Achilles Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Originally posted by Gsccc That was very classy Achillies, thank you. EDIT:WHAT!?! YOU'RE GOING TO BAN ME FOR A JOKE?!?!!? BUT IVE WORKED TOO HARD TO DIE HERE!!!!!! Please dont ban me, i appologized and i thought we could kid around wont do it agian. You're welcome. I think you can joke around all you want as long as you aren't so serious when you do it Based on what the majority of the people here seem to think, I hope that it's obvious that your true intentions are not coming through too well. The written word is difficult to interpret sometimes so anything that you can do to help convey a sense of levity will probably go a long way toward clearing things up. Secondly, CAPS and exclamation points are generally considered SHOUTING!!! Less SHOUTING!!! and more :) will also help to soften the blow of a hearty joke. Lastly, people who peg you for being someone that blows up are likely to: a) avoid you b) placate you c) interpret everything you say as a temper tantrum Adopting the practice of "read twice, send once" will probably help you catch messages that might not say what you really want them to. And just so that no one thinks I'm a hypocrit, I generally always follow my rule so if something I say seems rude, it was probably intended to be (either that or I'm posting late and didn't catch it) This message is being offered as constructive criticism. It is my sincere hope that it is taken that way and that you find some benefit in it. Thanks for reading.

They are going to wait till you relese your alpha, then ban you BTW I love this beta cant wait till the alpha....
TheProphet Posted August 17, 2004 Author Posted August 17, 2004 Well, unfortuenetaly there will be like a 6 hour delay on the release today, i just checked out the stats for the factory on slehayron, there are 50 badguys!!!!!! This will take a while to enter in on the .git.
Achilles Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Originally posted by En liten mus They are going to wait till you relese your alpha, then ban you BTW I love this beta cant wait till the alpha.... Errr...generally it's the other way around. Devs have an alpha test before a beta test, not vice versa I hope that helps to clarify.
Darth333 Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Ok, it seems that people here either didn't noticed my post yesterday or chose to ignore it: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=1600699#post1600699. It wasn't the first warning. Sooo, guys, I'll use the lightning button: When I told you to get back on topic, it means to get back to a discussion about modding kotor. While this thread contains a lot of useful information about various aspects of modding, it is also becoming unreadable. If you want to chat, go on MSN or get an IRC channel. If people have something relevant to say about the mod and feedback to give it's ok and I encourage this but I don't want to see anymore comments like this one: "{see's a half a bottle of scotch next to gsccc} Uh-oh....." and the series of posts that followed. There is not point in trying to force the discussion with this kind of comments. When a thread gets cluttered with off-topic comments, it annoys other modders and it affects the credibility and the usefullness of the forum. I refer you to Prime's sticky about the rules on this forum: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=127725. Other thing, instead of making triple and quadruple posts, you can edit your last message. Even if the thread is not at the top of the page all the time, people know it exists and if they have something to post, they will find it. Now, get back on topic please. This means not discussing the present post but discussing modding Kotor and the Reign of the Sith Mod.
TheProphet Posted August 17, 2004 Author Posted August 17, 2004 Darth333 I respect your wishes to keep on topic and all and if you saw, i have been in my last post i said so, but i hardly believe that posts that try to lighten the mood such as what yoko said, are causing this to be unreadable, if you look at Fred Tetra's tread, there is like 100 posts that are stem offs from things talked about before or things that dont really matter. If people worry THAT much on the relevance of their posts and want to get THAT serious then i think it will subtract from the fun we all have when modding. Don't forget we are not ALL adults here, there are some 13, 12 and even 11 year olds posting and reading this forum. Please forgive me if I have crossed some line here, but as far as I have seen, we have stayed on topic pretty well, had there have been 15 posts on my little joke yea, maybe that should cause worry, but offtopic little things happen once in a while. I dont believe lightening the mood should cause this kind of problem. Also remember this isnt a buisness office, its a forum. It's not as controllable. Not everyone has MSN or an IRC. Please Darth333 dont take this the wrong way at all, soon we will be not allowing people to make comments like [Go gsccc, keep it up] because it is not "relevant" to feedback or critisism. If Kampher had'nt posted those types as well as everyone else, i probably would'nt be where I am today. Once again, I appologize if my words are not allowed, for my intentions are not to provoke or be rude, just to point out.
En liten mus Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 When will your mod be out since the 6 houer delay? I cant wait to just stuff all the file in my overrid and be the true dark lord of the sith in action. Edit: And Achillies i like to think of it as: Alpha: Primary Beta: secondary... Isry i just had to post that Darth333

On the contrary, I "encourage encouragements" and they are necessary to make people continue modding and I don't have anything against a touch of humor: it is a good and necessary thing . But some types of comments simply lead to irrelevant endless chatting and this is what we are trying to avoid ( btw, mirc is easy to get and there is plenty of free IM software).
Glamador Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 wat exactly does the lightening button do? and Gsccc can we get a few screenies of ur latest work? is sleheyron close to being released?
TheProphet Posted August 17, 2004 Author Posted August 17, 2004 Unfortunatelly there is going to be another delay on my mod. Ive been working VERY hard on this and En Liten Mus knows what i am talking about, its not as easy as it looks. When The release i give comes out. There will not be a whole bunch of voice overs and there will still be things to fix. Glamador, no i do not have any screenshots on the latest part of my mod but i will be making a video of the mod before I release it, I hope you can all forgive me for the delay.

TheProphet Posted August 18, 2004 Author Posted August 18, 2004 Hey, Darth333, is there a way for me to make the player take Darth Malin on the Itrepid with him/her? Can you show me that script?
Darth333 Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Err...what do you want to do exactly, add Darth Malin to your party? In this case, I will refer you to the How to recruit an npc in less than 10 steps tutorial: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=131944. If there is anything you need help with, just ask. If you want Darth Malin just to follow you in there, like the Sacha sidequest, it will have to be a scripted cutscene.
TheProphet Posted August 18, 2004 Author Posted August 18, 2004 No, i want him to be the only npc you can have and you HAVE to pick him. Like on the leviathon with Carth and bastilla.
Darth333 Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 Here are some possibilities: I haven't checked but I imagine the leviathan uses this systax: // RemoveAvailableNPC // This removes a NPC from the list of available party members // Returns whether it was successful or not int RemoveAvailableNPC( int nNPC ); and then // AddAvailableNPCByObject // This adds a NPC to the list of available party members using // a game object as the template // Returns if true if successful, false if the NPC had already // been added or the object specified is invalid int AddAvailableNPCByObject( int nNPC, object oCreature ); The other possibility, for the party selection screen (example: Bastila on Korriban) would be: // SetNPCSelectability void SetNPCSelectability(int nNPC, int nSelectability); // GetNPCSelectability int GetNPCSelectability(int nNPC);
TheProphet Posted August 19, 2004 Author Posted August 19, 2004 Ok, here is the deal. Technically I am done with the mod, but it isnt finished completely. I am going to let you choose right now if you want it released now or when i finish it completely. Pros for now -PEOPLE WILL STOP BADGERING ME ON MSN AND AIM TO RUSH IT -You will get to have the mod in its semi completed state and you will be able to go through the entire thing. Cons for now -There will be very little voice overs -You will have to make certain changes to your man -You will not be able to experiance the mod in it's full -You will have to under go patches that i will make to fix certain things. ============================================== Pros for Completed -You get to see the mod in its fullest -You get to have all cutscenes then -You get all the little tid bits -You dont have to edit your man, well, for the most part -You dont have to go threw the story agian, for patches Cons for Completed -You dont get it right now -You have to wait like a week
kampher Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 I deff. think we need to wait untill you have everything done. I would rather have it all done and complete.
Glamador Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 a week is pleasing considering how long we've been waiting! keep it up and let us see a finished project soon! some screenies would suffice for now!
TheProphet Posted August 19, 2004 Author Posted August 19, 2004 I made an attemt to do the video thing, and CAMISTA STUDIO SUCKS. IT WAS HORRIBLY CHOPPY, you would not have enjoyed it. Anyways there will be no demo movie.
Glamador Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 use fraps...i did and it looks perfect...u just gotta divx it to make it not take up hundreds of megs of space...
TheProphet Posted August 19, 2004 Author Posted August 19, 2004 Since not a hole bunch of people seem to care enough to reply, and I cant make a poll or Darth333 will rip my balls off:D I desided to make a trailer for my mod, it isnt best quality because when it was, it was half a gig long. So go to my website under projects and you will see it.
Mono_Giganto Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Is that another of Darth333's powers? Wow that's some darkside right there if I ever saw it. I'll check out your trailer.
Darth333 Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Hehehe No reason to be afraid of me! Really Gsccc it is not that people are not interested but probably they feel like me: normally the author of the mod is the best placed person to know whether or not a mod is ready for public release.
