TK-664 69 Posted April 14, 2018 View File Weapon Base Stats Re-balance (K1) In KotOR 1 there is an obvious balancing issue concerning weapons that is especially noticeable in the early game, ie: Taris. What is it? Ranged Weapons are utterly outclassed by melee weapons. Yes, i know a stun stick isn't more powerful than a heavy repeater but I'm addressing the general problem here - In almost all situations you'll be better off charging at an enemy using your vibroblade instead of firing a blaster rifle, even when it seems like using a blaster would be the best option. The developers at Obsidian noticed this and in KotOR 2 blasters are now a viable option as well. So this mod changes the base stats of ranged weapons (damage, criticals etc.) to be like the ones on K2. But that's not all - I've also modified the lightsabers as well. Basically, ranged weapons and lightsabers will be statistically equal to their K2 counterparts; except for some weaponry damage values that i've kept unaltered purposely - It doesn't make sense that, for example, a disruptor and an ion pistol would do the same damage against an organic target. So following that: Blaster Pistols now do 1-8 damage instead of 1-6; Disruptors' critical threat range is now 18-20x2 instead of 20-20x2; Ion blasters' critical multiplier is now x3 instead of x2; Regular lightsabers now deal 2-20 damage instead of 2-16 etc... ____________________________________________ Submitter TK-664 Submitted 04/11/2018 Category Mods K1R Compatible Yes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew 8 Posted April 26, 2018 Hey! Having trouble opening this. Both 7zip and Winrar return the message: "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged." Any chance you could re-upload? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sith Holocron 2,478 Posted April 26, 2018 He just tested it this morning and it worked fine for him. I have also tested it and I opened it fine with 7z. Either your 7z is woefully out of date or it's corrupted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TK-664 69 Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Updated the mod but I'm still a tad undecided on the values for the heavy repeater types... ended up settling for 3-15 over 2-14. These are all minor changes however, as we all know that what really upped the blaster's game in K2 was the introduction of various useful upgrades for a lot of available weapons. EDIT: New update for the mod, opted for other values. Edited March 11, 2019 by TK-664 grammar, updates 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK-664 69 Posted March 11, 2020 So as it would appear, disruptors were bugged(?) and didn't perform their job properly in combat. Previously they dealt all the physical dmg types simultaneously (Slashing,Piercing,Bludgeoning) which made them even weaker than if it were just one single type. Using them was completely counter-intuitive too since they're not supposed to be countered by shields. As it stands they can no longer be blocked by mandalorian melee shields since they deal universal damage now. Could've been acid type too, i don't think either of those is resisted by anything that exists in the game, though it would be more awkward infering that a disruptor rifle shoots acid 😐 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrThePunisher 0 Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) I also am experiencing a bad archive problem that is preventing the use of this mod. Reddit said it's essential, so I'm hopeful there is a non corrupted version available. Old version of 7zip... shwoops! Edited May 29, 2020 by DrThePunisher fixed problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK-664 69 Posted March 29, 2021 Saul Karath's pistol is obviously a module npc-only weapon that drops by mistake (much like The One's vibroswords and Darth Bandon's saber), it's a beefed up version of g_w_hldoblstr003 with all the labels being the same and the price too. I was considering re-purposing it into the game's best utility pistol as to leave Fett's blaster as the best raw power pistol, but I ultimately left it alone because I doubt anyone was even aware it was an exploit, and so it's an appreciated little oversight that's been here ever since kotor's release. At this point it changing it would be almost blasphemy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(GFF-1) If I'm not misremembering I've seen this error reported on another thread before, it throws when the modder mistakenly puts .2das or something else into the gff list in the tslpatcher of course. This isn't the case here, it looks to be on your end only which makes it harder to troubleshoot. Sorry for not being of any help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpbulloch 0 Posted January 1, 2022 It appears that my issue was with the rar extraction application I was using. When using a different archive software I did not get this issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluevexlo 0 Posted June 13, 2023 Hey, could you make me a version of the same mod but one that doesnt alter any melee or lightsaber weapons at all? I like the changes to ranged weapons but i'd prefer to have unbuffed lightsabers and other melee weapons. Much appreciation for the work you put into these mods :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
