eidospsogos Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 [EDIT] there is finally a host for the armor. here is a link to the files as they exist right now. a slight re-skinning project is in mind as well, but check out the stats of the armor and share your opinions. here's the link (and a very big THANK YOU to Shimaon for hosting the files): http://www.gknetworks.net/kotor/Exar_sArmor.zip okay, first of all it looks the same. i loved the look just thought the stats were fairly laughable. so i created two versions of it myself. both are UPGRADABLE. i made one for early in the game, so things wouldn't be TOO easy running around with a super bad@ss armor. which would bring me to my second armor. now titles as Exar Kun's Battle Armor. trust me you won't find any other in-game armor as good as this. i gave these items to myself using the override folder and the holowan emporium. both arnors override the original armor for exar kun. so you pretty much would have to buy one of them, save, exit, swap the files in the override folder, load the game and get the other one. files in your inventory are NOT overriden by item overrides. only new items, such as those in stores, or found along the way are affected by item files in your override folder. now as to why i started this thread. i have seen many people, who liked exar kun as much as myself and thought the poor stats of his armor insulting. so i figured why should all exar kun fans be disappointed. so if some nice person wants to host these two mods on their site then i would be forever grateful. otherwise, if you would like the armor, leave your email, or pm me with your email, and i will send it to you. i really don't know how many people will truly be interested in these, i just know i had seen some posts reflecting the same disappointment i had in his armor.

Darth Stryke Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I agree that his armor needed new stats. I am also working on reskinning it, because for some reason I did not like the copper color of the armor for Exar Kun. I liked the look of the armor itself, I just do not think it fit Exar Kun's personality and look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 actually the reason i liked it was because it did fit exar kun. if you look at the avatar to the left, that is a pic of exar kun in his armor. they did a VERY good job of making the armor look like something he did wear or would have worn. i know he was a sith lord. but NOT the stock character sith lord, in all black with a red saber. and that's what made him so great in my opinion. he was not the stock villian. and the brown/neutral/tan/copper, whatever color you want to call it, fits his character perfectly.

Darth Stryke Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Well, I agree with you about the character itself, but I have not seen a picture of Exar Kun wearing Copper-colored armor before. Every picture I have seen of Kun, he wore silver or black armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 well the pic i have came straight from the comics. i'll email it to you if you like, as the actual image is much bigger than the avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Stryke Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Well, I have seen that picture of him before, I just assumed it was the lighting that did that. Anyways, how big is the file to be hosted-I might be able to host it temporarily on my angelfire site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 altogether, in one folder, it is a whopping 64 KB. as by the size on disk reference anyway. the actual size is 5.25 KB. so zipped up pretty small. and by the way, though i love exar kun, i tend to still lean towards the lightside. so the pic i have is probably either shortly before, or shortly after his fall. i am sure his armor became more darkside oriented as time passed. but bioware's representation of it was fairly close to what it originally was.

Darth Stryke Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I will host the file-at that size it is no problem. I just hope too many people don't hit it too fast, otherwise angelfire will suspend the download temporarily. Send it to StrykeAzrael@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 i will email it to you as soon as i can figure out what the original baseitems.2da defense rating for this item is. i edited mine, and as i just clean-sweeped my main hard drive, have yet to install kotor again. i would like anyone downloading this to get at LEAST the same item i had. so if i upped anything in my baseitems.2da, then they would be getting less than what i intended the armor to be.

Darth Stryke Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I sent a reply, but I can post it here as well. The base ac for any class 6 armor is 6. The class number that the armor has corresponds to its base ac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 okay. i'm getting ready to send it to you. i included a readme with instructions. first time i've distributed anything i've done. do me a favor and test it out, and see if everything looks and works alright. if you don't find any bugs, post alink for the download. if you do find bugs, email me and let me know.

Darth Stryke Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Just a fast question before I post it. It worked fine, but I am just making sure. The only difference between the 2 armors is the defense bonus, correct? Just making sure because the "weaker" version is the same, just with a lower def bonus.

eidospsogos Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 well, there is a huge difference once the armor is upgraded. did you upgrade both? if so, and you did not see the bonuses added for the one with the higher defense bonus let me know. i may have to install kotor again over the weekend if not.

Darth Stryke Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Oh, I was talking about non-upgraded. The upgraded ones have the different bonuses and seem to work fine. So, with that said, this link *should* work. http://www.angelfire.com/cantina/stryke/Exar_sArmor.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidospsogos Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 as said in the first post, the armor looks no different than exar kun's light battle suit. since i personally liked the look of that armor and felt it a very good representation of exar's armor (before his long trek down the dark path as stryker and i have discussed). if people want to re-skin it, that's up to them.

eidospsogos Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 thnaks alot for hosting the items. i appreciate it. as i said before, i'm not too sure how much interest this will actually generate. but i saw no reason to just leave it sitting on my hard drive. anyone with any opinions feel free to share.

Darth Stryke Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Well, between the 2 mods I had on my site, angelfire stopped the downloads because of too many people downloading. So, we need to find someone else to host this now. I was afraid it would happen. I am really sorry about this-thats why i was worried about it when i offered to host it. Does anyone have a site they can host like 2 mods on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolinar Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I dont have a site to host that stuff on but I would like to cheat and have one of you email me that Exar Kun armor...

drakenon Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I just tried to download the Exar Armor myself and got the, "This site you attempted to access violated the Terms of Service, blah blah blah" message. I gathered that there were a lot of downloads off your site for it Stryker. If you wouldn't mind until another site is found sending them over to incoming@adelphia.net I would be grateful. Oh BTW in anyone's time playing through KotOR did they try the dancedancemalak cheat? Truly worth it I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
