Edge of Darkness: A Textural Reinterpretation

Created by: Sith Holocron (and others listed in the credits section)

Game: Knights of the Old Republic 2 (using Edge of Darkness mod)

Description:

The Edge of Darkness Revenge Textural Reinterpretation mod was designed to upscale and/or enhance the many (oh so many) textures seen in the mod.  It is an extensive mod pack (as might be indicated by the size) but as seen listed below, it is not a complete overhaul. Edge of Darkness uses textures from both KotOR1 and TSL.  As there are already two fine upscale packages on Deadly Stream – and they both have liberal use policies – I was able to grab a bunch of upscales that already existed after renaming them to the Edge of Darkness conventions. (See credits section for the other mods that were sourced.)

Some of the EoD textures required new upscales as many of them are simply recolored vanilla textures and I didn’t want to manually recolor all of the original textures. Some of the textures in Edge of Darkness are new or sourced from places outside the vanilla game. I’ve adjusted textures to my liking when I thought it would benefit the texture but I’ve attempted to remain faithful to the – shall we say unique? - visual style of his mod.

New upscales were set to upscale at 4 times the original size. The exceptions to this scaling are textures that would be larger than 2048 x 2048 if upscaled at 4x.

 

What’s not included and why:

I have not upscaled the following categories of textures included with Edge of Darkness.

Skyboxes (Many of these are custom made and/or already near the self-imposed 2048 x 2048 limit. They would not benefit from upscaling.)

Inventory Items and their Icons - including clothing and weapons (Outside of the scope of my original plans)

Action Icons (as I don’t think they’d benefit from upscaling)

Absolutely ***anything*** by Kaidon Jorn (as I don’t think they’d benefit from upscaling)

Most of the textures from Quanon (as they are close to my self-imposed size limit as they currently stand)

 

Credits:

Some ship textures and one animated computer panel in this collection were sourced from Dark Hope’s releases. Thanks to DH and her generosity in making permissions open for her mod.

Many of the TSL textures were sourced from “RESOURCE:Topaz GigaPixel AI Upscales – K2” by Thor110. I give my thanks for this convenient modding resource.

Many of the KOTOR1 textures that Edge of Darkness uses, I sourced upscales from what was originally called “KOTOR 1 Four Times ver 1.0” on Deadly Stream.  It doesn’t appear to be on Deadly Stream now but I have found a version of that mod. It was uploaded to NexusMods as “KOTOR HD Galaxy Mod” - uploaded by SimplyCool988.  Thanks to whoever the original unnamed author was for their open permissions, as listed in the read-me file.

Minor assistance in re-adding transparencies to 5 LKA textures provided by 90sk.

I hereby state that I specifically do NOT wish this mod to be uploaded to Steam Workshop.  I may release this on NexusMods at a later date but I don't wish others to do so.  Usage of my textures in other mods must be requested and approved by me before your use.
