Have you ever wanted to go to the ebon hawk's basement? Well now you can! I just finished up the ebon hawk basement mod. head to http://www.hosey.org/kotor) to grab yourself a copy and try it out :)

Special thanks to Prime for his great robe textures (which you can find in the basement) And to Orsen for his Jango Fett armor skin (modified version of this in the basement)

Enjoy!

Pretty cool mod. I never thought someone would put a basement on the ebon hawk. But, it is an excellent mod.

Shosey -- you know what like I best about this mod? The trickery of k_pebo_skybox.nss. Who thought of that? Very clever.

The substitution of your script for the original, then calling the original immediately afterwards with a different name. Your mod is injected in just a two-line script.

Simple. Clean. Effecient. Trickery.

thanks :)

clean is my style :)

No use taking many lines of code to do what can be done in one!

I actually saw somebody else do something similar a while back, dont remember what they were doing. But - they replaced the opener script for the ebon hawk then fired it up after their stuff was done. Which is exactly what I thought of doing - just didn't know what script to replace until I saw what they did.

Glad you likes :)


I think it might have been gameunlimited - really don't remember. At anyrate - this makes for a good way to place items on the hawk.

Shosey,
Please consider sending this mod (or a link to it) to uru (durion@voc-clan.com) to help centralize mods.

I'm sure it rocks, but it doesn't work for me. New game required?

shouldn't have to - I didn't. Just make sure all the .MOD file is in the modules folder and the rest is in the override folder. I did post one update of it on my site possibly re-download it and try again.

what exactly doesn't work?

does the elevator button appear across from the galaxy map?

is anybody else having problems with the mod not working?

M_G : Make sure your unzip program isn't extracting the file paths and creating new "modules" and "overrides" folders. That's what mine did and I thought I was going crazy.

TK thats why i always DL to my downloads\games\kotor folder and then unzip in to there before moving things across to the actual game itself

would it be easier for everybody if I repacked them without the pre specified folders?

I'd be willing to do that if its easier for everybody.

Ya I did get the extra folders, but even after unpacking them from those, it still won't work. The button doesn't show up.

Oh and can you leave a link to your site?

would it be easier for everybody if I repacked them without the pre specified folders? No keep 'em. That's the best way to ensure that people put them in the right place. I normally have path extraction off, but not this time.

there is a link at the top of the screen, but just for you http://www.hosey.org/kotor) :)

I'm not sure why the elevator button isn't showing up. If you have all the scripts in the override folder (not in a sub folder) it should show up.

Does everything else show up when you enter the hawk?

if so, this would lead me to believe that you don't have something in the right place.

I've got everything in the right place I've checked... Maybe I got sumthin interfering with it. Oh well I'll figure it out. I'm sure its a nice job though.

when I get home I can tell what file loads the mod into the hawk, then you can check out if something else is interfering with the mod.

Do you have the new holowan plugin installed, I'm not sure how it installs itself, but it may interfere.

Like I said, I'll look into it for you when I get home toinght.

ok, k_pebo_skybox.ncs is the file that launches first thing when you enter the hawk. So, if your hawk still works normally and my edited version of this file is in your override folder than I have no clue why it wont spawn the elevator control across from the galaxy map.

I guess just double check that you have everything in the correct place.

What do you expect from someone who's hiding out in the 'basement' of a stolen starship? :D

thats exactly it, I kind of wanted it to be something hard to get (if you weren't cheating of course). I didn't want it to be a cheat in itself. So they are like castoffs for the exchange or something hiding out in the basement. If you so desire - you can always cheat and use the givecredits cheat to buy the stuff. I just didn't want the stuff to be easily obtainable by default :)

are you sure you have the .mod file in the modules folder, you may of put it in override by mistake.

"I Did that and Now When i try to enter the Basement my Screen is Tottally black... I can enter my menu but i cant see the basement!"

I'm having the same problem. I select the 'Basement' option in the menu and then the screen goes black. I used to have the same problem when entering the Yavin IV station before Bioware released the updates. If anyone has a fix, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

It looks like I did not move the .mod file, as I would've sworn that I had. Once I copied the file, it worked perfectly.

Kudos for the great mod.

FYI: The elevator control disappears on the Unknown World. Thought you might like to know just in case it is a bug, rather than an intended change.

alrighty everybody - I made up a patch for the unknown world. So, if you have trouble with the elevator controls not showing up while there please go here (http://kotor.hosey.org/basement) and get your copy.

Thanks to everybody for pointing out the problem with unknown world. I know Mono_Giganto will be pleased :) at least I hope so!

Enjoy everybody!!
