Expanded Galaxy Port

WORK IN PROGRESS

As I am actively working on the project, things may be broken from time to time, I apologise in advance for any bugs or faults you may encounter when downloading directly from the repository.

Hoping to put out a proper release of all three parts of the project again some time soon.

Expanded Galaxy Port

KotOR : Expanded Galaxy is a port of the first game to the second games version of the engine as well as a mod that adds the planets from the second game and a bunch of fixes / changes / additions.

Installation

Requires the Main part of the project! [https://github.com/Thor110/Expanded-Galaxy-Main]

This also requires that you own and have a copy of the original game installed.

Playing the game

launcher.bat - is for choosing between KotOR1 & KotOR2 and is installed to the main game directory.

expanded-galaxy-port's Issues

KOTOR Failing to Load

I run launcher.bat and select either option 1 or 3. The Game will launch to the main menu correctly with Malak on the screen. I go to new game, create a character but once I start the game on the first loading screen the application crashes. If I select the option for KOTOR II, it will launch and play fine.

Btw, this is such an awesome project and I'm itching to experience it. Let me know if I can provide more details somehow. I followed the order of installation and am using Steam versions of both games. The installations all seemed to suceed reporting no errors or warnings.
