Salk

Hello! I have decided to (re)play TSL after several years and after never finishing it the first time because of a nasty critical bug so I am here to ask advice about the Installation order and Mods compatibility. All suggestions/recommendations are welcome. I have done this so far: 1) Installed the DVD version of TSL 2) NOT installed any official patch (I presume 1.0a, 1.0b, the HQ movies and music patches are NOT needed) 3) Installed Pastramix's Ambient and Music improvements (by the way, the installation instructions are very confusing here as well: don't I need to delete the mus*.wav files that are in the original folder in order to use the .mp3? According to the instructions it seems you just need to dump the .mp3 files in the original folder) 4) Installed TSLRCM 1.8.4 Now... My Additional Mods list: No TSL Patcher: 1) JC's Minor KotOR2 Fixes 2) JC's Handmaiden Sisters? 3) Cyan Lightsaber Fix <-- Is this included/superseded by TSLRCM 1.8.4? 4) Fixed Proficiency / Feat Icons <-- Is this included/superseded by TSLRCM 1.8.4? 5) Disciple Medibug Fix 1.0 <-- No longer downloadable here at deadlystream? 6) Boma beast Teeth Fix 7) Jedi Master/Sith Lord Saving Throws "Fix" 8) Realistic Nar Shaddaa Skyboxes 9) Realistic Nar Shaddaa Skyboxes - Load Screens 10) K2 Exterior Textures Part 1&2 <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4? 11) Telos Citadel Station Skybox 12) More Vibrant Skies <-- Partially incompatible with K2 Exterior Textures Part 1&2 13) TSL Ebon Hawk Retexture 1.0 <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4? 14) Movie Style Retextures v7 by Darth Jacen <-- like it better than v8 and v9 15) Movie Style Jedi Master Robes 16) Fixed PMHH01 head 17) Hi-Res Beam Effects 2.0 18) High Resolution Lightning <-- Incompatible with Hi-Res Beam Effects 2.0 19) New Mandalorian Banners 20) HQ Peragus Cutscene 21) Kreia's Fall 22) Kreia's lesson 23) Nihilus/Visas scene 24) Jesse1066's Hi Res Muzzle Flash <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4? 25) Junkyard HK47 <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4? 26) Movie Style Dark Side Transition <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4? 27) Movie Style Replacement Lightsaber Hilts <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4? TSL Patcher: 28) 90SK's G0-T0 Reskin <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4? 29) Luxa Fix 30) Peragus Tweak 1.3 <-- Most awkward KotOR installation ever (acknowledged by the author) 31) Handsister Fix 1.1? 32) Peragus Sith Troops to Sith Assassins 33) Kreia to Dxun tomb & Atton to Onderon 34) Dustil Restoration 35) Prologue sensor droids fix 36) Roleplay in 103PER & 304NAR <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4? 37) Blaster Pistol Enhanchement <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4? 38) Extended Ending 39) Improved AI <-- Can someone confirm this compatible with TSLRCM 1.8.4? Thanks for your help!

Hello! Can someone confirm that with the DVD release of the two games there is no need for any kind of official patch? Thanks!

Congratulations, DH! I am looking forward to your next releases! Keep it up!

Very nice! I never did notice this inconsistency before. Well done!

I'll install number 2 once it's out to never, ever remove it again. If there was only the same project for KotOR 1 as well...

Congratulations! And thanks!

I don't know about that but you can alread download the changelog today.

Only one way to find out... [remove your current avatar ]

Hello! I realize I never really introduced myself here and now I bet it's a bit too late but I take the opportunity to do it now. I am one of the many KotOR enthusiast out there. I have contributed a few small modifications for the first Bioware installment and have never really finished the sequel (I am waiting for the final TSLRCM version to do it properly). I am italian but I've been living in Sweden with my wife since 2004. I am 40 and I seem I still love playing computer games, although I decreased my tolerance to stupid game concepts and subsequently raised my level of frustration. I'm also trying to find out who is the smartass ( ) that put that Jonas Salk plaque as my profile's picture.

Well, better late than never. Knowing might be useful again in the future.

Congratlations on a new quality release, Fallen Guardian! One question though: are this mod and Toasty Fresh's compatible with your own Gaffi Stick Improvement and Blaster Pistol Enhancement? (I am using manual installation and I see there is some overwriting involved) Thanks!

I am keeping my ears open here too!

We haven't heard anything about 1.8.3 for quite some time. Could you give us a small update, HH? Are things proceeding as well as you guys hoped?

JdNoa is a she - like most modders that wanted anything to do with Carth...

Hello! You might be interested in this: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=212728

Well, it seems that all works as intended. I don't know what kind of glitch I've been experiencing or if I just got confused in the process but the lightsaber with the Solari crystal in is correctly flagged as non equippable for Dark Side characters. My bad.

No, I did not. I am using a simple violet crystal.

Of course it is used ingame. That's how I noticed it.

Hello! I noticed that the description for the Solari crystal expressly specifies that it should be restricted to Light Side use. The game is not consistent with this though as it can be happily assembled into the lightsaber of my very dark protagonist. There are two solution: either we amend the description or we really restrict it to Light Side. My preference would be for the latter, even for lore reasons.

Yes, Hassat Hunter. I was talking about KotOR 1. Sorry for not having pointed it out. The four tombs in Korriban are named as follow: Tomb of Naga Sadow, Tomb of Tulak Hord, Tomb of Mark Ragnos and Tomb of Ajunta Pall. Only in that one line is the Tomb of Ajunta Pall called Tomb of Freedon Nadd. There are hints about the developers having changed the name from Freedon Nadd to Ajunta Pall at a later stage. In fact Ajunta Pall's sword tag is "k37_itm_freedont" and Ajunta Pall himself's is "kor37_freedon". My guess is that they forgot to change that line.

I am reviving this thread to report that there is one PC line in KotOR which makes me perplexed (Str 14287): "I've heard there's an artifact sword in the tomb of Freedon Nadd." I think it should be correct to change "Freedon Nadd" with "Ajunta Pall". Since I am maintaining an updated dialog.tlk I'd like to make sure we all agree.

Nice to know all seems to be fine. About possible releases, I am not sure whether I should make any modification made by me "officially" public because I think I might mess things up any time. I'd rather have the K1 Restoration team take a look at it when time comes and decide if it's worth their time proof reading this stuff and make it part of their project.

Very well! Would you mind downloading these files, place them in the Override and tell me if the problems are gone?
