    As someone who hasn't liked the previous Disney Star Wars (barring Rogue One),  this has got my attention. Love that duality of Light vs Dark, but I'm hoping this doesn't mimic "Luke vs Vader"  fight with Palpatine on the sidelines coercing Rey to join the darkside (which by the look of the footage, seems to parallel Return of the Jedi...)

    It's JJ so you know it will exactly be like RotJ.

    You should finish the game! It's very good! Probably my fav game ever tied with KOTOR 1. Though like @Ebony Moon said the end game is very sad/not a lot of fun since we  never got a proper conclusion (aka KOTOR 3) and instead we got a book that in my opinion ruined the series since several characters like The Exile and T3 are killed off, Revan is captured for like 300 years and other characters like  Bastila grow old and die and never see Revan again....so yeah all that sucks to me.

    But if you're interested in a fan made KOTOR 3 after finishing K2, then I suggest you try this incredible mod: http://www.the-jedi-masters.com 

    That's why I refuse to accept the book and SWTOR as game canon.  In my head canon the Exile is male and had a threeway with Briana and Visas.   Revan never got captured.  Both of them teamed up against the Yuushan Vong.  Or in my other canon both fell to the darkside and killed each other over who got to rebuild the Sith Empire after dealing with the Yuushan Vong.  But yeah I love both Revan and Jacen (My Exile).  I've had fun playing both characters.  I hate how cheaply the Exile died in the book.   Bastila's fate is sad I did not know that.   It's like I told Ebony Moon in a PM BioWare always had a history of making great characters and them canonizing them in a way that disrespects them.  Obsidian/ Avellone respected Revan by making him a godlike figure.  In fact Avellone respects Revan so much that he said Revan who is not his creation would beat both the Exile and Kreia who are both his creations.  BioWare and especially Karpyshyn disrespected the Exile and made her from unique to mediocre.  I know Vrook says in TSL that the Exile aside from making Force bonds was nothing special, but with Kreia's teachings the Exile became powerful, not Revan level but still powerful.  Plus aside from making Force bonds the Exile had another special attribute.  They could live without the Force as the Exile proved after the Manadalorian wars.  I don't think even Revan could live without the Force.

    I just got done reading your whole post from within my email, and man was that a good read. I really don't mind when people ramble, I could very well do the same lol. Also yeah, my goal for the past week and a half has been to finish up KotOR 1 and 2 so I could eventually go and start SWTOR. I had played the MMO briefly before, but I hadn't got that far into it at all. I wish The Old Republic was a singleplayer experience, but that's just wishful thinking on my part. Thank goodness there is another Star Wars game coming out very soon, that IS singleplayer though. I hope it turns out to be not just good, but great.

     

    And lmao at "Story time with Uncle Canderous", that was pretty funny.

     

    Edit: BTW, the reason it's been taking me so long to finish up K1 and K2 is because I've been sucked into the Civilization series ATM. I love me some strategy games.

    No problem I enjoy strategy games also, and I especially know how addicting the Civilization games are.  I too wish SWTOR was a single player game.  I do not know why LucasArts canceled development of the third game.  But I read an old interview with Chris Avellone lead designer and writer for KOTOR II.  He said Obsidian at the time as well as BioWare were interested in making a 3rd game.  But even he did not know why LucasArts canceled it's development.  The only theory I have is the original game was a massive hit, and the sequel was not due to the game being rushed and incomplete.  Maybe LA figured no one would be interested in a 3rd game?  Even though the reason why the second game was rushed and incomplete was because LA had set an impossible deadline for K2.  This is well documented and can be found using google.

    So with that play the sequel with the TSLRCM it restores most of the cut content to the game, and fixes many bugs that were not fixed.  I say most of the content was restored, because there was a planet that was not restored due to the fact that Obsidian had barely started work on it.  So there was no cut data in the game files, like the other restored content.  But they make no mention of the planet in game so you won't be missing anything.

    So yeah with TSLRCM you pretty much have the complete game. 

    Lastly I'm not an mmo fan but I did buy and subscribe to SWTOR, and despite my reservations it's not as bad as most KOTOR fans would have you believe.  Even though I do not like what they did canon wise with the main characters from the original games, and how it pretty much ignores what K2 accomplished.  The Exile plays a very important role in the KOTOR games but as far as I can tell is never mentioned or their companions.  The only thing I know that is K2 related is some of the music tracks.  With that said I did like that every class had it's own storyline.  For example the Jedi Knight storyline (my favorite) is completely different from the Jedi Consular storyline.  Also like I said I am not an mmo fan, but SWTOR plays mainly as a singleplayer game.  I just thought of the other players as intelligent npc's running around.  But I never finished any of the storylines, because the game got too repetitive for me and it bored me.  But I did enjoy the Jedi Knight story even though I did not complete it.

    Take care and have fun!

  4. I first played both games when they were first released individually on the original Xbox in 2003 and 2004.  Then I bought the retail versions for PC.  Then years later the Steam and GoG versions.  As you can tell I am a KOTOR super fan.  I beat the original game over 15 times on Xbox and it was the game that got me into Star Wars in general.  Before it I never watched a SW movie or played a SW game.  Fast forward to 2019 and I have 30 hours on the GoG version of KOTOR and over 150 hours on TSL.  As you can see I am a big fan of TSL , Chris Avellone, and Obsidian in general.  With TSLRCM the mod has made it better to play.  

    Sorry I have a tendency to ramble on and lose focus.  But my point is both games are great imo, and your favorite might be different from mine.  I love TSL mainly for Kreia (my favorite SW character ever), Darth Sion, and the various companions like Atton.  I think they are a vast improvement over the originals.  Although I still love most of them except maybe for Carth.  But Canderous is one of my top faves in the series.  Love his war stories or as I used to call it story time with uncle Canderous.lol

    There I go again rambling.  Uh what was my point again?  Oh yeah.   No.  You are not a herectic for not finishing TSL.  Maybe you were working at the time?  Maybe you had school work or a family to take care of?  The reasons are many and vary.  At first I thought the original KOTOR was the better game cause I got into the story flow easily.  With the sequel once you get past Peragus and really get to know your companions and their backstories like Kreia and Atton.  You may like it as much as I do.   For me what made the game was the well written characters like Kreia who I keep mentioning.  The story is good and I like that the past ten years of the Exile's life are a mystery so you can make up your own story for it.  Also I know the games are not canon anymore to the movie saga, but they do have a set canon for the game series.  For example DO NOT look up information on SWTOR the mmo.  Although it takes place 300 years later both main characters of the games have been given a gender and name, and both of their fates are revealed.  Being a fan of both characters I hate what EA BioWare has done to them, and refuse to accept it as game canon.  Like how most fans of the original movie trilogy hate what Disney has done to the original characters (Luke, Han, and Leia.)

    So yeah play K2 after the original, because TSL contains many spoilers to the original, and the main character of the original game is referenced a lot.   I know you said you played the original before, but that may have been some time ago and you probably forgot certain things.  TSL will most likely spoil that game for you.  So like I said play them in order.  If you don't care about spoilers play them in whatever order you want.

    Lastly the most important thing is have fun.

  5. This is both a question and a request.  First.  Is it possible to port Darth Malgus to TSL?  Second.  If so can someone talented make the port, so the model could be used as a disguise in game?   I know I know the canon Exile is Meetra, but I do not acknowledge it.  Not because the Exile is female but because she was forgotten, weakened, and tossed away.  She is the Disney Luke Skywalker of the KOTOR series.  Anyway 89% of the time I play TSL I play as a male with the "Jesus" head, and although I am using an old mod called "Dark Harbinger" which gives him an extreme darkside transition.   I would like to look like someone else for a change, so running around Korriban looking like Malgus sounds pretty cool.  So if anyone wants to take on this request, YAY!  If not that is okay no hard feelings. :)  

    Take care everyone!

    Since you haven't checked your PMs {shaking fist}, here's what I sent you.

     Just want to confirm that the following doesn't apply to you:

      Quote

    Yes, for yourself and all others who experience the G0-T0 crash - please remove "P_Gt.tga" and "P_Gt.txi" from Override before playing again.

    Are you sure that neither of those files are in your Override?

    Sorry for not checking the pm, but I do not have those files.

    Sorry that I wasn't much of a help. Hopefully someone else here will prove to be more useful. Good luck!

    It's okay I appreciate the help.  I am a big fan of your work.:)   I was able to make it all the way to the Exile in the audience chamber of G0T0's Yacht.  BUT!!  I found that after fighting the first wave of droids when you board the yacht.  I found that the first bedroom on the right causes the ctd.  I can't even look in that direction without the game crashing.  So I got by by going around the hallway via the many different rooms until I reached the Exile.  It's no cause for celebration yet.  I have to see how the rest of the level goes.  This is the only area that gives me problem.  In my previous playthrough I made it all the way to Malachor V with no problems using 98% of the mods I listed.  In this current playthrough I added a few more and had no problems until boarding G0T0's Yacht.

    Here's a glitched out room on G0T0's Yacht.  It's missing a wall, floor, and security console.

    Clipboard01.thumb.jpg.e78fb899446a0ab669d244cded24adb4.jpg

    Edit:  Okay so I remedied the above bug by exiting the game to desktop, then reloading the game.  When I went back to the room it had walls, a floor, and a security console.  I have now completed the level and am off the yacht.  I have spoken to the Jedi Master and am back on Nar Shaddaa.  If everything goes well and there are no more glitches, I will uninstall the game after this playthrough and reinstall it.  Thank you for your help Sith Holocron. :)

    If you have them, try removing any G0-T0 skins (and related TXI file) and check to see how it goes from a previous save.

    If that doesn't solve it, go into swkotor2.ini and change:

    "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1" to

    "DisableVertexBufferObjects=1"

    Yes I found that fix here on this forum when I had trouble, when G0T0 talks to the bounty hunters when I first arrived on Nar Shaddaa.  But thank you for the reply. :)

    Edit:  I don't have any of those G0T0 files you listed in my override folder.


  9. First I want to say a big thank you to DStoney and the rest of the team for making my favorite KOTOR game better.  Now unto my problem. 

    1) During the game, when did the problem begin to occur?

    When boarding G0T0's Yacht and after fighting the first set of droids my game crashes to desktop.

    2) Did you install the latest version of the mod? (1.8.5 and 1.2 respectively) We only provide assistance for the most current version of those mods.

    Yes, I am running the latest version of TSLRCM.

    3) What version of the game do you have? (Steam, GOG, 4CD, KotOR Collection?) What region is the game designed for if it's the 4 CD version?

    I am running the GoG version which has never given me a problem before, except for when I first go to Nar Shaddaa when they show G0T0 and the bounty hunters on his yacht.  But I found the solution in this forum.

    4) Did you update your game as required by your game's region? (4-CD version ONLY) 

    As far as I know the game has been updated using GoG Galaxy.

    5) Did you install this over the previous version(s), or did you perform a fresh installation as required by the TSLRCM's read-me file?

    Fresh install.

    6) What other mods have you installed? Please give an accurate list and provide links to each of these mods - even if they are found on this site. (We don't actually know them all!.)

    Most of the mods are very old and are from the old LucasForums, Gamefront and KOTOR Files websites.  I played the game with almost 98% of the mods I listed here a few months ago and made it all the way to Malachor V.  I don't know what is causing the problem.  It crashes right after the fight.  The only difference between this playthrough and the last is this time I brought Atton and Bao Dur.  Last time it was Atton and Kreia.

    Can someone help?

     

     

     

     


  10. KOTOR 2 is one of my top SW games higher than the original game.  But I already find the game to be highly accessible.  It only took me the majority of a day to fully mod the game.  The only problem is the Steam version has updated resolutions, while the GoG version doesn't.  On the other hand the GoG version works right of the bat, while the Steam version requires some tinkering.  At least for me it does.  The outdated gameplay does not affect me.  I last played K2 2 months ago and had a blast.  Love me some Kreia.

    I imagine Eastern European accented English.  Mostly because they are a tough bunch (if you've ever met a Slavic woman, you know what I mean), and I personally find a female E- Euro accent very.... seductive and flowing. :)

    But as I am an American (and thereby don't even speak proper English ;) ), what do I know?

    I'm American too and find Eastern European accents hot!  Yes, they are a good fit.

  12. I like the idea of this mod.  As for my thoughts Revan was away during the Mandalorian wars for 5 years?  Then he returned and fought the Republic for another 5 years.  Going by that I would assume Revan and Malak were both in their to mid to late twenties during and after the Mandalorian wars, since it is said that a lot of the younger Jedi followed him to war.  So I would assume during the Jedi Civil War he is mid to late thirties.  

     

    The Exile was away for a total 15 years after the Mandalorian wars.  If he was younger than Revan and I do mean he, I refuse to recognize the canonized version.  Anyway if he was younger he was in his early twenties like 20 or 21 when he left to war.  During the events of K2 that was a total of 15 years later, so that puts his age at 35.  I assume Bastila and the Exile are about the same age with Revan being the oldest.

     

    As for accents I assume they have English or American accents.  Sorry I couldn't narrow it down better.

    I just started playing again. Really miss my former guild. Don't know if I'll be able to put much time into this game without them on anymore.

    I was a member of a guild 2 years ago.  The same week I joined the guild leader vanished.  After several weeks missing I was given control of the guild.  That was the only social interaction I had.  I'm basically a loner and enjoy the single player aspect more.

    Strongholds are shared. You don't need to buy one for each character. All your characters can go to any of your Strongholds, even ones on enemy faction capital worlds (they just can't exit to the planet).

    Oh I did not know that.  As soon as I get off of Tython I will go to it.  I assume Coruscant is next world?

    If you bought it off the Cartel Market, the container is probably bound to you, but you should be able to open it to get the items from it. They will be temporarily bound to you for around 12-24 hours, after which they can be mailed to your alt or put in Legacy storage. Just don't equip the items, as they will be Bind on Equip.

    Oh ok.  What a relief.  How do I mail it?  Or where and how do I use Legacy Storage?  Do I have to buy a stronghold?

    The hologram T3-M4 plays for the Exile in KotOR 2 never mentioned Bastila and Revan having any child. Nothing in KotOR 2 ever mentioned that. Only SWTOR and the Revan novel made Revan and Bastila have a child.

    My mistake then.  I must it read it somewhere else and somehow thought I heard it when T3M4 plays the Bastila hologram.

     

    So subscribed to the six month subscription.  I am playing as a Jedi Guardian.  Despite Revan and the Exile being canonized in the books.  I still enjoy the game.  I had to create a new character cause I like the bulky body type for my guardian.

     

    I think I fucked up.  I bought some Sith outfit via the Cartel Market with my Jedi and I was wondering if there was anyway I could give it to my Sith character?  It's still in a package I have not opened it.

    That and novel also talks about Bastila and her child (son I think). K2 can give the impression that Revan immediately left for the Unknown Regions, but really, there's nothing to indicate that. And the Knight story is the continuation of the whole Revan story (from the standpoint of what happened when he came across the emperor at the end of the Mandalorian War in the Unknown Regions). That story goes K1 -> K2 -> Novel -> Knight story (with Taral V and Maelstrom Prison flash points Pub side -> Boarding Party and The Foundry flash points Imp side before or after Chapter 2)-> the rest of SWTOR to KotET end (doesn't matter if anyone didn't like the story, that's the story).

    Once again thanks for the reply.  I will check it out when I resub.
