well i have Nihilus reskinned will that be a problem cause in the trailer i saw him

and i have coruscant jedi temple planet by- death disco

well i have Nihilus reskinned will that be a problem cause in the trailer i saw him


This one probably will be a problem I'm afraid. It isn't anything too dramatic, but I have my own reskin of Nihilus used in this, mainly making his mask look a little more worn and cracked. I you really prefere the one you use though, you can just replace mine in the override folder.



also have the ebon hawk re-skinned to my own personal liking of gloss black


This one should be fine. For the modules where the Ebon Hawk features, I haven't done anything to change the appearance.



and i have coruscant jedi temple planet by- death disco

This one definitely won't. If nothing else, I have my own version of Coruscant in this.

Or, you could include a list of the mods that you 'know' are compatible.

Some modders do that.

Very true. It might be a bit too much hassle to hunt down every mod and say whether or not it's compatible, but at the very least I can go through the top fifty or so from kotorfiles and include the info in a readme.

final questions
how will kse be effected
as well as ingame cheats from the console
(yes i have the invisible console active)

and i used these files to edit Nihilus did you use the same

Yeah, they should work the same. can't see an obvious problem.


N_darthnihA

Same ones I used. If you still want to use yours, then re-install the mod after you've installed mine and say yes when the computer asks if you want to replace the existing files.

okay now i just wait for release :)

WIP update. (http://www.d-ex-d.com/WIP.html) :)

And to celebrate, here's a brand new full length trailer:

youtube link for people who prefer : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxkFkgNM6RI)

This of course means that Beta testing will now begin. Hopefully there won't be too many issues as I've tried to sort out any known problems as I've went along. If there turns out to be many I'll add a bug counter page so people can keep track.

I still have 12 out of 31 FMV sequences to do (I have 'temp' ones, but want to make better versions), as well as some sound files, but they shouldn't be a problem.

Couple of things to note ; despite an earlier statement, I've decided to remove Haazen from the game and replace him with Thon. Anyone keeping track his character in the comics will probably know why.

I can also now say that the mod will be around 700mb in size.

is it possible you can break it up for us with slow internet
when the final release comes out
----
also have beta testers already been set
or are you the only one testing it

also on another note that trailer

that trailer ending

Death Star like thing i love it makes me think thats were sidious got the idea

is it possible you can break it up for us with slow internet
when the final release comes out


Absolutely. As someone who was burdened with with a 56k up until about this time last year, I fully sympathize with anyone with a slower connection. I'll upload it in various sizes, from one massive chunk to 20mb segments.


also have beta testers already been set
or are you the only one testing it

For now it's just me. Basically, I'll see how the first full playthrough goes and then decide if I need any help.

glad to hear it
i look forward to the release cant wait to play

already got my party hk and canderous
like always lol

How big is the mod anyway?

I believe Trex said it would be around 700mb.

:O
Whoa.
That's pretty big, but given the mod's depth, I'd still download it.
Watched the trailer, and it was so awesome! The dialog is amazing.
Could you offer the DL in a torrent, Trex?

Some of the screens in the video were so dark that it was near impossible to make anything out in them. An overabundance of red perhaps?

Also, some of those skins for the planets appeared a bit - er - busy. Any chance of you toning any of those down for the final release?

I'll see what I can do, although I should point out that it's 700mb uncompressed. I think in zip format the whole thing may go down to around 300mb.

Ah, but if they were bright you'd be able to properly see what the 'true sith' look like, and that would spoil the surprise wouldn't it. :)

I take take it you mean the ones that look like this :

For the droid moon in the mod I think I was aiming for something in the style of a borg ship. I agree that some of the cables are a little all over the place though, so I think I'll probably have a quick re-style some night.

How would you access this mod? I would like if it would be possible to have a separate client for this mod other than the KotOR 2 clients as I would like to be able to play all 3 games at once instead of having to uninstall this mod and than install it again. And its 20 years after KotOR 2... Thats seems quite along time considering Revan would be either 50 or 60. Not to mention other characters would be dead... If Jolee was in it he would be like 80-90, Bastila would be around the same age as Revan and Carth would be a little bit older. And IN the trailer I see Nihilus' model what plans do have for him/it/whatever the model is being used for.

actually it is very easy to do that ill guide you so you know

1. copy the entire Kotor TSl folder to the desktop or documents or wherever you want to place it
(note the word copy)

2.uninstall the game (run the uninstall wizard from the uninstall programs or however you uninstall things)

3. once the uninstall is done go into the c drive find the lucas folder, Kotor Tsl
and then clear out everything that was left (this will most likely be things in the override or thing dealing with other mods)
(note vista users like me may need to access the virtual storefront to delete some files after uninstall)

5. Reinstall the game to its normal drive(area somewhere in c)
then install this awesome mod Jedi masters to the one with no mods and nothing but the original mod (this will make sure that the mod works with no compatibility issues

Finaly if you so desire make shortcuts from both the orignal that you copied where ever and the modded jedi master one to the desktop
and now you have both one orignal blasted with all sorts of mods
and one with all the awesomeness that is to be Jedi Masters

and to answer some of one of you questions go through the entire topic it was talked about what happened to nihlus
as for others age is a iffy line lets just say everyone works out regularly, you know dealing with the sith is a hard days work lol ,but it keeps them in shape

Awesome trailer, but the "something Sith tell they're children as they go to bed" line, seems a bit.. Dodgy..

Still brilliant though. :)

Couldn't I just make a whole override folder for this mod and switch it out with my other one when I want to? :confused:

And its 20 years after KotOR 2... Thats seems quite along time considering Revan would be either 50 or 60.

Yep, that's about right. Likewise for bastila. There's a quick shot of an old gray bearded Carth in the trailer if you watch for it.

If Jolee was in it he would be like 80-90

Alas, no Jolee in this. None of his files are in the KOTOR2 game, so i decided not to use him. But yes, I'd hate to think what age he would be. Canderous must be a high age now as well, but he's a Mandaloian warrior. Doubt he'd let a silly little thing like age slow him down. :)

And IN the trailer I see Nihilus' model what plans do have for him/it/whatever the model is being used for.

Ah, now that would be telling.

Couldn't I just make a whole override folder for this mod and switch it out with my other one when I want to? :confused:

This is pretty much exactly what I do.

Just drag your old Override folder onto the desktop or somewhere it's safe. After you've installed this and want to play normally, just switch the two folders around again. Easy. :)

Good! Easy is good! I like easy! :D

Dont we need to edit the modules so wouldnt we need to back up that as well
(the modules folder)

Depends if those are new modules, or reskined modules from TSL. If it's just a reskin - you don't need to touch Modules folder.
Anyway, the mod looks great on presentet trailer. If it's the same in-game, you are a genius, Trex.
I have one question: is the last shot of the trailer showing Nihilus destroying a planet?

I'm curious about the HK droid with lightsabers.

Even if there are only reskins, he need to edit at least one module, where you start normal game, and put there his stuff. I don't think there's any way to start game in custom module.
New trailer is great. Love it, just love it ;)

I just got a question. How long will it take to play entire mod? Is it long as TSL, or maybe longer (it would require A LOT work, I know, but you did a lot of work already so perphaps...)? Just curious.

They look like droids Vader trained with in Shadows of the Empire.

But it's easier to get it back to normal TSL this way : )

I guess it has been said the mod is about 16 hours. But im' also curious if it's only mail plot, or main plot with subquests...

Ah, good point. Forgot about that.

See I actually use myPocket plane mod. (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=189949) whether I'm playing TJM or as normal, then load it up from there. So yes, you would have to remove some of the modules instead.

If it helps, I will be releasing this as an installing/uninstalling exe file. If you want to switch them around, just uninstall. The save games won't be altered, so if you want to reinstall again, you can and just pick up where you left off.

This is partly what the Beta testing is for, so I'll make sure it works over the next week some time.

Another way might be to just have a back-up copy of your modules folder and switch them around same as the override.


I have one question: is the last shot of the trailer showing Nihilus destroying a planet?

Well I'd hate to give spoilers as that particular shot happens towards the end, but I will say that it's not Nihilus, and that the person is using a similar technique and that Nihilus is watching.

Make of that what you will. :)

I'm curious about the HK droid with lightsabers.

Well, since you ask, I'll actually explain this one.

Originally, I was personally going to do the voice of Kannos, the guy talking in the trailer. I decided against this as my voice isn't actually that imposing (my R's and W's can can get mixed up).

Anyway, I ultimately decided to give myself a smaller but important cameo as none other than the supreme chancellor himself (the part is about the same size as Terence Stamp's in EP1). Not only is it my voice, but I made him look like me too, so you'll sort of get to see what I look like in this.

The HK with the lightsabers, is the HK-1000, my private bodyguard who follows me around everywhere like a shadow. He was bought on special order from HK-47's droid factory.

If I'm going to have a special bodyguard, it's gonna be a cool one. :D


I just got a question. How long will it take to play entire mod? Is it long as TSL, or maybe longer (it would require A LOT work, I know, but you did a lot of work already so perphaps...)? Just curious.

This is an awkward one to answer. I stated earlier that the mod has around 16 hours of gamplay, but that's only an educated guess.

Example :

The main quest of one planet is about finding out which three out of thirty suspects are spys. You're meant to solve this by tracing the signals from their hidden transmitters.

I however, don't need to bother with all that. I know which ones are the spies. I made them. So it takes me about five minutes to do this quest. Players might take closer to two hours.

I still stand by 16 hours for a thorough play through, but it depends on the player. Does anyone happen to know the official gameplay time of KOTOR2?


I guess it has been said the mod is about 16 hours. But im' also curious if it's only mail plot, or main plot with subquests...

The 16 hour estimate is for everything,, subquests and all.

Well I'd hate to give spoilers as that particular shot happens towards the end, but I will say that it's not Nihilus, and that the person is using a similar technique and that Nihilus is watching.

Make of that what you will. :)


Gasp! An Apprentice. :)

Or did he do a Sidious and jump into a clone body.

Ok I will just make 2 Overide and 2 Module folders for when I want to switch between Star Wars KotOR 2 with TSLRP and other mods & Star Wars KotOR 3 what one person could accomplish that a company could only destroy in the process.

Do we have a chance for open beta? I really want to play it : )
And one more question: a green Jawa? : )

Sweet, looks great. Can't wait to play it!!!!

Do we have a chance for open beta? I really want to play it : )


Well, to give a rough update I've played through the first level ( my 'Peragus') four times now, and I've only hit two major bugs. One's solved (typo of a warp script) and the other is an 'entry waypoint' on the wrong side of the door (rookie mistake :xp:). All other unsolved bugs (about 30) are basically either typos in dialogs or poorly balanced characters (usually too weak). I also did all my levels chronologically.

My point is that the bug solving process so far looks like it will be thankfully short. I made it a priority along the way to test out any 'planets' as I did them and it seems to have paid off.

Basically I'm saying that I could release a Beta, but it hopefully won't be that long until a full working alpha is available, so I'll just wait until then.



And one more question: a green Jawa? : )

Ootataa is complicated. Very, very, very complicated. :D

im predicting a November release correct me if im wrong

im predicting a November release correct me if im wrong

Hopefully. Although a lot of the making at this point is down to my own preference of what's included, so it's hard to tell.

For instance, this week I've decided to cut out all but two out of the original six romances (one for male PCs and one for females). The other four all felt like rushed, cut down versions of these. I think if 2 roms were good enough for KOTOR1 though, it's good enough for my mod.

It'll mean slightly less replayability, but less bugs to sort out, and therefore a sooner release date.

On a lighter note, there's also a WIP update. The first level (my 'Peragus') is 100% bug free. I think if the full release isn't done my the end of November I might release it as a Demo.

Ok cool by the time it is released by winter I will find time to buy a new graphics and install KotOR 2 and I am sure TSL should also be about done. You know just incase you might want to wait until TSL is released because there might be something that conflicts that you can quickly change with script but that is IMO to make more fans not go crazy if somethine like thats happens.

IT'S ALMOST HERE!!!!! SO CLOSE!!!!!! JUST ANOTHER MONTH OR TWO!!!!!!! :D :xp: :D :xp: :D :xp: :D :xp: :D

IT'S ALMOST HERE!!!!! SO CLOSE!!!!!! JUST ANOTHER MONTH OR TWO!!!!!!! :D :xp: :D :xp: :D :xp: :D :xp: :D
People saying things like that about TSLRP since months :xp:

Well, still, it makes me feel better to say it. :xp:

So...a green jawa...I like the sound of that...

I hope the project will be continued, even with stiupid TOR comming?

Ok, folks, 'bumping' threads around here with posts like this are spam, I have pruned some of them, so no more of these ok, the mod maker will post updates when they have any, communications of this type need to be conducted via PM (Private Message) instead. Thanks. -RH

>Sorry for that - i just wanted to ask Trex and point that I still count on this one and can't wait to play it. Didn't mean to spam the Forum.

Well, first of all, WIP update. (http://www.d-ex-d.com/WIP.html)

Second of all, a few new new screens :



http://img227.imagevenue.com/loc472/th_00786_EBON_ETTI_122_472lo.jpg) (http://img227.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=00786_EBON_ETTI_122_472lo.jpg)http://img132.imagevenue.com/loc1044/th_00788_hk1000_122_1044lo.jpg) (http://img132.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=00788_hk1000_122_1044lo.jpg)http://img111.imagevenue.com/loc624/th_00793_newbast_122_624lo.jpg) (http://img111.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=00793_newbast_122_624lo.jpg)http://img243.imagevenue.com/loc347/th_00802_rvcave_122_347lo.jpg) (http://img243.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=00802_rvcave_122_347lo.jpg)



Third of all, an answer to the above questions.

The project is still going ahead. I could try to alter the story in accordance with the MMORPG, but it would be far too much hassle. If nothing else, the MMO story premise states that Revan never returned to the known galaxy, however, in my storyline mod, Revan's return is one main plot points.

It will therefore continue as intended, regardless of forthcoming games. Canon can kiss my [insert expletive]. :xp:

I like Bastilla's new clothes. In fact, I think I like them better than the original. :)

Can't wait!

I liked that as well.

It does look a little incomplete though.

Canon can kiss my [insert expletive]. :xp:
Why not re-write canon? I'm gonna like this mod much more than a MMO :xp:
Well, I see you have fixed a lot of bugs already, it's really good. Can't wait to see your mod release :D

You could always consider this mod to be AU. (Alternate Universe)

It will therefore continue as intended, regardless of forthcoming games. Canon can kiss my [insert expletive]. :xp:

Thanks the Maker for that : ) As I said, in my private canon this will be the end of the story, not idiotic MMO. Screw you, LucasArse.

You could always consider this mod to be AU. (Alternate Universe)

And there is a chance it will be more popular than Star Wars Infinities.

when you can download it and at wich section at the game this mod will be active

It is a full conversion it starts when you create your character, not at a certain point in TSL.

As far as I can guess it will start on redone Peragus and from there you can get to the new adventure.
It's great that Trex is still working on the project and doesn't want to alter the plot. I really can't wait to play this mod (for me this one nad Revange of Revan are KOTROs3 - I don't care for idiotic MMO)

I think that this mod is great, but i'll still be buying and supporting the MMO as long as possible.
