K1 Ultrawide Letterbox Fix

---

The function that enables letterbox mode for cutscenes has a fork whether the segment was the first in the scene or came later. The very first letterbox after an area loads (first branch) skipped a specific call that sets up the bottom bar's draw state, while every later letterbox made that call. That's why only the first one of each area was ever broken. This patch adds back in the skipped call while making sure not to interfere with dialogue or being able to skip it.

This Patcher doesn't need to be installed in your game folder, although it doesn't hurt anything if you want it there. You can use it easily by unzipping the archive and double-clicking Apply Fix.bat. Alternatively, if you'd rather not trust an executable, you can run the patch yourself using Python by following the instructions in the README. You can also easily uninstall the patch by using Revert Fix.bat if there are any issues.

Required setup (install these first):

1. KOTOR Editable Executable: provides a patchable exe (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1320-kotor-editable-executable/)
2. UniWS: to run the game at your widescreen resolution (https://www.wsgf.org/article/star-wars-knights-old-republic)
3. KotOR High Resolution Menus (the "hires"/k1hrm patcher): for correct widescreen
   menus and, crucially, the _widescreen dialog-letterbox proportion_ this fix builds on. (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1159-kotor-high-resolution-menus/)
4. Then this fix, last.
