      Was seriously thinking of turning the magenta saber into a dark red/burgundy, if it's possible to make look good.

      Actually, the French word for lightsaber is sabre laser. "Laser sword."

  2. Scripters block ERADICATED!

    Lol

  3. Man o man. In the teens all weekend. Have to round up my two homeless kitties and bring 'em here. That won't be fun. But absolutely necessary.

      Did you corral the kitties?

      One is, one isn't. Could of waited until tonight to do it but the opportunity presented itself last night. Not sure what I'm gonna do about Whiskers. She has a little house in the back of work but that won't protect her from 17 degrees.

  4. (sigh) SWTOR. I bid you ...adieu. 😐

      Yeaaahh but i have no idea how to do any of that. Have you ever lifted saber hilts from there?

    3. DarthParametric

      Indeed. I first posted pics of extracted sabers (and other models) on LF back in the beta period in 2011.

      I can give you all the saber meshes and textures if you don't want to deal with the hassle of extracting them yourself. I've mused at times about porting them myself, but frankly I don't really like most of them.

      Edit: Although poking through the files just now, I discovered a "modular" folder (which I don't recall seeing before) which has separate emitters/control boxes/grips/pommels. Seems like you could use them to piece together some interesting creations. It seems like that must be how they are making their more recent sabers. Lots of recognisable movie hilt components, albeit with the serial numbers filed off.

    4. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Yes. Yes to meshes. Of course all the newer CM sabers would be what we wanted, so anything you could send my way would be great, don’t know if I’d even be able to use them, I really just want to have a look. 
       

  5. Oh no...did I just really see this? "Cathalan" is up on Steam Workshop...

    Wondering if I should say anything. (oh well too late)

      Is it April 1st already?

      Update: It's up there. No doubt about it.

      Didn't it contain copyrighted music though? Tut tut Steam.

      Well, I said something. Just a general steer clear. I sincerely hope no one has to go through any of that.

  6. omg I just figured out I can't get on this site with my vpn on....silly me. lol

  7. Aight. I don't understand why KotOR Tool won't see K2, but it sees K1 fine.

    Have them both on Steam, but KT doesn't register K2 for some reason. I just reinstalled it. 

    1. JCarter426

      JCarter426

      The Steam version doesn't put the path in the right place in the registry. See here.

    2. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      OH Thank you so much.

       

      Awesome that fixed that. 

  8. So now I'm getting back into K2 and SLM so I can fix and streamline the TSLpatcher installation and take another go at blade textures and whatnot. Also maybe fix the disappearing textures for good. (Maybe)

    1. N-DReW25

      N-DReW25

      If you're trying to do that on the Steam version of K2, I don't think mods can fix that.

    2. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Yeah I just found out. Oh well.

  9. Wow. Gotta say overall really impressed with the whole Kenobi series. That was kinda.....kinda f***in' awesome.

      Personally I really liked it, they nailed the Obi Wan and Vader showdown. I loved the third sister (Revas) redemption story line most of all though.

      The casting for young Leia is spot on,  she did really well in the role. And I loved the robes Obi Wan uses throughout the show!

    3. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Yeeeaah. But now I want to redo every single blade texture I just made to have a much bigger glow while still more transparent. :P

      Apart from the moment when Obi went all Jedi Jesus and took Darth behind the woodshed and stoned him like he was the blasphemer in Monty Python's Life of Brian...

      This was my reaction to pretty much every episode.

      Thanks all. Yeah, getting old sucks. This is a reoccuring thing been going on for years. Not sure what original cause was, and can never predict when it'll happen next. Maybe just overworking myself.

      But its getting better slowly. Felt well enough today to try to go to work. That didn't last long. 

      Chiropractor would also be a reoccuring thing. Once you start you can never stop.

      You're not wrong. I was in a car accident 2 years back. I still have to see a chiro because my spine got permanently messed up. Odds are I'll have an arthritic neck before I hit my 40's.

    4. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Ooooh, ouch. 

  11. Ok! So for my last trick...should I be doing compares for every UTC that I want to affect in game with TSLPatcher? 

    i.e. Just have the patcher place the saber or (crystal) in hand or in pack inventory on the UTC? Maximum compatibility?

    I suspect ...YES!!!

      For appearance-only change I'd personally go with comparing/patching the presented UTC/s -- but, if there are couple of mechanics change [and/or in addition to appearance's] like feats, skills, inventories, etc. - I'd go with hard-replace.

      The reason is sometimes you'd want the creature/UTC to behave like you want--as mod's design--and to make sure of that you don't want left-overs from previous changes presented in there.

      Yes, there'll be compatibility issue with other mods -- but a plus for that you got your mod working as intent to.

    3. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Right, yes.

      obviously some are going to be like say a lev40_malak stunt double where I'm just changing the model in its hand. Others it's dropping what he fought with so you can loot it.

      oookay. Gonna get started on this tonite or tomorrow

    4. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Decided to just do hard replaces for .utc's.

      It's going to end up being the same thing as comparing unedited/edited files within the module. 

  12. Almost done with KSR, then back to SLM to further refine installation. Woo!

  13. 😭My baby is so sick. She keeps gagging, lost her voice completely, not eating very much from said gagging, and generally looks like she feels like crap. Can't get to vet til thursday. 😢I'm starting to think she inhaled a cookie and its stuck in her throat or lungs.

      How's she doing? Any better?

    4. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Yes thanks. Her voice is just starting to come back today. I actually didn't get her to the vet on Thursday, because I couldn't catch her. There's still some chest congestion but she's not gagging as much (maybe once or twice in the last 2 days). She's doing better and is playing but still needs antibiotics from the vet on Monday. She caught all this sickness from my new rescue...he is the culprit.

      He is doing alot better but passed it to Penny. My baby!IMG_E1387_800x600.JPG.0fd48b3b821825d60d15e879dfe195b9.JPG

  14. Wow. This is maddening. I can't get Flawless Widescreen OR UniWS method to work for TSL. 😡

      Details like what version you're using and what you've tried might be helpful.  In fact, why not just open a thread so folks can put their two cents in and expound on the issue at length?

    2. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Yeah I'll give that a go in a bit.

  15. What if I did this....

      Yup. Hasn't been done with these models, so why not? So now I'm just thinking of having that option on release.

    3. N-DReW25

      Is it just me... or do I see a little stick like shape on the very top of the lightsaber blade?

    4. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      That's the intersecting blade planes.

  16. Gotta tell ya. This thing is coming along nicely!

      It took me a while into the video to deduce the right handed lightsaber was HOTG haha. 

      But I dig the effects the Saber makes. And the icons!!

    4. AmanoJyaku

      AmanoJyaku

      Those sabers are so high-quality they make the rest of the scene look bad! 🤣

  17. So how do you make a new lightsaber power crystal for K1?? 

    Where do the effects for the item actually come from? a 2da?

     

    1. N-DReW25

      N-DReW25

      The Lightsaber itself, it might be best to study other K1 upgradeable items like the Prototype Sword to get the hang of it.

       

      Go to a Lightsaber uti in Kotor Tool, go to Properties, make a new effect using the Item Property Editor and on the bottom right corner is "Upgrade required to activate".

      Add your new crystal as a new line in upgrade.2da and if you place this in your Override folder (with your new crystal) and have the "Look up Game's Override folder for 2DA files" set then your new crystal will be ready for you to add to your Lightsaber.

    2. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Yup. Just figured that out. It's one of those things I knew way back when, but since forgot about. 

      Thanks.

      So in order to have those properties for any saber once the crystal is set in it, you have to do that for every saber uti, right?

      Right. Yes. Ok. Got it. LOL

  18. Was able to get DeNCS working. (yay) Had the wrong Java version? 

    1. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      Might require the x86 version perhaps?

    2. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Uuuh, no. I went and downloaded JRE 6 (x64) and installed it cause I had a version of 8 I think.

  19. Uuuum, what value would an invisible placeable in the first game be? 64??

    1. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      64 is the script generic object type identifier for placeables, OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE. If you specifically want an invisible placeable you need to set the appearance value in the UTP. Either 0 or 54 appear valid.

    2. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Yup. Thanks for clarifying. 

  20. Hey guess what?! I finally get to binge watch all of the Mandalorian for a month. Sweet.

  21. What about not having horribly made up and contrived descriptions for sabers this time? Maybe just the generic Bioware ones so that I dont tread on lore that I know little about?

      You guys have made me spill my morning cereal I was laughing so hard haha! 

      But DP is correct, tailor the mod to what you want, otherwise you'd end up warping what you wanted from the mod in the first place 😉 OP stats and randomly placed Rancors is what make some mods fun 😉

    3. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      And lets not forget that the whole reason I'm doing this is just to get Crazy34's new blade models coming out of these hilts...

       

    4. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      SLM 2022!!! 🤣

      Omg, just wait. 

  22. Making good progress on a SotOR replacement. Just calling it KSR.

    Crazy34's new blade models and a full stats and placement rework. Should be good. 

    1. djh269

      djh269

      I'm really looking forward to it!! 

  23. Ok, SLM has been fixed. Stupid mistake. 😞

    Redownloading and reinstalling would probably work but that would be messy, I think.

    You'll get alot of brown error messages because all the stuff is already there. But it will fix the global.jrl  entries so the quests show up.

  24. Don't download SLM 2021 until I can get a fixed version up (tonite).

    Sorry folks, I goofed. Been a long time and I'm really rusty. 

    if you've already installed it, I am really sorry but the two lightsaber quests won't work properly. Will post when fixed version is up.
