  1. Just wrote this on a YouTube video: Hello everyone, I'm djh269 from lucasforums and deadlystream. I don't know if anyone's mentioned this or contacted the user who uploaded these videos, but whilst the Kotor Graphic Modification has been neatly arranged, tweaked and placed within one folder, it is still a bunch of stolen mods placed within a folder and tweaked. You can't begin to comprehend just how long some of these mods take to make, and the sheer amount of effort that...

      Last night I downloaded it and split it into categories and have nearly everything listed except certain planetary skin changes which aren't Jorak ulns skins... I'm hoping he'll change the description of all his videos so more people can see

      Thanks for trying to right that wrong. The modder's wrong, not the video maker. (I hold the video maker blameless.)

      He was very understanding, maybe I was a tad strong. He has changed some of his tutorial videos and his let's play videos. When I find out all the mods in the stolen work I'll ask him to put up links.

      @djh269: I recommend posting the trailer into this thread rather just letting this post die here.  Status Updates are such temporary things...

  5. With Lucasforums being in the state that it is I'm surprised a mass copy of the tutorials at least haven't been copied onto this site. For me the biggest little knowledge nuggets were the endless script advice dating back to like 2005 haha.

      Yeah the problem is not all pages were indexed, or on the same dates, so it can often require a lot of back and forth trying to find a working copy of a thread, if it exists at all.

      First filefront now Lucasforums, not good.

      It would be good if someone that knows the former admins could ask them about the possibility of handing over a copy of the database, if they still have it (they ran their own hardware, so it's feasible). It would be worthwhile rehosting a read-only copy of it. The expense would be insignificant. Too bad someone didn't think to fully scrape it ahead of time, like they did with the Bioware forums.

      Walkways, hmmm I'm never actually looked at walkways. I want to create an area transitioning from one .mod file to another by not using a door or a trigger within the .GIT file. I'll keeping messing around with the files.

      I was questioning alternative methods other than doors or triggers, but there's nothing I could think of but them but I found an alternative solution to get around it. Waypoints are interesting though.

      As a standalone movie it's awful, but as a culmination of a decades worth of story telling it's a funny and emotional movie. The villain was depicted so well!

      Dang; and still counting... I mean- those numbers were as expected from the largest fan-based franchise on this planet, I am sure of that.

      What do you think of the trailer? Looks very emotional, very. Seems to be quite a bit of emotional build up scenes, normally it'd be better in tv shows but as this is the "End game" I think it'll fit with the movie, especially if a lot of the main characters get wiped off the map. 

      It'll be sad to see some of the characters go!

      What do you think of the trailer?

      Well, from the eyes of someone that is not quite a Marvel fan- I got bored with today's trailers; all started with Venom's, and then here- with the Avengers. They looked pretty much the same; the SFXs, the soundtrack, the transition is predictable, trailer-wise.

      ...emotional build up scenes, normally it'd be better in tv shows...

      Yup, that is the trend- right there.

      I know the remaster could be disappointing, but the community have already remastered the games in my eyes so whatever they produce will be inconsequential mate :). But it's brought a healthy amount of traffic anyways! Keep your chin up :)

    4. djh269

      djh269

      I am! I'm going to fix / update some of my released mods, and I have a new Mandalorian Overhaul mod which is very close to being released. I also have some requests to add things into my mods which I Will complete (including yours on my Mandalorian Armor mod funnily enough). How about yourself? But I assume you're still writing for the ROR project?

  13. It's taking so long to download all these filefront Kotor mods, let alone TSL AND Battlefront....

      Yeah I noticed there's a lot of 2010-2012 mods uploaded I've never seen before and some beauties I've never seen before, such as a nice kotor wall paper pack, bos and recruitable Kay intro videos, and also Marius fetts lost apprentice mod!! I've also downloaded all versions of BOS mods because of the amulet of fiends armband (ported icon though lol).

  16. Was it ever explained by Bioware why Freedon Nadd's tomb became Ajunta Palls in Kotor 1?

    1. N-DReW25

      N-DReW25

      I do believe a comic was released before Kotor and it had freedan nadds tomb on Dxun and not Korriban so having him on Korriban would be a massive error.

    2. N-DReW25

      N-DReW25

      For me it appears I have at least 12 messages with this same status.

      Deleted the other 11 statuses, no idea why that happened. Ah okay, I always thought it was a separate tomb like other sith lords. You can never have too many sith tombs haha.

      This scene is accessible in vanilla game, if female Revan romanced Carth, but turned DS in the Rakatan temple.

      Additional option to side with Carth in this scene and alternate ending (all voiced!) were cut before release.

    2. djh269

      Ah okay, thanks for the information, saw it on YouTube and got weirded out by the idea of not having noticed this scene, but it has been years since I've done a female Dark Side playthrough though!

  23. Is it possible to have Kotor (Steam Version) running on a 4k tv? I can't test out my mods for K1 at the moment as the screen is very small!

    1. jc2

      jc2

      Have you tried using Xuul's widescreen tutorial? I know there are ways of making the game widescreen, idk how they would look on a 4k TV though.

      djh269

      I suppose I have to buy a 1080p tv again to play it haha

  24. "In 3960 BBY, the Mandalorians surrendered unconditionally, with Mandalore having been personally slain by Revan while the others were stripped of their weapons and armor and sent into exile in the Outer Rim."

    If this is true, why does most of the Mandalorians encountered in K1 still have their Armor? Can't remember if a character in the first game references this or not. Just wondering why Canderous Ordo doesn't have armor initially in the first game. 

    Source: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Canderous_Ordo

     

    1. AmanoJyaku

      The most likely reason is Revan stripped them of their Beskar armor. What we see in the games is inferior:

      Quote

      The highest quality sets are made by lightsaber-resistant beskar (Mandalorian Iron), but the exceptionally high cost and rarity of beskar has led to the use of durasteel, alum, and duraplast in armor production.

      Even before Revan, the Mandalorians had to use other materials and weren't wearing true Mandalorian armor.

      Thanks for the information, I read that paragraph and questioned whether my Canderous mod was in line with the games Canon! 

  25. Also, does anyone have any advice on setting a triggers coordinates? Literally never got how people create fresh triggers. Can you use any tools to work out placing them? 

    1. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      I create mine in Max, with the module layout loaded. You could do the same in Blender. You need to calculate the offset of each vertex to the pivot, going in (I believe) a clockwise direction. The way I go about it is to create a simple plane primitive, then give it the minimum number of subdivisions to get enough vertices to do the job. If you can get away with four, that's ideal, and will do the job most of the time, but sometimes you have to create a more complex shape. For example, here are some I created for the scene when Mission joins in the Taris Undercity:

      Mission_Undercity_Triggers.thumb.jpg.16e664e54cda5872d20a6f6dec73de35.jpg

      The grey one is the vanilla trigger, an inverted U shape that catches you whichever way you go. I wanted to jump the party so I had more control over where Mission spawns and runs to, so I split that into two separate triggers. Now it knows whether you go left or right and sets up the scene accordingly (red waypoints are the party jump destinations, pink is Mission's run-to destination).

    2. djh269

      djh269

      I never thought about using those programs! I love the tiered setup of your Taris trigger, that's smart! 

      Have you used the Kotor Level Editor yet? That might also have the function to add triggers. I saw that others are using it for the Revenge of Revan mod.
