Remember the days when the Status Update section wasn't dominated by one person?

Just out of the oven, freshly baked.

Latest progress on cloaked party clothing robes: It's not readily apparent, but in addition to the cloak I upscaled her clothing texture and fixed some minor errors.

Some more robe progress: There are ten texture variants for the K2 version. Half are done, and the other half is on the way. I've finished the basic recreation of them all, but that was only the first step. A lot of them need additional fine-tuning. For example, the Dark Jedi Knight robe was misaligned; part of the robe was shifted up a few pixels, compared to the other variants. I also thought the cloaks on a few textures looked washed out, so I fiddled with the levels to give them better contrast. But the biggest changes I've had to make were for Jolee's robe because the original just did not look like Jolee at all. Fortunately, the rest don't have to be replaced almost from scratch like that one. Jolee's robe is the only unique robe that uses that model rather than the master robe model. Just little changes - the fine tuning - are needed for the final five textures. The only thing slowing me down is my motivation. That's the sort of thing I can spend forever fussing over, and in fact I'm still not totally happy with the Jolee texture and might go back to it later. Anyway, the K2 version is coming... eventually.

I haven't been doing much modding over the last couple weeks because I've been working on this instead: It's a fully-functional user-defined language for Notepad++. It has syntax highlighting and auto-completion based on all the terms found in nwscript.nss. I've done all my coding over the last ten years with Notepad - the regular one - with none of these features, so I think it's pretty cool to have now. (The code I typed is garbage, though. I was just putting stuff down to show a few of the features and I forgot to assign the command to an object.)

Trying out something new: Still need to fill in the back after I chopped off all the head and neck parts of the original, plus add a shadowcaster mesh and fiddle with envmaps (ugh).

Excited to announce that I just got accepted to grad school! Not bad for a guy who almost flunked out of college 3 years ago. It's really humbling; I'm truly grateful.

Well N-DReW25 knows how to port NPCs between games, all without the need of creating a help thread.

Words do not describe how excited and elated I am to have finally released one of my big projects. Thank you so much to everyone involved for helping make this a reality. Onto the next one!

Big guns: I had to do an update for my Harbinger Hull Fixes mod. While I was at it, I figured I should probably address something that has always bothered me. So I hacked up the Harbinger's exterior model, made some new gun meshes, and plonked it on top of the bridge. And since the bridge is just a reskin of the Endar Spire's bridge, it will also slot straight into K1. I think I might add some actual mesh frames to the glass as well, give those dirt stains something to actually accumulate around. One drawback is that the guns now almost completely block the docking collar which I added previously. Oh well.

Mod idea.

To all my friends that I have made over the years on this site, I cannot begin to tell you how much your friendship has meant to me. Unfortunately, my activity on Deadly Stream will be ceasing to a halt (aside from the occasional download) due to having orders from the United States Navy. OCS here I come!

Excited to announce that non other than the man of a thousand voices himself @UnusualCharacters will now be playing Zekk Vorrn in the The Prodigal Knight!

Sneaky Peeky Two

Things are getting pretty weird around here. BTW, if you have saves for M4-78 EP, I'd like to have them. Please note whether you used version 1.2, 1.3 (Steam), or 1.5. Also list which mods you used as well (with links). Finally, did you have a LS or DS gameplay-through. Thanks. I'd post this in the Game Saves section but let's be honest, - most people don't check that section.

Canderous demonstrating an advanced Mandalorian stretching technique.

Step 1: Certificate of Occupancy acquired. Step 2: House purchased. Steps 3 and 4 remain to be completed.

Sneak peak of the current testing process

One of my biggest pet peeves as a modder is getting reports of bugs that could be solved if the user actually read through the Read Me file of my mod.

For the first time in over half a decade, the original "Canderis" account has been returned to me! Add me on Old School Runescape if any y'all play haha

Question: Does it make sense to leave reviews on mods when you can't use them (i.e. you don't have a non Xbox version of the game)?

Happy holidays! My girl made me a little SW tree

Sneaky peeky 🙂

When Robert Pattinson was announced as Batman, I had my doubts (but after the controversy surrounding Heath Ledger's casting as The Joker for TDK and how wrong everyone turned out to be I decided to wait and see), but god damn this looks excellent so far:

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

I have zero motivation to do any of my coursework online.

Jolee and Juhani done (barring possible future tweaks). Still Bastila's to go. I also should try a few different brown variations for compatibility with the 100% Brown option of the main cloaked robes mod, but I'm not sure what to do with those yet, might save it for a future update.

Juhani Appearance Overhaul - coming soon to your Override folders.

Will have me-self my first ever SW movies marathon. May the Force be with You all!

I'm waiting for this policy change to turn out to be some elaborate scheme to round up all the porters and ban them.

T3 & Tachy

My copy of "BioWare - Stories and Secrets from 25 Years of Game Development" arrived today, and the first section I went to was the making of KotOR (Naturally), and I was surprised to see a page about Sleheyron, including the internal design notes for the planet. Not sure if this is going to be help to anyone, or even this is already known, but still... nice to see something new about the planet. PS. Sorry for the pictures, No scanner atm, and had to go with my phone.

Sneaky Peaky Three

Release soon, 2 years after starting the project. In fairness, the original mod is from 12 years ago so I'd say I've made progress.

I wanted to say a big thank you to all of the Mod Authors that have let me include their Mods in the Expanded Galaxy Project. While continuuing to work on the Port and the main Project I will continue looking for decent mods / fixes for the second game to include. Also still looking for testers, suggestions and modders to get involved with the project, if you would like your mod included or would like to get involved then please message me on here or on Discord.

Ran into some cut kreia content on youtube.

Juhani's been hitting the gym.

Help IGN realize that Lego Star Wars is not the best Star Wars game by voting in this poll.

Wow, Improved Grenades mod has 3.7k downloads on deadlystream... It's a nice mod, just didn't expect it to by the most popular mod. The second most downloaded mod I made is Revenge on the Sith Lady, this perplexes me and amuses me.

Remember Shem from FileFront and LucasForums? You ought to read his personal thoughts about KotOR on Reddit. (KotOR1 spoilers throughout.)

Experience a Legacy, coming soon!

“The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23:1-6‬ I love you, Grandma

Latest robe progress: This is my replacement for the Ossus Keeper robes. Used Atris and Jocasta Nu for reference because they're librarian robes. I might take a second look and tweak some things later, but for now I'm moving on to the Norris robe. Also, I'm looking for input here regarding the remaining texture variants. There's some weird stuff going on with the original designs.

I've essentially recreated one of my very first mods.

Disney is working very hard to produce new material for @Hassat Hunter to complain about:

Someone on /r/gamedev posted this with the caption "UV Mapping Explained", which seems appropriate: https://i.imgur.com/1sq2TnN.gifv

Jolee's body is ready.
