@Thankteamgizka: Nope, they can't, that's called porting (Taking one game resource and using in another game) and, well, we don't talk about that much 'round here.

@Logan23:

Looks pretty good, I'd see if Uldir Tanik could get into some heavier armor, considering that he's military, but he still looks good.

Yasinda Li Anek: I don't think I can say anything bad about this... It looks very good, the tattoos seems a little too dark, almost, but it looks pretty good!

Lianna Arrel: She looks a little like Belaya from K1! Your stereotypical Jedi female look, is it just me or do her eyes say: "I'm gonna kick your arse!"?

Aria Feara: She looks pretty good, can't complain except that she looks almost like she has a mustache or, rather, a goatee. :lol: -Thanks for the clarification about species JwakJrask, I always mix those ones up!

All in all, a pretty good batch of characters you've produced!

Visas is a Miralukan.
This one is Marialan.
Like, ummmmmm, wasn't there a Marialan that was a Jedi during episode I-III?

Logan23, all I have to say is that this is turning into an amazing project. The fact that you already have videos made and are working on the stuff is beyond awesome.

I tried in the past to write a replacement script for Jedi Academy, and it was semi decent, but I completely lost interest in it. I'm glad to see you sticking with it, as I'm sure it can be really hard.

DDreamer (hopefully spelled that one right) you're hilts are amazing. Bravo.

Also, I'll admit to getting that feeling of true bliss that borders on creepiness when I saw that you are inculding Revan as a major part of the story, but even more so when I realized your are putting in HK-47. I could not have been happier!
YAYAYAY!!!!!

Keep up the amazing work!!

P.S. I WOULD LOOVE TO DO A VOICE ACT, IF YOU NEED ONE! I WILL BE GETTING A MICROPHONE FOR MY LAPTOP SOON SO I CAN RECORD TRACKS. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY EXTRA VOICES.

P.P.S. whatthehell - SORRY, BUT I COULDN'T RESIST COPYING YOUR AVATAR. I AM A HUGE FAN OF DISTURBED, AND AFTER ALL, MY NAME IS DISTURBED 1, SOOOO......YEAH.

I agree. I don't know how powerful Logan wants Tanik's armour to be, but some suggestions would be the Military Suit, Light Battle Armour, Bronzium L.B.A., and of course, the Corellian Powersuit. He is supposed to be Corellian after all.

If you want some help with the Rodian Jedi master, you might want to check out Thanatos9t's WIP (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=180073). I'm not sure how far he's gotten with it, but you might want to PM him.

Let me know if there are any other characters I can help with.

http://imageshack.com/a/img254/985/nindo3qc6.jpg) http://imageshack.com/a/img254/4100/nindo4oq9.jpg)
I took PMHB03 and moved the verts around until I got a nice Duro shaped head. This way, he'll be able to use every medium size clothing model in the game. His head is a little larger than normal humans, so when equiping headgear it will clip a little, but it doesn't look too bad. I used the basic combat suit (PMBC01) and applied the Duros space suit texture to it, and added a name bar over the front left pocket.
His face is scarred from surviving the Taris bombing; they are healed over, but as he goes to the dark side, they slowly begin opening up.
It would have been WAY too much work to edit the basic N_Duros textures to make one for every armour and robe in the game. This way, has many more advantages. The only disadvantages is that his posture doesn't match the other Duros in the game, and he has 5 digits on each hand instead of 4 like the other Duros. The original Duros in episode IV had 5 digits.

So, he should be a cool party member to run around with you :)

Hey Everyone!

redrob41, Nindo looks awesome! I look forward to seeing the other character skins, when they are done.

I will try to get a pic out tonight of Uldir Tanik in some heavy armor and.....Kelborn.

The project is going well.
I will have 6-7 modules npc layouts done by the end of the weekend.
Pics coming soon!

I know some people asked about VOs. There will be many and this will be done in late summer. I will keep you guys posted.

I will soon be needing people who can: Reskinning Modules or Scripting

Anyone interested in this, PM me :D

Thankteamgizka, on the topic of Bao-dur; He will make an appearance in the game. You will bump into him on Corellia.

In the game Kelborn will only be able to wear mandalorian armor.
I'm looking for any mandalorian fans out there that can re-skin.
My task for you who are interested, is to create some cool mandalorian armor for Kelborn to wear during the game, PM me.

Well, I made five eyes, but I only liked how these three turned out. I made some screenshots from far away, close up, and close up side shot. From left to right:
Circuit Board eye; Red Glass eye with black pupil; & Black Glass eye with Red Glow.
http://imageshack.com/a/img214/4703/wipnindoeye1su7.jpg)
http://imageshack.com/a/img168/4929/wipnindoeye2xd8.jpg)
After everyone has had a chance to look at them and let me know what they think, I'll add an Alpha channel effect. Probably baremetal on the gold lines of the circuit board. As for the glass ones, I'll have to do tests to see which is the best for them. CM_Baremetal might be too shiny, but I'll try CM_Specmap and CM_Bright. Are there any other envmaps that I can use?

So, which one do you think is the best looking?

Personally I think the far right one in the photos looks best. The far left one looks a little more organic, but the right one just seems to have more depth like an eye should IMHO. They all look great though, nice job.

Hello-and sorry for my grammatical errors XD,
I am interested in joining your modding team, if you are still recruiting.
I have some little experience with modding, but I have a lot of experience with concept art, and storyline- due the fact that I have made some storylines for several GTA total conversion mods. I have loads of imagination, a lot of free time in this summer and I also have large amounts of knowledge about the Star Wars universe.
I am an excellent researcher, and I am a passionate fan of both KotORs.
I have played a lot of Star Wars games of different type. I can be very very helpful in the militaristic aspect of the game, and I have social skills that allow me to compose elaborate dialogs.
Tho in this recruiting post, most of the time i bragged - XD - if you want to contact me you can via PM or my email, Please do not post your email address. Thanks. -RH

Thank you very much for making this mod,
The Exile

Corellia is somehow similar to Coruscant,- only that it has a more rural aspect, and the building have a more Taris aspect- and the color of the building are similar to the color of Ahto City- Manaan- so if you could add a little more blue to the buildings, and then you could light the color up, the reskinned Onderon could look exactly like Corellia.
Ow, and I must tell you, that in Corellia there are "Jedi Credits" which are more valuable and you can buy with them things otherways you can't. And Corellia is in trading partnership with the wookies on Kashyyyk.
Well, just some minor details that could be a nice add-up for the mod...

Hey Everyone,

The latest thing i have been doing is working on some of the Cut scenes where the Raptor flies to a planet.

Here is a quick test demo i did where the Raptor flys to MalachorV.
Now you will remember that MalachorV was either broken into small pieces or left in one piece. This all depends on the ending in kotor2.
This video is 80 percent done
The final will be cleaned up and have the green lighting storms in space and debris floating around as you fly to MalachorV, enjoy.

I hope to have the final as well as a few others done by the weekend.

few questions,
1. you get to choose gender and allingment of Revan and exile , Right?
2. do you chose the skin for your lightsaber.
3. Which game is the mod for?
And, an idea for the voices of revan and exile if you find them. revan should be wearing his mask and have a robotic voice. and the exile should be voiced normally. and the Hk-50s should return. just some ideas.

1. I think the genders of Revan and the Exile should stay canonized...saves a lot of time when doing other stuff like dialogue.

2. No comment really. The lightsaber still does the same thing regardless of its skin, and this game isn't a graphics revolution to be showing off stuff.

3. This is for TSL, says so in the thread title.

Voices for Revan and the Exile should be dealt with cautiously...I highly doubt everyone would be pleased with whatever Logan and his crew may come up with. Everyone would have the same opinion if there weren't any voices for those characters at all. Nobody's happy, but nobody's pissed either.

Hey everyone,


Da_man_2423, I can’t say too much about MalachorV since it will let out some spoilers.
I can say…….on MalachorV you will pickup the party member Cain Thrall.

I’m using Sony Vegas mainly to edit and create the new movies.

You will be able to choose Revan’s and Exile’s gender and alignment. I want everyone who plays the Mod to feel like that they are continuing their adventure in the Kotor universe.

You will start off with a light saber since you are a padawan but you will end up losing the light saber early on in the game’s story. I do want to let it be known you will not be spending hours trying to rebuild a light saber which was a controversial issue with kotor2. I’m working out a new system to build light sabers which will be focus around the idea of personalizing it in appearance and ability. I will tell you more in a future post.

The Voices of Revan and Exile……These two voices will no doubt be the most important VOs in the whole game. Da_Man_2423 is right….no matter how I do it, there will be those who will not like it, even if it was done by a game company..still people would find issues with it. I do have some ideas on how to handle the characters…..I won’t say until I do some tests with VO’s before I release this information.

Jedi_man, Its funny you mention about the HK-50s, I was just talking to a member of my team and we were throwing around some ideas.
Yes, there will be the return of HK-50s with new skins. Also you will find out what happen to them since kotor2’s ending.

I love getting questions from you guys, keep them coming :)

The only suggestion I can offer to you about that, is to make the change from the Ebon Hawk flying to the planet and then the actual planet landing less abrupt.

How you'd go about doing that? I have no clue.

I'd suggest doing a diagonal wipe, it feels a bit better and makes it have that "movie serial" feel.
