Hello friends,
I am currently developing a patch for K2 that extends the active Party from 3 to 5.
I've got a lot of it worked out:
Adding to party from party select screen
Combat, Skill Usage, Quest Reward Experience Propagates to 4th and 5th slots
Buffs/Debuffs can be added to 4th and 5th slots. The icons display.
Autolevel up will autolevelup 4th and 5th slot members.
Most movement related bugs are sorted, still some quirks with pathfinding and spawn location to sort out
GUI has been fixed to show 4th and 5th slots.
4/5th slots can react to conversations, start dialogue, gain/lose influence.
Things still needed:
5th slot doesn't show level up icon. (Shouldn't be a difficult fix)
Scripts that hard code iterating through the party with 3. These will all have to be changed.
In menu portraits don't show, researching fixes for this.
Coming to a KOTOR Patch Manager Near You, some day, don't ask. I'm working on it.
