Guest Dowie100 Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Theres a whole two paragraphs in the latest PC Gamer about Guess what, the incomplete Kotor2 situation with Aurora being credited with the discovery, hopefully next issue will mention the mod :D
Guest Dowie100 Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 it did, it said it was "promised" but yet to arrive, so you need to use cracks and edit ini files to get parts of the game to work, or play with better framerates
metadigital Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Three Cheers for Aurora and the team! :cool: Hip Hip OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Meshugger Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Congrats Aurora!

Guest Dowie100 Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Maybe the mod team could write an article, because each month PC Gamer UK, publisher user submited articles, it would be great publicity

Invoker Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 If they have any sense left in their skulls they'll leave it be. It would be disaster if they told Aurora to stop. It would be like telling all the modders in the NWN and BG-community that they are going to be fined for making a mod which enhances gameplay. Bugs? Klingon Software does not have 'Bugs'. It has FEATURES and they are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand! HK-47: "Recitation: First, weapon selection is critical. If I see one more idiot attacking a Jedi with a blaster pistol, then I'll kill them myself." HK-47: "Answer: Select grenades, sonic screamers, cluster rockets and plasma charges. Mines are also effective, since many Jedi will run to meet you in hand to hand combat. Silly Jedi."

Star Wars and TSL is the intellectual property of Lucasarts and they allow NO modding whatsoever, even if it would enhance the storyline. Even if it would make them look like selfish morons in the general gamers eyes, they have the lawful right to do so.

Wynne Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Oh, I would send them the nastiest letters ever if they tried to stop this restoration. When you insult the little guy AND the developer, you're insulting me. Twenty times over. I might even boycott the publisher. I doubt LucasArts would be that crazy, though. They're not Eidos yet.
Meshugger Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I remember when a System Shock 2-mod (with the Doom 3 engine) was shut down by EA since they own the rights of Looking Glass property. Not only the game is not for sale anymore, they simply closed it out of principle.

Drakron Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I doubt that ... I Emailed LucasArts over The Sith Lords and their replay was "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords? we dont recall publishing a game with such a name ...".

Muwhahahahahahaha" LucasArts leads by eample: The Way to The DARK SIDE is easier than you think ... will they be redeemed like a certain dark, mask-wearing character?

Right now, the idea is to minimize expenses, i.e. put as many fixes as possible in the pending patch since it will be the only one. Patches cost money, sales of games released 4 months ago aren't affected by patch releases or the lack therof and thus don't warrant any more investments beyond a token effort. No content patch, if some fans make one, great: less pressure on OE and LA.
GhostofAnakin Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Aurora just become number one on the Lucasarts hitlist. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)

Whitemithrandir Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Aurora doesn't need the fame. Aurora is the entity around which the entire world evolves. Aurora isn't. She simply IS. Word economics To express my vast wisdom I speak in haiku's.
Darth Flatus Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 True, but IF Lucasarts would go to such lengths to close down Auroras project. There will literally be hell to pay. I doubt fans and modders will allow it to happen. I know I won't. I'm not saying they will but stranger things have happened... IF LA were to halt the mod what could the fans and modders do? Nothing but whine about it on interenet boards ad infinitum. The truth of the matter is that this isnt a democracy. LA have the only say that matters
metadigital Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 [snip]Nah, they would probably just go underground and people would talk about "the restored" version of it, avoiding the word "mod". <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oooh, sorta like a real-life Farehheit 451 scenario ... where hundreds of filesharers each store one graphic model / subplot / miscellaneous derivative component each ... "... In other news today, software publisher LucasArts confirmed they had continued with their court approved action of 'putting [the] malicious software code beyond use' by burning at the stake all impounded computer equipment, droids and pirate-dog-costume-wearing miscreants. ... "Also, reports have been coming in from pet owners who have seen masked offenders 'going postal'. Authorities are treating it as serious, and advising anyone who sees a pet in prisoner robes to avoid them at all costs. These pets are dangerous, but as yet the two incidents are not being linked. ..." :D OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Aurora Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Wow, that's pretty cool - although I 1) would like to point out that someone by the name of thedigitalsin originally posted stuff on the boards about some of the cut sound files and 2) wish I had a more unique e-name. Thanks, Dowie. Anyone happen to have a scan of the mini-article, for, ah, informational purposes? I am following my fish. A temporary home for stranded ML'ers
Invoker Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 When the Mod comes out, it will not put LA in a good light, I reckon'. Mmmhmm. *cough* Bugs? Klingon Software does not have 'Bugs'.
