Druganator, sorry to disappoint but it is not Vandar since he died on Kattar or at the battle for the star forge.
The character is Ulon Tuain.
Its not star wars without a Yoda:D

I’m still playing with the replacement color for the orange in the uniform and the diamond shape on the hat. The uniforms are similar to Onderon’s. There is a remark made in the game about this.

Nice to see the point being addressed.

Hmmm.... the Rattak Arena... Does this mean that we could concievably become the "Ruler of Rattak" if we win all the battles? That or pick up a slave or two?

Anyway, glad to see another update.

Oh, and yep, not Star Wars without a Yoda-like-creature.

@ForeverNight- hmmm to own a slave or two...might be helpful on your journey to the dark side or release them later for light side points..
What would be more evil then.....
Take one of your slaves and offer them to fight a warrior in the arena in order to gain points with the Cauldron’s (battle arena) promoter. You see your slave get killed so you can get closer to being able to meet the Warlord. Does the ends justify the means….is this the belief of the Sith.
Or…..maybe you will give the slave a poison blade and kill the strong warrior.
So many choices…….Many moral decisions you will have to make on this world.

When this issue is discussed in the group-
“To sacrifice one slave to save the galaxy….a slave who would have died for nothing …..will now die for a cause and become something more”…..
Cain Thrall
party member(Disciple of Kreia)

Cain will not be another Kreia but he does believe in Kreia’s teachings.
If Liana your Jedi friend was the angel on the shoulder, Cain would be the devil telling you ideas which might be seem immoral in other’s eyes. He will tell you ways to influence others. He is a manipulator plain and simple but he is not your teacher. He might end up as your pupil……apprentice if you gain enough influence. I will predict that Cain will become one of the favorites in the game.

As for the idea of killing him any moment in the game, there will be moments in the game where you can kill him. I don’t want to get to involve in the details since it would lead to spoilers. :D

redrob41, I love the cybernetic eye implant for Nindo! I would say the one on the far right is my favorite so far. Keep up the amazing work!

Yeah, far right one for sure! ;)

The one to the far right is the best, as far as I see it. The eye just looks awesome in that one, kind of a Duros Terminator, which is freaking awesome :).

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.

Awhile back I was working on a Nindo Bahr with a cybernetic eye. Most people had a favourite (it was my fav as well). I finished up at least a month ago, but silly me, I forgot to post the screen shots. Well, here he is, the finished Nindo:
http://imageshack.com/a/img391/4426/nindo5zt0.jpg) http://imageshack.com/a/img391/6739/nindo6uf6.jpg)
I've given him a sparkly eye (using CM_Crystal), that looks great as he moves.

Logan23, I've got a question: As I can see, one of your main characters is a Chiss. But as I recall, the Chiss made contact with galactic civilization right before the Clone Wars and they were still quite unknown during Grand Admiral Thrawn campain. So, my question is: how did your character find himself in the middle of conflict milenia ago?
Anyway, I can't wait to play this mod.

Her name and story line haven't been finalized; I'll leave that up to the ever capable Logan ;). This is an early attempt, using some K1 clothes that I made for a different K1 mod. I'll be making completely new clothes for her later, and I'll be refering to Deliah Blue (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Deliah_Blue)'s) wardrobe a lot (I even bought a couple Legacy trade paperbacks). For the hair, I liked this picture of Natalie Portman (http://flickr.com/photos/76747220@N00/2563951187), but colored it more like Deliah.

I hadn't thought about this until now, but is there an explanation for having a Chiss?
 redrob41
08-20-2008, 4:59 PM
#269
excerpt from Wookieepedia, Chiss (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Chiss):
There is, in fact, evidence that intermittent, clandestine and low-level encounters between the Chiss and groups within the Old Republic had been ongoing for perhaps four millennia prior to the era of the Galactic Civil War; but these encounters left no visible, lasting impression on the galaxy as a whole, and the isolation of the Chiss can be gauged by the fact that they remained largely unaware of standard languages such as Huttese and Basic ...
It looks like they made a big splash on the galaxy at the time of the Clone Wars, but small encounters may have happened before then.

Now that we're on the topic, the planet Rattatak wasn't known to the galaxy either until the Clone Wars, but it will be a major planet in this mod. Perhaps similar circumstances happened there; that only small contact happened, and was later forgotten to the greater galaxy?

Well, it sounds to me like ben_skywalker is actually offering to help make a French version, not demanding one. I think that it is very considerate of Ben, as long as he is up to the challenge of translating every line of dialog that Logan writes. It would be a huge task. Maybe Logan could chat it up with Ben and see just how easy it would be.

Here is a couple of screenshots of how far I've gotten with the Rattataki. So far I've finished 7 playable males and 9 NPC male heads.
http://imageshack.com/a/img174/6228/tslpcrattatakimaleta0.jpg) http://imageshack.com/a/img511/2290/tslnpcrattatakimalekb4.jpg)
I've been having a harder time with the females. There aren't very many head models that are easily converted to look bald (in fact, so far I've only found 1, and it still has environmental lighting problems).

At any rate Logan, this should give you an idea of what various heads are available, so that you can start to plan character dialog. All the PC heads can also be used for NPC characters, and I've made 4 old and 1 ancient NPCs. All that remains now, is to mix & match up different heads with different clothes (rags, armour, basic clothes, etc.) to create different characters.
Logan, let me know if you need more male heads. I'll let you know when I've managed to make some females.

Nice job on the new screenies, Logan!

Only complaints I have about them is that the Harbinger you're currently using, the red ambient looks... slightly out of place, however, it could just be me....

Other than that, the HK-47/50 reskin.... I dunno, it just looks too... ... red? Try and throw in something else to break up the red so it looks less like a walking red thing and more like a red-droid... (Who knows, it might just look perfect ingame with the brightness set just right, it could be me!)

Other than that, it looks good... maybe tone down the blue on the Chiss guy you're using, but, that could just be my eyes deceiving me again.

Oh, whoops, didn't see the note about it not being reskinned yet, so nix the bit about the ship, sorry.

Overall, good update, Logan, hope to see more of this caliber!

EDIT: Sorry, I just saw the pictures of Uldir and the New Module

I'm impressed. This team you've put together has far surpassed my expectations, and hope you guys have many, many, many more products that look even half as good as these did!

The module was just... wow, very well done. And Uldir looks like he belongs in the game!

I agree.
Logan, I know that you're trying to make him look different (like he's an undercover agent), but the amount of red is very plain and plastic looking. Perhaps if there were some minor details in other colours (like circuit boards or button panels) to break up the monotony. He only needs to have the overall look of being red. The promo picture of Visas Marr (in the LucasForums header) is a good example of how her overall colour is red, but she has gold accents and small details as well. Plus, HK could also have several different shades of red (some maroons, reddish orange highlights, and reddish brown shadows as well) as long as they aren't too different.

Oh, and I haven't gotten much modding updates done lately. My computer needs repairs (WinXP :firemad: broke my iMac :().

I agree that HK-47/XI-52 will have the red toned down and there will be a mix of tones to give off the feeling of a red tone. Once my new computer comes in i will then work on that and many other ideas i have concerning physical appearance and special effects within the game. There will be a lot of cut scenes and movies in the game.

redrob41, I'm sorry to hear about your computer. I hope it does not take to long. I know how frustrating it feels to want to work on new artwork/projects and have a computer that just dead.

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to stop in and say hi

Everything is going well with the project.
I'm finishing up the Zeltron character's bio.

I hope to post some pics in a few days.

I thought today I will talk about the Jedi order.
In the Mod the Jedi Order is still healing. There are factions with in the Order who don't always see eye to eye with each other. The Order is still finding their place within the Republic. The Council holds the order together but there are still many systems which are not very trusting of the Jedi. Just as we have seen in kotor2 where Dantooine's public had mix views on the Jedi, this will continue in Revenge of Revan.

The PC and the fellow padawans/Jedi are the first generation of the new order. Many of them entered the Jedi Temple at the age of 2-12 years of age. You will see how these individuals deal with the Jedi teachings as they all had lives in the Republic before going down the path of a Jedi.

Hmmm....

So you mean that everybody in the galaxy will have a different reaction to you being a Jedi? Ranging from: "Jedi, die!" To "OMG! I love Jedi!" (I can't believe I typed out "OMG" I must be going nuts!)

So, any interesting side-quests to go with this? Such as: "Escape from the <InsertCriminalOrganizationHere>'s clutches......again" OR "Dantooine hates us... why?"

Should be an interesting idea, considering that in TSL it seemed that everybody hated Jedi... it got a little annoying.

~

As for the ages you entered the Temple, does this mean that the skill sets for Jedi are going to be a little more varied? Can I now be a Jedi who has a class skill of Repair?

In any case, sounds like it will add some much needed flavoring to the Star Wars (KotOR) Universe!
 logan23

Yes, there will be varied attitudes towards the Jedi.
We have to remember it has been around 12 years (kotor2: 3-4yrs plus 8 to RoR) since the Galaxy seen the Jedi Order. There is a new generation of politicians, merchants, people who grew up with little or no knowledge of the Jedi.

There is a saying which talked about how; it will take many Jedi to heal the damage reputation of the order; which was originally damaged by only one fallen Jedi.

There are a lot of side quest ideas floating around, and in time I will see which one will make it into the Mod.

There will be no real change in the class system.
You will be asked at certain moments in the game about your past; before joining the Jedi Order. You will have options on how you want to define your PC's back story.

Hmm... Sounds like a good saying, since it's especially true for Jedi.

I think that your way sounds better than mine... maybe if we figure out how to make spellcaster classes instead of just plain non-spellcasters we could vary up the Jedi's... but that's for a different thread.'

Well, hope that the Sidequests you come up with are loads better than the two that just came off the top of my head in an attempt at glib humor. (Both of which appeared to have failed miserably!)

I am Not a modder but i am trying to become one soon

I have been checking up on this forum for quite a bit and i am amazed at the progress. Personally i think it should have a new Launcher. (if not done already) And I also Think the Handmaiden should be given long hair. (i just think if she became a jedi she would stop cropping her hair. and i just like it that way) I'm not saying any of these ideas have to be used but since the project is coming along quite well why not put in a short little idea. Also since the selkath are not in K2 i see it might be hard to recreate one even though the Duros came out magnificantly. Also on the telos map change, if it was posible to change the back gorund from the windows. (i don't kow if you could.) it might look better if it didn't look so dark. The onderon maps stll look the same so a little shading or color change would make me be happy. I'm already replaying through the games twice to make sure i get all the extra content in beore the final version of Knights 3 (i know u cant actually use the name) comes out.

Just to say. Great modders make a great team. just look at ChAiNz.2da

Hey everyone!

Riot Razer, I understand your issue with Brianna changing her hair length and the only problem with that is would you recognize her. As of right now Brianna's hair will stay the same since it relates to her identity for being a warrior at heart.

The way the game will be launched has not been finalized. I have a quick way to test the game in real time as if I was launching a new game by the use of Dialogue/script.

The selkath model/skin is in the files of kotor2 so there will be no need to alter any models physically. I do plan to have some selkath appear in the game including the Bounty Hunter Prime who is a selkath (the name and character was created by RakataDark ;who was the winner of the Bounty Hunter contest)

My new computer arrives Monday which means next week I will start 3D max work as well as new blink movies and Reskinning Modules.

I have consulted some game designers at a IGDA meeting and I have decided to split the Mod into 2 acts.

What this means to everyone: You will get to play 40-50 percent of the Revenge of Revan Mod sooner. Also When Act 2 is done, it will include an update to Act 1 which will include more side quests and a few other special touches. I will be working on Act 1 and Act 2 back to back so there will be no stopping in my work schedule for the Revenge of Revan Mod.

Act I
Progress Report

Story -100%
Dialogue- 45%
Modules- 50%
Blink movies/cut scenes-33%

Wow, Logan! After some quick math it looks like you're 57% done! If this keeps up, well, Act One should be done within 6 months! Good progress!

Well, seeing as you're going to use the Selkath model, I assume that you're making Prime a pure blaster guy? If I recall correctly, the Selkath lacked melee combat animations.

Does this mean that you're going to be upping the power of blasters to make them actually competitive enough to use against NPC's in combat? Because otherwise Prime won't see much action outside of the main ship -The Sister Hawk? I can't remember- and I doubt that players want another useless character... G0T0 anybody?

Anyway, glad to see that you're still alive as well as this mod!
