Can we get some comparison screenshots?

Now I'm curious!

@1Leonard -Gives smug quick dismissal

-said dismissal blatantly shows you skimmed my post at best.

Have a look at this:
"Rebalance the narrative to present good counterarguments to her interpretation in-story (both spelled out in dialogue and implied through actions in scenes) and also maybe tone Kreia the f*** down in places. Or, in lieu of toning her down, maybe change the story so that the Jedi Masters are overtly trying to draw her out (only to get more than they bargained for)? Just rewrite things around her hard enough that the game as a whole isn't cramming her view of the Force down your gullet (even if Kreia herself still is)" There's a suggestion right there! A big one! Since underlining it to make it stand out apparently wasn't good enough to get you to notice it, I've also boldfaced part of it too! There are more like it, just look for the underlines :)))))))))))))

EDIT: The suggestions may be only written briefly in that first post, but I would hope they at least convey the essential idea of the fix. They obviously need fleshing out to be true improvements, but I don't think I ever said that this would be a quick or easy undertaking. It would be a massive pain in the ass and would require either a lot of redubbing or living with silent lines. But enough about KotOR II's story really rubs me the wrong way that I felt like airing my problems and proposed fixes anyway (and slowly picking away at the task when I'm in the right headspace, to see if I get anywhere) to see if anyone else agreed with me or had an interest in taking their own whack at such an undertaking (not as a co-op, mind, especially since all I can do right now is draft rewrites).

 

But here's is the thing: that's not a suggestion. It's not a plan anyone can work with. You only give vague details in the story you disagree with. 

"Rebalance the narrative to present good counterarguments to her interpretation in-story (both spelled out in dialogue and implied through actions in scenes) and also maybe tone Kreia the f*** down in places. Or, in lieu of toning her down, maybe change the story so that the Jedi Masters are overtly trying to draw her out (only to get more than they bargained for)? Just rewrite things around her hard enough that the game as a whole isn't cramming her view of the Force down your gullet (even if Kreia herself still is)

Okay, what does rebalance even mean in this context? What good counterarguments? Tone down what? Where? How? Change the story how? Where specifically? You're asking for a completely different game and expect others to flesh everything out, I.E. doing the actual hard work.

In your walls of text you're only underlining details where the two games disagree with each other. Sure, but that's what always happens in every sequel to a work that was made without a sequel in mind: it has to recontextualize parts of its predecessor (in most cases a complete three act structure) as the first act of a larger structure. Some details will always suffer because of that. For me, there's just nothing in your posts to engage with.

I just don't like this details first, drama last that most people (Star Wars fans in particular) seem to have, which is also why the reception of TLJ was such a mess, but that's a completely different story for a completely different thread

I always sound smug btw, don't take it personally. It has to do with English being my second language, I guess. There's some humor lost.

Good luck on your quest!

-> calls something crap

-> doesn't give any productive suggestions themselves 

Enough internet for the day

Issue #1 is that the mobile settings are overridden so you cannot enable/disable autorun

* If you enabled before installing it is stuck "on" or you cannot enable if installing fresh

Yes you can, but it's now called "Mouse Look"

It's because the whole dialog.tlk is replaced I'd guess

I don't think that's a thing.
On the Steam version(s) there's almost every day a new post about "I can't move after combat" that's caused by those greater refresh rates.

Awesome! Too bad I forgot all the passwords for the accounts I had over there. But there was a nice collection of tutorials and insights if remember correctly. Although I'm sure most of those have been posted here

It is what is causing it, I reinstalled and one by one put the mods I'm using back in each time checking Dxun to see if the cutscene played, and it did every time until I installed HQ skyboxes. I'm discussing it with Kexikus now on the mods page . Have you  ran into this issue only on Dxun or also other planets? 

Only on Dxun, haven't really played any further

The problem is caused by High Quality Skyboxes, I meticulously reinstalled the mods one by one. The cutscenes played fine until I downloaded high quality skyboxes, I'll write @Kexikus

I'm having the same problems, that is so weird if that is truly what is causing it! 

This looks very impressive!

I can’t seem to download the file at all... I use the iOS system but can’t download it... is something wrong?? Or do I need to do other things to access the download link in order to download it?

Use your computer to download and unrar, then put the files on your phone using USB

Ayways, for being ' Oh woe is you! It's messages like these that just show how thin-skinned the fanbase has become. ' you seem to be pretty hurt that people call this movie out for the terrible mess it is.

Nah, just tired of your persecution complex.

I'd also like for you to keep on topic, as you seem to keep avoiding my reactions and avoid directly quoting me so I don't receive any notifications. 
I understand this is the easy thing to do, seeing as I am apparently one of the few people here who don't immediately agree with you.

I have yet to see one of your articles where ALL of the Star Wars fan base is called a nazi, sexist, racist etc. as you keep claiming.

Just want to share it here.

It looks like this movie had a lot of production problems which resulted in the mess it became.

This reddit post sounds believable.

 

This sounds like a child's fever dream

like the narrative that fans ruined Disney Star Wars, we're the worst ever and we drove Kelly Marie (fake) and Daisy Ridley (also fake) off social media,

Oh we're just calling it fake now? Surely you understand that the media calling a subset of Star Wars fans toxic, which is demonstrably true, does not mean they're not calling all fans toxic?

and the often nazi, racist, sexist comparisson and in the fanbase it's not that prevelant.

Oh woe is you! It's messages like these that just show how thin-skinned the fanbase has become.
Let me grab one of those mainstream articles (one of the first Google results for "Star Wars fans mysoginist") and highlight a single line for you.

 It's just sad because that's what the Internet has become. It's become this loud minority. It doesn't seem to me that they represent the majority of the people that saw that movie. People enjoy pushing buttons, in both political matters and matters of extreme trivia."

They are literally not calling the whole fanbase what you're accusing them of.

 I think a real clear sign is that the RoS merch is already on clearance while say- The Mandalorian merch that's now being sold by scalpers, just rises in price.

Yeah Star Wars just isn't cool anymore with young people of today, Marvel is. Mandalorian is more mature and is aimed at the people who were young ten years ago during the prequels.

I just feel animosity for the Trilogy myself, but Rian Johnson's attitude on Twitter has been nothing but despicable most of the time, I've seen several instances of him pretending like the black, asian and trans people critical of him don't exist. Whilst simultaneously using minorities as a shield for his poor decision making, even though he minimised the role of everyone but white people in his film, while focusing in on the poor tortured neo-Nazi.

bruh do you not see the irony in this statement?

On 12/13/2019 at 8:55 PM, Hassat Hunter said:

It's not as much whining about TLJ but predicting marketing. They got something going with Mandalorion and Fallen Order, but I don't think it's enough to push people into TROS before everyone gets pissed off again by said shitfest. Gotta frontload that income before word gets out Disney Star Wars is finally dead.

Nah it's absolutely whining about TLJ. Most people here live in some kind of dream world where TLJ was a financial and critical disaster and forever besmirched the reputation of Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy.

Remember all those videos predicting KK getting fired a year ago? I don't think those critical of the new trilogy have their finger anywhere close to the cultural pulse of our society. 

Great to read all these balanced takes in this thread!

"You Jedi act all prim and proper, but inside you must feel the same way I do about the lesser, non-human species. The Sith at least let their feelings show on the outside."

Doesn't make sense that a non-human would be calling himself a lesser species.

Or he makes a distinction between non-human species like himself and other, lesser non-human species.

But that's semantics and I think you're probably right.

Also I will need to recruit a texture artist to reskin the modules and a talented scripter.  But that's in the near future for now I am busy with world building, audio, npc's, dialogue, and items.  Well that's all for now.  When I get the modules retextured I will post screenshots.

So what exactly have you done the past year and a half?

I've installed K1R without the Iriaz modules but they still show up?

Also this caused the Mandalorian on the Matale Ground to become non-hostile.

How could I fix this?

There's the proof of it's existence in the twitter post in the video and in the description for the video, as well as other links.

Perhaps I misunderstand what there is no proof of. Or maybe you're having a bad day and need some cheering up?

 

Wasn't there when I posted my comments. I'll reserve judgment until I see gameplay.

The author of the video of the Bastila model said that it's not made for this remake, but was made by someone that was recently made part of the team, before they became part of the team.

 

Which he pulls out of his ass and has no proof of whatsoever.

I really haven't been following the progress of the fan made remake.  But this video was recommended to me by YouTube.  It's about the revealing of Bastila's model. 

 

I hate to use this term, but this is actual fake news.

This model was a fan creation and has nothing to do with the apeiron project.

(I don't know why this bothers me so, but it does. Maybe it's that the author of this video just made stuff up for clicks.)

Well, they were originally just a bunch of kids playing in Unreal, but recently they either hired or convinced a legitimate professional to help them. 

You can see someone reminded them of the fact that they actually need non player characters in.. you know a story-driven game, evident by the character placeholders in their more recent screenshots. 

But that's just not how you would create a working game. You don't just go putting out assets without rhyme or reason. What you should do is to put out a "Vertical slice", a very small level containing all major gameplay elements of the game. In the case of Kotor that would be:
navigating maps,
changing equipment,
combat,
levelling up,
dialogue,
completing quests and gaining dark side/ lightside points.

If you do it that way, when you find something that doesn't work or is very difficult to implement, you're still able to easily fix it. 

For example, say I want to remake mario 64. I could model all 15 or so levels that are available (not counting all variations per level for each star course) and put out screens and videos of these levels over the course of a couple of years without even touching the gameplay part. OR you could create a small level that includes a working player model and (nearly) all the necessary physics and moves that are in the original game.

Look at the discription, this small level took two weeks to make. How long has Apeiron been taking now?

Edit: Ah darn, completely missed DP's post. Needless to say, I agree with him.

It's been 2.5 years or so. Do they have a vertical slice yet? Have they released any gameplay? A working quest? A working script? Anything besides environments?

The horror... 

 

I finished watching this. I cringed. A lot.

All this energy hating on Kathleen Kennedy would be better served doing something actually productive.

Thinking firing KK will change anything is like thinking firing Ellen Pao changed anything at Reddit.
(If people don't understand what I mean by this I'd be happy to further clarify this, but I'm short on time these weeks)

I think the issue here is that its not the fact that the director told us Landos pansexual, but that the director felt the need to tell us that Landos pansexual (also one director saying Landos pansexual does not mean he is canonically). You will find most SW fans arent upset about more diverse themes being brought into SW, but they are upset that these themes are becoming the forefront of what Star Wars is. I for one would have preferred a slight nod that he could be pansexual instead of a director having to tell us this in an interview.

Him being pansexual  isn't even a point in the movie so the nod literally could not be smaller. It's not like you are forced to watch interviews with the director or have to furiously follow every twitterpost of people you know will outrage you, as some people are apparently apt to do. 

If you even believe he is a pansexual. The only time L3 mentions that he supposedly has feelings for her it's played off for laughs. Him going after L3 after she dies does not have to  mean he loves her either, but sees her as a friend or companion.
