hi this is my first real mod it is based on envida's smugglers compartment mod. it adds 2 hidden compartments in the cargo hold that contain the 2 hk-47 parts and the 2 lightsaber parts with some power crystals needed after you leave telos. to unlock the compartments ask t3-m4 about the hk droid in the cargo bay to get the key. the lightsaber parts will update your quest so when you ask bao-dur you can build your saber. also added a container next to the workbench with 1000 components in it.

EDIT: updated the site so it is now compatible with USM and if you already have Envida's mod installed

EDIT: re wrote entire mod so there should be no more bugs now.

having trouble uploading to pcgamemods so i threw a quick site together to host it.

I see you have updated your mod to make it compatible with the USM. Awesome.

Hey, there are some bugs I thought you would like to know about.

Bug #1 - T3 does not give me a key to the compartment

Bug #2 - I can open the compartments by attacking it. The problem is when you open it up, the items keep spawning and the lightsaber quest completes when you get the last piece. However it doesn't give you a lightsaber. So you can't talk to Bao-Dur about the completion of your lightsaber quest. You can attack the compartments again to reopen them and they will respawn the parts you put in them, and it gives you random lightsabers like you would get in other areas of the game after you completed your lightsaber quest. It also respawns the HK-47 parts and the lightsaber crystals you have in the other container.

But #3 - THE BIGGEST BUG OF THEM ALL. When you do the mission when the Red Eclipse invades the Ebon Hawk, it crashes my computer big time. I thought the first time it was a fluke thing. One thing I realize is that when crashes on your computer happen at the exact place more than once, it's not a coincidence. I took the files out and played it out against the Red Eclipse and it didn't crash trying to enter the Ebon Hawk.

Your mod idea is awesome. You just need to do more testing and editing is all.

If there is work needed to be done in the T3 and Bao-Dur dialogue files. Let me know because I have the spelling corrections in them. When the USM was made, the added dialogue had several spelling and grammar corrections needed to be made that I did. When you did your mod and added the new dialogue from the USM, I had to go through and redue the corrections in Bao-Dur and T3. So if there is work needed to be done in them again, I'll send you my files with the corrections via email so I don't have to go through and edit those again.

(FIXED)

( FIXED THE COMPARTMENTS TO SPAWN ONLY AFTER YOU GET THE KEY FROM T3-M4)

But #3 - THE BIGGEST BUG OF THEM ALL. When you do the mission when the Red Eclipse invades the Ebon Hawk, it crashes my computer big time. I thought the first time it was a fluke thing.

(REMOVED THE PLASTIC CRATE SO THERE IS NO NEED TO RUN THE ENTER SCRIPT, NO MORE CRASHES NOW.)

ok sorry about all the bugs.

I re wrote the entire mod to run from dialogue files instead of the ebonhawk enter scripts, this way it no longer crashes when the red eclipse enter, also moved some containers around so it will not interfere with envida's mods.

also i fixed the hidden containers to only spawn the items once, so it will not respawn multiple sabers now.(they are no longer bashable)

fixed t3-m4 dialogue so the option to ask about the hk droid will only appear after you leave the telos base, and changed the influence needed to 40 or better should make it easier to get the key when it is time.

if you are starting a new game copy all files to override folder except baodursaber.dlg, if you have a game in progress copy all files to override folder.

please leve me some feedback if you like this or if there are any more problems. hope you all enjoy.

You put them in your override folder, which is by default (unless you installed the game in another location) in the Lucas Arts/SWKotOR2 folders path. If you don't have an override folder in that location, just create a new folder and name it "override" (without the quotes). :)

I pointed out the override folder with the red arrow, and the directory where the override folder is, or where to create it with the blue arrow.

firestone10 it does not skip the red eclipse they load just fine i am working on only getting the key once. as for juhani's lightsaber it worked for me just fine i will try to recreate it to see if it is something i did. the only thing i changed for t3-m4 dialogue was when you ask him about the hk droid. but i will try to fix it.

ok i fixed the problem with the key spawning twice but i can not recreate the problem with juhani's lightsaber it works everytime i try it. were you able to get them before you installed my mod. i know the only conditions for juhani's saber is that your lightsaber is built and you need to have better than 85 influence with t3-m4.
