  1. TSL comes out. Not liked by some because the previous installment followed Star Wars story beats to a tee. This one is more unexpected and deconstructs some of the lore of the Force. Over the years the hate dies down and it's now considered good. TLJ comes out. Not liked by some because the previous installment followed Star Wars story beats to a tee. This one is more unexpected and deconstructs some of the lore of the Force. (We are now here).

      Oh, and let's respect others here and use PM to continue the discussion if you wish. We don't need to bombard 1Leonard or anyone else with notifications of this.

      Well, your true on some points, I did not expect Earth in my Star Wars movie. Guess I should have lowered my expectations from a movie set in a galaxy far far away. Silly me...

      Shouldn't even expect a good movie? Are you hearing yourself?

  2. That's too bad. Just goes to show that "It's a mod" is not a legal defense.

      @Squall Lionhart VP's theory is that EA outsourced this to LucasFilm as a way to avoid more negative backlash from the star wars community, which makes ample sense.

      Apathy is death... I mean Apeiron is dead. Finally nothing prevents us from giving KotOR proper modernization without removing its magic.

  3. I like The Force Unleashed

      I think The Force Unleashed is overrated tbh. Gameplay was fresh for 2008, but the story, though well-designed, was a bit linear.

    3. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      I like The Force Unleashed, too! I think it's a pretty decent game. I always enjoy playing it.

      Doesn't hold a candle to the old Star Wars classics, but it's alright. If you want a fun new experience playing it, download the vader mod for it that lets you play as vader throughout the whole campaign.

  4. Looking at all the production troubles, Solo was way better than it had any right to be.

      I'm not a native English speaker either, it's clearly a (admittedly overused) figure of speech. A simple search would have shown you that.

      Apparently I should resist my urges to make jokes about figures of speech (it never conveys well via text). Sorry about that.

    4. 1Leonard

      No harm done! It just came across as passive-aggressive rather than a joke.

  5. Who was Mira's father?

      Well that's probably restored by TSLRCM, right? Who knows what its origins are. Could be it was based on some idea that got cut early on.

      Thanks @zbyl2!

      If I had to guess, it'd be Canderous (I would not really like this), as far as I know he is the only one who kreia repeatedly describes as a beast/predator. 

  6. I still think "Meetra Surik" is such a dumb name

      I think Sith Holocron is a dumb name.

      :D I don't dislike it, but I grew up with a red cat named Mitra and in dutch (my native language) that's pronounced just like Meetra.
      Surik is a (very small) village in Iran.

  7. First mod released :)

      Great mods 1Leonard, especially the class clothes for consulars and sentinels, thank you!

  9. I hope 2016 will be a golden age for KotOR Modding :)

      It is looking to be :D

      It is my impression that we are currently in a new golden age of KotOR modding!

      Expect TSLRCM 1.9, 2.0 and 3.214 ;)

  10. Upcoming Revan figure in the Black series is looking pretty good.

      Canderis

      Did that just make him canon?

    3. 1Leonard

      1Leonard

      No. It's a fan's choice. Action figures have never made anything canon. Currently only new stories have the power to do that. I'm looking at the new episodes of Star Wars Rebels for that

  11. I do not like The Force Unleashed 2

    1. Mephiles550

      Mephiles550

      I got it on steam for 2 bucks. Must've been a year since I got it

      Still haven't played it.

      From what I've heard and briefly seen, TFU2 is basically a stormtrooper slaughter simulator.

      Pretty much, that and take down an AT-ST with the same quick time event over and over and over (x100).

  12. Anyone got a good way on how to make portraits?

    1. Rece

      Rece

      You could do what I would do (look at my WIP head mod) take a picture up close like that and cut the head out and paste on a white background. Use a gradient tool and make it brown or whatever your desired color is for the background

    2. DarthTyren

      DarthTyren

      I make mine by importing the head and body I want into Max, manipulate it to stand as I want it, get a good image of the head and shoulders, import that image into PhotoShop, cut the black background out, and make a new layer with a black to white gradient, which I play ith to get the best result.

  13. Saw Episode VII yesterday :)

  14. Finished Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal yesterday, what a journey it was.

    1. Salk

      Salk

      Have you played the EE version or the original? There are many excellent modifications for both.

    2. 1Leonard

      1Leonard

      Played the EE version. And yes, as far as I know, most if not all mods are compatible with it. I'm going to take a break from infinity engine games though, played through Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate I and II one after the other. I'll certainly revisit them though! And I still have to play the Icewind Dale series sometimes.

  15. I always feel a little sad when I finish TSL :(

    1. milestails

      Knowing that there's no continuation?

  16. Does anyone here have some documentation saved on how UV mapping works on KotOR models?

    1. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      How do you mean? How it is stored in the MDL file, or something else? There's nothing special in general terms.

    2. Fair Strides

      Fair Strides

      Nothing special like DP says, but a quick run-down is this:

       

      Each vertex has a UV position (like 0.99 0.99) which is an XY point on the texture.

       

      Each vertex in a face has one of those UV coordinates, and the space that face uses is calculated between those three XY coordinates.

       

      Lastly, each of those coordinates is a percentage between 0.0 and 1.0, which is why the texture doesn't always benefit from being upscaled.

  17. Why does skinning take such an unbelievable long time?

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      It's the tax for OCD. ;)

  18. Just saw TFA a second time. It differs more from IV than I initially thought (please don't start fighting again guys ;) )

    1. Domino5555

      Domino5555

      Don't worry. I enjoyed it with my brothers and grandparents.

  19. Just finished Planescape: Torment for the first time ever! What a great game...

  20. Anyone have any documentation on creating new area models?

    1. Sithspecter

      Sithspecter

      Uh, I've been meaning to do something like this. I have an old tutorial from Quanon if you want it. If you PM me I'm happy to answer questions you might have.

  21. Well I for one can't wait for all the new 36-hour critical analyses by all the Youtube "skeptics" with an anthropomorphised animal or object in their logo. Gotta earn that dough!

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Does that apply to the M478 documentary?

  22. Right now playing through Jedi: Fallen Order. I think it's suprisingly fun! The combat is a bit crummy and the enemies track too much, but I'm enjoying my time.

    1. Stormie97

      Stormie97

      Easily the best game to have come out since EA got the rights. It's a real shame that Project Ragtag from Visceral was cancelled though.

  23. I made a Steam Guide on installing mods in cooperation with the Steam Workshop. Read it here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=488641307

  24. I've been skinning a new head from scratch and it shows me yet again that you learn by doing.

  25. 90% of modding is tweaking things you already did.
