Texture/model enhancements
Mysteries of the Sith Enhanced
- This replaces many models and textures with more detailed ones. Requires the Unofficial Patch.
| Instructions |
|---|
Mysteries of the Sith Retexture Pack
- This is a texture enhancement pack which can be used alone or in conjunction with Mysteries of the Sith Enhanced. It requires the unofficial patch to be installed.
| Instructions |
|---|
MOTSE LOD Mod
- This prevents NPCs and textures from being scaled down in quality as you move away, which is very noticeable at higher resolutions. This is recommended regardless of whether you're using the graphics mods above.
| Instructions |
|---|
- Requires starting a new game, since it replaces all level files, which prevents old save games from loading.
JK HUD Revamp
- Jedi Knight's normal HUD is too small at high resolutions. The HUD revamp mod replaces the default GUI and HUD elements with larger, higher resolution alternatives.
| Instructions |
|---|
-
jkhud.zipaffects the health and ammo readouts andjkgui.zipthe force power and item icons. - The larger elements are very different from (and not faithful to) the original designs.
