Senni Vek Mod


A Mod for Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic
Author: N-DReW25
1.2.0 Release Date: 13.06.2024


Installation:
Please install the K1 Community Patch (K1CP) first and, if you intend to use it, install the Restored Content for the K1 Community Patch (RC-K1CP) after K1CP and before this mod.

Simply click on the HoloPatcher.exe, select your option (read about this below!), click install and sit back and watch the installer do its magic.


Description:
After you kill Calo Nord, a messenger named Senni Vek will deliver you a datapad telling you to meet Hulas on Manaan. In the vanilla game, that's the last you ever heard from Senni. But whilst searching through the game files, I discovered during the final fight with Hulas our good old friend Senni was supposed to fight along Hulas against you, however, his NPC was replaced with the appearance and nametag of a generic yellow Rodian who, oddly enoug, still used the Twi'lek soundset.

As of version 1.2 of this mod, this mods has two different versions to choose from. These versions are...

Senni Vek Restoration: This mod restores Senni Vek to the fight by replacing the generic yellow Rodian, exactly how Bioware originally intended.

Senni Vek's Ambush: This mod replaces Hulas with Senni Vek. Senni Vek will now take Hulas' place as the big bad boss fight with Hulas' original Rodian audio being replaced with Twi'lek audio and his dialogue rewritten so that it's from the perspective of Senni Vek and not Hulas. This alternative version is for those who believe it was stupid for Hulas to decide to fight the player right after gaining control of the GenoHaradan Guild. In this version, it is heavily implied that Hulas sent Senni Vek and the other hunters to kill the player, and when the player defeats them Hulas will then disappear for the duration of the game as he consolidates his power in the shadows.


Known Bugs:
This mod shouldn't have bugs but if there is Just PM me on Deadlystream.


Incompatibilities:
Please report any incompatibilities!


Senni Vek Restoration is already part of RC-K1CP, so there's no point installing that option. Senni Vek's Ambush is designed with RC-K1CP in mind, if you already have RC-K1CP or Senni Vek Restoration installed the Senni Vek's Ambush mod will convert the tat_senni.utc file from Senni Vek into the generic yellow Rodian whilst also changing Hulas into Senni Vek, it should be impossible to have two Senni Vek's if you install the mod correctly!

Wookieepedia disagrees.

I'd take that to be error as in game Vek is clearly "Vek" and not "Senni Vek", However, if requested if you guys would like me to add an optional component to this mod that converts Vek into Senni I might do that when I get back to a PC.

It is probably shorted for the player not to recognize him immediately. Vek is just his surname.

I will say Obsidian had the same idea as me (Vek and Senni aren't the same people) because Senni was supposed to have an appearance in Kotor 2 but was cut presumably with the GenoHaradan and was replaced by the Duros Pazaak Player.

I noticed also this inconsistency and I tend to agree with N-DReW25 here.

It does not make sense, reading the dialogue lines, that Vek and Senni Vek are the same person. There is no mention in the dialogue with Vek on Manaan of having met before even if the player did meet Senni Vek earlier. There is nothing to suggest Vek on Manaan is affiliated to the GenoHaradan, at least from what I can see.

Even if it is not much to go by, they do wear different kind of clothes as well.

So the way I see it is this: the restoration of Senni Vek on the Dune of Tatooine is sensible. Minor adjustments could be done in order to make it less confusing though by small changes in the name of one or the other and/or the use a different skin.

Cheers!
