One time for me it took so long for one of my old mods to get approved that by the time it was approved it didn't appear on the front download page because so many people had put their own mods after mine which all got approved at once. It was like my mod was born only to get buried in the "Download Section Graveyard of old mods". Then there was that one mod by @ebmarwhich replaced the Tach grunts with Homer Simpson saying "Uh oh, here comes a train" for April Fools Day... mod got approved April 17th...

Why not just have the winner be included in the mod and have the loser be included in an optional loading screen mod or something. Btw, are you still going to use the vanilla style blue loading screens? Because whilst your coloured screens are amazing if I wanted to play with just K1R, the unofficial patch and Sleheyron those coloured loading screens will look out of place.

Back in 2006 Darth InSidious was making this "Rhen Var" mod which consisted of reskinned M4-78 & HK Factory modules, I know he has uploaded some pics of the old mod on his gallery somewhere here but whether or not he's actually making it is unknown. Here is a fAnTaStIc 2006 trailer of the mod in its 2006 quality:

Alright, so I recently bought a new PC and I installed Kotor 1 from Steam first, then Kotor Tool and then Kotor 2. As to be expected, doing it in that specific order was a poor idea as now when I try to get Kotor Tool to detect Kotor 2 it gives me an error which reads: Now I've had made threads regarding the registry before but this was for Kotor 1, the registry for that game was this quote I believe. With my directory being "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Knights of the Old Republic II" what would I replace "KOTOR" with?

Hello, I was not aware of this issue. In my mod, while you can get the feat at any point you cannot actually get it for free until you become a Jedi even though the option to get it exists for non-Jedi classes and the only Lightsaber on Taris the player can receive is Bastia's Lightsaber (Which I am tempted to remove from Taris). During my test play through of my mod I check to see if the bug exists and if I do find it I will be sure to remove that Lightsaber at some point (Because during my testing without giving the main PC a Lightsaber it worked fine). Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Hard coded? Break your game? All a player needs to hold a Lightsaber is the proficiency feat. Without that feat, holding a Lightsaber is impossible aka it can't break the game. In my K1 Gameplay Improvement mod I've actually set it so that the player can get the Lightsaber proficiency feat and it would work (If they cheated in a Lightsaber before they rescued Bastila that is). But without using my highly experimental Gameplay Improvement mod, the "Jedi from the Start" not only gives you the feat but makes you a Jedi as well, in that case, making these Jedi drop their Lightsabers would indeed work.

That was presumably the issue. The "Notch Steel Sword" uses a tag and resref "k37_itm_freedont" whilst "Ajunta Palls Blade" uses tag "k37_itm_ajunta" and resref "k37_itm_freedont". My guess is that a while back I put the "ajunta" tag as the resref instead of the "freedont" tag. Thank you all for your help.

So I checked what I did to the blades and all I did was modify their stats, removing the blade utis from the override fixed the problem. I will see if it is possible to modify the sword stats without breaking Shaardan.

Hello, in my K1GI Mod I am trying to fix a bug where the Sith Student Shaardan fails to spawn inside the tomb of Ajunta Pall regardless of whether or not you've spoken to Ajunta. The main issue I am having is that I am totally unaware of what actually spawns him, my guess is that when you are leaving you're meant to walk on a trigger which makes him spawn but for some reason he isn't appearing. Would anyone know what file spawns him in? Or if it would be possible to spawn him in via alternate means without breaking everything.

For Kotor One, I guess it would have to be Taris. The planet, in terms of modules, is so large and full of a vast array of NPCs to make it feel alive. All the characters on Taris were unique (even if you literally saw clones of them all over the place) due to their beautifully written story and VO acting. Every level you progress to is different just like how every character describes it as, from the rich Upper City, to the Poor and Crime Ridden Lower City and the frightening Under city. During my first play through, I felt almost exactly like the NPCs in the game feel in their levels: Upper City is a safe area to hang out in the shops and Duel Ring, the Lower City made you fear for your life as seemingly every corner had thugs ready to murder you and the Under city made me literally not want to leave the Village because I thought the Rakghouls were A: OP asf and B: I believed would get the Rakghoul disease. For Kotor Two: I'd have to put my money on Dantooine, whilst I wasn't as Naive back when I first played Kotor 1, I really felt the same atmosphere I felt with Taris but with Dantooine. The VO and writing cements the concept that this is a run-down, seen better days, poor, weak planet which has little to no law keeping the innocent Settlers and farmers safe from greedy Scavengers and blood thirsty Mercenaries, the plot of the planet is short yet still fun and interesting. Other planets like Onderon literally forces you to play both Dxun AND Onderon without any option of leaving before you finish your main quest WITHOUT Atton and once you do finish the quest you need to go back AGAIN to fight in the Battle of Onderon. Nar Shaddaa is slightly better but makes up for it with other minor flaws to ruin it, compared to other renditions of Nar Shaddaa in SW games this Nar Shaddaa is boring asf. When I do try to finish all of the bonus quest of Nar Shaddaa I ALWAYS get Attons bloody "We got this message on the Comlink. Looks like trouble" notification which blocks me from finishing any quests until you finish the planets main plot, here I usually just use the "warp" command to get to wherever I need to go just before I get that notification. Then you have Korriban, which is short and somewhat bland if you don't have M4-78 (Which just makes Korriban a necessary inconvenience just to get to M4-78). Fighting those Hississ' with that bland fighting music and those horrible sound sets, that noise will haunt my dreams.

Here is something that got me going

To clarify, the "placeable" sitters are placeables who appear like Rodian and Aqualish but are sitting down. You see these a lot in Cantinas and the the reason why you cannot interact with them is because they are placeables and not NPCs. Calo Nord, on the other hand, is standing inside the Speeder using a "Computer Use" animation to make it appear as if he was on the bike. I'd say you'd want to make "clones" of your NPCs and make them do the same thing Calo does. (And when I say "clones" I mean you need to remove the placeables and replace them with "clones" and just before they get off their bikes you'd need to remove these computer use "clones" so you don't see double)

CarthOnasty is actually the developer of a mod which gives the Star Map a new HD Model and Texture which I am certain would be compatible with Sleheyron. Can I ask what happened to the old road modules? I recall one being in the Sleheyron Demo and one Xuul showcased a while back (That one was brimming with NPCs btw).

@JCarter426 If I'm being honest with you, looking at that screenshot it looks like a fix would be quite easy to pull off... unless I'm not getting the full picture. Wouldn't this be a fix for this issue?

I'd say you're in luck if you intend to go ahead with it, the child NPC model has full unarmed combat animations but it cannot visually use any weapons (Any weapons are rendered invisible) and the Male Child soundset exists in TSL (Of course you'd need to rename the female child soundset which exists in the files so you could replace the male child soundset with the female one, or just use the male one as it might sound authentic enough to be pulled off). Evidence shows that killing Adana was actually an option before it was cut early, fully voiced dialogue reactions from the refugees and her mother exists and a single Adana line exists where she says "What?" presumably just after you announced to kill her. The only problem I could see is actually implementing it so that it has proper journal updates and conditionals, from my investigation of the refugee sector all I can say is that you'd need a lot of brains and free time in order to work out what everything all means. I originally wanted to do this as an optional install for my "GenoHaradan Legacy" mod because this would be considered "Restored Content" which would go great alongside my "ReStOrEd" GenoHaradan plot, I didn't do anything much with it because it all didn't make much sense to me at the time and I didn't know if killing children would be accepted on DS and of course I don't want to be THAT guy to ask that question.

Fantastic, I have a couple of questions regarding the landing pad sequence. When you say "filler Star Map vision sequence" is that referring to a placeholder or is the sequence already made? Will the convo with Bastila regarding Sleheyron's Star Map use new VO, reused VO or spliced VO? Once the player reaches the landing pad, will the NPCs be anything like the old Sleheyron Demo from 2008/2014 or will it be different? (With a Czerka Twilek guy to charge the player to enter Sleheyron and answer questions, Gamorrean Guards watching the ship and an Aqualish Merchant)

I think some some of those lines are restored hence is why they may not make sense. "Played into the hands of the enemy"= walked into the enemies trap "caused Revanto choose the path he did"= maybe they ignored the signs that Revan was craving knowledge and power as a Jedi before the war, in K1 the masters say they thought it was just a padawans curiosity but they where wrong. Also in K1, Vrook thought it was the crystal cave on Dantooine that made Revan and Malak evil as if it where like the Dagobah cave "What were they referring to, about how the exile may be healed? Does that ever come up again"= The Jedi masters didn't cut her/him from the force but rather it was the deaths at Malachor that did it and they knew this. The Exile eventually gets healed on Peragus at the first level up and is a wound in the force which means she/he can kill others and get stronger for it (xp and leveling up)
