1 pointYou should set it to DEFAULT or ****, not CM_Baremetal.

1 pointMost of the combat stuff is probably hardcoded to some degree. It could be possible to edit that via the exe hacking project. Perhaps @Lane could offer some insight as to the practicality. Aside from that, you can pipe messages to the feeback window via script. If you wanted to add additional information, that might be one route, editing the AI scripts.

1 pointHello, Lane. One thing I would like to see happen, if possible at all, is to extend the numerical display for replies in dialogue files. The way it is now if you have more than 9 alternatives to choose among, the next ones have a "-" rather than the next number. It does not look good. Perhaps something can be done about it? There are not many such situations. The replies are very often limited to a number that is lower than 10, but it does happen in few cases. Example: in the Temple of the Ancient on Lehon. The file unk_comp.dlg contains an entry node with 11 replies. Cheers!

1 pointOh and one thing I'd personally love to see fixed at the engine level would be to introduce alternate start in the Pazaak mini game! That has always bothered me immensely and it's actually fixed in K2. In the original game the AI has an unfair advantage as the Player starts each new round, making it statistically more difficult to avoid the so called "bust". I have produced a small mod that aims to make the mini game better overall but the best improvement would Indeed be this, if you could pull it off.

1 pointHi again, @Lane! Yes, I strongly suspect that anything messing with timers is going to cause problems for the two different kinds of game loading processes that I was talking about. I'm not sure I would say I noticed anything particularly different between loading from autosave and loading from a quick save or from the main menu. Perhaps I was not very clear with what I was trying to say but where I did notice a difference is between loading a saved game (of any kind) the first time after running the game (running the game's exe) and loading the same saved game again. As DP suggested, I think the OnHeartbeat and possibly the OnSpawn functions are affected, meaning that they don't really happen in the same sequence in the two different scenarios. I also give you a very interesting (and possible to reproduce) situation that I investigated recently: for some reason, the game makes the headgear worn by some NPCs invisible in certain specific conditions. The outcome is somehow linked to loading the area. To reproduce this, you can take a look at the Sith Governor on Taris at the Sith Base (tar09_darkjedi001) that should be waring a neurasl amplifier mask (g_i_mask10). The area module is tar_m09ab. What makes it invisible is if you are controlling the Player PC character when you enter the module for the first time. If you are controlling the Player PC character (which is the normal thing to do) when you take the elevator to reach the second floor of the Sith Base where the Governor is or if you are using the console to warp there then the mask will be invisible UNLESS there are no other party members with you. In that case, it will show. It will also show if there are other party members and you warp there or access the area via elevator controlling one of the party members (it does not matter if it is one or ther other or if there are two party members or only one with you). Cheers!

1 pointIf it messes with timers, then I imagine anything related to OnHeartbeat events for placeables/modules/user defines would experience the sort of issues described.

1 pointHi @Salk I know what your talking about! The load behavior of a main menu load, a hard load (load game menu in game), an autosave load, and a quick load all have subtle but important differences. This has actually come up in the speedrun world a few times. For example, the effect duration glitch (in which they last a long time) only happens if you have previously loaded a hard save in this session (as that messes up the global timers). There's a variety of other small differences, between these functions; most of which I haven't dug too deeply into. But I'm unsurprised you've run into this before. If you could provide an example of a specific script related issue that performs differently for different loads (to use as a reference point), I'd be happy to mount a bit of an investigation into it when I get the time. As mentioned above, it's a busy time of year so this may be backlogged a bit. I'd also be happy to field any other questions! Thanks, Lane

================================ KNIGHTS OF THE REPUBLIC II Mod ================================ Title: K1 Heads Port Version: 1.0.1 Author: Ferc Kast Contact: PM me on DeadlyStream *********** DESCRIPTION *********** This mod ports the original player heads from KOTOR I for use as playable heads in KOTOR II. To use reskins for these heads, follow these steps: 1) Move the relevant head and / or portrait tpcs out of your override folder. 2) After extracting the textures from the reskin mod, prefix the head texture filenames with "K1_" or "k1_" (without the quotes). 3) Copy the textures into your override folder. ************ INSTALLATION ************ Unzip the file. Run TSLPatcher, and point the installer to your KOTOR II installation folder. If you are using the Steam copy of TSLRCM, point it to the folder where it is installed. ************** UNINSTALLATION ************** Copy the 2das from the backup folder into the Override folder. Remove the following files from the Override folder: - k1_pfha01.mdl - k1_pfha01.mdx - k1_pfha01.tpc - k1_pfha01d.tpc - k1_pfha01d1.tpc - k1_pfha01d2.tpc - k1_pfha01d3.tpc - k1_pfha02.mdl - k1_pfha02.mdx -

1 pointAs a starting point, I would recommend Holocron Toolset: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1982-holocron-toolset/ to get an idea of how the modules are set up and to be able to view models + areas of the game. This is incredibly useful for seeing how placeables, cameras, models, scripts, creatures are laid out. This can be used to pull assets out of the game for modification. You can also use KOTOR Tool: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/280-kotor-tool/ to pull the same game resources out for modification. If you're looking to modify the particle effects of the game models, you can't go wrong with MDLEdit: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1150-mdledit/ . This converts game models MDL+MDX into readable ASCII and back into MDL after you save the changes to the ASCII file. It really comes down to what the goal of your first mod is. If you're looking into making changes to scripts, that definitely is not my area of expertise. It would be helpful if you share a specific goal for your first mod idea, or at least an idea of something you'd like to achieve.

Around a decade past the original demo, and Revenge of Revan: Episode 1 is here! It was exciting to play this on stream. But how good is it? Well... I feel like this mod's original assets are absolutely stellar! The villains look really cool, and having your species actually affect some dialogue options was a good laugh. It's a super awesome mechanical feat that I didn't know was possible in KotOR. (I got called a worm-headed skank! 😨 Made me cackle.) The original music is also shockingly beautiful, I wish I could have them in my own Star Wars vibes playlist! It was that good. But... I wasn't a fan of how linear this felt. Every area had a bunch of stuff where it felt like "oh clearly I can come back here later" and I never did. Quests didn't even really update to accommodate for that to tell me where I should be going, but I knew where I should be anyway because there were no side areas anywhere. It was impossible to get lost, and for some reason I wasn't a fan of that. It felt a lot more restrictive than Kotor 2, or even Kotor 1. And that linear-ness wasn't helped very much by the amount of completely reused areas. Every module from Dxun is reused, minus the thunder and rain. There were a couple of neat set pieces that helped, like the end of the Jungle, but for the most part it felt like literally retreading old ground. Many aliens and props were also reused, and I struggle to find a concrete reason why some were there. The Market area of Onderon is the biggest offender, as there's so much stuff packed into that module that it felt really awkward and not very unified. I feel like a lot of the details could have been separated into other modules. Some retextures are desperately needed, I think, along with some of the aliens or creatures to make them fit more into a solid Corellian lore. There's also a big dialogue gripe that kept ticking me off. I get that you're only supposed to be a Padawan, but more often than not, it felt like you were punished by choosing skill-related options. You would get chided by your two companions for making an observation that they thought was obvious, or just plain wrong. It felt like you were called stupid for USING skills or stats that you put points into, rather than being rewarded with unique dialogue or rewards for it. (And I certainly felt stupid for putting points into any skills, because I never needed any of them.) It also felt like there were way too many options that should have just been a regular answer, rather than something smart or "aware" for you to say. Skill options should be few, but should have some sort of significant impact on the dialogue, like skipping a big chunk of explanation, or actually changing someone's mind. This isn't even mentioning that all of the actually important characters have no audio, something you'd think would be prioritized over some random guard with an AI Tiktok voice. My main complaint with the mod though is this: What does this story have to do with Revan OR the Exile? I get that this is only Episode 1 and Revan obviously isn't going to be seen now, but all the time I was just thinking "what does any of this have to do with Revan?" NPCs seem to just bring him up for seemingly no reason. Yes he's the Prodigal Knight, yes he conquered the Republic, yes nobody knows where he is, yes he should atone for some crimes, but Revan has nothing to do with these new Sith or the politics of Corellia, and we know this. Any mention of him just feels really artificial, and the Exile is treated even worse. The Exile is such an afterthought that Bao-Dur has to think about who you're talking about when you ask. And the weird part is, it would make more sense if it was ONLY the Exile's companions that knew of the Exile, and continued their legacy. If nobody else knew about the Exile, it'd be far more interesting if someone like Bao-Dur was the one to tell you about this person like they're this mythical deity of the Force, someone who learned to live without it, and came back to impart knowledge that would forever change the Force. It's just odd to see, especially since this mod is based on KotOR 2, the only game that has the Exile, and the game that characterized Revan way beyond the barebones depiction in the first game. I'll probably still play the next episode, but like... it just felt like nothing I did mattered. There was always a specific way to play, and a specific way my character was treated. It was a little frustrating. 5/10. -
0 pointsShe's probably going to release them at some point. I assume, from an artists perspective, that she probably sees "flaws" in her work that we non-artists don't see and she simply won't release something unless she knows for sure that it's as good as it can possibly be.
