There's two ambushes in the game which are on Kashyyyk and Tatooine, that being said though this mod doesn't technically alter the ambushes in any way. It modifies the appearances of the generic Dark Jedi NPCs. If you had my Restored Female Dark Jedi mod installed that means that the two male Dark Jedi will be Proper Sith Assassins but the female won't. Any place or mod with the generic Dark Jedi NPC will be affected, this could include the following: Leviathan, Star Forge, Manaan Sith Base, Darth Bandon encounters, Brotherhood of Shadow mod, Yavin 4 planet mod, Ord Mantell planet mod and more.

The main dev, Zbyl2, thought that most of the cut lines sounded like they were obviously spliced such as Kreia's line "Droids gather while we wait here" for example hence is why they're cut. So yes, this was intentional.

That is good to hear. While HQ Quality Equipment for Bandon aren't on the list right now I assure you that Darth Bandon and his buddies will get a very good HQ NPC Overhaul. You said he didn't spawn in the module, right? Can you tell me what module this was? Because I did a test playthrough on Manaan and he did spawn in.

Strange, can you check your override and check if the file "end_trask01.dlg" exists or any other files with "trask" in it. Also, what mods are you using? It might be a mod conflict. That is good to know 👍

This is a stunt module, in theory the NPCs don't technically have to 'die' because you only see the scene once, they only need to appear dead for the duration of the scene once they supposedly 'die'. But because the NPC who has the dialogue attached to them doesn't die I guess the NPCs who do need to die can die either way. The way they die is a lot more exactly like what happens with the Kreia scene, the screen turns black and the NPCs just drop dead suggesting Kreia did something to them. I checked the source script for that scene and this appears to be the script which does the trick: I tried searching for some vanilla scripts where an NPC 'dies' during a cutscene, I checked the Squik scene on Nar Shaddaa and Coran Falt's death scripts but they led me no where so I ended up coming up with this down below: (It compiles just fine but in-game it appears to have no effect, I did mash this up from a script which the 'effect' was a stealth effect so maybe that's the reason this flopped)

This will be a single thread asking two separate questions. The first question, can anyone be able to identify the scripts which gives the player Force Enlightenment or Force Crush depending if they completed the Enclave either Light Side or Dark Side? The second question, I am working on a cut-scene which involves multiple "generic goon" NPCs being "killed" by another NPC in the cutscene, in my attempt to find the script I am 98% sure that "EffectDeath" is the key here. The best example of what I am referring to is that one scene where Darth Traya "kills" a bunch of Sith Assassins off screen as seen here. Would anyone be able to assist?

Thank you! This is but a taste of the Dark Side 😈 At lot was different from the final version, I'll give one example: There's a lot of 'one liners' which suggests something totally radical. In vanilla the Handmaiden/s all run into the Enclave and Kreia says "It is done - he is no more." and "Take me to Atris. She will have the strength to do what the Council cannot." Whereas there is a line which suggests that Visas would run into the Enclave instead and Kreia says "It is done - he is no more." and "Take me to your lord. He will have the strength to do what the Council cannot. " This kinda suggests that Kreia would've gone directly to Darth Nihilus instead of Atris after the Enclave, maybe Kreia got eaten by Nihilus and Atris became Darth Traya like in the cut content or maybe Kreia was allowed to go with the party to the Dxun tomb becauses she has unheard lines for the tomb and because she goes to the tomb she never revives Tobin so she herself needs to go to Nihilus and tell him herself about the Telos Academy. Because we only have that one line, we'll never know. I wouldn't say additional content, there is a few bits and bobs for Onderon but their just single lines not really adding much to the overall plot. I can assure you though you'll get a chance to hear these lines in future Mini Mod updates. Here are some quotes from the game: Bostuco: "That means they control the checkpoints now. If we can get to the Turret Tower up ahead we can deactivate the first barrier." Bao Dur if he's there: "The force shields won't present a problem. I can get us through them." Bostuco: "You can? That will save us precious minutes." This suggests that Bostuco wants to get to the turret tower NOT to fire the turret but to use the terminal to deactivate the force field. Obviously with Bao Dur in the party you can just bypass it. Bostuco: "Have they changed the access codes in the Turret Tower? We need to get through the force shields." Royalist: "I don't think they've had time, sir. They've been firing the turret non-stop. Vaklu is close to having air superiority now." This suggests that by blowing up Vaklu's fighter it gives the royalists an air advantage, this doesn't mean much gameplay wise because the survival of both the queen and Vaklu are what's important, not air superiority. This is why Bostuco wants to get to the palace as fast as possible to stop Vaklu from killing the queen. Bostuco: "The second forceshield is up ahead. It looks like its been damaged by orbital bombardment." Bostuco: "You might be able to bash your way through it with your lightsaber." I haven't played Kotor 2 in a while but I swear the first force field can be bashed with a Lightsaber or even a plasma torch. I hope that answers your question, the turret game is meant to be totally optional and is probably intended to give experience only as it has no real affect on the outcome of a battle.

Here is a piece of cut content which wasn't restored in TSLRCM plus some minor cosmetics: The spoiler contains a preview video, screenshots and relevant information on the content and installation. I would like to thank @134340Goat for bringing the restored scene content to my attention and @JCarter426for contributing some of the LIP files for said scene. Coming very soon!

All my efforts to decompile vanilla scripts and even scripts from other people's mods for TSL have all been in-vein. They'd decompile using DeNCS but when I opened them in Kotor Tool text editor and tried to compile it for TSL, even when I didn't even touch the decompiled code, it would always have some form of error preventing me from doing such. The point of me decompiling the scripts was for me to attempt to view the code, see how it works and use it in my own mods but that's seemingly not an option at this time so I've decided to create this thread asking what I would need to do in order to create these scripts for TSL. 1) Dialogue Cutscenes This I imagine should be fairly basic, what I want to create is a cutscene where NPCs walk from where they are standing to a given set of coordinates. From what I can make out from the scripts I've decompiled, their seems to be two ways for this to work, its either a script which makes an NPC walk to the coordinates or a script which makes the NPC walk to a waypoint which would be placed at my coordinates in the git file. 2) Terminal dialogue to normal dialogue If you remember on Telos during your house arrest when you'd access a wall terminal, click the option "accept call" and it'd start a normal conversation separate from the wall terminal. From what I can see from the script which does this all I'd need to do is to put either the tag of the NPC speaking or the name of the dialogue into the correct places in the script to work. 3) Opening doors with a script Through dialogue, I want to create the effect that an NPC is using a security animation to unlock a locked door. Before the convo starts, the door shall be locked and cannot be opened except through this cutscene and shall remain open after the cutscenes end. The script I'd want is one which would turn a door from locked to unlocked and open during said conversation. If anyone would be able to share their scripts for any of these and/or dip their 2 cents into this topic it would be greatly appreciated

Thank you both, through this thread I was reminded by how Fallen Guardian actually edited Darth333's K1 Utilities to properly find the "quaternions" that the Kotor orientations use. In the end, I believe I have found something which can help me with my issue and I can now work on getting those static cameras.

Hello, I am attempting to create "animated cutscenes" (By animated I do mean custom static cameras and moving NPCs) though I am having a problem doing such. I am currently using the mod "Handy Force Powers" which pretty much adds in the functions of the Whereami armband mod as a Force Power, so to set the coordinates first I am placing the NPCs and the coordinates into the git to ensure that they work first. While I can get the coordinates correct to actually place my NPCs I cannot seem to get the correct orientations so that they face the direction I want them to. A very similar problem occurs with Static Cameras, while I can put them where I want them I cannot get them to point in the right direct. Would anyone know of any better coordinate mods or tips on how I can get accurate coordinates in TSL?

This will be very useful in module building in the future. While I can guess this won't let me place placeables or NPCs inside the module by simply dragging and dropping them where I want but would it be possible to use this tool to reskin the rooms/modules to be unique (Reskinning a new module with the Ahto City room/module to use the textures of the rusty Taris sewer whilst leaving Ahto and Taris alone)

Oh my god, what have you done?! Now while this is an example of how not to install my mod, I still really want to see where this goes. Looking forward for more broken Kotor here. Edit: Just realised you intended to break your game here, thanks for considering my mod: you made a bloody good choice XD. Will you consider posting a list of mods (maybe mods used in each blog per blog to keep things small) so that I could use the list so that when I make a "Compatibility list of mods" in the future I could use that for reference?
