At the moment, there's no way to compile to the BIFF format, as far as I know. That's dead last in the load priority, though, so that shouldn't be necessary. It goes something like Override --> .mod --> .rim --> .bif though I'm not sure on the specifics with sounds.

I remember this happening before, in the olden days on LucasForums. I think @InSidious was involved but sorry for the ping if it wasn't you. My memory is hazy, but I believe the issue is there are lots of files with the same string of music, and only one of them is the one that's really played. I see mus_s_darkshort in sounds.bif, StreamMusic, and StreamSounds, and mus_s_darkside in StreamMusic and StreamSounds. I also remember mus_s_kreiaevil in StreamMusic being similar. And it might not even be any of those. Only thing I can suggest is to try replacing them one by one. I also checked the High Quality Music patch, and both mus_s_darkshort and mus_s_darkside are updated in that. So that would suggest they are used but eh, who knows. Those install to StreamMusic.

When you remove the audio and the dialogue plays muted, is there any lip movement with it? The droid might not have physical organic lips, but the equivalent would be flashing lights on the photoreceptors or something like that. It sounds like it might be a case of the model's talk animation being bugged, and removing the audio would possibly circumvent that. At least, that's the only thing I would expect to cause a crash in normal circumstances. Usually if there is a problem with the audio file, it simply doesn't play. If it is an audio issue, though, it could something weird in the dialogue file, like if it's trying to play both generic droid VO and a specific VO file at the same time.

I hadn't noticed those, but I'll take a look when I get a chance.

I have specific memories of taking both feats during one run of the game, and holding off on the melee one to to take the lightsaber one later on another. I never checked the combat log for it until yesterday.

I've been wondering the same thing about the door hooks. As far as I can tell, they don't do anything. I believe they were only left there for reference, so doors can be placed at the correct coordinates. Some modules have dummies that appear to be where the lights used to render the lightmaps were, too. I haven't tried making a new path file yet, so I got nothing there.

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't expect it to have those animations, unfortunately.

That's normal. Creatures models typically have a limited stock of animations. It might be possible to get it to use the player supermodel, but that probably isn't necessary unless you want to fight it or something. It likely has idle and talk animations already, and should be suitable for your standard background NPC.

View File JC's Feat Fixes for K2 Summary This mod corrects some errors in the feeat.2da and featgain.2da files, which determine what classes can get what feats and when. First, a number of feats available to the base Jedi classes were not available to the prestige classes. This appears to be an error, given the inconsistency. It wasn't even that no prestige classes could take them. For some feats, certain tiers were available but not the rest. Other feats were available to some classes but locked out of others, despite being available to all Jedi classes. So I've gone through and set all feats that seem like they were meant for all Jedi classes to be available for all Jedi classes. The affected feats are: Caution Close Combat Dual Strike Empathy Gear Head Regenerate Vitality Stealth Run Second, the Scoundrel class was similarly missing access to feats they ought to be able to take, based on what is available to other organic classes: Dual Strike Finesse: Melee Weapons Regenerate Vitality Stealth Run Weapon Focus: Blaster Rifle Weapon Focus: Melee Weapons Third, some classes did not have access to cross-class skill feats for certain skills that were not class skills for them: Class Skill: Stealth (Jedi Weapon Master and Sith Marauder) Class Skill: Treat Injury (Scoundrel) Fourth, the Finesse: Lightsabers feat was redundant, because Finesse: Melee Weapons applies to both melee weapons and lightsabers. This was probably not the intent, but these feats are hard-coded, so I have no way of fixing them. I chose to remove the ability to select Finesse: Lightsabers at all. If you want to build a finessing character and receive the benefits of this feat, you can select Finesse: Melee Weapons instead and get it for melee weapons as well as lightsabers. Also, the weapon and armor proficiencies for prestige classes were inconsistent. This would not cause a problem in regular play because prestige classes are only available to the player character and the player character already had these proficiency feats; however, it could create oddities when using other mods or a save editor. I have adjusted the following feats for prestige classes to match the base Jedi classes: Armor Proficiency: Light Weapon Proficiency: Blaster Rifle Weapon Proficiency: Lightsaber Finally, the feat gains for the Combat Droid and Expert Droid classes were swapped, just as they were in KOTOR 1. TSLRCM already fixes this issue for KOTOR 2, but I added it to my fixes as well for the sake of completion. Installation Extract files from the downloaded archive. Run Feat_Fixes_K2.exe.

The model is already all there, yes. I don't know if there's any VO for it, though, and I don't recall what SpaceAlex was doing with it either. But they could easily be put in somewhere.

That appearance line was already the Chadra-Fan, though it's never used in the game.

That's not the case for dialog.tlk. The difference is that the "original" 2DA files are not kept in Override. They're archived elsewhere (global.rim for K1 and 2da.bif for K2) so it's generally safe to modify them and if you delete any from Override, you won't be deleting the original. The game has a load priority so it loads from Override before looking through the other archives for 2DA files. But dialog.tlk is only ever installed directly to the main directory (SWKotOR or SWKotOR2) and this is indeed the original and only copy of the file, unless you make a backup.

I've thought about it and maybe that would work, but I think it'd have to be placed somewhere on Telos due to its low stats. It can't be upgraded and you can easily make a better item with upgrades on another robe, so it couldn't be late in the game like the Ossus Keeper robes. With the corrected loot system, you only get the Norris robes if you character level is between 8 and 15, after Peragus until halfway through your first planet or thereabouts. I don't think it would be feasible to come up with a possibility for every planet, but maybe somewhere on Telos would work. But the other problem is there's no texture for it. #5 clearly wasn't intended for that robe, so either they would have the same texture as something else or things would have to be shuffled around. I just don't know if it's worth all the effort. Like I said, it's not possible to acquire them in the original game. They're there in the code, but it's bugged. Interesting, I hadn't noticed that one. I couldn't find any reference to it in dialog.tlk other than the name - unless that was related to the Jedi armor, but who knows. They give a bonus to Wisdom and some immunity against both light and dark side damage. No other robes have the latter property, so unlike the Norris robes they aren't exactly bad to get later in the game, at least until the Sage tier is possible of course. It's also worth pointing out, though, that you aren't likely to get the Baran Do Novice robes, at least with TSLRCM's fixes to the loot. I know by the time I got any robes when I last played I was already level 10, so it would've been impossible. There's only a 1/16 chance of getting robes at all when you get items (and not junk like credits, medpacs, and grenades) and then which item you get is highly dependent on your current character level.

I'm glad you like it. I was close to releasing it, but I ran into technical problems with upcrystals.2da. I could go back and cut out the new crystals and finish up the rest of it, probably will one of these days. That's interesting, I didn't know about some of that. I would guess Arca's robe is among the Dxun content because it might've been placed there in an earlier version, maybe before they added it to the random loot or for the E3 demo. Although, I don't believe it's possible to even acquire it in the original game due to bugs in the loot system. The earlier Jal Shey and Zeison Sha items were probably before they had an armor model for them. I've seen the Jedi armor before, not sure why those didn't get made if they got the armor. I'm fairly certain the Baran Do Advisor robes were replaced by the Norris robes, but to add them back in properly would require some edits to the loot, so I'm not sure how to go about it.

The game only loads data from the module files the first time you visit the module. It stores a copy of each module visited in the .sav file and subsequently loads from this. That's how it knows what containers you've looted, what NPCs have been killed or otherwise left the area, etc. So typically, if you make any change to a module, you have to load from before you've ever visited it. If you need to spawn creatures after you've visited the area, you would have to do it with a script.

When you go to test it, are you loading a save from before you ever visited that module?

I think the matter of upcrystals.2da was already conveyed to you via Reddit, but I wanted to add that the file has a limit of 255 lines. After that, it won't recognize any new crystals, so you may want to keep that in mind if you're planning to add a lot.

Does he not show up at all in the original game? I thought he appeared, just without the suicide pact option. It looks like it's all set up in the dialogue file, but the line has a conditional script that always returns false. Anyway, it would be feasible to replace Cede's appearances with Carth, but keep the evil Bastila holograms as is. The only part I don't imagine would work would be the meeting with Carth. But you donn't get an audience with Cede, so maybe Carth doesn't care to talk with you in that scenario either.

KOTOR Tool doesn't support K2 dialogue files. My guess is trying to edit it at all with KOTOR Tool corrupted the file.

As I recall, the CSLU Toolkit wouldn't run on Windows 10 even back when their server was working. It's an issue with the program, not the licensing procedure, and of course the program is not being updated anymore. I can confirm the no online license fix works on Windows 7, however.

Looks like it wasn't used on the original model. I didn't realize it wasn't needed before.

The Yavin door appears to use line 64 in genericdoors.2da for K1. If it's 76 in K2 and all the other files are there, then you should only have to change it to GenericType 76.
