Greetings friends.

It has been over a year since my last visit and I am now returning to start a brand new mod known as "Endar Spire X-Panded Version 2".

As the continuation from where the mod left off - It expands the beginning of the game introducing a new characters and locales!

I am the sole member working on this mod , any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for viewing !

It's good to be back!

not to be snippy or anything, but whats the point of expanding the Endar Spire? It was meant as a tutorial part, and theres nothing really needed to be added. I mean come on, You get to know the basics, the Sith Attack, Trask dies, you escape and boom, bye Endar Spire. It's not really necessary to add on to that, and what is there to add on to it? Personally, I think Bioware did the Endar Spire just fine

Well, welcome back! It's always great to see people in the community, wether new or old.

I think I'm going to disagree with Johnathon and say that I think an addition to the Endar Spire would be a very good thing! If it was expanded, I would truly enjoy playing it, instead of breezing through it as a tutorial level. I've always thought that there could be more to mine from the idea of a ship under attack. It always seemed a little empty and lacking to me.

So welcome back and good luck! I look forward to seeing your work.

Anything can be more enjoyable if done right. Good luck

If you need help I'd be happy to help you out.

Firstly , Mods are recomended to be played after initial completion of the game. Even experienced playes want something new when replying games. Carth Onasi is recruited at the very beginning of the game , with this mod someone is also recruited - You'll just have to wait and see who!

@ MakoKing77 , thanks for the help!

Update : As for the progress , storylines for the mod are finished , initial ideas for custom skins are coming along soon.We don't need anymore members as of yet though. Exams are on this week , I'll try and post some more dialouge samples If I get the time!

Bindo, I'm quite good at making websites. Do you (and anyone can chime in here) think we need a project website yet?

Hi , thanks for the interest!

Being a bit eager are we!

But to awnser to your question - we don't need a project website yet, But I would like one pretty soon when we get through a fair amount of the mod.

No status updates as of yet - please be patient everyone! , My mock exams are coming to a close, I'll be having a free weekend this week.

Thanks.

New update!

We have started on the mod but Bindo245 is taking a leave of absense. This means I'm on my own for the moment :P. I could get this mod done on my own soon. But It would be great if some people could be kind enough to give us a hand. Thank you.

On to the update, modules have started, storyline planning is just about done. Skinning has started. This mod is really starting to get done.

Thank you everyone and see you guys in the next update!

Hi everyone,

Just to confirm this I am taking a leave until exams are finished (which is a while) but that way I can work at a much faster rate.
Therefore MakoKing77 is in charge.

Thanks.

This sounds like it could be promising, good luck! Can't wait for more updates.

I must admit I can't see the reason for expanding it, but, good luck with it.:thmbup1:

Update Time!

I am skinning some items that you'll be getting in the mod.

They're Golden Item's. A Robe, Saber and Visor

I'll post some screenies once I've finished making a module. Site is being made and I hope to give you a bit of information about the Recruitible Party Member that is going to replace Juhani....

Stay tuned folks!

Let me guess.....The jedi who dies to the sith right before the bridge?

Or another person?

MakoKing77 you can ask D4R7H 5K3L370R: http://www.lucasforums.com/member.php?u=162510) for the dialogue and writings for this mod since he and Jonathan7 were making a mod recruiting the jedi on the Endar Spire.
Note: The character had backstory.

Oh...you are both going to be surprised once you find out who it is...

Apparently, anyone who was following this mod the first time it was being made will know who it is. Please don't tell anyone, it'll ruin my surprise.

@Slstoev, this is not a jedi you are recruiting...but HE is able to use a lightsaber and also this is not on the endar spire. So there's no point. But thank's for pointing it out anyway!

Me? As far as I know I'm not working on that mod :xp:

Oops sorry, Jonathan7, i mistaked you with jedi7000nathan.

If you would like some help, I would be glad to. I've always thought that the Endar Spire should have had more to it.

Thanks! Can you send me a PM telling me what you can do? I'm about 60% with character skinning so if you know how to do anything apart from skinning, that would be great!

Alrighty, time for an update!

I have made the website, as I am obeying the list that was given to me by bindo245. So here it is

www.endarspirex-panded.webs.com)

Have a look at the screenshots page. You'll find a picture of the new golden items (You can also see the old version) that are coming as well as the preview for the Apprentice of Darth Bandon: Darth Venom.

As I have said, any questions, just ask. And also, if you want to help, you can post here, send me a private message, or sign up at the website.

I'm excited for this project; always thought the endar spire was cool and should've been more than a tutorial. I just have to say that I think the "old" versions of the gold items look better. The "new" versions just look too yellow to me and the old lightsaber also looks way better. Anyway, I'll add this to the list of mods I'll be following with great interest.

#Dak Drexl: The old versions of the gold items were lost when the mod ended a while back. This new restarted version of the mod is being made by me, a very new modder, with limited skills. I'll try to update them and make them better, and thank you for your input. But I don't know If I'm good enough to make these really good.

Update: Modules are in progress, skinning of the new party member is being done. I'll have some delicous screenies for you guys soon. Thats all folks!

Oh alrighty. In that case, they're actually pretty good. I thought you were trying to make improvements on the "old" stuff. I'm a new modder too, and I know exactly what you mean man. Good luck with this!

@Dak: Thanks I'll keep trying. I'm going to be releasing some little screenies on the new party member very soon.

On a related note: Who is the sexiest male character in the game? I need to reskin him so he looks like someone else. Now, on to the mod.

Lots of work has been done in the doing nothing department. No progress. I've been in a lazy state and I'm going to start work again now. Alright, any ideas or voulenteering would be really appreciated. And if anyone knows how to make a decent lightsaber hilt, check out my request in the modding requests section. I haven't looked yet, but It was a while ago, so It might be buried, so I might need searching for. You can just seach my username and It should come up with my posts.

I have updated the website. On the 28th Feburary 2010, I'll be releasing the new party member. O_o

Stay tuned for (actual) updates!

In comparison to the original size of the Endar Spire how much bigger do you believe it will be expanded, percentage wise?

@harlll
Well, the Endar Spire isn't going to be Expanded, it's going to add to the bit before you go to Taris. I'm removing the Tutorials and also removing 90% of the Starboard Section bit. Then you are taken to another ship, where you will be debriefed on your mission.

Now it's time for you all to find out the new party member that isn't really new, just....recreated from the old version of the mod. Coming up is the skin for the head of the New Party Member, as well as info on who he is, his background, who he will be replacing and his side-quest etc etc. But first I need to ask you all once again for help, I don't want to nag, but I'm worried I might not be able to live up to all of Bindo245's expectations, Bindo245 is a good friend of mine, and he doesn't want to see the mod he put so much effort in to go to waste over a rookie modder trying to make a big mod, I can handle most of it, but if anyone can help module built, make a new lightsaber hilt or making the same modules appear 3 times with different skins, how to make them seperate to each model, and also anything they can do to help. Thank you.

Okay, the new party member is.........

Wait, no seriously, spoilers inside this box, open if you want them.....

Name: Krat Shan

Age: Born 3977 BBY, 29 when you recruit him.

Family: Son of Helena and Sarta, Half-Brother of Bastila Shan.

Background: Was born on the hot planet of Talravin, mother was having affair with his father. After a brutal pirate raid, Krat's father was taken into slavery, and he was never found. Krat raised secretly by Helena behind her husband's back, mainly while Bastila and her father were off on their own. As soon as she got the oppertunity, she gave Bastila to the Jedi order and told her husband she had adopted him to help her forget Bastila. At 23, he enlisted with the Republic and met with Bastila. Krat had a weak hold of the force but was trained to be a Jedi by Master Dar-Bin-Jaw. He now has limited force powers and can use a lightsaber. He is now a member of the Mora Sharp, a new cutting egde ship with a stealth field generator so big it can cover an entire ship, it is an escort for the endar spire and is to retrieve Revan if the ship is attacked.

Replacing: Juhani, because she's ugly and has really no side story apart from a stalker who appears every couple of hours.

How does he join you?: The Endar Spire, the Mora Sharp and the Taun Shock were all made together, but the Endar Spire wasn't able to be hidden by a stealth field generator because of the fact that it wasn't a hammerhead. It was going to have the other 2 guard it, but the Taun Shock was stolen by Sith. The Republic wanted the ship captured or destroyed as the Sith could copy the technology into their own ships. In the battle above Taris, the Taun Shock appears and kidnaps Krat Shan, the leader of this Sith force is Darth Venom, the apprentice of Darth Bandon. Venom had to prove himself to his master, by killing Dar-Bin-Jaw, kidnapping his apprentice was to lure him out. But when your character arrives, you go with him. After you free him, he joins you.

Class: Level 2 Jedi Guardian.

Side Quest: Not Telling Yet!

Appearance:http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/2199/kratshan.png)

Yes, romance option. I also need a voice actor for him. Anyone want to be Krat Shan?

Well, there you go. Any questions or (please) voulenteering to help me. Post away!
