Sith Holocron

Are you familiar with the M4-78 documentary series that Xuul and I have done? If so, be aware that I'll eventually have to sit down and work on the next chapter. (A new chapter will be on its way to the sometime in the near future - have no fear.) The next chapter that's coming to the playlist covers Darth Stoney's version of M4-78. That means the one I'll have to start writing after that is the M4-78 Enhancement Project. If you've played the EP and had any head-scratching moments, what better way is there to get those answers than by posing a question or two that I can present to the makers of the mod to have them answer and/or explain? There's lots of material to cover here: the initial version, the 1.2 update, the 1.3 update that's exclusive to Steam (and I've never even played), and the 1.4 update still being worked on right now by zbyl2. If you have questions about the past or current versions up to 1.3, would you please let me know by listing them below? I'll credit you in the video as long as it's a family friendly name. (You may also be un-credited, if you so desire.) I would suggest holding off on questions about the future version, as I plan to split the M4-78 EP content into more than one part. I might even do a walk through video once the 1.4 material has been covered. (Apparently, I'm a masochist and my work is never done.) To our viewers, thanks for your patience in our slow roll out of the content. Your enjoyment is why I do this.

View File More Subtle Animated Ebon Hawk Monitors (still not including Galaxy Map) More Subtle Animated Ebon Hawk Monitors (still not including Galaxy Map) (version 1.2) =============================================================================== ORIGINAL RELEASE: 25 MAR 2017 UPDATED RELEASE: 31 MAR 2017 LATEST RELEASE: 03 NOV 2018 NOTE: The definitive version of this mod can be found here! This is the old version... GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 Description: ============ When Xarwarz was working on a sample of a monitor texture for the Ebon Hawk, I had suggested to him that it could use a bit of animation to liven it up. The led to the original animated monitor mod called "KOTOR2 Animated Ebon Hawk Monitors (not including Galaxy Map)". The screen in this separate version are much closer to the original screens included with the game. They are still animated though. (See animated picture below.) I have updated the fourth screen with a new picture - using one of the screens usually seen on the bridge of the Harbinger but recolored to the Ebon Hawk monitor color scheme. (Besides the old version of that section was static before and something about that irked me.) Recently, Dark Hope has recently Animated Ebon Hawk's Screen HD, which adjusts many of the other panels seen in the cockpit and throughout the Ebon Hawk. With permission granted to me to adjust the credit, I decided to bring to the monitors in her textures in line with my other monitors. (Size reduced for screenshot purposes. Texture is sized at it's original 2048 x 2048.) Though I've placed this in the Knights of the Old Republic 2 section, this mod is compatible with both games. Installation: =========== Decide whether you want the monitors to have glass-like overlay or not and copy the TGA files and the TXI files from the appropriate folder. Place those files in the Override folder. Uninstall: =============== Take them out again. Known Bugs: =========== None known at this time.

Here's what it looks like in the actual game. Thanks to @Mellowtron11 for providing the game save so I could get this video done relatively quickly! BTW: Looking for something a little more vibrant?

But it works great in GIMP. Thanks!

I can't use it in my program. Sorry!

You know the loading screens in TSL have those horizontal bars running across them? Could some make a tutorial for a free program so I can simulate that? And could you gauge the level of experience with the program you suggest as "0"? I might want to update a couple of my mods to include loading screens that would distract from the others seen in the game. Thanks for listening!

I haven't done research on EP yet but yeah . . . pretty sure it's his.

Was it mine or was it Sharen Thrawn's? I honestly can't recall anymore but I think it may have been his idea. I certainly pushed it though. Would you rather M4-78 tell you about it? (I mean you could read it either on Wookiepedia or when you recover one of the Alderaan datacrons in SWTOR but this seems more fun.)

Except I'm the reason the Quellii reference was put in. I wrote that backstory because there was nothing in there before. (That's the reason I wanted a decent voice actor for the Inquisitive Droid that can hack his own commands.)

I had to redo one of my videos as I screwed up the audio on it (the Bounty Huner one) and I thought I may as well point the folks here to them in case they haven't seen them. Examples of the LucasArts Golden Guy Examples of the LucasArts Golden Guy, Part 2

Once version 1.5 finally comes out, someone could in theory make a mod to add a subplot about the doomed Sith into the game. However, I don't see a big market for it frankly. To me, the more interesting story is if the Sith didn't inititally establish the colony, who did? Have you found the answer to that, yet?

And if you're interested in checking out another thread on the same subject, there's always this one.

Not every corpse on a battlefield in a war movie deserves a back story. The same applies here.

Gotcha!

Darth Stoney's M4-78. (Not the EP.) When the next one is ready, either Xuul or I will make a new post. Probably it'll be Xuul as he'll be the one uploading it. Plus, maybe there will be some new site news by the time the movie gets released to the public. There's that to consider as well. Edit: Merged my posts.

Next chapter isn't ready yet but ... It should be close to a half hour long.

Looks like something made by Apple.

These might help? YMMV http://www.rebelscum.com/TAC09McStorm.asp https://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectibles/star-wars-ralph-mcquarrie-stormtrooper-sideshow-collectibles-2003731/
