ebmar 893 Posted March 23, 2019 View File [K1] Marlena Venn "Legends" This mod made readjustments to Marlena Venn, both her appearance and positioning on the Dune Sea - to further improve the gameplay aspects from encountering her, and bring a fresh-new experience with her new looks and some other stuffs! # Background # When I met Marlena the first time I know that she's special - in a mysterious way, lol. Yeah, I catch her mysterious side so I did a makeover of her - appearance wise. About the positioning - it bugged me where she was placed so I moved her. Particularly when the conversation was initiated, so with her new placement it looks like she did make the conversation first. And that's how I see the encounter should start. # About this Mod # This modification makes unique appearance for Marlena Venn of Dune Sea [Tatooine], also reposition her to a new spot and replace her recorded voice with the filtered version so it sounded like an actual playback straight from a droid. GIT positioning preview: Spoiler Encounter quick-preview [Outdated - v1.0.0]: Spoiler Ah-ha! It also makes Marlena equip a Blaster Pistol, some Credits, and a Repair Kit. Here's a breakdown of why's: Blaster Pistol: because she was "through planning", she wants to make sure of everything Credits: well, she planned on going shuttle somewhere - it just makes sense for her to carry some Repair Kit: some leftover from earlier tinkering with the droids Those new content was made to connect with jc2's "Kill Marlena". I have tested them together on my playthrough and they work like a charm! A truly-fun content worth installing for you - Dark Siders! Just make sure to install this mod last of them. Without it there'll be no change of plot whatsoever and those additional stuff wouldn't have effects. # Final Remarks # There's always room for an improvements - critiques, comments, suggestions, questions and feedbacks for the next update are much appreciated - PM, write them on my feed or leave any on the mod's page as you please. And thank you! for downloading, and playing this mod. Hope you enjoy the mod as much as I do! Installation: run the installer [TSLPatcher.exe] and then hit the [Install Mod ->] button. Uninstallation: replace the installed files with what was stored inside the generated 'Backup' folder. Particularly tat_m18aa.mod; put that file back to 'modules' folder manually and overwrite when prompted. To uninstall the Voice Over simply put back its backup to streamwaves \ m18ab \ 10wi06 folder - overwrite when prompted. Compatibility: will be compatible with mostly anything, including jc2's "Kill Marlena" - just make sure to install this mod after every mods has. Though haven't being tested with Kainzorus Prime's "[KotOR] NPC Overhaul Mod" and N-DReW25's "K1 Gameplay Improvement" installed, presumably they'll be compatible. But be advised that compatibility issue of this mod working along with them is not yet confirmed. Will not be compatible with any mods that force-overrides tat_m18aa.mod or messing with this mod 2DA entries. For this mod to be effective you should at least load a saved game before entering the Dune Sea - Tatooine [tat_m18aa] module This mod is play-tested with KotOR 1 Restoration/K1R installed and is compatible with them Redistribution: I'm asking you not to redistribute this mod - I'd like to stay in touch with them so I know where to provide support. If you are to re-use an assets to a project you will be releasing, you don't have to ask for permission - but your generous intention is very much welcome.

Salk 365 Posted April 9, 2019 Hello, my friend! And congratulations for yet another legendary entry to the Legends series (I am still eagerly awaiting your Dantooine improvements 😊). I just wanted to ask you something about the blaster you said you gave her. Like in your own video above, even in my case she doesn't seem like she is wielding any. Was it intended to be only used if you have jc's mod "Kill Marlena" too? And also a question about the new position. Is it possibly a very subtle difference, possibly in the direction she is facing? I don't recall the original being far from that very spot at all. Cheers! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hello, friend! 20 hours ago, Salk said: ...congratulations for yet another legendary entry to the Legends series (I am still eagerly awaiting your Dantooine improvements... Thanks! Much appreciated. Yeah, I admit to had been overlooked the Dantooine's development, as been spending thoughts on the playthrough lately. I'll look to revisit it when chances're arises. 20 hours ago, Salk said: ...about the blaster... she doesn't seem like she is wielding any. Thanks for the feedback! Yes, that's an oversight by design from me. I envisioned her to draw the blaster when things go hostile [with "Kill Marlena" installed] at first, but with recent test it seem she's not going hostile so the blaster only act as a looted item. Come to think of it I'm gonna make her equip the blaster by hand with the next update - I mean; it'll make much senses as she was supposedly going "hunting" from going to the desert. 20 hours ago, Salk said: Is it possibly a very subtle difference, possibly in the direction she is facing? Yes, it wasn't an extreme change like putting her on a different area or such. In vanilla she's positioned in vertical straight line from the module's [tat_m18aa] spawn point, and now with the mod installed she'll be moved for a few coordinates to the right as well as an orientation change. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebmar 893 Posted May 5, 2019 [Updated to v1.1.0: May 06, 2019] What's new? Marlena will now equip the Blaster Pistol on hand Some tweaks to the head texture Changing the texture of her clothes, which I envisioned the now version fits her more and blends much better with the ambient An additional installation targeted for v1.0.0/initial version user to make Marlena equip the blaster on hand; as designed with the v1.1.0 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavinNightBeast 2 Posted May 8, 2021 Just Wanna Clarify That The tat_m18aa File Is In Fact Compatible With The One From K1R As The TSLPatcher Skipped It As It Was Already In The Override Folder Due To K1R? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean the modules folder, right? The warning only trying to say that the patcher skip copying the module if you already have tat_m18aa.MOD in that folder, whereas if you didn't have the said file [such as a clean install] the patcher then will copy a vanilla-then-to-be-edited one taken from the mod's archive. The patching's still happening despite the warning though, so you should have nothing to worry about. But fair enough with that question, just something for you to remember. So in regard to that -- they're compatible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
