What I'm trying to say, is that Darasuum jumped way too far. You can't expect to just come into the modding business and expect everything to be easy, for you to be great from the start. You need to start small, it may not be too grand, but everyone has to start somewhere. People will help. They will provide (for the most part) constructive criticism. Like the old saying, "practice makes perfect", start, work your way up, then see if you're ready to take on a big project. Not a TC or an SC. But something that people will enjoy. And most importantly: That you will enjoy. Modding is mostly to spend your free time. So why not enjoy yourself?
Spot on. This realization is what we hope to get the new guys to realize when they first join. Sometimes you just have to actually do it though.
^^Couldn't have said it better myself. I actually wouldn't have even really tried modding if it weren't for this project though, so for that I owe my thanks to Darasuum.
That's great! I hope it enhanced your life... er somehow ;P. Do stick around though, there is a mod tsunami coming, and it's going to need willing, able and enthusiastic participants!
The two guys that DD forgot their names are Darth Kahim and Cassus Fett. Cassus only joins your party if you are DS. And yes, Mission will make an appearence and will hit on you if you are a male. You will meet Mission on Nar Shadda before you meet Zayne in a nearby bar. Zayne will already be married.
Well I haven't read the comics myself, but I did read up on my wookieepedia :thmbup1:
You're right about Zayne being a padawan on Taris before the massacre. Whether or not Mission makes an appearance in the mod, I really can't say, partially because I'm not entirely sure, lol.
They met in the Hidden Bek base.
"I'm Mission."
"I'm Fool's Errand."
Just as a note, the first dev. blog and modcast will be in April.
Here we have the final Zayne; I don't have a modeling issue anymore! He will be wearing the default clothes I posted in the other post of Zayne.

is he a reskin of deciple? ( i think his real name is Michael or something) Also, I will have to put my side of this amazing project on hold due to my computer which is as slow as heck. I will try to either fix or replace it within a month or two.
Yeah, it's a re-modeled Disciple head along with a reskin. TDM, hope you get your computer fixed soon.
thx,
I am now taking a majority vote sort of, I am about to start working on the first modcast, but I don't have a subject, if you have an idea, either PM me or say in this thread. Here are the options.....
I could do it on a specific character
I could answer people's FAQ's
It could be about the storyline
It could be about the game's technical aspects
It could be about modules
It could be a segment on modding in general
It could be about the game's soundtrack
or, it can be on Villains
You choose......
I do not know now whether I have correctly translated to your post, but as far as I understand you still looking in nature.
Mandalorian named Sanara Odis (Villian)
Miraluka named Zerane (Jedi)
Kaminoaner named Nariane (Sith and former girlfriend of Zerane)
actually, I am going to make a podcast about the mod, and the list I made up there are possible subjects.
Does the podcast contain a video or just audio?
Just a small update
I'm working on the Sith Lord now. When it's 'finished', would people want to see it or would they not want the spoiler? I think I'll be posting him in the private group to get feedback anyway.
Also, I revamped Ben Krass, the first character on here. I made his skin look better and I also tweaked the head model just a little bit.

Dak and I like to call the Sith Lord "Darth Sauron" and you will see why.
Because he looks like Sauron from the Lord of the Rings movies? If so, why?
yes, we are still trying to get spikes on his helm though.
Eh, well, here's the Emperor so far. I don't think he looks very good, but I'm hoping to get feedback from people. Where does everyone think I should go with this? Any suggestions help a lot... there'll be a lot more versions of this guy, it's just v1.

Please give me some feedback!!
looks even better! He looks just like sauron, minis, the spikes.
Like the revamped head, looks more realistic.
And... wow. That's a vilian I'd really like to take down...
Mandalor, since the podcast is only audio, I vote for either storyline or soundtrack.
For everything else, you need visualization. Talking about modules for instance wouldn't say anything to me. But storyline can be told like, well, a story. And for the soundtrack, you can add small samples.
good idea, I was thinking that too. I could always add still pictures of skins and modules in the cast though.
I like the beard from the first head better.
@Azzameen:
Thank you! I hope to get him much better looking.
@Greggomonkey:
Yeah, I was debating whether or not I should change the goatee, but I just think the new one looks more realistic with the texture. I thought the other one looked too flat.
he would look more like atton if he had no goutee.
That Sith Lord looks great but I think that there could be some work done, specifically more like Sauron. I've always wanted to have Sauron in Kotor.
Just to let you guys know, my computer is infected with virus so i will have to take a break.
You've done a (none infected) back-up of your files though, right?
it isn't letting me back up my files and is saying it will ruin my hard drive. My father is currently working on it and it is being fixed.
I am a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings, I got all the movies including the Books and Extended Editions, and I have to say, that does NOT look like Sauron, in fact, it is more like the Witch-king of Angmar, one of the Nine Ringwraiths. Sorry if this post seems like an insult to you guys, but I'm only mentioning. It really is a nice skin though.
Not sure I'm allowed to post pictures of this, but here's a comparison between Sauron and the Witch-king...
Sauron.

The Witch-king.

Actually Forgorn, you're right. When I made this I was going for more of a witch-king look. Although TDM said Sauron, I felt like it would be easier to manipulate Nihilus' model to be more Witch-King style. I'm glad someone noticed :)
Hehe... By the way, all your skins are amazing, better than what I could come up with. :)
Hehe... By the way, all your skins are amazing, better than what I could come up with. :)
Oh please, they're hardly amazing, but I appreciate the compliment anyway. Just work at it and you'll naturally get better :thmbup1:
I like what's been done with the Nihilus model. Though to be a little similar with the Witch-King, adding a metal shader would help. Not overdoing the effect, just enough for a slight shine, making it seem a little more like metal, than anything else.
And possibly you should make the chest look a little more like armor as well, similar to the Mask and shoulders.
However, the Witch-king did not wear armour, just a black robe, unless of course, you'd like to make a little change. The reason the Witch-king even had a robe and mask is that he's considered "invisible" to everyone and everything unless Frodo Baggins or anyone else put one the One Ring. (Sorry, felt like pointing that out, lol.)
I really don't care whether The Emperor is Witch King or Sauron, all that matters is that there is an evil villain in this mod! I still cant stop looking at the Emperor, he is so darn cool!
Thanks guys. I think I'm going to play around with him a bit more sometime in the near future. I have an AP exam tomorrow so after that's over I should have some more free time than usual :D
I'm going to try to add spikes around the forehead area and I think I'm going to play around with an armored texture. I think the Star Wars universe is lacking sweet armored Sith Lords as it is, so maybe I can add one in there.
Feedback is great, keep it coming, especially if someone knows how to add good looking spikes instead of just extending the vertices, which looks kinda dumb. I was thinking about trying to attach a primitive cone or something but I'm not sure if that works due to the nature of the replacer tool... if anyone can tell me it would be awesome because I don't feel like making changes to the model and un-checking over 6,000 boxes in the replacer just to have the model fail in-game :hor:
Just as a heads up, I am taking a break of this mod to pursue other projects, I will most likely work on this when I am more into KOTOR, for now, I am modding Akella's 2003 RPG Pirates of the Caribbean (not based on the movie)
Eh, well, here's the Emperor so far. I don't think he looks very good, but I'm hoping to get feedback from people. Where does everyone think I should go with this? Any suggestions help a lot... there'll be a lot more versions of this guy, it's just v1.

you should add some black streaks on the mask and shoulder pads and then white streaks on the robe but in the end everything looks great :thumbsup:
