  1.  

    From what I can tell this won't affect anything besides skipping the Leviathan turret session:

     

    k_ren_levescape.nss:

    //:: k_ren_levescape
    /*
         Runs the Leviathan Escape into
         the Mini-Game
    */
    //:: Created By: Preston Watamaniuk
    //:: Copyright (c) 2002 Bioware Corp.
    
    #include "k_inc_debug"
    #include "k_inc_stunt"
    
    void main()
    {
        PlayMovie("17a");
    //    ST_PlayLeviathanEscape01();
    }
    

    The commented-out code looks like this, so I checked the movies it's playing and used the post-shooting movie:

    //Goes to the Leviathan Mini-Game covered by the Escape Render
    void ST_PlayLeviathanEscape01()
    {
        SetGlobalNumber("K_TURRET_SKYBOX", 10);
        StartNewModule("m12ab", "", "17a", "11a");
    }
    

     

     

    Is there something I can do with all this? Truth be told, I didn't even really understand what DarthParametric listed. I just was fortunate enough to find this link someone had "compiled" from the script he found on LF. It might be absurdly simple but I've never done anything like this before so I wouldn't even know where to begin.


  2. There were script edits over at LucasForums which would allow you to skip both the Taris and Leviathan turret sections, but the site appears to be down again. Here it is in the event it comes back up:

    Fortunately you can still see it via a Google cache (Wayback Machine doesn't seem to have it). While tygaran provided source for the Taris script k_ren_taris03:

    #include "k_inc_debug"
    #include "k_inc_stunt"
    
    void main()
    {
    StartNewModule("ebo_m12aa", "K_TARIS_DESTROYED", "11b", "", "", "", "", "");
    }
    allowing a new copy of that to be compiled, unfortunately TK102 only attached a ZIP file of the Leviathan script to his post, without posting the source as text or even mentioning the script filename. I had a brief poke through the Leviathan scripts, but didn't see anything obvious. Perhaps someone else can chime in with an independently created script for that.

     

     

    Awesome, thank you. I had no idea LucaForums just "went down" periodically. I thought it might be gone forever for some reason or other.

     

    The "skip Tarris turret" script works like a charm. Now just need Leviathan.

     

    Thank you again.


  3. Yes, I know about the NO_Fighters mod that skips random encounters. Don't care about that.

     

    I have Googled the best I can and I have found decade-old dead links to mods promising easy turret minigames where you are way tougher and enemies are way easier. Yet I can't find a single working link to a mod that does this. That seems unthinkable to me. Doesn't modding improve with time?

     

    I just.. I can't do it. I suck at this minigame and I'm so sick of watching the same cutscenes over and over and over and over. And I know "all the tricks." I've been on Google for an hour. I still die. And I will keep dying and I will never beat this stupid game unless I can find some mod that does something that seems to me to be relatively simple. Given everything PC modding can do, something like "take no damage in a minigame"sounds extremely simple and easy. But I also know nothing about modding so....

     

    If anyone can help me out here, I'd be beyond grateful.  If you have a Paypal, I'd even be happy to donate to that in exchange for assistance. I don't bring this up to earn sympathy but I am visually impaired and it's why I love the auto-pause system for real gameplay. I jut can't react to things that quick so it serves me very well. I only beat KOTOR 1 originally because a friend did the turret section for me but I can't jus thope a friend is stopping by whenever I want to replay this game. I need a more permanent solution and a mod is the only solution I can think of.


  4. Maybe there are more enemies in the last one, I dunno. I barely scraped by the first mandatory encounter but, as I said, I was stuck on the last one until I had a friend beat it for me.


  5. Well the scripted ones are the problem.... I just could not beat the last one.

     

    Maybe I can find some way to cheat it. It's my only hope if there are no mods to remove it or to make you invulnerable.


  6. Hello,

     

    Is there a mod that lets you skip the forced turret minigame sections in KOTOR 1? Or at least a hack that makes you invinciblerduring it? Anything at  all, please?

     

    I  really want to play through KOTOR 1 again but I literally could not beat the last forced minigame. I can't see that well and also I'm just a substandard gamer. I ended up having to ask a roommate at the time to do it for me but he's gone now and so I'm worried that my playthrough will hit a rather lame wall and come to a crappy  end.

     

    Any help at all would be much appreciated.


  7. I've had the same problem numerous times. What you need to do is download both Kotor Tool and the 2da merger tool. You'll need 3 2da files. One that's already in your override, the specific mod's 2da and the vanilla 2da. The vanilla one is extracted via kotor tool and if you don't have another of the same 2da in your folder, just use the vanilla one twice (extract twice). Merging the files with the merger tool gets you the 2da file you want for your override folder.

    The problem is, the only place I knew where you could get a 2da merger was on StarWarsKnights.Com, which seems to be down ATM.

     

     

    Um, hello. First post. I was looking for some help on why  the Duplisaber installer constantly crashes and this seems like it might  be a sollution.

     

    I have KOTOR Tool and a 2da merger like you recommended bu twhat 2da file are you referring to? I didn't find a 2da file included with this mod.

     

    I've already installed the Loot and Immersion mod and it recommended putting "baseitems.2da" from that mod's archive to Override folder. I did that because Duplisaber just wouldn' t work while I really wanted to try out L&I.
