I know I don't like to present problems for you this close to the release of 1.8.2, but I had a few little things I noticed in my last playthrough on Nar Shadaa. First of all, (I thought it was hilarious personally) when Kreia decides to bludgeon Bao Dur at the beginning part of the Red Eclipse incident (I'm trying to stay vague to avoid spoiling it for someone who's never seen this part) anyway, She says her line and proceeds to gut punch him, but instead of a passing out animation, Bao just equips a shield and stands there. He continues to stand until the scene changes locations and is then shown on the ground, presumably unconscious. At the end of the encounter, I met visas for the first time (I was visiting Nar Shadaa first, so this is where she tries to attack me or whatever) and for me, the animation for her lightsaber ignition is missing. She stands still and while the lightsaber ignition sound is played, nothing happens. However, she does fight me with her lightsaber, so it is only missing for that particular animation. Another thing I noticed during this playthrough, was that if I were to ask how to play Pazzak from Atton again, I could never beat him. That is, when I chose to Draw another card at the end of a round rather than standing, I would get the tutorial pop-up, but pressing Draw another Card on the pop-up does nothing and the only way to complete the game is to forfeit. I guess it really only applies if someone wants to beat Atton at the tutorial for their own odd reason, but it was still I guess, irking...? And now that I remember it, at Lupo's swoop gallery, when or if you decide to trash Lupo's racing droid, the Rodian and Duro racers aren't reacting to what has happened. The Rodian still thinks that there is an unbeatable droid and that (she?)'ll never be able to leave Nar Shaddaa. And the Rodian is his same kind of crazy, but he still thinks the droid is a contender. Both of these sentients are doing this while the droid is laying in a smoking heap not two meters from them! I noticed this because I wanted to give my prize money to the Rodian (for LS points ) so that S/he can finally leave, but couldn't.

Hmm... I just have to click the add image button in the options of my album. However, you can't seem to get an album, so I guess that could be your number-one suspect. (I can't test this as I already have an album and can't add a new one or delete the one I have, so I can't help you determine how to make albums work; I vaguely remember some problem I had with making one, but I can't recollect it. Sorry I can't be of more help, ya know?.... Other than that another possibility could be your image type. Is your file a .jpeg .jpg .png or .gif? If not, then that's why they wouldn't upload. (if you ever got past the album creation part) Incidentally, have you included any images in your posts on this site? Specifically, did you attach and then add them? Every attachment you make regardless of where will end up clogging your attachment file cache (which I previously mentioned). If you try uploading anything including attachments to a post when it's full, you will get the error message, "upload failed" On that note, I would suggest you trying to upload an image into a conversation threads or post. If it works, then you can upload images and just can't make an album (which was a pretty simple fix ....in my hazy recollection, anyway :S)

1) Have you uploaded any images before now, and is your personal image storage space clear? I had the same problem with me getting the message "image upload failed" when my image cache was full. (It's located in your profile page at Edit Profile then Settings and Manage Attachments. 2) Did you get an error message, like "wrong filetype"? The uploader only supports .jpegs for image uploads. (It may also be due to too large of a filesize, but I don't remember any file size limits, so I can't be sure. I hope this helps, but this is all I have found in my experience anyway.

I hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question, but are sparks thrown during fight animations (when the player gets hit by a kick, for instance) hardcoded? Or is there just a file I can't find that changes/removes them?

Hhhhow... do you????! That has to be the coolest mod breakthrough in recent years! ...Next, pilot the sandcrawler!

I like the originality of Czerka R&D. _.. I um also don't know enough about the difference between wikia and wikispaces, so I voted "other". (since I had to, in order to vote)

I reiterate: All he did was overreacted. I saw no inference that he was going to oversee the project and hog the glory in his post... If anything he cared so much about a mod that he wanted to get it done with complete disregard for his own inabilities (which he plainly admits). One should not go opening old wounds is all, I say. ... Also. How the heck did this get unlocked?

Ah. I remember it happening when I played 1.7, but that's okay.

I have a weird glitch in the Telos Academy when you first arrive; where the handmaidens don't Aherm* disrobe when fighting. Now, it's not that I mind playing it PG13 style, it's just immersion breaking especially when they give their diatribe about clothing interfering with fighting and then immediately proceeding to fight in bulky clothing. The only mods I have installed that aren't textures, the visual effects mod, or hi-rez movies/ loading screens; are TSLRCM, the Admiralty mod w/ Darth Hayze patch, and Coruscant as an explorable planet.

With a more highly advanced lighting and visual effects package. (and some hilarious easter egg-style secrets) ...The Yoda antiquity painting is my personal favorite.

Here, here. G0T0's curious appearance may have been visually interesting (or at least thought provoking), but from a gameplay perspective, his design didn't exactly garner anything useful. All he could do was float... and shoot maybe. He had all of the capabilities of a mobile turret with a mouth of sass. No one wanted to play him because HK-47 could do the exact same things (except he could walk and run). IMHO if a game character is useless in gameplay, then no matter how intriguing of a story, they become uninteresting.

Was it too unfeasible to implement or was it stalled due to a lack of interest?

I've been curious ever since I found the "bumpmaptexture" string in the text field on the Hutt texture, so I finally opened the C_Hutt01b file in Photoshop and here's what I saw. Now, I'm not too familiar with the NWN engine's complexities, but that looks like a proper Normal Map! This leads into my overall goal of possibly adding bumps to more texture geometry if someone could decipher whatever code is in the texture text under the preview window of the KotorTool. and then possibly try a different normal map and see if it works. Perhaps when they add a different bumpmap to a different texture they can reference it using that code.

I'm not trying to be a thread necromancer, but I believe that some of the problems people are experiencing could be the work of the Appearance.2da not setting its envmap to CM_Baremetal (The texture used for shiny metallic effects) I got the exact same problem when I added a mandalorian soldier texture that had an alpha layer and was set to use the CM_Baremetal texture by a .txi file. The way I solved it was to go into my Appearance.2da (in the override folder) with the KotorTool and change the envmap field from DEFAULT to CM_Baremetal. Hopefully this helps without having to dump all of the texture alpha data to see them properly.

Why did no one tell me this existed?!!!! ..I have always said (to myself and people I know) that if Ravensoft actually invested their resources by 1. updating the Jedi Knight engine, 2. Fleshing out a full story with believable and mature writing, and 3. Made a believable level of detail and level design, Jedi Knight Academy would actually have been an improvement of Outcast. Well, I've tinkered to try to make this a reality all of these years, and now I find out that people have already done it?! I feel an odd mixture of excitement at the prospect of it actually happening and disappointment at all of the hours I worked on something that was already there for years. __but I'll reserve my judgement until I actually play it__ Edit_ Installed and tried playing, but couldn't get out of lodge zone. After loading it up again, it kept crashing and saying that the UI wasn't found... aw well. :|

What do you mean a "Patched Version"? I have uniws, but when I try to use the utility it has TSL grayed-out. Is there a different version of uniws, or do I do something else? Also, the HUD patches all make my HUD either unusably offset or completely non-visible. Is there a patch that works with 16x9 monitors which puts the HUD in the right place?

I agree with your option two. It makes more sense if you're lightside, that there would be another way other than muscling them away or killing them. Additionally, I think that the other guards would intervene at least partially if you killed the duo, but I know that would be much harder to implement with the way the factions are; so I like the idea at least.

No, I'm talking the entire image tile. The images are all 512 px on their own, but it seems to cause a slowdown (or heat-up in my comp's case) with the full 24. I don't know how the engine handles textures, but the full 24 frames isn't divisible by two, so I'm having to consider more options. Basically what I'm getting at is whether having 24 full slides is causing the slowdown, or if it is just because 3072x2048 isn't divisible by 2. Do you mean, if I add more slides, it will perform better since it's divisible by two? I have no idea of how the engine processes textures.
