I am not 100% sure I will include the RoR heads with the project yet but I was thinking of both including it as an optional package and releasing it as a separate mod so that people can use the heads and races from RoR in regular K2 but I will see how it goes when I get around to it.

I have been talking to Thor110 lately,  and I am giving him permission to use the RoR heads in his project.

In the meantime here are some story and design documents if anyone wishes to take a look, in truth it is a mess at the moment.

A lot of different text documents and some images of stuff i've written on paper.

It's not very well presented basically, there are also various design images possibly conflicting ideas who knows.

I need to take the time to go through it and assess it's worth, I think it's all awful at the moment as I haven't properly gone through it.

Below is an updated list of all mods that are included with the Expanded Galaxy Project by Author and then by order of when they were added to the project.

Is this the quest to connect the pylons for Archon Communication?

If so as of 1.5.1 I couldn't find it either, it's on my list of fixes to add to my own altered version of M478EP. ( though this doesn't mean it's not there for 100% I could have missed it too )

1) Here is an example script I use in one of the levels I am working on that should give you the basics, you will have to work your dialog so that it runs this script only for your NPC on whichever reply you want them to walk away on, you might also then want to use a camera so that the camera doesn't pan wherever it wants while the NPC walks away.

2) For a computer you just need to set your dialog type to "computer" instead of "human" on the main entry.

3) The first script also opens a door when they get to a certain location. ( you would have to add the animation before opening the door as the NPC gets to the waypoint )

Hopefully that helps.

Depending on what changes the two files contain it could also be possible to use TSLPatcher for that.

Use TSLPatcher to create an installer by comparing one of the two to the vanilla version, then run that installer to patch the other one. But that only works if they change things in different places or only add entries and don't change them.

Do you or does anyone else think it would be possible ( I might try now you have mentioned this ) to use TSLPatcher in order to update DLG files from K1 to K2 format. ( it can be done manually with K-GFF editor or they can be remade manually )

All that needs doing is two entries need removing from the main section of every dlg file and a bunch of entries need adding to every struct in the lists, I have prepared a list / set of example files already that just contain what needs to be removed or added.

But I might then need to make a changes.ini for every last dialog file with all the new entries for every struct in the lists, I am still hopeful a friend of mine will work on a program to update the dlg files to K2 format or that somebody will figure out a quick way to do so.

This would be a lot of work either way, but I am looking for solutions.

Not that I know of, but you could open it with K-GFF editor and copy across the missing entries / structs, if you can easily locate which structs from which lists you need to copy across then it should be a little quicker. ( I would suggest collapsing everything in K-GFF and comparing them side by side slowly, then copying across the missing entries. )

I was wondering would it be possible to add the ability to delete faces from the walk meshes, specifically Face 80 of "202tel04.wok" which blocks the area behind the door in the Entertainment Module on Telos, faces 86 & 87 can simply be set to metal, but Face 80 is a wall so no matter what it gets set to it blocks the player.

Thanks again for these amazing programs.

No, one can get whatever they prefer. Steam is easier, but exe is better if you want to use other mods.

 

Only times it doesn't ask for install directory, that I know of, is if you already had TSLRCM or M4 installed.

As a hack, if you can't uninstall TSLRCM, you could just have it install on C and copy everything it installs to your kotor folder.

Ah that's good to know for when I get around to getting it on Steam as well for testing my projects with.

I don't know if this will work with the Steam Version either but I find running the "swupdate.exe" or "swconfig.exe" updates the registry for the game when I have several versions of the game installed for testing purposes.

I am not 100% sure as I do not use the Steam Version but I believe you are meant to get the version from the Steam Workshop not the installer itself.

Hope this helps.

Im a tad confused,... been away for a long time. 

Are the files of kotor 1 maps for use in kotor 2 game? 

Was looking at your uploaded files.

In short yes, the v0.4.0 Modders Resource release was a sloppy port of all levels from both games into both games, realistically for learning / saving time, though for anyone wanting to learn they would be better off following my tutorial on porting a module from either game.

In long form the project itself is / was a bit all over the place, but v0.7.9 is completely separate from the Modders Resource version and introduces Sleheyron, Tatooine, Kashyyyk, Manaan, Yavin, Lehon and features a tie in story with the Coruscant Mod.

Currently I have been hard at work decorating Sleheyron as it was completely barren, in doing this I have also laid out the majority of it's quest line.

Thanks to Kexikus I have now included the Expanded Council Mod and used the 7 new council members to tie in the stories of all the new planets introduced into the game.

Could use the Sewers as the lower levels of Coruscant and just rename the Rakghouls Cthon

Interesting idea, I wasn't planning on including the under city though, only the lower city. ( but again this might not happen at all, I have cut it at the moment as I have too many areas to work with.

For the moment here are a bunch of preview screenshots of 0.8.0 which I am still working on with intermittent internet access until I get proper internet installed on the 18th I won't be likely to upload an update until then or afterwards.

My work so far proves that porting The Jedi Masters to Mobile KOTOR 1 should be possible!

A bit of help with continuing this endevour would be very much appreciated!

Possible, sure, likely? No, it will face the same problems as a K2 to K1 port, which is that most if not all of the games scripts will need rewriting, including any from TSL that are used by TJM.

As for loading a save, are you taking a save from K2 and putting it into K1? that sounds like a bad idea to me, there will be all sorts of missing variables.

It sounds like either the models broke during the conversion or you don't have all the textures, it could also be missing walkmesh files, though it sounds like when .vis / .lyt files arent working or are missing and the character doesnt spawn in correctly, cant move and their head is off their shoulders.

Are you just using the modules directly from TJM into K1 mobile? Rebuilding them might help but will only reveal more problems.

It's definitely a good way to learn about kotor modding though, that's why I wrote a tutorial on the porting process.

Talking of TJM I need to try it out at some point, I haven't yet.

What is this fixing? All I see are random screenshots of things. Images that only show the "Before" don't tell us anything.

Sorry I used these screenshots to track down the models missing from the .vis files.

I figured if I showed a photo without the black / missing rooms that I would have the same issue of people not understanding what had been changed, I will upload after shots when I get a chance, I just didn't think it was too difficult to understand what the images were portraying.

For some reason in KOTOR 2 sometimes areas become black and cannot be seen. I believe this mod fixes the respective files and removes the issue.

Correct, this mod fixes this in the areas shown in the screenshots, I haven't come across any more in the game except on Coruscant which required the same fix as the Dantooine Jedi Catacombs.

@Thor110: Were you also using the Aspyr updated version of M4-78 on Steam?

No I am using the original 4CD version along with TSLRCM 1.8.5 and M478EP 1.5.1.

They work as MP3s, you don't need a fake WAV header.

Dunno why some, listed in this thread, apparently crashed the game for people

It crashes the game for me, I removed the references from the dialog file and made some alterations to M4-78 recently, I also tried the files posted by Sith Holocron either on this or another topic and they didn't work for me either ( didnt crash but no sound )

Great job overall to everyone involved in M4-78, it's quite enjoyable once you get past its shortcomings and I think it should be considered a staple mod for most users, the main issues I had were the level that was split into three different pieces really awkwardly, I combined them into one for my main project and then released the fixes as a standalone, I might also alter it so that it is not a requirement to finish M4-78 to complete the game.
