[kotor] K1 Utility Armbands 1.0 (Modder's Resource)

[Star Admiral]

This mod is intended as modder's resource to help modders with testing and placing items correctly ingame. It adds two armbands to the game, the OpenDoor Armband for opening or closing the nearest door within 10 meters of the player, as well as the Orientation Armband for determining the orientation of the player in three different formats, as the whereami cheat in K1 doesn't give the orientation. Read the ReadMe for more detailed information.

 

K1 Utility Armbands

Version: 1.0

Developer: Star Admiral

Date: 01/27/09

What This Mod Does:
- This mod is intended as a modder’s resource, although they can be of some
use for players.
- Adds two armbands to a metal box in the player’s room on the Endar Spire.
- The OpenDoor Armband allows the player to open or close the closest door 
within 10 meters of themselves.
- The Orientation Armband provides the orientation of the player in various 
forms in the Feedback section of the player’s journal, as the whereami cheat 
in K1 only specifies the module name and vector location of the player.
- The Angle Orientation provides the orientation as an angle in degrees, best 
used in scripts for spawning placeables and NPCs.
- The X and Y Orientations provide the orientation in radians as two 
numbers, best used when setting the orientation of NPCs within the module 
.git file.
- The Bearing Orientation provides the orientation as a bearing as measured 
from due north, best used when setting the orientation of placeables and 
doors within the module .git file.

Installation Instructions:
This mod uses the TSLPatcher for easy installation. Simply run the 
executable to install the mod. It will modify and/or replace any conflicting 
files in your Override folder and save the original files inside the backup 
folder. Do NOT simply copy the files from the tslpatchdata folder to your 
Override folder; the mod will not work.

Uninstallation Instructions:
To uninstall this mod, first go to the tslpatchdata folder and select all the 
files inside. Copy and paste the files into your Override folder, overwriting 
as needed. Without deselecting the selected files, delete them from your 
Override folder. Afterwards, go to the backup folder and copy all the files 
except for the dialog.tlk file back into your Override folder. Lastly, copy 
the dialog.tlk file back into the main directory of wherever you installed 
K1, NOT your Override folder.

Compatibility Issues:
This mod should be compatible with any mod out there, as I don’t think 
there are any that add items to the same room or modify Trask’s dialog. If 
you want to get the items without cheating, you’ll need to either start a 
new game or add the items into your inventory using KSE. Otherwise, use 
the item codes in the Cheat section below to cheat them into the game. If 
there is a major conflict with another popular mod, contact me and I’ll see 
if I can release a patch to make mine compatible. 

Bugs:
None that I know of.

Cheats:
Use the giveitem cheat to receive the following items.
- sa_ope_doo (OpenDoor Armband)
- sa_ori_arm (Orientation Armband)

thank HK-42 for prompting me to start this mod and for helping me test 
the various orientations for accuracy. Thanks again. =)
