Not if the FBI keeps targeting sites like MegaUpload. It'll be back though - different name, different disguise, but the same concept.

Indeed it shall VP indeed it shall. Although I do commend President Obama for his implied veto threat of SOPA/PIPA he does still want some sort of anti-piracy legislation which is unfortunate as I really don't know how bad the type of legislation he signs into law would be, all I know is it wouldn't be as bad as SOPA/PIPA whatever it is. I don't blame the POTUS for the fall of megaupload but, rather the FBI itself as I have said the investigation into megaupload has been going on since the Bush administration so it seems like the FBI acted on their own.

Well, using MegaUpload to get TSLRCM files to other members, this obviously sucks. Good thing they're all saved though...

If you want to easily get personal files to TSLRCM members I recommend using dropbox which is in fact what K1R uses and it works very well for keeping the files together and getting them to other members.

There was a lot of stuff going on this afternoon (for Australians, that is). You might want to read the official statement from Anonymous:

Just one more reminder, this isn't about SOPA. This is about the FBI making a (IMO) stupid decision and now having to deal with the repercussions.

Anything that is a threat to the internet should put everyone on alert including this decision by the FBI, and the bills SOPA and PIPA. Yes this decision was stupid, from my understanding the FBI has been investigating megaupload since during the Bush presidency so the investigation has been going on for years. This does make me curious of whether or not the FBI will go after other file sharing sites such as mediafire for example though.

I know the government went after the site owners. I wonder if they will be going after each individual that posted stuff up there too.

I highly doubt that as that would take too much time and isn't worth it. If the US government went after all of us who used megaupload at one point or used a torrent then almost everyone on the internet would be prosecuted.

What both sides of the aisle Democrats and Republicans do not get is that the internet works best as anarchy without any government interference.

Excellent work by Anonymous. We cannot allow a free internet to be destroyed. It is a threat to everyone from beta restorers to fan sites. I and other political activists have been fighting SOPA and PIPA in any way we can.

Just a reminder the hiatus on K1R will end in less than a month. I have college finals tomorrow and Tuesday,and I will be spending Christmas time with my family. We also know that people will be celebrating new years day so Jan. 1st will be the last day of the hiatus. Fellow team members I look forward to riding the K1R progress train with you all again starting Jan.,2,2012. -ZM90

I'm done with college now until next semester and will be spending time with my family next week. K1R will be back soon.

Personal Game of the Year: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)

Rating: 10/10

Why:It's the longest 3D Zelda adventure I ever played. The changes to the formula make it so fresh and yet it still feels like Zelda. It's got 1:1 motion controls that make the combat amazing. The overworld feels like a dungeon in some ways, characters have more depth to them than previous titles, and the dungeons are some of the best in the series. It has a very good difficulty level and one of the most epic story-lines in the history of Zelda. Truly the best way to cap off the celebration of 25 years of Zelda.

Most people have more time off during the holidays, not less.

Well college barely gives me a break like seriously I have only two days off next week that are not weekends and that is my Thanksgiving break which I will probably also spend with my family as well. That's just me though but,as far as I know Fallen Guardian barely gets a break from school too. Not sure about other members this temporary hiatus is mainly based on my communications with Fallen Guardian but,if other members feel up to it they can work on K1R but,the hiatus is just basically saying they are not required to until January 2.

Greetings everyone. I am sad to announce that there will be no more K1R updates for a while because the project is being put on hiatus until January,2,2012. Why is it being put on hiatus you may ask. A excellent question and the answer is this. Real life with college and the holidays has gotten in the way and the team barely has any time to work on it. Don't worry the project is not dead we're just taking a break from it until the holidays end. See you all in January.

PS: On a related note fellow K1R member Fallen Guardian's account appears to have been deleted.

Yes, give us screenshots! We love screenshots.

Some of the cut dialog from the preraid scene for Carth,it still needs either to be spliced or have someone do a accurate Carth voice.

What's this? New dialog for Sarna? Yep!

Another shot of some new Sarna/Yungenda content!

Yeah,yeah I know the camera needs fixing on this one! It's supposed to show Zaerdra's face.

The new Sith dialog in the base!

Endar Spire:

- Originally the door to the bridge was broken and had to be repaired by a maintenance droid via a terminal.

Taris:

- Dialog for Canderous if you got the Sith launch codes before meeting him which is only possible with the restored Sarna/Yungenda content.

- Dialog for Zaerdra where she tells the PC the prototype accelerator will only last about 60 seconds before the start of the swoop race.

- There were plans to allow the PC to be able to persuade the vulkars to give you the accelerator before you kill Gadon which is evidenced by the cut dialog where you can get Zaerdra to summon Gadon to give him the accelerator during the quest where you are supposed to kill him, and the condition that determines if said dialog is available is if you have the accelerator.

- A broken droid and a black vulkar was cut out of the undercity. One of the lower city apartments had a plot item called "Davik's Gem".

- The undercity gate guard had cut dialog.

- Dialog for the merchant being attacked by the bounty hunters where he says "Look out, those bounty hunters will kill you!".

- Cut dialog for Sith that attack you in the Sith Base, and a cut dialog option if you have the passcard in addition to a cut large locker with Rakghoul Serum.

There's probably more we discovered that I am forgetting though but that's probably a good chunk of what was discovered.

For those of you wondering what's been happening behind the scenes with K1R lately here's a summary.

Endar Spire - We discovered cut content,restored it.

Taris - We discovered a ton of new cut content,in the process of restoring and fixing up existing restorations.

Dantoinee - We discovered a developer comment in a source script that says you originally needed energy crystals to power the Rakatan terminals in the Dantoinee Starmap ruins.

Hungry for some preview screenshots of some of this? Just ask and I will go in game,take screenshots,and post them.

Glitches and compatibility are something that can be resolved so I am not really too worried about that.

Thanks to the excellent work of Mandalore after I sent him on a recruitment mission over at Lucas Forums K1R is gaining momentum. Not only have we gathered a couple of new team members we also have permission to use some of the already existing mods which saves a whole lot of time (especially on the remaining parts of Taris ) which means Taris = 95% done now. So you all should see at least slightly faster progress now .

Do you have a Carth yet?

For the cut Carth dialog no but,if you want to contribute your voice work to the cut Carth dialog which has no VO you can do that. I'll have to hear it first though,so send it via PM.

The line is "He'll take those aliens away for torture and questioning if we don't do something!"

I'll have to do some hunting but I made minimaps for this area and for the cut czerka offices on korriban,you're more than welcome to these if you want them. (also if I can find them).

Sounds good Stoney .

We've got our own forum now. I think it may be a excellent idea for this topic to be moved there.

Greetings my fellow modders/beta restorers/fans. I can report to you that Taris is almost finished. All we have to do is restore the last of the Sarna/Yungenda content and finish what I was doing to the lower/undercity (which is all done by the lower and undercity restoration mods but,I tried to contact that modder so I could ask if he would contribute his work but,couldn't get ahold of him). Anyway I think I found a way to pretty much get the rest of the Sarna/Yungenda content done. So my fellow modders/beta restorers/fans,it's pretty safe to say expect a teaser of Taris in about a week .

Are you guys planning on restoring the laser trip mine? They actually work in-game if you add them into your inventory, but they appear as and are named plasma mines after you set them. While fixing the "laser" part is probably out of the question, I'm sure making them "work" wouldn't be past a .uti fix.

Completely forgot that existed but,now I remember hearing something about it. We're pretty much restoring everything we can so yes. You can tell we're not skipping content by restoration of Bastila on Korriban,party members in Sadow's tomb,restoration of all of the Sarna,Yungenda cut content,the glow rod,ect.

I got the sith to spawn . Your dialog modification was still needed for it to function properly though so we both get credit. That major hurdle is gone though.

A lot of the mods on that list are only half done, and most are extremely buggy. I should know, having tried just about every one.

Will this mod be restoring the Czerka uniforms to the guys found on Korriban? Like the landing port guards and the salesmen and so on.

I just noticed, what's the impossible difficulty thing that's been restored?

Yeah restoration of the Czerka uniforms would be easy to do. Impossible Difficulty was one of the 3 cut difficulties,I decided to restore it back into the game and put it up for download for a small taste of what is to come. The other 2 difficulties that could not be restored due to space issues are Very Easy and Hard.

Which cut lines?

*interested*

I believe it's the ones where Juhani speaks of Korriban's evil and how it affected her. I don't remember where they are though so I'll have to look for them.

Guys,Bastila on Korriban and the party in the Tomb of Naga Sadow are done now. This was my second successful script compiling . I'm not a scripter but,I'm pretty good at everything else so I'm proud my script works .

Anything you need a hand on on the half-done list while I'm working on the cut Sith dialogue on Taris?

Sure,make a script that will allow Bastilla to be in the party for Korriban. That would go along nicely with my near finished restoration of party members in Sadow's tomb.

Have you made any headway into restoring the Iriaz creatures to Dantooine?

Not yet but,I have made headway into several different pieces of cut content. The problem with me is I work on a piece of cut content then I sometimes skip to another like how I was working on the extended version of the Sunry trial at Manaan then went on to do something else. I always come back to stuff later though. What happens to me is I lose interest in working on a certain piece of cut content then I work on another one. That's always been a problem with me as a beta restorer despite the fact that I am very passionate about beta/cut content.

Things I have made headway into include

Sunry Murder Trial

Sith Board Ebon Hawk

Lower City Cut Content

Undercity Cut Content

Injured Sith in the Unknown Regions Temple

Injured Sith on the Leviathan

Alternate way of getting the Sith Base passcard on Taris (almost complete)

As well as others I am not remembering right now.

Anyway for those wondering why I am restoring things that normally conflict with the story and how this will work let me explain.

The things that normally conflict with the story you will usually need a extremely high persuade to see such as Bastila on Korriban or party members in Sadow's tomb. The idea behind this is not only are we giving you extended scenes and extended areas we are letting you play KotOR your way with these alternative scenarios. So the whole purpose of K1R is to give the players a extended game and to allow them to play KotOR their way even if it means adding a little of our own content to open up the options. Sounds like a pretty good deal doesn't it?
