Why not just call it an open beta instead?

 

I highly recommend you ask folks not to play it with other mods for the time being as that will color your findings.

The reason is because it is more of a demo as we wouldn't be including absolutely everything that was finished. Yes I did plan to put in the readme that it is recommended not to install any other mods with the K1R demo.

As some of you may know I started K1R in late 2010 in secret. This project has gotten a lot further since it's initial inception. It is now by my estimation 50% complete content wise and I am very happy with what we accomplished together. So I ask the team and the Deadly Stream community should we give everyone a bigger taste of K1R than just "Impossible Difficulty"? Should we release a demo? We could do this almost immediately too we do have enough content for it to be Demo worthy. The only content we would need is the majority of Taris (not all we could hold back somewhat on the content), the Endar Spire, and some of Dantoinee. I wanted to see what everyone thought both on the team and within the community before I went ahead with this.

I'm sure there will be but I gotta ask another question - will you use the already existing content from the demo or are you gonna be making it from scratch? Also, something about this version of the mod - will you include Juhani's cut lines about every planet you visit? It's not much, but it's cool to hear her more often.

Well I had originally planned a demo but, that may not be necessary with K1R 1.0 being 50% complete (content wise) from my estimation. Yes Juhani's cut dialog will be included. If we do ultimately decide to go ahead with a demo though then know it will only be Endar Spire, Taris, and Dantooine.

About Sleheyron... Are you playing to restore it in a next version of this mod? Cause you already said you ain't doing it in this one.

We certainly would like to restore it in the next version. This version is a definite no-go for Sleheyron though. Don't worry there will be plenty of content in 1.0 so it'll all be good.

Hello,

 

I was wondering if anyone knows when this mod will be released. I'm about to start the TSL again after a few years and I'm eager to play, but if this mod will be released any time soon I can wait. Thanks a lot, looking forward to it!

The TSLRCM team hasn't given a release date for 1.8 nor do I believe one will be given.

Oh well, looking forward to see what comes of this. And it doesn't suffer the fate of it's pre-decessors.

I don't think it will as it got a huge boost from it's predecessors and add to the fact this project has restored some content the restorations that came before it did not while also restoring content that back then nobody knew existed. I was very honored that the project's predecessors (particularly Seamhiann) were so willing to give us a boost to give us a chance to carry on their legacy. I still contact Seam sometimes to let him know of some exciting developments as him being one of the original people who was restoring content for K1 I have a ton of respect for him. We shall do our best to give everyone the best K1 experience possible and to finish what our predecessors started.

I got FG started with what I restored of her dialog and he's doing a great job finishing this piece of restored content!

You speed read my post, right?

Not really. I just wanted to respond with a internet meme. I do that sometimes. Anyway if you want a compromise to allow your game to have cut content but, only content that doesn't contradict the final game and is just pure restored content then your option is to vote for NewGamePlus as moving the alternative scenarios and custom content to NewGamePlus would still allow that to exist but, you would only see it if you play NewGamePlus. So since I assume you would not play NewGamePlus installing BOS probably wouldn't hurt anything with a normal non NG+ game.

KRIP? Naw, I'd join the Bloods

 

Just keep K1R

Or you know what I'll just let people call it whatever they want. K1R or KotOR1 Restoration & Improvement Project for those who want a more proper name. That way everyone will be happy name-wise.

If the newly added content is incompatible with BoS: SR then no, you should not add it (except if it's better than BoS: SR, which is highly doubtfull). If it fucks up with canon lore, then you shouldn't add it ("Persuade: Yeah, Bastila, why don't you come with us in the Sith Academy, I'm pretty sure the sith masters there don't know your face."). There are no such things, right? Except for the Bastila part, I could live with that ("Random sith master: Look at this fallen Jedi, he's bringing Bastila with him! Better not to intervene with his doings.").

This all seems a little silly, I would have just ignored SH. Yeah, it's not TSLRCM, but so what, K1 wasn't a broken game like TSL. In order to add some left out content, you're gonna need to do some extrapolation. If you don't like it, don't install the mod.

 

 

On a side note: isn't making the acronym K1RIP bad juju?

Yeah I lol'd myself when I noticed it but, I'm not superstitious so yeah but, if it makes you feel better it could be changed to K1RIMP. Yeah you are absolutely correct that K1 was not a broken game like TSL and I'm glad you understand my point whenever I say that for some of the cut content to make sense you need custom content like for example without a persuade option to persuade Bastila to go to Korriban how would it make sense in context of the final game. If we had just purely restored content that made sense with the final game then this mod would be nearly done. I'm not joking that is how little of K1's cut content fits perfectly into the final version. A lot of K1's cut content either almost fits but, not quite or has very little leftover, or needs other workarounds to fit. So you get where I'm coming from.

Attention Deadly Stream K1R is receiving a name change. It is now known as the KotOR1 Restoration & Improvement Project. Why the sudden name change? Well as Sith Holocron pointed out to me the mod isn't pure restoration and thus the name change is appropriate. The reason K1RIP has custom content in the first place is to restore things that barely have any data left like the Czerka Offices on Korriban and to restore things that no longer make sense with the final version. Now we have 2 ways to go about the custom content/alternative scenarios and I would like the community to vote on it.

1. We can go with original plans and just use custom content to integrate it all into the game.

or

2. We can go with NewGame+ (if possible to script) so that that way those who want only pure restoration will just have to avoid NG+

Please vote and make your voice heard. Thanks. -ZM90

Then your mod isn't really a "restoration" is it? It's more of a "this sounded neat so we're jamming it in there even if we have to make up stuff" mod.

 

I imagine that would make the mod title a little cumbersome though.

Now SH we don't really add too much custom content normally only things that are necessary for the restored stuff to work with final game (with the exception for "custom content" that is based on developer statements like "Return to Dantoinee"). I'll give you a example.

Okay so for Bastila on Korriban all that was done was I added a option to persuade Bastila and if the PC is successful it unlocks the content for Bastila to go to Korriban and both (Success) and (Failure) are merely lines she uses in the final game. So the only custom content which was added in said case was the persuade option by the PC.

So the custom content's main purpose is to make sure something can be restored to make sense with the final game.

That right there is my main argument, and while some people may be uncomfortable with a bit of custom content here and there it is ultimately better as it ultimately brings more cut content back. Think of K1R as something in between TSLRCM and something like M4-78 EP.

Like M4-78 EP we will add custom content to preserve cut content but, unlike M4-78 EP we won't be adding sidequests based on absolutely nothing official. While return to Dantoinee for example may be considered custom content it will be based on something official at least (developer statements).

So actually I'd call it a "restoration at all cost except by sacrificing already existing content even if that means a bit of custom content mod" but, that name is too cumbersome now isn't it?

If we restored some of the content without any custom content it would force us to cut content from the final game and I don't think anyone wants that but, everyone wants as much content as possible restored. We will be sure to integrate what custom content there is seamlessly into the game so that it will be very hard to tell for those who haven't completely researched it "hmm is this restoration with a bit of custom content or pure restoration".

on this version will you restore everything else or most of it?

I'd say most of it hell we even have plans to restore things that normally do not make sense in the context of the final game (one thing we already have restored for example that doesn't normally make sense in the final game is Bastila on Korriban). As for how those pieces of content play out while at the same time working with the final game well we have to add a bit of content here and there to make it happen. K1R doesn't care if it has to add a bit of original content to bring something back that doesn't normally make sense mainly due to the fact if we don't well there wouldn't be as much cut content for people to enjoy in K1R.

Quick question: Is it possible to restore the ability to upgrade your swoop?

At the minimum we will be taking a look at that I mean we want to if possible but, if it turns out not being possible then don't be disappointed as K1R will still have plenty of other awesome things. The only major thing I would say stands in the way of restoring that is the fact that it's never been done before, hell I don't think anyone has ever messed with the swoop stuff regarding the KotOR games. So in short we don't know but, we'll look into it.

The UK system is:

 

1. Labour - Pretends to still be left-wing, but after what Tony Blair did, calling it "New Labour", is actually right-wing.

2. "Liberal Democrat" - Pretends to be exactly wha their name says, but Nick Clegg entered coalition with the Conservatives and revealed himself to be one of them, making their name the opposite of their affiliation.

3. Conservative - The only party that doesn't pretend they're not right-wing.

 

We do have other parties, but they're not going to get any kind of say in anything (though after the Lib Dems' betrayal, they're going to cease existence in the next few years. Not that it will affect anything).

I feel for you Mandalore, we've got a similar situation over here in the USA.

Here's how it was 3 decades ago.

Democratic Party - Composed of true liberals and moderates.

Republican Party - Composed of true conservatives and moderates.

Here's how it is now.

Democratic Party - a party of mostly moderates, some more sane conservatives, and very few real liberals (Senator Wyden who stood up to internet censorship is one of the few who remain).

Republican Party - a party of conservatives and people who shouldn't even hold office with how much stupidity they spew.

Where does it say that it is TSLRCM compatible? I must have overlooked something

Under "file information" it says "TSLRCM Compatible: Yes"

It should be it does say it is TSLRCM compatible.

Everyone knows that those poor rich people need tax breaks. They make soo much money and all we do is take it away :/. That's so unfair.

 

Yeah, people make a big deal about how ridiculously clashing both the dem and rep parties are - when in actuality, they're on the same side of the political spectrum. One's extreme right, the other, mid right.

I blame the slide right on the batshit insane Republicans driving the moderates out of their party. Hell I think the only 2 moderates left in the Republican Party are Jon Huntsman and possibly Buddy Roemer. If the insane right didn't drive the moderates out of their party then the moderates wouldn't have become Democrats and thus the Democratic Party would not have slid to the right these past 3 decades.

As I said before, the shift to right-wing is everywhere. A few weeks ago, I saw a Conservative MP (the right-wing party in the UK) say they were "the party of the working class". I don't know when "working class" meant extremely rich bankers who went to Oxbridge universities and can affect Cabinet policies if they give the Prime Minister £250,000. Which was admitted, by the way.

You're absolutely right Mandalore. In the United States it's

Center-Right - The Democratic Party (vote for us cause we're not insane!!!)

or

Batshit Insane-Right - Republican Party (We're batshit insane and will destroy the USA before your very eyes!!!)

There's no where for liberals like me who believe in free speech, civil liberties, civil rights, war only as a very last resort, ect to go.

Just beat Xenoblade a few days back and I must say I am quite impressed with the game. In fact I'd call it one of the best JRPGs I've ever played. I thought the plot was great with the whole the Mechon attacked your village supposedly killing someone important to you so you take the fight to them and then eventually after a bunch of plot twists you end up fighting a God who created your own world!!!

My best party was Shulk (for his Monado abilities), Fiora (Speed-Tank), and Sharla (Heal/Support).

I remember fighting Disciple Lorithia who was Lvl.75 who summoned several lvl.70s to aid her and I beat her with a lvl.73 party consisting of Melia (player controlled), Fiora (with Ether Frame), and Sharla (for heal/support) like a boss.

I thought how they were able to have this huge story, yet a ton of sidequests, and a huge world with a ton of exploration was amazing. I also thought the environments were a sight to behold.

One of the best JRPGs and one of the best Wii games. I would definitely recommend it.

Just thought you might like to know about CISPA, if you didn't already.

Its a shame my vote doesn't matter in this country. The majority of people who vote will vote only for dem/rep. It makes me wish more people my age voted, maybe then we could affect change.

CISPA is horrifying, I've already signed several petitions against it and there has been pressure on the White House to oppose it. If the White House does end up opposing it if it passes the house and senate then President Obama will probably sign it in private and when people find out he did he'll probably make up some excuse like "It was veto proof anyway" to try to fool his liberal/progressive base into accepting internet censorship. My political beliefs are like the old school Dems of FDR and Kennedy not this corporate Dem bullshit. Sad how the Democratic Party used to stand for ordinary people yet no longer does, FDR is turning over in his grave. As for Ron Paul I do like some of his views such as ending the US involvement in foreign conflicts and ending the war on drugs and how he seems pretty good on civil liberties. The one major thing that worries me about Paul is him wanting to get rid of the safety net which I think we really need to keep.

I kinda wish the US had a viable "Pirate Party" to fight censorship of the internet but, getting a 3rd viable party with the way our electoral system works is nigh impossible.

Anyway enough of my political ranting .

You wont. Use GFFEditor to apply it to the character instead.

Okay I just need to know how to get GFFEditor to recognize it. I have the custom .ssf file finished. I suppose that the value has to be something other than the name of the file I'm not sure what though.

Well I've pretty much finished up most of the stuff that relates to cut black Vulkar content.

 

And I'm sure that other team members have been hard at work.

Yep FG and I polished up the Vulkar sublevel so well that it will look like it's from the final version of the game.

There were 4 versions of the Vulkar sublevel for K1R

V1.0 - a bare-bones restoration via only connecting the sub-level to the main level via a warp script.

V2.0 - addition of certain items (didn't quite fit), fixed the appearance of one NPC

V3.0 - removal of certain items, addition of different items, addition of VO for NPCs missing it, addition of missing soundsets.

V4.0 - got rid of the too many of one kind of item thing adding in more variety of items, beefed up the enemies, added journal entries, added a mini-boss.

There are also a couple of surprises in the Vulkar Base main level as well.

I am responsible for Sub-level versions 1.0 to 3.0 and FG is responsible for the additions in 4.0.

I restored the Lower City as well but, FG connected the areas for me.

I also worked on restoring the Trask soundset which is finished I just need to figure out how to get KTool to recognize it.
