Blog #18 - The Current Changes at LucasForums

These thoughts are purely my own and do not reflect the views or opinions of DeadlyStream.com   Some random thoughts about the current changes over at LucasForums - as I don't want to clutter up a Status Update:   I suppose my main issue with the current changes over at LucasForums - meaning as of right now - is I'm unsure why each of the changes were actually made.   Items were archived and whole threads were moved over to a new site called StarwarsGamer. If the so

Blog #20 - Happy Holidays from M4-78

Blog #20 - Happy Holidays from M4-78

M4-78 doesn't know how to sing but that won't stop him from sending a Christmas Carol your way. For your listening pleasure, he butchers "Blue Christmas" in the style of Elvis Presley.     No, you can't return this "gift" - believe me, I tried.

Blog #47 - Preparing for the Stoney Chapter soon

As I'll be attempting to reach out to Stoney, I thought I should ask you fine folks if there are any questions that you think I should ask Stoney about, mostly in regards to M4-78. 1. First list how I should be pronouncing your screen name if I wind up using your question in the documentary. 2. List your question/s.   Thanks for helping me provide you with a better quality documentary.

Blog #57 - The Steam Workshop

Blog #57 - The Steam Workshop

I do have Steam and yes, I do have codes so I can play KOTOR and TSL. (I just haven't redeemed them yet.)   However, I've never modded on Steam using that Steam Workshop. Could I get some tips - for a complete newbie like myself - to help me along? The main thing I'd like to do by learning how to do this is I'd be able to help folks with basic modding questions. The ultimate goal: being able to help those using TSLRCM and M4-78 EP (both with and without using the Coruscant planet mod).

I'm making a Beatles playlist on my iPod. What are your favorite Beatles songs that don't usually appear on the compilations - and why should I include them?   Please note that I am drinking tonight. Woohoo!

Blog #58 - Let's Plays

Hello again everyone. I'm looking for input on another project so let's just get down to it! At some point down the road, I think I'd like to do my own Let's Play video of a game. I'll probably do a game I know for my first one so that'll make it either KOTOR1 or KOTOR2. I figure having doing a blind playthrough as my first game might make the challenge too tough for me. (Why make it harder for myself?) If you have personally done Let's Plays, I'd like your tips and advice on how I cou

Blog #59 - "Name that Gun" Challenge!

While on vacation in Seattle I went to the Museum of Pop Culture. There were many props I took pictures of . (I'll be posting more of these later. However, one section of the cases had all of the names running through (at that time) a non-functional monitor.   I wonder: can any of you identify these guns and what movies they came from? Each picture is numbered to make it easier for you. (Yes, I threw in an easy one.) 1. 2.   3.   4.

Blog #62 - Mods / Ideas that Never Came to Pass

1. The Fate of Bao-Dur, Version 1 (Death on Telos) This one's in movie script type format.   2. The Fate of Bao-Dur, Version 1 (Death occurs fighting alongside the Mandalorians)   This one I grabbed from an email I sent to Darth Stoney. Do any of you remember Stoney? He was one of the guys that made the original TSLRCM and the original M4-78. (I just don't think he gets enough credit nowadays.) 3. The Fate of Colonel Tobin (Death on the Ravager)   I

Blog #19 - Seeking Audio Reviews of M4-78 EP

Hi there folks. Did you all know I'm making an M4-78 documentary? Well, I am . . . and I'm asking for your help.   The Prologue for the documentary is more or less hammered out with my secret partner-in-crime. We're currently working on Chapter 1 which covers why M4-78 was cut from the game in the first place. There are few chapters here and I won't be spilling all of the details at this early date. Eventually there will be a section where I review the game. I think that many folks mig

Blog #49 - I need a WAV file from MOTS

Hey there! You will be most likely be completely lost in you don't do Jedi Knight mods.   I need to get a particular wave from Mysteries of the Sith, the add-on pack from Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. The WAV file is named "rc61121.wav" and it can be found in the MOTS' JKMsndLO.goo. Thanks!

Blog #66 - New Landing and Take-Off Videos for M4-78?

I asked tjsase if he could redo his M4-78 landing and take-off videos but using the skyboxes from Stoney's original mod but he might not be able to do it for time reasons. Anyone up to the challenge of something on the level of tjsase's video? I can provide sound effects and the music used during the landing sequences.

Blog #69 - My Birthday (in 2017)

My birthday is on December 6th. I have an idea that will cost you nothing and may help the community. If you were leaning towards wishing me a happy birthday, I'd rather you invest your energy towards this concept instead.   Think of a mod you've download from this site. Anyone's mod. If you liked that mod - even a little - I'd love for you to go that mods page and leave a comprehensive review what you liked about that mod. Don't just leave a one sentence review - go into actual detail

Blog #39 - Selected Track Artwork for my SWTOR Audio Drama

Sometimes, I need a long playlist to listen to when I'm running myself ragged on the treadmill. I had decided to record video of the Imperial Agent story arc when I would then convert into MP3s. After that was done, I added my own music choices. I went through the sound files to explore as many branches of character discussions so I could expand them. I even added extra NPC's on story missions - you can only have one accompany you at a time - if I felt they had something interesting or funny to

Blog #87 - I want your TOP 10 issues with the M4-78 EP

I'll have to get working on the rest of the YouTube documentary eventually but I'm going to need your input in order to proceed. I'd like you to list which version you played, either version 1.2 or version 1.3. This is very important as some issues may have been fixed in 1.3 that were present in 1.2 !  (However, I still want to hear them as the documentary will cover each version in chronological order.) I'd like you to list where you acquired the mod. (Was it from here, MODDB, St

Blog #89 - Set Decoration: Crates

Throughout both of the games, you'll find crates in several versions.  These cubes have different versions - one for each planetary location. (Excepting Taris with has three versions.) I'll list them all, provide the file names, and put a link where you can download them all.  Why this may be important to you? 1) You're making a movie and you want to show different crates for different areas.  This way you can swap the different textures in and out. 2) You're making a mod for

Blog #88 - What mods do you use for Tatooine?

This post is part of a continuing series I've been doing for Darth Varkor's next movie.   He mention that other than using Xarwarz's skins for Dantooine, that he was pretty open to suggestions. The next area we'll be talking about possibly improving is Tatooine! When you set up your ideal Tatooine, what mods you do use?  Please list the mods that you use below for both the interiors, skyboxes, and the exteriors of this planet.  You can mix and match here so if there's parts that you like fr

Blog #61 - I need a tutorial for a G0-T0 voice filter

I've previously asked for a HK-Filter tutorial and had success with it thanks to information received on Reddit, so I thought I'd ask around for this next request. (Yes, I'll be asking about this on Reddit as well.)   I'd like to listen to various voice files and have them sound like G0-T0.   I have two programs which I use to do sound editing: Goldwave and Audacity. Though I'm more familiar with Goldwave, I'm perfectly willing to use Audacity to achieve my stated goal.

Blog #83 - GUI elements from the Star Wars movies

In some mods I've seen, there has been a shift to use more modern looking elements for in-game lighting and advertisements.  Though pretty, they don't seem to accurately give the "feel" that the Star Wars movies do.  After all Mass Effect isn't Star Wars and vice versa.  Therefore, I've created this blog entry to simply show off what I think those computer interfaces should look like by using pictures from the movies (and the production studio that created them.)   These shots come fro

What I Did For The Community Last Year   Have you wondered . . . what does Sith Holocron do as an administrator on this site?  Wonder no longer!   I’ve summed up what I’ve done this year so you can have an overview. Keep in mind some entries might just list a start date for an ongoing event – or it might take up from an event that took place from last year. There are also other things that I can’t freely talk about such as advice, staff chats, and secret projects that I am no
