🔗 K1 Marked Empty Containers
One of my favourite quality-of-life features Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II — The Sith Lords introduced that did not exist in its predecessor is marking empty containers, which saves time in re-opening a container after you loot the contents just to see if you have already looted the container. Therefore, ever since I played KotOR 2 for the first time, I have been wanting a mod for the first KotOR game do include such a quality-of-life feature. Unfortunately, since the container labelling is hard-coded into the games, so such a mod cannot be created by the standard KotOR modding tools we currently have. This is why such a mod had not existed for years... until now.
Finally, now in June 2026, ShaeMyName developed and released K1 Marked Empty Containers, which involves patching the game's executable directly. Recently, the KotOR modding scene has made huge leaps in developing game executable patches to make changes the games' hardcoded features.
Needless to say, K1 Marked Empty Containers makes a no-brainer addition to my personal KotOR 1 mod build.
