1. What is this?
----------
This is a remake of a mod made by Stoffe for the original TSL, made compatible for TSLRCM 1.8.4 (and M4-78EP). It's been completely re-made from scratch (thanks to Stoffe's extensive changelist in his readme), changing some things backstage, mainly just because it's easier for me to work in a slightly different way, and added functionality to add Disciple to your party as male as well.
As such, it's no "compatibility patch", it doesn't need anything (besides TSLRCM 1.8.4) to work.
Also, it has been modified to use the TSLPatcher instead of dumping files in the override, making it more compatible with other mods as well, and not require modifications just so it works from override (602/610 disc_enc.dlg).

Here's what the original readme had to say about it;

This is a simple modification for SWKotOR:The Sith Lords that give a female Exile a choice of bringing along The Handmaiden instead of The Disciple as a party member.

Use it if you wish some variety to your parties, or you can't stand the Disciple for whatever reason, or if you simply like the Handmaiden better. This mod will give you the choice.

It will only change when the game checks the gender of the Exile to determine whether to use the Handmaiden or the Disciple. No game content has been changed, so if you can't stand having the Handmaiden call you "he/him" all the time, then don't bring her along. :)

2. How do I install this mod?
----------
NOTE: TSLRCM 1.8.4 IS REQUIRED FOR THIS MOD!
You may have to disable read-only properties for updates to be applied correctly. Always contact me if you get errors during installation.

Extract the "Handmaiden 4 Females - Disciple 4 Males (for TSLRCM 1.8.4)" mod, taking care to insure that both the "TSLPatcher.exe" file and "tslpatchdata" folder are extracted to the same folder (these files can be extracted to any folder on your hard drive EXCEPT those within the SWKotOR2 folder hierarchy). Also note that simply copying the files within "tslpatchdata" to your "Override" folder will not properly install the mod.

Non-Steam:
Simply run the TSLPatcher and point it to your installation location, and pick the first installation option.

Steam:
* If using just TSLRCM run the TSLPatcher and point it towards the TSLRCM Workshop location (/SteamApps/workshop/content/208580/485537937 for the English TSLRCM). Use the first installer option.
* If using TSLRCM and M4-78EP pick the second installer option and point it towards the TSLRCM Workshop location as shown above. Afterwards run the TSLPatcher again(!) and run the 3rd installer option, pointing it to the M4-78EP Workshop location (/SteamApps/workshop/content/208580/485560877).

Note: a new folder named "backup" will be created during insanitation within the folder the installer was run from. If you plan on uninstalling this mod this folder and the files therein must not be deleted as they are used during the uninstall process.

3. Uninstall:
----------
The files listed below may have been modified during the installation of this mod:
Within "Overide"
* globalcat.2da

Within "Modules"
* 950COR.mod
* 610DAN.mod
* 262TEL.mod
* 006EBO.mod

The following file has been replaced in "Override"
* handmaiden.dlg

The following files have been added during installation of this mod:
* k_sup_galaxymap.ncs

Backups of any file that was altered were made during insanitation and placed in a folder called "backup" within the folder the installer was run from.

4. Playing instructions (read this or suffer)
----------
Copied over from the original readme, as I used the same requirement for Handmaiden to join you as female as the original mod did.
To NOT make Handmaiden join you (either as male or female) pick the "I don't care - you're going back." or "I'm taking you back to Telos - you're not welcome on this ship." when Handmaiden sneaks onboard the Ebon Hawk after leaving the Telos Academy.

In order to get the Handmaiden to come along with a female Exile, you must speak with her (the one who isn't called "Handmaiden Sister" and just "Handmaiden") when you are in the Telos Academy. Talk to her about anything you like, but when you prepare to end the conversation, she will ask you what the Force feels like.

Here you must pick one of the polite options, either telling her what the force feels like or what it's loss feels like. When she thanks you for the explanation, you MUST respond with:

"If you have any further questions in the future, seek me out and ask them."

...if you want her to come along. If you say anything else there as a female Exile, she will not stow away on the Ebon Hawk and you'll pick up the Disciple on Dantooine instead as usual.

I thought this was the easiest way to subtly indicate that she should come along without going outside the story and add a dialog option to directly tell her to come, which would ruin the stowaway "surprise" scene on the Ebon Hawk.

5. Known issues:
----------
So far, no issues are known!!!

6. Distribution Notes:

7. Thanks and acknowledgments:
----------
My thanks go out to:
The TSLRCM team... whom whichout I wouldn't become interested in modding TSL, and thus wasting so much on my time on frivilous mods...
Stoffe, for making the original mod and making the changelist in the readme so detailed it made it far easier for me to adjust it to TSLRCM 1.8.4!
Everyone who helped me by testing this before version 1.0.
Fair Strides who updated the TSLPatcher to work properly for the Steam Workshop!

Original thanks by Stoffe;

This mod came into being after reading a thread at the Holowan Laboratories forum (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=144956) that asked for such a Mod. Since I couldn't find any I figured I should try to make one.

Though I have made the changes in this mod myself, often the hardest part of changing game behavior is knowing which game sequences and files to change. A number of people at the Holowan Laboratories have been helpful to that end. I'd also like to thank some people who risked the integrity of their game to test this mod and reported their findings. :)
