I know it's been quite a while since I made any announcements on this project. 2019 was a very busy year for me. Even so, I was still able to work on the code a bit, and pushed code updates to the GitHub repo every so often. 2020 is still looking to be just as crazy if not more. I'm hoping to be able to post more updates on my progress. I've compiled an alpha build for anyone to test out. It can be downloaded from the release page of the GitHub project here: https://github.com/KobaltBlu/KotOR.js/releases/tag/v0.0.1 Download and unzip the contents somewhere. KotOR-js.exe is the main executable. When you run either game or the toolset for the first time, it will ask you to locate the game directory for the original games first. After that you should be good to go. It is an alpha so expect some things to be broken and or act weird. Compatibility Note: This is a 64bit build. I also believe it only supports win7 and up. I'm always eager to hear any and all feedback! This project continues to be a lot of fun to work on, and it's always forcing me to push the boundaries of what I know about coding and game design. If I can say something of encouragement to the new modders or coders that may be out there browsing these forums. It would be to chase that crazy idea and push yourself to try. When you spend hours and hours writing code or creating a mod, that feeling of seeing your hard work finally bear fruit is amazing. I can't count how many times i've seen modders discouraged from attempting projects because other people think they are biting off more than they can chew. I know that if I would have announced this project when I was just beginning, I fear I would have received similar remarks from some. The thing is that you very well might be over your head, and thats ok! Failure doesn't have to be the end of the road, it can be a stepping stone to better things if you learn something along the way and apply it the next go around. At least that's how I see it 😅. Anyways I apologize for rambling on, I'll sign off for now!

ICYMI: Echoes of the Past - out now!

When you post error report for KotOR1 now and in the future, you might want to start it off answering the following questions. 1) During the game, when did the problem begin to occur? 2) Did you install the latest version of the mod (if using K1R or K1CP)? 3) What version of the game do you have? (Steam, GOG, 4CD, KotOR Collection?) 4) What region is the game designed for if it's the 4 CD version? 5) Did you update your game as required by your game's region? (4-CD version ONLY) 6) Did you use the TSLPatcher for your mods, if provided? 7) Were there any errors in the TSLPatcher installation? 8} What other mods have you installed? Please give an accurate list and provide links to each of these mods - even if they are found on this site. (We don't actually know them all!.) 9) Can you be more specific about the error? At what point did it happen? 10) Have you tried re-downloading the mod? 11) Have you tried using a different save game? 12) Have you tried starting a new game? 13) What Operating System do you use? (List Virtual Machines as well if you are using them.) All of that being said, check this thread on Reddit to see if it may prove relevant.

Big thanks Effix! it's looking great, I really appreciate it

I might check it out again when development is a tad further along.

Hey everyone, As per usual, I've failed to keep this blog updated. Truth be told, I don't have much enthusiasm for it as it doesn't seem to garner much traction and I much prefer to post regular updates over on the "Community" section of my YouTube channel. At any rate, Echoes of the Past is done, and will be premiering live on YouTube this Saturday (20th June) at 10pm BST/5pm EST/2pm PT/4pm CT/3pm MT. You can watch the livestream here if you are interested, I hope to see some of you there! I also now have a Discord server for my films, @Sith Holocronand @Mellowtron11 are already members of it so please feel free to join. This may be my last blog post (at least for a while) as I much prefer posting announcements in the server and interacting with people over there. Really excited to see this film go out, I've worked really hard on it and I think (hope?) you'll like it, too. Hope everyone is taking care in the current climate! ~ DV

Me: *Loads Kotor Tool* *Kotor Tool's script compiling feature suddenly works* Me: *But now I can't edit any uti files* Me:

I am not 100% sure I will include the RoR heads with the project yet but I was thinking of both including it as an optional package and releasing it as a separate mod so that people can use the heads and races from RoR in regular K2 but I will see how it goes when I get around to it. In the meantime here are some story and design documents if anyone wishes to take a look, in truth it is a mess at the moment. A lot of different text documents and some images of stuff i've written on paper. It's not very well presented basically, there are also various design images possibly conflicting ideas who knows. I need to take the time to go through it and assess it's worth, I think it's all awful at the moment as I haven't properly gone through it. Story On Paper.7z Design Documents.7z Design Images.7z Below is an updated list of all mods that are included with the Expanded Galaxy Project by Author and then by order of when they were added to the project.

Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic II : The Sith Lords : The Expanded Galaxy Project The Expanded Galaxy Project aims to combine both games into one installation utilizing the second games engine and allowing the player to select whether to choose the first, or the second game, as well as the bonus option of Brotherhood of Shadow : Solomon's Revenge, an excellent mod for the first game which I have also ported over to the second game. All three parts of the project now have an installer! Which handles everything. The project is still very much a work in progress, I suggest just trying out the main project for most users as the port and brotherhood are likely to have a lot more bugs! Brotherhood Of Shadow : Solomon's Revenge! This is a short trailer for the KotOR Port, a part of the Expanded Galaxy Project, the trailer was made for me by CatDaddy407, so a big thanks to them for that! I thought I would drop a link to the video here for people to see, though it doesn't show anything special, but it does highlight the state of the project quite well. NOTE : The port is currently not available on DeadlyStream and is only available on ModDB or from the GitHub repository. NOTE : The port is an add-on for the Expanded Galaxy Project. Expanded Galaxy Project The goal of the Expanded Galaxy Project is to provide as much additional content for both games as possible utilising the second games engine. Please join the Discord to find out more about the project and to get access to the latest patches. ( Link at the bottom of this post ) Install Instructions Progress & Plans Current progress for the Expanded Galaxy Project overall is as follows : 1 : Expanded Galaxy Project : Main : Demo (Complete) <-- 100% --> The base of the project is complete. ( Early Demo ) 2 : Expanded Galaxy Project : Port : Demo (Complete) <-- 100% --> The base of the port is complete. 3 : Expanded Galaxy Project : Brotherhood Of Shadow : Solomon's Revenge : Demo (Complete) <--- 100% ---> Brotherhood Of Shadow : Solomon's Revenge has been ported in it's entirety and seems to work almost flawlessly. ( Early Demo ) There is still a lot left to be done, much of which is not documented anywhere currently. Mod Compatibility Overall I have heard that people generally have success installing other mods alongside this but not always or entirely, there are also still many issues remaining in the project on it's own. Currently I do not know what mods do or do not work with my project but I do plan to try and provide compatibility for as many mods as possible in the future. Note : texture, model, item and many other simple mods should work if installed after the rest of the required or optional files for the project.
