  1. You know, part of me wonders how K1 ported into TSL would work (any technical issues or limitations aside). Main reason I think about this is just because of how TSL handles things better than 1, such as upgrading items, datapad pop-ups and the ability to swap weapon sets. Another pro I could imagine would be better widescreen support, considering TSL is less of a hassle to work with compared to K1.

    1. L0ki194

      L0ki194

      Theoretically speaking, perhaps one way of accomplishing said idea would be something akin to that of Fallout New Vegas' Tale of Two Wastelands mod. An example of how the player could start K1's story would be having a new prompt during the prologue that sends the player instead to the Endar Spire (or, if you want to skip ahead just have the player wake up in the Taris Apartment, or even further ahead to the Dantooine enclave.)

      Again, these are just ideas, I'm not here stating that I'm starting a conversion project or something. Just think the idea would be really cool, because TSL brought a lot of improvements that I wish could be carried back to K1 in some way (like how upgrades, datapads having a pop-up, and how the game handles higher resolutions better than K1).

  2. At some point in the near (and I mean near) future, I'll be putting out a mod that changes a few things regarding the Exile's clothing in TSL, cause those random commoner clothes aren't cutting it. Soon

      Good luck! And "soon" is such a subjective term ^^

      Haha, yeah, it really is. Really though, I just need to organize files and get some proper screenshots to show the mod off.

  3. Time sure flies... I have a good handful of mod ideas I've messed with over a good year or two by now, but it's been very spread out. One day I'll get something out of my WIP folder and into the wild.

      Anything near completion?

      @Sith Holocron It's a bit of a mixed bag. Some are near finished, just need UTI and Icon adjustments, others I still need to begin. For now, I've set up a "roadmap" for myself, so I can focus on one thing at a time.

      The closest mod I have to completion is a mod for TSL that alters the Exile's appearance rows, allowing them their own model for clothing, similar to how Party Members have their own model. Comes with Light/Dark Side texture swapping as well. Additionally, it replaces the Exile's armband on the Harbinger with their own custom clothes item, which can be upgraded. That will be the first out of the gate.

      I like the exile's clothing idea! Looking forward to its release!

  4. Pausing mid-animation can yield some... interesting results.

  5. Haven't signed in since just before the new site update, though I did see when it changed. Looks good. Hopefully after I'm done with some IRL stuff in a couple of weeks, I can get back to mod-related stuff, especially since I finally got a new PC running a GTX 750 (which had some issues at first, but at least now I'm off my old Intel HD rig).

  6. Just curious, but what are people's general opinion on the Jal Shey armors? I notice those get replaced a lot. (I say as I have 2 different replacer mods in progress :/)

      Thanks for the replies, I was always a bit curious to see people's opinions on those robes.

    3. Mellowtron11

      Mellowtron11

      Having played male Exiles, the chest armor portion of those armors look great, but the legs and midsection look very.... tight, like Mephiles550 said. But the fact that they're upgradeable and have a good defense bonus is very nice.

    4. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      No doubt that some of the higher armors are the best in the game due to their upgradability and lack of force restrictions, but they're too ugly for me to want them.

  7. Guess it's a good idea I decided to start organizing the mods I've downloaded. Sorting by a "Mod Author's Mod Name Ver#" format, so I can keep track of whose mods are what better.

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      It speeds things up considerably!

    2. L0ki194

      L0ki194

      Indeed! Don't know why it took me till now to sort it this way (although almost every year I tend to mess with how I categorize and sort the mods I've downloaded.)

  8. Updated the last post in my WIP thread with some new screens on that Star Forge robes pack I've been working on. http://deadlystream.com/forum/topic/2666-wip-l0ki194s-development-shack/page-3?do=findComment&comment=57064

      I like the maroon colored robe the best!

    2. L0ki194

      L0ki194

      Agreed. It's actually my favorite one so far. Another robe color I want to try is a sort of washed out green color for the hood/cloak.

  9. It took me a while, but I feel the pay-off was worth it. Now, onto the others... https://i.imgur.com/ZQTW2xg.jpg

  10. Just for the fun of it, I'm gonna go through TSL's Head files sometime and compare them to heads from K1 to see what Obsidian altered.

    1. L0ki194

      L0ki194

      I forgot to add, I'll be checking them via the Textures themselves...

      I'm aware of this chart. I was just meaning other NPC heads as well.

  11. Updated the last post in my general WIP thread with some new skins for Revan's/Star Forge Robes. Feel free to leave any feedback you might have. http://deadlystream.com/forum/topic/2666-wip-l0ki194s-development-shack/?p=56448

  12. I annoy the crap out of myself sometimes... So far I've restarted the template PSD file twice for some skins I'm working on. All because I end up finding something new to tweak with it, and now I have to redo all the variants I made again. Ah well, it'll look better in the end, I suppose.

    1. DarthTyren

      DarthTyren

      That's why I make as many adjustments as I can in layers.

  13. Trying to create an alpha layer so I can get a slight shine effect for the star forge robes using photoshop, but I'm having difficulty. Anybody who uses photoshop have any advice?

      Getting there. I might have to keep messing with it, however.

      Eyyy, I got it. Had to invert the color, then adjust the brightness. Now to get back to work. https://i.imgur.com/vvGZuZP.jpg

      In regards to creating an alpha, you don't need to duplicate. In the channels tab just click on the "create new channel" button down the bottom (next to the trash bin icon) and it will create an alpha channel.

  14. Completely forgot about something I wanted to release back at the very beginning of the year. Well, that's about to change.

    1. jc2

      Neat! Any spoliers?

  15. Past 2 days I've been working on doing some "Restoration" work on the Star Forge Robes Texture. I know some people have already done the same in the past, but I wanted to throw my own spin on it. https://i.imgur.com/rdma0Nv.png

  16. Tested out my 4CD version of TSL compared to my Steam version last night. Oddly enough, textures with shine don't render correctly on the 4CD version, but render correctly when I play the Steam version (Legacy branch, not the 2015 update). How curious...

      The 2015 update I notice has a lot of bugs wit textures and sound files.

      Yeah, I saw a screenshot from HassatHunter's Steam page that addressed some missing fog with the Steam Update. Good thing you can still use the old 'LegacyPC' version, prior to the 2015 Update.

  17. Lost the source files for my Jedi Armor Mod for TSL a few weeks ago, due to my own stupidity and a few other factors. Oh well. If I plan on adding more to it, it shouldn't be too hard.

  18. So for the last half of October I finally played the first Silent Hill game and Resident Evil 2 (Leon A, Claire B). Had a blast playing them both!

  20. And so, another playthrough of K1 passes (Female, Dark Side). K1R 1.2 had some new surprises for me, and I did stuff I normally don't do, so it was very refreshing.

      Bah, damnation. I don't want to run into a gamebreaking bug with K1R after hypothetically getting far in the game with Impossible difficulty...

    3. Revanator

      Revanator

      I'm planning on trying, with a significant override folder (not super OP weapon mods though.)

    4. L0ki194

      L0ki194

      Yeah, I played through the game with mostly Vanilla stuff. I made sure to avoid adding OP weapons to my game. I ended up coming across a really good Armor if you spec into Medium Armor. The Heavy Exoskeleton you can get from Suvam at the Yavin station really kicks ass. Fully upgraded, it gives a defense of 13 and + 3 Constitution and Strength. It costs about 22000 though.

  21. Alright, what the hell is the Pillar Puzzle on the Unknown World for? I re-arranged the Glyphs (followed the walkthrough, because this thing makes no sense to me), but nothing happened. Is it quest related or just some optional stuff?

      Statement: I figured it was K1R. But when I looked in the list, it wasn't there.

      I beta tested it and there's frankly no way to understand it. It might help if there were actual symbols.

    4. L0ki194

      L0ki194

      @Fair Strides Thanks. I forgot to check the back of the Pillar.

       

      @Sithspecter I agree. It would probably make more sense *visually* than verbally.

  22. So a few days ago I beat the first Deus Ex game for the first time. Definitely one of my all time favs.

    1. Salk

      Salk

      You should play it with the upcoming (Dec 2016) GMDX 9.0 mod for the perfect experience.

    2. L0ki194

      L0ki194

      Yeah, I'm really looking forward to that when it comes out. I'm holding off on playing GMDX until that version gets released, but until then, I've been either playing The Nameless Mod, Revision, or playing through Invisible War, for the sake of playing it.

  23. After having it sit in my library the past 2 or 3 years, I've playing the original Deus Ex as of late and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I'm also playing this because I have nothing that could even remotely run Mankind Divided.

      You've been missing out the past 16 years. After completing DX, definitely install The Nameless Mod... don't forget to patch it to 1.0.4+ by yours truly ;)

    3. Kexikus

      Also currently playing that game (when I have the time to play anythign that is). It really is a great game.

    4. L0ki194

      L0ki194

      I'll have to take a look at that mod once I'm done, HH. There's quite a few mods that I'm wanting to try after I beat the vanilla game.

  24. I need some input: What, in your own opinion, is the best way to Upscale a texture and give it an HD look?

  25. Time to organize the plethora of K1/TSL mods I have on my PC... Again... and after installing them, end up not playing either games for months.

    1. milestails
    2. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      If you're not going to play them for months, why not hold off on installing them. There could always be updates for those mods you're installing by the time you get around to playing the game.

    3. L0ki194

      L0ki194

      I'm just organizing my mods, not installing them *yet*. Felt like doing it because of the recent releases of K1R and TSLRCM 1.8.5, because I want to play those soon.
