View File New Force Power: Retribution New Force Power: Retribution By Alvar007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION: This mod adds a new Force Power to the game: Retribution. It is based on the ability Anakin has in Battlefront 2 from EA. The Power does not check for any saving throws, and it's accessible at any level with any class. But as a counter to this it will consume most of your force points if you are low level. The Power works for both games, just be sure to select the appropriate directory in each case. Includes: · Custom animations. · Custom sounds. · Custom icon and description. INSTALLATION: Just run the .exe that comes with this download and select the game's installation main folder (NOT override). COMPATIBILITY: Keep in mind this mod changes both the throw and choke animations (making this last one fireforget instead of looping), so it will not be compatible with any mod that changes the supermodels within those animations. BUGS: Sometimes not all the enemies will be affected by the Power if they are behind you or really far but inside the Power radius. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS MODIFICATION IS PROVIDED AS-IS AND IS NOT SUPPORTED BY BIOWARE/OBSIDIAN ENTERTAINMENT, LUCASARTS, DISNEY OR ANY LICENSERS/SPONSORS OF THE MENTIONED COMPANIES.

I am not sure what the problem is. Judging by the videos you posted, you want to make the animation stop when the dialog stops and go to the next conversation node instead of waiting for it to finish? In that case, since you are already altering the dialogs, you should be able to put a delay in seconds in the "delay" field for that node. I think that's a much better solution than making it faster because it doesn't look too good. Also, I have attached the female files. They should work without issue. s_female03.rar

Yeah they seem to be fixed at least the part I checked. If they are from K1 CP they probably did a better job than me so you can keep those in your override folder if you want.

Ok so I have removed the eyebrows keys but also the eyelids position keys that were the cause of the glitching shading issue. I have included the new animation with the changes you made previously so it's all merged there. On top of that, while I was testing this out with Tanis model I noticed that his eyes weren't moving, and I realised that his eyes nodes were called eyeR and eyeL instead of eyeRA and eyeLA which is what the game expects because they are called like that in the supermodels and the rest of the models. So I have renamed them and now it looks so much better. There are actually two files of the same model head (I don't know why, the only things that changes it's the texture but whatever) and both of them had the eye nodes wrong. So I included them as well here in case anyone else wants the fix. I don't know if there are any more models with the wrong names, I haven't checked them all. The one Tanis uses is N_TatComA_M, I discovered the other one because I previously thought that was the one for Tanis but it's just the regular asian head. Btw I was testing this with the vanilla Tanis model but I see in your video that you have him modded, so I don't know if this is gonna work but it should. various fixes.rar

Alright, so I finally got around to finishing my Force Power mod and it's now pending approval. I had to select TSL Mods for the category since there isn't one for both games, perhaps a moderator can change it to that or create a new one. Also, @Salk I noticed the eyebrows corruption problem you mentioned when I changed the NPC model with Tanis. It seems it's most noticeable in this model than the one I was trying it on. The eyelids/shading texture you also refer to only happens in this model (that I've tried so far), the other one didn't have this problem, only the eyebrows one that wasn't as noticeable as this. It has to be some compiling issue or something as I definitely don't see that in 3DS Max, probably the same source as the one causing the animation to not loop correctly. I can try and remove the keys for those bones completely if you want but then they wouldn't animate at all during the animation.

@Salk I don't know what to tell you. The NPC I tried the animation on works fine. Maybe it's a problem with that particular NPC or something else in your override folder.

Yes of course! I tested the animations before and they should work fine. I was now testing calling the animation via script with the fireforget option and it works, but when calling it in another node when the animation hasn't finished playing makes it reset to the default one (PAUSE1). So keep that in mind, it's better to just call it in nodes that are not too close to each other or just wait until it ends.

Well, since apparently nobody knows about this issue I'm just gonna drop the files you asked for @Salk, including the female version. About the missing winking, it works for me. If you notice the model of Tannis doesn't wink once in all the animations he does, must be something wrong with his model or your game. It certainly is, but the vanilla DLGs will stop working when the animation is called from them. It would have to be called via script, luckily you were already modifying them to your liking so hopefully it's not too much of a problem. I've included a modified animations.2da as well where the animation is changed from looping to fireforget. custom merged animations.rar custom female flirt animation.rar animations.2da

@Salk Hello again, Salk. I've noticed the problem you are mentioning and I thought the game did that with every looping animation, but turns out it only does it with my custom animations. The vanilla ones work fine, even if they are compiled again with MDLEdit following the same proccess my custom ones do. I have no idea what's going on. How can a block of text that looks the same as the other ones not work while the other ones do? I have tried everything at this point and I just can't figure it out. I had the same problem with my custom animation for my Force Power, that's why I had to change the animation to fireforget instead of looping which is the only workaround I have found unfortunately. So yeah tell me if you're still interested and if I should upload the rest of the files. Also, if anyone knows what's going on please let me know.

@Salk 1) Maybe it's because the video lags, but the time he has his neck tilted is not that long. I still reduced it a little bit. 2) I don't see the second winking you are mentioning, perhaps you are referring to the blinking he does after the wink. I removed it anyway. 3) I noticed that, although I didn't have any problems in the program. I still managed to fix it. Test it yourself in the game and see if it's any better. Sure, that way people can have all the fixes in one file too. I will attach the female version once you send me the files for the complete download. custom flirt animation fixed.zip

Ok I have merged succesfully between the two anims, I have tested it in game and it works fine: And because it's a looping animation it works with the vanilla DLGs too. You can test it and tell me what you think. Also guys after this I will be focusing on my machinimas, so I'll be busy with that. custom flirt animation.zip

I know, but the vanilla one is set to loop. If I change it to fireforget it stops working. So you only want the head movement from the FLIRT animation and then body movement from the TALK_NORMAL one? Be aware that the length is not the same so it wouldn't blend nicely. Maybe leave the body as it is and then start the normal body movement when the TALK_NORMAL animation starts?

I wasn't using it in a conversation, was just trying it in a spawn script. But now that I do, I have encoutered several issues. If I call the animation in the "current animations" slot inside the .dlg, the anim doesn't play at all. It works fine with other fireforget animations (such as victory) or the looping ones. I assume there is something wrong or hardcoded inside DLGEditor that prevents from playing an animation that was supposed to be looping and it is changed to fireforget in the .2da. So I have to call it via script, but the same issue happens, when it ends it transitions to the PAUSE1 one. The closest I got was adding a delay in the script and in the same node add the TALK_NORMAL animation in the "current animations" slot, so that it plays this one first during the delay and then blends nicely to the FLIRT one. But as you can see it goes back to the PAUSE1 once again when it ends, and I don't think that can be changed: I can't do it the other way around because, as I said, the FLIRT call in the .dlg doesn't work for some reason. @Salk I can do what you're saying but keep in mind that would loop everything, not just the TALK_NORMAL part.

@Crazy34 Funnily enough, I looked through that video and even downloaded that Force Mod pack to check how some of them were done to see if I could fix my issue. But I didn't realise one of them did that effect. I see now how it's done, although it uses the drain beam effect but I assume you could use the lightning one as well. Can you elaborate a bit more on this? I assume you are referring to the transtime value in the anim block inside the ASCII. I have that to 1.0, in fact the anim blends well as seen in the video. The problem is that it blends to PAUSE1 by default. Is it possible to change this or is it hardcoded?

@Salk I actually planned to add the winking but I totally forgot. The second part with the arm was supposed to be him showing off his muscles but I guess I didn't quite catch that lol. By transitioning to the talk animation then I assume you don't want it to be looping then? The default one when the animation stops is PAUSE1 and I don't think I can change that. So this is what it looks like: @Crazy34 Thanks dude! Unfortunately I don't think it's possible for the lightning to come from above like that.

I finally figured out why the Force Power wasn't showing in the list: turns out I was using "forcepriority=2" and you can't do that with a single Force Power. You gotta use 0. Then 1 if you have an upgrade for it and 2 for the last upgrade. So it's like the "pips" column but with 0,1,2 instead of 1,2,3 (dunno why they created two columns that do the same thing but whatever). Now I plan to implement it in both games using the "namespaces" function that TSLPatcher has, that way I can practice with that and release both versions in a single mod file. Also, my friend @Salk told me about the awful male "flirt" animation and asked me to update it. Given how terrible it was, I didn't have any reference to work with but this is what I got: In the end the thing I explained about creating the facial animations in Blender didn't work, because when you bake the action the keyframes have a "bake action" property instead of an usual "rotation" or "location". And when exporting the plugin doesn't recognize it and throws an error. So I did the facial animation in KotorMax and it works like a charm as you can see. At first I couldn't animate at all because when trying to move the bones the whole head moved. It seems that 3ds Max has a default behaviour of moving the parent bones with the children so all the bone structure moves. I had to uncheck the bone tool option for each one, animate and then re-enable it. Although some parts of the head would appear deformed after doing that like if there was some scale going on. Luckily no scale keys were created since I uncheked them in the animation filters. There are still some sanity check errors like wrong keys that are netiher bezier or linear but I can get past that compiling the model and then copying the generated keys from the ASCII to the original. I still created the body animation in Blender and then merged the keys from KotorMax, but I'm thinking maybe in the future I will do everything in Max if no errors occur.

Yeah KotorBlender doesn't work on 2.8x. In the "How to Install" section of the manual says: "KotORBlender will work in versions as far back as Blender 2.71 and currently up to Blender version 2.79".

I got the Power working in K1: However I can't seem to make it appear on the Force Power list. I have added a unique value to the "forcehostile" column in spells.2da. As I understand it that's what makes it have a new slot in the list. I also added the rest of the neccesary columns to fit my Power such as an "E" in "goodevil", a "1" in "hostilesetting", etc. If I make the "forcehostile" number the same as other Power and increase the "pips" number to have higher priority, the icon takes place in that Power slot, so it works. Anyone knows what's going on? Can't seem to figure it out. This applies to both games btw. Also, I have uploaded a new Darth Malak version with the fixed icon. Here it is for anyone who missed it: I have just submitted the two Nihilus and Malak ports too as files downloads and they are waiting for approval right now.
