Interesting...Is this a model fix for the placeable, or just a retexture?? Or is the intent to have the placeable and the GUI match up??

The first and the last. An all new placeable model (with an all new texture) that will also be used for a matching GUI. As well as adding various glowy bits, I still need to model the datapad and add in some space-USB ports for it to plug into.

I always figured the panels were solar powered.

I will admit I'm a bit surprised that they didn't play Space Oddity then...

I think Musk mentioned it at one point. I'm not sure if they played it during the 4 hour stream from the roadster (didn't watch that). Of course there may also have been licensing issues.

That makes sense. Still pretty cool they actually played a bowie song!

Considering how simplistic the Empire and Rebel Alliance Logo's are two backwards italicised Cs would make sense for a Star Wars Motor Cycle club.

There are Bek Nikto as well, though. I remember at least one. And of course they're used as random non-gang Nikto throughout both games.

I want to say they put gangs into the game without considering the mandatory gang colors. ...Nah, that can't be it.

I'm sure they considered it, along with various other things, but it was likely beyond the practicalities imposed by the hardware and the engine.

The Steam workshop for Kotor 1 & 2 should just be an empty page with nothing but a URL for Deadlystream anyway.

And ya, thanks for the heads up, DP.

Well K1 doesn't Workshop support, so it's fine. It's just Aspyr screwing things up by including it is their hackjob of a TSL Mac port, which they also pushed for Windows (unsurprising given apparently it's not even an actual port, just the Windows version in a Wine wrapper).

Envmaps work the same in both games.

Noted- thanks for the info!

An obvious inclusion for experiments:

Oh my

Dave is only involved with the pilot. After that he has no input.

Resistance or Mandalorian?

Mandalorian.

Well they had no choice for Xbox at least. MS requires that all Series X/S games are backwards compatible with Xbone for the next 2 years. But that's really a non-issue. The game is capable of running better (although still pretty gimped) on Xbone S and PS4. Just like Red Dead Redemption 2. The problem was CDPR management pushing it out the door probably a year ahead of when it should have come out.

I remember a dev report where they claimed Cyberpunk was barely out of alpha status in May 2019. Since then they were crunching up to 16h per day on 6 days a week. 

Thats some serious mismanagement here. Glad they cut the game shorter than W3 to ensure quality  though. 

Do you think there's a chance they will patch in those abandoned features like wall running & subway via later DLCs? Especially the subway/railway is a must in terms of immersion,  to be able to have some sightseeing at sections above ground.

The demo we saw at the end of 2018 was absolutely a vertical slice, not an actual game. So my position has always been that the game as released was only in development for around 2 years, at most. That means the original April release date was an outright lie that was never realistic/never intended to be hit. It's very much a repeat of the Anthem situation, where the game languished in pre-production for half a decade without achieving much. And like Anthem, I expect we'll get an exposé from Schreier revealing some of the gory details in due course (he apparently already has some sources and is soliciting for more).

As to future changes through updates or DLC, who knows. However, I would be very surprised if, mechanically speaking, the game changed significantly given all the other problems it has, so don't hold your breath for stuff like train rides. Wall running may be a possibility, but I'd put it low on the likelihood list. That's one of the things that likely never actually existed outside the vertical slice. There are some things that are actual cut features though that still have remnants in the game files. Stuff like cloaking/invisibility cyberware (similar to Deus Ex), which is actually used by at least one enemy in the game but was originally also available for the player. Other things that might pop up in DLC would be decorating V's apartment, getting a new/upgraded apartment (apparently there is one upstairs in the megabuilding you can reach with the double-jump cyberware). An expanded crafting/upgrade system seems likely, since this is the sort of thing TW3 did with its expansions.

Everything is really up in the air at this point. The current state of the game and the time/resources required to fix it, plus how much of a knock-on effect that has with the multiplayer spin-off they are also supposed to be launching in a year, have probably put a crimp in whatever original plans management may have had. They are probably also in a bit of a bind logistically, because normally by this point post-launch DLC would already be well into production, since you need to keep your team occupied once they finish up their work on the main game (unless you just sack them all, as is common industry practice). But they probably have a lot of heavyweights, especially programmers, tied up working on patches that normally would have been cycled out by now. That's not only going to slow the whole DLC pipeline, it probably also means curbing any radical ambitions so as not to create any new problems. I would not be surprised if they actually end up scrapping some/most of their original DLC plans. They originally said to expect more than TW3, so presumably at least 3 expansions, but maybe they will decide to just cut their losses. But as I said, who knows at this point.

No, as I said in the first post, this is a CAD model that will be 3D printed. So it will be a real physical object. Once it is exported as STLs for printing, it will be millions of polygons. Far too dense for use in a game. Besides, there are already mods that add Obi-Wan's ANH saber if you want a game version. I think one of Oldflash's ones adds it.

Further update - the clamp is mostly done, just need to add the transistors and the calculator bubble strip:

So... things just got real here. I'm going to find a merchant selling Jedi robe in my town then; if there's any 🙃

I think it is pretty much done now. Comprises about 17 different components:

All that remains is the D-ring and the clamp bolt, but I think I will use actual metal parts for those. There's also something that sits inside the emitter, but I'm not 100% on the specifics of that - need to do some more research. I might also need to make some sort of insert that sits inside the clamp, to make it a bit more solid. This seems to be something people do when making props from real or replica parts.

Edit: Revised a few edges with some fillets. Updated pics.

Interpreting comments from CDPR's post-delay teleconference (albeit via someone else's translation from Polish to English), it sounds like it's probably the Xbone and PS4 releases causing them grief (presumably the Xbone S particularly).

I didn't think a game could get delayed after it "went gold". Can't say I was expecting this one.

Well "gold" is just the locked content master sent off for physical manufacturing. These days it's typical to not worry so much since you can just fix/add things with a day one patch. Although there are rumours circulating that this particular instance is more critical and there is an issue requiring recalling the PS4 version altogether, since it may cause hardware issues (possibly bricking the console altogether). It could just be the usual internet BS though, impossible to say at this point.

But that aside, such a delay right before release is very unusual, mostly because of marketing. That is probably going to cost them 10s of millions of dollars, at the very least.

Just had a listen to each recording, and yeah, she's got the same VO.

Cheers. I'll consider that case closed then.

Ya, was certain that they're the same character.

I need to make a few minor envmap tweaks. It's always such a pain in the ass trying to get that right.

Awesome

Since I know there are some weirdos like @Untold Prophecy that like the ROTS version (for some reason), I figure I'll add a hack job conversion of it.

That's ok. I have a line on a couple of guys that can straighten him/them out.

Just don't let Anakin see them!

Oh God. They've done it. The Sith found a way to transfer the Gizka rapid breeding gene into the most horrifying, annoyingly persistent, and devastatingly demoralizing entity on Tatooine. 

...And the Sandpeople.

Power cord?

Nah, I have a bunch of them. It's an adapter plate for the HSF to suit the AM4 CPU socket. I had a Noctua NH-D15S brand new in a box, unopened, that I bought for this system almost a year ago but never used (too lazy to install it). Needs the adapter to work with Ryzen. They are sending one for free, but air mail from the opposite side of the world.

How very ironic

Patching holes in walls doesn't typically rank high on the excitement list for most modellers.

I wish I could read lips, do you have a transcript I could read? ;P

But I understand your position very well now!

Hah. I actually have a version of it that shortens the hood to stop clipping that I was playing around with when doing the hologram mod. Wouldn't be difficult to excise the extra tongue and fix the gummyness.

Nice! I wonder if that'll affect the various reskins for Visas already out there?

I have a remapped version that removes the mirroring on the face for dealing with the black line issue, but the regular UV map version would work with any existing reskin.

What about Kashyyyk? I might be wrong but isn't there a Rakata hologram as well? If there is it's probably an NPC, but I don't know.

The computer? That will use the NPC appearance. This placeable is just an animated texture.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking about.

LOL in a way it does look kinda awesome though! haha

I think describes KOTOR modding in general haha

After various experiments, it seems Edward Scissorhands is the best MDLOps is willing to give up:

http://dpimages.wheb.org/FU_MDLOps_02.jpg

It reminds me of the issues I had with T7.

He's also Colonel Darok in SWTOR as well. (Kristoiffer Tabori plays a few other roles besides HK's in TOR)

Oh and Chunk in Vampire Bloodlines. Perhaps his best role of all time.

heh. I love coming across characters with voices from other SW media. The one that I have the most fun with is when it's the guy that did Dooku's voice in CW. I always respond with "Yes Dooku."

Which SWTOR droid?

This kind of thing - https://swtor.jedipedia.net/en/npc/ancient-droid-defender

The ones you see on Tython in those old ruins, for example.

You're right - they do have a bit of similarity.

Thankful for being basic 😂

The Mods wouldn't do this! They simply wouldn't!

(As an aside, it's nice to finally be able to edit Status Update replies)

Tsk, tsk, a dirty Override drop I see.

Presumably @KnifeMaster will be interested in this one.

A quick 5 minute installation is ideal for a quick 5 minute mod 😀

Let's just hope that our changes to resolve issue #247 don't make it incompatible with K1CP...

Nah. Although that would have been the preferred case if I had to pick one.

I have local backups in either case, so it's not the end of the world, just annoying.

My sympathies.

ouch

Yes!

Gun

I added some inner frames to the windows. Changed the glass texture as well, although I'm still tweaking that.

Do you happen to have a guide on what needs to be dialed where in Blender? I tried baking new lighting into the Citadel Station module, but it never quite worked (Constant infinite loop when I tried to bake). I would love to see what that module could look like in game.

I might put together a few screenshots of the steps when I set up the next one.

Interiors are also going to require a lot more work, since you'll need to manually place probably dozens of new lights. Outdoor levels are easy by comparison.
