Thanks for the encouragement Matt and Darth and you other guys. Thanks to everyone at holowan. But, no one is going to want my mod when AE is out.
I personally doubt AE will ever come out at all. Or if it come sout it wont be anything like what MG says it will be.

Sorry for taking up everyone's time. Guess this is just a pipe dream now. If anyone wants Manaan, I'll give it to you via email. Once again I appologize for taking up everyone's time. Man, I was so excited too.


You stay.. classy holowan.

Chuck McMackin.... Out.
Keep working on your mod , AE IF it ever comes out wont be out for a long time.

Besides, everyone that join AE seems to leave pretty quickly,so thats another stroke against them.

Whoa man, you better not stop with this mod. No offense to AE, but that mod is going nowhere, insanely fast. This is already shaping up to be the coolest mod ive seen yet. I beg you not to stop with it. Please keep up the good work.

Yeah, come on keep working AE isn't going anywhere besides once you release this great modd nobody will know AE evens is there. Not only that, but AE might think you could be helpful once they see your mod being released and they might want you on there team, and you might just maybe be able to save their mod from the doom they are in right now! Come on forget about them they don't really count I would never download their mod without beating yours 5 times!

Gsccc, plz don't quit.

AE is as good as dead, they've got a few screenies but I sincerely doubt it will ever go anywhere beyond the planning stage.
Finish your mod, everyone wants it!!:)

If there are any reskins you would like done I can help you, just PM me and tell me what you need.

The people in charge of KoToR:AE are so full of themselves I believe there is a serious risk of explosion ;)

Now, make this mod or i'll sick Revan after you!!!! :D (kiddin)

99% of what the kotor ae kids claim to be making is impossible. I think they just in need of some attention.
If Kotor AE comes out one day (which I doubt greatly), as I already said in the past, we will all be dead of old age...so don't stop modding for this.

Don't worry bud, you were my inspiration a long time ago. In a forum not so far away.

BTW, If I AM going to continue this mod i need to know how to make doors and the area transitions for them. Right now manm26ae1 links to manm26ac and not manm26ac1, I am not using the origonal modules anymore because of what I said before the heartbreak. Any help here would be hot.

I can't give you a full answer right now because i'm not at home. To add new doors, extract a utc from somewhere else, customize it and place it where you want just like any other placeable.

To transit to another area, check this thread: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=130451&perpage=40&pagenumber=2)

If there is more that you want to know or if you need more detailed info, post your questions and I'll check when i get home in about an hour :)

Well if it causes lag, that would hurt users with low end systems, so the frosted weeds should probably go.

That is the first area reskin I've seen.

Tento_spear: Don't listen to GSCCC or his claims! I went to their site and saw the tutorials and there are already like 3 mods coming out for the dark side ending. [Well what I have for darkside I'm thinking of trying to find a way to have Master Vandar not die in the explosion of that republic ship by him using the force to somehow protect shield himself and then have some republic fighter ship happen to show up and save him and this ship gets past the sith onslaught and lands on this jedi planet that no one knows about. Then I plan on having Revan and Bastila taking over Manaan, Tatooine, a new planet that looks like Taris, and Korriboan. While your doing that Master Vandar is healed and he senses what you are doing so he summons a bunch of Jedi and they come attack you while your on some planet and this massive war is taking place with the republic soldiers and jedi vs. your dark jedi and sith soldiers. Then while your in some room master vander and two other jedi show up. the two jedi fight Bastila and master vander fights you. This is all I have so far, tell me what you think. Any suggestions are welcome.]If gsccc is REALLY making this mod, and we have no proof, there are still mod teams out there with a roster of more than just one guy. Not only is his mod second rate, it is redundant.

Is he correct??? Im getting that feeling again. Maybe he is right you guys, I mean, I know you guys "say" its good and dont give up, but name one good thing and unique thing about my mod. What makes it "good". This guy poses a compelling argument.

Prove him wrong! Gsccc forget him, your doing this becoz YOU want to, not becoz someone asked you, YOU WANT THIS! (and so do i, you've made too much publity for this to stop now, do not become KotOR AE! one man having a problem with your mod, so what?! ignore him, hes not even a member of Holowan, and if he were he'd get the same greetings as Grifman.( we ' fell ' out )

do this please, and stop thinking its not going to work, becoz if YOU say its not going to be done then it wont be done! think positively and you WILL complete this mod! sorry i just went hippie on you guys :) if your still feeling down LOOK BELOW:

[Force Persuade] You are happy, you will continue your mod.

[Success] Im happy :) i will continue my mod,

i'll do it, i'll do it for myself, and the ppl at Holowan!

Thank you Gsccc, i knew you'd see it my way :P :D

the UNIQUE thing about this is that someone with 60-61 posts has managed to create a mod which EVERYONE @ Holowan is interested in which doesnt happen i can tell you, ppl NORMALLY get 150 ~ 250 till they've released mods, AND theres even those who havent even regestered so just think of that, and if you ask Infinite Empire im positive someone if not the whole team will come and give you ideas or some of our time to create some unique items (weapons, custom items, and all that) WE ALL want to use your mod becoz it hasn't been done before, AGAIN PLEASE JUST IGNORE HIM, CREATE THE MOD THEN SEE HOW MANY PPL DOWNLOAD THE MOD, then you can see if ppl will like / dislike your mod, and i doubt if you put a very decriptive description, this will be as popular as the Sith Armarda mod, IF not better! :)

MattCole

PS please just ignore what this person has said, create the mod, release it on PCGMs or Infinite Empires Web Site, whatever you decide

What makes yours unique..

Youve shown us progress shots.

You havent been "working' on it for months and months and months.

Your actually getting somewhere with your mod.

You seem really enfused about working on it. (Well till you read the AE thread ;) )

Your asking Q's and doing lots of work.

So far the other mods for the DS ending have gotten no where , last i heard for one of them was litterally MONTHS ago. No updates , no screenies , nothing.

You are doing this all by yourself and have realistic plans and some experience in coding , skinning and editting.

Good morining people at holowan, Manaan is almost complete, I have the entrence and the Selkath Court left, both which have very few npcs. Oh right, and if anyone thinks I am leaving *now*, no. I have done too much strived too far. According to some people I was the first person to make a retexture. And Darth Dex that was my exact idea. You will also see sleharon[pardon the spelling]. But what I am most proud of is the fact that you dont need any "miracles" for it to work. Like Master Vendar just happening to escape the insineration of the explosion. But the cool thing is, Carth has set up a base somewhere and is attracting rebels, yes they are rebels now because we are the republic and you have to check around for answers, between completely dominating the once neutral planet Manaan, and Invading the poor planet of Telos [Taris Night time(never used)] You find yourself proving once again that the might of Darth Revan is endless. Should I have the last level as the Rebel Battleship or should I have it as the rebel base?

24 hours...is that what you call "a while"? I have a life outside this and i work full time so don't expect me to be there 24/24 hours. Do what you think you can do. Making a single new planet is a lot of work: placeables, dialogs, triggers, coding, etc... Just make sure you don't see too big...

Just one thing, you do know that by retexturing the files for that module you're retexturing dantooine, you cant do a seperate texture for a new module that that of the original, therefore dantooine would be a 'hoth like' planet aswell. And you cant just edit dantooine, as you couldnt get to all the other planets without it.

Anyway, apart from that, your mod looks good, cant wait to see it done :)

MattCole

Dont worry my plans are not destroyed. And listen you all seem to be forgeting one major thing I have said over and over agian this is an AFTER GAME mod so you wont be going to dantooine for jedi trianing. You install the mod, after you have at least gotten to right before malak cuz you cant save after malak. Then when you load the latest save, warp to ebon hawk and travel. There will be no jedi training there will be no dantooine. I mean no offence to the critisism but please understand this. If the person wants to start a new game he/she can simply uninstall the mod. It is as simple as that. And to add to the misconseption it is not hot but rather a hothlike planet.

PS: I dont mean this in any harm or anything but to Darth333 I realise you do have a life but I hope when you said that you didnt imply that *I* had no life, for I do too, I just work on a computer being a game designer for CRITTERS INC. Once again no offence.
