A new way to experience KotOR II, The Sith Lords Massive Improvement Mod will reskin nearly the entire game, including characters, modules, dark side transitions, and 8000 pixel wide skyboxes. In addition, new visual effects, lightsaber hilts, menus, sound effects, and HUD are planned. Nearly every texture will be resized at least twice its original size, and most commoners will now have unique appearances. It is scheduled to be released in spring of 2010.

Latest News: Status Update

The reason for the lack of updates lately, to be honest, is that I hadn't actually done anything for quite a while. About a month. I know it's a bad excuse, but I just didn't "feel like it", and I've been busy with several other Star Wars projects, including a Knights of the Old Republic fanfilm titled Revelation - which is not done in the ordinary game-capture way. But this week I decided to just put my focus for now on this mod.
There's some new major plans as well. I'll be having new cinematics in the game, such as for the Devastation of Katarr and Atton's past as an assassin. I'll be using a combination of differenet elements for these, not just game captures. In the deleted Nihilus vs. Sion scene, for example, you will see bolts of lightning shooting through Sion when Nihilus sends Force lightning towards him as you saw happen to Mace Windu in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Not done through the game engine.
I have also set up a Livestream channel to have news, previews, live gameplay, and live modding for TSLMIM. Any previews and trailers will appear there for the first time. Expect a new video update soon.
Finally, do not expect the mod to be released until after a trailer is uploaded (to clarify, not just a preview, a trailer).

This looks excellent cant wait man. Also Drewton nice work with the models.
Drewton, you don't have to worry about a release day.
Just make sure to release it before were all dead. Haha
We appreciate you making this for us. And if i had any experience in skinning i would be glad to help! but that's not my area. I make maps =).
But like i was saying don't worry. You don't have to do this at all is the way i see it. But your doing it so were glad. And if anyone gives you crap just tell them you don't have to do this.
Wish i could delete my comment saying "ETA?" Because you dont need that haha.
ETA?
looks great anticipation for the end result is quite high right now
The mod looks incredible, what resolution are your textures. Are you applying any new effects to textures such as, bump-mapping, normal-mapping, parallax,.... Also when you say new visual effects, are you talking about enhancing existing shaders or adding new one like bloom lighting, Depth of Field, SSAO, or HDR?
hey buddy do you need any help? i just had my last exam and i literally have nothing to do until march... other than get a job :P
Thanks very much for the offer; the biggest thing I'd need help with, though, would be UV-mapping, and if you'd be new to modding that's hard to learn. I might just try learning it myself.
shut your mouth.
its been almost 4 months over due.
brainless? got that right
shut up. nob head.
it takes ages to make a descent mod. if you want a piece of **** half don mod go someplace else
I made predictions, which were completely unrealistic and turned out to be wrong. I have never been absolutely certain of a release date and haven't said that I have as of yet. And it really does take a long time reskinning everything - I want to make sure everything's perfect, I don't want to rush anything, and I don't want to make a second version of this because the first one was a disappointment. Also, as I said below, I've needed help with this but haven't been able to get any.
If you want to give up on this, then that's fine. But it's still going to be released, and I'd bet that you'll still download it when that happens. I'm not going to be making any more release date predictions until I'm absolutely sure - and when I am absolutely sure, it won't be just a prediction.
I know I've taken a while with this, just don't assume it is never going to be done. It really is hard work.
Also, if there is another post saying anything disrespectful like "shut your mouth" or calling someone brainless, then it will be deleted.
