  1. It's my opinion that The Old Republic ruined various different concepts about the Sith. Agree or disagree?

      The idea of Vitiate screwing up the Sith could have worked without the game having all of the problems I discussed previously.

      Why should criticizing their designs be considered nit picking? It's all we've got of them. Whether it be concept art or in game designs, I just don't like their messy designs. All we had of Kotor designs for a while was their in game designs and some concept art.

      Revan's story in TOR is ok. I got some problems with it, but it's alright....

      Funny thing is that Vitiate is the one I have most grudge against. Also, those shoulder pads ARE insane. I keep wondering how they get through doors with them.

  2. What's happening with the BOS 2.0 mod installer? Is it still being worked on?

    1. Fair Strides

      Fair Strides

      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.

  3. 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.

  4. So in Kotor 1 Restoration, when you convince Hurka to take you past the guards after opening the bridge door, are you supposed to be teleported directly behind the airlock next to the room with the Dark Jedi or is my game glitching on me?

  5. Theoretically speaking, would it be possible for a version of TSLRCM + M4-78 to be ported to the Xbox version of TSL? I'm curious since I've seen alpha maps of M4-78 and the HK factory work on it.

    1. bead-v

      bead-v

      Well, if an xbox version of TSLRCM and M4-78 was made, then yes. The big problem has always been that the MDL format is different on xbox, so it was impossible to get any models to work. This will be possible in the future though, so theoretically speaking, yes :)

    2. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      I just looked up some of the restrictions, which include the inability of using custom mdl/mxl files, textures higher than 256x256 and usually any MOD files. What do you mean it'll be possible in the future?

      New tools, perhaps?

  6. I really wish there was a way for this to have gotten in the game as an alternative ending somehow
    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      And my video makes another appearance.

  7. So many appearance problems in Kotor could be fixed if Kotortool could detect custom appearances properly like KSE could. D:

    1. djh269

      djh269

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

    2. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

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

    3. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

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

  8. Quanon made a Jolee reskin, didn't he? I can't find it anywhere.

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      I've asked Quanon to comment as he's on right now.

    2. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Oh - and thanks!

      I havent releases it just yet. Expect it soon. I just need to pack it all up and take few extra screenshots ☺

  9. 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.

  10. Testing out TSL on Steam now. It's both funny and irritating seeing all of the older mods be uploaded to the Steam-workshop without any proper credit to the original author.

    1. djh269

      djh269

      I think they shot themselves in the foot with how you install the mods also. I always download one small mod and place the rest of my mods into that folder.

  11. Really nice of Battlefront to provide a large bonus in credits today. Gave me an excuse to waste time racking up points on a video game instead of working on my finals. Don't know if I regret that or not.

  12. 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.

  13. 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/

    1. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

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

      Well well well.. turns out the rumors were false

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

  15. 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

    2. VarsityPuppet

      VarsityPuppet

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

    3. Jorak Uln

      Jorak Uln

      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.

  16. 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.

  17. Lol, Happy Birthday Darth Nihilus!

  18. Yesterday was a great learning experience. Before yesterday, I knew next to nothing about 2DA files outside of how to merge them. Now after having made extensive edits to three different 2DA files, I feel like I can add a lot more variety to Kotor. :)

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Good to hear! What do you have in mind?

    2. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      I've already, for the most part, fixed my issues with wearing Darth Bandon's armor by modifying 2 different 2da files. I've also made some edits to lightsabers and their crystals via the upcrystals.2da file and I've made some old mods that use an appearance file manually compatible by only taking some parts of what I want from them.

  19. 2DA files... so messy. Ugh

  20. K1 Override is now 4.5 GB. New personal record? :P

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      What mods are you using?

    2. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      A bunch of graphics mods, several small mods, bits and pieces from other mods, and my own personal tweakings. It all looks balanced and polished in the end, but let's just say I couldn't use K1R for compatibility reasons. I did download it so I could get the script files for the restored rough-cut Wookie crystal for example.

  21. 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.

    3. HK-47

      HK-47

      Oh, and glad to hear you got what you were after.

  22. 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.. :)

  23. 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.

  24. 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.
