Hello everyone. So I started a small fix to an old mod; Kazeite's Light-Dark Bastila Robes mod with the original creator's permission. I edited several files in KOTOR to make the Sith robes from the mod stay with Bastila after you face her (or join her) on the Rakatan Temple. I modified the files p_Bastila004.utc-P-Bastila006.utc, sta_Bastila.utc, sta_Bastila001.utc, and unk44_evilbast.utc with KOTOR Tool so that Bastila's Sith robes are equipped on her after you meet her. Before this, Bastila would change back to the black, Dark Jedi, robes if you decide to join her. I have fixed a few bugs but one still eludes me. It is a minor bug where your character changes back to their default clothing from the beginning of the game when loading a save after you meet Bastila or once you reenter the temple. I can't quite figure it out so I thought to ask all of you. Attached to this post are the files I mentioned and my current draft of the readme. Light-Dark Bastila Robe Fix.zip

I was disappointed we were not with the Imperials for most of the campaign. It seemed like that was going to be the case based on the marketing but it turned out that was not the case. Iden Verso even gets shunted to the side for the cameo missions featuring Leia, Han Solo, Lando, etc. Not to say the campaign completely sucked, there were enjoyable moments but it felt like they gave up on the Imperial badass concept too quickly and traded too much on nostalgia featuring classic characters instead of focusing on Inferno Squad.

I really want to like the new Battlefront II but geez the reviews really convinced me otherwise. I can forgive a few early technical issues that will be patched, but the short and ultimately unimaganitive single player campaign and especially the micro-transaction nonsense is just too much. Glad to see EA is getting some comeuppance but I will wait for the end of the holiday season to see if the damage is real. No doubt EA will return micro-transactions to the game as it is built around microtransactions. Thanks Xuul for the interview with the developers of Galaxy In Turmoil. I will have to check it out! I also appreciate that you mentioned the old Battlefront II (2005). I had a lot of fun playing it back in the day and I would be willing to play it again for PC if there is a revival in the multiplayer scene.

1) When did the problem begin to occur? During the cutscene where Kreia is messing with the Disciple. I am not sure if this is a mod problem or simply the game itself as I have noticed a few oddities with the cutscenes previously. 2) Did you install the latest version of the mod? Yes. Version 1.8.5 3) What version of the game do you have? (Steam, 4CD, KotOR Collection?) What region is the game designed for if it's the 4 CD version? Steam version. 4) Did you update your game as required by your game's region? Yes. 5) Did you install this over the previous version(s), or did you perform a fresh installation as required by the TSLRCM's read-me file? Fresh installation. 8) What other mods did you have installed? Please give an accurate list and provide links to each of these mods - even if they are found on this site.

TSL HK Droid SWTOR Style Models - https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor2/mods/52/? High Quality Blaster Models - https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor2/mods/919/? 9) Can you be more specific about the error? At what point did it happen? There are several cutscenes that occur aboard the Ebon Hawk. After one where Atton speaks with Mira while looking in the starboard(?) quarters at the Exile, Disciple (Mical) and Kreia meditating, Kreia begins being spooky around the Disciple. After she lures him into the corridor, Mira and Atton are still in the hallway. The Disciple is blocked by Mira and Atton continues to stand infront of the bunk area doorway while Kreia disappears and reappears. 10) Have you tried re-downloading the mod? No. 11) Have you tried using a different save game? No. 12) Have you tried starting a new game? No. 13) What Operating System do you use? (List Virtual Machines as well if you are using them.) Windows 10 Home 64 bit edition.

I agree with Lucy that HK-50 wanted the Ebon Hawk ready to fly in case they ever needed to leave Peragus. Sure, the droid tells you, the Exile, to stay put and wait in the medical wing of the station. Yet I think HK-50 was just trying to keep the Exile from wrecking his careful plans or being harmed by exploring the station. You would think HK-50 has basic piloting abilities and would want to leave aboard the Ebon Hawk rather than wait for another ship to pass by.

Ugh, I hope that part about the EA executives is not true. That is just awful! That being said, thank you dg1995 for posting this article. It really puts everything into context such as the location of Visceral's offices no longer being tenable, the gradual bleedoff of staff, etc. A pretty painful story for a studio I really loved. I just hope everyone involved can move on to bigger and better projects.

1) When did the problem begin to occur? On Peragus during the Sonic Imprint mission. When I try to access the maintenance guy's holographic logs, they do not play but just boot me out of the console. 2) Did you install the latest version of the mod? Yes. Version 1.8.5. 3) What version of the game do you have? (Steam, 4CD, KotOR Collection?) What region is the game designed for if it's the 4 CD version? Steam version. 4) Did you update your game as required by your game's region? Yes 5) Did you install this over the previous version(s), or did you perform a fresh installation as required by the TSLRCM's read-me file? No, it was a fresh installation. 8) What other mods did you have installed? Please give an accurate list and provide links to each of these mods - even if they are found on this site. (We don't actually know them all!.) Apologies for the long list. Admiralty Mod - https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor2/mods/140/? Any Spell Mod - https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor2/mods/295/?

At what point did it happen? When accessing the logs Maintenance Station in the Peragus Mining facility early in the game. All the other holographic logs have played so far except these ones. Also when opening the turbolift to Administration, Jana Lorso, the Czerka rep character from Citadel Station will be there. Everytime I use the turbolift the game will spawn another copy of her. 10) Have you tried re-downloading the mod? Yes. 11) Have you tried using a different save game? No. 12) Have you tried starting a new game? No. 13) What Operating System do you use? (List Virtual Machines as well if you are using them.) Windows 10. Update It is plainly obvious now, but the problem was due to a mod conflict. The Jana Lorso Czerka uniform mod I was using conflicted with the Restoration Mod. I should have known when she started popping up in the level. Removing the offending file from my Override did the trick. Adding that one to my list of incompatible mods.

Thank you for your patience and advice. I am currently editing the videos now per Xuul's instructions. I will edit this post when I have finished everything and checked the game. Update I followed the video tutorial as best I could and believe I did everything correctly but the game still refuses to cooperate with my integrated graphics. At least I have pretty HD cutscenes to look at. In all seriousness though, thank you for your assistance everyone. I decided to try the Steam version of the game and for whatever reason it does not crash at the beginning of the game.

EA has enough brand clout that it can run roughshod over the smaller studios it has in their pockets. Even though I should know better, I still feel tempted to buy Battlefront 2. EA is the new dark side of gaming studios. ; )
