Update on 1.8

[Sith Holocron 2,471]

What would you say is the main reason it's not coming out this year? Too much fine-tuning to do? Found a major bug? Found more stuff to restore?

Well, to quote Hassat Hunter:

"Still waiting for VarsityPuppet... "

But why is Hassat Hunter waiting for him?

Perhaps either Hassat Hunter or Varsity Puppet could clear it up.

Ultimate balancing mod will compatible with new version TSLRCM?

[Sith Holocron 2,471]

Making the Ultimate Balancing Mod compatible with the new version TSLRCM?

 

No.

 

 

The delay is partly due to the following - since no one else wants to explain . . .

 

- HK Factory: Fixing the finale - VP needs to provide some files to tweak it[/b]

 

- Fixing a camera angle in Malachor V

 

- Deciding which line to use for the Taris traveler in the 201 module

 

- Adding a 005EBO door and other mods to include

 

- Locking the party selection once Ebon Hawk is boarded by Red Eclipse

 

- Fixing .tlk typo's

 

- Prevent leaving Khoonda through the back door during the fight inside with the mercenaries

 

So that, among some other surprises, is basically it.

[FireWalker 0]

No.

 

But why?

[Sith Holocron 2,471]

But why?

 

You are kidding, I hope.

 

But just in case you're not, I will explain. TSLRCM fixes TSL. That is all it is designed to do. It is easier for someone (else) to update UBM to work with TSLRCM, than for TSLRCM to work with all the other mods that earlier versions are incompatible with - especially as the other mods that are all incompatible with TSLRCM are likely incompatible with each other. Can you dig it?

 

Perhaps you should ask HaVoKeR why it supposedly doesn't work with TSLRCM . . . just don't ask the question in this thread. Ask in this one.

Thank you for the detailed update on the project's status, Sith Holocron!

 

Much appreciated.

[DragonChild 0]

Indeed, thank you for the update.

Sith Holocron, I'm guessing my re-balancing mod will be incompatible, right? If so, I'll have some work to do when it comes out

Let us know once 1.8 comes out so everyone can know if your mod works with it.

Ebon Hawk;

if (GetGlobalNumber("852NIH_Nihilus_Dead") == 1) {

object oAtton = GetObjectByTag("Atton");

object oExile = GetFirstPC();

 

DelayCommand(0.2, AssignCommand(oAtton, ActionStartConversation(oExile, "pcdead2", FALSE, CONVERSATION_TYPE_CINEMATIC, TRUE)));

return;

}

What could it mean???

[Mandalore 61]

You've got the party to think the Exile is dead (GenoHaradan style)?

[bead-v 251]

You restored an awesome cutscene... however, I'm interested in knowing how you got all the lines to make sense... and also, parts of that dlg are already used elsewhere in TSLRCM...

[zbyl2 811]

Or maybe he just renamed some other convo to pcdead2.dlg ;P

 

[HaVoKeR 3]

Yep, i can work with it (will have to dl all the tools again ¬¬), but i guess.. rcm files have NOTHING to do with UBM, unless in this new version the pro players from here (i mean, creators of RCM) mods some of the npcs files i included in, (or any other, like feat.2da)... i remember that in my last updates, i removed all the bosses .utc files, or most of them because of incompatibility with RCM. Now if they mod the allies of the EXILE (i guess that will not happen, since it never did, or at least, never had incompatibility) then the mod may get incompatible. I could fix it, using the modded version of RCM as default and modding it with my version for the override (right?).

Anyway, don't forget to install my mod first before mods that do changes to dialogs and others (like RCM) through the tsl.exe installer and after HLFP 2.1 (note that improved ai is also sweet with UBM). I'm sorry i never took the work to understand the TSL.EXE installer.

Also mee sa happy that my work is making other star wars nerds like me happy.

Now that would be unfair! =P

[Hassat Hunter 571]

Well, be glad I didn't do that then. But a name can be misleading.

 

At Havoker, all's fine as long as those .utc's are

1) based on TSLRCM's (incase we modified them)

2) Integrated into .mod or .rim files, since many modules share the same name but with different stats... and... crash (see Nihius-Visas movie)

Hmm, if you guys take the allies (from the exile's party) and integrate them in a .mod/rim files i would be soooo saaad. xD could at least tell me which ones right, so i could look into it xD also... if that happen i would have to edit this mod file for a compatible "patch", right?

You know any of those that may have been modded already?

[Hassat Hunter 571]

Not sure what you mean. Dialogue HAS to be in the override folder, can't think we changed anything else about teammates.

me? i don't care much about dialog, i'm talking about .utc files which containt the stats of the exile allies, his party. That would be the only thing modded in 1.8 (that may conflict with the files i put in my mod), but i'm guessing its not happening. So, no compatible problems.

[Hassat Hunter 571]

Nope, no changing character stats. It's a restoration mod after all...

(although be careful with Kreia... since a modified version of her is used in several modules for cutscenes)

I noticed that Opo Chano on Citadel Station allows you to sell him items in order to pay off his debt to the Exchange. Is there a way to remove sell items from his merchant screen until after you pay off his debt? It just seems a little odd that you can pay him off with his own credits. It might be better to just remove him as a merchant and give him dialogue along the lines of "I'm not buying or selling to you until you pay off my debt." if you ask him about what he has for sale.

[Icewolfer93 10]

Hello, so it's been a while since I've been on here and I finally am deciding to sit down and enjoy KOTOR II again, with all the hard work in the Restoration Mod.

Although I see v. 1.7 and a (progressing perhaps?) 1.8.

 

Should I download 1.7 and play it through, or wait for 1.8 before beginning a game?

Is there anything more stable or absolutely inherently better about 1.8? (Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, there's so much on these forums.)

 

Thanks guys!

[Hassat Hunter 571]

Depends wheter when you want to play it.

 

And obviously 1.8 will contain less bugs, some more content and stuff like such... some with a pretty heavy impact like the Random Generated Loot fixes throughout the entire game...
