  1. Anyone remember OldFlash's Final Touch mod? That was pretty much THE mod to have for TSL back in the days before TSLRCM. Well, that and USM, but they were probably incompatible. :X

    1. milestails

      milestails

      Yeah. I never dug the screenshots for that mod. Oldflash's vision for the game aesthetically didn't jive with mine. Never used it.

    2. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      I mainly used it for the saber hilts, the new remote model and some other robe skins. The mod kicked ass, even if I didn't really care for some parts of it. The Mandalorian model kicked ass.

  2. anytime I see DP post I expect him to reveal his magnum opus... well for that month anyway.

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      His magnus opus is his moddin' knowledge!

    2. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Magnum. Damn you, autocorrect!

  3. C'mon people, I wanna see some new screens of the week! I'm so bored of Seeing HK's tan at the beach.

      I submit this piece for screenshot of the week. I call it Ajunta Pall Dance Party https://i.imgur.com/m4N9GNk.jpg

      Yes please VP

  4. 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

      milestails

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

    2. zbyl2

      zbyl2

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

    3. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      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.

  5. Darth Vader vs Darth Sion... who wins?

    1. Rece

      Rece

      Sion no doubt.

       

  6. Deadlystream... are you ready... to MOD?

    1. jc2

      jc2

      [it] Always has been, the challenge is on your end ^^

  7. Do we have an update on ToastyFresh's TSL version on his weapon overhaul besides his old incomplete release?

    1. Kexikus

      Kexikus

      I don't think so, no :(

  8. Does anyone else find it weird how Obsidion didn't both to animate Revan's cape? It was acceptable in Kotor because you never saw an in-game model of him besides when Revan removes his/her mask, but you actually fight Revan in TSL. Pure laziness.

    1. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      The Nihilus fight wasn't technically complete either. He was animated perfectly fine.

    2. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      1-There's a long list of issues with TSL, this Robe issue shouldn't be surprising at this point. 2-If it's really an issue with you, perhaps you should ask this create of the "Revans Flowing Robe TSL v1.1" mod to consider tackling it

    3. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      Trust me, I downloaded the cap fix a long time ago. It's a great mod. I just find it kind of strange to think that Obsidian didn't bother to fix the issue themselves, that's all.

      Something tells me they would have ignored fixing the model even if they had put in all of the content they wanted.

  9. Does anyone happen to know the name of the floor texture in the Korriban cave? I swear, I can find around a dozen of the same textures in Kotor Tool, but none of them seem to be the one I need. Korriban's textures are confusing. ):

    1. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      Nevermind, I found it. (LRK_Flr)

  10. Even though I can't use Brotherhood of Shadow cause It'd be completely incompatible with all of my mods, I still found a good use for Dark Hope's excellent Shadow texture mod. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/911282400423213068/C43F519E10DE7AEE97B1AF2E28CBBC9E76403032/

    1. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      Made the regular yellow and Orange Twilek's full Dark Side transition face texture Hope's Shadow and other Twilek texture in the Heads.2DA. I couldn't just let such good texture mods go to waste.

  11. Even though I dislike the stories of the newer movies, I absolutely adore the visual aesthetics they're going with these movies now. They're doing Ralph Mcquarrie a great service. The New Order has my favorite designs out of all Star Wars factions.

  12. For some reason, TSL refuses to load lightsaber hilt textures. I have no idea why. I'll empty out my override and have only the lightsaber mod, and it'll be a chrome mess.

    1. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      AAAAARGH STEAM. Is there a potential fix?

    2. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

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

    3. VarsityPuppet

      VarsityPuppet

      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

  13. How likely do you think the possibility for a Kotor 1 remake is? TSL seems highly doubtful, but I think there is a possibility, though slim, for Kotor 1

    1. diegodb

      diegodb

      Since EA is in charge now, highly impossible.

    2. Hassat Hunter

      Hassat Hunter

      Why do we need a remake anyway, the games are still fine???

      It will not happen.

  14. I hate overpowered mod items in Kotor. Brotherhood of Shadow looks fun, but I'll probably end up weakening dozens of items in Kotortool if I download it again.

    1. Tyvokka

      Tyvokka

      I found BOS rather difficult but maybe thats just me.

    2. LDR

      LDR

      Yeah BOS is a bit tougher than base-game.

    3. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      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.

  15. 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?

    1. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      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.

    2. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

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

    3. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      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.

  16. I just downloaded an old mod for Kotor 1 that is about 75 MB. It has multiple modules that have the "Sle_" in their names, several Sleheyron textures and voice files that reference Sleheyron. Huh... what did I find. :/

    1. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      Interesting. I lol'd at that picture of Sleheyron.

    2. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      Judging by the screenshot of "Sleheyron" I saw on their website, I'm guessing it's just a bunch of Tatooine modules with Sleheyron skyboxes. That feels out of place.

    3. Sith Holocron

      This has potential for an interesting video. Someone clue in Xuul!

  17. I may feel like an outdated hipster while using the original 4CD TSL copy or original JK2/JK3 copy, but I feel like that's how the games were meant to be played.

    1. milestails

      milestails

      Original 4CD FTW!

    2. HK-47

      HK-47

      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.

    3. Xuul

      Xuul

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

  18. I regret installing the Coruscant level mod. It works perfectly, but damn is it broken. I can go from a weak character to a god in a few minutes with all of the loot and force powers you can get from the planet.

    1. djh269

      djh269

      I like the referenced Kotor 1 items you get in it. But you do get Force Crush too early if you play it as a 1st/2nd planet.

    2. jc2

      jc2

      I mean you could exercise restraint and not use them? o.O But yeah I had the same issue, I just installed http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/874-k1-and-tsl-difficulty-options/ this mod to fix that issue.

  19. I returned from the graduation ceremony of someone I know. One of the professors gave a speech in which he quoted a bunch of lines from the Star Wars movies. Let's just say that it felt so weird to both authentically laugh and cringe simultaneously.

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      The Force Cringes. I'd watch that.

  20. I think Kylo Ren's unstable lightsaber would fit perfectly with Darth Nihilus.

    1. Sithspecter

      Sithspecter

      I think the unstable lightsaber blade symbolizes that the crystal inside was cracked. Bad crystal = blade on the fritz. No need to read into it.

    2. 1Leonard

      1Leonard

      Besides, I don't think it has ever been stated that the saber is ancient itself, just based on an ancient design.

    3. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      Decided to rip the Nhilus saber from the Ultimate Saber Mod and give it to Nihilus. Works like a charm with no comparability issues with TSLRCM mod because I only edited his MOD. file.. :)

  21. I wish we had a download here for Kotor 1 saves on every location. :(

    1. djh269

      djh269

      Hello, I've just submitted 548 Kotor 1 game saves. It covers every moment in the game :)

    2. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      That's great, thank you! Now we just have to wait for the mod's approval.

      Are these saves with K1R or not? It doesn't really matter to me eitherway, but I'm curious.

    3. djh269

      djh269

      Hello again, I'm just sorting things out with Sithspecter as I should of added some more info, unfortunately I didn't install K1R at this point. I can easily do any set in the future!

  22. I'm going through that phase again... time to delete my Override's contents, reinstall Kotor, and download, edit and customize hundreds of mods to my preference.

    1. milestails

      milestails

      Make sure you always have a copy of the vanilla game folder ready in order to save time.

  23. I'm looking for a mod that replaces the characters in TSL's menu screen with Darth Malak like in the first Kotor. I know this mod exists because I've downloaded it before but I can't find it anymore. Can anyone help me find it?

    1. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      Alright, I downloaded the mod from Lonebullet and I have no problems. Thank you for putting my worries aside. :)

    2. HK-47

      HK-47

      I've had the same malware warning from both gamefront and lonebullet. Chrome wouldn't even let the download finish.

  24. I'm planning to play TSL with just the Restored Content Mod, M4-78EP and the Ultimate Saber Mod. Where can I expect to see the most major conflicts?

    1. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      I obviously know it's incompatible and that the game will be messy, but I'm curious to see WHY it's incompatible.

    2. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      You've been warned now 3 times. Do not post issues concerning errors about this in this forum Or they will be deleted.

      Might I suggest VP's Holowan Duplisaber? It is updated for 2015 usage whereas USM is stuck in the past.

  25. I've been playing a lot of Dark Forces lately. The DarkXL engine mod adds a few undesirable quirks, but I'm really enjoying the game now.

    1. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      It's been several years since this version came out. Don't get your hopes up.

      How incredibly interesting and conveniently timed. Nice find, HK-47.
