You may be able to use ForceHeartbeat() to interrupt the six second delay between heartbeats if you combine it with DelayCommand, though the notes for the function say it only works with creatures. IIRC, stoffe used it in her Combat Simulation Arena, and was the one who first mentioned it to me.

You can add lines in KT, yes, but as far as I know, you can't add columns, which is what TSLPatcher can do. Modifying the necessary files to test this would mean a great deal of very boring work, which leads me to suspect no-one has tried and as such the received wisdom on this is probably not all that reliable. Until Sithspectre tried it a while back, we thought the types of model you could use for ammo were hard-coded, too.

You can add columns to existing .2da files using TSLPatcher. I haven't tried it, but would it not be possible to add the necessary extra columns to appearance.2da that way, as well as altering the necessary information in baseitems.2da, etc.?

This looks... amazing. Please, keep up the fantastic work.

View File Gameplay Rework The short version: this mod changes gameplay in TSL by changing the level cap to 20 and thinning out the force and skill points that each class gets. It also alters primary abilities, hit die, force die, and attack bonuses for each class (which used to all be the same). Health regen is switched off, and FP regen starts from a lower base (0.6 instead of 1.0).

The reason that people don't sign it is because it's completely pointles. It will achieve absolutely nothing. BioWare, by the way, refuse to even acknowledge KotOR modding, and won't allow it to be discussed on their forums. And they certainly aren't going to give away their IP for nothing. If they haven't released the source code to the Infinity engine, why would they for Odyssey? They gain nothing and lose potential future licensing money.

HK-50s have red eyes, HK-51s still have blue eyes. I do have some screenshots of the HK-50s, but for some reason only one screenshot ever shows up out of the ones I upload here. The others are visible (or should be) in the Holowan thread: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?p=2830627#post2830627 Yes I probably did mean LOKI; I haven't played ME2 in a while...

Looking good, VP! Would love to see more.

File Name: Holopanels File Submitter: InSidious File Submitted: 31 Mar 2013 File Category: Skins This mod replaces the standard, large computer panels with 'holographic' versions, inspired by the Mass Effect games.

That would fit. IIRC there was a "Sikon" around at that time who may or may not have been the same person as "S" (of the early Vash restoration mod). But TBH, it's all a bit garbled from those days...

I think this might be an even earlier version - I found a copy on my computer with a date modified of 2005, and which contains the line "I have never needed you", includes other responses from Nihilus (including one where he falls to the ground momentarily, on hearing that Traya lives), has different shots of Nihilus' attack on Sion (no close-up of Nihilus, and a head-on shot of the beams), among other things. Unfortunately, I've only got the file itself, and no indication of who made it.

Does that include the version someone (can't remember who - S, who made the original Vash restoration mod, maybe?) released on the TSLRP boards in about 2006ish?

One idea you might like to consider is editing the current content so that it branches a bit more, specifically re: Atris and Nihilus. In the cut content, What I was toying with a while back was the idea of using this to split the plot even further, so that you either have the Handmaiden and issues with Atris, or Visas, and issues with Nihilus, but not both. It presents some problems with the plot for Telos, but not as many for the end-game as it might, funnily enough. Just an idea I thought was interesting, and might be of use.

Several points of advice which are worth knowing: - Planning now means less time revising, fiddling, dawdling, and wasting time later; - Reading tutorials is never time wasted; - If you don't know how, read the tutorial, test the result, and then go and ask - it's the only way to learn; - 90% of the work goes into 90% of the mod; the other 10% of the mod requires another 90% of the work; - If you can't find the bug, it's probably very, very simple, and very, very obvious; - Label unique files with a unique modder identifier (e.g.: I start most files with "di_"); this saves you time, eases compatibility, and makes it easier to tell which mod (and by whom) any file is. Which is a huge help to people working on stuff. That's all for now.

First of all, welcome! The work you've posted so far is beautiful. Some TSL textures are from K1 - the ones for Dantooine and Korriban in part, of course - but there are a lot of new ones. On modding - it was a lot more active until c. 2010. And the fact that the Filefront network has been paralysed since 2011 has rather put a damper on things. On tools - to be honest, there were never more than a handful who actually knew how the game engine(s) worked in any way, and most of them have long gone by now, unfortunately. On the snow texture in 262TEL - you can swap that one specific one by hex-editing the relevant module .mdl file - though which one is the one used for the hangar bay, I'm not sure. There's some instructions on doing this in this tutorial at Holowan, if you're interested/need information on the topic. I'm very out-of-date on modelling for these games, but as I recall, editing existing module models doesn't work, and just tends to crash the game, unfortunately.

By "jittery droids", do you mean the problem with the scout droid used on the surface of Telos? I'm not sure why, but I generally find it develops an animation fault after a while to do with the way it bobs up and down.

Sorry, forgot to add that you need to make the same changes to the height and width fields under [Graphics Options], too. I've added it to the original post, now.
