5 pointsI've been doing some more modding to practise different areas and I have added a new Force Power to the game. It is based in the Retribution ability Anakin has in Battlefront 2 from EA. The Power doesn't check for any saving throws at the moment so it's kind of OP right now. It has a radius of 18 units and I don't know how much Force points it should consume yet. Here's a demo: As you can see, the Power has a custom animation, icon and sound. I have also modified the original choke animation to look closer to the one in Battlefront 2 when you are being affected by this Power. I also realised that we don't have a "multi" choke Power in the games since all three levels of choke are on one individual person, so this could cover that. But it has some inconveniences: · For some reason, the game uses the loop animation for the saber throw as the default cast anim, so I couldn't just make a new one and play it in the impact script because it would get overridden by this one. So this new animation replaces the saber throw loop animation. · Sometimes the enemies don't get affected if they are behind you or really far (but inside the Power radius). · For the new choke animation to play correctly, I had to change it from looping to fireforget. And that not might be ideal with the original one since it's really short. · If you move or kill the enemy you were targetting before the 9 seconds that the Power takes to cast, the animation of the player will get interrupted, just like with the vanilla Powers. Also you will not be able to attack again until the cast time expires. I will release this if someone thinks it is still worth it even with all of these little problems I mentioned. I will also include the source script in case someone is curious and wants to take a look at it. On another note, Ӄhrizby has finally contacted me and given me permission to use his Darth Nihilus animation fix. I have also managed to fix the icons so I have attached the two ports here just in case anyone wants them although I haven't been able to fix the character support problems so they don't have that. Type "giveitem darthnihilus_k1" without quotes for the Darth Nihilus robe item and "giveitem darthmalak_k2" for the Malak one. Also, I don't know what happened to Darth Malak. It's still pending approval. I assume if I did something wrong the admins would have told me or something. I wanted to release these two ports as well, but I want to solve any problems there are with Malak first, so that it won't happen again with these two. Anyway, hope you enjoy this.

3 pointsHello DeadlyStreamers! To think all it took was a pandemic and an overly long SWTOR content update to get me to announce the 2018 Mod of the Year winners. And of course, keeping in tradition with my minimum effort work ethic, here they are: Best Texture Enhancement: Best Content Restoration / Addition Most Helpful Community Member @DarthParametric and of course Mod of the Year Each winner will receive their new Mod of the Year 2018 medals. Also due to the nature of the nature of the 2018 Mod of the Year winner, I'll be awarding two versions of the medal - one black and one gold! So what's the deal with Mod of the Year 2019? I don't know yet. Due to all this COVID-19 business, sounds like I'll have more time for DeadlyStream business. I think it'd simply be a matter of choosing the categories and then starting up nominations. We'll see.

3 pointsThe custom .tga (or photo file) isn't included within the folder linked. Therefore, despite the UTC correctly linked to the correct portraits.2da row, there is no photo for the game to input, thus it resorts to the default portrait of T3-M4. Edit: nvm there is... Mmm i'm going to see what's going on here. Edit2: You need an appearancenumber. Inside portraits.2da there is a column labeled appearancenumber that needs to correspond with the appearance.2da row number of that UTC. Which should be 185. Let me test that real quick. Edit3: Now she's a white square instead of t3m4 portrait, so progress, but not quite there yet. Edit4: May be that 9 characters is too short, jolee has an additional "p" testing additional letter. Edit5: Good news, those were the 2 issues holding you back, bad news is that you need another file and the current portrait photo is too dark. Notice that in the below screenshots there is no party DS/LS appearance. Instead of re-editing that post, I'll just make another. Okay so I fixed the issue of that White Box. I'll start again from the top, because my edits are a little hard to follow. First, edit portraits.2d to include appearance number of Selven (your files have her listed as appearance.2da number 185). Second, your custom photo must have a total of 10 characters/letters. Yours only had 9, which doesn't work (idk why). Therefore, I have used po_pselven, see po_pjolee row #38 for example of proof and what lead me to try this. Third, you need to add another portrait photo, one for lightside, one for darkside. Look at photo below, see how that larger image of the character has shifted from a WHITE Blank space to the same custom photo portrait you had. Kotor 1 has it as a static image (you can change this to animated, but this is beyond my scope of modding, see realrece's tutorial). You'll have to add 2 files and label them exactly as they were but add 3 and 3e, one of them is darkside the other is lightside if i recall correctly. So I added po_pselven3.tga and po_pselven3e.tga (by copying the original file and renaming it) and got the result shown below. As a general rule of thumb try to find a mod that has installed a custom portrait and recruitable NPC then reverse engineer it, you'll want to setup a tslpatcher for this mod, which is fairly easy, otherwise having a portraits.2da can cause incompatibilities.

2 pointsIt's been quite interesting these last few weeks, eh? I hope you are all doing well. There's been progress in analyzing the NCS byte code. Graphviz has been invaluable in producing the maps necessary to visualize the program flow. At the moment, one script has been reverse engineered. By no means is a decompilier close to being ready, but it is a significant step in analyzing the program flow. At the moment, several NCS code patterns have been identified that map back to NWScript: Dead code (e.g. perfectly valid code that never gets called, and theoretically could be removed) Assignment (e.g. i = 5) Named variable declaration (e.g. int i, float f, string s, object o) initialized from constant (e.g. int i = 5, float f = 0.0, string s = "Jello, World!") initialized from engine routine (object o = GetFirstPC()) initialized from subroutine (bool b = IsItTrue()) initialized from named variable (int i = integer_i ) Selection If (GetLocalBoolean(55)) If (!GetLocalBoolean(55)) If (IsItTrue()) If (!IsItTrue() Switch (i) {case 0: break; default: break;} Attached is a control flow diagram of the script k_sup_galaxymap.ncs. Red blocks are dead code. There are three switch statements in the code. Can you find them? Expect more updates in the next few weeks!

1 pointView File [K1] Improved dialog.tlk ** Improved K1 dialog.tlk compiled by KnifeMaster, with huge contributions from Gimmick5000, Salk, Kainzorus Prime and DarthParametric ** This mod attempts to fix all known typos, subtitle mismatches, bad punctuation and other grammatical sloppiness found in the first KotOR game. I'd like to give a huge thanks to Gimmick5000 for discovering the overwhelming majority of these issues while working on his "eXtensive Dialog Overhaul" mod, and Fair Strides for his TLK>TXT tool. Gimmick's "eXtensive" project aims to replace a lot of player responses, though, while this one keeps those as is... sort of. Kainzorus Prime was kind enough to let me use his "PC Response Moderation" as the basis for this mod, which is a massive improvement over Bioware's player responses. If you're interested in Gimmick's dialog overhaul, be sure to follow it here: https://deadlystream.com/topic/7022-extensive-dialog-overhaul-beta-for-kotor-103/ Quite a few corrections were also made by Salk, DarthParametric, ebmar and myself, but unfortunately I don't have a complete list of fixes. Most of the issues are listed in Gimmick's thread, and a few more can be found here: https://github.com/KOTORCommunityPatches/K1_Community_Patch/issues/148 I'm sure there are still errors out there, but hundreds upon hundreds, if not thousands have been fixed. To install, simply replace the stock dialog.tlk file in your "swkotor" folder with this one. I highly recommend using this mod on a clean install of the game. And, of course, INSTALL THIS BEFORE any other mods that alter KotOR's dialog.tlk. It should be compatible with K1R, but you must install K1R afterwards. So, in summary: lots of typos and subtitle mismatches fixed, no more double, triple or quadruple (yes really) exclamation or question marks, dashes ( - ) used less liberally and a few awful run-on sentences have been reworked. Enjoy, and feel free to report any issues on the download page. Submitter KnifeMaster Submitted 03/12/2020 Category Mods K1R Compatible Yes

1 pointHello everyone, I am currently working on this mod for K1 where You can recruit Selven, the bounty huntress from Taris, Lower City Appartments! She is meant to replace Juhani. I have been following this great tutorial found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20121204063203/http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=131944 The mod is 99% done, but i have encountered a strange problem... Even though I made a custom photo and added it to the portraits.2da file, in the game T3-M4 appears instead of Selven! Can anyone tell me what I did wrong / what to do to fix this issue? I am attaching a copy of the mod along with a savegame here, for you to test it out and see where the problem is. Many thanks in advance! Recruit Selven Mod.rar Before Recruit Selven Savegame.zip

1 pointAnd exactly one month later, Kashyyk is finally done. If I had not decided to add some fancy shenanigans that would've taken much shorter but I like the result even though you can't really see much of the skybox. And here's the entrance to the Wookiee village that you can actually see now (that's what was taking so long to get right). And finally, the usual render of just the skybox: Not sure what I'll work on next. The only big one still missing is Dxun and then there are some other skyboxes that still need little tweaks but I'm getting very close to actually finishing the vanilla skyboxes

1 pointWonderful idea! I have some random thoughts about AI: What about party AI improvements? It's even hard to roam with them because they try to get stuck all the time. Party members seem to be not bad with offensive force powers and strikes (well, it could be better, I suppose), but they also need to learn how to use those individual buffs like force speed/force immunity and etc (activation out of combat, perhaps?). Manual activation of all these buffs in 3-jedi party is frustrating, considering their duration. At least force speed buff AI activation is a need. And HK-47 never uses his power shot (is it fixable?). I would like to see jedi guardians (enemies and Juhani) jumping back and forth (they should use their advantageous force jump). Also enemies' combat strikes should be based on their weapons - sneak attackers should be stabbing in the back with flurry all the time, tanks and low-damage opponents should go with power strike, guys with 20-20 crits and high damage should go also with flurry and etc. If an enemy has several strike feats, he should use appropriate - probably enemy check his attack vs defense of party members (not to waste power strikes on high-defense guys, and flurry strikes on toughness-guys). And of course, enemies/party members should not constantly cast debilitating force powers on already debilitated enemies - sometimes it's better to do some damage. Anyway, I don't know if all these changes are possible to implement. Still a great work - AI is ridiculous sometimes and definitely should be reworked.
