  1. http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/12/24/star-wars-battlefront-wont-have-episode-7-dlc Well, that definitely eliminates a good chunk of the theories regarding the season pass. I'm betting we're getting Bespin and Dagobah, maybe the Death Star. They don't have much left in the OT.
  2. I really wish there was a way for this to have gotten in the game as an alternative ending somehow

      And my video makes another appearance.

  3. More proof that Kotor is cannon. :)

      I realized the mistake the moment I typed it. I'm not going to delete a status for it.

      Besides, cannons are cool.

  4. @Sith HolocronCan you say how Kotor  has performed on your PC ever since you got your Radeon 570? I've heard Kotor has a couple issues on AMD cards, including some specific stories with the 570.

      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?

    2. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      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.

  5. Could someone port the full Ubese Assassin model from TSL to Kotor 1?

  6. Decided to try Reshade on Kotor for the first time... this hurts my eyes and it feels like the antialiasing was completely turned off (it's set to 8x). Ya... not seeing the big deal.

      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.

    3. Malkior

      Malkior

      @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.

      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.

       

  7. I miss before Disney took over Star Wars. I do enjoy much of the new content coming out (minus the new trilogy) and I like how Star Wars is considerably more "organized" now if that's the right way to word it, but some of the magic is gone. Besides the Clone Wars being cancelled, I liked the chaotic nature of the Expanded universe. What was canon? What was the timeline? Hell, idk but I loved all of it. It was a mess full of wondrous creativity to explore and Disney will never give us that because they're plans are much more strict.

  8. I tried to replace the Great Storm Beast on Malachor with a Rancor in Kotor Tool and it crashed a second after it showed the rancor loaded. Do you think the problem was something wrong with the animations or the model being too big and stuck in the map? Or was it something else? I'm stuck. 😕

    1. N-DReW25

      N-DReW25

      Maybe the big Rancor lacks animations and it crashes the game due to either a missing model or missing model data, did you manage to see the Ranor before the game crashed and did it do anything (Walk, Run, Attack etc)?

    2. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      I saw the rancor at the size I expected and it had regular idle animations. It stood where the big storm beast spawns. But it wouldnt move forward at all so the game crashed after like 2 or 3 seconds looking at it 

    3. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      Actually, I just tried it again and this time it worked! I didn't do anything different either. The fight is actually a lot more intimidating now!

      The only bug I occasionally get when trying this fight is that sometimes, after I kill it, I randomly die. That makes no sense to me.

  9. In terms of decision making, who do you think is the worst Jedi?

      I'm surprised no one mentioned Anakin (I'm an Anakin fan, but even I can't deny that he made some bad decisions, even though in the end he fulfilled the Prophecy).

    3. djh269

      djh269

      Definitely Anakin, he killed all the Jedi in the Temple including the younglings because he didn't like sand or people with the high ground. "In my point of view the jedi are evil" after killing 8 year olds.

      I'm going with Mace Windu on this one.

      Basically said the dumbest shit to convince Ahsoka to stay, which ended up making her leave anyway and he probably didn't care.

      Brought only three other Jedi Masters, one of which Grievous even technically bested,  to take down Palpatine without properly examining the situation.

      Made his own padawan fall to the Dark Side and he had to kill him.

      Treated Anakin worse than any other Jedi did IMO, first one to declare that he should not be trained, did not believe that he was the chosen one,  kept denying him important misions and trust, etc. Always failed to properly reason with Anakin.

      Fell for Palpatine's bait, both before confronting him and after "beating" him right as Anakin showed up.

      Basically I'm convinced Windu is the whole reason why all the fucking Jedi were killed cause of his poor decision making.

  10. Is it common in the Steam version of TSL for your character to be locked in place in combat and unable to move afterwards cause that's been happening to me alot lately.

      It's not the monitor itself, it's the game running at refresh rates beyond what it was designed for (remember it was designed to run at 30Hz/fps on a CRT television). You see similar kinds of things with certain games having physics issues when the game runs faster than it was designed for. As with KOTOR, a common problem with console ports. Another example of framerate-related weirdness - in Fallout 4 above 60fps you will end up getting trapped when interacting with computer terminals, unable to exist.

    3. LiliArch

      LiliArch

      unable to exist”, huh? Guess that’s one way to cause a critical existence failure. In all seriousness though, I knew that old games may run too fast thus making it impossible to do anything, because you’ll, for example, just plain hit a wall before having a chance to act, but freezing caused by similar reasons was news to me. It’s a bizarre thought. Well, unless the game is actually run by GPU and not CPU, in which case I can imagine it going haywire.

      Not that I would know, mind you. I’m a software person, not a hardware one.

    4. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      Lol, whoops. Unable to exit. You'd try to exit out of the terminal screen and get stuck in the middle of the standing up animation. The only way out was to load a prior save or teleport via the console.

  11. Is it possible to somehow keep the stealth field effect and force vision effect with Frame Buffer Effects disabled? Using my handy dandy override folder perhaps? 

  12. Is there a UTC file for trask? Like P_Trask.utc? Cause I can't find something like it anywhere. Is his equipment strictly script based?

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

    3. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      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.

      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. :cheers:

      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.

  13. Is your PC really the strongest ever at the end of Kotor 1/2?

    Best Weapons, armor and shields and overall gear in the game, plenty of means to heal.

    What does the final boss have?
    Their  dirty clothes and a basic lightsaber. Don't really heal that much, easily preventable with Malak.

    Really, when you think about it, these guys are probably way better then you by the end.

  14. It's interesting how the Vertex Objects lightsaber glitch in the TSL Steam update only happens on some maps, and on some maps it can be triggered just from looking at the camera at a different angle, the Onderon Palace is one example.

  15. So Traya was originally supposed to be Yoda's species?

    Would you have preferred that? I think that would have been a really intriguing idea. Would he/she talk like Yoda and have his speech patterns? Would they more or less be exactly like Kreia personality wise? A grey/evil version of Yoda sounds cool.

    1. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      I think you are mixing Bioware's ideas with Obsidian's. The Yoda-species thing was Bioware's idea for K2, but then they refused the gig and used the main plot idea for Jade Empire instead.

  16. To anyone with AMD cards, do older games run fine on them? I've heard of a lot of issues with older games getting screwed up on AMD cards, especially games like Kotor 2 and Battlefront 2 (classic). Lots of crashing and texture abnormalities. Did you all have a smooth experience? I'm planning on getting an RX 570

  17. Bring out the hype and the salt, we've got another remake rumor:

  19. LMAO I just came across this old TSL video. It's something else. I haven't seen this in nearly 5 years. The laughs. XD

  20. Has anyone seen this Ebon Hawk animation?

    This is genuinely amazing

      Mephiles550

      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.

    4. Thor110

      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.

  21. Did the Ancient Sith Species have any hair at all before the arrival of the Dark Jedi exiles on Korriban? "Sith purebloods" is a concept that I keep seeing both with and without hair on their head, but I usually see it referring only to members of the Sith species who are bald. IDK the lore of TOR, so how does this work?

    1. Nevrius

      Nevrius

      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.

  22. Got back into Kotor modding and Deadlystream cause of Kotor 2's mobile port announcement, great early christmas gift.

    I decided to try Brotherhood of Shadow along with my other 14GB of Kotor mods. From the save provided with the mod, it's worked fantastically well from start to finish, with only a few tidbits here needing some obvious patching. I'm stunned by how little I have to fix. 

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      What needs patching?  Will you be releasing these fixes?

    2. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      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.

  23. Has anyone heard anything from Sithspector or how his progress on Sleheyron is going? It's been quite a while. 

    I'm guessing he's just not had much time to work on it, which is understandable. 

    I'll stop inquiring about it permanently if mods want

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      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.

    2. LDR

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