  1. Been a long month to wait for my laptop to be fixed.

  2. I found the following quote on the bombing of Telos IV. It seems to settle the question of who ordered it. "After the treachery of former Jedi Knights Revan and Malak, who left the Jedi to become Sith Lords, was revealed in 3,959 BBY, the former Republic Admiral Saul Karath, as a token of his loyalty, provided the Sith with the Republic Navy's docking bay codes, which enabled Sith bombers to bypass security scanners and destroy over half of the Republic fleet docked on the planet. As a reward, the new Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Revan, promoted Karath to Supreme Commander of the Sith starfleet. As a final test of Karath's loyalty, Darth Malak, without his master Revan's approval, ordered the Admiral to bombard Telos's surface in 3,960 BBY." -Wookieepedia
  3. I may have to try it out sometime. As far as the zooming mentioned in the readme, any chance in a future update for an alternative method for people like me who only have a laptop?
  4. Debating whether or not I should get the KotOR series on steam despite my physical copies of the game.

      Why waste the money if you have a perfectly functioning physical copy?

      So that I could play the games anywhere I go, without needing a disc.

      Suggestion: Daemontools and an image making program such as Alcohol 120%.

  5. Kast's Echo is online again, give or take the forum and blog. So, you can access my various mods again, while I make a new version of the site in a separate location.

  6. Finding some fun mods and stuff among some of DVD backups I made a while ago.

      Perhaps, some of them may be spared and put back on my hard drive to work on. :P

  7. This mod isn't dead. There just hasn't been any noteworthy or fun things to post about its progress recently. Thanks for the voice acting offer, but I think my first priority is making the content before voicing any characters. But, I'll definitely keep the offer in mind.
  8. Confused why a script isn't running; hopefully, the fifth try is the lucky one.

      Ah, we've all been there...

  9. There was such a mod in development once, but the would-be mod being abandoned before completion. (For various reasons) If memory serves me correctly, I don't believe there has been an attempt at a mod to make Hanharr a Jedi since then.
  10. I'm now in a truly playable HK factory for the first time!! :P (Kudos to the TSLRCM team.)

      Finished my first playthrough of TSLRCM; definitely what TSL should have been like out of the box, had its release not been rushed.

      Glad you liked it. What gender and alignment did you play as? Have you tried the alternate?

    3. Ferc Kast

      Ferc Kast

      I played LS Female (canon Exile; even named her "Meetra Surik", after the Revan book); I haven't tried the alternatives yet.

  11. I didn't realize how much content was cut until i started this new playthrough of TSL with TSLRCM 1.8 installed.

    1. Ferc Kast

      Ferc Kast

      I'm definitely enjoying Nar Shaddaa with the bounty hunters, et al. :)

    2. HK-47

      Statement: I've only gotten to Telos IV and have enjoyed the extra dialogue options and the extra conversation with Atton. Much more RPG like.

      Found it patched the infinite Hssiss' glitch in the secret cave with the Dead Jedi.

  12. Based on my original Clothed Beginning mod, this mod will allow the user to find clothes on the Peragus Administration Level. Changes from 1.0 ------ - In container on the Peragus Administration Level, instead of pre-equipped in the kolto tank - Possible dialog conditional for Atton and Kreia's dialog. At this point, it is mostly in planning stage. Before I got too far into development, I wanted to get some opinions on the following questions. 1) Location of clothes? a) Before meeting Kreia? If not, before meeting Atton? 2) Dialog conditional? a) If it's before meeting Kreia, would you like a conditional to rid the "you may wish to extend your search for clothes" comment? If it's before meeting Atton, would you like a conditional to get rid of Atton's "nice outfit" comment? 3) When released, would you like the original version included as an option? (i.e. have a "v1" folder in the zip)

    Well, I just tested and it's perfectly compatible with TSLRCM 1.8; So, I will fix that in the description accordingly.
  14. With a clean install of TSL, I can now check my TSL mods' compatibility with TSLRCM 1.8; After that, I'll finish uploading my remaining old mods here. :P

    1. Ferc Kast

      Ferc Kast

      I'll probably update them as times permits. Though, I just found out that I don't have to upload my Hussef mod from 2009 since TSLRCM already does what my mod did. :)

    2. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      What did your Hussef mod do specifically?

    3. Ferc Kast

      It restored his unique appearance with the elderly head.

  15. Confused why I can submit .7zip and not .7z files. (Same file structure, just shortened extension.)

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Might I suggest you PM Tyvokka about that?

  16. View File Clothed Beginning This mod equips the basic clothing on the player when starting Peragus instead of the typical "potato-sack". To take effect, you will have to start a new game or not have started Peragus yet. Note: This mod merely equips the default clothes item; it does not change the clothes' appearance. Known Bug(s): Kreia and Atton don't acknowlege you being clothed until you get the miner's uniform on Peragus.

  18. Thinking about mirroring the rest of my mods from Kast's Echo here on Deadly Stream. :P

    1. Sith Holocron

      Sith Holocron

      Sounds like a good idea. If your mods are over 100MB, PM Tyvokka about having your file size limit increased before uploading.

    2. Ferc Kast

      Ferc Kast

      I believe the largest of my current mods is under 2MB. :)

  19. Hope to post an update soon in my EotF threads. :)

      We'll hope you post an update too!

  22. File Name: Recruit Function File Submitter: Ferc Kast File Submitted: 28 May 2012 File Category: Mods TSLRCM Compatible: Yes This Recruit Function script will allow you to easily recruit NPCs as new party members.

  24. I have known about T3's fate since I read the Revan novel; but, I haven't come up with a new astromech droid companion yet. So, I merely listed him there as a placeholder until I do. As for the years after KotOR 2, I have not finalized that detail yet. (It will probably take place around 5 or so years after KotOR 2; but, again, that detail not set in stone yet.) And, I have given some thought about some possible appearances from previous cha...companions from the KotOR series. (What? I meant to write companions; really, I did.)
  25. Plot Introduction Years after the Battle of Telos IV, the Republic struggles to recover from the war. A series of systems have seceded from the Republic. Attacking from an unknown source, the planet Darrax is under attack. In the midst of a debate in the Senate, the Jedi Council sends a lone Jedi to investigate... Companions Xin Subal Mahkon Koran Vox Ora Vaona HK-47 Master Adri Vale T3-M4 Kira Sadow Saverak Vornskar Jarl Dawas 2 MORE TO BE DECIDED... Planets The Corsair Nova Darrax Danjir IV Ryloth Korriban MORE TO BE DECIDED... Progress The Corsair Nova: 35% Darrax: 0% Danjir IV: 0% Ryloth: 0% Korriban: 0% Team Recruitment I am looking for additional modders to help with this mod in the following areas: Modelers (mostly planets) Skinners (characters & modules) Dialog Writers Side Quest Ideas Screenshots Update 1 - Oct 20, 2011 First, I fixed the bug mentioned in my last post. Second, there are now journal entries for the quests so far. So, I am going through & adding the entries/quests in-game. Finally, I am almost done with the initial version of the Corsair Nova. As such, I expect to be working on the next planet soon. With this in mind, I thought to give a video clip from the beginning of the Corsair Nova. (Side note: still trying to tweak the camera so it shows the player at the beginning instead of the droid.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B80O8okYrB8 Update 2 - Dec 14, 2011 Well, it's time again for a mini update for EotF. Last time, I asked about a minor bug I had found. Since then, Ive found a temporary fix for my problem until someone can figure out how to fix it the way I was hoping for it to be fixed. Also, I am starting to work on the next module in-game. (Yay for Darth333's whereami band.) Finally, I am getting around to reskinning those terrible looking "potato sack(s)" from the vanilla KotOR II; Personally, I find it to look more Jedi-esque now. However, I would like to find out what your opinions are about the reskin. I also wondered if there was interest for me to release it for TSL in addition to including it in EotF. So, give me your input so I can take the needed action(s). Update 3 - Feb 24, 2012 It's time for an update on progress: I have gotten a bit more done on the mod. It's mostly been plot details, a few new selectable heads, along with some content implementation into the game itself. I don't any new screenshots or videos, though. In their stead, here are some party member background stories for EotF. OB-48 - Combat Droid (Temporary Party Member) OB-48 will be found on the Corsair Nova. OB-48 is the personal bodyguard droid of Captain Dax Mindar. He has currently been programmed to ensure your safe arrival to Darrax, by any means necessary. Adri Vale - Jedi Master/ Female/ Echani Adri Vale was the PC's Jedi Master, following the Battle of Telos IV. She will be found on Darrax on an unrelated assignment; But, after the events that transpire there, the Jedi Council will have her aid you in pursuing the matter. Subal Mahkon - Scout/ Male/ Devaronian Subal Mahkon is a reputable pilot, who will get the PC to his/her destination(s). He was a previous pilot of the Ebon Hawk while Davik owned it. He rarely talks about his past. Subal has flown from one side of the galaxy to the other. T3-M4 - Astromech Droid T3-M4 was created by Janis on Taris. T3-M4 was responsible for getting the launch codes to allow Revan and his party to escape. T3 can tell you about the events of KotOR I & II. T3 has retained his excellent repair & computer skills, which in handy from time to time. Update 4 - Mar 3, 2012 Koran Vox - Soldier/ Male/ Mandalorian Koran Vox is a Mandalorian, who was present for the Battle of Malachor V. He also was present for the Battle of Telos IV. He was sent by Mandalore the Preserver to find out about the attacks on Darrax. When he missed his opportunity, he decided to take a detour before returning to Dxun. HK-47 - Assassin Droid HK-47 was created by Revan, following the Battle of Malachor V. He has been assigned by both Revan and the Exile to keep tabs on activity from criminal organizations, such as Czerka and the Exchange. HK's aggressive personality and dislike of meatbags still remain intact. Kira Sadow - Scoundrel/ Female/ Human Kira Sadow is a smuggler, who was captured on route for a shipment. She was taken prisoner during the Corsair Nova's journey to Darrax. Once the ship was under attack, she managed to escape her cell. Her street skills are handy from time to time. Ora Vaona - Jedi Sentinel/ Female/ Twi'lek Ora Vaona is still a Padawan, but has great potential. Recently, she was sent with her Master to Ryloth to get information on the Exchange's recent actions there; Unfortunately, their presence was discovered. They killed her Master, but took her prisoner. The Jedi Council is still debating how best to free her. Update 5 - Mar 15, 2012 With that out of the way, it is time for an update: Firstly, for those who are unaware, I am writing an extended backstory for Kira Sadow called A Debt Unpaid (see the link in my signature.) It is intended as a treat while Echo of the Force is still in production; And, its story will end close to where EotF's storyline begins. Secondly, the other day, I made and have in-game a head skin for the party member Subal Mahkon (who was only mentioned for the first time a few posts ago.) I don't have custom clothes for him yet, but I thought to at least get his head done Contest Well, today officially ended the party member contest!! Thank you to all who sent in an entry. It was definitely a tough decision...But since the contest ended, it had to be done. Without further ado, the winner...s are: christos200's male Human, Xin Warlord664's male Rodian, Saverak Vornskar Congratultations, you two!! And, I'd also like to thank all those who submitted an entry. Website On that exciting note, I have yet more exciting news: I have acquired a new domain name for my modding site; What is more news is that I have started construction on it. Eventually, it will eventually have a dedicated section for Echo of the Force. Until then, I would like your opinion on the site's setup. To find out about and/or download my mods, would you prefer like to have/be: Blog entries with screenshots, download links, etc. (Using Wordpress) Blog entry about the mod, but separate page with the screenshots, download links, etc. (Wordpress for blog entry, separate page for mod) Other (specify in your post.)
