Recruitable Maxis Mod

 

Description:
This mod will add a new character to KotOR called Maxis Lawquane, a merchant you will encounter on Tatooine and eventually add to your party on Yavin. A new game is recommended to get the most out of this mod.

 

Maxis has a quest just like the rest of your party. As you gain levels, more dialogue will be available with Maxis which will further his quest. I recommend you add Maxis to the party as early as possible so you don't miss out.

 

You will have the option to train Maxis as a Jedi or a Sith, which will affect his fate at the end of the game.

 

Access to the Shyrak Caves is required to complete Maxis' story, so don't finish Korriban before you finish Maxis' quest.

 

Instructions (if you don't want to know what happens in his quest or what to do, don't read this):
First you meet Maxis in the first module of Tatooine, situated to the left of the Ebon Hawk. There you can buy items from him; activate his sidequest; or, if you really want to, kill him.

 

Once you activate his quest, go to the Czerka offices and get in to a fight with the Rodian you'll find there. Once you've got the datapad from him, go back to Maxis for a reward. At this point, he leaves Tatooine and you can go and find him on Yavin.

 

To find him there, talk to Suvam Tan asking where he is. Maxis will appear and you can talk to him a bit more, and convince him to join your journey. He replaces T3-M4, whom you must sell to Suvam Tan in order to recruit Maxis. If you miss T3, don't worry, because he'll remain on the station and you can talk to him there.

 

After that, you have to level up a bit while talking to Maxis to continue the quest. Once you've finished the dialogue about returning to fight the Trandoshans, go back to Tatooine and you will be ambushed upon leaving the Ebon Hawk. This is a very difficult fight, you face off against 4 Trandoshans and their leader. Luckily, you'll get some custom loot as a reward.

 

After a couple more interactions, Maxis will stop wanting to speak to you. To complete the quest, you must talk to a Twi'lek found in the Czerka office on Dreshdae. Then you can talk to Maxis, and you will convince him to come with you to the Shyrak Caves to find a holocron.

 

The Glysh Family:
In version 1.4 I added the Glysh Family to this mod, and it's been expanded upon in Version 1.5.

 

The Glysh Family is a subplot that's intended to run through the entire game, but intersects with Maxis' story. Throughout the game you will come across members of the Rodian crime syndicate. In order to help Maxis on Tatooine, you have to kill one of the higher ups of the family, which causes them - and their leader, the mysterious Raika Glysh - to hunt you across the Galaxy.

 

Installation:
Just let the TSLPatcher do its thing.

 

Compatibility:
I can assure compatibility with K1R. For compatibility with Recruitable Kay, go to the folder labeled Recruitable Kay Compatibility and run the TSLPatcher. DO THIS AFTER INSTALLING BOTH MODS FIRST.

 

If you encounter or suspect any compatibility issues with any other mods, please PM me on DeadlyStream and I will be more than happy to try and fix it for you.

 

Bugs:
Maxis looks a little odd on the level up screen, which I believe is because he replaces T3-M4. It's nothing more than a visual problem, and has no impact on gameplay so I wouldn't worry about it.

 

If you come across any other bugs or miscellaneous problems please PM me!

 

Uninstallation:
Place all the files in the backup folder in to your Override and delete all files from tslpatchdata that are present in the Override.

 

Special thanks to Fair Strides, Kexikus, Darth Parametric and others on DeadlyStream who helped and answered my many questions for various parts of this mod. Without that help this mod wouldn't exist.

 

Special thanks to UnusualCharacters for providing voiceovers for Sith Troopers and Carth on the Leviathan.

Just a few little bugs I noticed.

 

1: With the new update, I noticed that what ever lightsaber Maxis is wielding, it doesn't ignite.  He still attacks with it, but but the blade isn't there.

2: With all the versions, there are parts where Maxis has no voiceover, and there are some parts where he has no lip sync

If you can remember, would you mind telling me where he has no voiceover?

 

 

When I go to suvam tam there is no option to ask him about maxis, what can I do?

 

 

I'm currently looking at fixing that problem. For now, take the file yav47_suvam.dlg from the tslpatchdata folder and put it in your Override folder (replacing the one that's already in there). If that doesn't work, please let me know.

I can't point to specific points, but there's quite a couple of them.  It's not just Maxis though, it's a few custom characters as well

In spite some small issues (and some other big headache for recruit Maxis), congrats for this hard and great work. I like a lot play KotOR with this MOD.

:clap:

@DarthRevan101

Hi I have a question to ask you and it's important as me and @N-DReW25 was discussing or debating about ideas of future recruitment mods like stuff privately on Leviathan like captives, for example I'd been thinking the idea of Recruitable Corporal Benkins when I had suggested a part where a defecting Sith Trooper decides to break Benkins out the cell and free him and the defector retreats to a pod, but anyways as N-DReW25 told me I simply had to understand not all Sith Defect unlike how I wrote an article to Panes Porschk how he defected to Sith Splinter Cell, but anyway asking a question I'd like to ask N-DReW25 suggests I would have to go for Canderous Ordo's implant for Rercuitable Benkins or stuff, but something else I want to ask. 

 

Okay @DarthRevan101 when you made Recruitable Maxis right what does Maxis do while your members for startes are captured on Leviathan what does he do exactly and how and when is he in cell is it like Juhani or is it like I dunno Canderous or something I'd like to know the part where we have Carth say 

ef64e59d946c564418d26bbd095b4c52-swkotor

"Well, then we better hope Maxis busts us out of here before he arrives." 

Could I ask you @DarthRevan101 what does Maxis do in this part and what his role in it what does he do when your party is captured?

Finally an excuse to use the spoiler tag.

@ColbyJames43 , I'm not going to go into the minutiae of everything you just posted.  Seeing as it's WAY off the topic of the actual mod that this thread covers, had you thought about PM'ming DarthRevan101 instead of posting it here for everyone to see?

Hi,

There's no option to speak to Suvam about him? Met Maxis, got the datapad, but nothing on Yavin? 

Edit: fgix in here worked for me. suvamdialog47 file from the data to overriddes!
