A tease . . . of the next version of M4-78 EP

Recommended Posts

Ooookay, what are M4-78 droids doing on the Citadel during the Sith attack?

 

He did say it's not technically TSLRCM. (HH tends to work on 1.8.3 and M4-78 EP fixes at the same time.)

My question still stands though.

SPOILERS AHEAD

And he really should have started a new thread . . . in the M4-78 section.

don't want to make a new thread...

... but apparently I did.

 

No new progress to show... at least of things I want to show ;)

Great - yes, but some commentary would be helpful. What exactly is being added and fixed?

Teasers are meant to give away minimal information but to leave the viewer wanting to know more.  :P

 

Though I too am interested in what this means. Who are these aliens, and what do they have to do with M4-78?

 

Incidentally are you making a changelog, or is this supposed to be a surprise until the full reveal?

Stuff.

...

 

Seriously now, since I'm not done (and thus 'what's being added' is subject to change depending on how well it goes, likewise for 'fixed' what's not yet fixed) I can't say.

Feels like we'll get to calibrate droid's weapons on meatbags :D

Just finished working on Kaah's death-scene... and I have to say, it's pretty darn nice now, if I say so myself...

THE SITH LORDS RESTORED CONTENT MOD ADD-ON:

M4-78 Enhancement Project (Patched)

 

1. Description:

----------

This mod adds the planet of M4-78 to the game, where you can find Master Vash alive. The planet is only available after finishing Korriban. You will find a clue on how to get to M4-78 in Korriban's Sith Academy.

 

Features:

* Brand new planet consisting of seven new, unique locations!

* Over two hours of additional gameplay!

* Explore the mysterious Droid's Planet in a dialog-heavy adventure, with over 1000 lines of voiced dialogs!

* Your actions on M4-78 have impact on other planets, making it feel like a legitimate part of the game!

* Restored previously unavailable unique droid items for your party members!

 

Please note that for now, M4-78 Enhancement Project is only compatible with English versions of the game. If possible, we'll try to support it with translations same way we supported TSLRCM - but given the amount of text on this planet, it may take a while to translate.

In the meantime, it's *possible* (though many people experience errors so it's not advised) to run this mod with non-English versions of the game using DLGConverter - visit our forums for further assistance.

 

2. Installation:

----------

1. First, you will need to get the most up-to-date version of TSL Restored Content Mod (1.8.3) (TSLRCM 1.8.3). It's available for download here: http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/197-tsl-restored-content-mod/

Please note that M4-78EP will NOT work AT ALL without TSLRCM.

2. Follow TSLRCM's installation instructions.

3. Once TSLRCM is successfully installed, run M4-78EP.exe. Installer will ask you where you want to install the mod - it should figure out where TSLRCM is installed by itself, so you probably won't need to change that. If, for some reason, the installer shows an incorrect folder, make sure you change it to directory where KotOR 2 is installed (where swkotor2.exe is located, NOT any of subfolders).

4. While we try our best to make this mod as bug-free as possible, with the many options of KOTOR2 and our small testing team it can happen that bugs, including critical ones, pass through. We will fix them, so check our site for any potential updates and patches.

5. Install any compatible mods you desire now.

 

3. Patch fixlist:

----------

! Fixed "stuttering droid" bug.

! Additional content!

! Added 2 Easter Eggs. Go find them ;)

! Modified endgame sequences.

! Telos Attack and the Rebuild Academy are now properly updated like they should, as they were accidentally left out of the original installation.

! Various spelling and grammatical fixes throughout the mod.

! Updated several quest entries for added clarity.

 

General:

* Killing Vash will no longer incorrectly increment 000_Jedi_Killed, which could lead to various issues.

* Fixed Vash appearing on M4-78 too soon when talking to T3 about the Jedi Masters.

* Fixed Vash appearing injured if it stated M4-78 and not dead when talking to T3.

* Changed hyperspace to look a little more like vanilla hopefully.

 

Korriban:

* Fixed Lost Jedi not updating sometimes. (T3 hint)

* Fixed conversation break and no quest update with Disciple. (no Atton)

* Fixed Disciple vo/st mismatch.

 

M4-78 Landing path:

* Fixed exile appearing shortly before the interlude cut-scene.

 

M4-78 Cental Zone:

* Changed mechanics of the M4-78 door opening, preventing the door to open but an invisible wall still blocking you entrance in certain cases. Also fixed the door still being visibly floating above the building when open.

* Modified broken droid dialogue to make it slightly more obvious where to get the droid legs.

* If you kill Vash you will now also get a proper introduction to M4-78.

* The force field can no longer be bashed by a lightsaber (if so, why was Vash still there?)

* Fixed "hidden ending."

* Modified core-quest update script. It would return 'have 1' if you had 5 or more. Now it will always return you have enough (4) if that's the case.

 

M4-78 Environmental Zone:

* Fixed HK not being re-added after HK-50 fight (missing file).

* Reduced hitpoints of boss droid

 

M4-78 Industrial Zone:

* Fixed missing quest update from retrieving memory core from living astromech droids.

* Fixed all astromech droids once broken being able to give the part, not just the one who should have got it.

* Fixed IS-56 sometimes not talking about I0-01, blocking progress.

* Some Droid Designers were sent back to work, and will now use the computer animation instead of standing around doing nothing.

* Fixed medical vendor showing all stims twice in his inventory.

 

M4-78 Core:

* Fixed Kaah not properly appearing when leaving the mainframe in some cases.

* Kaah will no longer drop a lightsaber upon being killed.

* "M4-78: Recent History" will now close with a failure quest description if you enter the M4-78 core while it being rendered uncompletable.

* Reduced hitpoints of Vash

 

M4-78 flooded sections:

* IS-43 will now look the same during and after the radiation flood.

 

4. Uninstallation

----------

Run uninstall program created in your game's main directory.

 

5. FAQ / KNOWN ISSUES

---------

Q. M4-78 does not appear on the galaxy map.

A. Finish Korriban, and follow your quest instructions.

 

Q. Slow performance in the industrial zone.

A. If you experience this, try turning down graphics for the duration of this map. Also make sure the Disable Vertex Buffer = 1 fix is in your swkotor2.ini!

 

Q. I can't finish "Recent history: M4-78"!

A. This quest requires you to very specifically interrogate droids and events around the world. It's intended to be only completable for the very thorough. Try to finish it if you can!

With the patch it will automatically fail if you don't, so it won't remain in your quest log for the entire game may you fail to do so.

 

Q. I am missing droids.

A. Make sure you have no incompatible mods running along M4-78EP.

 

Q. I can't find all 4 power cores for the puzzle

A. There are more than 4 cores to be found, so there are several options where you missed one or several. Check with every droid, and make sure to loot everything to find the ones you missed!

 

Q. My question is not answered here!

A. Feel free to ask us at our official forum;
