You are too nice! I would never consider a request as pointless as this. I don't even understand the logic in a request like this, but I guess there isn't any!

Oh, when did this happen :( I thought I had played SWTOR quite extensively, my guess is its part of the new content with HK-47 that I also haven't touched. I am not as familiar with the books and writers as some of you seem to be, but I enjoyed SWTOR as a generic star wars mmo, trying to ignore that it was tied to kotor. Unfortunately K3 will never happen and I doubt another Jedi Knight game will happen either, for that to happen they would have to somehow reconstitute the rest of the Jedi Knight series right? Or throw them all out and still make a "Jedi Knight" game, doesn't seem feasible. It is definitely a shame that Jedi Knight did not continue as it had awesome gameplay and multiplayer. I would love to be wrong about these things, but I won't let all this kill my love for these original games.

Though it's a shame I think we have all known for a long time there would not be a sequel, I think the fact it is set outside of the main Star Wars era might hold it apart from the rest and in high regards for the fans of such things, but it is a bit of an estranged thing for other / mainstream star wars fans. SWTOR being atrocious I personally believe is EA's fault, filling it with generic slapstick content and micro-purchases. Thanks to EA & Disney we can and should lose all hope in the future of the Star Wars franchise as a whole... I don't know if you have seen Solo for example, but Disney couldn't even spend the money to make all the Wookies look proper, instead they all look like they are wearing chimpanzee masks, Chewbacca is the only that looks right. The fact of the matter is they don't care about the fans anymore, though now we know they are not going to bother with a remake, this could hold hope for Aperions revival, but I highly doubt it. If we want to see more KotOR content we are going to have to make it ourselves

I know, it was just a mention / thought about what would be needed

Download the mod, find the TGA file, then edit the file, or find the clone texture you want from another game and edit it to match. I am not entirely sure why you would want clones in KotOR but I do like the armour so I can see some reason to it. Use GIMP or Photoshop to add the relevant purple lines, I also don't know about getting the new clone trooper armour as opposed to the original Attack of the Clones armour, you would have to make a new model or import a model from another game, perhaps BF2.

Old messages. New Ideas These are the ideas I had planned for the upcoming demo including re-introducing cut content. Here are some screenshots of odd items in the game I would like to use in maps and ideas I have had. 0_3_2 New Mod Resource & Expanded Galaxy Version, containing a total of 251 module files. https://www.moddb.com/mods/kotor-ii-tsl-expanded-galaxy/downloads/expanded-galaxy-resource

Ah now you have explained it like that I can see it, does look a little strange. I haven't seen it so not entirely sure, have you tried an un-modded game to see if it still occurs? IE : you wouldn't have had any mods that might have changed the models to begin with? Not sure why this is, but I remember reading something about characters having a lot of points on them for animations, most of which the cut-scene characters do not have, though this shouldn't be the case for the main character, but perhaps the head is lacking some of these rigging points.

Not sure if I am blind or just very tired, but cannot actually see what visual error you are on about in any of the pictures except perhaps one of them I can see a strange line, but not sure, maybe open the screenshot in paint and put a circle around exactly what the issue is. I know there have been quite a few character model fixes made though.

I believe that is what subscribing to them is on Steam, though I am not sure I was reading about steam workshop mods the other day and it did say just to subscribe in order to access the mod, so I believe this is the case. Being that I haven't actually used the Steam Workshop for anything yet, I cannot say for sure. I would also imagine some steam workshop content would not be mac compatible, but I would expect it to be listed on the content.

It could be possible to install a mod to an empty folder by deleting the game directory and leaving perhaps the .exe and registry entry in order to extract the necessary contents for any mods that use an installer, to allow for their use on Mac, but this is just a thought. I believe most TSLPatcher mod installations have the relevant files sat next to them, so for most mods this would be easy, but TSLRCM & M478EP are packed into .exe's so would require some form of work around, my thoughts were to install with just a registry entry on a windows machine and perhaps the swkotor2.exe to get the relevant files from the mods without having to individually figure out what is new and or has been edited, but it is also possible the .exe install may require access to files that might be modified, though I doubt it I know that the TSLPatcher is capable or combining mods that edit 2DA files or from what I have read anyway, from there somebody could upload the base files for Mac users.

Yeah, I understand this, I would basically need to rewrite the Endar Spire scripts to work for the Peragus level and this is the plan for a potential demo. ie : Hook the first script of the Endar Spire to the Peragus level instead of the Endar Spire level, then maybe even replace the original maps with the new ones in order to force it to load the correct module / map instead of the existing rim / map. But who knows, it is no doubt going to be very difficult to achieve and may not happen, but I do believe it is possible, just how much work it might be is the question, my thoughts were to re-purpose as many K1 scripts for K2 maps as possible in order to save on time, then just hook the starting script / endar spire map into skipping over to peragus. This would allow to leave the K1 menu intact and simply skip over any alterations that would need to be made, creating a new character might need some work in order for the save file to actually work, or add a quick conversation that serves the same purpose.

What's a game that you love but feel like no one else has played? I saw this posted on Facebook and I thought it an interesting topic that could reveal some gaming gems many of us may or may not know about! For me I decided Silent Bomber on the PS1 was one of my favourite games of which very few people I know have actually played it! Thor110

He already knows this I believe, I may be pursuing the project once my Expanded Galaxy Project K2 to K1 files are completed, it would most likely require re-scripting most of the second game as well as re-creating each and every map / map piece in order to add any Placeable Objects that are not there due to the K1 limit. I have been slowly coming up with solutions / work around ideas for the limitations that would prevent this. Though I myself accept it may still be an incredibly difficult task that I may not be able to achieve. My main focus is the Expanded Galaxy Project - a small storyline for both and the overall ported maps for both games, if my K2 to K1 maps can be fixed to display properly then this could become more feasible, I have already managed to fix Dxun which did not display correctly, I also have a solution for both games ports lacking .vis files. But beyond the fixing of all the maps, there would be a lot of work to do, effectively and potentially re-building the entire second game in the first games engine. Thor110

That is a lot of mods, the best option is to examine which files each mod edits and combine any that replace each other, or to just remove the mod that overwrites anything, my main guess is anything that overwrites 2DA files should be the cause of this, because most of your list of mods are texture mods, but certain mods that you have included that heavily effect the storyline / gameplay are very unlikely to be compatible, for example Alternate Revan Romances will most likely change the dialog.tlk file, as will TSLRCM & M478EP, so your best bet is to slowly remove any mods that might effect the same files.

Might be a little late to mention this but Piriform's Recuva program is a great tool for recovering lost files, I have used it several times to recover projects from accidentally formatted hard drives or emptied recycle bin contents, so keep it in mind for the future ^^ but it depends on how the drives were formatted, be it a quick or a full format. Sorry to hear about this loss. Thor110 Note : I once formatted the hard drive containing my GTA IV project which is also a large project that I set aside some time ago, I was able to use Recuva to get the files back and still have them to this day

Update : I have removed any areas not being used for the moment in both mods. K2 Areas Removed : ( Star Forge, Endar Spire, Ebon Hawk, Leviathan & Extra Modules ) K1 Areas Removed : ( Peragus, Harbinger, Dantooine, Korriban, Ebon Hawk & Extra Modules ) Removing Areas From The Game! To-Do List for things I am currently working on Note : I have been archiving a lot of my old messages to make the topic easier for new viewers, I would appreciate it if others did the same or a moderator could do this for me, thank you. I will be leaving them here for the meanwhile and going through them again at some point in order to pick out any relevant information or ideas I have noted down here.

Previous message and reply about story ideas and anybody who wishes to send me their story ideas.

Perhaps it might be possibe to remove the sonic imprint sensor as if it were a programming spike when choosing the option to destroy the terminal, I think this might be what they mean, rather than have the item and questline left but no terminal to unlock.

Sounds like you are having success, perhaps you will write a tutorial for this process before me, a tutorial is the best and only legal approach to this. Don't forget to credit everybody that helped ^^ note : presumably you are having success with the steps I explained would most likely be necessary for porting the entire game, if so let me know, would be good to know that I guessed most of the process, I found getting the menu and either game to load most of the other games content on PC relatively easy, but it wouldn't start a new game ( I did not try loading a game ) and I do not have K1 mobile to test this on, so all I can really do is speculate. Let me know if you have any more trouble and I will see if I can help any more. If you do not have success I will pick this back up at some point and write a tutorial for the process. Thor110

Great idea and something I might add to my list of things that need to be fixed for the Expanded Galaxy Project. Thor110

I believe the issue with models not displaying animated textures could be a model issue and not a texture issue as during the conversion of model files for the Expanded Galaxy Project I found out that most of the models I converted no longer display animations. This means the problem for some of the weapons you mentioned could be due to issues with their respective model files, this could be fixed by converting them in the correct way. I hope to make more animated textures for the game for the Expanded Galaxy Project, so I will be looking into this and figuring out why some of the map models I converted do not display animations, my thoughts are that their respective surfaces must need a specific setting applied to them in order to display animations. Hopefully this is of some help, along-side the project I hope to overhaul every texture in the game with a new High-High resolution set of textures including animated textures moving the High texture pack down to the medium and leaving the low resolution textures intact. This information is very helpful as if converting to .dds will help I may do this for every texture in the game as well as properly converting and fixing all models in the game, which may be a large amount for the override but users could potentially remove the original models.bif and texture pack files as long as all of the new model files are in the override folder. Thank You for your great resource and information on converting to the .dds filetype as well as your reasoning behind why. Thor110
