Half of this request has been fulfilled.

The health reduction for the first level HK-50s has been added to my Fix Collection mod.

Could you possibly release that change as a standalone? With no insult intended, there are a lot of changes in the bugfix collection which I view as being subjective and wouldn't want to have in the mod builds, so while I'd love to have the health fixes for Talia/the HK-50s and a few other miscellaneous parts of the fix collection, I wouldn't want users to be required to use the rest of it due to it being an all-in-one Holopatcher application for the mod.

Could a watered down alternative "Snigaroo Cut" install work?

 

There would be the main install, which is the mod as it stands now, and the Snigaroo Cut which would contain only the bug fixes you want for the Mod Build whilst excluding the bug fixes you don't want.

 

Also, I gave Esok and his goons Mandalorian Assault Rifles several updates ago. I take it that'll be one of the excluded fixes as "For Mandalore" already does what you want?

The mod builds currently use a mod to make Mandalorian armor worn-out, and it would be nice if that was used for the mercenary Mandalorians only while the Dxun Mandalorians used the default Mandalorian armor textures.

What are the redistribution rules for Worn out Mando Armor? I'd imagine using it as a base and then modifying it to also have different colors of mando armor for different pieces or maybe even non mandalorian armor pieces (like chest pieces or leg pieces) would look quite good, but using it as a base wouldn't be possible if the redistribution rules say no to modifying it for your own mod releases.

Sure, that works fine for me. Yes, since the builds are going to use For Mandalore! in cut-down form, I would want that out of the changelist. Looking at the mod now, what I'd like to keep is:

1. Droid warfare/battle upgrade prereq change (though for the Snigaroo Cut I would probably want the method of this to be tweaked so that those items aren't usable on T3-M4 or G0-T0, rather than removing the prereqs)

2. Changes 1, 2 and 3 to the Harbinger

3. The alignment and race changes (to display masks) for the thugs who attack with the hold-out blaster, but nothing else

4. Corran Falt soundset fix

5. Giving the TSF Lieutenant a pistol

6. Giving Corran Falt the blaster pistol when tailing him

7. Ithorian dialogue about bachani plant being silent

8. Luxa soundset fix in the Exchange module

9. Replacing the Telos surface warbot weapons with repeating blasters

10. The HK-50 health fix

11. Fixed Mandalorian bark lines on Nar Shaddaa

12. Reskinned Bith arm placeable

13. Removing the drops and XP from the Twin Suns fight

14. Kath Hound vitality reduction (though I'd be curious to know how you determined how much to remove)

15. Fixing Dillan's militia armor appearance

16. Suulru blaster rifle fix

17. Mercenary head change to hide DS transitions

18. All the Dxun tomb changes

19. Soldier VO fix for the terminals on Onderon

20. S-0D3 fix

21. Fixing the Vaklu soldier barks

22. Onderon Palace loot fix

23. Talia health fix

24. Kreia appearing inside the Academy on Korriban after beating Sion

25. Giving Malak his own soundset

26. Both Ravager changes

 

Changes that I would not mind having in an entirely separate mod or second separate install option, not directly in the Snigaroo Cut of the bugfix collection (I figure users may want to utilize these, but they are more subjective changes and I would like this to be a separate option so users can choose to have it or not):

1. Mercenary soundset changes

2. Mercenary armor adjustments

3. Changing the head of Coorta's thug to not use the dock officer head

4. Changing the Republic Trooper in Sion's escape cutscene to the medical officer

5. Swapping the appearance of bay control and the TSF lieutenant for Samhan's quest

6. Restoring the "sir, we have some visitors" line for the Chodo Habat scene

7. Giving the mercenaries on the surface player heads so their mask items are visible

8. Swapping the sentry droid appearance on the surface

9. Swapping Davrel's Republic blaster for a Mandalorian Blaster

10. The clothing changes to Kiph's girlfriend and Jonna Far

Reupload permissions and the authorization to edit the texture and reupload it, but not to use the texture in anything more complex than a straight texture mod. The verbiage of the readme is a bit imprecise, unfortunately, but my understanding of it would be that my request here would not be in line with the permissions. A new worn-out skin would probably need to be made.

I've never found a suitable retexture for the Ebon Hawk's exterior in KOTOR 2: they're usually all super high-fidelity but also ludicrously clean, not reflecting the absolute battering the ship took before the events of the game. I'd love to see a reasonably grimy, damaged and carbon-scored interpretation of the texture, one that shows how much the little ship that could has been through.

I think that J has made a good Ebon Hawk retexture here:

I'll be testing it when I start work on the next Revision.

Not sure that there's an undamaged one to use yet though.
