Sith Holocron

Who's "multiple"? Do you have a link?

I was hoping for more responses to my question but I guess what I've received so far will have to do for now. I've sent out emails to some skinners in PMs. If anything ever comes of it, I'll point this thread to any resulting work. I'm still keeping this thread open though . . . just in case other suggestions come in. Sorry about the vague "cloak and dagger secrecy" about this, folks. It's a pain when you're trying to keep a surprise sometimes.

I don't think you need living characters or voices. You could have lotsa corpses though! Mika Dorin, the bartender? Dead. Kobayashi (from BOS)? Dead. Verbal the Droid (from BOS)? Broken. Dak Vesser, Juhani's friend from the Valley of the Dark Lords? Dead. . . . and so on. You couldn't include anyone that could have possibly been killed in the previous game. Seeing the area after a Sith civil war had broken out could interesting as well. Perhaps you could make a small quest trying to figure out how each of the characters died.

Instead of clogging up Effix's mod release thread, why not make a request for something that matches your vision in the Request section? Update: Re-reading this, this may come off as dismissive but that truly wasn’t intended. If you feel there’s something to your suggestion, why not flesh out your idea as an official request.

I'm trying to gauge interest of our readers of who they think are the best environmental skinners that are currently active in the community. When I say skinners, I'm not talking about folks that exclusively do textures for either technical readouts (monitors and the like) or NPC skinning. In this particular case, I'm leaning more towards an expertise in walls, floors, and rock faces. After a list is assembled, I'll likely reach out folks that are both active and not working on a project. There's a mod that I have in mind that may benefit from some polish. (I'll not reveal that mod in this thread as I don't want to possibly offend the maker of the mod I'm privately musing about.) But enough of my yammering on, who do you folks think are the good active skinners out there?

Isn't all of this a case of putting the cart before the horse? What content would you put in these modules? You probably should work that out before thinking about remaking this location.

Well, there's always this mod if you thought KotOR2's Korriban was too short.

So when the above conversation was a current thing, I wondered: Has anyone ever asked Obsidian for the line? So I did. Here's the response that I received today. So . . . feel free to bug Disney directly. Just don't say I sent you.

Using the tech numbers?

This request is a test . . . of how stubborn some of you are about English letter forms and Arabic numerals appearing in a Star Wars game. (Never mind that there's already an in-universe explanation about that but why let logic stop us now?) If you hate seeing Arabic numbers appear in the game, you must really hate the swoop portion of the games because you see these. That texture is called "LMG_Numbers" in both games. How long can you keep from fixing this? Please note: Even if you do complete this mod, I won't be updating my Swoop Monitors mod to use a new texture.

Hopefully, Project Starforge won't forget to credit your work in adding the legal information when submitting the mod. Good luck!

. . . a few hours later What do you with folks that ragequit in such a dramatic fashion? You smile and nod, and let them calm down on their own. (Which I've done now.) There's another problem I would've had with the video even if I had figured out all of the above: the skyboxes. The skyboxes used in the "Part 4" picture above are combination of my Coruscant skybox and Sharen Thrawn's Nar Shaddaa skybox. I can't release that merged skybox without ST's permission so the video seems to be a moot point, huh?

I need this program, FS. Could you either send it to me or upload it to the site permanently?

Have Project Starforge upload the mod. If you find this answer unsatisfactory, PM one of the other staff members for further guidance.

RAGEQUIT! Well, this project at least. Here's what I wanted to do. The Landing Video would have covered all three areas of the mod preceded by an orbit shot. The pan would have been quick but the EH green screen would have only shown up after the pan stopped moving. (I even had a skybox set up for the fountain module - no one ever pointed out that there's a blue Dantooine sky above that room but I sure as hell noticed it.) On to Part 4 though . . . (The takeoff video would have been much shorter - going straight from a take off (part 4) to leaving Coruscant's orbit (part 1).) The problem was even after acquiring 3DS MAX, Adobe After Effects (for the engine glow) and having NWN MAX, I could NOT get the buildings to load up. The frustration is extreme. It's too much work for a mod that I wasn't ever really crazy about in the first place. Not having something to release at least saving me the pain having the release be either outright ignored or nitpicked. Hopefully, one of you have loads more talent than I do because I'm tossing in the towel on this one.

I'm satisfied what I received but if folks wish to continue discussing the topic, I won't consider it hijacking.

So I tested DP's fix. Looks better to me so thanks, DP!

Is it a mod for another game? Is it a physical item that someone is selling? More information is needed.

Who is Kol Skywalker?
