![]() Released in 2003 and 4 by Bioware and Obsidian Entertainment respectively, I’ll be taking a look at the sequel, and tell you why you should play this excellent game. It’s the Knights of the Old Republic titles. While The Rise of Skywalker and the sequel era as a whole has been disappointing, save for Rogue One, there’s one game from the ill-considered prequel era of Star Wars that’s been gaining a lot of love lately. That's about it for the major mods.It’s 2020, and Star Wars is as bustling of a franchise as it always has been. The Ultimate Sound Mod (NOT shortened USM, a major mod for TSL is shorted to USM, it's been around for much longer) this mod replaces the default sounds with sounds pulled out of the movies (both old and new). Weapons of the Old Republic (WOTOR) is a mod that adds custom designed weapons for each of your party members and other major characters you'll meet throughout the game. To install it, extract the the archive, then run "TSLPatcher.exe" and follow the on screen instructions. This mod is a tank, weighing in at 670 megs (The biggest out of all of the TSL and KOTOR mods). Really well done, and took years to complete. The Brotherhood of the Shadow is the biggest mod for Kotor. The Holowan plug in runs a pretty typical installer. That's why we're installed it first, then the TSL patcher mods after. The Holowan Plugin doesn't use TSL patcher, so it doesn't resolve conflicts by itself. They got around this by releasing their mods individually, and if they were popular, they were absorbed into something called the "Holowan Plugin". Right, so along time ago, modders had issues with mod collision. In the default game, those weapons are visible at all times, making some really awkward situations. It forces weapons to disappear during certain animations. I made Hide the Weapons a good 6 years ago. ![]() Extract the animations.2da file to your override folder in your SWKOTOR folder.

The installer is pretty straight forward.ĭownload Brotherhood of the Shadow and run TSLPatcher.exe. Now, we have an automated program called "TSLPatcher" that does all that for us.Įxtract the Holowan plugin and run the installer. A long time ago, the only way to combine mods that use the same resources was to manually merge them. Right, we're installing these mods in a specific order, based off age. I'm not liable for what you choose to do :P You can use a cracked executable, but it's against the steam subscriber agreement. Please note, that program isn't compatible with the steam version of the game. If for whatever reason you can't use the auto updater, check Filefront for the patches.īy default, SWKOTOR doesn't support widescreen resolutions. ![]() If your on retail, launch the game and run the auto updater in the launcher to get the patches. Kotor is 110% compatible with Vista and Windows 7 (The extra 10% is because you need KOTOR to get TSL running on Vista/7 :P) If you don't have a override folder, just make one. ![]() \Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\swkotor If you purchased a retail copy of SWKOTOR, your can find your Override folder in: I'll explain that later.įirst things first. "Collisions" are obviously an issue, but the community stepped up and has an excellent workaround for this issue. You simply copy the files to that folder, and the game does the rest. Mods are installed in your "override" directory. Instead, the community stepped up and creating it's own toolset to create mods for the game. The game is available on steam for $9.99 CDN.īioware never officially released modding tools for either Kotor or TSL. This announcement was received poorly amongst Kotor fans, as the "trilogy" isn't really complete, and the ending of TSL explained next to nothing. Instead a MMORPG called "Star Wars: The Old Republic" is in development by Bioware. It has a sequel, Knights of the Old Republic: The Sith Lords (TSL for short.) TSL was developed by Obsidian, the developers of Fallout: New Vegas, Neverwinter Knights 2 and it's 10,000 expansions. It's more like Dragon Age than Mass Effect though. It was released in '05 for Xbox and PC, just like Mass Effect. SWKOTOR is a RPG by Bioware, the makers of Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Neverwinter Nights and Baldurs Gate. ![]() Right, quick little back story on the game. I'll call it kotor for now on, as that's a bit of a mouthful. Since modding guides are all the rage in r/gaming these days, I thought I'd write one for a game I've had plenty of experience with, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. ![]()
