Wow. You don't only impress me with your stuff, but also with your patience for working so long on the same project in these times. This is not meant to discredit all the others that did it too, just wanted to throw it in. ;)

Thanks. It really doesn't feel like it's been almost a year since I first made this thread, time flies.

Thanks Zhaboka. And by any chance when I finally do get to voiceovers could you do some for me?

Anyway, I was going to try and have an update today but life's gotten in the way again. I'm still pretty positive on the weekend update though.

And positive I still am.

Basically this is a small reskin for a transition area of sorts. It'll serve as an extra hallway branching out of the main module I'm using since 1. The module has a room there and that won't serve my purposes and 2. The room's walkmesh is messed up and you can only walk halfway through it.

Yep, there are doors to change and such, maybe some lightmapping to do and a little shoring up on the textures but other than that, what do you guys think?

I think the stone walls give it away that it's the sith base and not Dantooine, maybe replace them with more wood paneling?

IMO, a more brownish stone wall would work just fine. Many of Dantooine's structures - if I remember right - are like that. Keep it up man! :thmbup1:

Thanks Dak! And I've noticed you kept the straps on him, I may decide to do that to my armored Rodian....When first looking at it when I had just put the chest plate on my Rodian it looked a bit odd with the straps on his armor, I'll see how it looks now. And could you email me that Rodian please?

I hope it'll be as good as BOS:SR, but it's hard to match and even harder still to top that type of quality.

And here's a new update, some of the music that'll be in the mod. Gleaned from http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/#)

(Titles are subjective to change, and I tried to keep them as vague as possible for a reason. Also, the artwork is NOT permanent. Just something I threw together to have as a background.)

Okay, first off, sorry for the double post moderators.

Now, for a new update. This shows off the first couple minutes of the first sidequest. Please excuse the fact that the woman doesn't turn to face the other two in the conversation and also that it slows down a bit at times, the recording software I use seems to take away a bit from the performance of KotOR. Yes it may seem a bit odd that the dialogue is silent, but it will be voiced before release. Also sorry if the text is hard to read, I put in annotations for it but they wouldn't show up for me on the video page itself....Basically the recording software I use records in AVI format, a format my editing program doesn't support. When going through the conversion process from AVI to a useable format, it loses much of its quality. Now, here it is:

Clicky! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lga_VY-H8K8)

Thanks, though I do need to fix a slight delay with the girl's tired animation and I need to change the fact that the mother doesn't turn until she is involved in the conversation. Also, I'll need to fix how the girl and the father reorient on themselves they seem to snap on each after each progressive dialogue node, I'm going to try and make it so it's more smooth.

Small update, I'm finishing up the dialogue for the quest you saw but cameras refuse to point the way I want them to. I'll sort it out eventually.

Wow, good luck. Do you live in Los Angeles? Cause on the new's the people are saying that a wind storm is battering Los Angeles. When Alfred hit Connecticut Just about the whole state lost power, for about a week, and it's not a really bad experience. Hope everything is going well. P.S: Do you have a generator?

Welcome back, hope all is well

And back I am! Yes all is very well indeed, for my power was restored not five minutes before I set foot in my house earlier today. Anyway, now I've been able to get back to modding faster than expected and I whipped up some scripts to fix the problem of the awkward orientations during the dialogue. However, I still have bugs to fix and they do not fire properly, that is the reason the girl tends to start rotating away from both her parents. Also, Mrs. Doha didn't want to be cooperative, or at least her scripts didn't, so some little things I had planned that would add some realism to the scene didn't take place. But above all of these petty script issues is the main reason why I have an update on this scene. Zhaboka. He was kind enough to do some test VO's for this scene so thank him for the update being in video form. Enjoy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8R6Z4CXYL0)

(Note: The reason there is a watermark at the top is due to the fact that the software I used to record places that at the top, however it records in higher quality than the other program I was using so I consider the tradeoff worth it. Also, my PC runs the game faster than 27 FPS but the recording slows it down. Also, the subtitles differ from the voiced lines because between the time Z voiced them I rewrote some of them to flow better. And lastly, sorry for the abrupt end I made a quick edit to keep out non voiced content.)

Thoughts, feedback, opinions, hate mail ;), are all appreciated so please, post.

Yep, it was Z trying to mimic girls. This was all for the sake of test purposes so I could 1. See how the scene played out, 2. Get someone else's perspective on how the dialogue is read (Zhaboka had no directing commentaries from me on how to say the lines), and 3. Partly just for my own satisfaction at seeing a scene of Dantooine Tension with VO's.

The young girl and her mother need to be voiced by actual females, IMHO.

Right you are good sir, as the title of the video indicates: Test VO's.
