Personally speaking, the whole consumed-by-the-Dark-Side-so-much-that-you've-become-a-Force-Ghost-walking-around-in-armour is a bit too much, especially since Nihilus appears very little in-game compared to the other Sith. Before I looked into it, I assumed that he had a body, possibly in a similarly weakened stated as Sion's, but a body nevertheless. As for the dreads, I'm guessing that had more to do with sculpting together a decent-looking toy, rather than alluding to any origin. If you want to be picky though, you can always assume that the dreadlocks are ritualistic and therefore artificial and part of the armour or that the human form and the detail was merely a Force illusion trick by Nihilus. If he's going to make the effort to appear humanoid, he might be vain enough to want to look cool, yeah?

Feel free. You know that until you showed up, people hadn't written here for four days? Totally! ha-HA! In any case, I'm guessing that at some point (I estimate/hope by the end of this year) the team might throw the towel in and release their latest beta build as-is, with the intention of allowing others to patch it up, since some bugs seem to be virtually untreatable, considering their limited resources in time and tools.

Oh I remember the good old days when were were down on 9 or something All this was trees back then...

Are your discs worn out? Maybe there is a manual way of installing the game...

84...

Start a different, mentioning your system's characteristics. Also have a look in the Vista-thread. It sounds like something completely different to the issue of this one.

If you sift through the last few pages of the previous part to this discussion thread, you will find some reporting on the leaked beta, problems experiences, first impressions etc.

In reference to Brdavs' message, there is a leaked beta of the TSLRP that incorporates the fixes (along with other nice things!). However, it not that playable if you choose the wrong options...

Any developments, now that Dashus has returned?

And Darth Nihilus = Darth Plagueis?

I think that as per cut content, Nihilus was supposed to be the dark force manifestation of the exile's former self, when she got cut from the force, or after the events of the battle of malachor v, or something along those lines. That also explains why Nihilus appears on Korriban as a vision. I like that origin, although I'm not really down with the whole 'living force ghost bound together by a robe' and would rather write it as that dark force 'possessing' some jedi/sith to give Nihilus a flesh form. Hopefully sequels to the series will shed light on Nihilus' origin. If they really want to mess our minds though, they can make it so that Nihilus is also Anakin Skywalker's real dad, the dark force matter that impregnates him mom some 4000 years later.

I see her as being typically grey; the purpose justifies the means, so she uses whatever aspect of the force she needs accordingly, without succumbing to the extremes. Unlike Jolee though, she isn't an old hippy and that might make her appear more dark than light.

Or here. Downloads seemed to work for me.

I think that you cannot use the ingame updater anymore and have to download the update manually.

I fear it is a corrupt save file then that has messed up your game, for which only earlier game saves and installation of relevant updates seem to be the only way out of that loop, as noted by others. Have you managed to progress past this part of the game before? At worst try starting before you arrive at Nar Shaddaa and saving often in different slots; it's likely some triggers in the game didn't change when they should have appropriately, so the save file is messed up. If that doesn't help though, uninstall any mods (if you have any installed) and try again, perhaps there's a conflict of sorts with them that causes your grief. I also found that defragmenting my harddrive and doing a clean install of TSL made things run smoother. On a related note, does anybody know of a bug-fix mod for Nar Shaddaa (aside from TSLPR, when/if it gets released), as there have been for Peragus? Maybe something like that could help.

This happens ehen you have to go meet the Exchange boss in the toxic bar; you cannot deviate and go into any other modules.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight...

Appologies, that 'your' was addressed to those related to the mod's development. My mistake! I disagree with that, but fair enough though. You needn't make time-consuming video previews to give people updates. I simply think it would be easier and clearer to make a textual update ("this and this is done, that needs to be done, this won't be done, catcha y'all later"), rather than relying on Mantis (which is not reliable lately, from what I understand) or having to go through all sorts of posts on a forum. Furthermore, the bug counter and Mantis is not meant to be an indication of when the mod will be completed and if you're going to take the time to make announcements in your forum, is it really that much of a burden to summarise it in two or three sentences and make it easily accesible on your main page? Casual users (who haven't been following the mod's progress for months or years to know any of this or whatever) are more likely to click on your progress report tab, see nothing's been added in over year and assume the project has died out or been abandonded. Perhaps you should mention that you will not be adding any further progress reports on your main page to avoid such confusion. In any case this discussion seems to be a bit off-topic, so how is it going?

No, I did bother to read them; I've been following the development of this mod for the past 3 years. The last updates on the mantis page are dated, at a quick glance, 17th of December 2008. How much has changed since then? In any case, I was also making reference to the progress reports, the last of which is dated October 22nd, 2007: That is over 14 months ago. You mean to tell me that since that between 22.10.07 and 17.12.08 there has been nothing to really talk about, nor warrant another progress report? Fair enough! If you're going to be cryptic about the progress on your mod, what's the point of making any such information public in the first place? Don't assume that anyone interested in your mod will want or care to sign up to yet another forum. Peace.

I'm sure you've been doing loads, but I'm working with what you guys and gals bother to report and what you (as in the team, not yourself personally) have reported is very little. The most concrete thing I've seen (as with most people waiting for the mod's eventual release) about it is the leaked beta and we all remember the ridiculous overreation and flame wars that came as a result. No updates, no videos, just the odd comment and reiteration of your game-plan and strategy. Other than that, you've got to admit that there's been sweet f.a. to talk about. Great to hear that Dash is back, hopefully the project will come back to life! All the best!

Apart from the leaked beta last year, there's not much to talk about, just some promises made that this will get released some day in the future and the understanding that their team leader (understandably) has more pressing matters to attend to in real life. Other than that, nothing's changed effectively, no updates, videos, pictures or anything in over a year. happy waiting.

True, but from what I gather KotOR and TSL are a bit problematic with newer cards, so it might better to get an older one instead, to avoid any potential veins popping in your forehead! Granted, for newer games you will want a nicer/newer card and a load of RAM.

You need the RAM dude and crucially your graphics cards might be a bit of a problem if it's ancient.
