UPDATE: The role of Treyfus will now be filled by...me. Yes, myself, Lord of Hunger. Hopefully this not-so-humble storyline consultant :D will be up to the task.
We still need Rothion, Lossarian, and Rhavarion. Progress is being made on the reskin of Deralia.
That's all for now.
Well, I have an update.
While working on a mod of my own (once I get a bit farther into it, I'll post more about it in my thread), I created a texture that was exactly what Yat was looking for in Trinity, so I now have that skin officially done.
http://h.imagehost.org/0080/PFHC01_DS.png)
During my skin creations, Yat may find some of my other reskins (which have yet to be done) to be great for other characters, so keep an eye on this thread for more updates.
Goodie! Updates coming! Looks good, glad you found what Yat needed.
im very sorry to have to announce this but the project is being closed and will not be continued until further notice. frankly it is due to some unexpected situations brewing between me and triggergod, again sorry to say this for those who were expecting this project to be completed and again this project is canceled unless the situation resolves itself.
Wow.... I have no words. Anyway, hope to hear from you soon....
alright i know this is going to sound unexpected and quite random but lord of hunger has convinced me to pick up this project myself, this will not hinder time shift as i wasnt doing anything on that mod anyway, the rest of the team was and is, i will try to finish this mod to the best of my ability but time constraints may hinder the production, ill post updates whenever i can and with the help of a few of my friends the mod may yet get done.
edit- we now have a group so i will be posting ALL updates there the major updates will be the only things appearing in this thread from now on.
If I may ask where is discussion for this group?
I am so glad this mod is back. It sounded as if this mod was going to be as good as Solomon's Revenge. Maybe we will have some great surprises for summer of '10.
And have you updated the progress report on the front page? It would be good if we (the random kotor players that are waiting for good mods) could see exactly how much is done.
at this point there is alot not going into it because some of the models/work was made by team hssiss so since the current team is just loh and i the mod will take longer to make and i may need some outside help with a few of the mods harder situations such as scipting, things would go much faster if i had alot of dialogue writers as well but ill have to work out the whole team situation later, right now im finalizing some skins that were made beforehand and trying to get trilaras's horns to work (having no luck on that whatsoever)
Hope this sees completion
i hope i can get it finished i mean, im willing to spend a few years working on it if need be, i just want it done
Yeah! It's back! The Lost Ones is back! Thanks to Yat and LoH for this! I like how determined you are now into this, Yat! Keep it up!
Glad to have your support juan morale has been a big issue for me lately.....
Uh did you forget I was going to help too? Glad to see you still want to make this!
Canderis! Good to see you mate! No, we didn't forget you, we were just a bit busy restarting the project and getting voice auditions. :)
well canderis glad to have you back
EDIT: here is the official theme of The lost ones

Also, we've casted both Lossarian and Treyfus. Thank you JuniorModder for auditioning.
We still need voice overs for Rothion, Rhavarion, Talias, Ardolis, and Shiloth. Please visit this (

Hey everyone got a couple of updates for ya
1st off im still trying to finish skinning the characters before we start on the modules, only trouble im having now is with the trilaras skin
2nd we still need voice actors, sadly this has been very hard getting actors for this mod over the course of its production and is still an issue, if you wish to audition for one of the 5 roles left please look at the post above this one
and finally ive been working on a promotional poster in my spare time im quite pleased with
http://i.imagehost.org/0020/TLO_promotional_poster.jpg)

http://i.imagehost.org/view/0250/user154867_pic5578_1262736496)
Time to update everyone: We have cast eight of the nine voice actors and have complete lines for three of them. Our only remaining role is Shiloth. If you are interested, please see our auditioning thread:
http://www.deadlystream.com/showthread.php?1033-The-Lost-Ones-Five-Voice-Actors-Needed!-Please-audition!)
More updates to come. This weekend we hope to get the very first section of the mod done.
Just my two cents, I don't have appropriate audio equipment to audition, but would've (and tried it out on a crappy little plastic mike, forget it).
This line is a problem,
-“In any event, I grow tired of asking questions. I'll release you now so you can show me your TRUE POWER!”
It lacks reasoning and depth and should be something more like
[frustrated, threatening] "I'm...getting tired...OF ASKING...you...QUESTIONS! [calm, mocking] Heh! You want to show me your power? Your true power? I'll let you go, now. POUR YOURSELF INTO ME! Give me your POWER!"
One should recall a high point of Sith philosophy is self loathing. Insane depends on where you stand, manic always has reason, sadism is like a hunger and random is just whimsy. These things are merely the human element of doing mean things, the brain responds in these ways because it is working correctly, not because it isn't.
Anyway if dialogue is written as a cartoonish villain, then there can be no real substance to speaking them. The character becomes two-dimensional.
Also, always add industry standard emotives with screenplay lines. They help a great deal with your casting, because it's possible for someone perfect for the role to simply be on a different emotional wavelength at the time and seem an inappropriate choice. Given the right mood, you might say, whoa, that's the sound I wanted.
The other line is okay ("Obviously you need sufficient motivation.") but it does set the precedent of something psychosexual between the Sith Lord and his victim (ie. he is feeding the prisoner's needs, satiating them with torture). This is little different from the way Malak handles Bastila, but in that case it isn't homoerotic.
Breaking that connection is a simple change of perspective on our Sith Lord. Instead of feeding need being his word association, lacking abilities might be of greater concern. It's just a simple substitution of "need" for "lack"
[threatening] "Perhaps you LACK sufficient MOTIVATION!" [Sith Lord tortures PC with Force Lightning]
Remember especially that use of the Force during dialogue should represent that character's affiliation with the Force, ie. his Jedi or Sith class type. Ben Kenobi is a Watchman by RPG core rules (specific prestige class is actually Jedi Investigator), and old Ben uses the Force very matter of factly and quite conservatively.
Yoda is the archetypical Consular and the epitome of the Jedi Master, and uses it with wonderment and humility.
Luke is the classical Jedi Guardian and uses it with reverence and determination.
Vader, the Dark Jedi uses it as a personal tool, but respects it and expects others to do the same.
Palpatine considers it a personal power, one he can steal from others or at least manipulate within others. He is the archetypical Sith Lord.
The Sith Acolyte is concerned with gaining power. The Sith Warrior with abusing power. All Sith seek to satiate themselves.
When someone is about to use a Force power they must channel the emotive content of the way they are about to use the Force. This should appear within the undercurrent of their dialogue.
Force Lightning for example is the palpable focus of all the hatred within the Force user for all life, including their own. There should be a visible element of self loathing and sheer callous disregard just as it is about to be used, even if this detracts slightly from the theme of dialogue. Because that's the point where the audience says, Oh he was focusing Force Lightning right at that point, I could tell by how his conversation changed slightly.
Just some thoughts anyway.
Im happy to announce that all characters have been cast and the actors should now be recording their lines! So please do not send in any new auditions unless we announce that a position has been opened up. (for any reason, if any at all)
thanks
look forward to more updates within the next few weeks.
Cool picture, when do you think the mod is going to be finished ?
I have an announcement to make, because lordofhunger has recently retired from modding i will be looking for a new co-director (storyline consultant) if anyone is interested let me know via PM and we can talk, the mod is still proceeding as planned though this is a minor setback, we are also looking for any other help that would like to be given, wether it be scripting, dialogue or anything else the community would like to contribute please let me know what it is via PM and we will try to include that into the mod Asap
Update: Juansaman has gladly accepted the role of co-director and storyline consultant, very happy to have you aboard Juan
SaintAugustine has also contributed to the mod and has begun writing sidequests for the main plot to make deralia a more enjoyable planet once the mod is complete
HarIII has also commited to aiding us in this project and has begun placing npcs and other things for us in the mods modules
my appreciation is spread now to all of you for aiding us in this expansion project, it was tough doing the bulk of the work myself, thanks again everyone
More updates to come, i feel i will have alot to update within the coming weeks so keep checking back :)
Happy to be part of the team, Yat. :thmbup1: Can't wait to start working with such a professional team! :) :) :) :)
Hey everyone this update will be somewhat of a preview of the very large update we have coming this weekend. I have some very good news that i hope will hopefully enthuse you more into the playing of this mod here are some of the new things we have added (and almost already completed) as an addition to the mod....
we've decided to add 3 "sidequest hubs" into the mod, alot of our team members liked this idea because the mod was rather linear, the new quest hubs include...
The sith offices on korriban, (where you find treyfus now)
The Hydra (treyfus's ship while in transit to tentanus)
The city of dehotas (still the same but we are adding the elder settlement as the first part of the city to make it feel less like a colony the black rakata settlement will still serve the same purpose)
Junior modder has already recorded the added treyfus lines for the hydra and things are progressing quite smoothly (thanks JM), canderis has finished his altar chamber module, i finished rothions robes and finalized the appearances of rothion, trinity, and lossarian.
Juansaman and SaintAugustine have also proved to be a great help for writing sidequests along with outside help from Logan23 much appeciated guys :)
and the last thing, har has been hard at work on the modules and will have screens for us hopefully by the time of the next update.
thanks everyone please look forward to the next update.
Hey everyone, time for the update, i have alot of screen shots to showcase, please enjoy

The pics look great!
Keep up the great work
I would reskin the door on the tentanus screen.
Sorry for the recent lack of updates, but ive been quite busy lately with RL things, the project will continue as planned and i will be back to work on it within the next few weeks
Haven't checked here in a while...The pics look great keep it up!
Isn't Deralia revan's programed identity homeworld not his real one.:)
Well there really wasn't any way to tell wether or not it was truth or not....the council may have left that part intact :) plus there wasn't any other listed planets revan could've came from, sooo we went with that
Expect an update soon ive been working pretty hard the past few days
Didn't Kreia say he came from a planet in the outer rim or something like that. :)
Deralia is in the Outer Rim Lol
Just to let everybody know i am back and continuing to work on the mod as of now, i also have submitted a TLO themed launcher to filefront that should be approved and placed on the site within a few days hope you all will enjoy the launcher until the full mod is released.
Looking forward to it! :thmbup1:
Well, the launcher is taking longer to upload than i expected, either that or there are some server issues over at Kfiles so until i get the launcher up on that site, here is an alternative download link, enjoy!

Looks good, yat! :thmbup1:
Hey everyone, hope you've enjoyed your week, time for an update.
We will be moving the starting point of the mod from korriban to Team Hssiss' WIP Helos station, we decided on this to allow for greater compatibility between the lost ones and SIlveredge 9's Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's revenge mod, so the lost ones will now require team hssiss' helos station mod to play, which for now will take precedence over the lost ones production, until helos station is finished however i will be doing very little to the lost ones mod itself.
Thats all for this update, more to come.
wow! sounds like a great mod!
Time for another update, the past few days have been pretty busy as ive been helping canderis get helos station up and running as well as tlo.
Now, over the past 2 days i have been working on finalizing the appearance and lore of trilaras (main antagonist) and to better fit his "halfbreed" status we decided to make trilaras into a massassi sub-species, he still appears as a sith spirit in the mod however, and this is the effect we came up with.

http://a.imagehost.org/view/0576/swkotor_2010-07-28_21-57-55-07)
many changes are still being made as we continue progress on this mod, and i will begin making video blogs to mark the mods progress, as soon as i get the optimum settings for fraps correct of course, we hope you will continue to watch the progress of this mods development, as it is you, the community who make the mods possible.
I like the red-transparent look, but the texture on his chest looks really low-res.
Thats one of two issues i am working on with that skin, the first being his head bobs very strangely when he walks/attacks/runs and the other being the low res robe texture.
and the red was because he is a massassi, heres an example.
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090602010851/starwars/images/thumb/1/1f/Massassi-JATM.jpg/411px-Massassi-JATM.jpg)
Lovr the pics :D keep it up.
A few small scale updates for you all today, first off, the NEW launcher was submitted to filefront a few days ago and im awaiting review and post, second off i got a few requests to hear voice samples from the other characters, and heres one of rothion.
http://f.imagehost.org/download/0637/Rothion_L24)
Ill have more to come in the next few weeks as team hssiss continues its progress on helos station and TLO respectfully.
More to come
Why worry about a launcher now? Isn't that like putting the horse before the cart?
the launcher was made to be a teaser in the first place, for the official release im working on something special :)
Rothion sounds awesome and fairly well enunciated.
