Blog #16 - When Responding to a Big Update/Post . . .

Just say a modder has - after some period of time - posted a sizable update to one of his/her projects. Something like this . . .   In your excitement, you may have felt the need to quote the original poster's entire post. You don't need to do that because that modder's post is still in the thread. The readers don't need to read it twice.   However, if you wish to leave a comment on a particular part, then trim the quote down to that specific part. For example . . .

Blog 105: Star Wars Christmas Haul (2020 Edition)

As folks tend not to see these things, I decided to document at least for myself Star Wars related Christmas gifts I received this year.  So here we go... 1. The Star Wars Logo Advent Calendar Though we had this at the start of the month (obviously), I thought I'd include it as it did cover most of December and it was a gift . . . Avert your eyes if a few New Trilogy characters will irreparably harm your soul 2. Mandalorian series Tiki Mugs I have a number of Star

Blog #22 - Jedi Holocrons

The Jedi Holocron as produced by "Uncle Milton Star Wars Science" is described in its ad copy by the following:       So it's a trivia game for kids. I get that. But where's the science part of it? In the "poster" that comes with it.     Eeek. If this really basic information is what they are passing off as "science", our society is doomed.   PS: I do appreciate the mention of my namesake in the document.

Blog #25 - Random Thought on HK-47's Eyes

I was looking at headlights the other morning and wondered: Would the orange reflector pattern work well for HK-47's eyes?     I decided to alter Kainzorus Prime's reskin of Darth Parametric's new HK models. (Click on the pictures to see larger versions.)     I'm not sure that I got it right. ::shrugs::

Blog #108: Armor Farming on Ossus (SWTOR)

Before we get into the nitty gritty, let's talk about these armors first.  There are several varieties of the armors.  However, they are all BoE (Bind on Equip) armor pieces.  They are designed for level 70 characters and the special abilities that are currently on them are rescinded at level 75.  Why would you want these?  Cosmetic reasons, I suppose.  If this turns you off, you may as well skip the rest. Still interested? Let's continue. Luckily, as I was researching one of the armor

Blog #113: Ebon Hawk Light Fixture

I've been working on something and talking about it in private channels. I thought I'd ramble about it a bit more publicly now.  As you've guessed from the blog's title, I'll be chatting about the Ebon Hawk light fixture. (Exciting, I know.) You most likely know which texture that I'm referring to but for clarity's sake, it's this one: BioWare back in day seemed to like to source their designs from real world things and I think I've figured out where they got this design from. I

Blog #114 - The Lost Skyboxes

Sometimes in modding, things don't go as planned. Here are two examples of what might had been if circumstances were different. 1. The Lost BOSSR Skybox In a flashback scene that you as the player aren't just a witness but also an active participant, you fight the previous Mandalore on his capital ship.  In the background through the bridge windows, there's a battle raging.  On one side, there's the Republic Fleet.  On the other side, the mighty Mandalorian fleet which as it currently

Blog #115 Explanation of Glyph Changes in my TJM Mod

I recently made an upscale and minor tweak compilation to the most of the textures in Trex's The Jedi Master mod.  (You can find that compilation here if you're looking.) On the bridge of the BEG's ship, there were (are are) many mysterious glyphs seen throughout the bridge itself and the rest of the level.  I though I might go over the changes I made to the textures.  Admittedly, part of this is so I can point out some detail work in this. But mostly, it's so I can explain my reasoning in

Blog #116 An opinion piece about large scale mods and how they are constructed

This might be considered a sequel of sorts to another blog I've made (found here) but you needn't read it to understand this one. (It is there so you could read afterwards but that's up to you, of course.) I've been around this community for some time. I've seen a lot of projects announced. I have seen very few of them to make it to a point of release. So I'm going to make a hot-take which is: Work first on everything that could feasibly be released separately if you don't finish the p

Blog #43 - R.I.P. Miguel Ferrer

Miguel Ferrer passed away yesterday. Besides the minor connection to KotOR - him being the brother of Darth Malak's voice actor - you may remember him from many TV and movie appearances. However, most people will remember him in the role of Bob Morton, the creator of Robocop.   You will be missed.

Blog #64 - Not Star Wars Related

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 #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 #68 - Order of the Flashpoints

I have mentioned in this blog that I've turned my class quests into a "SWTOR Audio Drama" as it keeps my mind focused elsewhere when I'm on my treadmill. I've decided to fill in the blanks in the Audio Drama by including the Flashpoints. However . . . some Flashpoints require a full group and some of them are only available in Veteran Mode (formerly known as Tactical Mode) or Master Mode (formerly known as Hard Mode). With the change of the mode names and other issues, it's been a bit
