Thanks guys. I'll let you know what we have in terms of lines to record. As I said, it was a preliminary role call. I will PM you guys with some more information. Anyways, if it hasn't been established before that MVI is going beyond the realms of simple restored content, this bit of info will seal the deal. This is just a render, a concept of what I would like for it to do in-game, but I'm still working on the whole "getting it in the game" segment. I've done it before without the lightmaps, and I'm sure with the added lightmaps it won't be hard, I've just been having to deal with compatibility issues with KAurora and Win7... blech. I even had to contact SithSpecter to figure out why it wasn't exporting earlier.... small steps at a time.

I missed it a bit too. For some games it worked, but for others it didn't. The thing I'm looking for at least is a legitimate way to gain extra XP by simply putting a little extra time into the game. Level grinding would fall under that, and respawning animals is the best way, really.

Well, production has resumed for the moment. Can't say it will stay as such for too long since I'll be starting school soon (3 classes + full time job). But we're going for the moment. One thing that was sort of on our minds but never really came into the forefront of things now is.... *drumroll* Voice Overs! I've been writing up dialog for some of the characters in the mod, and of course, one crucial thing to think about is what voice will be saying these words. Then I have to backtrack and think about character motivation and all that jazz... it's a hassle, but in the end it sounds generally better than the generic "I am a very, very bad Sith Lord" or "There he is, blast him!" Anyways, as an early casting call, who would be interested in providing a few voices for this mod here? Don't worry, there aren't any big roles in the mod that need to be voiced. They're pretty much all enemies, so we're able to add that "radio' effect to the voices (akin to a Sith soldier). Zhaboka is already in - and even if he wasn't, he still is Me, I'm in because I'm making the mod and I'm doubting my ability to find enough willing souls. ... so yeah... -VP

Which part? The part that it's awesome, or that it was released 5 years ago? Because I haven't even been here that long.

FFM = Full Force Mod. It's one of my older, more downloaded mods. It adds some cool, yet balanced Force Powers. Was planning on making a pack 2, but I've been working on other things ever since.

Yeah, someone would have to model and skin some holocron models. Wouldn't be hard, but it would then make the mod an *added content* dealio.

Incorrect. It's all there, but unfortunately, the lines are hard to work with. But it would have to fall under a separate project anyways, as some additional content would be required to place it in-game.

Well, as it so happens, Beancounter's mod may be the best thing to do in terms of balancing out the characters. Autobalance.2da is just too wonky to give any good results. Messing with any of the damage multipliers gives insane results, for instance. But yes, the idea is to change up how some items are used (droid items, energy shields, grendades) so that they are relatively balanced between themselves, and THEN adjust the difficulty of enemies according to that.

Not a real large amount, but the stuff I've found is actually some pretty good content. We'll keep hunting until it's all found. You do realize that we've restored more content with each consecutive release, right?

Still quite a bit left. It's hard to say where we'll stop. Part of me wants to say it'll never stop, but I'm sure someone will keep wanting to add and change stuff, which is after all, a good thing.

I'm sure it says TSLRP, an older, failed attempt at a restoration mod. Still fairly easy to confuse the two though.

Oops, sorry. SPOILER ALERT: Obsidian.

Still, I agree with WCH. As our Downloads section grows, we're going to need better organization. I have trouble finding my own mods because I have to browse through all of the files to find them first. Idk if it would be possible to do this, but it would be cool if we could organize the mods with multiple tags. For instance, my Visas Unmasked mod could be tagged as model and/or skin because it contains both. Okay, 90SK's super content mod might be a better example (skins, items, new models). Just throwing ideas out there. I do want this to be waay better than Kotorfiles. Not that we aren't already by simply being active, but good organization will hopefully attract new downloaders and modders alike.

That alcove up on top of the picture? Not quite a landing pad.

The line was from me. I was trying to imagine what someone in a Star Wars universe would use as a cheesy pickup line. the halting is temporary though. As soon as I posted that, I started working again lol. But I'm still bound to the HK Factory and its bug fixes, no telling how long that could take. Plus, I'll be away this weekend so... we'll see. We just wanted to let you know that progress isn't as fast as it was.

It gives me great disappointment to inform you all that development on MVI has halted... ...temporarily at least. Bead and I both have very busy schedules, and it's been hard all year to get things done. To put things in perspective, of what we have completed right now, half of that was done in the first 3-4 months when we started. Now here we are a year later, and we've only gotten so far. We've always said that it will be released "When it's done" and that still will be true. However, Bead brought it to my attention that we should not be leading you guys on with a mod that isn't really going anywhere right now *cough*TSLRP*cough* When will production resume then? Maybe pretty soon. We'll see. As far as I know, the only thing left on my fix list is the few bugs that Hassat Hunter caught in the new 298TEL. The lower level needs some fixes, but I'm still contemplating what I should do. And yes, this means the entire HK50/HK51 activation/confrontation sequence near the end of the Factory. Either way, it won't happen 'til at least TSLRCM 1.9. At any rate, to tide you guys over until the next update, here are some screenies.

The game plays fine on my computer, it's just that the pixel shading effects don't work at all (which in hindsight, could be my graphics card, and not actually Windows 7)

I don't get how you can compare the two. They're similar in some aspects, but they're quite different games in concept. I'm fine with how they both turned out. ME2 could have been a bit more like ME1 though

Probably because you're supposed to be able to have the conversation anywhere. If you added the animations, he would sit down ANYTIME you had the conversation, whether or not on the Ebon Hawk.

Send me the ascii for the bith head. I shall attempt to fix it.
