I will gladly test this solution. Thanks for your suggestion!

Makes sense...

Well, in practice the only reason to reach Area7 is to find a computer terminal whose function are identical to that in Area12. It seems pretty useless, all considered...

Hello! I'm currently visiting the Sith Embassy in Manaan and I was wondering what the point is with Area 7. To reach that part of the map you have to go through a corridor full with lethal steam but once you reach the other side all you find is a lever to turn off the steam vents (which you could have done before slicing the Embassy computer in Area 12) and a computer terminal just like the one you find in Area 12. There is nothing else. I was wondering what the point of securing a place like this has been... Any ideas? Cheers!

I know you are busy and everyone needs your help, Fair Strides! Take your time and thanks again for your patience.

Let's see if Fair Strides might once more come to the rescue! Thanks for your help anyway though!

Here is what happens! ( ) I am very happy with it. You did say that the texture was used elsewhere though. Having this modification will cause problems elsewhere? Cheers!

Thank you a lot! I will test this very soon and report to you!

Fair Strides explains the reason here. In short, the k_inc_* files (from what I understand) are just libraries that are called by other scripts to allow for the use of extra functions. Compiling an include file does not produce anything.

Well, thanks again for the precious insight and advice. I do not know whether or not it looks like this for everyone but I am pretty sure that when I played the game years ago I did have less graphic issues than I am experiencing now so I am pretty sure drivers are to blame for some things (no idea if this applies here). Since I know nothing about hex editing and modelling I fear I can do little myself to remedy this situation but your last suggestion is more than intriguing: hiding the platform itself sounds a simple and elegant solution, if it does indeed work.

Oh I see... Very interesting, DarthParametric! Thank you for showing me. I suppose there is nothing that can be done then?

No, not at all. I am talking about the landing pad itself, including the sidewalls.

Kexikus, from the little I understand, I cannot make a .ncs file of the above .nss file. That's the problem... In theory, I could extract the whole scripts.bif file where k_inc_man.nss is, change it there and then replace the original scripts.bif in the /Data folder of the game but I wonder if it is even possible to repack extracted files into a new .bif? Alternatively, I would need to find the file in the game that does use the SetTokenRaceTime function included in k_inc_man.nss and change the time constants there. But the problem here is, what file is that?

I would gladly try but I am unsure about how to proceed with it. It's a k_inc_* file... This same file has the following: void SetTokenRaceTime(int nToken, int nRacerTime) { // calculate the time components int nMinutes = nRacerTime/6000; int nSeconds = (nRacerTime - (nMinutes * 6000)) / 100; int nFractions = nRacerTime - ((nMinutes * 6000) + (nSeconds * 100)); //building the time string string sTime = IntToString(nMinutes) + ":"; if (nSeconds < 10) { sTime = sTime + "0"; } sTime = sTime + IntToString(nSeconds) + ":"; if(nFractions < 10) { sTime = sTime + "0"; } sTime = sTime + IntToString(nFractions); SetCustomToken(nToken,sTime); } I believe this part is what creates the actual CUSTOM tokens used in the swoop racing dialogues in Manaan. I should find the script that uses the function SetTokenRaceTime... But how do I find it?

Hello! I am in Manaan and while playing the Swoop Racing minigame, I am reminded of how useful it would be to have a chance of tweaking a little the record times (especially here in Manaan) to give more meaning to the "amateur", "semipro", "professional" racing class by making the time difference more prominent. I noticed how in the file k_inc_man there is this: int QUEEDLE_TIME = 3012; int CASSANDRA_TIME = 2702; int JAX_TIME = 2548; int CHAMP_TIME = 2348; Does anyone know whether or not this is what needs modifying? Is there something else I should be looking for? Thanks!

Hello! I personally consider the original graphic/visual of Knights of the Old Republic to be very nice but this one is really making my eyes sore (each time I play this part I tend to think that there is some graphic glitch with my video card). I am showing a picture of the track before the goal line. Not bad. I especially like the KotOR textures for water. But this... ...instead is really bad. I was wondering if there is anyone who might like to do something about it? I don't know what textures in particular would need changing but possibly it is more than one... Thanks for the attention!

To chime in and add to what Fair Strides said, you may notice how the first of your example is not a conditional script. Conditional scripts start with int StartingConditional() and must return a value of 0 or 1 (like the second example instead does).

Hello! I have reported some issues that I was experiencing when I tested the Duan/Viglo restoration. These are the problems I met: - Talking to Viglo the first time (Male protagonist) causes a weird effect: dialogue starts at distance with Duan whom will slip and fall to the floor (cause: "k1r_dropdrunk") - Talking to Duan the first time (Female protagonist) causes her to slip and fall to the floor and stay there as she delivers the right reply with an odd flash then she delivers the right line again when clicked on from prone position (cause: "k1r_dropdrunk") - Duan facing wrong direction when talked to (cause: "k1r_man26_djl" missing a line) - They get up from prone when I either rummage through their bodies or ask them to wake up and answer more questions - When Duan or Viglo fall drunk the screen slowly fades out to black (it would eventually turn completely to black and never fade in again), when I choose one of the two options, the NPC stands back up - Weird animations (see above and many other odd instances) I would like to know from some people using K1R whether or not they also have been having this kind of problems. If someone can confirm this and would like to test my solution (it did take quite a lot of work to redo much stuff, although I am sorry I couldn't do much about the inconsistency with Viglo's voice over - his speech is slurred when it shouldn't), I have attached a zipped file here. I restored some extra unused VO for both of them as well, rebuilding the dialogue tree, making it more streamlined and consistent, and more. Here it is. (I forgot to add two updated files to the archive - reuploaded) Duan_Viglo Restoration Fixes&Tweaks.zip

I did try adding the two lines to my code above but, just as before (I did try with the DelayCommand), the conversation does not unpause.

Excellent! I am a real fan of your work, Jorak Uln (I am waiting in trepidation for more of KotOR Overhaul!). In this specific case, my only small remark after watching the Harbinger video was that the dark grey tone is quite overwhelming. I am not saying it is bad but it makes the Footlockers, for instance, almost blend against the background. Perhaps a bit more contrast and color variation?

Well, nobody chimed in about my code above so I must assume it will work fine. I have another question about cutscenes and it is how to make sure that the animation I am going to play won't be skipped. I am using this script in a dialogue: void main() {object oMan26_duan = GetObjectByTag("man26_duan", 0); effect eSleep = EffectSleep(); effect eDeath = EffectDeath(); SetIsDestroyable(0,0,1); ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eSleep, oMan26_duan, 6.0f); DelayCommand(6.0, ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eDeath, oMan26_duan)); } It works fine but I would like to make sure that the player doesn't skip through the animation by pressing the left mouse button. I made a few attempts using NoClickFor() (but it doesn't seem to work for me, I can still use the left mouse button to move the conversation ahead without being forced to wait a single second) and ActionPauseConversation()/ActionResumeConversation(). Using the latter I only accomplished to make the conversation *never* advance. Any advice? Thanks!

I have been thinking of that solution myself, DarthParametric... I was just hoping for an easy way out! By the way, do you know how I make a .dlg line be delivered in a bubble box rather than start the conversation cutscene? Thanks!

Oh I see, Fair Strides... Weird... What you are telling me, if I understand correctly, is that I can stop the dialogue from happening so that the conversation won't launch but what I meant was making the character/creature no longer targetable. Strange that the developers never provided a solution for that... I think I remember I used MakeUnselectable() for Baldur's Gate, which used a more primitive engine...

Thanks. I am trying to make a character no longer interactable with at the end of a dialogue so I was hoping to accomplish that via script.

Hello! I would like to know how to make objects like creatures or placeables no longer interactable. Thanks!
