1. Description:

This mod is a compilation of various bugfix mods put together with the intention of fixing all the known bugs with the last official patch of KOTOR 2. A huge thanks to all of the mod authors who created these mods, and gave me permission to include them in this patch.

 

2. Install:

Run INSTALL.exe and navigate to your K2 install folder. Generally speaking, this mod should be installed before anything else, except mods that do hard edits/overwrites of 2DA, TLK or MOD (module) files.

Given the complexity of this mod, a clean install of KOTOR II is recommended. However, you can check through the installation log file if you wish to undo the changes made.

Excellent! Here's something that'll definitely have a permanent place in my Kotor II games from now on

 

Thanks to all the modders who've made these various fixes and AFP for putting this together!

Hello!

Does it matter whether I install the Community Patch or TSLRCM first?

Late answer, but it is recommended to install TSLRCM first.

Greetings,

So I found HK's model [P_HK47.MDL/MDX] inclusion in the data folder, though can't find any documentation of what it's doing there. Any missed-information I should know?

That's probably MF's eye fix.

[DarthParametric 3,808]

No, that's still an open issue - https://github.com/KOTORCommunityPatches/TSL_Community_Patch/issues/79

The existing HK models are from JC's Shader Fixes.

Yeah, was expecting that -- but the filesize's different between them so I thought it's something else.

Ah I see, thanks for the confirmation.

It should be easy enough to combine them. Just decompile the K2CP one, open the ASCII, find the disabled anim and edit the following:

    node dummy Mesh01
      parent talkdummy
      orientationkey
        0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
        0.0333333 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
      endlist
    endnode

changing it to:

    node dummy Mesh01
      parent talkdummy
      selfillumcolorkey
        0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
        0.0333333 0.0 0.0 0.0
      endlist
    endnode

(it doesn't need an orientation key anyway).
