uru Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Well I'm posting this here because this is the only forum I've been following here so hopefully all of you will understand. At any rate I've been playing KOTOR for about a month, on my Xbox however, and have beaten it on both LS & DS. I enjoyed the game so much I went out and purchased the PC game as to dive deeper into it, not only with gameplay but modding of course. Following this board for the past 3 days I've already grabbed most of the great mod's/mod tools, thanks to you guys and your organization and developements. Currently briefing myself on scripting area creations and reskins, I've already successfully modded and created a few items, so I guess that's a start. Anyhow I host a clan site for another game I frequent from time to time, and am willing to help any of you who are having hosting issues, or even make a centralized DB on one site for all mod's+links to their appropriate creator's homepages. Whatever you guys want to do I leave it in your hands. If I get any takers http://www.voc-clan.com/kotor/ will be created (it's not up yet) and we can go from there. Although I do host it I'm reluctant to give anyone server access as of right now, so at the moment it will have to be filtered through me. Just to inform of spec's I have more space than I will more than likely ever need combined with a 2 terabyte bandwidth limit per month so that shouldn't be an issue either. Anyone interested can reply here, PM me here, or email me at: durion@voc-clan.com Again thanks for all of your hard work with everything, and I hope to add more to the community in the future.

uru Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 anytime man, figured it would be easier for most of you instead of always having to email them directly to people. I'll be around so just shout at me whenever you need em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk102 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hello uru, and welcome to the board. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would welcome a hosting site for a mod-db. However, we've heard this promise two times before (see here and here) , so please excuse us if we seem gunshy. Thank you for offering, and I hope you are able to commit to your offer!

uru Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 haha I understand man, I just started work on it a few minutes ago, by this I mean grabbing all of the current mods/utils to my hd and u/ling them to the server db along with all of your homepage links. Hopefully I'll have an integrated db done by the end of today, with author/homepage, name of util/mod, filesize, filename, and description. Going to conjur up a javachat IRC client real quick too that will attach to my network, so if any of you feel like chatting realtime in a #kotor or something of the sort we can. I'll keep you posted, no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uru Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 Alright I'm almost done here, linking up screenshots, and writing descriptions. Obviously I hope none of you mind that I'm using most of your exact descriptions for your mod's, you all have credit stated anyway. Once that's completed I'll get the chat running and the index's will be uploaded. Just keeping all of you posted. _pun.. .intended?_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T7nowhere Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Welcome to the Forum. I am looking forward to seeing the site. I just hope you are committed to making and maintaining a site of this type. Forgive some of us that seem skeptical, myself included> It's just that In the short Active history of this Forum There have been alot of promises made, but they never followed though. I get the sense your different though. *crosses fingers* here's hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uru Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 Thanks for the welcoming. :> Well the descriptions is taking a bit longer than I thought it would, just finished it up now for the mod's page. I have no problem what so ever with hosting this for everyone, but in all honesty and logic if people want their mod's/ss's/scripts hosted on it they'll have to feed me their updates when they occur, I won't be able to search them out daily, so in a sense, I do my part, you guys do yours, fair enough.

LukeKatarn Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 uru it will not let me on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uru Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 I haven't uploaded the indexes yet. I can't stand making unfinished stuff public. Working on some chat variables, should be up soon, I'll post everything here don't worry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T7nowhere Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Originally posted by uru if people want their mod's/ss's/scripts hosted on it they'll have to feed me their updates when they occur This is exactly what many have wanted all along, just a place where they could upload files to. I don't see a problem with asking people to submit mods. That makes the most sense. How are you arranging the mods. Aare just going to start by haveing a couple pages with pic(if possible) and the mod or are you planning of making sometype of searchable data base down the road.

uru Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 Well it's about to go live here momentarily. A searchable db will defenitely be something to do maybe even as soon as a few days or so, I just through this together and got sidetracked a few times unfortunately. The Java chat is up and working, and everything else is listed in the order they appeared in the stickies, I know I should've at least alphabetized them sorry. anyhow Kotor Mod Mainframe I'll add more to the graphical part of the site later, at least we have something to work with. *edit* Also feel free to give any suggestions or criticisms, I already double checked all links and the chat so no need to be too frantic. But I'm definitely open to opinions and scrutiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk102 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Should we contact you via the Contact page if we need to update something or...? I need to update something already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uru Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 well whatever you want to do, just email with whatever update you want parsed into the db, maybe today I'll work on a search by author, that would be the easiest cleanest way to go about it. At any other rate, any suggestion on the interface or anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom_Dealer Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 sweet mate, are you going to divide it into sub catogaries though??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uru Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 well shoot me some ideas, if we make this more of a community project it will be all the more worthwhile. I just read tk102's post in another thread about integrating the attachments mod from phpBB,, I already have phpBB and IPB running on the server, the only problem would be how to instantly integrate it into the web interface already established. Personally I don't mind adding them manually but it's up to you guys so give me some ideas. About the sub categories, what would you like to see to make the interface more easily navigatable, ie. WHAT sub categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth333 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Welcome Uru. Your project looks promising. Here is a general idea of the kind of sub-categories that you could have. Items: - lightsabers - armor and clothes - other weapons - other Skins Additions to storyline (additional sidequests) New npcs Other I know that T7 has been working on regrouping all the mods so perhaps he has a better idea of what those categories should be.

uru Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 ah very good thank you Darth333, I'll wait for additional input from him also and then I'll get to work on the regroups. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uru Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 I also have reread the posts about MOTOR, is this still the general consensus? I can rename it no problem. If anyone would like to work on a more legit looking banner () for MOTOR feel free to send them, I'll get up SS's and let the community vote on what banners, or just randomize them.

That was a long time ago...I' m afraid that if we start this discussion again we may not get anywhere. Wihtout wanting to debate this question I would go for something simple like Kotor Mods (for me, MOTOR sounds like car stuff). But you decide.

Darth_Grandpa Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Great start on your site! Everyone who I've bugged about hosting, I guess I found my answer. I agree some some of the previous posters that you should categorize the mods eventually. Although KoTOR modding isn't as big as some other games, it still would be a good feature to have ready. You never know.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
