    Based on a recent reinstall of windows steam, along with Kotor II, same issue as before where both logo movies play and then crash before playing the legal.bik movie on the legacyPC version. Can only think NVIDIA driver may be the issue. Has anyone else ran into this issue, or is everyone using the GoG or Aspyr version.

      Most are using the Aspyr version I believe, which includes Steam, Amazon and GoG. You could try something extreme such as replacing the binkw32.dll with the one from swkotor or the Aspyr version, though I am not sure if there's a difference, nor if it would actually work.

      Seems odd that this happened recently. Tempted to install it on my old laptop with a GTX 1650 and see what happens, on the discord another user said to have started it in windowed mode and that fixed the old version of the game. Aye…

      Odd, I use the Aspyr version so I don't know but I have often been tempted to switch to the LegacyPC version, I have just been trying to maintain compatibility across versions and so I have stuck with the most commonly used version for the most part.

  3. Squall Lionhart

    Has anyone had any issues recently where launching the LegacyPC version of the game and it not displaying the Legal BIK movie? For whatever reason, I cannot get the legal movie to play and it will not progress to the main menu. Upon switching to the updated ASPYR version, it works fine.

      Try using this file in your Movies folder, make a backup of the original if you like.
      It's pretty much an empty bik movie, with just some bytes to make it a bik format file.

      Legal.bik

      I’ll try it here in a few. Seems weird it happens every time I reinstall the game too with the legacy PC version.

    3. Squall Lionhart

      No luck, I’ll attempt one more thing before doing a fresh install of windows (honestly need it)

    This may turn into a forum post later, but has anyone tried Kotor I/II on Intels Arc GPUs? Looking at building a new system and 16GB of VRAM sounds pretty nice. I know drivers have been pesky but it looks like team blue is finding their footing.

      The 4060 is kind of a bad deal. You may want to consider a 3060 Ti instead if you can find it around the same price. It's basically on par with the 4060 Ti. Have a look at this -

      Intel XE Graphics have the same issues that Intel HD series iGPUs had years ago when it comes to running Kotor (shader issues, glitches, etc). I believe the intel GPU architecture will likely not have changed in regards to the arc series, whether mobile or dedicated. 

      I have to side with @DarthParametricthe 3060 TI is a great deal if you're looking for budgeting. I'm using one right now.

      Appreciate all the assistance! Looking at the HYTE Y60 or Montech King 95 Pro, leaning towards the pro with the 6 included RGB fans and lower price tag

  6. Squall Lionhart

    Anyone else see Kotor II coming on Switch June 8th, with "Restored Content" DLC...

    1. 1Leonard

      Hope it's a better port than K1 for the Switch

    2. Mephiles550

      @1LeonardI heard people can't even get through Naga Sadow's Tomb on Switch cause the ring puzzle is broken so they're effectively stuck, been a problem for months.

    Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!

    Knights of the Old Republic Remake... interesting

      I'm actually curious what could be causing it. Wondering what is affecting the models or the mdx files to do it that way. DPs hoodless model and the flowing models fix it but obviously not for the maskless versions. Oh well

  10. Squall Lionhart

    Curious if anyone would have info. Right now I'm going through BOS and am trying to assassinate the Mandalorian with the detonator. Only when I equip the detonator, it does not show up on my GUI. All I'm getting are the adrenals. Anyone know why this is happening?

      Last I checked I didn't. But I did forget that shields.2da is a thing. I'll give it a look! Thanks!

       

      Update: BOS doesn't actually update shields.2da, and im not seeing it in my override folder.

    3. Squall Lionhart

      Squall Lionhart

      Found the issue. spells.2da didn't update.

    4. LDR

      Ah, glad you were able to get it fixed! Whenever there's a mod bug it's almost always a 2da issue.

  11. Squall Lionhart

    Perhaps someone knows of this little issue. Trying to replace the ambient music for the dark side alignment choices, and for whatever reason (could be the game itself) the music will not play. I've got it as .wav and an mp3 just in case. Any help is appreciated.

      There is a Light Side and Dark Side Points Gain (Audio Remaster) mod by saiyanveljo. Maybe you can get something by researching this mod or by asking saiyanveljo directly.

      I think the number of channels is also important. Music usually needs to be stereo I think but it could also be that those short music files count as sound effects and those need to be mono. See also here:

    This may seem like a weird thing to ask, but has anyone ever tried using Brotherhood of Shadow with the Carth's Republic Uniform mod? I keep getting a weird bug where I get put on the Orion, the movie cutscene plays, and then it plays opening text crawl from the game. Only with that specific mod, everything else works fine. 

  13. Squall Lionhart

    Have any of you all seen this? It's crazy at how up-scaled these cinematics are.

     

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Yes, I mentioned it here.  15 hours ago.

      Also, why are there so few DS denizens promoting bring these cutscenes here as a mod?  Snigaroo wants to include them in the Reddit mod builds which all well and good.  (I like his Mod Builds for the most part.)  However, wouldn't it be better for the modding community at large to have these upscaled K1 cutscenes (and the K2 cutscenes soon after) on this site rather than on a torrenting site?

    2. Squall Lionhart

      Squall Lionhart

      My apologies SH, I had not noticed you had mentioned these before.

    3. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      I don't need an apology as one isn't warranted.  But do go to the Reddit thread and give the movie upscale your enthusiasm for the work.

  14. Squall Lionhart

    Anyone know of any reason why whenever I stick a reskin of a clothing item in the override folder, it doesn't change? For some reason I am perplexed by this.

      Why not post the texture so folks can tinker with it and see what may be wrong?

    3. Squall Lionhart

      Squall Lionhart

      I'm going to do one last check, but if that doesn't work, I'll post it here.

    4. Squall Lionhart

      Found the issue and deleted it. It was a .tpc file of her original clothing texture.

    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!

      Thank you for your service and stay safe out there after OCS!

      (If you don't mind me asking, were you enlisted beforehand and then later applied to OCS? Sorry if that's a silly question.)

    Anyone know the script for the dialogue at the Polar Academy at the beginning where you get confronted by the handmaidens? The classic bug where you speak "All right, we mean no harm" and the convo does not continue has appeared again...

    1. LiliArch

      LiliArch

      Isn’t it a dlg error and not script trigger one?

    2. Squall Lionhart

      Squall Lionhart

      It probably is, I'll just need to look at the file from the module and try to fix it.

  17. Squall Lionhart

    Porting allowed? Now I can uncover a crap ton of stuff... if I didn't just delete it all.

  18. Squall Lionhart

    What in the hell is this?! I am definitely impressed with the new website look.  

  19. Squall Lionhart

    Is there an easy way to remove the HUD features for a machinima project? Or would the entire thing need to be placed in a dialog scene?

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Might I suggest asking either Darth Varkor or Jenks? Both of them have made movies.

      Can't just swap out the battery in the existing one?

      I grabbed an ASUS ROG Strix and it's been working pretty well. I of course bought it at that inopportune moment where in 3 months or so the price went down by $300 :/

      I would swap the battery out, but unfortunately my trackpad has lost the click function.

    Hmm... when playing the Dark Side ending, is it possible to kill Bastila on the Star Forge? Wondering because of Wookieepedia's article on the game.

    I'm guessing the AMD issue on frame effects is still there with the RX 470 line?
