FF97 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Why are textures using 'cm_baremetal' darker in kotor than their counterparts in tsl, even if they are using the same models and textures? For example: the lightsaber hilts in Kotor have a very dark, almost brass-like color, while they are just silver in tsl. Another example: The sith soldiers. They are almost black and very shiny in Kotor 1 but in tsl, they appear in a much lighter color. Quote

Pretty much the bug makes Lightsabers look like a Silver rod instead of an actual Lightsaber For the Sith Soldier's I believe that is another bug, essentially it's all caused by your graphic's card. If you got a better PC/Graphics card that would most likely make your Sith Soldier's look like their TSL counterpart. Quote
FF97 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Posted March 8, 2018 No, I'm not referring to any bug and I was referring to the lightsaber hilts, it doesn't look unnormal, just different. The difference is even visible in some official screenshots: Kotor 2: http://crimsonkeep.com/kotor2/albums/userpics/10011/Kreia%20Strikes%20Back.jpg https://biobreak.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/k4.jpg?w=636&h=407 Kotor 1: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/b/b6/BandonsLastStandOnManaan-KOTOR.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090925213325 https://lh5.ggpht.com/rla5SpRft7n6xOW2dmE49eUrncFytqh__VpHo08HV4N6SCXkyBoMQ4vTLsxLdC9zrD0=h900 Quote
DeadMan Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 I believe it's a result of changes Obsidian made to the game engine, it just renders textures and shaders a bit differently. Quote
FF97 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Posted March 8, 2018 Can we alter the shaders? Kotor 2 feels very pale and grey-ish for some reason. Quote
Effix Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 I know this exists:https://reshade.me/ http://deadlystream.com/forum/topic/3002-reshade-for-kotor-tsl/I haven't tried it myself. Quote
