Freedom Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 I'm not asking that you include a toolset or anything with KotOR II, although that would be unreasonably awesome, but there is a whole mod community that I was once part of that had to struggle to do anything in KotOR. We only recently were able to import and export models into the game, and even then, we can't import animations. The community grew due to the efforts of a select few individuals who we all appreciated. But we still can't make custom area models, and are limited in nearly every aspect. I'm just asking that the least you could do for the mod community is release a stable importer and exporter for models. Many would appreciate it Obsidian.

ampulator00 Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 I agree, but I don't think they will do it. I guess I'm have to get Neverwinter Nigths 2 instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say this since it's not Biowares site <_< . Bioware has got to be one of the most snottiest, uptight forum moderators around. They close topics for every friggen thing!!! It's like you can't say anything there. I feel so bad for people who are new to the forums and say something that gets the cold, snotty "End of line :angry: " bit from either that Stanley Woo guy or someone else. I wish they'd lighten up.

Blackbishop Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 The Model format has been asked for many times, and Akari said he would not mind giving out the model format, if it was up to him. Also the tools that you use will be likley 98% compatiable. They know what's going on over a lucusforums.(spelling /) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Cast in Deepest Night Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Was there any specific reason why the toolset of model formats were not going to be released? Was that a Lucas Arts decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have always been afaird of modder's every since Dark Forces can out and saw what modders were doing with doom. Above was from memory about modding Dark forces in a game magazine.

Judge Hades Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 WHy should they make the current tools work anyway? The game isn't meant to be moddable. If you want a moddable game get one with a tool set in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a moddable game get one with a tool set in it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you like five or something ? Did you know that both KOTOR 1 and 2 are based on the Neverwinter nights engine ? Which has tool sets for it. But I guess you dont like playing beyond the game that you have and dont like fps mods for halflife (counterstrike was a mod) or quake 1-3 for that matter either <_< If I created the SW universe I would be more afraid of fanfic, you can't control what they write. I was so hoping to enjoy some really cool mods for kotor from people. Modding kotor would of been the perfect platform for new fanfic, in regards that you are able to play the story. :ph34r: So grow up not everbody is out to put Vader in a sexy little teddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Cast in Deepest Night Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Despite the game being "Unmoddable" there are still many talented people out there trying to add new content to KOTOR despite how difficult it is. There a few mods already. Nothing fancy but it is the best the can do with what they have. One look at the NWN community should be enough to see what a toolset can do and how much life it can give to a game. Pity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbishop Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Agreed.... Not only does it build brand recongation, it also has the advantage of selling more games, and breeds in loyality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth333 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 This has been discussed various times in the past: See these posts amonst others: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?sh...indpost&p=25967 and http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?sh...indpost&p=19954 About the format, we have this info: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=1564&hl= For now, the tools we have are listed here As tk102 once said, we are not even asking for a toolset, we can make our own tools. What would be nice, would be to have some documentation, even very informal. I don't have a problem with the devs not releasing a toolset: it is time and $$$ but some information, especially on the model format, would me more than welcomed by the modding community. There is no point is banning the whole discussion about mods like bioware did.
