Nar Shaddaa is coming together really well and much easier than I expected: A few things to note here: The 2D building backdrops in front of the skybox are still missing. And the windows are all way too yellow. I might also tweak the building distribution a little as it's pretty obviously all the same building on the right. But I'll add the other buildings first as that might already hide this issue.

Well, atleast now we do know why they did save just the horses, not the slave-kids. Can't then go and kill these in live combat in space. Poor Rose. She just wanted some space horses.

Yeah, it's still not on par with the other planets, but it's getting there - the upper Cantina was actually mdl edited into Oblivion to separate it visually from the lower one. But all in all Taris still needs most work that's why there are still no screenshots here. Beside that, I'm trying to implement an animated SB for the Leviathan Bridge with twinkling stars & hyperdrive animation like newer games use - current resolution is 8k with stars a tad too clunky but trying to reach a subtle effect like here:

Bumping a thread, I.E. asking for updates, is against the rules here. The great and terrible Sithspecter will let us know when he has something to share. Any further bumping will be disciplined.

Nope. I will report when I have further updates.

The saga already ended , Disney made sure to kill it two movies ago.😋

With the amount of money they put into CGI I'm sure it will look good (and probably sound even better since J.Williams is still the one responsible for music). Other than that it'd be nice if this movie turns out to be a logical conclusion of TFA and TLJ narrative but since there was no plan from the very beginning (apart from 'let's make a trilogy of lazy remakes and use old cast for marketing purposes') and the 8th was a 2h32m 'let's subvert the expectations' joke that makes 'Attack of the Clones' look like a top SW movie I highly doubt that. I hope the with the final chapter of the reboot saga comes and end to disney SW at least for a little while for making Star Wars as if they were some marvel or other superhero movies and a vessel for some sad ideological mumbo jumbo may be a glorious money-making scheme but is an unforgivable crime against everything that came before them. Oh and I can't wait to see what Amazon does to LotR, man that's going to be a loud crash when you fall from the very top ;v

SPACE HORSES

Four months later and I finally finished the Nar Shaddaa buildings: Next up is getting them into Terragen to create the cityscape. I might add some floating building like the casino from SWTOR further down the line but for now these five should suffice for my skybox needs.

The mod has now officially been released! It's been really difficult as I had to learn everything from scratch: from extracting models from KoTOR to even learn how to use Blender and 3DS max at all. But I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am not quite done with modding yet. Here's a sneak peak of what I am working on next: EDIT: I'll release this version soon, I still have to test it in game to make sure the skinning is as good as possible. Speaking of which, this mod will use Hunter Run's Flowing Cape supermodel. The cape on my mod is much broader than the one of the Revan armor model. As a consequence, there is a bit of clipping and stretching going on in certain animations. Here's an imgur gallery where I uploaded a mix of renders of animations that look kinda good and the worst ones I could fine.

I think I'll start rendering the vanilla skyboxes once they're all done and while that's in progress I will work on the third party skyboxes (which are not that many so it shouldn't take too long I hope). Then I'll see how far I got with those once the vanilla renders are all done. Actually it's been only about 2.5 years since I started with V2. Terragens v4 came out a few months earlier and while it has seen some improvements since that major release, there are no big new features or anything like that. At least none that I know of. Also, while I'm here: I'm not dead and work on those Nar Shaddaa buildings is continuing very slowly. My focus in the last months simply was on other personal projects and my masters thesis. That might/should change in a few weeks however.

No disagreements from me here. As for Kylo, I thought it was okay he was a failure being not the real threat, that was Snoke. But yeah, Rian had to screw that up and make the most ineffectual, unintimidating worst possible villain ever to be the main baddie now. Just... uuuuuuugh. The weak conflicted part makes him interesting, sure, just NOT a good villain. Which why it was good he was a lackey. But nooooooooooooooo, can't have any dang stakes apparently.

JJ is a hack. He has no original ideas he just copies what came before. I can't believe Warner Brothers offered him a half a billion dollar contract to direct DCEU movies. In Hollywood it seems you can only fail upwards. As for the movie It will definitely be a RotJ rip off. As for the ST in general. I would have preferred if the movies would have taken place 1000 years after a episode VI. Having the Sith or dark Jedi or whatever the hell Kylo is. Having them return a mere 30 years later cheapens Anakin's sacrifice. if the ST took place 1000 years later than the Sith returning would have made sense. Like Darth Bane and the Sith that followed him up until Palpatine. They waited 1000 years until Palpatine and Vader destroyed the Jedi order. I know fans wanted to see Luke, Han, and Leia again but are you really happy with the treatment Disney has given the original character? 1000 years later Luke succeeded in restoring the Jedi Order and they thrived for a millennium. Luke, Han, and Leia are regarded as heroes and saviors of the Republic. Once the Sith return Luke could return as a Force ghost to train the new protagonist. Anyway that's my idea.

I think some of those are a stretch, especially Canto Bight being Cloud City... But, for sure, there are similar moments. But whereas TFA hit the same narrative beats as ANH (in which I can fully understand the comparisons), TLJ just seemed to cherry pick random moments to throw in. I wouldn’t class it as a remake of anything, it was just a mess of random scenes.

That That last shot was the best laugh I've had watching a movie in a long time.

Actual trailer: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I thought the title was joke when I first saw it. Then I watched the trailer and found out it is a joke

I am not afraid to admit when I was wrong or being an idiot. I was wrong. I was an idiot... ... I thought they could do no worse than TLJ. So foolish of me. They sure showed me up with this teaser. This is going to be something else. Good thing all care got sucked out of me already. Do tell me how story #1, recton #1, retcon #2 is in any instance "coherent"? Me? I'll be waiting for the MauLer cut. Let's atleast be a little entertained watching our favorite franchise burn down in flames.

Query: What? Yes, you heard that right, what started as what was (probably) a joke made by @A Future Pilot on the r/kotor discord has gotten my creative juices flowing. If you're like me, you might have asked yourself at some point "HK-47 is my favorite companion in the KotOR games, so why can't I romance him?" Well, soon™️ you can! The goal of this mod is to make a believably written, slightly tongue in cheek but also emotionally sound "mini romance" option between a dark sided player character and her/his homicidal droid companion. What do I mean by "mini romance"? For now, I am going to try and keep the scope small while I learn the fundamentals of modding. I have finished a first pass at the script, and will be working on recording the voice over sometime soon to get a feel for how it all sounds when spoken. Right now, it is a total of 2 to 3 conversations, depending on whether you pass a [Repair/Computer Use] (player's preference) skill check on the first try or not. Perhaps this will expand in the future, but right now, I think it gets the job done without needless beating around the bush. This is an optional/additional romance and its not meant to rival/replace any of the vanilla options in terms of complexity. The non-spoilery gist of it is, HK has discovered that he has developed what he sees as a flaw in his programming since he's started travelling with you, that's since grown stronger with every act of cruelty you inflict upon others. The player character has the option to dismiss outright, confusedly entertain his concerns to an extent, or try their best to understand the situation, some of which open up a path to a whole new look into his "abnormality" that's formed. Basically, I'll be using this thread to update with progress and let you know how it's going. Keep in mind, this is my first ever mod and thus I have no idea how long this project will take me. I'm also attaching to this post a design document that features all of the dialogue that I've currently written for the mod, if you're interested. I would appreciate that if you'd like to mention something about it in this thread, that you properly spoiler tag it. Thank you. - UC P.S. Let me make this point for you, so that you don't have to.

Think you could make a version of this with brown robes and a red cape for K1? It would make an awesome Qel-Droma robe replacer.

You guys ever have that friend that's trying too hard and it's cringe inducing? That's the D23 trailer.
