We are several months down the track from the last update where I said we were close to releasing v1.8, but we are super close for realsies this time. @Snigaroo is getting fidgety waiting for it, so we'll soon be doing what will essentially be the final beta test before public release. To that end, I thought I would post an updated changelog of everything that has been added since v1.7.

Yuthura and Uthar dark uniforms in the Korriban Sith Academy to match their other appearances By my count that's almost four times what I posted back in March. That's some healthy scope creep. As before, you can check out the readme on the Github repo for a full breakdown of the changes and attribution to their various authors. There's also the issue list, which has further detail on specific problems that have been addressed (and remaining outstanding ones). Oh, and it would be remiss of me not to give special thanks to @ebmar and @Salk for providing a number of bug reports and suggestions/contributions. Thanks also to various other forum and Discord members for providing reports as well over the last 6 months.

I'm with Mellowtron11 on this, very neat idea. Haven't seen it done before. From the screenshots, there is not a red and green variant; any chance you could help my Christmas kotor mod build out?

57 - GenoHaradan Legacy 1.0.1 By @N-DReW25 https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1081-genoharadan-legacy/?tab=comments The first references to the GenoHaradan in the dialogs has been there. And the first assassin... ehmm... already has tasted my blades... Statement /Add on: Very interesting and worthy work but maybe a little short and with a lack of dig more in the story (by now, IMO). According the @N-DReW25's description in the download page of the MOD: "While this version is complete, it is far from final. Similar to M4-78, at some point, the GenoHaradan Legacy will be improved with an improved story as an “Enhancement Project” as M4-78 did. Expect possible updates and patches to come." I'm already anxiously to see how grows the story and I encourage N-DReW25 do not give up with this great work.

All of the following is using KotOR Tool! When you open an armband's .uti file, you can add a property to it called "Activate Item". The available items to activate come from the spells.2da file. Any row in spells.2da can be used with the Activate Item property. What I would recommend is opening spells.2da (either a vanilla or a modded one) and copying an existing row (like one of the shield rows). You can make a new row at the bottom and paste the copied row here. Then all you need to do is change the value of the "impactscript" column to the name of your script, minus the file extension ("k_sup_bands" instead of "k_sup_bands.ncs" for example). Click somewhere else in the .2da and then save it to your override folder. Make sure you have the option turned on about using .2da files from the Override folder. Now you can open your armband's .uti file again. When you go to add the Activate Item property, your added row should now appear in the second dropdown selection area (the dropdown directly below the Activate Item one). Once you have it selected, you can hit Ok and save the .uti file.

One thing you can do is edit one of the creature hide items (g_i_crhide001, for example) to give it a new template resref, tag, and just the property of bonus feat. Then you'd use a script sort of like this (You'll need to add this global as a String in globalcat.2da): void main() { string sItemInSlot = "NULL"; object oItemInSlot = GetItemInSlot(INVENTORY_SLOT_CARMOUR, GetFirstPC()); if(GetIsObjectValid(oItemInSlot) == TRUE) //There is an item in the PC's Creature Armor slot { sItemInSlot = GetTag(oItemInSlot); // Set that string to the tag of the object (this is one reason why making the tag and template resref is important; we can get the tag via scripting, but not the file name or template resref...) } // Set the Global String for use later. SetGlobalString("FS_CreHide_Item", sItemInSlot); AssignCommand(GetFirstPC(), ActionEquipItem(CreateItemOnObject("", GetFirstPC()), INVENTORY_SLOT_CARMOUR, TRUE)); } You'd need to replace the with the template resref of the item you make, and you can change the Global String to whatever you want. Anyways, you'd run that before you tried to equip the lightsaber (so, a node or two ahead), and then you'd run this script at the end of the cutscene: void main() { sItem = GetGlobalString("FS_CreHide_Item"); DestroyObject(GetItemInSlot(INVENTORY_SLOT_CARMOUR, GetFirstPC())); if(sItem != "NULL") // If the PC had an item in that slot before you ran the cutscene { AssignCommand(GetFirstPC(), ActionEquipItem(CreateItemOnObject(sItem, GetFirstPC()), INVENTORY_SLOT_CARMOUR, TRUE)); } }

I've never understood why whatever LucasArts does has ever mattered to KOTOR modding. Way I see it, our headcanon is superior and impervious to any retcon or other corporate decision regarding narrative, and we've always succeeded in creating excellent KOTOR experiences where LucasArts has failed (TSLRCM and Solomon's Revenge being the big examples of this). The last big decision by LA on KOTOR was TOR, which revised the narrative of TSL, but for me that revision just doesn't...exist. Fact is, everyone is mourning the hypothetical death of Star Wars/Star Wars EU due to decisions by Disney, but why should we KOTOR lovers care? TSL is nothing but a gigantic slam of traditional Star Wars narrative. As long as we have these games and our mods, screw whatever happens in any other EU era!

ShemL still doing good work, trolling people... https://www.reddit.com/r/kotor/comments/cmfpkt/operation_save_trask/

First off, I'd like to formally apologize to Darth P. What I said was way out of line, and there was no need for me to behave the way I did. I felt insulted, but instead of keeping my cool I lashed out at you in spite, even though you were just helping me. I realize how strange it looks having someone come into your community acting super friendly and grateful for receiving help, only for that same person to pull a 180 and start spewing hatred at a you. I'm sorry. I have no excuses as to why I did what I did, the next time I get upset I will just stay quiet. And I apologize to the people here on deadlystreams, what I posted was despicable, I made a horrible decision doing that. Sorry everyone. Since you guys don't know me yet, I feel like I should explain that this is not how I typically act, and this is not how I will act in the future, period. Usually when it gets to the point when I think an argument or confrontation of any kind is about to happen, I will see myself out immediately. I hope to show you all that I am better than this as time goes on.
