Sith Holocron

No, I haven't. Just waiting on TSLRCM 1.8, M4-78 EP, Exile007's GenoHaradan project, Quanon's Nar Shaddaa addition, Darth Insidious' Insidious Rhen Var, an unannounced project by bead-v, Malchor VI . . . etc.

I hoping to do some voiceovers for Trex's TJM 2.0.

I've been killing time playing TOR.

How about with you? Any projects?

No, I made my avatar in Paint Shop Pro 5. (Yes, 5!) I took this image . . .

then added a glow effect. Then another picture with even more glow, And so on.

Then I compiled the series of images to make an animation.

Oh, I make them myself. I use a program called Xara3D5. They have newer versions out since I got it but if it still works on Vista, I'm going to use it.

Feel free to post a comment in the Happy Holidays thread!

Only because of you!

Thanks!

Perhaps you could add some input in this thread too?

Seeing as you're mentioned by name and all in it . . .

Please stop spamming Lucas Forums with multiple threads on TSLRCM 1.8.

Don't you know that there's an official release thread here already?

Your shameless promotion of the mod is bringing bad credit to the TSLRCM 1.8. This isn't a personal attack against the mod, by the way. (I'm mentioned in the read-me by name, if you'll take note.)

Please . . . stop hurting us.

Point one: This is an opportunity for the Mandalorian that the player rescues from your Korriban Expansion to make a reappearance. Time to chat with Zhaboka? Of course, that would have to happen after Korriban obviously.

Point two: If you need another Mandalorian in such a scene, I'm volunteering!

Re: Targus' model

On the page I linked to, there's a notation about where the lasers come out of the model.

"The shots will be fired from just under the 'red circle', which looks quite cool, I must say. stick out tongue If you have the original, this update is well worth it."

You might want to take that location into account for your skin of that model. BTW, the animations only work for the 2.0 version of the model.

Read the forum rules . . .

"Mods containing assets (models, textures, sounds, etc.) ported from another game are prohibited

It is against Lucasarts policy to port assets from one game to another. Holowan Laboratories does not condone porting of this nature, and moderators will close or delete any thread or posts discussing such mods, even if it is for your own personal use. The exception to this is if the asset in question is present in both KOTOR and TSL. Modders may create from scratch mods that resemble assets from another game."

Redrob,

Might you know why your "head" videos can't be viewed on mobile devices? YouTube tells me so when attempting to view it on my Blackberry.

Remember that texture that I animated for you but you never released? If not, here's a quick reminder...

If you're not going to release it, I sure would like to. As it's only one texture (and a TXI file), it shouldn't be too much of a hardship to you. Of course, you would be credited. If you prefer it not being on the DS site, I could also put it as a Dropbox link instead.

Remember when I said that if that the secret revival project for a K1 mod? Do you also remember that I said if it either got released or the whole thing was cancelled that I'd tell you? SpaceAlex has released what has on K1 Enhancement Pack.

That's one mod out of two down. (The other is for K2 though.)

Shem of Filefront said in his original review of your "Coruscant - Jedi Temple Mod" the following . . .

"DeathDisco makes his FileFront debut bringing us that wish and he does it for TSL. The author is a veteran KOTOR modder at Holowan Labs who has made his way to putting up his first and his newest KOTOR mod here at FileFront. Hopefully he'll send in his older mods to us in the future for some new KOTOR gamers to enjoy!"

Have all of your older mods been uploaded to Filefront or have I missed out on a couple?

Since you were interested in updates, M4-78 EP has brought in a new beta tester and things are going along pretty well. It would be nice to get more beta testers but folks haven't exactly been busting down to door to volunteer.

On my end of things, I've begun recording my lines for the mod. Apparently Zbyl2 - the current project leader - likes what's he heard so far. M4-78 himself (itself?) will sound a little bit different than he did last time and that's not just because that I have a better microphone this time around.

Sithspecter, did you know there's a corrected version of your signature available? ("Revenge" is spelled incorrectly on your first-version copy.) Sharen Thrawn should be able to hook you up with it.

Later - back to work for me!

Someone I know is looking for someone up to a particular challenge: upping the resolution for both the "Sith Soldier" and the "Sith Commando" textures in TSL? Apparently there's a third slot that's unused, he was thinking an all black Sith.

Please let me know you might be game for such a thing and I put you two in touch with each other. (I might like to get copies of these too but I'll let you two work out the arrangements.)

Stoney,

A) You ought to send Logan the sound file so he can hear what I did with those sound files

B) I hope someone does all the work you, Quanon and Glovemaster did up proud for Scrapyard.

C) Time for me to visit Yahoo Messenger!

Thanks for the belated.

If you need something to deal with sound clips, might I suggest picking up Audacity? It's free and you'll likely find it useful.

Thanks for the compliment. Some of the frames had to be recreated in order to get the best animation but I think it turned out OK.

Folks seem disappointed that I went away from the Holocron one but I felt it was time to spruce up the profiles.

I'll probably switch back to the Holocron one after the M4-78 EP is finally released. (I might make the holocron glow in a different color though.)

Thanks for the reply, DI. I'll ask JCarter about permissions.

Have you considered putting the resource up at DeadlyForums in the interim?

Thanks!

The final version is just slightly a bit different - as I used the top down version of the Ebon Hawk.

That has been not revealed even to me. Zbyl's been teasing about that - hence the multitude of saber color in the teaser video. (You'd think I'd know considering I made those polls over at Deadly Stream.)

Personally, I think Vash should have a "silver" blade. Kaah - IMHO - should be decided by a vote. However, it's not up to me. I'll probably find out after everyone else. Ten to one, a lot of people will play M4-78 EP before I do after it released before me. I've been so busy lately . . .

The flight was hellacious. I needed to sleep as I had to be at work the next day at 545 and I was to get home at 1130. (That late arrival was thanks to a flight delay.) All through the flight was a screaming child behind me. Ugh.

Good news about the computer though!

The holocron shall return here (and at Deadly Stream) when M4-78 is released.

Don't like the new avatar?

The latter.

You do realize you've now just announced you're working on it publicly, right?
