  1. This will be a definite addition to my override folder for sure! I love everything you've done with him so far, from the head and armor reskin to that bone-chilling voice of his. Your'e definitely proving yourself as both a talented and creative modder. I'm curious exactly how you got the implant to work. I know that their are in-game textures for the implants (not the icons), but equipping an implant has no visible effect on the wearer beyond stat changes. The texture seems to be animated, so I'm curious exactly how you got this to work. Also, where did you get that blue Mandalorian armor reskin (had to ask, sorry)?
  2. 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.

  3. Could someone, anyone, get their hands on that grumpy dad skin for Sion by Drewton? I always wanted that version of Sion but it was never released.
  4. This is a really cool mod, you've definitely covered many of the issues people had with previous versions of the planet. With that said, I've had a somewhat buggy experience with the M4-78 Chamber. One more potentially game breaking bug is that if you talk to Kaah about giving him a power core than decide to leave the conversation after presented the option that allows you to take his core, you won't get a second chance to get it from him. The new ending is really cool too and the dialogue splicing is much better. I don't think it was necessary for M4-78's ending to bring up those lines from Visas and Kreia about I'm really questioning how some of the modules were split as portions of the industrial zone often felt unnecessarily small and the FPS wasn't really improved in the same parts from last time. Those are my only critiques, the team definitely improved everything else and now M4-78 is a solid 9.5/10 in my book. Several of these bugs may also be exclusive only to me since I installed this newer version with M4-78 1.3 already installed. I had to make some tweaks to make everything compatible myself and I'm pretty sure all I'm getting now from the mod is the same experience I would've had in a clean runthrough of the mod.
  5. 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? 

  6. To anyone having the floor bug, remove the file HAR_Fl01from your override folder. There are other files in the mod causing all of the really shiny reflections, but that's the main one for the floor. Looks a lot better without it. I'm starting to really dislike the Steam version of this game now.
  7. Who knows, maybe Nihilus and Sion were a little more close during their college days. I consider Nihilus pretty damn broken of a man myself considering he actually has less body than Nihilus does technically underneath those robes. I'm not sure which person of the two has it worse when you think about it.
  8. Question is, who here is the one talking?
  9. Could someone port the full Ubese Assassin model from TSL to Kotor 1?

  10. 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. 😕

      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

      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.

  11. You're my favorite texture artist/designer for the Kotor games. These all look so stunning! You really should consider overhauling Nar Shaddaa. We have so many good texture mods for the other locations already (minus M4-78) and while Nar Shaddaa does have some texture mods, in my opinion, they're all awful. I've been wanting your take on Nar Shaddaa ever since I first saw some of your animated textures.
  12. I'm sorry, ya this is just a vanilla bug and I looked up to how to fix it. It was just coincidence it used the Star Forge dialogue.
  13. Something really strange happened to me in game, I was at Manaan finding my 3rd Star Map and I went to the Swoop Race circuit there and talking to the guy who sets it up, I get a message about how I released one of the Jedi prisoners from the Star Forge. Then I get an error Node passage. Trying to talk again just results in him asking if I'd like to race again, then cuts to the error node message right after it.
  14. The assets are all really cool looking and the mappers and modelers certainly know their stuff, but is this going to be an actual game? lol no. Maybe if the team continues at this pace for the next 20 years we will have a complete game, but determination of projects like this tend to die off eventually once they realize the full scale of how unreachable their ambitions are.
  15. There is probably no correlation, but isn't it neat how this track was intended to be used for Sleheyron and it's called the "unknown world"? Sleheyron is pretty unknown about if you ask me.
  16. In terms of decision making, who do you think is the worst Jedi?

    1. Spectrometer

      Spectrometer

      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).

    2. 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.

  17. 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.

      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.

      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.

  18. I'm fully aware that TSLRCM is incompatible with the USM and while I'm perfectly ok with that cause my Saber modding in the Kotor games never really got to crazy minus that mod, I still really miss some of the unique saber hilts, like Darth Nihilus' and Darth Sion's hilts. They were super cool! I know we have a few mods here that port over those two hilts and several others, but they're gigantic mods that I really am not interested in. So my request is for someone to port over only those two hilts for their respective Sith lords, with proper script fixes and UTI/UTC edits for all cutscenes, old and new from TSLRCM so that they'll always been seen with their USM hilts if they are holding a saber in the cutscene or battle.
  19. @JCarter426As a reference. It's definitely shorter than other sabers, even taking Rebel's wacky saber logic into account.
  20. Sine the Darksaber is a rather short blade, wouldn't it make more sense to make this a shortsaber as well?
  21. 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.

  22. 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.
