AAAAARGH STEAM. Is there a potential fix?

Nvm, so apparently adding spaces in between each word of "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1" fixed the issue. Wtf?

Yeah I don't know what the deal is with that. Could be Aspyr changed something in their code so it changes the way it reads swkotor2.ini

While giving Nihilus Death Field does make him annoying sometimes, I do enjoy the extra challenge and I think it suits a character of his prowess more than just drain life.

Yes I agree that he was way too easy for a sith lord that destroys planets.

I always thought that a party member should die in that fight.

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

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.

Lots of nvm's lately

If you mean from my status update requests than ya I noticed that also. Sith Holocron was a big help.

Oops, I actually confused you with SH. My bad 0_o

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.

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)?

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 

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.

You could always use RedHawke's Rodian Elder Merchant mod.

"This simple mod spawns Gviian Sluupor a freindly stranded Rodian Merchant, as well as a Workbench, on entry to the Elder encampment on the Unknown world, you will find him on the other side by all the Metalboxes and Plastic Cylenders. I hated that there was no place on the unknown world to sell the items you could not use and also have some killer items to buy, so here he is. This mod is also fully compatable with all of My Mods and just about everyone else's mods as well."

Original 4CD FTW!

Statement: I still do it that way. Though I've been forced to install with an image of my K2 play disc, I still use the CD to play the game.

I have my 4CD copy of Kotor on a USB stick since I hate having to switch the disks every time i reinstall

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. 

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...

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.

Rather simple, actually. Step 1 is to always grab Halo Custom Edition for it, which was made by Gearbox, the people who ported Halo CE to PC. Custom Maps you literally just download the file, then drag it to the "maps" folder, and it should be able to play. Currently, I've been hyped about a Single Player mod called "CMT SPV3", which is still in development.

You misunderstand me, I know how to install mods but I don't know how to edit mod files.

Ah... damn, sorry about that. I have no experience in that front unfortunately. I would assume there's at least some tutorials on the Halo Maps forum.

I found BOS rather difficult but maybe thats just me.

Yeah BOS is a bit tougher than base-game.

That doesn't mean I need a set of light armor from Czerka that turns me into a hulk. BOS isn't really that hard. The only time I thought it was tough was during the stealth part with the droid and Shadow's visions, all of which limit you to only a handful of items and whatever you find. Solomon's fight may have been a little tough, but nothing unbeatable.

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

... It was stupid.

Gotta be

Eh, it's a prank.

Yes it is. I actually got the installer all finished (with no errors running it!) this last weekend... But the hard drive physically failed literally the next morning. :( So I need to re-do the installer from scratch, again. *sigh*

My sympathies FS.

Are you talking about utc's? If your kotor tool detects the correct registry paths for k1 and tsl it should detect custom appearances

Enable the option for it to use the Override folder and it will pull data from any custom appearance.2da, etc.

Thank you DP, I wasn't aware of that option before. That saves some headaches.

It's likely down to the way the engine is coded, although it's odd that issues persist with entirely new Intel integrated GPUs a decade and a half later. Perhaps ndix UR could provide some insight based on firsthand poking under the hood.

My guess is that something in Intel drivers just doesn’t like KotOR’s engine.

I'd have to run the GPU caps viewer on the Intel driver to say specifically, but the short answer is that the game uses old OpenGL extensions, often NV_ or ATI_ namespaced ones. The big two have kept those features in their newer packages while Intel has, presumably, not gone back and implemented every historical OpenGL extension. Especially since OpenGL is the ignored stepchild to Direct3D on Windows. Long story short, it is unlikely to ever get better and it's not a hardware issue.

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.

The texture is C_DrdWar01.tga if that helps.

Found it, it's "stuntdroids"

thank you anyway, Holocron. I'm now deciding which model to change it with. I really hate how Obsidion decided to include so many low poly models in the game. Now I have to replace them all. Ugh

I concur! Deadlystream is a welcoming star wars/modding community.

Not sure. I mean, there is a 3 feats, 3 Force points mod. 

well i don't know if there is one but keep in mind that i am not a script guy. I don't know if you know about Tamerbill with his feat mods. You can ask him to do something similar to that

Early 30s?

47. How? Idk.

it would be interesting to see if it could be a fit for Kotor 1. I mean that you can get the files to fit into Kotor 1, Thor might help you in that required

It was good, it just needed a final pass, a while back I spent a week or two straightening up placeables, npc's and doors because they were all slightly out of line or at weird rotations that didn't fit, it's not much but it's something.

As for getting it across to KotOR1, it's easy enough to do and I wrote a tutorial on porting levels if anyone feels up to doing it, or they might already be available amongst the cluttered early mess I made when I also ported everything from K2 to K1 : https://www.moddb.com/mods/expanded-galaxy-project-kotor-12/downloads

But in all honesty, it's probably easier and more practical to do it from scratch so as to know exactly what is necessary.

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.
