Hi I am new here I have a request or suggestion for a Recruitment Mod for Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic which is the Revan one, I have a new character I suggested His name will be Corporal First Class Dak Benkins a Republic Soldier from the Endar Spire Why Dak Benkins Because wouldnt' it be nice if a recruitment mod could be made of one sole surviving Republic Soldier from the Endar Spire well I have the idea to it. https://swfanon.wiki...iki/Dak_Benkins for more details of his history, Born on the planet of Corellia to House Benkins, he studied at the School of Starship Engineering and was good friends with Aidus Denlin (whom was a Republic Soldier and Corporal First Class aboard the Endar Spire whom also was killed), and also a Rodian named Arod "Arrow" Renning, and a Chadra-Fan male named Vyrr Wezz, he graduated in 3958 BBY and both Benkins and Denlin went to serve in the Republic in 2nd Battalion Alpha, (so only one character as follows can be created) Dak however survived (not as my fandom goes but if it's addapted then yeah), He survived the longest and after when Trask Ulgo was killed we meet up with Dak Benkins in the corridors and he joins your party possibly in Juhani's party list spot, He does have more to his history that is, and he has the regular Republic Soldier face and also he would be the same guy from KOTOR II The Sith Lords at Telos IV at Citadel Station with a unknown Onderon Royalist Guard if you remember that, But just a fair reminder we want him to be voiced by someone maybe either me or somebody else, And yes will have it that he would follow us to the very end and be seen at the end after Revan rewarded Cross of Glory that is, So what do you think of my recruitable mod idea Character Republic Solider Corporal First Class Dak Benkins mod. He wears the Republic Armor like all the other troops in the game. He has the rank of Corporal First Class He would have a history of his childhood life origins when he lived on Corellia, with friends like Aidus Denlin, Arod "Arrow" Renning, and Vyrr Wezz, His girlfriend will be seen on Manaan Sith Lieutenant Ellabelle Blenlin, which will be an odd thing for a Republic and Sith trooper both sides both being in a romantic relationship while on Manaan, Two pics seen here Junior Lieutenant Ellabelle Blenlin is to be the only Sith Officer with freckles and also ponytail hair unlike the remaining female Sith Officers in the game, she will be Dak Benkins' girlfriend she is on good terms with the Republic and is undercover with the Sith, Junior Lieutenant Gareth Carplin is also friends with Ellabelle and only best friend second only to Dak he is on good terms with the Republic undercover, keeping a low profile, Both Ellabelle and Gareth are not to be recruitables at all but just allies of Dak Benkins of both different sides Republic and Sith, (Note) Even though I had also wrote characters Captain Hugo Gurragann and Private J'aahn Lancoln they might have to be absent because not every character is recruitable in the first KOTOR game, That's the biggest issue yet about recruitable characters if introduced then they might have to remain as throw-away characters if they survived Endar Spire and also remain at the hideout on Taris and also means remain aboard the Ebon Hawk the rest of the way not as playables, Also they're will be a few sidequests on Manaan only for his arc stories like many of Revan's party members, his arc stories include at the Sith Cantina where Duan and Viglo are, we meet Sith Officer's Junior Lieutenant Ellabelle Blenlin and Gareth Carplin whom exchange they're true colours that they're on good terms with the Republic and dont' like the Sith they're are undercover like a fulcrum agent but they're isn't a word in KOTOR called it they're just undercover for Roland Wann as double agents giving vital information to him, Dak learns that not all Sith are bad and can't all be bad at least a few, Dak and Ellabelle would go out on date and also take her to the Vistor's Hotel in Ahto City from their they talk and later before he leaves she gives him a communicator to keep in allied contact with her and also promises to take her out on a second date again sometime when the war has ended, Dak's second quest is he meets his old friends from Corellia, both the Rodian Arod "Arrow" Renning and the Chadra-Fan Vyrr Wezz, where "Arrow" is just the Captain of the New Controller, the Ebon Hawk's sister ship of the Dynamic-Class Freighter fleet, and Vyrr is the Co-Pilot of the New Controller, we only have four crewmembers with them, Navigator Nikto Salsose Vec, Gunner Mandalorian Neo-Crusader War Veteran Rokis Zuhl from Clan Zuhl an old comrade in arms with Canderous Ordo during the Mandalorian Wars, Gunner/Ships Cook Trandoshan Tshossork Augri, and Ships Medical Officer Human Female Lea Stryder are only to appear from New Controller the others are just mentioned only and Kel Dor Tol Ban, Cerean Ny-Mudurr-No Mosil, Ugnaught Montru, will not be introduces as nor Kel Dor, Cerean, Ugnaught are in KOTOR engine sadly unless created by one of the modders be a total nightmare, the humans ex-Jedi Knight Beltok Koren, and crewmembers female Yasmyn Starr, and Male Silus Riou, and Rodian Female Hii Zsa, and Twi'lek male Fawzijoz are just mentioned only, since KOTOR only has the avaliable species the Rodian, Chadra-Fan, Nikto, Trandoshan, avaliable for New Controller's crew roster, in this mission they have to kill a courrpt Duros Bounty Hunter at the Visitors Hotel named Room Moks, he and several of his thugs have stolen goods from shops in Manaan which the crew plans to buy, also Moks' wants revenge for his college's death Davik Kang on Taris, Dak, Revan you control as, and only one party member your choice of pick assists you to help "Arrow"s crew stop Moks on Manaan, they face him down and literally kill Moks at the Visitor's Hotel, after that "Arrow"s crew take the goods and "Arrow" says fairwell to Dak before going and promises him to join them again on another mission when the war ends, That is a bigger problem in the making, So we might have to just have the standalone Dak Benkins for all the rest of the Game, Also we will need a voice actor for Dak Benkins, maybe me but since I cannot post gmail account here rather it's best that I'd be messaged privately to do it and I'd need the script written of Dak Benkins's dialogue needs to be well written, and if our party member like Carth, or Bastila, or Mission, or Zaalbar, or T3-M4, or Canderous Ordo, or Juhani, or HK-47 or Jolee Bindo replies at Dak just to remember you will have to try sentice audio mix and either join words together like I seen them do it in some funny YTP videos on Youtube or of course elsewhere it can be done like some of the KOTOR machinima creators did short dailogue too, the idea will involve if we can find a way to pernounce Dak Benkins, we ought to find how to get it spelled and pernouce D.A.K for Dak and then will find a way to pernouce B.E.N.K.I.N.S for Benkins if we can combine words together thus in KOTOR it's not hard and believe me that I actually joined Bao-Dur's words together and spelled this is how I did Bao-Dur's lines to spell Caleb Deming, How to spell Deming on sentence mixing. First choose word of Dantooine or Data take Da of ta use Da for 'D' Temperate or Letting take em from Temperate use for Dem and take ing or you can use readings take the other meaning of ing then we spell and you have the word 'Deming' Another hint how to spell Caleb which I did for Bao-Dur We take the word 'Cant' shorten to Ca take Ca of nt, Let we take le we shorten of t use le Obsolete we shorten off Ob remove solete use Ob then we spell teh word and you have 'Caleb' So we spell 'Caleb Deming' That's isn't hard when you can sentence mix on movie makers for audio attempts. so they're you have it. So also try to attempt to maybe look into sentence mixing Dak Benkins for me or us fans with either Carth, Bastila, Mission, Canderous, HK-47, Juhani, and possibly that of course Jolee, or some characters will sentence mix to make good dailouge so why not give that a try it's not hard once you sentence mix for a mod. or for a machinima. Also I hope you might like my suggestion I have in mind, also since I am new for the time being I might post out four mod request ideas in the topic that could be suggested upon for future mod ideas for anyone who is willing to do them, this is my penulitmate idea for KOTOR mod creators as it's number one on the mod request list, I will leave out four ideas on the list if anyone likes the ideas

Recruitable Corporal 1st Class Dak Benkins - Soldier of the Endar Spire (A Request Recruitable Mod for KOTOR I). Since I have not talked about Dak Benkins for years above end I have been talking about the potential of introducing Dak Benkins to KOTOR I, he would have a Revan Head like this guy with fair skin and dark hair but the pc head could get his eyes browned or you can keep it blue upto you, Corporal 1st Class Dak Benkins is a Republic Soldier a Corellian from Coronet City who would join you as the player of Revan PC on the run to Carth Onasi like the idea of Revan's Choice - Endar Spire Mod you are joined by Regin so like how Regin joins you the idea would be Corporal 1st Class Dak Benkins joins up with you in the corridor he is the sole survivor of 2nd Battalion Alpha after he tried to save his comrade friend from his childhood Corporal 1st Class Aidus Denlin, He joins in the Playable Recruitment Mod in the role of Juhani's place replacing Juhani, The character would travel with you to Carth Onasi at the escape pod and alongside Revan accompanies you on Taris and with the choice of Mission Vao, Zaalbar, or the choice of Bastila or T3-M4 and can join for Davik Kang's estate alongside Canderous Ordo, Side Quests they are 2 for the story on Manaan he, Revan and whatever party member is with you will assist Benkins alongside his Smuggler Friends who he knew from his childhood from Corellia, Arod 'Arrow' Renning the Male Rodian and Captain of the Ebon Hawk's sister ship New Controller and the Chandra-Fan Male First Mate Vyrr Wezz, with him are few crew members of New Controller they are the Male Nikto Navigator named Salsose Vec, the Muscles Gunner the Human Male Mandalorian Neo-Crusader War Veteran Rokis Zuhl from Clan Zuhl a old comrade in arms and friend of Canderous Ordo during the Mandalorian Wars, the Ships Cook and Gunner Male Trandoshan named Tshossork Augri, and the Human Female Ships Medical Officer named Lea Stryder, Dak's Mission would be to kill a corrupt GenoHaradan Bounty Hunter at the Visitors Hotel named Room Moks he and several thugs have stolen goods from shops on Manaan and kept some hostages preventing New Controller's crew from buying supplies, Moks' wants revenge for the death of his college Davik Kang from the Exchange on Taris, Revan who you control Dak has to also stick for the mission and one party member you got the choice of Bastila, Carth, Mission, Zaalbar, Jolee, Canderous, T3-M4 or HK-47 to assist 'Arrow's crew to stop Moks on Manaan they face him down and literally kill Moks at the Visitor's Hotel, A music for the mission of the objective is from a Lucio Fulci Horror Film City of the Living Dead with the them playing halfway Lucio Fulci City Of The Living Dead(1980)Theme - YouTube but at the scene of 0:40 verse going like it's chilled action, to 1:51 verse only. After eliminating Room Moks the Male Duros Bounty Hunter and his thugs the Visitor's Hotel is Liberated and 'Arrow's Crew takes the goods and 'Arrow' bids Dak farewell and the gang and he hopes to see him again after the war ends, 2nd Side Quest on Manaan for Dak is when he goes to sees a Junior Sith Officer named Ellabelle Blenlin a Junior Lieutenant from the Sith Empire at the Sith Cantina where Duan and Viglo are, Dak meets Blenlin and her friend Junior Lieutenant Gareth Carplin whom they exchange their true colors and they're on good terms with the republic add don't like the Sith' that well since they're like a fulcrum agent or Sith Splinter Cell who give Roland Wann vital information, Romance between Ellabelle and Dak occurs and he takes her on a date and after wards she promises a second date for him again when the war has ended since Dak has to do his own stuff, Leviathan Capture well apparently that will just be like Juhani going invisiable so that part can remain how she slipped undetected, (or have a scene where he is in the cell but convinces a Sith Guard to give up and defect fight the right cource since he is following the SIth Properganda the wrong side) Since Dak is not among the three prisoners with Revan, Carth and Bastila well Dak is a lucky man and a great guy who can slip past anything, he would rescue the others and he join Canderous and the rest to the Ebon Hawk, They're isn't much we can mention for Rakata Prime but he wishes Revan luck before the big battle that's about it, and he will appear at the Cross of Glory Ceremony as well with Admiral Forn Dodonna. So the Mod Should be a good creation and if your looking for a voice actor I can voice Dak Benkins for you since I am always avaliable remember to contact my details through Discord or Gmail to do it if I want to send Audio Files through as I like to voice the character in KOTOR Mod Iteself, Also The Mod will be a free for all uses whoever not likes to use Juhani it's entirely upto them and weather your into soldiers of the republic or jedi of the republic but those who don't wish to use jedi and smugglers or whatever whoever is a military fan your welcome to create Recruitable Corporal Dak Benkins for use since I have always liked the idea of a unknown Republic Soldier suriviving Endar Spire. Dak Benkins is equipped with a Baragwin Assault Rifle and two blaster pistols and a long sword. Regular Soldier Clothing for Revan and Republic Armor included or smugglers clothing maybe a Atton Rand outfit or upto you. Currently Dak Benkins is going to be a character for a Turkish KOTOR Machinima creator in the future who plans to do KOTOR I in future years as I am the users Writer for the story itself a long on going story. Thank you all and yes this is an update for Dak Benkins and possible future activition feel free to create the character when the time comes. Regards The Owner Colby James.

I have been messing around with the excellent Lost Modules resource, and would like to do something with the 2 most complete maps. The Czerka base on Korriban is pretty complete, and can be seen in some early screenshots. The cut shadowlands level is also usable, though there isn't any indication of what it was for. It is probable that content from the shadowlands was moved out of this module to reduce its size (this is obviously entirely speculative). I thought about NPCs that were underused, and immediately went to Garrum and Tar'eelok, the cut NPCs that duel with Vibroblades in the Jedi temple. They have basically no role except to offer Jedi Code exposition. They also use alien voice overs which is the most important consideration. The Czerka base is set up like a hallway, with a shield emitter at the far end, and the obvious plot involving a master and apprentice is to have the master get captured and the apprentice freak out. The Kashyyyk Shadowlands is also an excellent place to have Czerka dealing with the Sith outside of Korriban, as the Sith aren't really present on Kashyyyk, and it provides some interesting combat situations and potential conversation paths to turn less dedicated Czerka employees. Considering all that, I came up with this general story outline: 1. The Shadowlands lift Wookiees mentions that some heavily armed Czerka employees recently went into the Shadowlands after a ship crashed. 2. Entering into the cut Shadowlands level (either inserted in between the existing levels, or as a separate area entered from another entrance), you are attacked by Czerka guards. After fighting through them (or convincing some to run away), you meet Garrum. 3. Garrum has killed a lot of Czerka Employees and a Dark Jedi. You find out that Tar'eelok was captured. You deduce that the Czerka would take them to Korriban, as that is were Czerka and the Sith do business. 4. You then have 4 paths to follow with Garrum: 4. a. Persuade him to go to Dantooine (Light Side) 4. b. Let him go to Korriban Looking for Tar'eelok (Neutral) 4. c. Persuade him to seek Revenge on Korriban (Dark Side) 4. d. Kill him for being (or because you're) evil and giving in to anger (Dark Side) 5. You then go to Korriban and enter the Czerka facility (with identification you found in the Shadowlands). 6. You fight through Czerka Employees and Combat Droids. If Garrum is on Korriban, you have to rescue him from a holding cell while making your way through the base. You then have another conversation. Garrum always stays back to recuperate and catch up to you later. You can push him towards the Light or Dark side in this conversation. 7. Upon shutting down the shield guarding the main room, you find a Dark Jedi and a Czerka Boss, with Tar'eelok in a force cage. Garrum catches up to you at this point. If you pushed Garrum to the Dark Side he electrocutes the Czerka Boss. Either way you fight the Dark Jedi (and the Czerka Boss if alive). 8. Tar'eelok's cage opens once they are both dead. If Garrum is Dark Side, Tar'eelok will be displeased, and piss off Garrum. There are multiple results for this scene depending on what happens: 8. a. If Garrum isn't there, you can let Tar'eelok go to Dantooine or kill her. She will be sad if Garrum is already dead, and may attack you if you say the wrong things. 8. b. If Garrum is Light Side or Dark Side and talked down, she will be happy he is controlling his anger, and they will both go Dantooine 8. c. If Garrum is Dark Side and not talked down, he can be allowed (or encouraged) to kill Tar'eelok. He then runs off 9. The player may return to Dantooine at this point. If either Garrum or Tar'eelok is alive they will appear. A few different ending permutations can happen: 9. a. Garrum and Tar'eelok are alive. They appear in the courtyard outside. Tar'eelok thanks you for helping Garrum control his anger, and he is now a Padawan (regardless of when you did it) 9. b. Tar'eelok appears in the courtyard outside. She is sad and doesn't think she'll take another Apprentice. She thanks you for saving her, but wishes you could have saved Garrum. 9. c. Light Side Garrum can be found in the courtyard outside. He will inquire about Tar'eelok. The player must lie, but he can say she died in the fighting, or was executed before the player arrived. He will be upset he didn't go to Korriban. 9. d. Dark Side Garrum can be found in a bar on Tatooine working to destroy Czerka for turning his master against him. He will run off to disrupt Czerka mining operations. I think this is a fair amount of reactivity, but isn't actually that complicated in terms of setting up dialogues and events. It also gives the player a lot of potential results without feeling too contrived obviously. This is totally conceptual, but I think it makes a good use of these areas, and adds another mulitple planet spanning side quest, which are my favourite parts of the game.

Tatooine Merchant and Quest View File KotOR I Tatooine Merchant Mod Description: This is the first mod I've ever made - hooray! This is a simple mod which will add in a new merchant to Tatooine and give him a small sidequest. He'll be in the first module of Tatooine (on the wall on the side closest to the door), and for the mod to work it is required you have never been to Tatooine before. The enemies you may face are quite strong, by the way. Oh, and there's also some new poorly skinned robes. They were mainly a test if I could add a new item, and I thought I should at least *try* to make a new skin. Gotta start somewhere though, right? Installation: Put all of the files in to the Override folder. Uninstallation: Remove the files. Compatability: You'll need the JRL Merger for this mod to be compatible with other mods if there is already a global.jrl in your override. This mod also won't be compatible with any mod which alters the dialogue when you first arrive on Tatooine or when you arrive at the Czerka Offices. Thanks to Fair Strides & Kexikus for helping me out with dlg editing and scripts, and thanks to Rece for his great tutorials on his YouTube channel. I've also added a save for anyone who doesn't already have one or doesn't want to play through the game to see the mod. Warning: It's just a save warped from the beginning of the game to use the mod, so DO NOT use it to play the rest of the game.

Yesterday I acquired all the pieces needed to create my lightsaber, and as normal I went to Bao Dur and went through the necessary dialog "Do I have all the parts..." etc. I chose single hilt (I have since tried double bladed to be sure) and I got the pop up with "2000 xp, quest updated, items lost" but no 'Items gained' and when I checked my invent there was no lightsaber. I have loaded this and tried again and again but the issue remains. The reason I have put this into the modding section is I have two mods running for Bao Dur exclusively: - Bao Dur's electromesh armor - http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/667-bao-durs-electromesh-armor/ - Bao Dur's repulser reskin - http://www.gamefront.com/files/5533249/Bao_Dur_s_Repulser_Reskin I doubt the repulser skin would have anything to do with it as it's one single file that doesn't replace - just changes the colour of his 'elbow' I also have a couple of lightsaber mods: Pikesabers - http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/138-tfu-lightsaber-pikes-for-tsl/ Lightsaber expansion - (I can't find a link for this for some reason) Granted, the electro mesh quest wasn't working properly, but running the TSL patcher for the mod fixed this; the lightsaber issue is still occurring. It's not the end of the world, as there are plenty around, but It's annoying that I can no longer seem to create my very own, just doesn't have the same feel using one ripped from the corpse of my dead enemies.. Any thoughts? P.S. I have attached the four mods in question to this post Bao-Dur Electromesh Armor 2.0.zip Bao-Dur Repulsor Reskin.zip Lightsabres expansion.zip Pikesabers.rar

Hi, not sure whether or not this is the right place since my question falls somewhere between modding, save game editing and tech support. I seem to have encountered a bug in TSL (Steam version with latest TSLRCM from the Workshop) where the Bao-Dur conversation that supposedly triggers when you find the sensors in the Kinrath cave on Dantooine didn't happen. Long story short, restoring to an earlier save to try to trigger it this time is not an option (thanks to the weird way TSL handles - or rather doesn't handle - autosaves and quicksaves ) and now I would like to either 1) revert the quest to a point where I can try triggering the conversation again or 2) advance the quest to the point it should be at after the conversation - preferrably with the Bao-Dur influence gain you supposedly get with it Since TSL is known to be full of bugs like that, I would like to find a solution to this that can be applied to other quests/triggers as well. If it is as simple as changing an in-game value (via console or save game editing or whatever) it might be a good idea create a database with all the quests in the game and the flags that keep track of their progress, for science and future generations who might run into these sorts of problems. Since y'all here seem to really know your TSL stuff, I was hoping to find some help with that in here. Thank you very much!
