  1. Finally watched the TRUE first Star Wars film: The Hidden Fortress by Akira Kurosawa. ;)

      Oh yes yes, and it has been an incredible journey. Throughout last week I also watched Seven Samurai, Rashomon, Ikiru, Throne of Blood, Yojimbo, and Sanjuro. Still on my list to watch are High and Low, Kagemusha, and Ran.

      He very quickly became one of my favorite directors, right up there with Martin Scorsese, Andrei Tarkovsky, Paul Thomas Anderson and Ridley Scott (hell, I'll put Tarantino in there too). I'm blown away with just how consistent his material is and good his films looked, especially for the era. The cinematography is off the charts.

      I'm really grateful I finally started watching his stuff.

  3. Is there an easy and/or convenient way to view what each placeable looks like?

      Oh hell yeah. I completely forgot Holocron Toolset existed! Thanks DP! :)

  4. HappyPenguin from the xVASynth Discord server has kindly helped me train a Juhani voice model for xVASynth with the dataset I provided: https://www.mediafire.com/file/8jifh4av1oz1a4h/kotor_juhani.7z/file

      So I've been seeing a lot of Dagoth Ur memes pop up with folks using the Elevenlabs voice AI. How does this software compare to xVASynth?

  6. The Bad News:  My good old Blue Snowball microphone's drivers are not supported for Windows 10.  I was using a Win 7 computer and everything was dandy but once I upgraded due my old computer's woes, I didn't even think to check to see if the microphone was working because it was always a sturdy workhorse allowing to record my M4-78 EP lines, the lines for LDR's mod, and numerous other things over the years.

  8. Still alive, still kick’n. Thought I check in since it’s been awhile. See some old familiar names still here. Crazy.

  9. Any chance that we could get the "Featured Downloads" section of the Downloads page updated once a month? For example, I'm not sure that Playable Lizard Characters needs to be a featured download for years on end.

  12. Working on a little something:

  15. I regret to inform the community that the Loot-Immersion Upgrade is in its final build, no further work or updates are planned.

    It is because it is a large mod that I cannot test anymore.

    I have created links to patches/alternate versions in the main download page for the final version, c.03.

      Amazing job dude. I've always been impressed watching you take this mod and make it even better each iteration, a feat I didn't find possible. A personal favorite of mine. I can't wait to see what other new projects you'll start working on, my friend.

  16. That weird feeling when you're getting tons of paying work, but you really just want to finish your mod...

  17. Played through the Brotherhood of Shadow mod and since so many reviews have been written on the actual page, I figured I'd post it here:

    To start with, there were many things which I thought were great about this mod:

    1) The flashbacks to battles in the Mandalorian Wars that players could relive

    2) Dealing with the ancient Sith--Akirakon Sin was honestly an interesting villain, as was Darius Solomon

    3) Shadow & Kobayashi--I thought they were both good characters although I thought Kobayashi's Jedi background was too hastily fleshed out toward the end.

    4) New areas, I honestly enjoyed traveling the Korriban Wastes and the Czerka mining facility

    However, there were many ways in which this mod could be improved:

    1) alternate endings: I felt like in many ways playing as Revan, I was sidelined and basically had to watch at the end as Solomon ultimately wins in convincing Shadow to leave. It also felt out of place for her to just leave in the middle of the war and hook up with her lover to just become a smuggler again--I wanted a chance to be able to prove as Revan that I had either changed, or that I could still hold Shadow in awe as a follower. Given her slave background and initial reason for joining Revan, I felt like this ending was forced and honestly weak and that she and Kobayashi should've only temporarily left but showed up to help on the Star Forge, depending on my choices.

    2) Designs. Especially for Akirakon Sin since he's a Sith pureblood, he shouldn't have facial hair. There were also "force-cages" which the player gets put into by Solomon but just looked like plants from Telos (not sure if this was a glitch).

    3) Voiceovers: Shadow and the Sith ghost (Akirakon Sin) should've just spoken in basic and had actors. Same with Daemon Drexl (honestly I felt Daemon's character should've played a larger role and reappeared in Solomon's Revenge depending on the player's choices)

      Yeah, the potted plants are definitely a glitch. The force cages are supposed to be made of stone and have a red force field.

  20. Has anyone heard anything from Sithspector or how his progress on Sleheyron is going? It's been quite a while. 

    I'm guessing he's just not had much time to work on it, which is understandable. 

    I'll stop inquiring about it permanently if mods want

    1. LDR

      Knowing him and his passion for it, I assure you Sithspecter is probably hard at work with Sleheyron.

  21. I am planning way ahead for this year's Life Day display. Might anyone have a link to a 3 and 3/4 inch scale figure or statue of Santa Claus?  He'll be in the background so I won't need to pose his arms or anything.

    BTW, this display won't be on Tatooine this year which is your only hint about the in-universe location.

    If you missed last year's display, click here.

  23. When you kill Nihilus and Visas looks at Nihilus' face, what do you do differently to have Visas say he looks like "a man, nothing more" instead of "a graveyard world"? Is it random?

    1. LDR

      LDR

      There's two dialogue options:

      1) Tell me what you saw. (I saw a graveyard world...)

      2) What did you see when you looked at him? (A man, nothing more.)

      If I'm interpreting this correctly, there's Visas seeing/looking with her eyes, and then there's Visas "seeing" with the Force. I took a look through Kotor Tool (ERFs > Modules > 852NIH_dlg.erf > 852end.dlg), and emphasis is placed on the wording the player uses. Feel free to look at it yourself and give it your own interpretation.

  24. Big guns:

    Big_Guns.thumb.jpg.3059943f1ba73c5f33e4c90825edb824.jpg

    I had to do an update for my Harbinger Hull Fixes mod. While I was at it, I figured I should probably address something that has always bothered me. So I hacked up the Harbinger's exterior model, made some new gun meshes, and plonked it on top of the bridge. And since the bridge is just a reskin of the Endar Spire's bridge, it will also slot straight into K1. I think I might add some actual mesh frames to the glass as well, give those dirt stains something to actually accumulate around.

    One drawback is that the guns now almost completely block the docking collar which I added previously. Oh well.

  25. Happy Thanksgiving! To celebrate, I'm gonna play the game that I'm most thankful for... featuring the Reddit Mod Build!
