I love the challenge coin! I think I just pointed out people say it has no purpose other than decoration, but I personally think they're super cool.

Not sure if any of the rest of you got in on the Limited Run editions of KOTOR but the Master Editions finally got sent out this week. If you didn't, I made a simple unboxing video to show what is inside! Definitely check it out. The master edition is full of cool stuff, and I'm super happy with it. Best parts of it are the hard cover strategy guide, full of tons of info about nearly every aspect of the game (I'm curious if anyone here knows if any strategy guide from the past was used for it?), the security spike USB drive, the saber replicas, and the Ebon Hawk pin. Check it out!

Hey guys! We over at JKHub got the chance to interview a handful of the developers of Jedi Outcast for the 20th anniversary on March 25! It ended up being 2 hours long and full of amazing conversations. Check it out if you missed it! News post

Ah, you are correct. I added my saber to the list and pointed one of the existing color crystals to it and it appears to have worked. Thanks!

I'm a bit rusty when it comes to KOTOR modding, but I haven't seen this happen. I added a saber as a new item (not replacing the existing ones) and it works fine, but I can't upgrade it. When I go to the workbench, I select the saber, and it disappears from the workbench and my inventory completely. I haven't found any threads about this. Is that normal or am I missing something?

I came into this expecting an HQ saber blade mod but this is probably even better. Nice job.

At JKHub we require author's permission to be uploaded, and if it's granted, we move the file to a neutral account, and make sure the author's name is the biggest font and saying it's theirs. If someone can't reach the author at all, we allow it to be uploaded if it's been longer than 30 days since they attempted contact. And we have a link for the original author to contact us if they want it taken down. That's handled completely by us, no need to even tell the uploader because it's not even their file. We do ask for proof of attempted contact with a timestamp, like from an email or PM or something. That way we can show the author an attempt was made. We made that the new policy because we understand that a lot of JK modders simply moved on from the community completely, and probably will never return to upload their files. But if they knew FileFront was gone and JKHub was the main place for their mods to be downloaded, I'm pretty confident they'd be okay with it. And if not, we can take it down. Obviously this is a grey area, especially around here, but we feel it's the best compromise we could reach.

It's not a matter of preserving mods, its the ill-intent of some people that upload them and take credit OR certain modders specifically don't want anyone to upload their content places without their permission. Even if you give credit or show that the real author made it, they didn't give permission to be uploaded anywhere but where they uploaded it. However we have a semi-loose rule at JKHub about this. I believe it's black/white here as far as that goes.

It's a full backup, yes. However he doesn't have permission to host them from both FileFront or the authors of all those mods. He's doing it at his own risk. I don't recommend doing it here, to avoid the risk of being labeled as thieves, etc.

I'm surprised people aren't drooling over wanting these in-game.

Pretty sure they've hinted at a new Bioware RPG, haven't they? I know they've been treating the new SWTOR expansions as such, but I'm fairly certain there was confirmation of a new Bioware SW game slated for the future. Either way, its not really about competition. It's something they could be capitalising on, but have decided not to. It's their brand, their IP. Not only that, but they have a contract with EA for them to deliver SW games. Lucasfilm asked EA if they'd bring in the indie studio doing Galaxy in Turmoil, because LF was willing to negotiate a deal, but EA can't just randomly bring in another studio under their publishing. That's a huge deal. Same would go for the people behind Apeiron.

Did they see what happened to Galaxy in Turmoil? http://frontwirestudios.com/the-future-of-galaxy-in-turmoil/ And that was only supposed to be based on Battlefront. A complete remake of a game is going to no doubt get a call from Lucasfilm. If what happened to those guys doesn't stop these guys, then only the phone call itself will.
