That was a lot of fun! Considerably more enjoyable than I'd gone in expecting. Bit of a slow start, and I wasn't fond of the colour palette, but overall, I really liked it. Got used to Alden as Han about a half hour in, and by the end, I actually thought he was pretty good 7.5/10 from me

I miss the Signature on the member responses. I used to have a couple quotes at the bottom of my responses that are no long we there.

I've only just returned home after being away for three days so I didn't have much time to browse the new site but there are some things that I noticed immediately, so I figured they might be interesting. My general feeling is that the update is a great and welcome improvement for DS! The top menu/bar seems weird to me. It links to site parts that I rarely ever use while getting to the IMO core parts of the site like the main forum page or the downloads takes two clicks. That doesn't seem very user friendly to me. I could use a bigger font on my monitor. I don't even know if it's smaller than before or if there is an option to change the font size but judging from this thread the latter doesn't exist. If it does just disregard this sentence. And just a personal opinion on design: The top banner looks cool but I think it should be focused on KotOR as that's the central part of the site. But that's just a personal opinion and not important at all.

So the new site skin seems very phone-centric. All the headings and text are big and chunky, presumably for touch navigation. There doesn't appear to be any provision to change scales or widths in user settings. Switching to the default theme does make a minor improvement (including putting downloads on the navigation bar instead of burying it in a drop-down), but Jesus, the blinding whiteness of it. Are there any plans for more desktop-friendly themes/layouts in the future? Edit: Btw, I find the "someone reacted to your post" message unintentionally hilarious. The first time I saw it I imagined the reaction was Tyvokka's eye twitching.

http://www.indiewire.com/2018/05/boba-fett-movie-star-wars-james-mangold-1201968285/ James Mangold, who directed Logan, The Wolverine, and 3:10 to Yuma is going to direct the Boba Fett solo film. Coming just off of Logan, I think this an inspired choice for a Star Wars film, especially since he is writing and directing. Certainly better than their original choice, Josh Trank (who was responsible for Fant4stic). Of course, hard to say how much studio interference will play into this, but I remain ever optimistic (note: I haven't seen Solo yet)

As far as I could tell the change took place after the site was updated. For me the "what's on your mind" spot for status updates has been there even after the site update. Replying needs to be made a little more obvious. Someone not familiar, or most in general, wouldn't think to click the number of replies. I clicked that in order to reply to the status update because I discovered that it was a clickable link. That takes you directly to the status update. I'm cool with that, however my only problem is that as I said, most would not think to click the number of replies to get to the status update. Yes you can go to the status update by checking their profile, and that kind of gives users information on other users and their activities, but it is a bit of a hassle if it's not necessary. All I'm saying, is that if there is going to be a link to get to the status page directly, there needs to be a "reply here" button. Personally I don't feel that the site is supposed to be considered as finished with its update yet. I expect there to be much polishing going on before it's actually done. Right now it's just got all the main parts finished to get the site back up and running as soon as possible.

I'm working on Jolee now, but I love Revan and his voice was the best part of vanilla TOR for me, so I tried to channel some Jeff Bennett for you. EDIT: Added my quick take on the rest of the guys you posted as well. Revan.wav AndTheRest.wav

Thinking back on that scene, there's another character that needs split gender lines. And that issue requires another character to be added to the list. Who wants to be Darth Revan? The concept behind the line - if you hadn't figured it out already - is that major Sith characters in a vision are asking you to verbally complete the Sith Code. The one line that I'll need for Revan is "Through power, I gain . . ." No mask filters and no pitch changes! I need a female version and a male version for this, folks! Update: Just tweaked Malak's line in the mod. (Yes, he's part of that vision scene too.)

Did that just change in the last 12-24 hours? I could have sworn there was a "what's on your mind" field directly under the status bar on the side panel after the initial site update, but that no longer appears to be there. I can't see an option anywhere to set a new status. And replying seems to requires clicking through a bunch of pages. This seems like a step backwards, and the previous version wasn't exactly stellar to begin with. Edit - So it looks like the "what's on your mind" thing randomly comes and goes? Weird. When it is there, it seems like it just leads to a content overview, not a place to actually add a new status update. On a different note, there's no option to use anything but a WYSIWYG editor? Where's the option for a plain text editor with raw BBCode? Does this version of IPB altogether lack general board settings?

https://youtu.be/JH1YifXfwQQ my audition for Ezer Arden also Darth Sion "peace is a lie, there is only..." line could use a remake and also he needs one for a female exile playthrough, because in the files there's only a "you will not harm him" voice line for sion not a "you will not harm her" voice line. thankfully i can make that. here you go: https://youtu.be/RUusN9vJoCw

I seem to be unable to send comments on downloads that don’t currently have comments, although some of them still do have comments sent and commenting them works. Or maybe it’s just an issue with specific files. I am confused. Is this caused by the updated version?

I think the new looks is cool. I miss my personal color choice, but I'll live. The status update thing wasn't obvious to figure out. There is no "see more" button, and replying wasn't obvious either. A few things took some time to figure out, but that's only because I'm used to the old layout. I am interested in finding out if the search function is changed. It wasn't very good before. The filters in the old one were a bit weird too. Some odd options, while missing necessary ones.

Maybe a ”zoom” or ”change font size” setting? (A max-width setting so that it doesn’t spread too much on a big screen, but adjust comfortably nonetheless? I wouldn’t know though, my screen isn’t that big.) Just an idea. I don’t mind the theme per se, other than the fact that I’m completely lost 90 % of the time.

As far as the themes go, I was just thinking it would probably be the easiest way of implementing optional changes without screwing over people that might like it as-is. Like, for example, just duplicate the current DS theme and set it to 90-95% screen width, call it "widescreen". I don't think you'd actually need a bunch of themes. I'd think one optimised for desktops and one optimised for mobile should be sufficient (assuming IPB doesn't already have some in-built mobile provision).

This is a preview of current development; any constructive feedback is very much appreciated!

I need to make some colour adjustments and play around with the alpha for the envmap, but I think the texture is more or less done: The blade? As I said above I don't have any plans for that. Could you get it to only extend at the start of combat and retract at the end? You wouldn't want it constantly animating while firing. Same deal as a lightsaber I guess, but could you manage the same for a blaster?
