mgnails Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 LMAO, Chemix wrote the storyline. I only did a little of it. We have modding tools already BTW. The only thing that isnt fully understood I think is the model format. I do believe that every other aspect odf the game has a pretty good editing tool for it except for the model format. I know there isnt a tool for coding but there is one for scripts and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgnails Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Well, I wanted T3 to be a servant droid because he was absolutely useless in KOTOR 1. Juhani died because she was a whiner and had homosexual problems and Carth dies or is killed because it seems many hate Carth's guts. And it was Return of the Jedi BTW. The unknown world was a bit boring but there will be quite a few areas added too it. The biggest add on is an underwater part where you can use lightsabers underwater and fight creatures underwater with more than just a sonic emitter. One of you party members is recruited on the Unknown World and he isnt a Rakatan. A jedi if you can believe that. We havent finished the DS plot yet, but there will be quite a few spots ingame where you can choose to go DS or stay LS so there are more options and sidequests. The DS plot of course will have different party members, dark lords and mercenaries of course. Hence the Dark Lord class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

severxsever Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Well, I've got to say that I'm sad to see Juhani get h4xxed, but I guess that she and her homosexual problems did warrant ueber OMG pwning of the highest degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgnails Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Well, If the combat engine recoding goes as planned we will surley add multiplayer. We were also going to change around the swoop racing so that you can actually race against opponents and shoot them down and all of that instead of just trying to beat their times. Swoop racing I think should be more of a pod racing sport where you can sabotage other people's swoop bikes. We were thinking of making swoop racing really interesting by making a swoop bike upgradeable. It's very possible to do and it would sort of be covering for Bioware since they said in an xbox strategy guide that you could upgrade your swoop bike and ebon hawk (i dont think it was a strategy guide but I know they said it somewhere.) Swoop bikes should be upgradeable if the sport is to become that much more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgnails Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 ok........... I think I forgot to mention Kamino, When its finished, I was thinking of releasing that as some sort of press release demo or something just so you can play through new models and such.

mgnails Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 That may be. I have no clue how to code so Im not wure if thats possible. But our lead programmer Warrior.ex aka element x said that he would try to recode the combat engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrotheriswatching Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Also, you may end up with more party members mentioned as I have almost discovered a way to make it so you can take more than just 2 party members with you and how you can have more than just 9 party members. To my knowledge this is hardcoded...good luck. I guess "almost discovered" says it all <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgnails Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 No, Its not hard coded, its just figureing out how the GUI's work. I am viewing the party selection screen in the gui and already found out how the dimensions of the boxes work. To get more party members id just have to edit the dimensions of the boxes, copy them and change a few words and that should do it though i havent tested it yet. I did change the gui to the party selection screen to prove to you that its not hard coded and Ill post the download in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrotheriswatching Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 That's the thing: it involves much more than resizing the gui screen. It not the design of the party selection table that is hardcoded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgnails Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Heh, sorry, its named partyselectscreen.gui. That may be but it appears that in the gff editor, you can add new buttons and such by copying the gff trees and editing them to take you to different locations, Im sure there must be some coding involved but I think that there are just locks on the gui that keep you from having more thn two party members at a time which I am looking for so I can change it. There appear to be alot of locks on things in that gui which i have removed almost all of them and nothing is different. <sigh> its just a possiblity and not written in stone yet. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgnails Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 I agree. We still need revans padawan to have a name. Revans as in your PC's padawan. And for the intrest of romance sidequests the padawan will be female. You will have 3 possible romances for male and 3 possible romances for female.

GhostofAnakin Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 This seems like a rather big undertaking, especially when there's still various things you can't do with the models. Instead of trying to do so much (9 planets?), why not focus baby steps, such as 4 planets, and work on a good storyline. There's no need for a new combat engine, there's no need for playable swoop(pod) racing. What most people want is a new story, with new planets. I think IF you are indeed capable of doing that, then that's what you should concentrate on. I mean, it took Bioware, what, 2 YEARS to complete the game with 7 planets, and NO playable swoop racing, yet you intend to do something in 6 MONTHS with more planets, and a more integrated swoop racing feature?

mgnails Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 it took bioware 3 years and that because they spent alot of time on their engine plus they were making things from scratch. This is a branch off of thier work so it wont take 3 years to do it. At any rate, the download for my "edited" GUI is up. http://www.freewebs.com/kotor15/index.htm Its at the very bottom of the page.

That would also require a new model however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
