Blog #10 - Picking a voice to read text in my documentary

This is one of my blogs that I won't be putting in my status updates, so congratulations if you've found it!   For my upcoming M4-78 "documentary", one of the topics I'll be covering is Team Bantha's attempt at doing a M4-78 mod. The main portion of that section will be Pavlos' excellent M4-78 Post Mortem article.   I'm not British but apparently Pavlos is. I thought hiring a voice actor might be an interesting way to present someone else's written work. An advantage to this

Blog #9 - Do you have any M4-78 questions that are non-walkthrough related?

In case any one is wondering, I am still working on that M4-78 documentary video series. I do have to wait for a few folks to send their comments in an audio form. One of the folks is at school and another has just got married so I must patient. You guys don't want to hear my voice all the way through the video as that would get old quick. (Ask my wife!)   While I wait for those audio submissions, I'll put this question to you: Do you have any M4-78 questions that are non-walkthrough r

Blog #8 - What makes a mod successful?

In your opinion, what makes a mod successful? I'm looking for a more general overview in your responses, without making this about specific mods. (That is, I don't want this to devolve into a list of most favorite / least favorite mods.) What makes a mod work (or not work) for you?

Blog #7 - Creating a closing credits video

Hey folks!   I'm in the process of making a video series but I have to think a few steps ahead to making an end credits scroll which would simulate the credits scrolls for the movies and the KOTOR games.   I know the fonts to use . . .     . . . and I have those fonts (among many, many others.)   But I don't know of a free program that can accurately simulate the actual scrolling. No, I don't own Photoshop and I can't afford it so that's pretty

My TSLRCM & M4-78EP compatibility list Mar 17, 2015

This is just an open topic that lays out every mod and/or texture-mod that I have installed and, thus far, is completely compatible with TSLRCM & M4-78EP.     DISCLAIMERS: I AM NOT A MODDER, so no modding questions. I am ASPIRING to mod... so... yeah I won't know poop about crap if you have any actual real modding questions... *************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Transcending the Future

The history of community forums, the birth internet poker and the future of modding.   I have a few unfinished blog entries; Security part 2, Wookies VS Bigfoot, Dianogas' Vegetarian resto-compactor investor prospectus,... Ok so some of those are not true but I am seriously thinking about them now! So keeping those unfinished blog entries hidden for now, I have decided to write about something else that has been on my mind for a few years now. Lucky you...   I really wanted to write

False Sense of Security part 1

When it comes to internet security everybody has an opinion. However few really know what is actually happening. That is because there is so much misinformation being put out there on purpose that people just don't know how to filter it. The question here in this blog entry is, "Where do I start?"   The primary way the NSA eavesdrops on Internet communications is in the network. That's where their capabilities best scale. They have invested in enormous programs to automatically collect and an

You have discouvred Kate the Bionic Uterus' Vibrating Submarine! Enjoy the ride XDD

First of all let me start off by saying it has been too long! No really it has been WAY too long. I don't think many people honestly realize how much I love KOTOR 1&2. I grew up watching my older brothers and sister fighting over who was going to play it next. I was just happy watching them play. I remember when my eldest brother allowed me to play his character the first time. It is bringing a tear to my eyes as I type this. Ya it is that emotional for me... So when I tell you that I love t

Blog #6 - Rotating the Featured Download

March is approaching fast and I want to know which mod should be a Featured Download. The majority of the folks come here initially do so due to one of the larger mods. They may be missing out on the smaller mods that aren't as well known. I've always thought that the site should pick gems out of the downloads here and promote them.   This is where you come in!   PM me your pick for a mod to appear in the "Featured Download" spotlight. I'll also need to know the reason that y

Blog #5 - What I get out of you subscribing to SWTOR

You've probably seen messages like the following as my status update:   Well if you subscribe, I get in-game pets - specifically the following pets . . .     As you can see, I've earned the first pet. I'd really like to get the 5th pet, but I have to earn the other ones in between to get that one. They also do a one-time gift of some cartel coins to yours truly if you stay subscribed to the game - but I'm really in this for the pets.   Thanks for listen

Mod Permissions

Since I (still surprisingly) get requests for permissions and such, I figured making this post might make life easier for everyone   All of my mods (Past, Present and Future) are now up for free-for-all.   Modify, merge, incorporate, abuse, punish, etc. them as you will.   ----------- The ONLY stipulation(s) I ask are that:   1) Please don't re-upload my original as-is mods as 'standalone'. Most of my mods are convoluted at best and may require suppo

Make a Holocron

You can get the full one, but if you want to learn how to make a holocron, I suggest you get the kit. You can make a Jedi holocron. You can choose your cogs.

KoTOR 2 Telos ‘sealed module door’

When you play KoTOR 2, you find a sealed module door on the Telos Citadel Station. LucasArts and Obsidian Entertainment removed the files of it because they rushed it, so you can't go inside . You were supposed to get a new quest there, but you can't open it and/or go in it. You can't go in it, even with T.S.L.R.C.M 1.8.3. If someone could make the mod...

Blog #4 - Canon versus Cannon

Canon and cannon are very often confused and used improperly. Although the two nouns are pronounced identically and spelled similarly, the only difference being one "n", these words have completely different meanings and should never be used interchangeably in writing.   Cannon (noun): A mounted gun for firing heavy projectiles; a gun, howitzer, or mortar.   A ship's cannon   Example of word in use: Before Darth Vader and his accompanying fighters chased Luke

Hello everyone! Also game breaking glitches.

Hey everyone out there in kotor modding and more. I come here to find help and to talk about RPG games. From video games to tabletop. I run a D&D game at my school and my friends are big MTG players.     Though my main reason for joining is about a game breaking bug from I believe a mod.   Issues: Rahkghouls in undercity chasing Handar does not appear. On the other side of the escape pod is a black Vulkar he is invincible. Mission Vao did not spawn in the undercity.   Problem:

Advice about modding, no. 1...

Several points of advice which are worth knowing:   - Planning now means less time revising, fiddling, dawdling, and wasting time later; - Reading tutorials is never time wasted; - If you don't know how, read the tutorial, test the result, and then go and ask - it's the only way to learn; - 90% of the work goes into 90% of the mod; the other 10% of the mod requires another 90% of the work; - If you can't find the bug, it's probably very, very simple, and very, very obvious; - Label unique

Taking Vengeance, Round One

Running log #012... After we'd set up the credit transfer lines from Czerka, we decided to move our Republic ships back to our bit of unused space, as it'd look a tad suspicious to have an unexplained task force orbiting Tatooine. After that was done - and I needn't say how long it took - we returned to the base, which we named Keldab. There, we decided we'd strike back properly at the people involved in causing our defeat in the war - that was to become our primary objective. We would do as mu

Our Next Move

Running log #011... Twelve people managed to become targets for the Galaxy's biggest criminal organisation and the Republic, with enough ships stored away to conquer a planet. And it was only just after the war. Pretty good going, if you ask me. Though, saying we had enough ships to conquer a planet doesn't affect much, as even we couldn't man them all at once. Anyway, onto what we were doing next. We decided that if our crusade was to be a success, we needed what pretty much ran the galaxy (

Blog #2 - Plosives and Sibilant Sounds

Plosive Sounds   It turns out that these pops and thumps occur mainly on what are known as 'plosive' sounds, prime examples being words that start with the letter 'B' or 'P'. If you were to hold a lighted candle in front of your lips while speaking or singing 'plosives', you'd see the flame flicker, because we tend to expel a blast of air when making these sounds. By contrast, if you sing a sustained 'Ahh' sound, the candle will barely flicker at all, because you're mainly just produci
