Handmaiden becomes a dark Jedi instead of a light Jedi

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

i installed KOTOR 2 a few days ago (Steam version) and came to this site because of the TSLRCM mod.

My problem is now i wanted to turn the handmaiden into a light sided Jedi.

 

I trained with her 3 times and got her to put on her mother's Jedi robe and also talked to Kreia about her mother.

But I can only get her to become a dark Jedi and that's not what i want. I'd like to know what i have to do to get her into a light sided Jedi.

 

I'm 100% light and I have enough influence with her.

M'afraid we might need a bit more detail on the issue. Do you have any other mods?

Also, we need to know what Handmaiden's alignment is.

 

You could have used a cheat to jump from Dark to Light, and her alignment not change with it...

Handmaidens alignment is 100 light, didnt use a cheat to change any alignment As i just wanted to play for fun, i did use KSE 333 to boost attributes and some feats but I didn't make any changes to either alignment or Influence.

 

The other mods that I use are:

 

Coruscant Scene No Overlay by Hassat Hunter

Player & Party Underwear 1 by RedRob41

Concept Loading Screens 1.1 by InSidious

TSLRCM Loot fix base scripts 1.3 by Hassat Hunter

New Onderon Merchant by 90SK

 

All of which were downloaded on this site

I am unsure if this is related but I feel duty bound to point the following out to you.
 
If you're not creating a mod for the game, then "TSLRCM Loot fix base scripts 1.3 by Hassat Hunter" shouldn't be used. It even says in the read-me file:
 

Modders resource, if you're not interested in modding KOTOR2, this download is not for you

 

Best of luck to you and - hopefully - someone can find a resolution to your problem.

Did you boost Charisma in KSE? If you did and boosted it too much, this combined with her being at 100 Influence will make her appearance flip to the opposite of yours. This is a bug in the game engine, and while it cannot be totally fixed there are ways to make the bug less noticeable.

 

In case you haven't already guessed, I boost attributes as well as I'm in the "play it for fun" stage.

 

Anyway, to fix, you need the following mods:

 

The Influence bug fix from House of Amon's Mod Pack.

Dark Side Transitions.

 

Those items are the basics necessary to make the bug less noticeable. Additional things I did for my own game were to extract Handmaiden's white garb from the game files and rename it to P_HandmaidenAD01.tga as well as modify underwear for the Dark Side. Copying and renaming Handmaiden's white garb fixes another influence issue during the cutscene where Handmaiden steals the Ebon Hawk. With the Influence bug in effect, she would be wearing black if you were light, and white if you were dark. Now she wears white all the time, which actually parallels Atris' "white does not necessarily mean good" motif.

 

Modifying the underwear is a bit more complex. Kotor II by default uses one texture for all dark side underwear. For underwear, I took copies of the light side textures and renamed them as follows:

 

P_VisasBA01.tga > P_VisasBC01.tga (NOTE: The only texture not needing editing in appearance.2da)

PFBAMA01.tga, PFBAMB01.tga, PFBAMC01.tga > PFBAMDA1.tga, PFBAMDB1.tga, PFBAMDC1.tga

PMBAMA01.tga, PMBAMB01.tga, PMBAMC01.tga > PMBAMDA1.tga, PMBAMDB1.tga, PMBAMDC1.tga

 

Using KotOR Tool I edited appearance.2da so the Dark Side textures for all the player models and the NPCs were one of the new textures. I haven't yet done a TSL Patcher implementation, which would be so much easier. However, my time is limited right now....

Thanks for your help, gonna keep that charisma-problem in mind.

I did "solve" the problem in a way as is played a bit further then turned her in a Jedi. Although the game claims she is a dark Jedi and Atris claiming the handmaiden is following the ways of the Sith, she still has blue eyes and her white robe. Alignment says still shes 100% light and she still likes me doing good things and that's all that matters to my character so I can live with that.

 

@Sith Holocron: Ah thanks! I didn't read that part. I guess I shouldn't have done the modding late at night.
