Like I previously stated, I'm not the biggest fan of the robes from SWTOR, and now that I'm more aware of how models work in-game, I realize just how stupid I was for mentioning that. I do agree, Corran definitely has style, but that's mostly because I'm biased as hell and he's one of my favorite characters. I might try and give this a go myself, although I feel I'll need to brush up on how the textures fold on the models. I'll probably just use JC's skeleton since I have the most experience with that. As for general appearance, using the Matukai robes as a placeholder/proxy is actually a decent idea in vanilla, although I've always figured the Corellian Temple at the latest predates the Exar Kun war, so using them as a precursor is a tad flawed. However, considering the monstrosities that TOR gives us, something a tad more... distinctive might be warranted. I've already determined the RGB values I plan on using for main cloak, (20, 85, 3) which I will refer to as Ottegan Green going forward. I'm not the biggest fan of the mustard yellow used in the TOR robes, but a nice metallic gold would go quite well with them aesthetically, although that would also mean editing appearance.2da. As for stats, I've always personally felt that Jedi robes were a tad underpowered in K1, so I'm considering how to balance these robes stat-wise. I feel that a skill bonus of some kind, or perhaps a bonus feat (One of the blaster pistol feats, in all probability, or tiered Gearhead) would go well with them, especially since the Corellian Jedi worked closely with CorSec, and would therefore likely have more "worldly" skills. Maybe throw a repair bonus too, because fixing HK is a hassle if you aren't the right class. At this point, I'm keeping it on the conceptual level. I do actually have some experience with textures, but not that much. If you've got ideas for how to allocate stats, let me know. Also, I maaaaay have recolored Effixian's Prototype Knight Breastplate and tweaked the stats for personal use along some of these lines.

BTW you can contact Steam through the Help menu item -> Steam support, just ask them what's up.

Yes, try that. Also, you may need to wait. During my testing a few days ago I uploaded the VDF, but it failed because I deliberately didn't put any content in. Today, I logged into https://steamcommunity.com and saw a workshop item for the first time! So, even if it fails, if you get a PublishFileId (which I got despite the failure) then you have an item in the Workshop! You will find your mod at "Workshop Items" to the bottom-right. The direct link is https://steamcommunity.com/id/<custom_id>/myworkshopfiles/, where <custom_id> is your custom URL ID. Custom URL IDs are set in the "Edit Profile" section. The direct link to your mod should be at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2075761409

@JediArchivist I don't believe there is moderation unless people complain about ToS violations. Setting "visibility" to "0" makes it visible to everyone. It's also a different field than the one you see in your screenshot. Yes, there are two visibility properties. Very weird. If you need to activate Steam Guard you will get an email with a Steam Guard code automatically. Various theories range from having to accept EULAs in the Steam website, to having to put $5 into your Steam Account (Steam says this limits fake mods).

This version now has updated audio files to make it more compatible with Steam. Apart from that, there's no change to the one that's been on the-jedi-masters.com for a few years now. This is the the fully voiced and voice acted one though. If you've only played the older one with computer generated lines, there's much more content.

I imagine she couldn't cook... all she know is McDonald’s , charge her phone, twerk, be bisexual , eat hot chip & lie. Pretty sure this is canon.

Yes, I forgot for the first eight hours or so which in game time must've been a few days. Revan did not rely on the Force to rescue Bastila and get off Taris. I do remember the underwater portion of Manaan and the Firacis shark. Oh he was definitely in the war of Exar Kun. He was either in his early 20's or even in his late teens like most warrior cultures. There are other characters that definitely fought in that war like Jolee, Kreia, Vrook, Dorak, and it is said Darth SIon is from that time. Well I like Darth Sion too. He and Darth Malak are similar in a way. Both prefer to use brute strength, and both have depth. In the final confronttion with Sion on Malachor he himself says he prefers Darth Malak over Revan. I agree Revan seemed to be the headstrong one of the two. It could be because like Exar Kun before him, he had a thirst for forbidden knowledge according to Dorak. Yeah I can see the Exile writing tell all book called 'Revan the man behind the mask.' As for fans who bash K1 and prefer K2. THey forget if it wasn't for the popularity of K1 there wouldn't be a K2, and I believe since K2 never attained the universal claim that K1 did, that is why LucasArts never produced a third game.

This is true. Some people take that as a sign that Malak was simply incompetent, or something, without understanding what was really said. I do too. The difference is subtle yet profound. They give Revan all this credit and glorify him, yet they don't realize that Revan had accomplished some degree of what the Exile is known for. Mastering something outside the Force. Revan became adept at strategy and warfare. And there was some 7, 8, 9 levels on Taris with no reliance on the Force at all? Something like that cannot be simply programmed into someone's mind. The Exile is still unique by knowingly and willingly turning away from the Force, but I find it odd that with all of the glorifying of Revan there is no mention of what he accomplished outside the Force. Then there was that underwater adventure on Manaan. No Force, no skills, just reaction time and thinking without reliance on anyone or anything else. We don't get something like that in K2. People who think K1 is too much a trope or doesn't challenge concepts like K2 forget how Manaan turns everything upside down. Yeah, Revan was retconned beginning with K2 and changed into someone having visions and relying entirely on the Force by SWOTOR lore. Canderous isn't always completely clear in K1, but it's kind of a given that he was referring to the Exar Kun war where the Mandalorians were first brought into contact with the Jedi. So by the time of Mandalore Ultimate, they had experienced battle with Jedi and expected Kavar. Canderous did say that he had been fighting for 40 years or so, so he must of been a fresh kid on the battle field in the Exar Kun War. That was pretty funny. HK said it was extreme lengths of frustration. I get the impression that Malak was more a of level headed sort, but serious, so something like that would have aggravated him. I think the character of Malak in this scene tends to be ignored because it wasn't presented in rich dialogue directly at the player. So Malak and K1 gets dismissed as bland and tropish. I don't know how many times I've seen Malak described as bland, 1 dimensional villain, and Sion is so much better. Not that Sion is bad, he's been presented in dialogue which tends to be noticed by most players it seems. This scene gave a lot of depth to Malak and it is one of my favorite in the game because of that, because we get to see what Malak was like before and what character he had. Definitely serious, thoughtful, didn't do anything rashly. Revan was probably more forward, more of a hothead... Revan was described as headstrong and willful by one of the Jedi on the Council. I think Zhar. It's interesting how much can be conveyed in those cut-scenes. How attached to Dantooine Kreia must really be but never lets on. And the presentation of Malak that gets so overlooked. Maybe the Exile could have been writing anonymously for a gossip rag like National Enquirer of what Revan and Malak were really like behind the scenes and what they wer like as obnoxious padawans.

All I meant was that even in the original they put Revan above Malak. But both were considered big losses to the order. That many of the Council still wondered if they had made the right decision in meditating instead of fighting. But like I said before I am a Malak fan and agree with everything you say about him. It's just in history he will always be considered the lesser of the two for his lack of finesse. I mean in K2 which takes place five years after K1, Revan not Malak is remembered fondly, even if you set him as a darksider. I mean Briana says that Revan was revered by her people even while he slaughtered them in the thousands. I mean according to the galaxy Revan could do no wrong. That's why I prefer K1 Revan over K2 Revan. In K1 he was shown in a not so perfect light. But after K2 I wonder if the whole thing was not planned by him. Especially if playing darkside. But like I said before in my mod Malak will be remembered if playing the lightside. About Exar Kun and Uiic Qel Droma. I think you misunderstood what I wrote. I did not say they were known as good tacticians by the Mandalorians. I said that both Master Kavar and the Exile were known as good tacticians by the Mandalorians. When you first meet Kavar on Onderon with Mandalore. Mandalore respects him and says he always thought that it would have been Kavar and not Revan who led the Republic. But then again there is some inconsistency in the lore. Cause either in K1 or K2 Canderous says that before the war the Mandalorians had never seen Jedi in battle. As for the Exile either Mandalore or one of his men refer to him as a good tactician during the war. About HK-47. HK himself says when he regains his full memory that Malak was the first organic he ever called meatbag. He says it made Malak furious and that Revan made it apart of his programming. I agree Malak was smart in the vision Revan and Bastila have when they first land on Dantooine. It seemed like Malak was the cautious one of the two, and warned Revan if they entered the ruins they can never go back to the Council. And yes, he did unlock the full power of the Star Forge. Although I seem to remember Master Dorak saying that after the Mandalorian wars both Revan and Malak disappeared. Then they returned at the head of a massive invasion fleet. The ships were of an alien design they had never seen before. So maybe both unlocked the power of the Star Forge. But maybe since the Star Forge drain the Force out of Force users. Maybe Revan uncovered this and only created as many ships as necessary for a one time deal. Yes, there are many scenes in both games that are great, and yes I noticed that part in the scene.

I don't think they did in K1. All humor aside, it was emphasized that Malak was dangerous and was growing stronger. He was a real threat to the Republic. Before the days of Palpatine, I consider Darth Malak to be the most successful Sith Lord because he came so close to conquering the Republic. Master Dorak commented that Malak wasn't the strategic genius that Revan was. Master Zhar said that of the two Malak was the follower. None of this means that Malak was stupid. Malkak was smart and competent enough to command Admrial Karath's allegiance, Admiral Karath lending his strategic know how to the Sith Fleet as Admiral Thrawn did for Palpatine. No one has ever criticized Palpatine for not being a genius at strategy. As for Ulic Qel Droma and Exar Kun being masters of strategy, that's debatable. Ulic insisted on doing his own thing against Exar's warnings., and Exar himself was rather unstable. One might cite the destruction of Taris as a sign of Malak's stupidity, or lack of finesse, but was it really a strategic blunder? In the face of what Malak was dealing with at the time, it was a matter of expedition. A necessary sacrifice. As for the infamous destruction of Telos, even K2 says that it was Revan who initially wanted Telos destroyed because that was where the Jedi were going to hide. There was the humor of HK-47 first calling Malak a meatbag, but HK admitted that he rather liked Malak because Malak was brutal and efficient. Malak was the one who learned of the real powers of the Star Forge. He calls you stupid for seeing the Star Forge as only a means of producing more ships. And think of the groundwork Malak had laid in turning most of the fleet against Revan so when the opportunity came to betray Revan, Malak effortlessly stepped in and executed it. That was a stroke of genius. I see my dark side Revan, in that final duel, telling Malak that he was impressed with how Malak had accomplished that. Bastila warns you, not in so many words but in effect, to not be too confident or cocky about facing Malak. About that scene in K2 where Kreia confronts the Jedi Masters, if you are playing a female Exile, she tells the Jedi that "You will not harm her." That was awesome. Yeah, that was a good scene. Another part that really stood out to me was when Kreia first walks in, and touches the tree planter before she sits down. In that simple gesture all the weight and weariness she is carrying and what Dantooine really meant for her comes through. It makes her so human.

Yeah that question that Atton asks Kreia always bugged me. I mean the Exile fought all the droids on Peragus II, and held his own against Sith assassins. While Atton was comfortable on the administration level. Even T3 did more than him. I just thought someone could answer me that question. As for when Kreia says the Exile cut himself off from the Force out of fear. I can't recall that. But when I eventually replay the game when I get to the Exile portion of my mod I will check it out. I need to look up a transcript of all of Kreia's dialogue in the game so I can set the tone for Revan. I want Revan to be like Kreia/Palpatine. Since Kreia says the Mandalorians taught Revan and Malak how to be ruthless in war, and I always saw Revan as the manipulator and Malak the muscle.

The part about a Jedi being vulnerable without the Force. That's what I assume Kreia meant when Atton asks her he always thought Jedi were supposed to be tough. I assume he the Exile at that time looked weak. The way Kreia describes it sounds traumatic. I mean look at Ulic Qel Droma in the comics. When he was stripped it looked painful. Afterwards he thought he would never be of any use to anyone again without the Force. That's part of the reason why he exiled himself aside from reflecting on his war crimes. It's like Darth Sion says the Exile is a broken Jedi. He also says that the Force is a blade and without it one is defenseless. This is what he tells the Exile on Malachor during their final confrontation. According to Atton even with the Force Jedi are not impossible to be killed by non Jedi. One just has to be smart about it. I always thought that after the Exile had set off the mass shadow reactor on Malachor he was then instantly cut off from the Force? Because he had done such a horrendous act it is like Atris said he had lost himself. That's what I always believed had happened. He then viewed that as punishment and exiled himself. Like when Ulic killed his brother Cay and Nomi stripped him of the Force. A volunteer medic that's another good idea.
