Well I'm happy I can finally annouce this :).

I have been working on a new planet mod. It isn't any already created planet in the star wars universe, I just made the name and plot up. The basic plot is that this planet is being controlled by a dictator whose "police" or army are called the Guardions. This dictator's name is Kaytric Nebula (The name has been changed.) She was the founder of the Nebula priests, a sort of "gray" jedi(More specificlly, force weilders that do not follow good or evil but just attempt keep the galaxy in balance). Basiclly you are going to stop Kaytric from oppressing the citizens of Zei, how you will and what you will do with the planet after is your disecion.

I want to say more about the plot but I don't want to ruin it so, Here are just some screens. (Please ignore some of the skinning it got a little messed up and I haven't fixed yet) Also the pics got put in reverse order so It will make more sense if you look from the bottom up.

This looks really good. I've only played K2 once and that was a few years ago, so I have a few questions.

1. In the first screens, is that a completely new area modelled and skinned by you or is it one already in the game?
2. There were Selkath in K2?
3. When will it be released? (jokes, jokes)

1. It is a already in game module. I have very little modeling skills so I'll most likely be sticking with reskining modules.

2. That is not a selkath, that is an ithorian.

3. When It is finished.

@#2... oops. That's what I get for not getting enough sleep. I have no idea how I came to think it was a Selkath. Anyways, really looking forward to seeing more progress. Keep it up Harak.

Zhaboka, heard some of his work I'll see if he wants to.

Some new info to add. In this mod I plan to add a few easter eggs.
I plan to have one in every module. This could possibly be dialog entries that are a reference to some, ex. I included at one point a droid that is similar to the hk-50 units as how they were trying to hide themselves as protocol droids. They can also be items, placeables, skins, etc. Just something to look for when it is realesed.

I would change the Onderon skybox otherwise it looks too visually similar and loses the unique feeling you want to capture.

Exactly.
I will change the sky. At the moment I'm having trouble with the skinning. Also really busy, don't expect any updates for a little while.

I'm liking it! I only wish I had KOTOR on the PC (seems like you can always get more out of the PC versions of these games). Just one question though, are you recording your own voices for these characters, or splicing in-game voice files to make up the dialogue, or having everyone speak Huttese or silent?
 harark1

1. This is for Tsl.
2. I am recording my own voices, plus a little help from Zhaboka.

Okay, I'm here for a quick update.

Sadly I'm still having trouble with the hex editing of the areas so can't show my new reskin of the area Commoner Ground. (That means I haven't put the reskins in yet. Please don't comment that it looks the same as it normally is in game.)

Progress so far:
Dialog: 30%
Quests: 5%
Journal entries:0%
Story:95%
Placeables:30%
Reskins of modules: ... 0%
New items: 20%

Now for a few screenies:

Lol jimmy model:LHCM
*poke*
I have a question about that, he IS a droid right?why does he have a human model? Or do you still have to change his model to a droid?

This looks like a very good mod.
I might be able to help you with voice acting, but probably in a couple of days.

I see that, but he is speaking like a droid. Is he sopposed to be some kind bionic cyborg or something?

The person shown in the screenshot is the player character. The line of dialogue at the top is spoken by the droid, who we don't see in the screenshot, and is not spoken by the player character.

The player character's available dialog choices don't sound like droid ones.

No, no ,no. Im talking about the character that was speaking, not your character. What i was asking was, just to be clear, if the black character in the commoner clothing was or is supposed to be a droid.
 harark1
06-10-2011, 4:35 PM
#33
First, the black charcter in commoner clothing was not the charcter speaking those lines.
Second, Yes he is a droid. (Sorry about not showing this droid, fraps took the pic at the wrong moment, and I didn't notice.) (The actuall model is a sensor ball like Bao-Dur's)
Third, Why the player has the dialog option *poke* is xxRevanxx insisted to include some humor in this mod and he wrote that dialog.

(I hope this doesn't count as double posting.)

Could anyone happen to tell me where I can find the 502ond.mdl file in kotor tool?
Trying to reskin it and the tutorial I'm using says I need that file but I can't seem to find it. I probally just overlooked it but any advice would be appreciated.


Edit: Found them... There are 3 different files a, b, and d. Does anyone know which i'm supposed to edit? Also anyone know why there isn't a c, it doesn't matter i'm just curious?

Okay, I think this planet is progressing nicely, and for the reason I posted today is I need a voice actor. Specifically I need someone who can do Kreia's voice. Please pm if you are interested.

The thing is that inserting the line *poke* into the dialog neither relevant nor humourous. If you're going to have funny responses, they need to be at least partially relevant to the dialog or else they detract from the story.

I understand what your talking about, I am going to do some editing and hopefully this idea will work a bit better. Although xxrevanxx will probally complain but I can deal with him. Could I borrow some duct tape from anyone? :devsmoke::lol:

Well I kinda already anwsered this question twice. So could people stop asking this, because it's starting to get annoying? The anwser is yes, I plan for most if not all to be voiced. Remember to read other people's posts they might have already asked your question. (Now, I sound like a teacher. :lol:)

These grey Jedi remind me of a canon faction known as the Mindwalkers. Look them up on wookiepedia if you wanna know more.
