Effixian's Taris Arena Changes 1.0.1

I don't usually download your mods because they are outside of my tastes, however this one is pretty great. It gives the Taris duelers some much needed individuality. Gonna have to strip out the clothing changes for Marl, completely remove the changes to Bendak Starkiller for compatibility with my own build (Already have mods that alter them that I'm cool with) and upscale the textures, but I'll be using everything else.

Thanks a lot!

Edit: Okay don't think I really need the drops.

Drops?

Taking out/not using some parts of the mod.

If anyone wants help with personal tweaks like that, let me know, I'd be glad to assist.

Okay, I've finished making the changes. Everything has been merged together in one TSLPatcher and some of the hard overwrites have become edits but Part A and B remain seperate (as seperate install options, choose in the installer). As I said before I've removed changes to Bendak Starkiller, Removed Marl's Outfit changes, and removed the drops. Everything else is the same with the exception of the combat uniform textures being AI Upscaled and they look pretty nice.

Thanks for making such an awesome mod!

Please let me know if I made any mistakes (wouldn't be the first time) as I did this in 5-10 minutes. Should work though.

I found an interesting glitch, If I install everything in the Part A folder I can never trigger the Bandek fight. Every time I talk with the Hutt he will just keep saying that he still needs time to prepare for the duel (even if I leave the cantina).

However if I install everything but these 3 files, k_ptar_a02ae_en.ncs, keblastore.utm, and org_tar_a02ae.ncs, it will work fine. If I even install just one of those 3 files it will cause it to not work either. Is there any way you can fix this? I tried it without installing any other mods just to be sure and the same problem occurs. 

To be fair I'll still use the mod it will just be slightly disappointing to not be able to obtain the other combat suits.

I don't really know how keblastore.utm could mess up the rest, it's not in the same area and it simply adds some items to her inventory.

That said, DarthParametric provided a new improved script that hopefully will fix some issues.

Do note that:
- Kebla's store will only update if you use a save in which you haven't been to the Upper City South yet
- The changes inside the cantina will only work with a save in which you haven't been inside the Upper City Cantina yet
So, that's pretty early in the game and you might not want to replay from that point... it is what it is, that's how the game works.

Lastly: you can just cheat the items in, they're pretty cheap like the original Combat Suit so you're not really breaking the credits balance.

I had a weird glitch where Every one of the Arena fighters besides Deadeye Duncan were invisible, and whenever I go into the the area with the hutt and the first dueling ring cutscene plays (when Gerlon Two-Fingers and Deadeye Duncan fight) my game just crashes.

Hm, strange, I haven't had that myself and I tested that part like 30 times because it automatically starts when you enter the room.

Could it be because I have only installed Part A for it? I didn't install Part B because I didn't really like the head changes.

That shouldn't be a problem.

It's weird. I don't think it would conflict with any other mods I have installed seeing as how they are mainly just weapon retextures and skybox fixes. I have Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's Revenge installed could it be that?

No idea, sorry.

I have a glitch which might be similar to what happened to LewokGuy. I only installed Part A so far, and when I entered the cantina, only Duncan is displayed correctly in his new combat suit. Gerlon wears his new combat suit, but is depicted with a blue Twi'lek head, while Ice and Marl are turned into male npc models of some sort and Twitch was turned into a Twi'lek npc in light armor. Might be that one of the bazillion mods I'm using is causing this, but I haven't received any errors concerning these models, so I'm at a bit of a loss.

EDIT: Okay, the issue was fixed after installing Part B, as far as I can see. 

Ok, I'm having a weird glitch here. Like those two before me, only Duncan appears in the cantina, while the rest of the duelists are nowhere to be seen. This is the only mod I've added to my list since my last playthrough, so I imagine that it has to be it. I've trying unistalling the mod, but it didn't fix it.

Edit: I've managed to fix it by installing the Redux from the comments, however after defeating all the duelists, Bendak doesnt't appear.

Possibly just a vanilla issue, compared to the original script this one only adds the item to the container.

Try googling bendak not appearing, such as:

What are you modifying with Marl and Bendak Starkiller?

For Marl, it's a TSLPatcher version I made of the Duros Lower City Merchant by MasterWaffle (The second option in the installer gives Marl the Taris Dueling Suit included with the mod). Don't think it touches Marl's head though pretty sure I left that in.

For Bendak Starkiller, it's the amazing Bendark Starkiller Embelm Armour by redrob41.
