steelfiredragon Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 well it would be fun even if we had to create out own ship on one of the planets to go to another planet of custom make, as long as we use whats available, such as someone could make courasant Strength through Mercy Head Torturor of the Cult of the Anti-gnome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 i think they should allow skins and stuff, but not fully moddable. maybe a level editor.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastern64 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 For such a successful game, I don't see why not. Myabe they won't support mods, but it will still be a good thing to fiddle around with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofAnakin Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 for someone like me, who has no idea how to mod, it's a moot point. but in general, i think it'd add to the replayability of the game if it was easily moddable by those who can make more additions, whether they be levels, expansion stories, etc. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Wanderer Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 IMHO, something like that might be nice for later, but I don't think it's a good excuse to delay the game futher, thus making us wait even more to get it :angry: Despite the fact that many people who've played KOTOR has a negative view on it, I'm still very optimistic about the Februari release and can't wait to get my paws on the game :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archmonarch Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Im not even sure theyre allowed to make it moddable. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDoe Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Some moddability is always nice, I guess, since theres always the chance of someone greating a great one, but its not high on my list of priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oerwinde Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I don't care if they release tools or not, tools will come out as long as the game isn't a **** to mod. Mods would sprout up like mad for KOTOR if only the model format could be cracked, but until then all they can have is reskins. With KOTOR2 all I ask is that the team doesn't keep silent about stuff like that so mods can be made. No extra work on the dev's part except maybe a message board post.

Quasar Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Can we not simply have a few basic tools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Do you seriously think that LucasArts would want KotOR2 modable? They kept Bioware closing and deleting threads in their KotOR forums should be a clue that LucasArts HAVE NO FREAKING INTEREST FOR PLAYERS TO MOD THEIR GAME! Take a clue folks, Obsidian isn't going to make the game moddable for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dereth Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I agree with Hades (It had to happen sometime, didn't it?) the decision on how moddable (Is that a word?) the game is lies with LucasArts, not Obsidian. Which is basically the same as saying no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearless_Jedi Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I would love to have KOTOR II moddable but it probably wont happen due to Lucas Arts feelings about that, which i can understand. But if it was moddable I would love to be able to mod the whole she bang. And I would really like to make my own animations for the game...I am talking combat coreography!

Iolo Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Why wouldn't they want the game to be moddable? It improves the shelf lives of games when successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumquatq3 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 should obsidian leave the game modddable Wait, doesn't that imply it was modable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oerwinde Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 should obsidian leave the game modddable Wait, doesn't that imply it was modable? KOTOR was modable, to an extent. You could do new areas, new recruitable characters, new skins, etc, as long as you used the geometry that was already in the game. So you couldn't do anything really new because other than textures, you couldn't add any visual content to the game. Modders are trying to figure out how to crack the model format so they can add their own geometry to the game but so far I think the furthest they've gotten is being able to add their own geometry, its just not able to move. So they can add new static objects, but still can't edit character geometry, which is the big thing so they can add monsters and new equipment.

Fearless_Jedi Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I believe a dev already answered this question, if I remember correctly. The answer was NO!

GonkRaider Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Yeah, leave the game modable.. that not like dropping pandora's box in the hands of a moron or anything Once lucas arts stops creating starwars rpgs..then sure Its a smart move not to make the game more modable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iolo Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I am not sure I really understand why though. Have they given a definitive answer? I can understand 'not enough time, maybe next time' type of answer but the impression I got was that over at BioWare threads were locked for questions about being able to mod. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofAnakin Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Maybe Obsidian isn't as anal about it as Bioware was? As far as I recall, Bioware locked threads asking for links to any mods, probably because they didn't want to deal with people complaining that a mod had crashed their game and want Bioware to fix it.

Astatine Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Why wouldn't they want the game to be moddable? It improves the shelf lives of games when successful. Because Lucas[arts] can't stand the idea of someone trampling his precious Star Wars scenario with content he hasn't vetted and might not agree with...
