K1 Community Patch

[Mellowtron11 180]

On another note, would this mod be worth adding to the  community patch? After all, it does fix a skill inconsistency with the Jedi Classes. You'd have to get darthbdaman's permission of course. 

 

[darthbdaman 71]

He has my permission for everything already. I do lean towards that mod being a fix, but idk how other people feel about it

[Guest Qui-Gon Glenn]

I have been concerned about A Future Pilot for some time now. We haven't heard from them since there were complications with their newborn.

I don't do the prayer thing, but if any of you is in contact with AFP, please let us know that they are alright.

Thank you for the concern!

I'm doing alright, things have just been really crazy. My baby girl has some serious brain damage and we've been in and out of the hospital a lot recently (Although it looks like we're home for a good stretch now). I also just got a full-time job and I'm still finishing up a web project that I started a long time ago. So all things considered, I have pretty much no time for anything right now.

Hopefully it'll only be another couple weeks before things will settle down and I can take up modding again though...I miss it! 

For those of you who are the praying type, our little girl's name is Fiona, and we're standing in faith for healing, if you'd be so kind as to pray with us for that  Also my wife is at home taking care of her all day, so that can get pretty tough sometimes, and she'd definitely appreciate your prayers as well.

Thank you all!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to stop by and give everyone an update on the Community Patches.

Although I've started to have a little bit more of a normal schedule these days, I'm still really busy and as much as I'd like to work on modding KOTOR, it always seems to slip further and further down my TODO list. However, there's still lots to do on the patches, and I don't want them to stagnate, so towards that end I'm giving @JCarter426 and @DarthParametric permission to update both of the community patches. They are both veteran modders who understand the spirit of the patches, and will take good care of it I'm sure!

This doesn't mean I'm done working on them, just that I'm bringing in other people to the project for its own good  I'll still work on it whenever I get the chance for sure!

Thanks again for all your well wishes and support!!

[A Future Pilot 161]

Hiya peoples! I'm looking for input!

First off, JC and DarthParametric have been hard at work knocking stuff off the to-do list, and a new release shouldn't be too far out now. They've been awesome, and this patch wouldn't be the same without them!

Secondly, as things have been worked on over the last little bit, we've decided that future releases of the K1CP (and K2CP if the need arises) will have tiers. In the TSLPatcher, you'll have three options to select from, with each higher tier including the changes of the lower tier.

Right now, the basic idea for the tiers is like so:

Tier 1: Pure bug fixes that don't have any visual change
Tier 2: Bug fixes and some enhancements that will change some visual things
Tier 3: Enhancements that are somewhat subjective

As I said, if you select Tier 2, you'll get Tier 1 and Tier 2 installed, and if you select Tier 3, you'll get all 3.

Right now we're trying to nail down the exact definition of each tier. For instance, should making the miners on Tatooine wear Czerka outfits be in Tier 1 or Tier 2? (It's a clear bugfix, but it's a visual change). Is any ported content OK in Tier 2, or should that only go in Tier 3? That's where y'all come in! What are your thoughts on what the exact definition of each tier should be?

Let me know what you're thinking!

Thanks!

[JDub96 54]

I feel like Tier 1 should consist of repairing technical, scripting, or graphical issues. Things that actually affect gameplay. Tier 2 should consist of visual changes that correct lore or fix bugged appearances that cause texture issues or NPC and items having the wrong appearances. Tier 3 should consist of items that make the same edits of Tier 1 and 2, but do not necessarily fall under the category of bugged or lore breaking changes. Like the VFX remover for attacks.

Since we are probably getting close to content-lock for v1.8, I figured I'd post an update of where K1CP is currently at in terms of added content. Some of these additions are from existing mods, but many have been created specifically for K1CP.

Yes!

And particularly this one -

• Added a fix for Sand People disguises not working after the player used the rapid transit system or loaded from a save while disguised

That's the answer for my earlier bug with them which "forces" me to take the Dark Side path, hahah.

Looking very forwards to another update/s - and best of luck with the development!

[djh269 264]

This is amazing work guys, incredible!

[Salk 374]

DP,

will there be full documentation/source material for each of the new fixes? I would like to steal (😂) integrate a good number of them as part of my own project. 

I would also recommend considering the revised dialog.tlk from Gimmick5000 as part of the community patch. Once he is ready with it, that is.

Thanks for the excellent work!

[DarthParametric 3,785]

All the script source is available and commented. It is already available on the Github repo in the Source folder. Non-script fixes vary. Generally there is only a vague description in the readme to limit spoilers. Certain fixes we have added in the latest version have been assigned an Issue, which typically provides much more information on the nature of the problem and the specifics of the fix (resolved issues will be in the closed section).

As to the TLK suggestion, my personal preference would be not to include something that of that nature. If people want to use it, they can choose to do so, and it will be compatible with K1CP as long as the install the TLK first.

[JDub96 54]

Dunno if it helps, but I imagine you'd be able to use the Sabers of the Old Republic mod I uploaded in conjunction with the patch if you like. Dorn gave blanket permission to use it.

Dorn gave blanket permission to use any of his created mods.

[DarthParametric 3,785]

Random aesthetic mods don't meet the criteria for inclusion in the Community Patches. We try and steer clear of that sort of thing unless it's a case of a pre-existing vanilla asset (like swapping "lite" models for higher poly/higher res texture versions), or there's some fault in the vanilla asset (like broken lightmaps, model issues, etc.).

[JDub96 54]

Copy that.

[DarthParametric 3,785]

We are several months down the track from the last update where I said we were close to releasing v1.8, but we are super close for realsies this time. @Snigaroo is getting fidgety waiting for it, so we'll soon be doing what will essentially be the final beta test before public release. To that end, I thought I would post an updated changelog of everything that has been added since v1.7.

By my count that's almost four times what I posted back in March. That's some healthy scope creep. As before, you can check out the readme on the Github repo for a full breakdown of the changes and attribution to their various authors. There's also the issue list, which has further detail on specific problems that have been addressed (and remaining outstanding ones).

Oh, and it would be remiss of me not to give special thanks to @ebmar and @Salk for providing a number of bug reports and suggestions/contributions. Thanks also to various other forum and Discord members for providing reports as well over the last 6 months.

Following the recent announcement from @DarthParametric of the very-soon-to-be 1.8 version, I was wondering if I should wait as I was going to start a new game ?

Or if I could already install the master branch ? (but I guess there's no "install.exe" binary for it yet - at least I can't find one in the Github repository) - side question: how could I participate to the beta ?
Or will it then be possible to "upgrade" during a game play, if I install 1.7 now and I switch to 1.8 once it's released ?

@A Future Pilot any thoughts about this ?

There are no binaries included in the public repo, just changes.ini and script source. 1.8 is currently in closed beta. A public release is probably at least a month away.

@A Future Pilot Last year I sent some possible changes to be added, were you able to implement the below changes (a lot are entirely subjective of course )

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statistic Changes:

HK's statistics: 
- I've changed HK's Strength from 16 to 10, as it's a useless attribute for him. I've then added what I've taken onto his Dexterity so it was originally 14 but now it is 20.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reward / Loot Changes:

Upper Shadowlands Captain loot change: 
- He carries a Sith Tremor Sword but it doesn't drop, I have now changed this.

Korriban Sith Torturer loot change: 
- He originally drops a green crystal, which made no sense, so I have changed this to red. 

Jedi Masters loot change: 
- The jedi corpse in the last module on Tatooine originally has a Jedi Master Robe and a Blaster Rifle, I've changed the Blaster Rifle to a Blue Lightsaber. 

Unknown World Footlocker credit swap: 
- In the Temple you get 5000 credits in one of the placeables, I believe this was a joke by the developers as it's not needed at that point. I've changed the credit drop to one of the Leviathan placeables instead.

Manaan Republic Representative reward change: 
- In the vanilla reward script after you complete the main quest on Manaan you are provided with 500 credits, Cardio Power System and the line: g_w_sonicrfl003, which isn't an item template in the game. So I've changed it to the Arkanian Sonic Rifle's UTI (g_w_sonicrfl03).

Yavin Merchant item change: 
- You can now buy the Advanced Agent Interface mask a lot earlier as it becomes obsolete later in the game. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of those make gameplay changes that we generally shy away from unless it's obvious there's a mistake or some other problem. I don't particularly disagree with the changes, but I think it's a subjective issue.

This one does seem up the Community Patch's alley, though.

I completely understand . I'm looking forward to playing this mod for sure!

Due to the extensive changes in this mod, can it be used alongside K1R or is it an either or situation? 

[DarthParametric 3,785]

Probably not advisable, but it would need to be tested to determine for sure.

• Added a new blue Twi'lek male head, ported from TSL

Is the head's name being kept twilek_m05?

[DarthParametric 3,785]

It is. Currently only a single NPC uses it though I think, one of the background NPCs in Javyar's cantina on Taris.
