Fair Strides

Two things to say here: 1. Feel free to Skype me anytime for help with modding. As I've said, the only parts that scare me are custom modules and skinning. Apart from those, I can help with pretty much anything you need. Skype is fair_strides, btw. 2. As for you last part about having to enter the module from a save before you ever went there, that only applies to editing the .git, .are, and .ifo. Anything else, not really. The exceptions are if you changed/added something that is only in place after an event you've already done. An example is making a script that spawns an item, but having the script activate when you talk to the Serroco Leader in the Refugee Sector on Nar Shaddaa, only you killed him already. You'd need a save from before killing him, not necessarily from before entering the module. As an aside, if you want somethin to happen when you enter the module, you can always rename the OnEnter script, make a script with the original name, edit that, and add the following line: ExecuteScript(<New name you gave the old OnEnter script>); This will allow you to edit what happens when you enter the area without affecting the normal events.

Hmm. Would anyone want a mod that makes a mine go off like a thermal detonator?...

Well if you could go stealth, why didn't you lay a crap-load of mines?

... ... ... He said he never made Atton a Jedi...

Hmm. I understand where you're coming from a lot, SIC. I have run into that modding wall more than a few times, but it keeps giving me bumps of wisdom and sending me back to KotOR/TSL. I actually don't find these games hard to mod at all. The parts about it that scare me are custom modules and weird scripting errors that make me want to hide the modding tools somewhere. I understand the scripting very well, just the game tends to have other interpretations at times. I actually got into programming from these games. You know the KotOR Save Game Editor? The author, Tk102, released the source code with the tool, so I searched google for a symbol from the source code, found Perl, and started reading. I haven't touched the Fallout games, but I know a few fanatics. Out of curiosity, what would you look for in the way of module-editing tools? Hope you don't get burnt out on these games. Also, there's a popular skinner named Vurt, who also made the leap to game design. He's the main texturer on Kenshi. Google it, will ya?

I share your opinion on both matters, VP.

You are offificially me new favorite skinner, my friend. After you finish doing the entire game, do you still plan on skinning for this game? If so, how do you feel about custom module skinning? P.S: Thank you so much for putting so much work into a game most won't touch because of its age. As a buddy said the other day, "Rpgs will live on mods."

Hmmm. On the Xbox, I found a workbench close to Sion as the Exile... It was in a small cubby room.

Then try to upgrade the micropulse blaster with a Mandalorian chamber.

That's what happens when you mod the game too much. I could probably name off between 50 and 100 scripting functions right now. We all remember some random bits and pieces of KotOR. I still remember the templateresref for the Boma because of some scripting experience I had back in November of last year. I spent a few days trying to make a custom function work, and I was using the Boma("c_boma01") as a test subject...

Ah. In that case, I'd send a PM to ZM90.

Yep, your fixes worked! Before release, you should probably put the .are file into the .rim.

Both issues are confirmed, though the Iridonian one I got around by hitting either the 1,2, or 3 number keys at the top of the keyboard and then going back through the tree...

And I have proof that the devs cheated! Look at the back of the case and you'll see your party in the Taris Apartments. It always bugged me that they did that!

The key phrase there is "so far"... VP and Bead-V aren't really adding that much new content. They're mainly just rearranging the pieces to make more sense to the average Joe who hasn't opened 90% of the game's files in Kotor Tool. They are adding some new content though. If the plan hasn't changed, they will make it possible to manually travel to Malachor(so you can finish other quests first), make you make a choice of your priorities in the Trayus Academy, and some of the rest of the changes are here:(They were also in the FIRST POST)

True, but think of the scrapbook you guys could make! Complete with video interviews, video montage and pics from their time at Obsidian, and the same for TSLRCM and M4-78EP... ...actually, I think I'd pay big money to have that book, guys!

You should here mine! True, I'm in the United States and only 17, but it still sounds weirder than everbody my age!

Now I getto read your posts with your voice pkaying in my head! Scary!

My voice sucks worse!

I know!

I can't wait! I just finished the other podcast.

I know! Zybl, you sound freaking amazing! Irish, or Russian, or other? At 36:30-37:00= And HK-47 would be whining all the way about his blind spots! Just my two cents. I just have to say WOW! I really enjoyed this podcast, guys! Thank you so much for this. Nearly had me crying a few times. This hasn't a chance of escaping my hard drive. I love you Zybl! I lost track of who was who. The only person I could keep track of was Zybl.

I'm availabe!

Sure, though my internet spotty right now. I'm Fair_Strides on Skype.
