have the exact same skin despite there being three different Ithorian skins. I changed some appearances in the Sith Academy to better reflect their roles. For example; the NPC's labeled "Sith Teacher" now have an older appearance (I also gave a few of them double bladed lightsabers to add to the variety). The Mandalorian in the Manaan cantina is wearing Mandalorian armor. The Echani mercenaries in that same area are now wearing Echani armor. The Sith academy guards that are at the doors are wearing red, while the ones patrolling are still wearing silver armor. Several Dreshdae NPC's were changed including the Czerka representative and the guard behind him (they were twins prior to this) as well as one of the Rodian's in the cantina. All the changes I put forth were done to both add variety and make some sense within the context of the world (like giving the Echani mercs Echani armor). Where I was able to, I changed heads so there wouldn't be as many twins standing beside each other or in the same room and for some NPC's that had a bit more dialogue, I tried giving them less used/seen head appearances. Compatibility: This mod uses TSLPatcher to inject the changes directly into the module files. If you are using Sith Uniform Reformation, then the only incompatible files will be those for the Sith guards on Korriban (therefore you can choose to keep the armored Sith guards or the ones from that mod). This mod is compatible with K1CP, though you MUST install the K1CP first. I highly recommend you have JC's Back in Black mod installed first as well. This is NOT meant to be used with any other major NPC diversity mods that change these specific NPC's, as it won't be compatible. For the changes to take place, you MUST NOT have entered the areas where this modifies NPC's. Either start a new game or load a save prior to entering the specific areas of change. (I am utilizing several @Dark Hope skins in my screenshots. I recommend checking her content out, as her retextures are top notch) Big thanks to @Effix +@Leilukin + @N-DReW25 + @JCarter426for their help! If anyone runs into any issues with this at all, please DM me here. -

A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic Author: N-DReW25 1.0.0 Release Date: 22.03.2022 1.1.0 Release Date: 05.12.2022 Installation: 1) This mod requires .MOD files in order to work, these can be aquired by installing the K1 Community Patch. 2) Install the K1CP first: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1258-kotor-1-community-patch/ 3) If you plan on using the Female Republic Soldier Restoration mod, install that mod AFTER K1CP and BEFORE this mod: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2022-female-republic-soldier-restoration/ 4)Once you have that mod installed, simply click on this mod's INSTALL.exe, click install, sit back and watch the TSLPatcher do its magic. 5) This next part is OPTIONAL, open the "Female Republic Commando Patch" folder within this mod, click on the patch's INSTALL.exe and install it as well. This option will replace one of the Endar Spire Commandos with a female Commando. Recommended, but not required, mods to install are: * [K1] Form of Soldier HD "International Global Mod", turns the Commando bodies HD: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1341-k1-form-of-soldier-hd-international-global-mod/ * Republican Soldier HD, turns the male Commando head HD: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1864-republican-soldier-hd/ * Republican Soldier Woman HD, turns the female Commando head HD: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1870-republican-soldier-woman-hd/ * Trask Ulgo HD, turns Trask's texture HD to keep him consistent with the other 3 mods: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1863-trask-ulgo-hd/ Once installed together, these skins will affect the Republic Commando NPCs in my mod as shown in the mod's screenshots. Description: For as long as Kotor has existed, modders and players alike have either made and/or played with mods which change the player character's stupid Soldier's outfit with a proper Republic uniform. This mod kinda does the same thing... but in my "non-biased" opinion, this mod does that better! 30th of March, 2008... a modder by the name of SilverEdge9 created a reskin of the male player's Soldier clothing which he used in his upcoming 2009 mod Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's Revenge (BOSSR). This Soldier texture was reskinned with the exact color palette as the Republic Soldier uniform, and for a texture made in 2008... it still looks amazing! The texture was only seen in a small section of the mod where it was used as the uniform of the "Republic Commando" NPCs (No relation to the 2005 "Republic Commando" Video Game). Sometime around 2014-2015, another modder, who has gone by many names but today goes by "Dark Hope", made the female version of BOSSR's Soldier outfit and released it to the Russian Kotor Community as part of a mod which added BOSSR's Republic Commando textures for the Soldier class. For the English Kotor Communities of Deadlystream and NexusMods, she created a beautiful 4K resolution texture inspired by the SilverEdge9's original design in 2018. What does my mod do?: 1st) It replaces the player's Soldier texture with SilverEdge9's male and Dark Hope's female Soldier textures. 2nd) It adds a brand new NPC called "Republic Commando", the new Republic Commando NPCs are elite Soldiers fighting for the Republic. In the lore, players who play the "Soldier" class are also Republic Commandos. You can find these Commandos on the Endar Spire, in the Undercity and on Manaan! 3rd) If you choose to install Dark Hope's Soldier clothing and Republic Soldier texture mods after installing this mod, the Republic Commando NPCs will use Dark Hope's textures instead. See "Installation" for details! Known Bugs: This mod shouldn't have bugs but if there is Just PM me on Deadlystream. Incompatibilities: Incompatible with any mods which modify the Soldier class clothing texture (This shouldn't break the game if you install the textures AFTER this mod, I recommend Dark Hope's textures as per the installation instructions). Incompatible with any mods which modify the Soldier class clothing model (no exceptions). This makes it incompatible with K1 NPC Overhaul as it changes the Soldier clothing model to a Republic uniform model. Report any unknown incompatibilities to me on Deadlystream.com Permissions: Do NOT claim credit for this mod and do not use assets from this mod without my permission. SilverEdge9 gave everyone permission to use his BOSSR assets, this includes the male Soldier skin. You'll have to ask Dark Hope for the female Soldier skin. Special Thanks to: Bioware: For such an amazing game! SilverEdge9: For creating the male Soldier texture for the Brotherhood of Shadow mod! Dark Hope: For creating the female Soldier texture and granting permission for me to release the texture alongside this mod Fred Tetra: For Kotor Tool! Stoffee: For TSLPatcher!

All the new items have icons, male and female skins, and stats. Main Square merchant sells new item type with seven or more new items Multiple options for the Jedi item types included in the archive. The default Jal Shey items will have new appearances. The items will work with your old saves. -To Install, Choose up to one of each type of armor, and then copy mod files from archive to Override in your SKotORII directory. -To uninstall, remove the mod files from your Override folder. Please note that the Armored Flight Suit replacements will change the merchant on Onderon, to a new merchant and inventory. It shouldn't affect escaping Onderon. This mod is best used with new game or relatively early game (before Dxun) Features: This mod does a number of things: It will offer replacement types for the Jedi Items (JS/ZS armors, robes types 1 & 2, armored flight suit, and Rakatan cloak) Flight Suit Armors/Jedi Heavy Armors (giveitem jediheavy25 - jediheavy34) are all sold by the Main Square merchant on Onderon.

This mod adds an armband to the game that allows you to spawn NPCs and control them. If you start a new game you will find the new item on Peragus - Administration Level after you leave the Medical Bay in the Medical Lab & Lab Station area in the very first lootable container. In existing playthroughs you need to use the console to add the item to your inventory, type "giveitem npc_collection" in the console. I still need to add more NPCs to the mod but it is in usable condition. -
This mod ports the only character from K1 that no one has transferred yet. It is very useful for those who want to make a standard Canderus out of a Mandalore canderous_ordo tsl.rar

A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic and Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic 2 Author: N-DReW25 1.0.0 Release Date: 29.01.2022 Installation: Consult this readme's description and the mod screenshots on Deadlystream to select which fix option you'd like to install. Open the folder which contains your fix option and drag or copy the texture/textures within and drop or paste them into your Kotor 1 or 2 Override folder. Recommendation from the mod author: Do NOT install the Caucasian Head option with the Tanned Hands option. Uninstallation: Delete the N_CommKidF01.tga, n_commkidm01.tga and/or N_childFH01.tga files from your Override folder. Description: The Children NPCs in both Kotor games have a few graphical inconsistencies with them, especially the female NPC. The ideal fix for these problems are entirely subjective with multiple solutions for the same problem, this mod is a "pack" of different fixes which will allow you to fix the bugs the way you see fit. The fix options: Bug A: The female child has a tanned head with white hands, thus resulting in mismatched skin. Fix 1: Caucasian Head, thus matching the head with the hands Fix 2: Gloved Children, covering the male and female hands with gloves thus hiding the hands. Fix 3: Tanned Hands, thus matching with the head. Bug B: The female child NPC uses the same hand texture as the male child, thus resulting in the female having masculine hands. Fix 1: Smooth Hands, this fix will smoothen out the hand textures. This option also has sub-options with smoothed Tanned Hands and a male version of the smoothed hands. Known Bugs: This mod shouldn't have bugs but if there is Just PM me on Deadlystream. Incompatibilities: Would be incompatible with any mods which modify N_CommKidF01.tga, n_commkidm01.tga and/or N_childFH01.tga. This mod is fully compatible with Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords. Permissions: Do NOT claim credit for this mod and do not use assets from this mod without my permission. Thanks to: Sith Holocron: For his feedback on my early mod screenshots. Bioware: For such an amazing game Fred Tetra: For Kotor Tool Stoffee: For TSLPatcher Everyone who downloads the mod!

HD NPC Portraits for Knights of the Old Republic 2 - The Sith Lords v1.1 - 20201004 - by ndix UR (DeadlyStream user) This modification adds 30 high resolution (1K) portrait images for NPCs. The 1K portraits have 64x the resolution of the 128x128 originals. The portraits are rendered to match the poses, colors, and lighting of the original images as closely as possible given the following constraints: Only vanilla textures (and my own additional maps based on same) are used While the textures are mostly crap, most of the work was in material setup using a modern rendering engine, so even the vanilla textures still wind up looking much better than they have any right to. This is because of real lights, shading, and materials, of which the original diffuse textures are only a part. I didn't really redo geometry, beyond appropriate use of edge split and subdivision surface modifiers. I did some amount of normalizing the gradients behind the characters. I think Disciple and Mira are the only ones with non-standard background gradients now. This package includes portrait for HK-50 and HK-51 units. They aren't used in any existing mods I'm aware of; I just put them in because they made sense to have. You can remove them if you wish. The Atris portrait is unused in the vanilla game but may be used by playable Atris mods. I only included it because it existed in the vanilla assets. INSTALL / UNINSTALL To install, copy the files from the package Override/ folder to the Override/ folder for your KOTOR game installation. To uninstall, remove the TPC files for this package from your KOTOR game Override/ folder.

=Dahnis Unique Look= A KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II: THE SITH LORDS MODIFICATION AUTHOR: Leilukin FILE NAME: Dahnis Unique Look.7z LATEST VERSION: 1.0 CONTACT: E-mail toleilukin@outlook.com, or message to Leilukin on Deadly Stream 1. DESCRIPTION: This mod gives the KotOR 2 NPC Dahnis a unique appearance, so she will look different from other Twi'lek women NPCs. Dahnis is one of the Pazaak players in the Pazaak Den on Nar Shaddaa, and one of the Pazaak players you need to defeat in order to draw out the Pazaak Champ. Compared to KotOR 1, Twi'lek NPCs in TSL have more variety in appearances, but some Twi'lek NPCs reuse the same looks from KotOR 1, with Dahnis being one of them, and Nar Shaddaa has at least one another Twi'lek woman NPC with the same appearance as Dahnis. Therefore, this mod is made to make Dahnis unique. This unique appearance of Dahnis is created by utilising one of the Twi'lek women textures from SpaceAlex's K1 Enhancement Pack, which has been released as a modder's resource. NOTE: In order for this mod to take effect, you must load a save before visiting Nar Shaddaa's Entertainment Promenade for the first time. 2. INSTALLATION: Extract the Dahnis Unique Look.7z you downloaded to anywhere you like, as long as it is not within the KotOR directory. Run Install.exe, point the installer to your KotOR 2 directory, where swkotor2.exe is located, and let the installer do its job. I also provide upscaled versions of the textures as an optional installation. After installing the main part of this mod, go to the "Optional - Upscaled Textures" folder, drop the files into the Override folder in your directory and overwrite files when prompted. During installation, a new folder named "backup" will be created by TSLPatcher in the same folder as the TSLPatcher. Do not delete the folder or any of the files within the folder if you are planning on uninstalling this mod. If you have installed The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM), when you install my mod, you will receive a warning about the installer skipping at least the 906NAR.mod file because it already exists in your Modules folder. Do not need to worry about this warning, as it is just the way I set up the installer to ensure my mod will be installed properly if you do not use TSLRCM. ***IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STEAM USERS:*** I DO NOT recommend using the Steam Workshop if you want to use this mod. Steam Workshop is frankly a mod compatibility nightmare, and I recommend reading this post on why Steam Workshop is NOT recommended for modding KotOR 2. 3. UNINSTALLATION: Go to the "backup" folder created by the installer of this mod, cut and paste the 306NAR.mod file into the Modules folder in your KotOR 2 directory. Go to the Override folder in your KotOR 2 directory, and delete the following files: llk_DahnisB.mdl llk_DahnisB.mdx llk_DahnisB01.tpc llk_DahnisH.mdl llk_DahnisH.mdx llk_DahnisH.tpc If there are 2DA files present in the backup folder, cut and paste appearance.2da and heads.2da into the Override folder of your KotOR 2 directory. If appearance.2da and heads.2da were not present in your backup folder when you installed this mod, delete the 2DA files from your Override folder. 4. KNOWN ISSUES: None currently known. If you find any bugs or problems, please let me know. 5. MOD COMPATIBILITY: This mod is not compatible with any other mods that modify or change Dahnis's head. This mod is compatible with The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM). Make sure you install this mod after TSLRCM. This mod is compatible with my Dahnis Flirt Option for Female PC. 6. PERMISSION: You may use the assets from this mod as part of your mod, however, SpaceAlex should be credited as the original creator of the texture, which were part of the K1 Enhancement Pack modder's resource. You may credit me for the TPC and upscaled version of the textures from this mod, but it is not necessary. I do not use nor support Steam Workshop, so I do not want any of my mods to be uploaded to Steam Workshop. 7. CREDITS: SpaceAlex for the K1 Enhancement Pack modder's resource Fred Tetra for the KotOR Tool Cortisol for Holocron Toolset bead-v for MDLedit ndix UR for tga2tpc and tpcview Stoffe for TSLPatcher; Fair Strides for the updated version THIS MODIFICATION IS NOT SUPPORTED BY BIOWARE/OBSIDIAN ENTERTAINMENT OR LUCASARTS OR ANY LICENSERS/SPONSORS OF THE MENTIONED COMPANIES.

This is a small skin pack I had laying about. It just improves Calo Nord, the bounty hunter. You'll get two variants, in this pack, each has its own folder. The "Gamelook", as the name implies, is Calo in his blue vest outfit and white hat. Second folder, QsLook, is a minor recolor of my own choice. It gives him a tanned darker vest. And black hat. Other details remain just the same. He now has a mustache! I know! It just made sense to me 😄 To install; unpack and then copy the contents to your override folder.
