==========================================
Quest for tk102's birthday (February 4)
By Darth333 & al.

New Models by: svцsh (hv88 blasters), Seprithro (blaster model), t7nowhere (saber models + birthday cake)


Download: http://www.pcgamemods.com/10110/) ...and a small patch in this post: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=1748548#post1748548)

============================================
WARNING: Do not warp from the Endar Spire. Get at least to Taris or this mod won't work as I re-used a global from the Endar Spire! warping from Taris to Tatoine is fine...just raise your stats ;)


This is a side quest in which you have to find some items required for the preparation of tk102's birthday. The quest spans over three planets and includes new areas and many hard ennemies (for cheaters or high lvl characters only!)

To begin the mission, go to the swoop registration office in Tatoine and listen carefully. (Do not warp to the new areas: you'll get stuck.)

Explore the various dialogue options as they can sometimes lead you to different solutions and items. But remember, if you disobey my orders, you better travel around well armed!
And if you speak badly of some people, expect to gain DS points! Some doors maybe locked, it's up to you to discover how to open them...

(Note: once you have unlocked the door in Dreshdae, to enter, look down, just in front of the door. The "lock" is placed a little low )

Some of the dialogues in this mod will make more sense if you are a regular member of Holowan labs. In any event, I suggest you play Doom_Dealer's Holowspire mod (available here: http://www.pcgamemods.com/5453) to fully understand the dialogue with Doom_Dealer.


Many members of LucasForums, mainly from Holowan labs, make at least cameo appreances in this mod:

tk102
svцsh
T7nowhere
Prime
Boba Rhett (da boss man)
Doom_Dealer
Achilles (sorry Achilles but I couldn't give you Malak's appearance :D )
REdhawke
Tanesh
Fred Tetra
ChAiNz.2da
Xavier2
CDRSeadog
Darkkender
Mono_Gignato
FiEND_138 and his band
Seprithro
cchargin (try to find him - I was inspired by his avatar :p)

Unfortunately, tk102's birthday is on February 4th and due to this "deadline" I couldn't include more people although I wanted to.

You'll find svцsh's blaster on Doom_Dealer, Seprithro and t7 carry their own items.


I would have like to make more balanced ennemies but due to time contraints it was impossible. If an interest is shown, i could turn this mod into a "more serious" smuggling mission.

=========================================

Holy @*%#!!! This is so cool! Thank you! You are great friends to do this. :D :D

Edit: Finally played through the whole thing this afternoon. It's a very side quest Darth333 in its own right. You should be happy with the great work you did.

Thank you again! And to everybody else in Holowan, thank you for all your birthday wishes! I had a great day.

Woah, this is the coolest thing ever! :eek:



I can't believe I still haven't bought the PC version of Knights. :o I may go try and pick it up tomorrow and try this out!


Oh man, I almost forgot, Happy Birthday, tk102!


*hands tk102 a birthday gift basket and an elf*

The Elf's name is Skittles ad he enjoys holding his breath and befouling things. Enjoy! :rhett:

Awesome job on an awesome mod Darth333, and of course happy birthday to tk102, you have definetly been one of the more helpful people here and where would I be without KSE and all the rest of your various tools, thank you tk and I wish you a very happy birthday.

Sweet it's released!...now I can confess :lol:

Hey tk, thanks to Darth333, she pointed out to me it was going to be your birthday. I didn't want to say anything because I knew this was coming, and I just wanted to see your reaction (this sure beats my avatar huh? ;) ) hehehe

:rock: :emodanc: Happy Birthday tk102!! :sbdance :cheers:

and Darth333 (and everyone involved), this looks fantastic, can't wait to play this!! I guess we all get to celebrate with tk :D

OK, so who brought the paddles, and who gets to give the first 'swat' to the birthday boy ;)

Does it have to be the 1st time to Tattooine for the mod to work?

No, you can go to tatoine at any time during the game to start this quest.



BTW, replace the module d3_party.mod by this file: (adds cchargin and corrects the dlg with ChAiNz.2da and the cake.).

So that's what you have been doing Darth333! :)

Very nice idea, sort of like a SW KOTOR treasure hunt...

And happy b-day tk102! :D

:gift: :cheers:

well, congrats!!!

umm, considering your b-day is, well, umm, over by 21 min, i guess you'll have to consider this (http://gallery.spacebar.org/images/misc/birthday.jpg) as a belated present.

anyway, hope you enjoy it. :D

I do not have any present to offer, but it is the gesture which is important, no ?

This is just a fun mod. You guys did a great job on this! Happy birthday TK, sorry I am a bit late! :D

I have got to try this today, great work Darth333.

And happy birthday TK!

Well I will say this here as well Very good job Darth333. Since I wasn't aware of it yesterday I will wish you a belated Happy Birthday TK102. So was the boss man nice enough to give you a day or 2 off here at the boards.

Very very nice!!! And happy birthday!

Happy birthday Tk102! And, also, a AWESOME mod, Darth333! Sorry i'm late! Hehe! P.s. That's cool, mine and yours is only two days apart! Mines tommorow, YAY!:D :bday2:

Ok I finally got to play it, and I'm glad you finally found a way to use that area. That Pazaak player still cracks me up. :) A strange thing happend on my way to the party though.

For a split second Bastila appeared and was surrounded in a red cloud and she said something like "what, whats going on" then it cut to the landing scene.

It seemed abrupt though and I thought maybe it had something to do with the fact that Bastila was no longer part of my group.

Also an odd bug occured when I went to the czerka office. I had Mission in my party abd the little rodian would only talk about griff and nothing else. as soon as I sent her back to the hawk everything was fine.

I know you said this a Joke Mod, but you still did a great job. :)

A strange thing happend on my way to the party though. That happened for me too, but you can still get enjoyment out of it if you read the dialog in the Feedback screen.

Ah! Crap! :mad: That was supposed to be a cutscene. I donиt know what happened: when I tested it it was ok but I just noticed that Carth disappeared when I removed the sound for his dialogue :(

in short, he says the Ebon Hawk is on fire because of the candles! Good thing you purchased insurance :D

Let me know when you manage to work out the patch. I for one would love to see this.

Happy belated birthday, partner. Sorry I didn't do it sooner, but I haven't had access to the Net. :)

Can't wait to get home and try this out...

I'm sorry about bringing this old thread to the front again, but I've just downloaded the mod, and I cant seem to get the pazaak player to work properly. When I say I want to play for his authorization, It just ends the dialog. After I play him (or her, I can't really tell) once, whenever I try to talk again, it just ends the dialog. :confused:

Are you talking about Achilles? I tested it and it works for me :confused:

The dialogue is actually pretty simple:
NPC: Hello there!
Player: (blank)
NPC: Are you ready for a game of Pazaak?
Player:
-> Sure, let's play! ->starts pazaak
-> No thanks -> exits dialogue.

Note that this mod was made for a specific occasion and I had very little time to release it and couldn't polish it as much as I would have wanted to.

This mod brings back great memories.

Very much so Tk , A very nice surprise and i was touched that my friends would do this for Colja’s and my birthday. Just Shows what kind of great people they are :)

svцsh

No, it was the guy who goes on about you being a lab tech in the Czerka facility. I would have been more specific if I had known there was another. Sorry.:)

oh that "guy" :D I have to check when I get home.

..and tk, svosh: it was as much fun to do for you guys :D

Thanks. :)

Oh, also I read the link on editing global.jrl, but I don't really understand how to make the mod compatible with RedHawke's ord mandell mod. Does the self-unzipping .exe file automatically overwrite your version? Sorry, I am a complete and utter noob. :)

If you want an easy solution, What you can do is rename Redhawke's file to keep it in your override folder and install this one. Once you are done with my mod, delete the file (or rename it to something else) and put back Redhawke's. (note: don't do this with other .2da files such as spells.2da or appearance.2da unless you have a specific reason for doing so: the mods will stop working)

Happy Birthday, tk.

<edit>

oops..

well, better late than never. :D :o :p

That's odd, because it didn't do that.

What if I want to keep the birthday mod?

Thanks for the help, I hope I find out what's wrong with the pazaak "guy".

Originally posted by Liverandbacon

Then you will have to "merge" the two global.jrl files from my mod(s) and Darth333's birthday mod with a GFF Editor. :D

<stupid noob question> How do I do that? </stupid noob question>

LIke this: http://lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=143372) ;) Unfortunately, there's no way to automatically merge them :o but it's the best way to learn :p

I coulnd't check the pazaak player thing yesterday. I'll be able to do it tonight.

Thanks, I think I understand, I just copy and paste the bit about your quest into RedHawke's global.jrl file, rename it, and then I'm done, right?

I talked to everyone in the tatoine swoop place and they are all just ravcers, nothing happened

What contents of the mod did you extract? Are there many files or a single file with the .rar extension?

I extracted override to override and modules to modules

If you already had been in the module with the edited characters/diaglogue/whatever it won't work because its been pre-loaded.

Try a savegame before then and see if that helps ;)

No, it will work even if the area has been loaded before as it is fired with a script when you enter the area.

In order to fire the script, you must have done the Endar Spire and not warp to Tatoine from the beginning of the game as the script reuses a global from there (I didn't wanted to edit globalcat.2da in order not to create compatibility issues). You can warp to Tatoine from Taris however or set the Global variable End_TraskTalk to 1 with KSE.

Someone should greet you on Tatoine when you enter the Swoop racing area.

try reinstalling and make sure there are no subfolders inside your override folder.

Note that this is a joke mod so don't take anything seriously ;)

is there another link to download this mod that is not at pcgamemods.com i would like to play this mod.

Here ya' go! :D
