  1. Oh right you are. And no, I think it is perfectly reasonable to require that at least K1 CP is installed first.
  2. N-DReW-25, thanks for this new interesting modification. But I think you need to include the .mod files else the TSL Patcher won't be able to make the necessary .utc changes for users that do not have such .mod files already in their /modules folder.
  3. I can but test for possible solutions then. Much appreciated, DP.
  4. Hello! Can someone tell me if any of the function above could be used by an object to return itself? Ex. heartbeat script for one door: void main() { object oDoor = GetNearestObject(OBJECT_TYPE_DOOR, OBJECT_SELF); SignalEvent(oDoor,EventUserDefined(20)); } or void main() { string sDoor = GetTag(OBJECT_SELF) object oDoor = GetNearestObjectByTag(sDoor, OBJECT_SELF); SignalEvent(oDoor,EventUserDefined(20)); } The reason I am investigating this as opposed to simply using OBJECT_SELF is that it seems like doors in one area using the same name and sharing the same script don't identify themselves properly.
  5. Hello! Does anyone know if GetNearestCreature() can be used to detect a dead creature with the CREATURE_TYPE_IS_ALIVE parameter? I am using a UD script for doors to automatically close if there are no creatures within a certain distance but it seems bodies of dead creatures escape the loop. Worth mentioning maybe is the fact that I am using a "body stay" modification as well which may make things more complicated.
  6. Not sure I get what you are saying. I also see no links.
  7. Well, rather then wait for the new version I thought I'd provide some feedback that might be of some use after testing 1.0. Due to the fact that I needed integrating this modification into my own installation I had to manually inject all the TSL Patcher changes so please keep this in mind (i.e. human error on my part is a possibility, despite my best efforts to avoid it by double checking what I was doing). Bastila is facing the Player when she should instead be facing Carth (lev40_bast400.dlg [E54]). The camera's field of view should be adjusted to allow for 4:3 resolution because the way it is now Carth is talking and half of his body is cut out (lev40_bast400.dlg [Camera IDs 100 & 103 - I locally changed their FoV to 75 and 80 respectively and that seems to be good enough). The party cell door is now a forcefield and needs the additional sound added to the .GIT and the addition of the sound off script in the "OnOpen" door field. But honestly I don't even hear the forcefield sound from any of the force fields in the area. Either I am deaf or something is wrong. (Original Issue)I chose Juhani as jail breaker and in her cutscene she attacks a SIth Soldier but the lightsaber is not showing. It activates after she's killed her enemy, making for a rather ludicrous scene. (Original Issue)All three models (Carth, Player, Bastila) inside the torture cages suffer of some weird light issues causing some part of their bodies (ex. Bastila corners of her eyes) to be too bright without any apparent reason. This applies to several body parts but I suspect it is an original issue. (Original Issue) After lifting the force fields via computer, a cutscene starts where Rodians and Sith Soldiers are about to face each other for battle. It is very clumsily done, with the actors scrambling to find their destination before any combat ensues. I suggest a relocation of the waypoints and other minor adjustments to make it smoother. (Original Issue) The recovered equipment will be showing as new items in the inventory but if I remember correctly this is a game engine limitations we can not do anything about. Suggestion: in the lev40_carth.dlg cutscene we never get a nice camera shot showing the whole group standing in the Ebon Hakw's center room. Adding one static camera to do this at a few dialogue junctions would be a good idea. Actually no need to add any, it is enough to use the module's camera 1 at E7. Suggestion: change lev40_torturer.utc's appearance (currently a Sith Soldier) Suggestion: change name for three Sith Soldier originally called "Technician". "Sith Guard" like others in the area would be more correct. Everything went smoothly enough otherwise and I tested using a female protagonist. EDIT: Additional generic observation. Why do the "Force Field" doors even display the Bash icon? It should not be there at all because they shouldn't be destroyable. Enabling the Plot flag might be a solution. And I don't even think that the name "Cell Door" is really appropriate. I locally changed their name to Force Field (string #408).
  8. DP, one curiosity: are you now using Blender for your animating and modeling work?
  9. DP, I really like the idea of Revan replacing Malak in the Main Menu but I don't use a widescreen format so I was wondering how annoying/easy it would be to adjust this to a 4:3 resolution. Can you perhaps give me a few hints?
  10. DP, I noticed that the new stuntroom44ad.mdx file has a size of 0. Is that normal?
  11. Sithspecter, may I ask whether you are at a stage where you no longer need any input from the community about different options?
  12. Interesting. But wouldn't this create havoc for all scripts that can run more than once and that trust identifying the same object each time?
  13. Hello! I am hoping someone ( @DarthParametricor @JCarter426, maybe?) could help me figure something out. During my testing I have been wondering in what order the game engine populates objects of the same kind and I was surprised when I made a specific test (with minimal intrusion affecting the original game installation). After the name of the object in the function GetObjectByTag(), it is possible to identify the nTh object bearing the same tag but which one in the area gets the "zero" and the successive numbers? My test was in the Taris - South Apartments module (tar_m02aa) where we have four doors with the same tag (ptar_lockde). One of the rooms that have such door is the room where Dia is. When I leave the Taris Apartment for the first time, there will be a cutscene and a fight. After that, I discovered that the door to Dia's room was identified as 1, meaning the remaining three doors were 0, 2 and 3. But when the same area is reloaded (and it does not matter if it is after I save and then load or if I leave the area and then return) it seems the doors no longer have the same enumeration. Now door 1 is the next one anti-clockwise (the room that houses a female Twi'lek). How do we make heads or tails out of this? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks!
  14. Thanks for the very exhaustive explanation there, DP. One more question, if you please: would you consider duplicating Canderous' equipment (in case he is the jail breaker) and add it back for the player to find under the condition that the container where his items are is not being checked?
  15. Hi DP! Just one question. Could you please clarify what the following means? Bioware handled the transition from the Hawk to the Leviathan in a really odd way. It's possible that they encountered a sequence break that caused them to take the approach they did, which I have now changed. What and how did you change in regards to the transition? I am using a customized version of K1R's restored cutscene of Sith Soldiers boarding the Ebon Hawk so I think there might be some incompatibilities. Thanks!
  16. I think you can contact an admin and they'll fix it for you.
  17. Thanks for this. But the file was uploaded in the wrong section (K1).
    Another excellent modification that bear Darth Parametric's quality mark. As usual, recommended.
  18. Thanks for this new modification of yours, DP. Top notch stuff, as usual. Looking forward to the future updates as well!
  19. Thanks, DP! I didn't remember ebmar uploading those files earlier. I guess I should have made a more thorough search.
  20. Hello! I was wondering if someone has extracted all the original K1's .TXI files and, in that case, if they could so kindly upload them somewhere.
  21. I have also been having a critical problem installing trying to install this modification today. The TSL Patcher never really did finish patching but rather shut itself down after adding some files. When I tried running it a second time, it gave me an error message (not very unexpectedly, considering what happened the first time). Just in case it may be of any interest this is the error message received: Error: Unhandled exception: External exception C000001D (0) On top of that, it seems the .dlg file that ships with this modification contains several orphaned nodes. Even if it might be harmless, I'd feel safer using this modification if there were none.
