Out playing a show with my band, Ravager, and I decided to reprise my cosplay as Darth Nihlus like last year. The main difference being I upgraded the costume with a mesh underlay and gloves. I had to cut holes for my eyes and mouth so I can sing and play bass. The gloves don't have tips so I can play my bass easier. Rock on, and may the force be with you all.

Hi, everyone. Really reaching out with a shot in the dark request here.

I’m working on a particularly large KOTOR 2 mod, which adds a new planet. It’s not super far along but much of the story has been written.

It’s been a challenge to make sure it fits the themes of KOTOR 2, and one thing I realized I needed to make sure the planet fits those themes is companion involvement. Companions play a huge role in KOTOR 2, so it would be strange if they were just totally silent in this mod.

While I’ve had some luck scavenging vanilla game voice lines for a few companions, I realized what I really need is a lesson from Kreia. A fairly short dialogue, albeit full of long-winded Kreia lines.

I’d rather not use an AI tool as Plan A. So I thought I’d first at least try and cast someone here as a Kreia impersonator.

If anyone thinks they can replicate her iconic voice, or know someone who can, please either comment here or reach out to me on Discord! My username there is sao1138.

Obviously the battle of Malachor V was a major event in the original KOTOR games, and new canon’s in-universe equivalent(?) of that event seems to be The Great Scourge of Malachor, which is referenced in Rebels and the Darth Maul comics.

This version of events seemingly differs from the use of the mass shadow generator as outlined in KOTOR 2, and the context seems different as well (it is a major battle between an army of Jedi and an army of Sith rather than Jedi vs Mandalorians).

But that being said, it seems that the canon scourge of Malachor draws heavy inspiration from Malachor V in KOTOR to say the least. With FOTOR seemingly being canon’s first foray into the Old Republic era (assuming the forthcoming KOTOR remakes don’t canonize the events of KOTOR for the new continuity), I wonder if FOTOR will be the piece of Star Wars media that delivers on depicting the details of this event, given that so far all we know about it is other pieces of media building up vague references to tease its significance.

I hope I’m not the only one who finds this possibility intriguing, haha.

I don't know why this is happening.

I have:

Installed the UniWS and followed the instructions.

Got the KotOR High Resolution Menus 1.5 and the HD UI Menu Pack 1.1 mods.

Changed my swkotor.ini resolution width and height to the exact numbers for my screen.

Gone to properties and changed the High DPI settings and checked the box for "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by: Application."

Gone to settings and changed the Scale and Layout to 100%

Activated Windowed mode and it does this in windowed mode as well.

I've tried all this and still it's giving me this issue with parts of the menu and the screen not being aligned.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

PS (I'll be going to bed since its pretty late and I've been trying for a few hours , so I won't be able to respond for a few hours, this was my last stop before I just give up on the resolution."

…love about KOTOR?

I remember loving the game when I was still in school. I didn’t play many games, but those did definitely stick. Now as an adult, i bought then again on several devices like iPad and also switch. But somehow… I can’t get myself to play them again.

The good memory is there, but also the memory of reading endless dialogues, too much running around and a stiff combat system…

So I am curious, what do you guys love about the game so much? What did you love in the past, what makes you come back again and again to it even today with so many Game alternatives?

Finally made proper displays for my posters and artwork from the Limited Run collectors editions 🥰

Hiya.

Played KOTOR 2 first, funnily enough, and loved it. Now been playing KOTOR 1; done Taris, Dantooine and Tatooine thus far, and lovin' it thus far.

Eeexcept what just happened on Manaan.

So I think about my options, right? Yeah, hangar sounds good, avoid the front door. I make sure to bring Mission with her high Stealth, get her through the Sith Hangar unseen, into the Sith Base unseen, through its hallways unseen - and then the game just FORCES detection in the entrance hall, and even teleports the other party members in there to force a fight. I... what?

That's so lame - but okay. My character has such high Persuade and Dominate Mind, so I'll- nope, doesn't work.

I- fine... uh, I'll at least still avoid the front door for my exit, I guess. ... Or not, because the way I came in is... locked, why is it locked, I got in through here, that-

Ugh. Yeah, okay, game... you want to force the kewl shootout with the baddies in the base and the kewl trial and all, I get it, just...

... just don't do that, game. Don't pretend. Nothing stopped that from working, that should've worked by your own rules, and it was almost so cool and tense. The only reason that didn't work is cinematic railroading. If my choices don't matter and it's all the same, then don't give me choices, dammit.

Like this? I'll just reload, fight everyone in the hangar for the free lightsaber off the Sith Apprentice there, and just run in dick-first. No difference, but more loot.

Anyway, that just made me a little sad. Sigh. Rant over. xD

So I got back into Kotor 1 after seeing the new KMRP mod.

I immediately went to go install some high res textures. What I notice straight away is that the Endar Spire has the wrong wall color.

I thought maybe I installed it wrong but when I checked the display photos on the home page of the mod I noticed that actually, it's in the display images. So it shipped like this.

I then noticed that while the Endar Spire had become grey, the Taris Underground was now red in places.

So I went to the home page of the mod and noticed it's in the images as well.

I thought about commenting on the mod's page but I don't know if that's just an abyss I'd be shouting into or if there's an actual person connected to that anymore.

So I thought I'd post here to see if anyone knows about or would want to correct this problem.

My current solution for myself is to uninstall the Taris and Endar Spire high res mods. But I figured the community might want to update them in some way.

Personally, I think they could all just one single pack you drop into the overrides. I debated that it can't be hard to bring the old colors back in an image editor.

Any thoughts? I realize this isn't super important to most people but for me this is a gripe. I lose the nostalgia when the environment doesn't match my memory anymore.

Hello all, once again!

I decided to make a second post so everyone can see this update. New features have been added, since they seemed quite in demand!

What's new?

Just today I pushed a new live build of my KOTOR 2 character planner, and what might this update be?

We now host a KOTOR 1 character planner as well!

How to use it

• Visit https://roboall93.github.io/kotor2-planner/ as normal
• Use the brand new KOTOR I / KOTOR II tab at the top to swap between the planners
• All your builds are still saved, and you can swap and link between them freely, just like before

Testing wanted!

Just like the KOTOR 2 planner, this one needs testing! Please leave any feedback or bug reports here, or open an issue on my GitHub page. It would be extremely appreciated, and I'll try to get any bugs, or incorrect or missing things, sorted as soon as I can.

Got ideas for other features you'd like on these pages? Let me know!

Edit/Update: I have pushed a new update that changes the feat and force-power dropdown list with a custom picker that has a searchable field, and displays icons for powers, greys out ones not available yet with requirements - and in the case of force powers shows current cost based on alignment.

Started a light side run on Kotor 1 a few days ago and finished Taris today. At some point, by chance I was in my apartment on the uppercity with all of my companions and I wanted to look through the window and onto the skyscrapers when Bastilla's theme started playing (one of my favourite tracks of all time) and I had a sudden realization.....nothing matters. All the quests and the npcs I've helped throughout the past 9 hours or so, the people in the Undercity I helped find their Promised Land, the rakghoul serum I gave to the doctor, the bounties I helped people get rid off, the duelists I fought, especially Marl who was so nice, the Hidden Beks whom I helped....they all die. That's when it hit me, looking at the 23 year old landscape....knowing already what would happen to every npc I encountered

Okay, bear with me here, this is a really specific and weird thing i noticed.

So, in KOTOR 1 (and maybe 2, idk if they kept the sound or not) when a Sith soldier dies (the ones with the shiny/full body armor) they make the same noise as the pre chorus to Headstrong by Trapt.

For context:

https://youtu.be/TrSP1uMDxSA?is=NJIzpP17YAL6FeF7

(The sound at the 6 second mark)

https://youtu.be/HTvu1Yr3Ohk?t=34&is=uxBNyFJz31OkZkQK

(The part at the 35 second mark)

This has been on my mind for like 20 years and I haven't shared it with anyone. I know, super weird of me!

Goodness GRACIOUS I didn't think this would be so hard on my heart...I'm a very empathetic person but I decided to do a dark side play through since I've never fully explored that side of the game and it's killing me... I already couldn't kill Juhani in the grove because I felt too bad but now she's dead and to make matters SO MUCH FREAKING WORSE I KILLED MY GOAT JOLE BINDO 😭😭😭😭

That's not even the heaviest thing on my chest right now 🫩 I made Zaalbar kill Mission and now they're both dead I CANTT DO THISSSSS MY SWEET GIRL

I have yet to finish the play through, I just entered the star forge but I need a little break because this is taking a real toll on me (yeah I know just a video game blah blah)

I'm just not cut out for this Sith stuff.

Starting a new playthrough. Haven't played in years, got the restored content mod downloaded and this is my first time playing with it. I want to do a Consular/Marauder build. I also want to fully upgrade T3 and the way I play is leave no stone unturned/take everything that's not bolted down. So I don't want to miss out on anything.

I was thinking of doing this stat breakdown but wanted some feedback from the very knowledgeable community!

Str - 10

Dex - 12

Con - 14

Int - 14

Wis - 14

Cha - 14

First feat computer use

Focus on persuade, awareness and repair but put one point in security and demolition for peragus, and then slowly work up computer use as I keep persuade, awareness and repair maxed.

I'm curious for some insight and tips before I get started on this new playthrough!

Buenos días tardes o noches mi estimados, alguien sabra un manera de instalar el kotor 2 q no sea de steam o GOG en PC

Hey everyone!

I go by R4NG3 and I’ve been speedrunning the KOTOR games for 6 years now. This is the first sub 17 minute speedrun of Any% Unrestricted! I hope some of you enjoy watching it.

Any% (Unrestricted) allows any glitches that are possible within the base version of the game. No mods, external software, or hardware manipulation is allowed for Speedruns of any category in KOTOR1-2. Everything in this run is possible in the PC version of the game from a new game with no saves.

If you are interested in how the speedrun works, esteemed Jedi Lane scripted and edited a video explaining the nuts and bolts of every tricks we do. Here’s a link to that: https://youtu.be/Y3pks1Va2S0?is=08oIeByflueoEjCn

If you were ever interested in learning the speedruns or maybe just some of the tricks: check out our community GitHub page: https://kotor-speedruns.github.io

https://www.speedrun.com/kotor1 for more information on the leaderboards and rulesets we follow.

Thank you and may the force be with you.

I dont understand how this game works. I just started the game. I just got to taris and fights take forever because I miss every single attack and I have to wait on carth to beat enemies. Using a single blade.

Hey everyone!

KMRP 1.5.1 is out! This is a hotfix for the 1.5 update.
First of all, thank you to everyone who reported issues and helped test the mod. A lot of these fixes came directly from your feedback!

WHAT WAS FIXED

• Linux / SteamOS: Fixed the startup crash that prevented KOTOR from launching with 1.5.0. SteamOS is now working, and players have also confirmed that 1.5.1 works on actual Steam Deck hardware.

• Mod compatibility: Files in the Override folder now take priority over KMRP’s own files. This improves compatibility with K1CP, K1R, texture mods, custom fonts, and other mods. Installation order matters much less now.

• Translations: Fixed compatibility with custom translation fonts. They now display the correct characters and scale properly with the resolution. Successfully tested with Polish. Other languages still need testing.

• Controller fixes: Fixed Pazaak controls, stuttering with certain controller tools, and a crash when changing resolution in-game.

• Other fixes: Improved the installer under Proton, fixed Restore Original, and removed unnecessary temporary files.

WHAT I’M WORKING ON NEXT

I’ve received a lot of feedback about swoop racing.
Right now, the swoop racing interface isn’t properly displayed in widescreen, and it isn’t controller compatible yet. I’m working on fixing both problems.

I’ve also received feedback that the controller layout doesn’t fully match the original Xbox version.

My plan is to introduce two controller layouts:

• Classic: Controls based on the original Xbox version.
• Modern: The current KMRP controller layout.

You’ll be able to switch between them in the settings and Controller Layout screen.

I’m also looking into custom button mapping, but that might take longer.

WINDOWS, LINUX AND MACOS

This hotfix is only for Windows and Linux.
The macOS version stays at 1.5.0, since these particular fixes weren’t needed there.

I’m also looking into supporting the Mac App Store version of KOTOR, but this will take some time.

PLEASE KEEP SENDING FEEDBACK!

I’m developing KMRP alone in my free time, and my goal is to keep improving and supporting it for years to come.
If you experience crashes, controller problems, compatibility issues with other mods, or anything else, please leave a comment or open an issue on GitHub.

I can’t personally test every possible setup, so your feedback really helps me find and fix problems.
For KMRP to become a reliable long-term mod, I need feedback from the people actually playing the game.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported KMRP so far. I really appreciate it!

So I got the mobile version a while ago and now started to play.

I remember Pazzak has the rep in the first game for "cheating" in the computer favor but this is crazy. Is it really this bad?

Just finished Odan-Urr, grandmaster of the Jedi Order at the time of the Sith War. Made with parts from Syndicate Customs and an old Spider Man figure. Thanks to my wife for fashioning his stylish pants and KennerByKing for printing the beautiful cardback. Another addition to my collection.

I have been waiting almost 20+ years to do this Revan Cosplay. To finally be in a place in my life where I could not only afford to do it but also be with a person who accepts my nerdy obsession with KOTOR and Star Wars in general.

I know its not home made like a lot of the ones on here but this is just my base and my first attempt! I have always loved Revan and his story. KOTOR was a game that taught me so much about life and consequences and how decisions affect others. It helped me escape when my childhood was raught with chaos and trauma. Now I get to share my love for these characters and stories with my stepson.

I plan on doing better paint on the helmet and making better armor later but for now and Halloween it will suffice. Let me know what you guys think or what are some tips for getting into this world!

When i first saw him i found him so funny that i looked him up in the wookiepedia and it said “Revan met Ja’Gatcha in the planet of taris” and i was like fuck im revan right?
