N-DReW25

No worry's, as long as you keep the mod creators informed it won't cause us to panic.

CD? I thought everything was Itunes now?

The only thing I didn't like was it had an echo to it. I would also highly recommend checking out "602akkere006.wav" as it actually doesn't have a Filter.

You do know that some of the G0-T0 GenoHaradan lines were unfiltered, right? I would think that would be of more importance to you.

If you're referring to the Goto Bounty Hunter lines meeting I would say that they are using a completely different lower quality filter. I also have another unfiltered line called "602akkere006.wav". If you'd like to test your filters on the Goto's GenoHaradan lines that would be very welcomed.

I requested someone provide the unaltered G0-T0 lines above. Send the ones you're referring to over to me and I'll see what I can do.  

I wasn't requesting any specific line I was just saying you could pick a filtered line perhaps the "I am goto, one of the officials representing trading in both the y'tube system and non sanctioned space" line then after you play that one in a video play yourself saying that line unfiltered then after that play the same line again with the filters. I believe you have done something similar when you were picking the filter for the M4-78 Archon.

An unaltered Goto line I know of is "502bounty1011.wav" found in 502 of the stream voices folder.

Filter test #1 sounds more like Goto. Do you reckon you could say one of goto's original lines and apply a Goto filter to them to see if you sound similar to Goto by any chance?

Honestly, I find the sheer amount of hate Juhani gets from male players very appalling. 

It has nothing to do with her story for me it's very well written except how she doesn't explain how even made her way to the Jedi after being freed by Revan (That's something I'd actually like to know). The full blame for her hate (At least from me) comes from her accent and character model. If Bioware turned Juhani into an Echani (Or any other alien species that appear more "human" and I don't mean over sexualize her appearance) and made her voice sound more like Bastila's but kept the story and everything else exactly the same I bet she wouldn't have as much hate.

Even if you romance Juhani, it won't change Juhani's dialogue that much aside from some lines about her feelings for you, so why only the ability to romance her (as a male character no less, even though Juhani is a lesbian) can motivate you to talk to Juhani?

It's a mod, we don't need canon. Handmaiden isn't a Lesbian in canon but currently 473 people don't care and have downloaded your mod. In my opinion Party Swap motivates me to play as a female because I avoid the female character play through all thanks to Disciple who is just a flat out boring character unlike Handmaiden and your Handmaiden and Female Exile romance mod greatly improves the dialogue for Handmaiden with that mod installed.

The reason why a male romance would motivate me to talk to Juhani is I'd like to talk to her for a purpose: With Bastila, I find her just as bad as Juhani when it comes to Dialogue but I still talk to her for the romance which I rarely ever see because I'm too busy playing the game and not talking to Bastila but I still talk to her because of the romance in hopes I can see that kiss scene.

I also use the "Bi Carth" mod that makes the female romance appear for male characters, the reason I use this is because I actually like it when Carth is loving towards the player and not just yelling at me for talking to him, I am not gay in real life but when Carth yells at me from the start until the end of the game it kinda makes me want to make a mod that allows the player to chase after Carth on the unknown world just to kill him. The only downside to that mod is Carth still calls me "Woman" and "Sister" which I actually wouldn't mind if you could make your own version of the mod which I will probably download and use often.

I've already played the games many times over and I usually skip every dialogue because I know exactly what they are saying. Some party members I actually like to listen to as most of the time their stories because the tones, accents and the acting are top quality and are interesting even if you have heard it a hundred times over. some good examples are Mission, Canderous, Carth and HK-47 even though these stories do not have a real impact on the story meaning if I don't listen to them it doesn't matter in the end. Juhani's story while is great and a lot better than Bastila's story but her weird alien voice over ruins it completely and makes me skip her lines completely with the only motivation of going on with her is the Xor encounter. On the bright side I actually do her story unlike Jolee who rots in the medical hold until the ending credits.

 

Since it appears that you hate Juhani so much that you think she does nothing but whining and that being able to kill her is a good thing, how is being able to romance Juhani going to change your opinion on her? Why a female character is only interesting or worth talking to if she is romantically involved with a male character, including male player character? 

I would definitely spare her in a vanilla play through and have her in my party but with a mod as good as Recruitable Kay I cannot resist but to take that option. Kay while she isn't romanceable by any means she is still a good character. While her life story isn't as tragic as Juhani's it still is enough for me to like it, in a certain point of view she's a Luke Skywalker how he lived an ordinary life as a farmer then is thrown into a life under the rebellion. Kay is an ordinary Jedi who joins your character and is thrown into a mission that can determine the fate of the Galaxy. Kay also (once you complete her sidequest) can recieve a unique Lightsaber and a red Jedi robe with custom stats. At some point, I will likely record videos of Kay similar to what you've done with Juhani (Which I highly approve of as your series of videos are very informative about Juhani) to visually show why I prefer Kay over Juhani.

 

 

I'm fully aware that I don't have to download and install a mod if I don't want to, but that doesn't mean I can't criticize mods that I find offensive, including mods that perpetuate homophobia, like mods that allow male characters to romance a confirmed lesbian character like Juhani. As a gay person, homophobia is a very personal and relevant issue, and it still affects gay people like me on these days. When I see something that is homophobic, I have the right to criticize it.

I can understand that however I highly doubt someone will go out of their way to make a mod simply out of homophobia.

 

 

Also, please say "gay people" instead of "homosexuals". A lot of gay people (myself included) find the word "homosexual" offensive and prefer "gay" instead.

I am sorry if I insulted you, that was never the intent. I thought "Homosexual" was the complex term for "gays" not an insult and I'm not trying to be funny here. Also isn't the word "Gay" the word used for males and "Lesbian" the word used for females? If I am wrong can you please correct me.

In short, I do not hate Juhani for being a Lesbian I hate her alien voice and I dislike her head model. The only reason I would kill her is for Recruitment mods that replace Juhani I would not kill her in a vanilla playthrough by any means. I think her story and writing is fantastic but it's all ruined by her horrendous VO and since I've never played a heavily modded playthrough as a female I've never actually experienced the Juhani love story.

I am sorry if I offended anyone but that's my general opinion on Juhani at least from a male playthrough perspective. I also would like to say I'm sorry if this makes no sense either. If there is ever a mod that revoices all of her lines to sound more human and maybe replace her head similar to Shem's Juhani's new look mod I would likely use it and it could even change my perspective of Juhani.

 

 

I would also like to emphasise that I DO NOT support any mods that make Juhani a romance option for male characters under any circumstances, because such mods would be erasing the identity of the very first confirmed lesbian character in any Star Wars media.

That's the reason why you wouldn't want to play a mod like that but some people who like playing a male character (Me) would like Juhani to have some sort of good interaction besides whining and having a Jedi character. The only good thing Juhani offers is being a Jedi Party member and having the option to kill her in the grove to make way for Kay in the Recruitable Kay mod.

I am not against homosexuals or anything like that but I wouldn't mind something that will actually motivate me to talk to her. Besides, a mod is a mod and you do not have to download and install a mod if you don't want to.

I'm just going to insert my 5 cents and say:

if you plan to do a Let's play start with Kotor 1 then go to Kotor 2 next.

Make content you want to make, it is called Youtube after all.

That means you shouldn't sacrifice your own dignity trying to gain views and subscribers by making cringy content that only attracts screaming 9-year-olds to your channel (You don't want to end up the next Stampylonghead *shudders*).

For Kotor do NOT skip especially important dialogue (Alien VO and useless NPC's are kinda ok to skip).

Try to make jokes and edits often so it doesn't become boring (Even if it becomes a Jack Star style LP).

Try not to spoil the entire game but don't act like you've never played it before.

Try to mention cut content if you use the restoration mods whenever you come across it (Or if you don't use the restoration mods try mentioning cut content when necessary like the cut Black Vulkar floor in the Black Vulkar base section and the GenoHaradan on Nar Shadda)

Try not to drop out after 3 episodes

Don't play on Impossible if you use K1R

Don't use two incompatible mods in an LP

 

This fix, by all rights, should be minor. The work of splicing necessary audio, so far as I've seen, has already been done. That leads me to the conclusion that intransigence is the problem, not slow work. To which I must ask: why? If the concern is one of porting, a real stance that it should be allowed, then a discussion on the matter should have begun over a month ago. But if it's simple bull-headedness over TSLRCM itself having the rules enforced against it, I can't see a way to conscience such a stance. I would love to have it explained to me.

Administrators are the online equivalent of the Police.  The Police are supposed to prevent crime and punish people who have broken the law, same things apply here. The Administrator is to prevent online chaos and punish people who have broken the site rules.  In this case, TSLRCM is a car that has driven at 100 in a 60 zone and the driver Zybl2 and his passenger Hassat Hunter are really famous Hollywood celebrities.  In real life, the Police should give the person driving a ticket and possibly inflict a punishment related to the driver's license.  If Sith Holocron didn't remove TSLRCM it would be the equivalent of the Police Officer betraying his duty as a Police Officer and pretending it didn't happen because Zybl2 and Hassat Hunter are famous celebrities.  But because Sith Holocron is a good Administrator he has taken TSLRCM down like he is supposed to do regardless of his feelings towards it.  (I apologize if that made no sense. Law enforcement when it comes to speeding is different in other countries so I reduced it to being very simple)

When M4-78 updates it will include new features which are currently being beta tested but TSLRCM has no real excuse as to why it's delayed is taking so long since all the new stuff going into 1.8.6 is the new credits and possibly a VO correction.  One can assume Zybl2 and Hassat Hunter want to release both mods at the same time.

Number 5 don't know the name but it's got to be from Star Trek.

I do believe your allowed to port Sera to TSL because all the female twi'lek textures are in TSL already and Sera's texture is a modified twi'lek texture which means porting her head shouldn't be an issue, however, her body texture is Bastila's slave outfit and I'm sure that isn't in TSL. In short, head can be ported no problems, body cannot be ported.

Very glad to see your alright. This modding community, especially with the script side of it, would probably sink if your name landed right next to SithRevan's in the download thread of K1R 1.3!

The Ord Mantell mod is super difficult on easy mode so going there wasn't a good idea!

All you need to do to properly pronounce my name is say, N (En) Drew (Like you would normally say the word Drew) and the numbers two and five!

1* Why did you choose to make a new skybox for the mod instead of using the original ones that were already present?

2* Why didn't the main guardian droid in the Central Zone attack you since the archon IS-02 (Don't kill me if I got that wrong) ordered for the droids to attack anyone they saw after the radiation leak occurred?

3* Why is there a data pad collecting thing in M4 -78 (I am referring to the thing where you need to collect data pads that say "Shut down" for example to use on a computer to Shutdown or reset something that was present on Goto's yacht)?

4* Who is Tourath and why is she in it?

5* Why does your mod include two new weapons called "Blaster Rifle Mk3" and one that has no name, no description and has the same stats as the regular Blaster (These are both found in the mod)?

6* Why is there a locker in the M4-78 Main AI room that has a bunch of Jedi Items?

7* What actually happens between Nihilus and Sion on the Ravager since in the mod we didn't see much and did that impact on anything?

8* What inspired you to make the mod?

9* What was something you wish you could have done better or changed about M4-78?

10* What was your reason for giving the M4-78EP to Zbyl2 and Hassat Hunter?

Something a bit off topic Sith Holocron if you know of a way to contact Stoney do you reckon you could tell me how to contact him as I need his permission to use his content from one of his mods in my mod?

@HK-47: I didn't put the word "Hanger" simply out of some sort of Rebellious act or out of not caring about spelling I honestly didn't know it was called "Hangar"!

Like Sithspector has stated many people including pilots call it "Hanger" because at least for me I don't hear the "A" after the "Hang" I hear "ER" so I'll assume many people do the same and call it "Hanger"! (And I don't get red squiggly lines under the word "Hanger" because it thinks I am referring to the Coat Hanger or whatever Sith Holocron was referring to in the Indiana Jones Clip)

I am being 100% honest I've been typing it wrong for years! I am sorry for the inconvenience of having to write an entire blog just to get the message across! I'll try to correct minor errors in my typing but if I miss one good thing we have the trust worthy Admins to correct them and take the time to make a blog post correcting it!
