JC's Romance Enhancement: Biromantic Bastila for K1


Summary

This mod allows those playing as a female character to romance Bastila, an option available only for male player characters in the original release of the game. The female version of the romance will play out just as the male version, through talking to Bastila as your player gains experience and by choosing certain dialogue options. The romance can also be ended just as the male romance can, by choosing or avoiding certain dialogue options.

Lines will still vary depending on the player's gender; for example, Bastila will not call a female player a man, nor compare her to any man.

I have executed this by removing certain lines, or certain parts of lines, that lacked an alternate take for a female player, and in some cases voided the existing female versions in favor of the romance lines. I'm not entirely satisfied with all of these changes - in particular, the male version still has a lot more dialogue, and I don't think that's fair - but my priority was to make everything flow naturally, with minimal editing.

Also, this should not interfere with the Carth or Juhani romances; you should be able to go through those as well Bastila's if you so desire. The game does not take issue with it.

The romance system is surprisingly straightforward, compared to later BioWare games. As such, I may consider adding a bit of complexity in future updates.

 

Installation

  1. Extract files from the downloaded archive.
  2. Run Install.exe.
  3. Click "Install Mod" and select your game directory (default name SWKOTOR).

This mod only supports the English language version of the game at this time.

 

Uninstallation

  1. Remove the installed files or replace from backups if necessary.

 

Compatibility

This mod is compatible with my Pan-Galactic Flirting mod.

This mod patches the following:

  • k_hbas_dialog.dlg (Bastila's global dialogue)
  • lev40_saul403.dlg
  • unk44_evilbast.dlg

This mod may not be compatible with any other mods that edit those files.

This mod also installs the following new VO:

  • NGLOBEBAST06951_
  • NGLOBEBAST06952_
  • NGLOBEBAST06953_
  • NGLOBEBAST06954_
  • NM44ACEVIL01901_

This mod will not be compatible with any mods utilizing those names for WAV or LIP files.

This mod patches the modules lev_m40aa, unk_m44acd, and sta_m45ac and may not be compatible with other mods that affect those areas. TSLPatcher is utilized for better compatibility, but there's never any guarantee. This mod must be installed AFTER any non-TSLPatcher mods that edit those areas.

This mod includes bug fixes for Bastila's romance scripts on the Unknown World and the Star Forge. You should NOT install another mod to fix these problems, as that would override this mod's changes that remove the gender checks.

On installation, the TSL Patcher reported six warnings for me. I'm assuming that the fact that lev_m4aa, sta_m45ac, and unk_m44ac already existed in my modules folder and were skipped was due to another mod I installed earlier, so I deleted those three files (well, moved them to a backup folder in case I needed them actually) and ran the patcher again. That still left three warnings:

  • Unable to find a field label matching "EntryList\214\RepliesList\1\Active" in k_hbas_dialog.dlg, skipping...
  • Unable to find a field label matching "ReplyList\106\EntriesList\0\Active" in k_hbas_dialog.dlg, skipping...
  • Unable to find a field label matching "ReplyList\303\EntriesList\0\Active" in k_hbas_dialog.dlg, skipping...

Does anyone know what I need to do in order to remedy those problems? Or will the mod run effectively despite those warnings? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I haven't modded KOTOR since...ooh, probably 2006? So I'm a bit rusty on how it all works! I'm not sure I even had the TSL Patcher back then tbh!

This is normal. You shouldn't move/remove them before running TSLPatcher. TSLPatcher will patch the existing files and this is usually fine.

This, however, is not normal and means the mod didn't install correctly.

Are you using any other mods that affect k_hbas_dialog.dlg? And if so, could you attach your backup copy of it?

Yes, I also have the "Untold Love Story" mod installed (found here: https://www.gamefront.com/games/knights-of-the-old-republic/file/bastila-female-revan-untold-love-story) which is supposedly compatible with this mod as long as I install this one second, which I did...but it's possible that I installed it wrong, or that the person who reported their compatibility was in error.

I've looked through my mods and can't find anything else affecting that file. I do have the KOTOR 1 Community Patch (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1258-kotor-1-community-patch/) and Bastila's Extra Dialogue On Tatooine (https://www.gamefront.com/games/knights-of-the-old-republic/file/bastila-s-extra-dialog-on-tatooine) but neither of those seem to affect that file. Those are the only other mods I have installed that should have any direct effect on Bastila at all, and none of my other mods contain the k_hbas_dialog.dlg file aside from the two romance ones.

I really appreciate the help, thank you!

It looks like whatever changes that mod makes to Bastila's dialogue is incompatible. However, the two mods do essentially the same thing, at least as far as Bastila is concerned.

If you want to use the rest of that mod, it should work if you delete the Bastila files before installing mine.

On my end, the line "Touched a nerve, no. Getting on my nerves, most definitely." doesn't play the audio. It's part of the first conversation after the first Star Map.

Turns out I had applied the audio to the male response, so the female response played nothing and the male response played the edit to remove the reference to the player being a man. Whoops.

I've attached a hotfix that should fix it for existing installs, but it won't be compatible with any other mods that change Bastila's dialogue.

Guess I was the only one trying to tease Bastila. Many thanks!
