Well, my team really isn't exactly doing the Galaxy Forge Mod like everyone suspects. We are creating a new game called Knights fo the Old Republic: Ancient Empires. This game will feature new party members, characters, planets, items, force powers, classes, quests and sidequests. There will be about 12 planets in all when its completed and is based on the Galaxy Forge. I have built a temporary free webs site where some screenshots and summaries will be posted. Enjoy!!

 

The site is at: http://www.freewebs.com/kotor2/

 

Edit: Will any one host a forum and/or a website for this game???

if your making new planets, can you explain gow you have added them to the star map, or have you just modded what tk102 released with the 4 new entries. Another thing, if you have new planets, i fail to see how you have retextured these and kept the original textures on the original planets, so, can you explain how you did this aswell without model editing.

Well 2 of the old visitable planets won't be visitable anymore. As for what this will be. It'll be sorta like an expansion to kotor, but sort of like a standalone. Note that u will need KOTOR to play this mod. The 4 planets counts 3 continuously visitable worlds, and one large continuosly visitable large area, available on the galaxy map. There will be many suprises in this mod that we hope u will enjoy.

Not that long, before kotor2 comes out indefinately. We will be realeasing the game in order of quests. Kotor Ancient empires (kotor:ae) is not only the game but one of the main quests as well and it is about 20% done with retextures and all, so kotor: ae wont take long to complete.

I have my own little server here, right next to me, and while I sure as hell can't do anything (until the model gets cracked), if someone builds a site, send it to me, and I can get it up. If you want, that is.

This sounds like a spectacular mod, it would definately make my must download list. I have a couple of questions I hope you don't mind answering...

 

1) How do you plan to incorporate this, is this going to be a rewrite of the original game? Meaning once installed I can only play the original game if I reinstall it from scratch (which is what I guess will be)

 

2) How are you planning on making new worlds such as Coruscant? How big will these worlds be?

 

3) I noticed in your site it talks about the various new party members through 6 main quests from which I could identify 3:

a) The one set around the same timeline as KotOR 2, 5 years after the original.

b) The one where you play as Ajunta Pall.

c) The one 1K years after KotOR playing the descendant of Revan.

 

I noticed in the first you described party members as Revan, Bastila, Canderous, etc with new ones such as Chemix, and Exar Kun..is Exar Kun a ghost in the party seeing as he died 30-40 years before KotOR?

 

And for the second, are you making a new timeline? Marka Ragnos lived a 1,000 years before KotOR not 3,000. His death led to the Civil War between Naga Sadow's faction and Ludo Kressh. Is this the setting that will follow Ajunta Pall's story? Or a new one?

 

Finally how will you handle new models (If at all) for example for Kun, Ragnos, etc? Will you be using the generic ingame charcaters with reskins or have you found out how to make new models for KotOR?

 

Sorry for all the questions, this really looks like a promising mod, best of luck to you!

Exar Kun will be a ghost

 

Yes there will be new planets, but we don't want to give them all away already

 

The installing prcocess will involve copying all of kotors files to a new folder, placing a new icon on ur desktop and doing other stuff which I will not disclose yet, I dunno how much MGNails wishes to say about that yet

 

We aren't going to say all the quests, because that is to be a suprise, that and I dunno if MGNails wants to say anything bout that.

 

I think MGNails made a typo on that one, it will be 1,000 years before kotor. The storyline for that is semi based on ajunta paul's dialog but not completely dependant on that. It depends on what one chooses ingame

 

We have yet to crack to format so, until that gets cracked no new models. but when it/if is cracked I think we'll take advantage of such a valuable resource as new models

Exactly. And if any of you haven't visited the team members page and wonder why Chemix knows and says all of this stuff, its because he is Co-Supervisor.

 

EDIT: Not really, our Kotor version of Marka Ragnos will differ from the JA one. This really wont follow the storyline of any other game in some ways.

some suggestions for the website :

 

make sure to put on EVERY page a small blurb with stuff like

 

"star wars and kotor are copywrited and reguistered trademarks of lucasarts in the united states and other countries , the engine is copywrited and owned by bioware corp."

 

lose the 2 from the link , there is already a kotor2 and if lucasarts sees fit they will shut you down for just that one little number , but having the blurb above (better written of course) should cover you butts in the long run

 

put in you need a full copy of kotor for this mod to run , point out it is only a mod and not a new game

 

though even with all the above if LA decides they want you to stop making this then you will have to stop doing in instantly otherwise they can own your butts in court , they own star wars and everything that goes and they can and will win any court case they bring about

 

im not trying to sound anything but helpful here , if you dont like what i said to bad :p

anyone may join wether they have modding skills or not, when the new forum is finished, any one can join and not have to be a team members. BTW, the same deal still holds for those who join., every team member will have their own custom character incorporated into the game.

great!!! Be careful with the forums, they arent fully edited, some of the links take you to his other forums. SO, try to only click on register and forum announcements. If you click on User cp, theres no way back yet. Also dont click on the members list because that leads to his other forum, when he gets back online, these things will be corrected.
