Restored Content for K1CP [WIP]

[N-DReW25]

Some bad news and some good news.

The bad news: the restored Carth's dialogue when you're initially tossing and turning in your bed has been removed as a temporary solution to a game breaking bug.

The good news: the update that removed the above restored content replaced it with Shuma the Hutt.

 

Here is how he appears in the pre-release screenshots:

 

Here is how he appears in RC-K1CP:

 

The old restoration mods and K1R all restore Shuma out in the Hangar Bay even though the above pre-release screenshot exists and the fact that Shuma greets you to his "humble abode" - a term that would make much more sense if he were inside an actual room and not out in the open in the Hangar Bay. To both differentiate RC-K1CP from K1R and to remain faithful to Bioware's original intention with the character, I have restored Shuma inside Elise's room, the one where she appears after you complete the missing droid sidequest. Elise, her boyfriend/her droid will now spawn in the hallway just outside the room to make way for Shuma.

 

In the game files there are four Hutt textures whilst in the vanilla game there only three Hutts. With Shuma added, that brings the total up to four Hutts and as you can probably tell Shuma is using Ajuur's old appearance. To prevent two identical Hutts in your game I decided to restore the unused Hutt texture for Ajuur on Taris.

 

Ajuur will now look like this:

I’ve downloaded this mod recently and just got to Dantooine, but Shuma isn’t in the room. Was this released yet or is there something you need to do to trigger him spawning? I’ve just found the first star map.

So Shuma the Hutt is not present?

 

Did Ajuur have his new appearance as shown above?

 

Are the restored footlockers and unlocked the static footlockers there? The restored footlockers are in the training room with the workbench and the Aratech shop whilst the "static footlockers" are the footlockers that can't be opened in the vanilla game (RC-K1CP restores the ability to open them).

 

Did Tar'eelok and Garrum spawn?

 

And where did the crazy lady and her boyfriend/CS-42 spawn after doing her side quest? She's supposed to spawn out in the hall as her room is now occupied by Shuma.

 

If all of those things above did appear but not Shuma, it might be possible that a bug is preventing him spawning in.

 

I would like to say this, having one thing not appear and being able to move on despite it is better than the game being soft locked and/or crashed.

Nope, Shuma isn’t there. 
 

Yes, Ajuur had the new look.

There’s no static or extra footlockers in or around the training area or workshop. 
 

No, Garrum and Tar didn’t spawn. 
 

I haven’t done the droid companion quest yet so I’ll let you know.

 

i do have the Sleheyron expansion too and that modifies the module slightly to spawn a certain character in, only thing i can think of that might be affecting it.

Is the file m13aa.git in your Override folder?

Nope, haven’t got that file.

 

droid companion quest done, elisa and droid show up INSIDE the room instead of corridor.

 

edit: I checked installlog, m13aa.git WAS patched in module/danm16.mod archive during installation of the K1CP. Then it was patched again during Sleheyron installation.

Was this installed via the latest Sleheyron update that was released on Monday?

No, I installed it on Sunday.

Can you send me the changes.ini file from inside the TSLPatcher folder of the Sleheyron version you installed?

Yup, should be in your inbox

I have discovered the problem, this has been caused by the Sleheyron Story Mode mod.

 

I will be commenting the bug report on the Sleheyron mod page shortly.

Thanks! Much appreciated:)

Also, are the iriaz close to completion? It’s one of the restorations I’ve been hoping for ever since I first played ‘murdered settler’ quest 😆

Hello there!

I just tried installing this mod, but I got an error and the installation failed to complete:

Error: No instruction section found for file m02ab.git, skipping...

It looks like the mod *almost* completes installation (the green bar is riiiight at the end), but I don't know if it's ignorable or not.

I'm using the Steam version of KOTOR, a fresh install of the game, installed on my C:\ drive (same drive as Steam). I installed the Community Patch v1.10 first, and then installed this mod, with no other mods installed. I even tried re-downloading this mod's archive and trying again, but I still get the error.

I've tried it twice (uninstalled KOTOR completely, cleaned out the entire directory, reinstalled, then installed K1CP v1.10, then this mod) and I keep getting the error.

I also get this warning each time:

Warning: Unable to copy file "tar03_woman031.utcanc", file does not exist!

I'm using the latest version of the archive from this site (linked below) which I notice was last updated on November 7th.

If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know, otherwise, might want to take a look at the latest release.

Thanks!

I am aware of the first instance and I shall get around to fixing them soon.

 

I am confident that this won't cause any real problems, you have installed 99% of the mod and these installation bugs will, unfortunately, ensure that two of the most minor, most mundane restorations aren't present in your game. This is still better than the game crashing though.

The Sith Guard in the Upper City guarding the Lower City elevator was supposed to have a Mark IV Assault Droid with him, it only had one dialogue which goes "This droid is not programmed to speak with you" or something to that effect.

 

This installation error means the droid will not spawn.

In the Lower City Cantina, there are two generic male NPCs who I believe are duplicated to create four NPCs. RC-K1CP changes one of these men into a woman to restore the unused female dialogue for the generic Cantina NPC. Since this bug has taken place, this background NPC won't be changed into a woman.

 

All I have to do to fix this problem is rename "utcanc" to "utc" and it should install just fine.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I found a strange(and hilarious!) bug in the Taris Lower City Cantina. The fourth Black Vulkar that threatens Calo Nord, the orange Twi'lek that speaks Basic, has somehow turned into a giant gizka!

I was going to post an update for the development of RC-K1CP soon, but since JasonRyder commented I'll update you all now.

 

The Unused Head Restoration Pack mod, which hasn't been updated in several years, shall be renamed to the K1 Appearance Restoration Pack to match its Kotor 2 counterpart.

 

The reason this is happening is because most of the appearance restorations from RC-K1CP, mainly the optional ones, are being removed from RC-K1CP and are instead being added to the K1 Appearance Restoration Pack.

 

The reason I am doing this is because they're mostly incompatible with the NPC Diversity Pack mod. The appearances of RC-K1CP are added solely to restore the unused appearances whereas the NPC-DP is a genuine NPC Overhaul. By installing both mods, it is possible that the end result is not one that I personally intended for the player.

 

Whilst these incompatibilities do not break the game in any way, I am certain players would prefer Restored Content and an NPC Overhaul without these two concepts "meshing" with one another.

 

There are also actual incompatibilities that do impact the game, the Sith Officer Uniform Restoration install is incompatible with heyorange's Sith Army Reformation mod and the Jedi Appearance Restoration install is incompatible with Diversified Jedi on the Star Forge if you install that mod before RC-K1CP.

 

Once this update goes ahead, the RC-K1CP will have most of its restored appearances removed. If players want a "pure" restored content game with no NPC Overhauls they can install the K1 Appearance Restoration Pack whereas if they want an NPC Overhaul they can instead download the NPC Diversity Pack.

 

The unique heads for Tanis and the Czerka Rep on Tatooine from the Unused Head Restoration Pack are going to be added in the Galaxy of Faces mod so NPC Overhaul enjoyers will not need the K1 Appearance Restoration Mod if they want those two heads in particular.

 

This update has been delayed to the development of the M4-78 Unofficial Patch mod this year, and whilst I do intend to make something special for ROR this update shall come eventually.

 

And also, Carth's Restored Blaster icon is being removed in that update until it can genuinely be fixed.

Whilst I can see why you'd report it as an RC-K1CP bug, this is actually a Sleheyron Story Mode bug in its entirety. K1CP restores the orange Twi'lek variant and RC-K1CP simply borrows that appearance for the fourth Vulkar. This means either one of two things have happened, you either:

 

A) broke your install.

B,) the Sleheyron Story Mode mod's installer is broken and therefore it has broken your game.

 

The orange Twi'lek added in K1CP occupies line 509 of the appearance.2da. If @SAO had setup his tslpatcher/holopatcher correctly then a new appearance number would've been assigned to your appearance.2da, the only way his big Gizka would replace the orange Twi'lek added in K1CP would be if Sleheyron's installer hard overwrote the existing appearance.2da with a pre-made one (which is very bad from a modding standpoint).

 

Can you please attach your appearance.2da file here, since the orange Twi'lek should occupy line 509 of the appearance.2da being able to view your appearance.2da should confirm at least part of my suspicion.

 

SAO, if we get to the bottom of this and it turns out that, by some miracle, it isn't Sleheyron Story Mode as I suspect I do apologizing for pinging you here.
