Refurbished Astromech Droids

Happy Holidays!

 

Here's a small mod that sprung from someone else's hard work!

 

Refurbished Astromech Droids
================================

 

MOD AUTHOR: Sith Holocron
ORIGINAL RELEASE: 25 DEC 2016
UPDATED RELEASE: 31 JUL 2017

 

GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1

 

Description:
-------------------
I asked Darth_Sapiens some time ago if he planned to redo the astromech droids for the KOTOR games - as he did such a wonderful job in his T3M4 HD 2k (http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/514-darth-sapiens-presents-t3m4-hd-2k/) mod. He didn't wind up doing it so I wound up recoloring his texture to retexture the other astromech droids myself.

 

As 3C-FD - the droid that assists T3-M4 in the prologue - uses one of these textures, I've also included an avatar picture for 3C-FD in this package as well.

 

Installation:
--------------------

For Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 - Extract all files into the Star Wars Knights of the Old RepublicII/Override folder. It is highly recommended to also install Darth Sapiens' T3M4 HD 2k as this mod doesn't touch T3-M4. This is not required however. If you already have Darth_Sapiens' T3M4 HD 2k mod, please note the "CM_Tseriesdroid.txi" file and the "CM_Tseriesdroid.tga" file are included in both his and this derivative mod. (As the files are identical, you can allow the newer files to override the old ones.)

By the way, you can use this in Knights of the Old Republic 1 as well.  The texture's appearance and the files names are identical in both games so you shouldn't have any issue.

 

Uninstall:
---------------

Take it out again.

If you are using still using Darth_Sapiens' T3M4 HD 2k mod and wish to continue to do so, please leave the "CM_Tseriesdroid.txi" file and the "CM_Tseriesdroid.tga" file in the Override folder.

 

Known Bugs:
---------------------

None known at this time.

 

Credits:
-------------
This mod would not have been possible with Darth_Sapiens' mod.

Thanks to Fair Strides for adding an alpha channel to these - and while I was on vacation no less!

If you like it, credit goes to those fine fellows. If you hate it, I'll shoulder that blame.

 

Additional Thanks:
-------------------------------

 

Thanks to Revanator and Malkior for taking a look at this. Much appreciated.

Does this work for Kotor 1 also?

[Sith Holocron 2,478]

It should, in theory. Would you mind testing that for me?

[Revanator 60]

Excellent mod. Fits seamlessly with Sapien's T3 mod and makes all the astromechs match T3's quality level. Just one more piece of the game that looks that much better.

[N-DReW25 1,336]

It should, in theory. Would you mind testing that for me?

Done, it worked flawlessly.

[Sith Holocron 2,478]

Thanks N-DReW. When and if that I update the mod, I'll make sure to add that information to the read me file - and credit you as a tester.

Thanks, no problem.

Done, it worked flawlessly.

 

Is this also the case for the original T3-Mod? 

 

And what of the file for 3C-FD? 

[djh269 264]

Darth Sapiens T3M4 mod needs a little workaround to get it working, here is the textures below, the difference is that Kotor is T3M3, rather than Tsl's T3M4. Other than the below changes everything else should work fine.

 

Kotor: 

P_T3M3_01.tga - T3's main texture

PO_PT3M3.tga - T3's portrait 

 

TSL: 

P_T3M4_01.tga - T3's main texture

PO_PT3M4.tga - T3's portrait

 

3C FD uses the C_DrdAstro01.tga file, which is also used in K1 and works the same way, I'm pretty sure it's the first droid in the Taris shop that you can buy before T3M4.

Do I have to rename any other file other than T3 then?

[djh269 264]

Just rename the files listed above, the body and the portrait texture and it'll all work fine. 

[Guest]

Just rename the files listed above, the body and the portrait texture and it'll all work fine. 

 

But, concerning KOTOR 1 there is no:

 

P_T3M3_01.tga

 

To Rename; But there is:

 

P_t3m4_01.dds

 

&

 

P_t3m4_01.txi

Thank you all for your interest. I will point out if you want to talk about Darth_Sapiens' original mod, you should probably be discussing it in his thread.  (He won't see anything in this thread but he might be following his.)
