Our Lord Trudos

Oh my gosh, this is awesome! I was afraid I'd have to figure out how to import my lightsaber from 3ds to gmax. This is a lifesaver! LOL ah yes, Autodesk's student licenses. Those are essentially renewable. I've been upgrading my version of 3dsmax every year for the past few years thanks to having access to their student trials. I intend to buy it, eventually. Once I'm actually using it for something that's not for my own personal non-commercial use.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone on this thread! Reading this was extremely helpful for me as well!

Welp. I'd like to say it's not that bad, but I have too many painful memories of butting heads with css I do like the results I can get with it, but God knows I will never have an excess of love for it.

Welp, coming from a rudimentary knowledge of Javascript, I have to admit that another object oriented language is better for being slightly more familiar terrain. I have no doubt that C++ is incredibly complicated (scarily so right now ), but everything does when you're a noob.

Yeah, from everything I've seen Unity and UE4 are basically tied for just about everything these days, except that UE4 is still frequently used by major studios and not just indie devs. At this point, I'm really better off running through some tutorials for each rather than continuing to see what other people are saying about it. It continues to look like which one is better comes down solely to personal opinion.

Ahhh I see. Mostly I'm just considering debating between c++ and c#, since the answer to that question also solves the question of Unity or Unreal Engine.

Yeah, php is... fun. Actually, it's not all that bad *was one of the few to actually know what they were doing with php in the whole class*, I mostly just found it to involve ten times as much typing as javascript. And that actually sounds very encouraging. The impression I've gotten from researching languages for game development is that everyone has their baby, but c# is far more forgiving for noobs. I'm curious though, how is C different in your experience?

Lol I'm competent with javascript. I've just always gotten the impression that it's less of a traditional programming language and more relegated to web development thanks to it needing an html page to work inside. Although... come to think of it, php actually is considered a traditional programming language. I'm probably just selling myself short here ^^;

This idea sounds awesome! I would totally love to try this out, or even volunteer for testing when it's in official pre-beta stages. I totally get where you're coming from with needing to stay focused on school, but when you have time, THE WORLD NEEDS THIS MOD *_* Also, off topic, but I just wanted to say I love your improved sky boxes. Thank you so much for that excellent addition to the Kotor world.

Another late answer, but an alternative way to fix the minimizing issues for the videos is to open the task manager and set Kotor's affinity to only 1 cpu core. Not sure why that works, but it's made life much easier. Also, no, sadly, Steam has the old low res movie files still, and it's still 1024x768 max resolution. I just had to buy it on Steam myself (stupid laptop dvd drive has quit on me), and I was disappointed that Kotor hadn't gotten the same beautiful updates they've given TSL. Though to be fair, TSL really deserves updates more.

Lol that first one was beautiful. I especially liked the part about php. Notepad is a respectable choice if you want the "no frills" experience. I personally prefer Sublime Text for its range of insanely useful features (when you can edit multiple lines at once, there's no going back). And I can proudly say that I know next to nothing about traditional programming languages except what I've heard I AM planning on learning either C++ or C# this year though. Oh, and thank you for the welcome! I look forward to making the insanity worse Oooh. iOS. An app developer. There is much respect deserved. Especially with the more immediate potential for money in your future.

You can't see my face? I could swear I put it here somewhere... WHAT DEVILRY IS THIS?! I CAN'T FIND MY FACE! (Not that I can normally see it without a mirror to begin with...) On a more serious note, though, thank you very much!

Thank you very much! And I have to say, web development isn't exactly my favorite thing either. It's just that my program in college, while technically giving us a smattering of all design fields (including 3D animation!), it ended up taking an intense lean towards web design. And at least it means decent chances of getting a job to pay the bills. However, you mention being a fellow dev. I take it you're also a coder of websites?

Hey all! As a newcomer to the forums, I felt it only right that I start things off by saying hello. (So when you see me commenting on mods you don't go "Who is this noob?! How dare he post here without an introduction?! BAN HAMMER!!!" ). A little about me, I'm Canadian. I've been a gamer for a long time now, ever since my parents bought me a Sega Genesis as a kid. I've been a fan of Kotor since I saw my best friend's brother playing it on the Xbox, and it's my opinion that TSL is the best story to ever be included in the Star Wars saga. I'm also fond of watching anime, and it's a dream of mine to become an indie game developer and something of a semi-prolific modder. I'm just too unmotivated half the time to be a creator and not just a consumer. What else... I'm 26 and a recent web design grad, I'm happily married (Sorry ladies XD *shot*), I have an unhealthy love for parentheses, and I'm a bit of a dork who likes to think acting pretentious is cool. I found my way to deadlystream a few days ago when I had my desire to play the Kotor series rekindled, only to find out that the filefront Kotor site had been officially nuked (sad day). Since I refuse to live without mods, I went on a quest to find a new community with more than the paltry fourty five mods found on the nexus. I'd have been happy to lurk and just check out the latest mods, but I decided it was really about time I came out of the shadows to actually express my gratitude properly to the many amazing people who've thus far been far motivated than myself and whose mods I greatly enjoy. Anyways, it's nice to meet you all! I don't know just how much I'll be on here, but I'll be around! ~Trudos
