  1. If my theory is correct, I'll soon be able to modify mdls in binary format.

      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!

    4. LiliArch

      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.

  2. Telos is the Manaan of TSL.

  3. Me and FS are working on some modding magic. Run while you can.

      Sithspecter: :D Great interpretation! :)

      Leonard, actually both.

      You've got my attention :)

  4. Sorry about being unresponsive, I was sick.

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Are you better now?

    2. LiliArch

      LiliArch

      Hopefully.

  5. I wonder where that lightmapping tutorial on my hard drive came from. I can't remember downloading it.

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Try checking the posts you made here around the time you downloaded the file. Perhaps that might refresh your memory?

  6. There's holes in Goto's yacht.

  7. So it seems that a module's lighting is built with three completely separate pieces. Am I right?

    1. Sithspecter

      Sithspecter

      There are lightmaps that provide the majority of the lighting and shading, AuroraDLights which provide some module lighting as well as shadows for NPCs, placeables, etc, as well as AuroraLights which provide additional amounts of character lighting, and maybe more.

    2. LiliArch

      LiliArch

      That is what I figured. Good thing I was not pefectly wrong. :)

  8. So, if I want to make a planet-adding mod compatible with other planet-adding mods, do I need permission from all of those mod-makers, as I need a piece of script from all of them?

    1. Rece

      Rece

      I don't believe you need permission to make mods compatible with others. I'm making my module compatible with BoSSR and don't need permission, but then again, I'm not going to be the one making the script for it.

       

  9. The fun of KotOR modding: using half a day trying to find out why a script doesn't work, just to realize that the utc it's attached to is not used by the game at all.

    1. Mandalore

      Reading this makes me miss modding...

    2. VarsityPuppet

      VarsityPuppet

      One of the funs of programming in general

    3. LiliArch

      LiliArch

      Indeed, but usually when you do the program yourself from the start, you know which files you are using... and yes, I mean usually.

  10. Got my graduation papers at last. Party time!

    1. LiliArch

      LiliArch

      Even if I'm not now a "software engineer" as I believed but a "software developer". Title translations can be so confusing sometimes.

    2. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Congratulations!

  11. Can't decide if I should crash my TSL or fix it, after all.

    1. LiliArch

      LiliArch

      Got stuck in a mod conflict that disables half of the mods installed.

    2. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      I'm going to play devil's advocate and suggest fixing it and here's why: it'll be an interesting learning experience for you.

    3. LiliArch

      LiliArch

      I actually was going to fix it anyway, but only after I've first seen how far I can get... but now I can't even start all of the added quests, as several mods overwrite modules from each other. Guess I have to dump them together and see what hilarious results I can get (well, except crashing my graphics card).

  12. Installed way too many mods with TSLRCM. If I won't get any serious compatibility issues, I'll be veeery disappointed.

      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.

  13. Zhaboka, you rock.

  14. Windows registry, I hate you.

    1. Dastardly

      Dastardly

      Don't worry. I'm sure it hates you too ;)

  15. Succesfully hex-added a missing GoggleHook to a head model. Man, I feel pro.

  16. Time for some serious modding! Now where to start...

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Textures for Trex's "The Jedi Masters 2.0'?

    2. LiliArch

      LiliArch

      That could be interesting, too.

  17. Getting inspired by Doctor Who, Mass Effect and Tron. Combined with my personal SW AU, this can't promise any good.

  18. That's magic, I made cube maps work on a 10-year-old laptop. Just needed to scale them to be 2^n x 2^n, and abracadabra. Not all of the area models seem to show them, though, and I can't see any difference with bumpmap attached or not, but still - my game looks much better now.

    1. LiliArch

      LiliArch

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

    2. Fair Strides

      Fair Strides

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

    3. LiliArch

      LiliArch

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

  19. Odyssey engine is confusing.

    1. LiliArch

      LiliArch

      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.

    2. VarsityPuppet

      VarsityPuppet

      I've had random unexplained crashing during cutscenes.

    3. Fair Strides

      Fair Strides

      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.:)

  20. I'm totally confused here. KAurora works fine now, except the little fact that walkmesh render window is perfectly empty.

    1. Sithspecter

      Sithspecter

      That's never worked at all for me.

    2. LiliArch

      LiliArch

      So it's not necessary for making walkmeshes to work?

  21. I'd really love to know why TSL has started to crash my graphics card instead of the game itself.

  22. Half a dozen cutscenes manuscripted, and now I realize I can't use them. That's smart.

    1. Sithspecter
    2. LiliArch

      LiliArch

      Because they don't fit anywhere! Some are simply too long, so they would be fine with some cutting, but the others, well...

  23. The moment when you watch Mira at Malachor and find yourself wondering what is Fair Strides doing in your game...

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Just what until you see Vriff's and my icons appear in it. I've done all three.

  24. It seems my savegame pack is ~380 MB compressed. If I split it to 50 MB pieces, will I be able to upload it, or am I going to hit some storage limit?

    1. LiliArch

      LiliArch

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

    2. Tyvokka

      Tyvokka

      I have updated the file limits so upload away.

    3. LiliArch

      LiliArch

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

  25. Ohh crap, now I want to design signs.

    1. LiliArch
    2. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

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

    3. LiliArch

      LiliArch

      It has inhabitants not trying to shoot everything that moves. :D 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.
