Taris Revisited

The KOTOR Revisited Collection:

Also available for KOTOR II

Taris is the first place you visit during your adventure and is a huge city to explore with all its different levels. This pack aims to both respect the vanilla atmosphere of Taris and to add an unprecedented level of detail and visual quality to each level of this place.

My main inspiration when creating these textures was the SWTOR game and The Clone Wars serie.

This mod DOES replace textures for all three levels of Taris including:

- Architecture (Davik's base included)

- The Sith Base (add-on)

- Vegetation

It also adds animated screens panels in the Upper City and animated cantina signs.

This mod DOES NOT replace textures for:

- Dueling Arena screens

- Skybox (using the great High Quality Skybox II is strongly recommended).

- Most of these textures are TGA 2048x2048 pixels (based on my experience there's no need to go highter in resolution in this game. Bigger textures on old graphics games  is just a waste of ressource to me). The total size is 2. 15 Gb on your HDD once installed.

- These textures add maximum details with minimum tilling effect. On a low poly game with no normal/bump maps, tilling REALLY IS your enemy.

- I used a soft cell shading style because in my opinion photorealistic textures on low poly meshes just look weird and not that great (but again this is my taste).

- Hi quality Reflection effects added to metallic surfaces and objects.

- On a vanilla unmodded game (if such thing still exist):

Extract the file and drop the Override folder in your game install folder. That's it.

- On an already modded game:

there's a high probability that you already have the same files than this mod in your Override folder. These files can be TGA or TPC (or both). So follow these steps:

1/ Extract the file and drop the Override folder in your game install folder. Overwrite existing files when asked.

2/ Download and use the Removes duplicate TGA/TPC tool (easy to use but make sure to read the description). When asked delete the TPC duplicates.
