Hello, i really like your mods so far and I am thinking in making a playthrough with the Sith Uniforms one.

However, I find the white trousers for the Onderon officers to be a bit visually disruptive with the rest of their uniform. This is just a suggestion, of course, but I think they would look nicer with a darker tone (closer to gray) or the same black of the scarf, to maintain the color pairing. The rest of the uniforms are excellent.

Hi! Thanks!  I'm glad that someone wants to)

Interesting suggestion regarding the trousers colour. Guess I'll need to make both and make the screenshots to compare.

Unfortunately, I won't have time to continue the mod in the near future. But when the time comes I'll try what you suggest! Thanks again!

This looks siiiiick. Already excited with what I'm seeing! Always hated how samey that Kotor games looked. Like I get reusing models saves resources, but c'mon.

Haven't been posting and doing anything for Kotor games for a very long time! Recently I was reading Path of Destruction by Drew Karpyshyn and realized how much I miss playing first kotor xD

So I decided to return to my idea of making a robe mod for the first game. The idea is too make all the Jedi and Sith robes more unique (at least visually). 

This time I decided to use JC's Cloaked Jedi Robe modification as a basis for robes. And right Now I came up with basic concept of what I want to do.

I don't think I will have a lot of time to make new textures myself for the mod, so (at least at the moment) I will use textures from Darth Darkus' Armored Robes, Effixian's Prototype Knight & Warrior Breastplates and jonathan7's Force Fashion. (Though in case of release I will need to get their permission otherwise I'll have too make my own textures for the replacement xD). The only thing I add to those textures is the collar fix.

At the moment I do have a basic concept what I want to do. I came up with all the names for Sith and  Jedi robes with the idea in mind to blend the Sith titles in the K1, K2 and SWTOR. Also, I think that the Darkside list was Lacking the Tier 5 so the Jorak/Uthar will be somewhat on par with Qel-Droma's Robe (it will have Dark Side restriction instead of Light Side one that Qel-Droma's Robe has and it will give Strength +2 instead of Wisdom +2). Also, I think it is a good Idea to make 2 robes. Jorak will have a dusty and torn apart version (which won't give such bonuses to the player, let's say Max Dex +8; Defense Bonus 0; Strength +1), and Uthar will have a better version with full bonuses (Max Dex +8; Defense Bonus 5; Strength +2). The reason is I don't want to give the player the full-bonus robe before finishing Korriban xD

Another idea is that Lashowe, Mekel and Shaardan in the original game are all Jedi Guardians. Maybe it will be a good idea to change them like this:

Lashowe  = Jedi Consular (aka Dark Jedi Consular = Sith Inquisitor Robe)

Mekel = Jedi Sentinel (aka Dark Jedi Sentinel = Sith Warrior Robe)

Shaardan Jedi Guardian (aka Dark Jedi Guardian = Sith Crusader Robe)

 

At the Sith Academy Sith Teachers will have unique Sith Overseer Robes, while Yuthura (being second in command) will have SIth Grand Overseer Robe. Most of the students will have either Acolyte Tunic (showing that they were initiated recently) or Sith Adept Robe (meaning that they are already experienced students)

 

Also, in case of dark side playthrough the player meets 3 Dark Jedi Masters on Starforge, in this case:

Black/White Dark Jedi Master - will have Sith Lord Robe (next Tier of Sith Inquisitor Robe)

Black/Red Dark Jedi Master - will have Sith Assassin Robe (next Tier of Sith Crusader Robe)

Black/Blue Dark Jedi Master - will have Sith Marauder Robe (next Tier of Sith Warrior Robe)

 

In case of the Jedi, the first Jedi that we meet on Endar Spire will have a very basic Padawan Tunic (the same one we will get from Zhar on Dantooine). Master Dorak will have his unique Jedi Archivist robe. That being said, Deesra and Belaya will get 3rd Tier robes (according to Wookiepedia they are both Knights). Also, Starforge Jedi Strike team will also get  3rd Tier robes (it would be strange to send Padawans in the strike team)

I saved the icons and parts for what I did for your Sith Reformation mod. (For example, the Academy badges.) Might those be helpful to you?

Hey! I really appreciate this! I saw what you did, this is really a fantastic job! I am not sure if I use any of these symbols in the modification (the idea is that the Robe mode and Sith Uniform mod to be compatible with each other). I think I will not change the look of archeologists, though I definitely will change the Sith Students. I will check if I can add the Regiment Insignia on the Robes, maybe small one on the belt or collar. Or maybe even under the belt!

I'll scour through my stuff after I wake up later in the day.

Thanks:)

For now, I went through upscaling all the textures from 512 to 1024 and started adding collar fix to them (made about half of the textures). After that I will need to go through then 1 by 1 and maybe adjust them (add some shadows on different elements, maybe change/recolour some parts of the robes). I feel like maybe I will have to change or throw away some of them. For now it is difficult to say.

Here are some examples of upscaled textures with applied collar fix
