LiliArch

No go spacebar-ing through it I gather?

Seems like the bug has been around for years but still no confirmation of the cause.

Does the week of sub from a referral give you forum/support access?

@lili If you decide to settle in Begeren Colony, let me know!

@Parametric: Nah, it's not like I couldn't afford buying a subscription (technical issues aside), I'm just irritated because a bug in software code is not a force majeure that should free the company from their promise. I screwed that character anyway, so I may just as well start over and see if I reproduce the issue or not.

@VP: will do.

I could check it, all right. I'm not sure how much I can see without playing through the whole game with that mod combination, but at least I COULD check it.

Sorry SH - I PM'd her the link, didn't thing of providing it to you too

Thanks SH! But I'm not going to skip ahead. Think I should finished the KotOR playthrough first and then will see what The Sith Lords put on the table. Not going to lie if I already know the twist of the KotOR's plot but not all the details; and that's what I wanted to find out. Hats off to the maker of this playthrough though, lots of effort on this one I am certain.

In all seriousness though, Kreia usually makes sense even when she’s cryptically lying, so I get quite confused about writer’s intent when I can’t wrap my mind around something.

For the record - I’ve been pondering with and without the help of the LP, and I think I can finally say I get what Kreia is saying. The manner she delivers that line is even more confusing as usual, and the lack of difference she seems to give between what may be a feat and what is a requirement is what keeps throwing me off the track, but she tends to be extreme like that, at least from what I gather.

That should work. You'll need to create new vertexes by duplicating existing ones, but then you can move them to wherever you want them to be. Nodes can be added by similar method.

Pics or it didn't happen!

It's still just a theory. I'll need to write a few hundred lines of code to verify it. I could show picks of the walkmesh editor I've been practicing with, though.

Computer science.

To be honest, the thing I’m mostly worried about is money. 😕

As a bitter old man who has done a number of degrees, let me pass on this: the piece of paper you get at the end is essentially worthless. How worthless varies somewhat depending on the field, but ultimately all it really amounts to is a tick of one box on a long list you'll be measured against when trying to get a job. My advice would be to try and get as much real world experience as you can during your undergrad so you actually have something meaningful on your CV once you get the piece of paper. The world is awash with degree graduates. Make sure you come out of your degree with something that helps you stand out from the pack.

It’s a bit late for that, since I’m technically a bachelor already (trading that for a master’s degree). Technically. I mean, the degree I have is not exactly a bachelor’s (other than in English, anyway) but it equals (Finland’s schooling system may be a bit confusing). Not that it would have done me any good. One of the reasons for me to apply was to get something reasonable to do, since it seems to be impossible to get a job anyway (without having years of experience, which is impossible to get if you never get a job without experience in the first place. It’s crazy, but I probably don’t need to tell you that). Here’s hoping I’ll be able to build some connections at least.

I think he is probably more nuanced than that, depending on which version you are talking about, but I don't follow comics much, especially DC, so I can't claim more than a passing knowledge.

The Christopher Nolan film was what I was referring to

I don’t recall what happened in that film, but I definitely agree with you, especially as an answer to my original question. After all, I didn’t ask what makes villain an interesting character, and I seriously doubt that a character who acts solely out of malice would suddenly be not-villain due to their lack of noble goals.

I'm with Canderis. Links? I don't actively follow it.

HK-47: You're on a Star Wars site of discussion about the franchise and about the games that have now been disowned, and you expect people to not discuss and express their opinions? You just did the same by complaining about others complaining...

Moved to P.M.

DarkChocolateJedi got it right, so no, there's no link. There's just the Force.

We don't you want going anywhere else!

Haven't seen you in the chat for a while

I probably wouldn't leave even if you would insist that (I can be mean that way) but thanks for cheering me up. :|

@Dastardly, I'm sorry. Haven't really felt chatty for a while. I've burnt out, and chat room turning into a warzone when I'm in there (which happens more often than I'd like) doesn't really help in that matter.

It's generally not an issue these days, but at launch some class quests were extremely difficult without good gear and/or being overlevelled. The Jedi Knight's final class quest at 50 was famously virtually impossible to solo at launch.

Oh, right, THAT one. Heh. It was pretty frustrating, yes. I had to set T7 as Tank to cheat him being attacked with that one-hit-kill Force push instead of me, so yes, I can see your point. (I finished Smuggler and Knight as F2P so end battles were lvl-50.) They seem to have changed something there, indeed, Sith final class battles are ridiculously easy (since they're on Korriban, so final bosses are somewhat lvl 12...) which looks pretty badass but less convincing.

I'd also add regarding grouping for class quests that if nothing else it helps expedite the process, especially at lower levels. TOR's design is typically just endless corridors of trash mobs with a cutscene and a boss mob at the end, so having someone else along (especially with higher level AoE abilities) can really speed things up.

I searched for some pictures about TSF uniforms and noticed that there's some kind of round thing inside a square in the middle of their chestplate and shoulder straps (http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070224025231/starwars/images/3/3c/Tsforce.JPG). Grenn has same thing in his chest, though it's in different location. I wonder if that's supposed to be the symbol, though if so, it looks quite dumb.

I can try to make one if you like. Do you prefer silver or gold?

Both, if you don't mind.

Everything HK said is true, but the thing that confused me here is that the Tavion NPC in particular should not have been able to escape the boundary line. I've been playing this game for years and thought I memorized every minor detail of the boss fights. Maybe the collision with Tavion on the player temporarily halted the boundary? For all of the times I played that boss, even with cheated force powers, I could never push her off.

I didn't push her, she jumped on my head and bounced (she was jumping from the top of her ship, and I was standing on top of one of those crate-like things). It would have looked pretty weird if she would have halted mid-air by an invisible wall when she met the boundaries, I think. Nonetheless... what I am most confused about is why she decided to land on Kyle's head in the first place. I don't think I moved, instead I was trying to figure out which side of me she was going to la...

Just pure luck on your part. Force enemy NPCs ocassionally jump on my character too sometimes.

Or Scandinavia?

Who said I live in North Dakota?

I figured SH meant it would be where ”state of general cynicism” is located in North America?

Yeah, it could have turned out quite nasty. Although the realization that I could have died without even knowing is way more frightening than the actual incident. (I was napping on the back seat, so pretty much all I gathered was a ”whoa”, a sharp turn, and a ”thunk”. Luckily the deer was already mostly past the car’s nose at that point. And even more luckily, it wasn’t a moose.)

Glad hear you made it out okay and doing fine, LiliArch. Try not to think about what could of happened, sometimes that leads to anxiety in my own personal experience. Think positive thoughts like something funny you saw on the TV the other day or a joke you heard. That always helped me in the past.

Glad you are OK!

Dominating and bleeding crystals? Good thing I don’t care about Disney canon.

That's Disney for you: trying to get blood from a stone.

I really dislike what they did with that. So yeah, I ignore it... for me a Jedi or Sith can carry any colour.
It's not like we saw Anakin's saber turn red during his fall to the dark side, episode 3 is still canon? Silliness...

Am I the only one that fits in the "madness" part then, hm?

Certainly not. LOL

Well, that's good to know. I was feeling a bit lonely here...

TSL.

Interesting. How will you make your base stand apart from Pergaus?

It has inhabitants not trying to shoot everything that moves. I'm trying to get it look like a post-apocalyptic Wonderland, odd stuff all around the place, remnants of a great battle, and a scent of another story going on behind the scenes.

Simply having the same script return the same results when given same parameters would be enough for me, but obviously even that seems to be too much to ask.

I've had random unexplained crashing during cutscenes.

And working on K1R, I've had random instances where messing with a global and then quitting the game at certain times will make the game CTD instead of actually quitting.

I am interested in hearing more about this solution you are talking about, Liliarch.

I guess shots of two different heads won't do. See, I made that find when I was adding a headgear hook to a head that didn't have it originally. While positioning it correctly I notied that the Vanilla head I was comparing it to had... issues.

@VP - I'm not sure you are. It includes changing coordinates in ascii file, compiling with MDLops, bringing into game to test, and repeating the cycle until it looks good, after which I take the hex values of the coordinates and put the...

...put them into the original mdl.

I'm not perfectly sure how that happened, though. I wrote that part of code 2-3 months ago.

What's the GUI's element name?

That's not important, it's not a game mod (it's the project I need to get finished before starting any serious TSL modding). Sorry if I made you confused.

Sithspecter: Great interpretation!

Leonard, actually both.

You've got my attention

its not worth the download time

Answer: Base game is 20GB. Add the expansions and it's probably another 10GB (voice-overs, lots of voice-overs.).

Admission: Though I could be wrong about the additional 10GB. The last time I had to reinstall my game, I was too busy moaning over my stupidly slow overpriced internet to remember the size.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks, SH. I was wondering if reporting my own post would cause me assigning a warning to myself, or something similarly bizarre. Good to know.

Well banning you would stop the double posting....

That would be a pretty dumb thing to ask for oneself.

Certainly. I got this idea to get "additional" appearance slots by creating character-specific disguises (so they would have that character's head) so they wouldn't look like disguises. But of course certain appearances need to be restricted to certain characters, so I thought that I could make a custom upgrade for every character that would a) set the armor be useable only by that character and set it to be that character's "additional appearance slots" disguis...

...disguise. Ack, half of my text got cut. I need to re-write it.

Adding these custom upgrades to wrong armors would screw up the appearances, though, so I thought that I would create generic "restrict to x" upgrades, and then set the appearance they use per armor -basis. So, installed on a regular armor it would only set it to that specific character, but installed on a additional-appearance-slot-using armor it would set it for that custom appearance. Or, another way would to so...

somehow override upgrade screen so it would show only those items from your inventory that belong in a pre-set custom group, but I don't know if that is possible, either.

I tried to set a feature of an armor to require a certain upgrade, but at least the way Kotor tool set it to me, the game ignores such features. Of course I don't know if that is because I was using a non-custom upgrade, but at least changes to that certain upgrade's uti file made themselves into the game.

Yup, I managed to get them done last weekend. It's ~370-380 saves, I'm not perfectly sure.

I have updated the file limits so upload away.

Thank you. I'll do that as soon as I get a chance.

Any specific model/location? I don't really feel like taking screenshots of every screen possible...

Ehhh, nowhere in particular. Just an area where you think the difference is most obvious.

Gotcha. I'll do that as soon as I can.
