    I heard from some people that TSL on Steam has more modding limitations than it's disc counterpart (Can't install too many mods without problems). I typically have around 2+GB of mods and I make my own patches to make all of these mods compatible. Is it true about the limitations or are there none?

      The limitations refer to using the Workshop. Avoid doing that and just stick with typical modding and you'll be fine. The Workshop implementation is ass anyway, it will just lead to headaches for anything more than simple overrides like textures and so forth.

      Standard Copy & Paste procedure and the TSL patcher work just fine as normal? Good, thank you!

      Yes, just use the Steam install directory as you would for the GOG or CD version. TSLPatcher won't handle automatic lookup because of different registry entries, but you can manually point it to the right location.

    I love the variety; I always wished someone made this type of mod before... surprised it took this long. 5/5 Thanks!

    Aaaaaand another Kotor remake/reboot rumor to add to the pile. http://wwg.com/2017/04/10/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-getting-rebooted/

      Probably just another Knights of the Retconned Emperor expansion for TOR, with the "leaker" too clueless to tell the difference.

    "UUUUUUGHHHHHHH... Why are the load times for Kotor 2 on the Xbox so damn awfuuuuul"
  5. Mephiles550
    On the contrary, nearly every single problem with Revan can be fixed. It's just that some problems are much more of a pain in the ass to fix than others, and I don't know if anyone would want to fix such small details that take so much time and effort. Revan's model can be fully fixed/modified to make sense from a female body's perspective, but that'll take a while to do. :/ Head clipping issues will also never be properly resolved, unfortunately.

    The rumored Kotor remake comes in again for round two. Take with a pillar of salt.
  7. Mephiles550

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

    Old quote of mine from earlier on in the thread: "The problem is, trying to fix the cape brings up problems when you take maskless versions of Revan's robes into account. First of all, the flowing robes would need to have a maskless version for male PCs so that being able to equip and unequip the Revan mask while wearing Revan's robes makes sense. Trying to get full compatability for female Revan brings up an even bigger problem. There is no, as far as I'm aware, flowing cape fix for female PCs. There was an edited female Revan model some time ago, but it doesn't have a fixed cape. Even if a fix was made, the mask problem would have to be taken into account again. What I did was take the flowing cape model files and replace the BOS Revan model files with Sithspecter's edited version. This means that I couldn't get proper female animations or be able to remove my mask while wearing the robes, but it was a much better alternative to the cardboard cape. " Basically, Revan's cape overhaul isn't technically complete by BOS' standards. Revan's model is a mess as a whole. It was intended for cinematic uses only. Adding unmasked and female versions shows just how messed up the model is. The unmasked versions also have head clipping issues. Messy, messy, messy...

    Arguably, there are overhaul mods. You have things XarWarz' various texture packs (which do cover every part of the game), you have the Kotor Ultimate Overhaul and you have various other texture mods. There was also that weird Russian mod.

    I don't know if the room's NPCs should be changed. I thought that was supposed to be a part of the atmosphere. Compare and contrast Nar Shaddaa's cantina with Onderon's. The one on Onderon is a lot more lively, people are standing everywhere, it's crowded and cramped and everyone looks like they're enjoying themselves to an extent (with the exception of the Beast Riders, I guess). Nar Shaddaa's cantina on the other hand shows how everyone's keeping to themselves and generally dislikes any new company. Don't the aliens keep saying things like "Smooth Skins shouldn't walk free..." and "Space off"? I felt the bar was setup perfectly fine to reflect just how depressing this planet was in comparison to the other ones. People aren't going here to have a good time, their going here to get wasted on Juma Juice, overdose on spice and discuss business in a secret and quiet environment. Even the bartender acts like he hates his job. I don't imagine that this place was intended to be really lively at all. That's just my take on it, at least. I'm curious to see any disagreements.

    759mb and not done yet..
    Nar Shaddaa will be your magnum opus.
  12. Mephiles550
    It's so beautiful... I never thought that I'd get to see the day when the Nar Shaddaa of my dreams get's to lie in my override folder. Me and XnView are waiting patiently.
  13. Mephiles550
    Lol, I still remember my reaction to seeing Revan's cape animated back in 2009. My jaw must have dropped. I thought that we reached the pinnacle of Kotor modding. XD And I'm not concerned about the mod developers not knowing how to fit Sleheyron in with the rest of the game. I mean, we kind of proved that this could be resolved with M4-78 and TSLRCM as a a whole. I'm more concerned about how the hell I'm going to make this beast of a mod compatible with my current override folder. That's going to be the fun part for me.

    Kyle Katarn got creative to kill the Sewer Rancor on Taris. Instead of putting a grenade with the Hidden Bek's Chemical on a corpse, Kyle just ate a grenade, Let the rancor eat him and let the grenade explode inside of him. The rancor was killed and Kyle came out unharmed. And Darth Revan shat himself upon witnessing this.

    These Nar Shaddaa screenshots are seriously some of the best texture work I've ever seen in TSL, mainly for my own personal reasons. You have no idea how long I've wanted a great Nar Shaddaa texture mod, as it's always been my favorite planet in the Kotor games and one of my favorite locations in Star Wars overall. and I knew for sure that you would be the best person for the job. All of the animated panels, the HD textures and none of it feels out of place at all! It all wraps around the map nicely and doesn't stick out whatsoever. I think I felt a tear coming out of my eye when I saw the 5th NS screenshot.

    If Kotor was remade under today's gaming standards, Yavin IV and a re-written Korriban and/or Manaan would be DLC packs in a $40 season pass.

    1. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      Lol, a Sleheyron remake that's on-disc DLC

      The ending for light-side and dark-side would be the same except for different colored lightsabers in the final scene of the game

      Yeah, in the offline sector especially EA sympathizes with that kind of policy - CD Projekt Red is the only exception i know.

      Id really like to see some more 30+ hours quality "expansions" like the old ones from NWN2.

    I always thought that Atton had the creepiest Dark Side transition. Disciple looks creepy, ya, but Atton looks ever more hideous. As for Atris merged with Kreia/Traya's robe, I actually think the idea is pretty good. Imagine Atris turning around to reveal herself for the first time in the robe revealing who she is, then imagine seeing the back of the exact same robe with Kreia's face instead, revealing the real Darth Traya. I like it.

    Darth Sion. The guy is living in constant pain, both physical and mental. Seriously, think about that. The willpower it must take to get along with that body of his. Makes me wonder if it's possible to cut off his limbs, considering all that he's gone through and what he's capable of. That demonic scottish accent is something, I tell ya 'hwut I heard a rumor that, at one point of the game's development, the mask of Darth Nihilus was supposed to be Revan's Skull. If that were true, that would automatically make him my favorite. He's still third place though. Kreia's my second favorite. Malak was just a butcher. He didn't really have anything interesting going on about him in the game itself. He has an interesting backstory, but none of that is actually revealed in the game (specific involvement in the Mandalorian Wars, love interest, etc). Revan... I'm pretty certain that TOR ruined my perception of Revan. TSL left open so many badass interpretations for Revan that could have been left for fans to ponder. Whatever answers we got from TOR left me dissatisfied. I'm not ever sure as to why. I'm sure plenty of people disagree with me here. Malgus looks cool. That's about all I can say about him. he LOOKS cool. Darth Bandon exists just to die and give me 3000 credits

    Still never going to buy this. I'm not going to pay $110 for any game to be complete, whether it be Battlefield or Battlefront, and I'm not going to buy half of a game that's pretty much only online.
  20. Mephiles550
    Additional textures are not needed, trust me. Most of the guns just re-use the same textures from Kotor and the ones with TSL-unique textures, of which none come to mind, can just share some other textures instead. That won't be a problem. Motivation-wise, I understand fully. I've been playing more Kotor than TSL. I'm indifferent to the situation because I already set up my TSL to have all blasters replaced with custom models (ToastyFresh & some other models here) but I'm just asking because I know for sure that some would be interested. By the way, my favorite designs are the Blaster Cannon and the Genoharaden blaster.
  21. Mephiles550
    This is a fantastic model pack! It feels like they came right from The Old Republic. If it wouldn't be too much to ask though, do you think you could port this pack over to TSL? Trust me, I know how much of a pain in the ass it would be to do that with the additional weapon types and file changes. I had to make my own modifications using ToastyFresh's Weapon Overhaul TSL beta and I had to convert and edit a good number of models. I'm asking because TSL especially feels really devoid of high quality blaster models.
  22. Mephiles550
    Atton Rand; I don't think any character was more hilarious and manipulable than that guy. I could just kill some random guy we talk to and he'll be like, "Next time, warn me about that" and I'll still get +influence with him. I can keep killing as many innocent people as I want with him there and still convince him to be a Jedi. XD It sucks doing that with Kreia, though. I keep losing influence from her because of that.
  23. Mephiles550
    This is probably one of the coolest and weirdest mods ever made. 0.0
  24. Mephiles550
    If need be, you could just delete or edit the line where Bastila mentions the planets. It doesn't really matter. What I'm wondering is how you'll make Sleheyron's star map not break the game.
  25. Mephiles550

    Could one make an arguement that TSL without the restored content mod could still be considered a complete game by itself? Obviously it technically isn't, but could one interpret the story without the mod in a way that makes it seem complete?

    1. milestails

      The mere thought of playing TSL without TSLRCM is a very frightening prospect indeed.

    2. zbyl2

      Sure, it's easy. You can start it and you can see the ending. Therefore, the game is complete.

      The more I think about possibilites, the more times I remember that HK-47 says you can get to the HK-50 factory when you really can't and that Malachor is a giant mess of a plothole.
