EZ Pazaak

Description
============================
EZ Pazaak for KotOR2 by wArLock
============================
This mod changes all NPC sidedecks to only have -1 cards. This effectively disables their sidedeck unless they draw 21 making wins far easier.

======
USAGE
======
No special actions need to be taken on your part - the mod will function entirely on it's own.

It will work properly for new games as well as any in-progress save game.

Uninstallation will likewise have no adverse affect on save games and the modded changes will be reverted immediately.

==============
COMPATIBILITY
==============
This mod contains a single, static, non-script file and will therefore be compatible with any mod that does not also edit this file. Yes that includes TSLRCM

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILES MODDED FOR USE IN COMPATIBILITY CHECKING
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
pazaakdecks.2da

=============
INSTALLATION
=============
Just click Subscribe! Steam handles mods automagically but for those who want to be kept in the loop (I'm an old school modder) you will find my mod installed at:

"YourSteamGamesInstallation\SteamApps\workshop\content\208580\488929192\override"

208580 is the game ID for KotOR2
488929192 is the workshop ID for this mod

If it does not install correctly, you will need to take the issue up with Valve as I have zero control over Workshop wonkiness

===============
UNINSTALLATION
===============
Just click Unsubscribe! Steam handles mods automagically but for those who want to be kept in the loop (I'm an old school modder) you will find my mod installed at:

"YourSteamGamesInstallation\SteamApps\workshop\content\208580\488929192\override"

208580 is the game ID for KotOR2
488929192 is the workshop ID for this mod

If it does not uninstall correctly (or cleanly), you will need to take the issue up with Valve as I have zero control over Workshop wonkiness. You can also just delete the 488929192 folder manually.

FAQ
====
Why don't you do 0 cards instead of -1's?

I tried it in the way-back days (the CD version of the game) and because 0 cards weren't valid I ended up getting crashes and other weird behaviour. Maybe that no longer happens with this Steam version but since the AI can only play a -1 on a draw of 21 I decided it wasn't worth the risk. And hey, with valid cards you can still pretend you're playing straight and your opponent just has a really crappy side deck!

Why don't you just remove the AI's ability to have a side deck?

That requires a lot more modding and I wanted this mod to be lean and simple for compatibility purposes

How do I use this? I don't enjoy pazsaak but just want to win

@thomas501c3 this modifies the file pazaakdecks.2da and will be incompatible with any other mods that change that file.

If you have an incompatibility then delete the pazaakdecks.2da file from that mod and keep this one. Sidedecks is the only thing that file touches so deleting it from other mods will not break them.

The mod didn't work for me. Not sure why. Does it tend not to work if there are other mods installed? I have the Restored Content Mod from the Workshop on, and I also have the PartySwap mod from a different source.

Even with this mod the AI still pulls perfect 20's out of their ass. Pazaak truly is the most rigged mini game of all time.

yall lame for needing help, get a better sidedeck

I have tried to like Pazzak but it is just annoyning how the opponent gets 20 every time. In Kotor I ez Pazzak mod is required, in Kotor II it is not required but since we don't have all the time in the world to keep quick saving and quick loading, I recomend this mod to save some time.

Not only is pazaak way to luck based to be enjoyable but going first is an extreme disadvantage and of course the player always goes first. Any mod that makes this shit easier is worth it.

yo this totally works thank you so much!... yeah you can still loose sometimes and or get a tie round... and honestly pazaak is pretty easy to play especially once you get good cards... but as far as saving time not wanting to play pazaak but still wanting to beat each player this mod totally works and works great for that... like you said the NPC can only use a -1 card... they will never use anything else other than that -1 card so about 95% of the time they go over 20 and loose

@Sigma Eight It's been actually proven that Pazaak is actually rigged against the player. Likely done so by the devs to make it so you can not farm credits off the mini game easily. Fallout New Vega's solution was to just ban you from gambling. KOTOR II they just made it so the AI has very strong advantages.
