A KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC MODIFICATION


AUTHOR: Leilukin
FILE NAME: K1_No_Gendered_Dialogue_Male_NPCs.7z
LATEST VERSION: 1.2
CONTACT: E-mail to leilukin@outlook.com, or message to Leilukin on Deadly Stream

 

1. DESCRIPTION:

In KotOR 1, certain male NPCs' dialogue will be different if the player character is female, by flirting with the female PC, remarking on the female PC's gender or appearance, or even scamming the female PC, while not giving such treatment to a male PC. This mod removes those gendered dialogue from male NPCs and aims to make those male NPCs interact with a female PC in the same way as with a male PC, or at least as similar as possible.

The male NPCs affected by this mod include:

  • Jordo, messager for Carth's personal quest
  • Jergan in the Upper City Cantina on Taris
  • Holdan in Javyar's Cantina on Taris
  • Tanis Venn on Tatooine
  • Viglo on Manaan
  • Jorak Uln on Korriban

In the case of Jergan, who will attempt to scam a female PC out of money, this mod removes him from the game entirely, because his dialogue to a male PC involves him referring to the PC as a man and suggesting that he is trying to get women's attention, so it will not make any sense for a female PC to get such dialogue. Additionally, unlike most of the other male NPCs affected by this mod, there is zero side quest or reward to gain from talking to Jergan at all.

This mod has two different ways to alter Holdan and Tanis Venn:

  • Edit Holdan and Tanis dialogue to prevent them from hitting on the femlae PC, while keeping their side quests. This option is for players who still want to do their side quests for the rewards.
  • Remove Holdan and Tanis from the game entirely. This option is for players who do not mind missing out their side quests. Unfortunately, Dia and Marlena Venn also have to be removed from the game due to them heavily tied to Holdan and Tanis' side quests. The dialogue of Zax, Komad Fortuna, Dorak Quinn are edited to remove mentions to Holdan and Tanis. NOTE: This installation option is NOT compatible with non-English localizations of KotOR.

 

2. INSTALLATION:

Extract K1_No_Gendered_Dialogue_Male_NPCs.7z you downloaded to anywhere you like, as long as it is not within the KotOR directory.

Run Install.exe, you will see the installer presents two installation option. You may choose ONLY ONE of these options:

  • Holdan and Tanis Venn Dialogue Edit: Removes male NPCs' gendered dialogue and Jergan from the game. Holdan and Tanis Venn's side quests will still be available.
  • Holdan and Tanis Venn Removal: Removes male NPCs' gendered dialogue, Jergan, Holdan and Tannis Venn from the game. You will no longer be able to do Holdan and Tannis Venn's side quests.

Once you selected the option you want, point the installer to your KotOR directory, where swkotor.exe is located, and let the installer do its job.

If you have installed other mods, when you install my mod, you may receive warnings about the installer skipping at least one .mod file because it already exists in your Modules folder. Do not need to worry about those warnings, as it is just the way I set up the installer to ensure my mod will be installed properly if you are not using any other mods.

When you install this mod, a new folder named "backup" will be created by the installer in the same folder as the installer. Do not delete the folder or the file within the folder if you plan to uninstall this mod.

 

3. UNINSTALLATION:

Go to the "backup" folder created by the installer of this mod, cut and paste the MOD files into the Modules folder in your KotOR directory. The MOD files include:

  • korr_m38ab.mod
  • manm26aa.mod
  • tar_m02ae.mod
  • tar_m03ae.mod
  • tar_m02aa.mod*
  • tat_m17ad.mod*
  • tat_m18aa.mod*

(*Only if you installed the Holdan and Tanis Venn Removal option)

If there is no DLG file present in your backup folder, go to the Override folder in your KotOR directory, and delete the following files:

  • k_hjordo_dialog.dlg
  • tat17_03tanis_01.dlg**
  • tat18_10tanis_01.dlg**

(**Only if you installed the Holdan and Tanis Venn Dialogue Edit option)

If there is any DLG file present in your backup folder, cut any DLG file(s) from the backup folder, then go to the Override folder in your KotOR directory, and delete the rest of the aforementioned DLG files that did not have a backup copy.

 

4. KNOWN ISSUES:

None currently known. If you find any bugs or problems, please let me know.

 

5. MOD COMPATIBILITY:

Any other mods that modify any of the following dialogue files may conflict with this mod:

  • k_hjordo_dialog.dlg — Jordo's dialogue
  • tar03_holdan031.dlg — Holdan's dialogue
  • tat17_03tanis_01.dlg — Tanis Venn’s dialogue in the Hunting Lodge on Tatooine
  • tat18_10tanis_01.dlg — Tanis Venn’s dialogue at the Tatooine Dune Sea
  • man26_viglo.dlg — Viglo's dialogue
  • kor38b_jorakuln.dlg — Jorak Uln's dialogue

The Holdan and Tanis Venn Removal version of this mod may also conflict with mods that modify the following dialogue files:

  • tar03_zax031.dlg — Zak's dialogue
  • tat17_03komad_01.dlg — Komad Fortuna’s dialogue in the Hunting Lodge on Tatooine
  • tat17_03dorak_01.dlg — Dorak Quinn’s dialogue

I have set up TSLPatcher to install this mod by patching the relevant dialogue files to improve compatibility with other mods as much as possible, but it is still not fully guaranteed to be compatible with every other mods that modify the same dialogue files.

This mod is compatible with KOTOR 1 Community Patch (K1CP). I recommend installing my mod after K1CP.

If you want to use KotOR 1 Restoration (K1R), you need to install this mod after K1R.

This mod can be installed alongside JC's Romance Enhancement: Pan-Galactic Flirting for K1, however you will not be able to get Viglo's comment about the player character's body regardless of the player character's gender.

 

6. PERMISSION:
