TSL: Mods list (Suggestion)

[Salk 374]

Hello!

I have decided to (re)play TSL after several years and after never finishing it the first time because of a nasty critical bug so I am here to ask advice about the Installation order and Mods compatibility. All suggestions/recommendations are welcome.

 

I have done this so far:

 

1) Installed the DVD version of TSL

 

2) NOT installed any official patch (I presume 1.0a, 1.0b, the HQ movies and music patches are NOT needed)

 

3) Installed Pastramix's Ambient and Music improvements (by the way, the installation instructions are very confusing here as well: don't I need to delete the mus*.wav files that are in the original folder in order to use the .mp3? According to the instructions it seems you just need to dump the .mp3 files in the original folder)

 

4) Installed TSLRCM 1.8.4

 

Now... My Additional Mods list:

 

No TSL Patcher:

 

1) JC's Minor KotOR2 Fixes 

2) JC's Handmaiden Sisters?

3) Cyan Lightsaber Fix <-- Is this included/superseded by TSLRCM 1.8.4?

4) Fixed Proficiency / Feat Icons <-- Is this included/superseded by TSLRCM 1.8.4?

5) Disciple Medibug Fix 1.0 <-- No longer downloadable here at deadlystream?

6) Boma beast Teeth Fix

7) Jedi Master/Sith Lord Saving Throws "Fix"

8) Realistic Nar Shaddaa Skyboxes

9) Realistic Nar Shaddaa Skyboxes - Load Screens

10) K2 Exterior Textures Part 1&2 <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4?

11) Telos Citadel Station Skybox 

12) More Vibrant Skies <-- Partially incompatible with K2 Exterior Textures Part 1&2

13) TSL Ebon Hawk Retexture 1.0  <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4?

14) Movie Style Retextures v7 by Darth Jacen <-- like it better than v8 and v9

15) Movie Style Jedi Master Robes

16) Fixed PMHH01 head

17) Hi-Res Beam Effects 2.0

18) High Resolution Lightning <-- Incompatible with Hi-Res Beam Effects 2.0

19) New Mandalorian Banners

20) HQ Peragus Cutscene

21) Kreia's Fall

22) Kreia's lesson

23) Nihilus/Visas scene

24) Jesse1066's Hi Res Muzzle Flash <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4?

26) Movie Style Dark Side Transition <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4?

Anything that's purely  a reskin/retexture should be compatible with TSLRCM.

[high5 18]

Providing links will help people figure out compatibility http://deadlystream.com/forum/topic/2390-read-me-second-information-for-those-posting-errors-glitches/

[Kexikus 995]

The fixed icons are already in TSLRCM. In fact, installing the fix on top of TSLRCM will revert the fix.

Disciple Medibug Fix is also in TSLRCM according to Hassat Hunter.

 

And I can confirm that everything except for G0-T0 Reskin, Movie Style Hilts and Improved AI is compatible with TSLRCM. Those three I've never used so I don't know, but I'm 99% sure that the hilt mod is compatible.

 

Edit: That is, everything you asked about. I don't know about some of the other mods you have on your list.

PastramiX actually came on here a few years ago and said not to use his mods anymore. Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time finding the post.

[Sith Holocron 2,478]

Miles, try looking under the name "Hegirae"

[milestails 264]

Thanks SH. Impressive detective work!

 

Here is the post from PastramiX concerning his music and ambience mods:

4) Cyan Lightsaber Fix Is this included/superseded by TSLRCM 1.8.4?

 

Not needed

 

14) Fixed Proficiency / Feat Icons Is this included/superseded by TSLRCM 1.8.4?

 

As stated, not needed.

 

15) Disciple Medibug Fix 1.0 No longer downloadable here at deadlystream?

 

No idea what the deal was with that mod, but the issue in question has been long fixed within TSLRCM itself.

 

16) Kreia's Fall

 

What does this do?

 

17) Kreia's lesson

 

Same, what does this do?

 

18) Nihilus/Visas scene

 

Third what does this do? There's already a Visas/Nihilus scene in TSLRCM, so I assume... no. But really, what does it do?

 

20) Roleplay in 103PER & 304NAR Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4?

 

Also; what does this do?

 

30) Improved AI Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4?

 

As long as you use just the .2da not the other files, as also mentioned in the compability sticky.

[Salk 374]

Thanks for your help and suggestions, guys (especially Kexikus)!

 

A good number of those modifications I can no longer provide links for since they were hosted at Filefront but I will try and answer HH's questions about some of them.

 

Kreia's Fall: it is a HQ version of Kreia's Fall cutscene made by danil-ch

 

Kreia's Lesson: This is a modification to Kreia's global dialog. It restores a few lines to Kreia's dialog about small kindnesses and cruelities. Again, made by danil-ch (and Darth Hayze)

 

Nihilus/Visas scene: This is a modification to Nihilus/Visas scene. This file replaces some of the Visas's lines (5 of them) with the ones that been used in pre-rendered cutscene. As usual, danil-ch is the author.

 

Roleplay in 103PER & 304NAR: Made by Achilles. It changes the speed of the so called Space Walk so that it feels you are really out in space.

[DarthParametric 3,782]

I wouldn't be using anything that alters dialogue (especially for party members) or modules, you are likely to break TSLRCM.

[Salk 374]

I decided to also add the following:

 

Extended Ending

 

and

 

PMHH01 Fixed

 

Is there any other kind of modification that you would recommend warmly?

[Sith Holocron 2,478]

You might want to check here for suggestions.

[Salk 374]

30) Improved AI <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4?

 

As long as you use just the .2da not the other files, as also mentioned in the compability sticky.

 

I did read the compatibility sticky but it does not mention anything about using just the .2da file. Perhaps you thought I was talking of the Game Balance Mod by Achilles?

 

If not, can you be a little more specific?

 

Thanks!

[Kexikus 995]

Kreias Fall and Nihilus/Visas are compatible then since they only replace movie or sound files.

[Hassat Hunter 571]

Achilles fix works fine if it uses TSLPatcher, if it just replaces the appearance.2da, then not.

Danil-ch's mods will work fine, they should be hosted here.

 

And yeah, was thinking about the rebalance mod, oops. The AI mod works, but it might lead to your partymembers starting combat on Nar Shaddaa early on, breaking a conversation so you have to deal with Atton and Bao-Dur without 3rd party member, which can be hard.

[Salk 374]

Thanks for all your help.

 

I have started playing the game yesterday. Unfortunately I already suffered a game crash in Peragus (of course, no idea what might have caused it) but other than that everything seems fine so far.
