SWTOR & KOTOR Conversion

This mod changes the setting of the single-player campaign to the KOTOR and SWTOR eras – you pick which one!

Nearly every character and model in the game has been replaced by incredible models that the community has laboured into existence over the last 20 years:

• Jolee Bindo or Zen Vallow will be your mentor, Bastila or Satele Shan are leading the Academy!

• Battle the Sith Cult of Darth Malak or Darth Malgus!

• Face off against the Sith Empire Forces of Sith Troopers, Dark Jedi, Sith Eradicators and more!

• Much greater enemy diversity – Cultists and Reborn are more gender-balanced and include alien races!

• Jedi Characters wear KOTOR era robes, and you can choose for your Jaden to wear them too!

• Fight against Mandalorians and beloved classic aliens like Selkath and Rakata!

• More melee duels as many characters wield vibro-blades!

• And many more..

The mod replaces over 100 voice lines with the help of AI: Tavion’s voice is replaced with a Darth Malak/Malgus appropriate voice that has entirely new dialogue to fit the setting*, Bastila and Satele use a female voice instead of Luke’s, and both Jaden and Kyle have a number of replacers to increase immersion.

It’s always been a dream to combine my favourite childhood games into one, and my deepest gratitude for making it possible goes to all the amazing authors of the included models, to Raven Software, Obsidian and Bioware for the original games, and to TeamBeef for the JKA VR port.

*What I couldn’t fix though are the extremely gendered animations, so the villains at times have a bigger femme vibe than in other games

 

Installation:

Extract the .zip file, and put the z_base_oldrepublic.pk3 and EITHER the z_swtorconversion.pk3, the z_kotorconversion.pk3 or the z_kotorconversion_purist into your base folder. The KOTOR file replaces models with KOTOR era ones (Stormtroopers become KOTOR Sith Troopers, Tavion becomes Malak, Kyle becomes Jolee etc). SWTOR does the same for SWTOR era (Tavion becomes Darth Malgus, Luke becomes Satele Shan, etc.). KOTOR purist version is same as KOTOR except in that it's free from any SWTOR-era enemies, using Dark Jedi instead of Sith Eradicator and Sith Inquisitor).

 

Known Bugs
When overtaken by Ragnos, Malak/Malgus face a short texture issue during the cutscenes.

Permissions

All the models and textures belong to their original authors. I give permission to edit or share the replacement soundfiles that I created.

 

Future Plans:

If I find the time and someone can teach me/point me to good models, nice additional add-ons would be

• facial animations for the Kotor Player Characters

• replacements for the x-wing, tie fighters and Millenium Falcon with era appropriate vehicles

• SWTOR specific models and skins (Jedi Armor robes) for the Academy Students
