Droid Testing Console Texture Upgrade

---

AUTHOR: Sith Holocron
ORIGINAL RELEASE: 01 MAY 2018

 

GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2. [This mod will not work in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1.]
REQUIRED ADDITIONAL MOD: M4-78 Enhancement Project (either EP version 1.2, EP version 1.3 (the one on Steam), or EP version 1.5)

 

Description:
------------------

 

I was dissatisfied with the textures that I made for the Droid Testing Consoles. The Droid Testing Consoles are seen near the end of the Industrial Zone on M4-78, just before you get to the Industrial Zone Archon Chamber. One of the textures had a Galaxy as the background and the other had a game map on it. In addition, I thought I could come up with better animations in the smaller boxes. I decided to take action and change that.

 

The previous backgrounds have been replaced with a new background from an droid assembly line on M4-78. It's actually a loop of the HK Factory with a new War Droid texture swapped in to replace the HK droids usually seen in there. (No, you hadn't missed an area.) Some of the other texture enhancements can been seen in these example GIFs.

 

 

 

This version of the mod is compatible with both version 1.2 (available on MODDB) and the 1.3 version (only available on Steam) or version 1.5 (available here on Deadly Stream.) Each frame size is 1024 by 1024 and there are 11 frames in total.

 

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

 

Drop the TGA and TXI files into your Override folder.

 

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

 

To completely remove the loading screens, delete all the TGA and TXI files that were included in this mod from your Override folder.

Special Thanks:

JCarter426 for his replacement textures so I could swap in the Sith War Droids into the HK Factory animation.

 

I used High Quality Blasters version 1.0 by SithSpecter in the animation with the rotating blaster. Highly recommended!

 

Corrections made to TXI files thanks to ndix UR.

 

Thanks to Canderis, JCarter426, and Malkior for their input.

 

And thanks to YOU for giving this mod a gander! Would you kindly leave feedback on the download page? (I would like to know if you've liked it . . . )

Excited to try this, it looks great. I noticed a couple things that you may (or not) want to fix while looking at the files.

 

The TXI files contain 'envmaptexture cm_baremetal', but the TGA images do not contain any alpha channel. As I understand it, the envmaptexture should not have any effect in that case? Not sure if the issue is envmaptexture being extraneous or the alpha channel being missing...

 

Also the TXI files for dro_tk04 and dro_tk02 contain numx 12, but I only count 11 frames (like 01 and 03, which contain numx 11). The dro_tk02.txi file contains fps 2 while the others are all fps 1, but that may be intentional, just pointing it out 'just in case.'

Thanks ndix UR.  Uploading updated package with corrected TXIs now.
