  1. If this is to be your last mod, might I suggest you take requests?

    You could. I'm a tad curious..

  2. So thats what Phil looks like!

    I agree SH...very inflated view of himself.

    Funny how his "oh so great", planet mod and him are banned from LF! HAHAHAAA!

    Truth is, it is slap full of bugs and uncompleteable quests.

    And he wanted to put out his "gold edition"..what a twit.

  3. yeah VERY rough...I'm breaking it all up and fixing everything...

    it'll be playable once im through with it. :P

  4.  out of commssion for a bit. I destroyed my lower back. laid up in bed mostly.

      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.

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

    3. DarthParametric

      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.

    Took all day just to get the power button in the right place, re arrange the map, reskin, and export. Then to convert the saber to Crazy34's blade models. Best I could do really, not being too savvy anymore.

      @LordMerek, it seems KJ is making his mods compatible with @Crazy34's new lightsaber model.  (Note how the saber lights up the room?)  Although if I've misread the picture, hopefully @Kaidon Jorn will correct me.

    3. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Yeah, I converted all the SLM sabers and my default saber replacements to have Crazy34's new blade models and ambient lighting.

      That scene never looked so cool, no?

    4. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      The only thing that needs doing for default replacement sabers is to map, skin and rig a new yellow double bladed saber that I made from an older SotOR saber. 

      Then that will be ready to release. Now if I could find the time and patience.

  8. 😭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

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

       

    4. JDub96

      JDub96

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

  10. 2nd attempt with Steam TSL and TSLRCM but again it crashes when Bao-Dur is introduced.

    231TEL.mod

    231sntry.dlg

    Don't get it...shouldn't be any conflicting files. 

    I renamed 231TEL.mod to 185_231TEl.mod to try to skip over it but it still crashes during that dialog.

    bleh

      Ok..so I kept a save game leaving Citadel Station and put that into a fresh install of the 4 disc version, got past that part that kept crashing, then resaved...

      Now I'm planning to reinstall Steam version with the TSLRCM from DS (here) then SLM and whatever texture mods I might want.

      Hope this works...I AM determined to make it work for STEAM version since the native 1920x1080 is so nice.

      Your best bet is to follow the K2 Mod Builds as seen on the KOTOR subreddit.  If you have additional questions, make a thread so folks can steer you in the right direction.

    4. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Aw forget it. Not going through all that again.

      I can't make SLM work for Steam TSLRCM, it just won't work.

      So the question is what can I fix or do for SLM on the 4disc version that would be worth the trouble? 

      I don't know...

       

      Suffice to say, SLM is NOT compatible with the Steam version of the game.

      SLM requires the 4 disc version and the stand alone TSLRCM mod from here because that's what I built it on.

      Sorry, I tried.

  11. Aight. 

    What would be the 5 or so absolute most required mods and/or graphics upgrades that someone who hasn't played K1 for something like 7 years?? Is there a "one mod to rule them all" as far as graphics upgrades?? Starting a K1 playthrough to determine what exactly I need to accomplish for a brand new saber mod that WON'T be SotOR.

    All suggestions considered.

      Um, no not that I know of. 

      I had just played the opening Endar Spire part and had to save/load because I couldn't open that door that leads to the escape pods.  Then walking with arrow keys stopped working, but I could still walk forward by holding down both mouse buttons. 

      Vanilla game is sooo buggy.

    3. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      Oh, the walking thing is just the refresh rate issue. Cap the framerate to 60fps and that will stop. Never heard of the door problem though.

    4. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Allllright, will do. Thanks again.

  12. 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. 

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

  14. Computer keeps crashing. Blue screen of death. Seriously considering reinstalling windows. Arrrgh.

    1. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Got a couple leads on a fix.

      I'm getting a DPC Watchdog Violation thingy...installed a different driver as suggested, waiting to see if...**bbrzzzttterrzert**

  15. 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.

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

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

  18. Hey well guess what? My pc just crashed and wont come on anymore. I’m guessing power supply but don’t know for sure. Was actually testing something in TSL and it just shut off. dead. capoot. Guess im done for awhile.

    1. AmanoJyaku

      AmanoJyaku

      Feeling your pain. I have to RMA my laptop because it crashes when the battery goes below 40%. Guess that's better than it exploding...

    2. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Welp, i’ll see today if i’m right. I can’t imagine it’s something worse.

      my computer is my whole life practically so if i go completely broke now at least I’ll still have a computer to tool around with

    3. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Back up and running, was the power supply as suspected. But now its (windows) been running really slow and I uninstalled alot of stuff and am trying to consolidate and optimize.

      May end up reinstalling windows and everything else.

  19. I don't understand. 

    I recomplied a .mod but now I can't find it. Save path for Kotor Tool is desktop but nothing is there. Search of my hard drive finds nothing. What am I doing wrong?

      Are you running KotOR Tool as admin? The folder you're saving the .mod in isn't set to Read-Only?

    3. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      i think so yes, and I'm not sure.

      I will look.

    4. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Ok.

      I was able to compile a .mod which went into KT's global templates folder.

      Aaaand I figured out that to install and play SLM properly I believe I'm going to have to make two seperate patchers...

      One for TSLRCM's workshop folder (modules, 2da's, dialogs) and one for base games override (textures, models, utc's and uti's)

      Package them together to be run seprately back to back. 

      YAY.

  20. I have returned, and I would like to ask everyone to stop uploading my work without asking. JDub, sorry, but no.

      It's fine. You did. But I'm going to retract it now. I'm updating.

      No worries. Just didn't want to come off as a thief.

  21. I've forgotten how to switch hilt models with mdlops. ☹️

    Can you believe it?!

    1. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      You don't need to do that any more. That was only required with ye olde MDLOps. MDLEdit and MDLOps v1.0 and beyond can compile sabers properly just like any other model.

    2. Kaidon Jorn

      Kaidon Jorn

      Um so I need MDLedit?

      ...is 1.0 new?

    3. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      In both cases the downloads in the Tools section are out of date. You can get the most recent beta version of MDLEdit from this post. You can get the most recent version of new MDLOps from its Github repo.

  22. Just realized I've been off and on working on this thing for ten...count 'em, TEN months!! I'm gunna strangle myself.

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

      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.
