*chuckles* Ahh ChAiNz - your "nomme de guerre" would reflect what, in my old parlance, would be called a "S/switch" - meaning at times (and your moods) you are dominate, and at other timess, submissive/passive in nature:-) *chuckles again*

And I've bookmarked this thread so's I don't miss it for my next report - in which I shall be certain to give some little welcome to Darth Omeggacron:-)

:lol: yup, I am confused, but apparently I'm not alone ;)

The WIP link you posted is for a different 'Chains' hehehe..... or is it? maybe it's a conspiracy to confuse everyone? :dev11: muwahahaha!

ummm..nope no conspiracy ..haha? funny?....hello?

Thanks for the 'gifted' comment! :D

I'd blush but I'm at work and everyone would call me a sissy boy, push me around and take my lunch credits... Oh wait!...editors don't get breaks...silly me :rolleyes:

Thanks for the mention CDRSeadog! I'm grateful!

I'll make a small mention of your website/mods, Prime - insofar as your Clone StormTroopers mod - I had already mentioned it in my long "catch-up" Holowan report done on the 11th of December (it's the first mod mentioned in the last paragraph:-)

Just thought I'd let everyone know that - rather than do a Holowan Laboratories report today - I'm saving my report for tomorrow morning - Christmas Day - which is (traditionally) a very slow day for any kind of gaming/mod reporting:-)

Additionally - though it's not much - you may want to check out the Holiday Wishes I plan to post tomorrow - one for RPGDot, and one for AdventureDot.

BTW - please feel free to e-mail me should any of you have other mods/mod news, etc that is either really hard to pinpoint here at the Holowan and/or isn't a part of the downloads at PCGameMods...

Merry Christmas to all!!!

Another Holowan report concluded this AM - the following modders (and their respective mods, of course) made this Christmas edition...

(1) The Team of Svosh & T7Nowhere for their Cheesy XMas Pack"

(2) The Team of Xavier2/Bneezy/[STGN] Locutus/Mono_Giganto (with help from tk-102 & the lady Darth333).

(3) tk-102

(4) Mono_Giganto

(5) Darkender was given credit for being kind enough to post Seprithroh's "New Weapons Pack"

(6) Chains

(7) DigitalMetal

(8) Deathdisco

(9) Sirus

I did note that the KotOR "Mod of the Week" seems to have (perhaps) changed to the "Mod of the Month"???

May all the best of the holiday's blessings be with you and yours on this holy day:-)

ACK!! :eek: wrong ChAiNz Chains CDR!!

There's another modder here at Holowan whose username is "Chains" (with an 's' not a 'Z') and it was his Gus Kenobi Saber Mod...

I've since changed my username last week to "ChAiNz.2da" in hopes we (Chains and myself) don't get ourselves confused ;) heheh

Just thought I'd let you know that it's Chains that gets the credit for his hardwork (and good mod BTW)....

(I've been lying low on modding for awhile...just playin' around with .2da 'support' till TSL is released for PC)

What's scary is, I actually went to RPGDot to check and see what I had released. It wasn't until I saw the name of the mod when I realized..."Hey wait a minute, I didn't create anything this week...did I?" ... :lol: :nut:

Actually you did ChAiNz.2da . You provided a merged .2da file for Xavier2's addition to the MECK project Here on page 2 (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=141705&perpage=40&pagenumber=2) :D

Being as your A unofficial Member of MECK you do that work and aren't getting the credit or giving it to yourself.:cool:

Well yeah, but I like to think of it as Community Support rather than being part of the actual mod(s), but in [MECK]'s defense, Prime gave me 'glowing' reviews (credits) in his comments at pcgamemods and on his own website....that and Xavier2 has expressed his thanks many times over.

It's the least I could do for Holowan, now that I know enough to give back some of the massive support I received (and still do) when I first started modding :D I'm just glad I could help.

wow... that was over 2-1/2 months ago. Time flies when you're going senile :spin:

You are always welcomed, Svosh - as you know by now it is always my pleasure...and I hope that your Christmas celebrations were the best as well for yourself, and yours:-)

*chuckles@ChAiNz* Well, I still managed to get the correct "Chains" in my report after all - thanks to you for your astute observation.

Incidentally - I rather suspect KotOR mods here at the Holowan are on a small decline for awhile - at least (I suspect) until the release of the PC version of KotOR 2 (something I've pre-ordered myself)...nevertheless, I shall continue to check in from time to time to see if enough accumulative mods/mod tools/mod upgrades and/or mod news warrant a "Holowan Report"!!

Till next reporting - take care all!! And if I do not see (or mention in a report) any of you beforehand - I wish you all a Happy (and safe) New Year.

Hehe :D The mod of the week page should be updated retroactively sometime this week. I've been quite busy on the TSL forums, watching for spoiler tags (and playing TSL ;) ) and t7 also has been busy.

In the meantime, you can enjoy our new seasonal screenshot: http://www.starwarsknights.com/view.php?screen=screenshots/Xmas_wishes.jpg) :D

NP, lady Darth333 - I had read somewhere else that you were quite busy with TSL - even though I just recently invested in an Xbox (and a whole bunch of games as well), and am investing in a PS2 after the New Year (and a whole bunch of games as well - after I buy my CIC a new car, that is:-)...

I'm awaiting the PC version of TSL - both for the better playing pleasure, and for the modding.

BTW - reason I mentioned the Xbox & PS2 was simply my way of saying I'm expanding my game reporting horizons by trying to develope some skill in systems whose RPG games we report on anyway.

Ummm - and I did like the screenie:-)

Hey CDRSeadog I figured it might be worth mentioning before you release your next Holowan Report that there are a few new mods that have been released that are not at pcgamemods.com

supersquall has released his Chrono Mod 1.0--A chrono trigger version jedi robes. This is released at his site.

madog has released his recruitable Rancor that replaces HK-47. This has been uploaded to lucasfiles.com as of yet they have not actually posted it as available for download.

PartyLizardJedi has released a recruit republic soldier mod at his site as well.

I figure any little bit counts in helping our favorite publicist out so that he doesn't miss the people who can use some credit.

Also please note While I uploaded another patched version of the Jabba Palace Mod I would not consider it worth re-mentioning in your next Holowan report. As I had just flubbed on the first upload by uploading the wrong archive by accident.

*chuckles* Never a problem, my friend - and get used to it you might as well - just because KotOR 2 will be out in a few more weeks doesn't mean I will drop any new Kotor mods. Quite the opposite - as I see the Holowan Laboratories as being (once again) the leaders in KotOR modding when KotOR 2 is released:-)

So I think I'll still be around the Holowan for some little time left to come. I might even try my hand at modding it - especially as my comprehension of Xbox modding isn't even worth mentioning *chuckles again*

Speaking of which - I'd better quit chatting and get to researching - I did promise to have my Star Wars KotOR 2: The Sith Lords (Xbox) review completed by the end of the weekend:-)
 CDRSeadog

For those who may wonder - I recently expanded my gaming experiences to include the Xbox and PS2.

And while I am also awaiting my pre-ordered copy of KotOR 2 for the PC - I did break down and get the Xbox version - and even worse - did my first ever Xbox game review of it (i.e. in case I lost anyone) my review of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords.

I sent the final copy in to my own Editor-In-Chief - which means, for any that might be interested - it should be posted on RPGDot sometime late Monday/Tuesday afternoon:-)

Ummm - that depends, Darkender *chuckles*

You see, I started out my RPGDot reporting with a lot of creativity - which was something our readers were just NOT into *chuckles again* They want news and newsbit done in a more-or-less bland style, without a lot of extra.

However, I've always enjoyed creative writing - though, throughout most of my life, I've limited my creative works to free verse poetry and musical compositions on a purely personal basis (meaning I've never had a desire to publish).

I've discovered that I do have a creative penchant for writing gaming reviews - something my Editor-In-Chief is delighted to discover as well. And while my readers want their news bland - they do seem to enjoy the creativity I try to put in each and every review I write:-)

For those that think my reviews tend to be much more positive than negative - that is because I believe there are two distinctly types of "reviewers" - actual reviewers, and critics. I pride myself in being much more of a reviewer than a critic:-)

Never a problem Maverick187...Darth333...Darkkender:-)

BTW - I forgot to make my report to the Holowan re my newsbits of last Saturday the 19th over at RPGDot only (I'm still not totally sure why they didn't post over on our KotOR website) - anyway, this was part 1 of a two part series of Holowan Laboratories reports I intended to do to catch up on everything I had missed:-)

For Saturday's report - the following Mod Engineers (and their respective mods & modsites) for KotOR 2 were featured:

(1) RedHawke

(2) Darth333

(3) TK102 :-)

(4) Cchargin

(5) Achilles

(6) Darkkender

(7) Shimaon

(8) Liquidthex

(9) MacLeodCorp

Then today - I just finished up part 2 of my Holowan Laboratories report - with the following Mod Engineers (and their respective mods as I could find only at PCGameMods) were featured:

(1) Mar Komus

(2) Dark Jedi

(3) :USA:Hefe(I)

(4) MacLeodCorp

(5) Allronix

(6) Masterchief2491

(7) Maverick187

(8) Kampher

(9) Xcom

(10) GotGoose

(11) Illuzion69


Hopefully I've now caught up with everyone - if not, then my apology - but I've only so much time in which I can dedicate to any one report, and I can dedicate only so much reporting space to any one report over at RPGDot - if I deviate from my editorial guidelines, then the readers are unhappy. Cest le vie.

It seems Envida got missed. I know this is going to be tough keeping track of various mod engineers for TSL for awhile as many are afraid of posting at pcgamemods untill there is a TSL section there. I will try to lend a helkping hand where I can.

Hi CDRSeadog,

Thanks for the mention at RPGDot.

There is 1 correction that needs to be made though. I have not released MDLOps for Kotor 2 yet.

I am surprised that I caught this before my PM box got jammed with messages telling me that MDLOps is broken. :)
