This one is way too big for my little site, so I'm going to put this one on PCGameMods so that people will actually be able to download it :)

Before we jump into the details, I want to take a moment to recognize the following for their contributions on the project:

Prime & Numark79 - Thank you so much for graciously allowing me to use your movie style skins.

Svosh - Without your Photoshop tips and tricks, I'd probably be still working on this the wrong way 6 months from now. You are the PhotoShop Master!

Jatku - Thanks for being my 3am PnP/d20 IM resource.

Ok, now for a break down of goods. For Light Side, I have added 6 new skins as well as several new robes. Each robe has a new item description (which can be found in the readme's on my site or in the download).

The Padawan Robe (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=Padawan.jpg) takes the place of the standard Jedi Robe.

The Jedi Knight Robe (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=Knight.jpg) simply reskins the existing robe. No other changes.

The Jedi Emissary Robe (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=Emissary.jpg) takes the place of the old Jedi Master Robe.

The next three "prestige class" robes have boosted stats similar to the Qel-Droma Robes.
The Jedi Weapon-Master Robe (http://img87.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img87&image=Weapon-Master.jpg), the Jedi Watchman Robe (http://img75.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img75&image=Watchman.jpg), and the revised Jedi Master Robe (http://img75.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img75&image=Master.jpg) :bounce1:

Similar robes have been created for Dark Side play and include the following new items:
Sith Initiate Robe (Dark Jedi Robe)
Sith Apprentice Robe (Dark Jedi Knight Robe)
Sith Warrior Robe (Dark Jedi Master Robe)
Sith Marauder Robes (Guardian prestige class)
Sith Assassin Robes
Sith Lord Robes
Just like Bioware, I only made one Dark Side robe skin. Darth Maul was my inspiration on this one :dmaul3:

Screenie (http://img28.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img28&image=Sith.jpg)

Readme's can be found on my web site (http://www.freewebs.com/achilles01/jedirobes.htm) along with the screenies seen here.

The download is available at PC Game Mods (http://www.pcgamemods.com/7537/).

Darth333 was kind enough to point out a potential bug with this mod.

It seems that Darth Bandon's utc file for Manaan has the same name as the Bandon utc for the Endar Spire. This means that you will have a game crash when you encounter Bandon on the Endar Spire.

The only way to avoid this bug is to temporarily remove g_bandon001.utc from your Override folder. Once you have passed this level you can put it back without fear of additionaly crashes. You will not encounter this issue if you're using one of the Padawan mods.

Thanks again to Darth333!

I noticed this myself. I just went solo and used the warpband to warp to the starboard section to get past it. Miss out on svosh's and a few of redhawks items it I go straight to Taris. Sorry about not letting you know about it sooner.

They are just.....so damn beautiful.

Hey you think maybe you could try making new lightsaber colors?
I try but I suck at it, I cant make the gold color actually look like gold and i cant seem to make a silver/platinum color either.

I just want to cry....just like I did when i saw these beautiful robes.

Or (since Achilles is so obviously still active here) you could send him a PM and ask.

The mod is gone guys. Went bye-bye with PCGMs. Sorry.

Since it is gone I will close this thread then to prevent further 'bumps'... if someone has a copy perhaps you can offer to send it to Achilles to re-release it. Then we can re-open this thread. -RH

Re-opened per Achilles' request. :) --Jae

Thanks, this is such a great mod, I was getting a little tired of coming here and not being able to download it. (By the way, watch out for Apollo and the poison arrow to the heal. If I were you, I'd put some extra plating down there.)

Great work... Only problem I have is compatibility. Mostly the .utc files, it conflicts with Weapons of the Old Republic and the Sith Academy Enhanced, the one that makes them wear robes instead of those sith uniforms, and adds more students/teachers for the final battle to get out.

I just sorta have to cherry pick and work on the .utc files.

Put this mod in first, then run the patchers for the other two.

No, they also modify UTC, UTI, etc files to have the necessary equipment. But, with wotor, you can also do it manually, as most of the time they just add a weapon to the utc file, such as the bastsbr.

Hello everyone! Im new in these forums and immediately i have a question about this modification.

Im wondering is it just me or did i do something wrong when i installed this mod, but when i start new game (after installing mod) and come to the room where Darth Bandon SHOULD be standing, theres nothing.

I tried to install and uninstall this mod, and readed the readme file about dozen times and still it bugs when i reach Bandon in Endar Spire. Trask speaks his line and then everything stops = Ctrl+Alt+Del

So if anyone have a solution for this problem i would be so gratefull, saw the screenies and it was love at first sight! Thanks in advance :)

Apologies for necromancing this thread, but this mod is now available on Deadly Stream (http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/334-achilles-kotor-robe-mod/).

I'm currently doing a test run through TSL to make sure that v3 (http://lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=191374) of my robe mod for that game plays nicely with TSLRCM. Assuming nothing needs to be fixed, I should have a similar update for that mod in a few days.
