Shouldn't she use Juhani's character slot? Or does this assume you've killed Bastila? Because in a Dark Side playthrough the chances of killing Bastila are lower than killing Juhani. Usually. Depending on what you are doing.

To answer the question in regard to party slots, you cannot add an NPC to a slot that is already filled. The script will simply fail. If it was supposed to perform additional functions after trying to add the NPC, then those will probably break. One would hope that some failsafes were built into the script to avoid that, but you'd have to look at the source.

Should be a simple script edit, though you may also need some DLG editing to have it make sense. Although from memory even in the DS ending the tossing her into the pit thing kind of comes out of nowhere.

Player heads?

I think there was another version where I also included the unused ones.

Edit: SH posted them here - https://deadlystream.com/topic/5501-the-missing-heads-in-tsl/

That's interesting, thanks for clarifying.

The question popped up after seeing the latest topic about porting Juhani to TSL, I always thought those player models were already there. 

A bunch of heads got remodelled/re-uv'd, others just got outright replaced, so it's a bit of a mixed bag as to what remains. The most well known example is mullet man being turned into one of the Hispanic male heads.

Apologies for the late reply, but I took your advice and decided to wait a little bit longer. I'm getting a RTX 3060 TI for a roughly 20% discount which is... msrp lol but the normal price for these things is 500 and I'm paying 400 bucks 

I went back and forth between thinking Kotor's incompatibilities would be worth the cheaper price with AMD, but then I remembered that the stealth effect is tied to Frame Buffer Effects and disabling that make stealth look beyond immersion breaking. I don't even use the Stealth skill and I hate it. One garbage texture issue all but sealed the deal.

Well that and Nvidia's drivers just seem much better in the long run and I think it'll be a better long term investment. Thanks for your advice! I was also considering the A770, but that video and some additional research made me realize that Intel needs some more catching up to do that I don't want to be a part of. 

Just note that nVidia are deliberately holding off on releasing lower tier 4000 series cards in order to clear the backlog of 3000 inventory, so that 3060 will drop further in the coming months. I would definitely suggest holding off on any card purchase right now unless you absolutely require one.

My free time is basically going to get cut in half in a few months if not weeks from now for work and school related reasons anyway so I'm trying to squeeze out what enjoyment I can get. Months from now, knowing I could've saved an extra $50 or even $100 bucks will sting slightly but it won't be a big deal. I just want time to use the thing.

$400 was also the cheapest I could find this card anyway, so it's alright. The average price I'm seeing this right now is $500 and that price was already dropping a decent amount over the past few months. 

It's pretty clear from their pajammas getup that they aren't Dark Jedi, they're space ninja. That should explain everything.

Darth Parametric answered it in this thread, I believe. 

The gist is, yes it may boost some performance but it would be minimal since modern systems can handle any overhead already.

It's probably possible to use the Aspyr version .exe that is available on the GoG forums, though because of it's nature it would sever it's connection to Steam, I wonder if this has any noticeable effect on the time it takes for the dialog skipping bug to occur.

m478 will never be added to switch 

They need to be constantly pumping out filler material for Disney+ in order to keep people subscribed. Hence the string of Star Wars and Marvel TV shows. Quality is well down the list of their priorities. The only way they'll stop is if the financials stop making sense, as happened with their Star Wars theatrical plans.

Whilst I am a nerd who can never get enough content, I'm missing independent movies sometimes. And TV series that have original concepts. Whilst I'm not bored at this point in time I can completely understand why some/alot of people are getting bored of it all.

Disney acquiring both Marvel and Star Wars is a gift and a curse. We'll get a lot of exposition, but disneyifing everything will get very boring soon.

You know what they say about quality vs. quantity...

If I remember correctly, the very ancient Sith Purebloods - prior to Ajunta&co arriving - didn't have any hair. The hair only came thanks to interspecies relationships.

These ancient Sith for the most part also only had three fingers on each hand, if memory serves right, but don't take my word on that one.

That's awesome! Time to make Yavin IV a planet! I jest. 🤣

Honestly I kinda wish the old Yavin IV mod got a modern take to it, it didn't age well at all.

It doesn't need brand new modules, but boy could it use a better story behind it and scripting. The beginning is a perfect summary of how whack the mod is, Suvam just flies his ship through the hills lol 

It was ambitious for back then, but definitely flawed.

I still haven't played the Yavin IV mod or many of either games mods and I really should try to find the time to do so.

I've heard that they're reimagining it for a new generation... soo, I'm not getting good vibes from this

There is some chatter going on the comms that they supposedly hired an SJW with serious hatred for the OG, but I'm taking these news with a grain of salt, since I find these channels tend to blow things out of proportion more often than not. 

I'll likely gonna adopt my usual stance for games I'm excited about, but want to see how they actually look (meaning watching playthroughs on YT).

Honestly, the thing I'm most bummed about is that from what I understand, it's a PS5 thing only, and I'm a PC guy (though someone said it would be for PC too? Can anyone clarify?), and not willing to spend money on consoles which are gonna be obsolete in a few years anyway. 

Its also coming to PC.

I sent him a message on another matter and it went unanswered.  If I had to hazard a guess, RL has reared it's head.

When he does have something to report on Sleheyron, I am sure he'll mention something in the WIP thread.

Knowing him and his passion for it, I assure you Sithspecter is probably hard at work with Sleheyron.

Huh? I didn't know about that, I always got the first line.

There's two dialogue options:

1) Tell me what you saw. (I saw a graveyard world...)

2) What did you see when you looked at him? (A man, nothing more.)

If I'm interpreting this correctly, there's Visas seeing/looking with her eyes, and then there's Visas "seeing" with the Force. I took a look through Kotor Tool (ERFs > Modules > 852NIH_dlg.erf > 852end.dlg), and emphasis is placed on the wording the player uses. Feel free to look at it yourself and give it your own interpretation.

Yes, I would want them to remake KOTOR 1 and 2 both and bring them into canon status.

I know people are doubtful, but Jason Schreier has a well known record for being having insider industry knowledge so if he's teasing a KOTOR game is in development I 100% believe it.

If we do get a KotOR 3 it'll be like Baldur's Gate 3, an unrelated game re-using the KotOR name for marketing reasons.

A good remake of KOTOR 2 (just graphics, cut content and maybe minor gameplay tweaks) would be amazing for my personal replayability of the game.

I love KOTOR 2, but I've played it so many times that I cannot enjoy it without any novelty.

What needs patching?  Will you be releasing these fixes?

No because all of the fixes would only be relevant to my own personal override folder's contents, it would be useless to anyone else and would probably just cause more problems.

Most of the glitches I encountered were related to the 2da files, with some objects here and there likely not having been in their right spot, e.g, Akirkon at the last fight was a czerka employee, the force cage at the end was a rock, and solomons grave was a puddle of oil, etc. They werent common, but noticable. Those were really the only problems I had. 

I will say tho that I would genuinely pay money to have someone with a decent VO and microphone replace all of Shadows twilek lines with actual english. Its seriously unbearable hearing twilek speak in moments that are actually well written. 

You could always try fiverr.com and see if you want to hire a voice actress. 

I  always thought that Duros caught a round from the crossfire between the 2 parties.

Probably legit. He tried to jump into someone else's body in the last film...

... It was stupid.

Gotta be

Sorry, I haven't seen this post until right now.  I've installed KotOR and TSL on the computer but I haven't played either of them on a consistent basis.  However, I did record the into to mrmann's Cruse of the Sith video with no problems so consider I not only was playing the game with no issues but also recording with FRAPS at the same time.  What sort of issues have you heard about regarding the 570?

Things like resolution errors, crashing, shading issues, texture abnormalities, and the like. It may not necessarily be the GPU but the specific AMD drivers being used that are responsible.

Not sure about you guys but when I tried reshade on Kotor it was the worst mistake I ever made: literally felt like I applied a 1970s style VCR filter on my game whilst paying my FPS for it.

@N-Drew Sigh... That's because the person who made that preset probably used a 1970s VCR filter shader. That's literally a thing it can do.

Reshade is a tool that allows you to do ANYTHING to your game's pixel shader. You can change every variable in each shader in your preset to whatever you want.

Why does everyone keep blaming the tool itself instead of the poorly made presets? 

What you are saying is akin to claiming game mods suck because of a crappy skin someone made of Jolee.

../endrant

The similarity between reshade and modding is that most people who play kotor only know how to "use" it, not how it works. The majority of people who download anything besides a texture mod, and even then, dont know the purpose behind any file in their override. It's the same with reshade, they dont know how it works. They just download it and put it in their kotor folder 

The difference between reshade and modding is that the majority of kotor mods, I think, are fairly good. The majority of kotor reshade presets available, from what i can tell, are ass.

...when he actually equips it...

This! If only he equipped the sword one scene earlier...

The script that fires on Entry0, k_pend_cut32, calls his OnUserDefined Case 400, so you could probably just edit k_pend_trask_d and move the sword creation/equipping elements from Case 500 to Case 400.

...edit k_pend_trask_d and move the sword creation/equipping elements from Case 500 to Case 400.

Could you explain the basic move on using DeNCS? I already have the JAR file but I'm lost afterwards.

Many thanks for considering this.

Edit: As it seems there is no source file for k_pend_trask_d. So yeah, we should decompiled it right? 🤔

Edit2: Ooops, apologize that I'm pushing my luck a bit too far on this status update. I think asking the aforementioned matter with a proper thread is the best manner possible.
