      @VP: None of my save games worked anymore; not even a new game would launch. I

  2. Getting worse, Kotor doesn't want to load games anymore... I guess I might have to reinstall?

      Try loading from an Autosave first, then loading a regular save.

      Query: You did make sure to disable frame buffer and soft shadows too, yes?

    3. Quanon

      Quanon

      OMG, yes, that did it! Frame Buffer effects where switched ON! It works again, thanks a lot HK-47!

      Feel a bit stupid now >_>

  3. Happy New Year Everyone! Let 2016 be another amazing modding year!

  4. Major upgrade done for my PC, new mobo, memory, cpu and graphics! WIN10 just kept working, no re installing business, sweet!

      Quanon

      I do have an SSD, but also still a regular HD drive. I just use the SSD for Windows and a few programs like 3Ds Max and Photoshop. But the games run nicely now ^^

      Nice! One day I'll upgrade my PC, but that's gonna be a bit, because I'd practically need to replace *everything*. What graphics card did you get?

    3. Quanon

      Quanon

      What I got: Mobo => MSI Z710A PC Mate, CPU => I7-6700K with Master Cooler Hyper 212 EVO, Graphics card => MSI ALD Radeon R9 380 4Gigs and 8 Gigs Ram from Seaking? Can't remember the brand :P

      I know how that is. I have started a routine to help me sleep every night, but it usually still takes hours. Try drinking some milk, flex and keep your muscles flexed for 20 seconds while laying in bed, and try zzzquil or a benedryl before bed.

      Héhé, I've started to practice Tai-Chi and it helps to go through my movements, takes the tension away. But it's more a matter of the mind. I can be very restless, I tried reading, but I get so into my book I keep on reading and suddenly, 3 hrs have passed... Not good ofcourse. x-D

    4. Vriff

      Reading has always made it worst for me too. I get too engrossed in the book and lose track of time and keep telling myself "after this page/chapter".

  8. Frustrating; Kaurora 13 crashes, no emitter fun for some reason. And older version of Kaurora don't work on Win10 :- /

    1. DarthTyren

      DarthTyren

      I have 8.1, and won't update to 10 ;)

    2. Quanon

      Quanon

      Haha, I'm not sure what's so bad about Win10. I haven't been following the whole OS scene that much anymore. :)

       

    3. DarthTyren

      DarthTyren

      As far as OS's go, if they were still selling new Windows 7 computers when it came time for me to get one, I would have that instead of 8. I don't even want to touch Win10.

  9. At last victory! A working walkmesh! Step by step build it up and now works like a charm!

    1. DarthTyren

      DarthTyren

      Huzzah! What made it work?

    2. Quanon

      Quanon

      I have 4 pillars, with 4 ramps surrounding a platform. So I had to make sure the player can't go through these pillars.

      I added walls and made them NON-walkable. The walkmesh has 2O materials you can choose from: Dirt, Stone, Metal... Water.

       

      It was because of this NON-walk material I had this odd behaviour. I switched the walls back to Metal and only minor correction on some edges did the trick.

      But I did everything step by step, to see when and where I got faults in...

      Perhaps creating a tutorial alongside your current project will help others wishing to accomplish the same goal.

  10. Another lost battle with the walkmesh, no matter what I try it refuses to work ingame. I'll stop worrying about it, Lighmaps are priorty.

    1. DarthTyren

      DarthTyren

      Maybe it's not about finding bad verts. SS sent this to me in a PM: "turn your walkmesh into a poly, select all the vertexes, and hit "Weld". Weld to 0.1 cm, there was a huge difference in the number of verts before and after." Huge lifesaver.

    2. DarthTyren

      DarthTyren

      Also, if it refuses to work ingame, it might be that you've decompiled it in order to work on it. I remember having that problem with one of your BoS areas.

    3. Quanon

      Quanon

      Yes, decompiling models is bad voodoo, I've been trying to edit my old BoS areas to include lightmaps, but they crash the export script or Kaurora.

      It might be the loose verts and SS method might be the anwser.

  11. walkmesh keeps being annoying. It either crashes Kaurora or it has faults ingame...

      I was thinking the same on the Z-coords. But Trimesh button? How can it be I miss something like that :P

       

    3. Sithspecter

      Sithspecter

      No, don't use the Trimesh button!! It will only complicate things.

    4. Quanon

      Quanon

      Lol, to late, tried to use it, but.. haha, no go, still buggy walkmesh.

      Guess I'll have to start over again, *le sight*... kotor modding at it's best :D

  12. Lightmaps working, but the area model is upside down somehow x-s

    1. DarthTyren

      Uh, MDLOps has some sort of funky problem with everything, save certain body models.

  13. Working hard on lightmaps. Alas, the export script sets it value 'null'. Not good >_

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      That's annoying. SG or a different project?

    2. Quanon

      Quanon

      It's for SG. But it's going ok, it's not crashing at least :)

    3. Fair Strides

      Fair Strides

      You can probably get VP to mimick his nwmax fix for 3DSMax2014 for the export script from KAurora...

      Told you steam would be good :)

    2. Quanon

      Quanon

      Lol ;)

      I found an easy solution on the GOG forums; looks like 2 ati.dlls caused the problem.

  16. Misplaced my Kotor discs....

    1. VarsityPuppet

      perfect time to get Kotor on GOG or something. Disc Free!

    3. Quanon

      Hmmm, I'll go with GOG, steam can be a bit sluggish. Then I need to install all the fixes for TSL again.

       

  17. Fresh install of 3Ds Max done! Photoshop ready to go!

  18. Should get back to work on my mods. But feeling so lazy... Somebody kick me already! :P

  20. BoS areas seem to be top heavy. Wonder if slicing them up would work as a patch?

    1. HK-47

      HK-47

      Query: "Top heavy"? How so?

  21. Trying to render lightmaps for my BoS Areas. 3Ds Max keeps on crashing on exporting. :-/

    1. Sithspecter

      Sithspecter

      Have you gotten Quanon's tutorial on it? It's very handy.

    2. DarthTyren

      DarthTyren

      That's how I got started (thanks Q!) I then got disbeliver's tutorial, but that didn't help much. I don't quite know where i went wrong.

      @DarthTryen: http://www.mediafire.com/download/fw387jah8tm3ugx/Lightmap.rar

       

      I'm not sure if I released the above tutorial on LF, it's a more recent one.

      I explain how to create your lightmap and also how to setup the lights, to get a nice quality.

       

      I do use an extra tool, it's small plugin for 3Ds Max, to help me out with the UVWs:

      Kate The Bionic Uterus

      Ah yes I Know of that site... you just don't know what else is hidden within the game files. Go read my blog entry on "Security" but thanks for mentioning the site. I will now make a note to write about it further in my upcoming bog post, "Security Part 2" As it stands right now I would much rather spend the 8 dollars and buy the disks. I mean come on eh, we are talking about 8 dollars. Since Canada uses 1 and 2 dollar coins which I usually leave in my car for when I buy c...
