Modding Checkup (Sept 2019)

Since  JCarter426 made a blog about it, I'm going to do it. Cannot let my freeloading identity of jc2 go to waste! With further ado, much further. I offer you a warm welcome to what my colleague calls a "mod round up," which actually is a decent title, albeit a bit boring. *shot fired* Here is my equally as mediocre attempt at informing whatever public audience I might have about the status of my mods. Welcome to jc2's Modding CHECKUP - EXTRAVAGANZA !   Alright, it's bee

#8: Mod Roundup (August 2019)

I meant to post this back in June, but I forgot. It was supposed to be a quarterly thing, but it remains a semi-regular thing.   Updates Supermodel Fix for K2 - Fixed a facial issue and updated K1 style running to match what I did with it in my supermodel port. Yay for consistency. Minor Fixes for K1 - Minor updates for minor fixes. Fixed some leaf textures and converted them and others to superior TPC format. Darksaber for K1 and for K2 - Made new blade textures using t

Entry #14 - The Soldier's Destiny: Now Available

EDIT: I unfortunately had to take the stream down last night after it premiered to fix an issue that went under the radar. If it had been a very minor thing I would have left it, but I wasn't happy leaving it up with that in still in there. It has now been fixed and the film is now back online. The link below has been updated. Thanks for sticking with me!   Hey everyone! My next film, STAR WARS: KOTOR - THE SOLDIER'S DESTINY is now available to watch on YouTube! After nearly

Entry #12 - The Soldier's Destiny THEATRICAL TRAILER

Hello there! Production has finally come to an end on The Soldier's Destiny. After an incredibly productive last two/three weeks I think I'm finally happy with it. The official release trailer is now up. Saturday, June 29th, mark your calendars! As you can see from the end card, I've added a few time zones to help with the premiere time on YouTube, sorry if I missed any out. The film will be premiering live on my youtube channel so I hope to see some of you guys there! I'll save a

Entry #11 - The Soldier's Destiny OFFICIAL TRAILER

Hi everyone! Keeping with tradition, here is another better late than never blog post. These past couple of months have been crazy for me, very hectic. From uni to moving house, I haven't had a lot of time to work on the film. But, in the past two weeks or so things have began to quieten down for about a month so I've been able to make strong headway on the film, successfully casting another voice actor and nearing a full picture-lock. Taris and Tatooine are completely done (minus colo

Entry #10 - April 2019 Update

Hey everyone!   As per usual, I've failed to keep this blog regularly updated. Life has been crazy hectic these past few months, work is ramping up on my Master's course and my shift has been taken away slightly from this project - but it's still going alive and well! Firstly, I meant to make a blog on this last month, but, THE OFFICIAL TEASER TRAILER FOR THE SOLDIER'S DESTINY is now live! Had a lot of fun making this one. I drew a lot of inspiration from the fantastic second teas

#7: Mod Roundup (April 2019)

The semi-regular report on my extraneous activities continues. I spent the better part of March breaking and then fixing my computer, but there's some new stuff too. Here’s what’s been going on since last time:   Updates Odyssey++ - Recent updates to Notepad++ radically altered the file structure, so I’ve updated Odyssey++ to keep up with that.   New Mods Feat Fixes for K2 - Fixes some feat stuff for K2. Several feats weren’t available to certain classes for reasons

Blog #100

All of my blogs now have one of those pictures that (usually) indicates the title of the blog. I’ve numbered all of my blogs since I’ve started creating them and I’ve finally reached 100 of these things.   Wow.  100 blogs.  Someone, please call a doctor! Instead of me rambling on yet another niche topic, I’ll now invite you to go through the previous 99 blogs and see if there’s something you may have missed from me.  I’d like you to have opportunity to consider if there’s something

Blog #99 - But what about "XXX" for a sound set?

I have had more than a few requests to have as a sound set.  Now, the lines from SWTOR wouldn't enable me to create a full sound set for SWTOR's but I had come up with a alternate way of creating a sound set. Now I haven't received the lines from these folks yet but I have been promised to have them eventually. Don't bug these people by asking them when they're going to hand in the lines.  That will annoy them and you won't get the sound set... Spoilers follow

Blog #98 - A look back at my Ord Mandell video

Thought I'd pimp out my old "Ord Mandell" video for old time's sake.  It was the one of the first videos that I used GLIntercept in. I wonder if this video and my Lonna Vash video were responsible for Mrmann's series of videos being pushed out on a more regular basis. Do you think there is something to that theory?

Blog #97 - TIME SENSITIVE - Help me choose the picture for next soundset

Hey there folks!  The next soundset I plan to release will be the Imperial Agent from SWTOR.  However, I'd like your help choosing the picture for the soundset, if you don't mind.   Here are your choices. 1. The Standard Picture: On the Bridge     2. The Agent in Conversation (This will be cropped to remove HUD elements)   3. Agent walking away from an explosion. 4.  Same pose as picture number 1 but I replace the background with another locale

Blog #96 - What do you HATE about the M4-78 EP? (version 1.5)

In your own words, can you tell me what you are disappointed with or downright hate about the M4-78 Enhancement Project.  At the very least, it would be amusing to read some short entries about what you thought was annoying about the mod.  If I were to work on the documentary again, it also might prove to be a helpful repository of quotes I could work from. If you like (or even love) the M4-78 Enhancement Project, I have a whole other blog dedicated for that topic.  It’s just easier to make

In your own words, can you tell me what you like and/or love about the M4-78 Enhancement Project.  At the very least, it would be amusing to read some short entries about what you thought was worthy about the mod.  If I were to work on the documentary again, it also might prove to be a helpful repository of quotes I could work. If you dislike the M4-78 Enhancement Project, I have a whole other blog dedicated for that topic.  I’m just trying to keep these areas separate. It’s just easier to

Blog #94 - The Problem with Master Vash

A formerly unreleased remnant of the unfinished chapter of the M4-78 Documentary M4-78: The Problem with Master Vash One thing that I don’t think I’ve previously discussed is the problem of voice overs of the character Master Vash – the Jedi we’re seeking in the M4-78 materials. Did you know that there are two voice actresses for the lines that appear in the game? When we first see and hear Master Vash, it’s an old video that T3-M4 plays of your Exile’s trial on Coruscant

Entry #2: "And. Here. We. Go."

Heh. One of my favorite moments in the Dark Knight trilogy. Anyways...Like one of my IRL friends, I'm really not one for receiving presents; but...I do enjoy giving them. So, as an inverse birthday present, I'm repackaging some of my mods to upload / update them here with new previews and consistent readme formatting. I started last night with updating "Clothed Beginning", and hope to get more of them uploaded /  updated soon. Unfortunately, I lost most of my original preview images for mod

"As there's a hard limit for new placeables in KotOR1 with very few spaces left, has that affected your porting of TSL modules to KotOR1?" - @Sith Holocron Great question! Got me thinking ^^ My thought was to just bypass the problem by completely porting the first game to the second game as a total conversion. Would also make sense as it would require users to port some files from the first game themselves ( exe, dlls, inis, music, sounds and movies ) and allow me to make an ultimate

#6: Airing of Grievances

I got a lot of problems with you people. Now you're gonna hear about it. I'm trying something new again, though I've been thinking of doing it for a while. I noticed the site update changed the way it manages updates to mods. I think the new way makes more sense than the old way, but it does mean it's easier for updates to go unnoticed to anyone who isn't specifically following the mod page for that. So I figured I'd do a sort of mod roundup every so often to shout into the void about what

Entry #9 KOTOR Prequels End of 2018 Status

Hey everyone! As 2018 draws to a close (damn, time flies), I thought I'd share an update on the project. Unfortunately, there won't be a trailer anytime this year -or, what's left of it- like I was hoping. It simply isn't in a state to be shown off yet, nor is enough done to warrant a trailer of any kind. But, with that said, the film is coming along really, really well. The story arc for all three films has been in place for about a year now, and thanks to some people, particularly @S
