Introduction Thank you for downloading The Veridian Echo Mod! I hope it will bring new flavor to Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. This mod has taken me six months to make and is still not finished. I am releasing this working but unfinished version with a promise to make a patch for it in the near future. Please forgive the rough edges and enjoy! II. Description So, what the heck is The Veridian Echo Mod? The VE mod is an attempt to re-balance the game play in KOTOR II to make it faster paced and more challenging while placing a higher concentration on advanced tactics and teamwork. In addition to the game play changes I have also worked a good deal on reskinning most of your party members. Some of the changes are subtle while others stand out, but I hope that they are an improvement over the original party member skins. There are few other small reskins included as well. The mod also includes a completely redone weapon set meaning that all of the games included weapons have been modified to deal more damage. The weapon boost effects both your enemies and your weapons making the fights more intense and more oriented around dealing damage before your opponent does. The bosses in the game have been given boosts too and are much more formidable opponents now. The GUI has been cleaned up to make it a little less in your face. Combat sounds have also been given a makeover. The mod also comes with several new items and weapons. III. Installation Instructions Installation is completed in four steps: 1. I highly suggest you empty your 'override' folder of all files. If the 'override' folder is not empty I cannot guarantee the VE Mod will work. I apologize that this mod does not use the TSL Patcher tool; some of the .2da files have so many lines changed that it would take me many hours to input all of the data. Perhaps later when I have freer time, I will remedy this problem. 2. Extract the files inside the mod's 'override' folder into the game's 'override' folder. 3. If you wish to install any of the extra skins or game play modifiers do that now. Other mods can be installed over the VE Mod now too if you wish. Please note though that no third-party mods or tweaks are guaranteed to work with the VE Mod. 4. Run KOTOR II and start a new game. Enjoy! IV. FAQ Q. Can I load a game in progress and still have the changes provided by the VE Mod? A. Some of the changes will be present such as skin changes and general game play changes. Some other changes will not take effect though such as any weapons you had when you loaded your game will not be boosted, party members will not have their custom equipment if you had already recruited them, and other changes. Q. The game crashed. What do I do? A. As stated above this release has not been fully tested and there may be many bugs that I missed. So if you run into a problem, email me at Torthane@gmail.com and I will try to help you out. Q. I keep getting my butt kicked in game. What can I do? A. First check the difficulty level and turn it down if it isn't already. Next rethink your strategy, set up traps with mines, take advantage of Atton's sneak attack ability, use blasters and keep your distance, or use force powers like revive. If that doesn't work use weapons or force powers that stun your opponent and don't sacrifice damage for defense. If even that doesn't work then I can't help you anymore. Sorry! Q. The game is too easy. Can I make it more difficult? A. Try playing on hard or install the realistic combat folder. If that isn't tough enough try the masochistic combat folder. If that doesn't work for you, go join the army, normal life isn't enough of a challenge. Q. A lot of the portraits are the same. A. I know. I didn't have time to finish them all. The patch will have the rest. Q. How do I uninstall the VE Mod? A. Delete its files from the 'override' folder. Q. Why don't the Asian and Black female PCs have the new undies? A. Because I didn't have time to reskin them yet. The patch will include some. Q. Can I have my Female PC wear Visas’ or the Handmaiden's undies? A. As long as your female PC is Caucasian then go to the 'extra choices' folder and follow the instructions. Q. Can I have my male PC wear Visas’ or the Handmaiden's undies? A. As long as.......NO! Q. The realistic combat is not realistic. A. I didn't have time to test it so you get what you get. The idea is that it is more realistic than normal. I.e.; stuff does more damage. Q. Atton has a line down the middle of his face. What's the deal? A. The line is due to a strange mapping error that I have tried to fix forever, but have found no solution. I apologize for the line and assure you that I am still trying to fix it. Q. I have a suggestion for the future releases of the VE Mod. Do you want to hear? A. Sure, email your suggestion to [See read-me in game folder for contact information] and I'll try to look it over. Q. Can I use some of the files in this mod for another mod? A. Please read section VI. Q. Why are some of the item pictures missing? A. Once again I didn't have time to finish them. The patch will fix this. Q. Visas’ undies are too skimpy. Can I fix this? A. Don't tell her to take off her clothes. Q. Why so much about underclothes? A. Who's asking the questions? Q. Why isn't the mod perfect? A. Guess. V. Credits and Thanks.

New Sounds by Oddball_E8 ________________________________ Description: ________________________________ This mod just changes the default blaster sounds and some of the grenade sounds. ________________________________ Creators Notes: ________________________________ I wanted a more "umpfy" sound to the blasters since I thought the original sounds were a bit bland, so I mixed the original sounds with some sounds I have used in other sound mods for games with "real" guns. I also replaced some of the grenade sounds for the same reason, but here I didn’t mix them with anything, I just used the sounds from my Combat Mission mod. I will make some more sounds, mainly the "bounce" sounds of grenades and also the impact sounds from blasters since I want these to have an "explosion" feel to them... not too much, but a little. ________________________________ Files Modified: ________________________________ cb_gr_fragment.wav -not mixed cb_gr_plasma.wav -not mixed cb_gr_stun.wav -not mixed cb_gr_thermal.wav -not mixed cb_sh_blast1.wav -mixed with original cb_sh_hvybl1.wav -mixed with original cb_sh_medbl1.wav -mixed with original cb_sh_pwrblast1.wav -mixed with original ________________________________ Feedback: ________________________________ Any and all feedback can be sent to the author at [See read me for contact information] cb_sh_pwrblast2.wav -mixed with original Submitter Sith Holocron Submitted 02/28/2020 Category Mods K1R Compatible No

View File JdNoa's AniCam (Beta 3) Part of the... AniCam Author: JdNoa - [contact info in read-me] Notes on dlg fields compiled from observations by Tupac Amaru, Dashus, and JdNoa. Tupac Amaru did most of the testing for this. Thanks! Thanks also to tk102 for updating DlgEditor for us & Darth333 for passing it along quickly. It made testing *much* less painful. Thanks to several people for their notes/code about the mdl format: Torlack for notes on binary mdl and for NWNMdlComp, sorcerer for notes on ascii mdl, and cchargin for MDLOps. --------------- Version --------------- Beta 3 - Dec 1 2005 History: beta 3 should fix the bug where cubic interpolation treats angles as numbers and so interpolates the wrong way across the 360 degree mark. --------------- Description. --------------- AniCam is an internal tool used by TSLRP (The Sith Lords Restoration Project). It is being released to the public "as is". There is no warranty, implicit or explicit, of any kind. AniCam is an animated camera editor for KotOR 2. Animated cameras are just models in a specific format. AniCam lets you open & edit existing camera models or create your own. You can then use the animated camera model in a .dlg. --------------- Installation --------------- Requirements: JRE 1.5 or newer. (Developed with 1.5.0.04). AniCam will not run with JRE 1.4. Simply extract this zip to your preferred install location and run the jar file, AniCam.jar. --------------- Uninstallation --------------- Delete the files that came in the .zip, plus the configuration file anicam.conf (if it was created). --------------- 1. How to use AniCam: --------------- --- 1a. Basics: Fill in your desired camera name and the length in seconds of the camera shot. Add entries for your camera. An entry needs the time in seconds, position as x,y,z, and orientation as h,p,r. (heading, pitch, roll). To add an entry, select "insert row" from the Edit menu or type ctrl-i. Orientation is done in degrees. Straight ahead is (0,90,0). Left is (90,90,0). Right is (-90,90,0). And so on. If you're getting position from WhereAmI, keep in mind that the Z location given is lower than what you see (I think it's the location of your feet). You probably want to add 3 or 4 to get a shot at eye level. When you have all of your entries, select save from the file menu. The files cameraname.mdl and cameraname.mdx (which is an empty file) will be created. These can go in your override folder. To use the new model, set the camera model field in a dialog, then in the dialog entry/entries that will have the camera shot, set the CameraID to -1, use CameraAngle 4, and set CameraAnimation to a useful number (probably 1200 or 1000: see part 2 for details). An example: Entry Time x y z h p r 1 0.0 -70 20 3.5 0 90 0 2 3.5 -70 30 3.5 70 90 0 3 4.5 -70 31.5 3.5 50 45 0 4 6.5 -72 31.5 3.0 30 0 0 with animation length 7.5. This will (1) start looking straight ahead, (1)->(2) move along the y axis and rotate left, (2)->(3) rotate right and down while moving a little more along the y axis, (3)->(4) rotate right and point straight down while moving a little along the x axis, then (4) hold position for 1 second. -- 1b. Interpolation: If interpolation is selected, then when you save, extra intermediate entries will be generated to smooth out changes in position and orientation. So, if your entries have the camera going straight forward, and then moving left, instead of an abrupt transition from forward to left, the camera will move in a curve. If interpolation is not selected, what you entered is what you get. Sudden changes in direction will be abrupt. -- 1c. Importing: You can import from a binary model, an ascii model, or xml. For both binary and ascii models, I'm only looking for the data found in the standard animated camera models. This means that there is a single node, called camerahook, with animations called CUT###W (where ### is a number, usually 001), which has positions and orientations. The import routines can't handle anything else - no mesh nodes, no emitters, etc. (Note that, if you're looking at the original camera models, importing 003EBOcam.mdl will fail because they misspelled "camerahook" - the camera won't work in-game, either.) The XML import is *very* limited and has pretty much no error checking. It was set up to import data from Excel. If you enter your time, position, and orientation in Excel - like on the main screen for AniCam, but without the "entry" field - and then save as XML, you should be able to import into AniCam. --------------- 2. Indices, Multiple Animations, and your Dialog --------------- -- 2a. Multiple Animations and their Indices One camera model can have multiple animations. As a .dlg file can only have one associated camera model, this lets you do multiple animated camera shots in one dialog. (An example: kreiatch.dlg in 301NAR uses 2 of the 3 animations from 301narcam). Each animation has a name of the form CUT###W, where ### is a 3-digit number. The number should be 001 or greater. If there is only one animation, usually the single animation is called CUT001W. This is not required (101percam uses CUT002W). When you add an animation to your camera model, the ### is what you're putting in the "New Index" box - so if you enter 5 and click New Animation, you'll get a new animation called CUT005W. -- 2b. Some general notes on using animated shots 1. Once you start an animated camera shot running, it *keeps* running, in real-time, even if you've switched to static shots. If you do 'start animation'->static shot->'continue animation', the second animated shot will probably be at a different position/orientation if the user clicked to skip one of the earlier nodes in your dialog, or if they had to choose a response. 2. Only one animation will run at a time. If you 'start animation' with CUT001W, then 'start animation' with CUT002W, then 'start animation' CUT001W again, the final call will start back at the beginning of CUT001W's camera shot... it won't pick up where it left off the first time. And if you do 'start animation' CUT001W -> 'start animation' cut002W -> 'continue animation' cut001W, the 'continue animation' will continue with cut002w, not cut001w. Once you start a given animation running, it's the only one you can use until you start another one. -- 2c. Your .dlg file: Useful fields are Camera Model in your dlg header, and CameraID, CameraAngle, CameraAnimation, Delay, and WaitFlags in your entries. -- 2c.1 Camera Model In the dialog header ("General Properties" in DLGEditor), set the Camera Model to your new camera's name. -- 2c.2 CameraID and CameraAngle Every node that is animated uses CameraID -1 and CameraAngle 4. (Although all the Obsidian .dlg's use CameraAngle 4, other CameraAngle values will also work.) -- 2c.3 CameraAnimation You also need a CameraAnimation field in each entry using an animated camera shot. CameraAnimation is where you specify which animation to use if you have multiple animations. 'start animation' is 1200, 1201, etc. To start CUT001W running, use CameraAnimation 1200. To start CUT002W, CameraAnimation 1201. And so on. 'continue animation' is 1000. Or 1001, 1002, but... ...in the official .dlg's, at the very least, 1000, 1001, 1002, and 1401 are used - but testing doesn't show any difference in using them. If you start with 1200, then call 1001, it's not going to jump to the other animation. If anybody sees a difference between these, please let me know! -- 2c.3a Start/Continue and the end of the animation Your animated shot is 20 seconds long, but you gave the user a choice of responses in between animated shots, and they took 30 seconds to pick a line. What do animated .dlg entries do after the end of the animation? If the entry is set to 'continue animation', it will hold the last position/orientation from the animation. If the entry is set to 'start animation', it will re-start the animation. You could probably do some looping with this. If you reach a 'start animation' entry and the current animation hasn't finished, the behaviour depends on which animation you specify. If it's the same one that's already running, it won't restart - it'll continue, acting like a 'continue animation' entry. -- 2c.4 WaitFlags If you set WaitFlags to 1 and use 'start animation', the entire camera shot (or the remaining portion) will be used in one entry. This won't work if you use 'continue animation'. If you leave WaitFlags at 0, the camera shot will run for as long as the entry does, so you can either have VO or set the Delay field. (WaitFlags = 3 is used in kreiatch.dlg, but I've seen no difference between WaitFlags=3 and WaitFlags=0 in my testing). Setting WaitFlags doesn't block the user from skipping the entry. -- 2c.5 Delay If WaitFlags is not 1, the animated shot in your entry will last as long as the VO lasts, or for the length of your Delay field if it's set. If there's no VO, like the long animated shot of the ruined Dantooine enclave, then you'll want to set Delay to specify how long your camera shot lasts. Delay is set in seconds. Note that if you set Delay=0, it seems to override your VO length, so it may skip lines. If you're not using Delay it should be -1, not 0. -- 2c.6 CamVidEffect doesn't work CamVidEffect will *not* be applied to animated camera shots, but you can use a script to turn video effects on and off. Check out the first two nodes in intro.dlg in 001EBO: they call a_video_effect to turn T3M4's freelook on and off. (Notice that the developers tried to use CamVidEffect!) The a_video_effect script simply calls EnableVideoEffect(VIDEO_EFFECT_FREELOOK_T3M4) or DisableVideoEffect(). Don't forget to disable your video effect, or it will stay on forever. --------------- 3. Some examples from the original files: --------------- These are a few places where camera models are used in different ways: kreia_kr.dlg in 701KOR has a camera shot that spans several entries. Under "{Intro to 701KOR...", it starts at "{Animated camera begins}" and ends at "{Angry at end...". kreiatch.dlg in 301NAR has an animated camera that plays intermittently. It has animated angles followed by static angles followed by animated angles. It also uses two different animations, CUT001W and CUT003W. enc_ruin.dlg in 605DAN consists of one long animated shot.
