Some behind-the-scenes sort of work going on right now. Somehow I've managed (with lots of help from Darth Parametric) to get Sleheyron all set up on the galaxy map again, complete with filler takeoff/landing videos, filler Star Map vision sequences, and a conversation with Bastila about the Sleheyron Star Map. With Fair Strides MIA for the moment, I am having to take on the scripting, which is something I've never been well versed with. With quite a bit of help from the friendly folks on Discord, I've been able to at least start editing some scripts with positive results. I have always been very intimidated by scripting, so this is a big step for me. Thanks to all who have contributed their knowledge so far, it's been extremely helpful and informative.

I'll take that as a no then. The engine only deals with binary (compiled) scripts, NCS. What I posted was source, plain text (NSS). The game won't do anything with that. You have to compile it first. You can do it via KOTOR Tool, or directly use NWNSSCOMP via commandline. There are also a few other frontends around, like the KOTOR Script Tool (check the Tools section in Downloads).

View File [K1] Tariga Gender on Tamlen DLG Fix [K1] Tariga Gender on Tamlen DLG Fix This mod will fix the inconsistency with one of the Sith Student/Tamlen dialogue which describe Tariga as a female/she while in fact [by appearance and gender-check] Tariga is a male/he. In dialogue with Tamlen he will describe Tariga as a "he" now. In addition to that, this mod will also change Tamlen's display name to his specific [formerly Sith Student]. Don't worry about the voice-overs inconsistency; this mod takes care of that. It will now heard as "he" instead of "she", in addition to the aforementioned text fix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With v1.0.0 release I aim to have the mod its standalone LIP, to perfectly incorporate the lip-sync. The current version fits very well with the vanilla LIP in use - though started from the change which is "he" section, there's a fraction of milliseconds differences between the lip and the VO. There's always room for improvements - critiques, comments, suggestions, questions and feedbacks for the next update are much appreciated - PM, write them on my feed or leave any on the mod's page as you please. And thank you! for downloading, and playing this mod. Hope you enjoy the mod as much as I do! Installation: run the installer [TSLPatcher.exe] then hit the [Install Mod ->] button! This will adds new entries to your game's dialog.tlk - where they stored strings of dialogues for the game. If you didn't wish the mod to do so you may want to cancel the installation This only been tested with the English version of the game; it is full working and leave no unwanted bugs whatsoever, so be advised then Uninstallation: run the installer [TSLPatcher.exe], and choose Uninstall option. Also, by keeping the installlog after the installation will help you to track which files goes to where Compatibility: will be compatible with mostly anything that is on the surface by now, though it won't be compatible with mods that share the same scope with it. For assurance of this mod to work, just install this mod much later after every mods has, or try to avoid mods that force-overrides shared content with this mod For this mod to be fully effective you should at least load a saved game before entering the Sith Academy [korr_m35aa] module The mod was play-tested with KotOR 1 Restoration/K1R and K1:Community Patch/K1CP installed and is compatible with them Redistribution: if you want to redistribute the mod - just go with it. Though less likely I will provide supports to any other place than DeadlyStream. And be kindly; give credits to where it's due. If you are to re-use an assets to a project you will be releasing, you don't have to ask for permission - but your generous intention is very much welcome. I'd love to know what others are up too, particularly if my work are included. And then, make sure to credit BioWare & LucasArts with the release - particularly with the inclusion of the assets. An appreciation to this lil' peasant work here is also a very warm welcome, welcome.

I am planning to use both those tracks for Sleheyron, as they were intended. I may also mix in a track or two from TSL, since that is allowed now.

No. And if it's the object's OnHeartbeat then it stays OBJECT_SELF.

It would need to be scripted. There are a couple of ways to go about it, depending on the circumstances. Could be included in the object's OnSpawn perhaps, or if it is a continually revisited area it may need to be done in the module's OnEnter to ensure it stays up. For the former, perhaps something like void main(){ effect eVFX = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_SHIELD_BLUE_01); ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eVFX, OBJECT_SELF); } For the latter, you'd replace the OBJECT_SELF reference with an object declaration/GetObjectByTag.

I am thinking the best course is to have a Czerka presence with some NPCs, and maybe even some that interact in a quest, but maybe not an established Czerka module or area. As if they are trying to get their foot in the door.

Gmax might not have it, unfortunately. You can right-click and convert to an editable poly, so long as you right-click and convert it back to an editable mesh when you're done editing, and reapply the walkmesh modifiers. Should be functionally the same - doing it with a modifier is just more convenient since it does it non-destructively, but that's why 3ds Max costs hundreds of dollars.

Personally I wouldn't be against a strong Czerka presence on Sleheyron because one of the planet's main avenues is slave trading and, like we could see in Kashyyyk, Czerka is completely fine with it and in sharing in the business and profit. It is also true that one of the original Czerka business was mining and Sleheyron is a vulcanic world whose economy relied strongly on the extraction of Tibanna gas. That makes me think that partnership, more than competition, with Czerka could be a sensible possibility. Said that, I would not suggest to have Czerka employees running the landing pad and/or dealing with visitors. I expect the Hutt to want to be in direct control of that so I could imagine Gamorrean guards, Quarrens, Trandoshans and many droids being put in charge of that, possibly under the direct supervision of a resident Hutt official.

I cheated a bit with the sun angle. The skybox actually has an unimpeded sun, albeit fairly low on the horizon. You can see it when you are at the far edges of the bay: The sun angle was really too low to make shadows appear in an aesthetic manner, and not too stretched. I altered the UVs on the Skybox to bring it a bit higher but ultimately raised my main "sunlight" so everything wasn't shadowed or stretched. Thanks for the feedback everyone, I'm glad this has been well-received.

Wow, the new one looks more lively. Only by the docking bay the place already looks like den of villainy - can imagine those barrels worth thousands of credits! Hahah.

Here's the old:

I've been working on getting lots of things back in-game that I haven't touched in a while due to a new PC that I purchased back in April. I'm currently away from home with my new PC, and some things slipped through the cracks and I don't have access to them. However, I am using this as an opportunity to try and improve a few things. The first big thing is that I re-did the lightmaps on the landing bay. Since the advent of KotORMax and MDLEdit, my workflow has changed a lot and it's taken me a while to get adjusted to the new tools, as welcome as they are. The landing bay was completed during this transition, and since then I've learned a lot about my render settings and lighting, which has turned out very nicely in the arenas. The landing bay was a bit of a contrast to the newer lighting when I went back and looked at it again. I decided to use the new techniques for the landing bay and see how it turned out. I think it's turned out very nice and looks a lot more naturally lit than it did before. Another thing I did is revisit the doors. I was actually very happy with the doors before but apparently I didn't transfer the files over to my new PC. So I made a few adjustments and added a little extra animation flair, and now they're back in the game. Enough of the improvements for now, I'm going to try to focus on more stuff that I haven't gotten into the game yet.

I find this is a wonderful community full of talented people that are always ready to lend a hand. God knows how many times I have been bothering many of the most knowledgeable modders for help, advice and tips. I am sure all those who contribute their talent to your project are doing it with the confidence it is going to see the light of the day and that it is going to be a massive success. Godspeed, Sithspecter.
