Graphical glitch on taris

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, so I recently started a new game on KOTOR and everything was fine until I got to upper city taris. The skybox is glitched out, I had Kexikus' skybox mod installed so I thought that's what was causing it. I deleted his files and reloaded Taris but the glitch was still there. I don't know what can be causing since I don't have any other skybox mod's installed. Any ideas?

You can add Kex's mod back. It isn't at fault.

Are you using an upscaled textures mod? Looks like the vista buildings are not being alpha masked.

Edit: Actually it doesn't seem like the are being properly textured at all. Check your Override folder for the presence of LTS_Bsky01.tga and LTS_Bsky02.tga.

Edit 2: OK, that actually is part of Kex's mod. Try putting this in your Override rather than deleting the TGA. What's your OS and graphics card?

I was using an upscaled textures mod but deleted cause it made the game run slow, in fact I completely uninstalled KOTOR and reinstalled on steam to make sure that texture mod was completely gone. I'm on windows 10 and have AMD A10 radeon r6 graphics. By downloading that file, the skybox looks better at city level but by looking up, you see there's somehow an entirely different skybox above it. I've played with Kex's mod before and have never had this happen.

Like I said, the problem you are having is that the vista buildings, which are just flat planes in the background, are not being alpha masked. The problem is not the skybox, although Kex's mod does alter the texture used on the vista planes (which is why I offered that TXI).

What happens when you delete LTS_Bsky01.tga from your Override folder?

  I'm facing the same issue. Tried deleting LTS_Bsky01.tga and adding the attached file to Override, and the only thing that changes is the color of the "wall" around the buildings. I also tried adding the attached file to Override without deleting LTS_Bsky01.tga and got the same result

 

Edit: I also tried just deleting the TGA file, and the result is the same.

In that case the issue is not caused by my mod but presumably by your GPU or OS being unable to handle transparency in the game. The game is known to have issues with AMD cards and operating systems other than Windows (if it even runs on the latter, I can't remember). Have you tried changing graphics settings?

  So far I've tried to disable grass and enabling antialiasing transparency on nvidia control panel. I'm not even sure if those settings would change anything, but I gave it a shot and it didn't work.

  I'm downloading an update for my GTX 980ti right now, and I'm running GOG's version on Windows 10. I'll let you guys know once I'm done with the driver update

 

  Edit: Updating the driver didn't help. Just would like emphasize that, as mentioned in the mod thread, I added the TXI file posted by DarthParametric here, and changed the blending mode from punchthrough to additive, and that made transparency kick in. That doesn't really fix the issue because it will show transparent buildings

 

  Edit 2: Here's my swkotor.ini if it's of any help:

Edit 3: I've enabled cheats and went to check at least one location of each "world". All skyboxes are fine. I only have issues with the buildings in the Upper City of Taris
