Darth Khasei Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 I checked my site stats and more than 50 people have downloaded it. It would be really nice to know your thoughts/feelings about the mod, thx. Hmm, maybe everyone is busy playing the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxss Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Extremely cool, I love the combination of flame/poison damage with the effect of the force push together... Downloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Khasei Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Glad somebody likes the DS like me:D This all started out fairly innocently when I wanted something that could disgust and repel those smart arses on Mananan without penalty of course. The Mananan choker and the Choke anyone mods are must haves for any true DS player. In reviewing those scripts I realized that a new force power could be a nice addition to the DS players of the community. I thought about it more after seeing Lord of Illusions for the 100th time LOL. While I enjoy most of the DS powers, I felt something more veil and disgusting was needed. So I started to work on this mod. The original idea was just a taint that once activated anyone that comes too close to the DS PC would be replused and slightly poisoned due to the virulent nature of the force exuding from the DS player. However, once I got to tinkering I figured out that a new force power would be a better mod for the community at large. I had to do ALOT of testing/adjusting to get all of the damage and visual effects to work correctly in combination with each other. I showed it to my nephew and he thought it was "totally cool" so I decided to release it upon the community. Hope you enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorden Darkblade Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Let me ask you something, could you make a Choke MOD but for every planets including Taris? I know it is a lot of work but if you need any help I'm here. Please just think about it. It would be very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Khasei Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Hey Reload check your Bandon thread bro:cool: The choker mod up on PCgames by Tk102 is the one you want. That one chokes the closest non team member with a 17 meter range upon activation. Careful with it though because it can choke trough a closed door abd such. I accidently killed a prisoner I was to free using it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Cool looking mod, I would use it, but I play lightside only most of the time, but I will download it judt in case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Khasei Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 The penalty is minor by the time the power comes into play. Oh just wait my friend I have some AWESOME LS stuff in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorden Darkblade Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 2 things: 1st: Very very very nice Force Power I loved it! 2nd: i dont know if this is supposed to happen, the description of the Power is not showing, instead I get this msg: Bad StrRef. Have I did something wrong? But still is a very good work! Keep up with these good jobs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Khasei Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Yeah It was recommended not to mess with the games string table files, although I have seen a couple of things done I could not do. SO it is correct, no name just the pictures of the powers and the badstrgref thingy is so that it does not crash and there is no need to provide an additional modded file. Glad you like the force power. It took me a little more time than it should have, because getting the effects and scripting correct was a bear. BTW, just a word of advice to those that want to mod that involves scripts(this is programming) SYNTAX! SYNTAX! SYNTAX! One wrong character or period here or there and the complier will NOT work. Also, make sure your script makes (computer) sense because evenyhough the varibles are defined, if they are not used correctly or incorretly combined with each other, the complier won't work. CHeers!

Darth333 Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Nice work! this is interesting to me since i made a force power that turns ennemies into allies during a certain amount of time. Right now i have it as an armband but i want to turn it into a real force power. Once this is done I also have to test it a bit more and get an icon (for this I have recruited the Super Photoshop Master: svösh ) before releasing it. Err...do you still want me to review the k_inc_force.nss? I chekced it earlier today and there are a few strange things... the destroy droid power wouldn't have any effects when compiled. Did that happened to you? I have no problem changing the duration of FP though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ID switch sounds off the hook! To be honest I never messed with the destroy droid power. I think it is one of those lite light side powers that I on the DS see as a bit of a waste. One or two good electric shocks or an Ion grenade does just fine with most droids in the game, that or a force jump strike and blammo! I've got a few more modding ideas in the works as it has become a bit of an addiction:devburn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddom Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Excellent ! And good background story too. I don't want to sound like your english teacher, but maybe you should pay more attention to spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Khasei Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Thanks Meek. It was late when I wrote that up. I think spell check was not working:D Glad you like the force power and the background story. I figured there needed to be some kind of story that helps explain where the powers came from and why they are DS oriented. I was tinkering around with some scripting and visual effects stuff again and came up with some interesting stuff for new powers. Once I complete the testing and do the write up I'll release that as well. PS.Love your DS art works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colma Adawin Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 hey Darth Khasei, your Dark force powers look amazing! but i was wondering if you could create a force power without poison? it just seems that your force powers are based apon poison and i was thinking, lets get some powers without poison? if thats ok with you. MattCole P.S. ITS MY 100th POST!!! HELL YEAH!!! I JUST CANNOT BELEIVE I'VE DONE ONE HUNDRED POSTS!!! I'M CHUFFED TO LITTLE MINT BALLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattCole I agree, also another thing that I think is that you should perhaps think of not using visiual effects cuz in the movies there is no visual effects . Still, they are very nice Force Powers!

Darth Khasei Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hey guys glad you like the new powers. I knew about that mod and it is perfect for those that do not want the awesome visuals that come with the force powers in the game. They add a nice little bit of spice and variety to the game IMHO. But like Tk102 said, the mod is already out there that removes the force visuals, give it a shot. Regarding the virulent aspect of these force powers. The poison and choke based scripts are the easiest to work with for a non programer like me. What I did do though is varied the poison effects so that each one has a different chance/level of poisoning. In addition, the type of damage, save chances, other damage aspects of the powers make them all different and unique. Poison is just "one" aspect of the scripts that has a chance to cause damage there are many others. These are multi tiered powers that attack the victim in several ways. BTW, IMHO many of the force powers in the game are just too nice. These are supposed to be the most evil veil people in the galaxy, capable of wiping out entire planets. Those kinds of guys would be whipping biological weapons around like candy! LOL! TK102, man I must have tried over 50 different visuals over the last few days. I'll give those entires a look asap.

tk102 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 TK102, man I must have tried over 50 different visuals over the last few days. I'll give those entires a look asap. Just to make sure we're on the same page -- the numbers I listed there were for the 'name' and 'spelldesc' fields. You can search for other things too using KTLK or KotorTLK available on PCGameMods site. in reference to this Yeah It was recommended not to mess with the games string table files, although I have seen a couple of things done I could not do. SO it is correct, no name just the pictures of the powers and the badstrgref thingy is so that it does not crash and there is no need to provide an additional modded file.
