This guide is a work in progress, and is part of the Northern Lights project (a level editor and engine reimplementation project for KotOR/TSL).
The guide consists of three components:
- An extensive wiki explaining how to mod KotOR/TSL, from simple to complex mods
- Full examples of many different types of mods, complete with documentation describing how the mods work
- Templates for many common modding tasks, such as adding new items/characters/..., creating new modules, total conversions, etc.
Total conversion mods are mods that, essentially, implement an entirely new game within the game engine (replacing KotOR/TSL). These mods are ambitious, and a lot of work, but there are successful examples of them (The Jedi Masters, Revenge of Revan, etc.)
