Here's what I would like to know:
Where do you place the files? (Folder locations, etc.)
How does this affect gameplay? (Framerate, quest conflicts, etc.)
And lastly, did you download the mods from pcgamemods.com?
I would like to get a collective thought on this because i'm afraid that once I send out the tutorial, people may have a hard time understanding it. So for now, I want to hear from you regarding the above mentioned questions.
Thanks a lot everyone...

E:/TDATA/4c410003/Override/
Changing ini files doesn't always work out the way it should. Using an override folder in K1's save folder, does.
K2 was different in that it was not setup for DLC, so creating an override folder in the game directory works just fine.

The issue was resolved last year. Mods for KotOR 1 should go here:
E:/TDATA/4c410003/Override/

I tried that already...the only thing is you would need to point the ini file to look for Overrides in this folder otherwise, it wouldn't load your game. Did you have to do the same thing Vox?
EDIT: Also, Kotor's savegame data is in E:\UDATA\4c410003...is that what you were talking about?

Hey guys,you are confusing a noob here! :D
Alright nule...do this:
For Kotor 1, place all the files in a new folder named Override on your PC first. Then transfer it via ftp to your xbox. To find out which one works, place it in 2 different areas:
First, try E:\UDATA\4c410003\<---- Place the folder itself with all the contents here. See if that works.
If not, delete the entire Override folder and since you still have the copy on your PC, place it here: E:\TDATA\4c410003\ and see if that works.
So essentially, try placing it in both directories and let us know which one worked for you.

I tried the second option,putting another texture for Bastila in underwear.A TGA file to be exact.I created a folder and then transfered the TGA file to it from my pc.
Without any results.She was still wearing her old stuff.
Since Im a noob, I was wondering wich file endings I have to ignore when Im looking for mods to go along with the game?I understand that I can´t use mods wich require a cheat consol.But other than that?
Im thankfull for your help.All of you.
Well Im gonna try the first suggested option,see if it works.
Brb..

With both methods,Bastila still refuses to wear her new lingier that I got her.
She´s a b*tch!
Perhaps one should try another mod?I thought that a skin would be simple enough.
Not causing to many problems.

Maybe the underwear you got her was from Sears. Didn't you know that she only wears Victoria Secret? :jester:
Here's a mod you can try:
http://www.pcgamemods.com/7925/
It's Darth Vader's armor. Start a new game to see if this shows up in the footlocker when you first wake up on the Endar Spire. Try both methods to see which one works.

All files were installed to:
TDATA\4c410003\override
(I assume that's on the E: drive, but only have direct access under GNU/Linux,
where it's /mnt/hda50.)
Mods installed / tested: (from PCGameMods.com)
Evil Temple
No ill effects, but could use some work (one path lets Jolee escape in Bastila's ship, and it would make sense to give Juhani a DS shift when she joins you and Bastila). Still, a good mod. I did not test the party selection changes for playing the temple.
Bastilla's Revelation Robes
A clothing mod. No problems noticed, but you might not get all the changes unless you begin a new game (changes Bastila's starting inventory).
Nule:
While I'm not an expert at this yet, the readme files indicated that a .2da file is used to control skins used in game. I don't think you will get a working clothing mod unless you have one of these files (unless the file is named the same as the original texture it is to replace; then it might work with only the texture).

The big problem with Kotor 1 is that all the 2da files are are the global rims file so you would have to extract all 7 or 8 2da files.
There are some mods that use a modified version or appearance.2da and spell.2da. For the most part, you can place this in the Override folder and will nullify the default one used by the game.
Glad to hear that it worked for you.

I thank you for the tip.I find it strange that the skin mod "Bastila's new lingerie v1.0 - censored version" didn´t come along with a .2da file.
Well I didn´t start a new game when trying that skin,just tried to load a game,where Revan has become a Jedi with a lightsaber.Perhaps it´s best to try a new game when trying to use these mods?
Im gonna give a try on these mods that you & Darth_Turtur have presented.
I would also appreciate for a tip on working robes mods for the pc,Specifically Dark Sith robes.There are so many to choose from & Im only a poor noob.
Post by: nule on July 29, 2005, 11:30:00 AM
I´ve tried the Darth Vader Armour,some skins & the Bastilas robe wich bent_knight used with great success .
With no result at all.
Put all the conten to a folder named Override & put it in my E:\TDATA\4c410003\ ..started a new game...nothing.No Vader armour there! :huh:Loaded some games to see if Bastila got her new robes.Nothing,same old..
I forgott to say that my game is a PAL version,so perhaps that might be a problem?
Damn pitty it won´t work for me.Im gonna try some mods for my TSL game,wich is a NTSC.
I would sell my sister for some working Kotor 1 mods!If I had one that is
Anyway thanks for all the tip & help.I keep an eye open on this topic.Hoping for a solution to this.

When I first installed the robe pack for Bastila, I didn't see any effect either. I had to start a new game and play through to see that it worked. This is because it dosen't reskin any existing clothes, but adds new clothing items and places them in Bastila's starting inventory. You might also be able to see the change if you have a save before entering the top floor of the temple on the unknown world, but that would only give you the second set of robes.

In addition, make sure you familiarize yourself with the contents of the mod. Any mod that has a file with a .2da extension would mean that it will REPLACE the game's default one to the mod's "new" version. E.g. if you were to place a mod that changes Bastilla's appearance and there is an appearance.2da file in the mod, then this will nullify any other mod that uses this file. For robes and/or clothing, a file that ends in .tga is the actual texture (graphic file) used for the mod. So in essence, if a mod requires the cheat console (not available in Xbox), you can do one of two things:
1) Rename the file to replace an existing default game file (e.g. PMBI03 is the file name used by the system and if you rename a robe to this file, it will automatically replace the game's Blue Jedi Robe)
2) DON'T USE IT.
Hope this didn't confuse you even more.

I took the skin files from http://www.pcgamemods.com/14671/ and put them in the E:/TDATA/4c410003/override directory and it worked flawlessly. I also tried putting them in the an override directory in the game's directory and it sort of worked but the colors were wrong.

Hey Darth_Turtur i downloaded a pretty cool stormtrooper mod ( http://www.pcgamemods.com/8068/ ) and it worked in the overdrive in the game save directory. The body has nice reflex and all but the helmet doesn't seem right. It has an appearance.2da and a helmet.2da file in the directory. I was wondering if you can give me step by step how to apply those files into the game. I believe its those files i need to do something with but i don't know what to do with them.
Thanks alot,

That's because all .mdl and some texture files from the PC version of KotOR/KotOR II are *not* compatible with the xbox. This has to do with the size and bit difference between the graphics. So anytime you see a MOD on pcgamemods.com that has a new helmet or new weapon, more likely it's gonna crash the xbox when it tries to read the new .mdl file.
And what sux even more is that the tools that are used to convert Kotor model graphics - so they can be edited in G-max, only work on PC models, and not those of the xbox..

I've unpacked the Darth Vader mod to:
E:\TDATA\4c410003\override
E:\UDATA\4c410003\override
and
the main KotOR folder\override
I start a new game and every time it doesn't work!! Can anyone tell me if I need to edit .ini files or do anything to activate them? Also, the E:\TDATA\4c410003\ wasn't there, and I actually had to create that...which is weird...
please help! I deleted my save game because I thought that was required to install the mods, and I don't want to start over without the mods!
