Hi guys, just a quick message to let you know I've finished my modest but detailed Knights of the Old Republic 2 Tweak Guide. Brings together everything I've found about tweaking this game, in-game setting descriptions, advanced .ini tweaks and troubleshooting tips. All for you to try for yourself:

Wow -- this has a lot of pages. I think I will find it helpful (meaning I'm bookmarking). Good work.

Feel free to tell me if anything needs to be added or changed

Thanks PersianImmortal - I am certain this will be a great asset! I am also going to stick this unless admin feels it should not be and/or you choose otherwise.

 

Respectfully,

I have decided to clean up the sticky area somewhat so please feel free to access the links there as well. I will keep this thread open for any feedback that might assist PersianImmortal develop the great resource he has shared!

 

Respectfully,

Thanks for that, apologies for putting it in the wrong forum

 

Yes, I would appreciate feedback (as usual for all my guides). Either email me from within the guide itself, or place some feedback in this thread and I will check back on it regularly.

Excellent guide, as usual. Quick quetsion though. I don't have an entry for emitters in my ini. Would inserting emitters=1 enable the effects or disable them, and are they already enabled? Cheers.

It's odd that you don't have an emitters entry. Do you have an ATI or Nvidia graphics card? Try inserting the line in the relevant place, and I've updated my guide to show that =1 enables emitters, =0 disables them.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm running an Nvidia card btw.

Right - I've added the line but near as I can tell it hasn't changed anything. I can only assume that the features are enabled by default. I had a look through the .ini for KOTOR and found the emitters line there though... The interesting thing is that in KOTOR2 I can force 1280x768 through the ini file, but when I try that in KOTOR it just defaults to 800x600 (looks like they did more to the engine than it seems).

It may well not do anything significant, but the line does exist in most .ini files by default.

 

As for KOTOR 2 vs KOTOR resolution, I recall KOTOR did have resolution limitations, so I guess you can't set your custom resolution. The engine isn't identical from both games, but is virtually the same.
