CactusCole 2 Posted December 15, 2015 Hello, I'm completely new to modding and I would like to see if I have any interest in it so I wanted to start by trying to create a new force power for KotOR I. I've looked around the forums for a bit but I can't find any threads for beginners. Does anyone have any advice on where to begin? What programs do I need to download, should I have any knowledge in coding, etc.? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What programs do I need to download, should I have any knowledge in coding, etc.? Welcome! You will need KotOR Tool ( http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/280-kotor-tool/ ) to access the game's scripts (found under KotOR 1->BIFs->Scripts.bif->Scripts, Source). Knowing coding could certainly help, but you don't necessarily need to know it. This can help you, though not everything in it applies to KotOR scripting: http://www.nwnlexicon.com/index.php?title=Main_Page For what you want to do, you will need to do several things: 1. Script your Force power. This could involve editing k_inc_force.nss and then compiling k_sp1_generic.nss, but that is only one option. It all depends on what you want to do. 2. Edit the game's spells list by editing spells.2da. This could help you: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=130898 If you have any other questions, feel free to ask here and people will try to help you.

CactusCole 2 Posted December 15, 2015 Ok so apparently I am so bad at this that I can't even find the file k_inc_force.nss to see how the existing force powers are scripted. Where exactly is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
