A KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II MODIFICATION

 
High Quality Blasters
By Sithspecter


Description:

When Knights of the Old Republic II was released in December 2004, it made a number of improvements over the first installment. However, the blaster models were still the same low-quality models as before. After remastering all the blasters in the first game, I knew I had to make the same high-quality blasters available for the sequel.

This mod completely replaces the existing blasters with newly modeled firearms, complete with high quality textures. Special care was taken to retain the form and look of the original items, but in a high quality package. Each weapon was carefully textured based on close examination of its default counterpart. It's a much improved package that I hope will be a permanent
addition to your TSL override folder for years to come.

Use:

Use of High Quality Blasters is extremely easy. Run the installer, and then play. That's it! 

The new models will automatically appear when you load up your last save.
 
However, this mod does make a couple .uti changes to avoid doubling up on weapon textures. I've applied a new model and texture to a few items that share a model and texture in the default game. The following items are affected:

Benok’s Blaster
Blaster Rifle
Heavy Repeating Blaster Rifle
Plasma Projector

What this means is that if you already have one of these items, it will still show up as high quality, but it will share a texture with another high quality item. If you re-acquire one of these through cheats or KSE, it will appear properly. If you start a new game, everything will appear properly. This will not negatively affect the gameplay in anyway.

Installation:

1. Run "High Quality Blasters Installer.exe" in the zip file.
2. Follow the on screen instructions, and point the Installer to your game folder (not Override folder)
3. Profit

Bugs:

Due to differences between the body models (especially female), the weapons will sometimes appear to clip the hands especially in the female off-hand). There is nothing I can do about this without introducing more issues, it is something that happens with the default weapons, and you will have to live with it.

Credit goes to Kexikus for the inspiration from your screenshots. They look fantastic so I modeled the screenshots for this mod after your High Definition Skyboxes mod.
