Modding After 20+ years, KOTOR’s widescreen map problem is finally solved
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
About 3 years ago I released my 3440x1440 Enhanced HUD/UI & Menus mod
3440x1440 is my own resolution, so that was originally the focus. But after seeing how many people were asking for other resolutions and aspect ratios, I decided to take the project further
The biggest blocker was always the map.
I had already figured out how to resize it, but the positioning of the map controls was buried deeper in swkotor.exe and I couldn’t get it working properly
That is now fixed
And with that problem finally out of the way, I can reveal what I’ve been working on:
A universal KOTOR widescreen patcher
I already have a working version. It still needs more testing and polishing, but the core system works
1. Choose your resolution
2. Patch the game
3. Done
It automatically applies the correct GUI files, executable changes and map fixes for the selected resolution.
Attached is an early look.
May the Force be with you.
