[WIP] K1 - Kotor Expansion Pack

[CapitaineSpoque 93]

Hello there!

Pretty happy to announce that 2 of the 3 cut modules are now completely restored and are already released as a modder's ressource here on Deadlystream for anyone to use 🥳

The Kashyyk cut module didn't need much work at all! It was all about editing the .vis file, adding a fog effect in the .are and providing a minimap. This is all done! My plan with this module will surely be as i said earlier, making it the specific area where you encounter the ritual beast. I have nothing yet very clear in mind, but I wish to make the ritual beast encounter much more memorable, i've already planned to make this specific terentatek the size of a fully grown rancor to distinguish it from the others  

The Czerka Depot cut module needed much more work. There were a lot of models broken, with missing parts such as ceilings/geometry holes, various errors like walls flying few centimeters in the air and so much more. I also partially fixed the most hideous lightmaps. I am not yet skilled enough to correct everyone of them, there are still some rough lighting transition from one room to another. Some walkmeshes have been fixed aswell, and some textures too. Finally i've provided a custom minimap aswell!

Very proud of all of this work, especially the Czerka Depot module. Not perfect at all but its already so much better than what was there, and its entirely playable now

It leaves us with one last cut module: The tatooine cut rakatan temple. This is the module that requires a TON of work. The walkmeshes are atrocious, some lightmaps aswell and so are the room transitions, there are a lot of missing elements especially in the rakatan ruins... For this one, I cannot "just" repair what's in there, because there is too much stuff missing. I also think that i'll do some few cuts, because some portion of the level are too broken and beyong repair. There is still enough from this module to be used and repurposed into something both unique and playable. 

The biggest theory out there is that this module was supposed to have some kind of sarlacc maw encounter, which would make sense judging the last "pit" room. I still don't know how this area would play out, aside from maybe 1 unique crystal formation and few rakatan lore. If you have any idea, feel free to share!

Anyway, still a lot of work to do! You can check the cut modules i restored in the video I'm providing  Peace!
