Just install my Hak Pad after the Holowan Plugin... the Hak Pad uses the installer so it will append itself to the very end of the spells.2da and automatically change the .uti properties to make it compatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andargor Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hey ChAiNz.2da, I think I'll go with the dialog+script route for integrating Cloakworks 2 into Hak Pad. You can call another .dlg, right? I'll send you a stub .dlg and script in a short while which has only one disguise. That'll be the entry point so you can code it in, and then I can do the dirty work to add all of them to the dlg and script. After, I send you the full dlg and script. Cool? Or you can just code something to call hl_cloakworks2.dlg, and make just a dummy for now. Andargor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can just code something to call hl_cloakworks2.dlg, and make just a dummy for now. Sounds groovy Yeah, I can call to another .dlg... It's what I used to launch the different workbenches from the Hak Pad.. it's just a .dlg node calling another .dlg (via script) Question. Would you want the Hak Pad to open a virtual storefront to access the Cloakworks Armbands? or would you rather have the Hak Pad to strictly be the "instrument" in which the player's appearance changes? I can see advantages and disadvantages to both... however if going the Hak Pad 'instrument' route.. you might want to have the script call to the user of the HP (ie - which party member is currently selected as leader) rather than "GetFirstPC"... otherwise the HP will only change the PC's appearance (whereas the armbands will allow any Party member change appearance)... I just realized this problem with the LS / DS points function. The function only affects the PC rather than the party 'leader'... at least I think that's the problem.. hehehe (me) <-- script-tard® Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andargor Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I'll go with strict scripting, since that avoids the tons of UTIs. The dialog will have the full list of selectable disguises. The script is working, but now I see what you mean: only the PC is affected, even if an NPC activates the item. I'm working on it.

andargor Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 This is the stub I was talking about, it only has an entry for Evil Kreia: http://www.andargor.com/files/hl_cw2_scripted.zip By using OBJECT_SELF instead of GetFirstPC(), it avoids the effect being applied to the PC only. The conversation routines seem to always think that the PC is speaking, even if an NPC is leader. The only side-effect is that the leadership gets transferred back to the PC, even if an NPC activated the band. The NPC gets the disguise, however, so that's OK. I've tested it with the team at Freedon Nadd's Tomb, and it works fine there too. I'll populate the dialog now with all of the available disguises.

General Kenobi Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hey ChAiNz, One quick question??? I noticed you can train party members right? So if you train say Mira "before" you'd normally train her with USM installed will it "nullify" all the chat with her and the training you can give her and the like? Or will she just act like she's just been trained normally? General Kenobi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andargor Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Tadaaa! <squeaky pre-pubescent Anakin voice> It's working! It's working! </squeaky pre-pubescent Anakin voice> It was a lot harder than I thought, since there is a limit of 30 entries per dialog page... So I had to break everything down. Definitely more user-friendly now. http://www.andargor.com/files/holowan_cloakworks2_v1.1_script.zip Andargor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't fully tested it, but I'll make sure to put that on my immediate "to do" list... I don't think there will be a problem, but I'll double-check to make sure... I DID test on whether getting the Saber Quest parts before Bao joining the party would break anything, and thank goodness it doesn't... though it's pointless anyways since you need him in order to complete the quest ... so no worries about getting your parts on Peragus if you feel it necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Kenobi Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I was so impressed with this MOD that I wanted to let Mr. ChAiNz know as well as you that might happen upon this thread. ChAiNz has taken the time to not upgrade or improve the cheat console system for TSL, BUT actually reinventing the idea into a whole new concept for "cheating" that will allow the user to do so much more than just get items. As I just said yes you can get items but it is by no means the most impressive feature of this mod! Right off the bat going in you know the quality is #1 with anything of ChAiNz.2da's MOD's in general. (At this point you should feel free to type a few things in the invisible cheat console; shortly you'll NEVER be using it again anyway) From utilizing his Hak Pad MOD now available and its additional add on booster pac you can not only make the party members Jedi before their time, BUT make those Jedi that were never meant to be. The droids are all that are safe from your new Jedi Makin' powers with this MOD to TSL. The items lists are impressive as well as utilizing an item to (the pad) get to them that once you have it, it's always available and even your party members can use it. Now when you are T3 and having to fight 3 hunter/killer droids when leaving Vogga's warehouse you can make new items right on the spot if need be! You can be taking Dxun's Sith tomb and run out of med packs and be on the verge of death with no worries now! Simply engage the pad and in seconds you can have as many medpacks as you need to get you through. A new stealth field unit, a new shield, a new saber, the combinations are endless. Now you can "rectify" the DS/LS points prior to having either Mira or Hanharr picked for you by the game so now YOU can actually choose regardless if what your true alignment might be. You can always have your alignment adjusted to it's previous state by utilizing our new favorite item the pad once again. This MOD is a MUST DOWNLOAD!!! and is sure to be a hit with even the most novice player in their quest to either conquer or join the Dark Side of the Force. :elephant: :elephant: 5/5 Lil' Pink Drunk Elephant rating can't be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You for the glowing review I'm glad you're enjoying it There's one slight thing though... I wouldn't quite say "re-inventing"... more like re-hashing the idea andargor holds that title and his mod is an inspiration for this mod. Not only am I thankful he "came back" to Holowan (glad to finally get to "meet" you... hehehe), but has also offered yet another one of his outstanding mods, the Holowan Cloakworks [TSL] to be implemented... so, it's only right to give "props" to the man behind the myth... Thank You andargor! and Thank You GK... it means alot that you liked the mod enough to write this up.. wow.. I'm still bedazzled... --------------- I'll stop babbling now... hehehe...

General Kenobi Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 How's number 3 goin' ChAiNz? Wanted to ask a quick question (at work so I can't check), is the Hak Pad 2da based? Meaning does it pool the items from the ingame lists or are there custom lists for the categories? Like say Jedi Robes and such? Where it's listed as a numbered option of a build screen to go into; is there a custom .2da file attached to it? General Kenobi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where it's listed as a numbered option of a build screen to go into; is there a custom .2da file attached to it? #3 (or Booster #2) is going well... thanks to Tupac & Darth333. I've got the entire Holowan Cloakworks integrated, and working on some more goodies before I release another Booster... PLUS another idea popped in my head the other night... but that's for another post as for .2da's... nope.. not a one (other than one line in the spells.2da). Using the installer with it though hopefully has kept any problems down... All of the items in the HakPad are .utm based and launched as a shop (via dialogue & script)... and the functions are strictly .dlg + script based. Unless I start incorporating custom .2da's.. I want to try to keep the Hak Pad .2da free as much as possible. Since it's main purpose is for cheats and "fun" most everything should be possible (or already done... hehehe)..

Emperor Devon Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Hmmm... You could include the ability to add and remove party memebers. The disguise function sounds very useful. I'e been curious to see what some of those appearances are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono_Giganto Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I've got one for ya. How about a dialog to test custom scripts. It's not hard to make such a device on your own, but it would help keep my spells.2da clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 TSL Hak Pad - Booster Pack v2 Grab it while the gettin's good folks! http://www.pcgamemods.com/mod/14872.html 1. SUMMARY: =========== ** Attention ** This is NOT a standalone mod! You will need to download and install my TSL Hak Pad Mod in order for this Booster Pack to work. You can get my Hak Pad Mod at either of these 2 sites: http://www.pcgamemods.com/mod/14083.html http://www.jumpstationz.com/games/mods/HakPad.htm ---------------------------- This is another expansion pack to my TSL Hak Pad cheat mod. It is also backwards compatible with my Booster Pack v.1, meaning you don't have to download it (if you haven't already) to get the functions it added. If you HAVE downloaded it, then just overwrite the files when prompted With permission, andargor has allowed me to incorporate his Holowan CLoakworks 2 Disguise mod! Over 500+ disguises are now available (PC & NPC)! andargor - http://www.andargor.com/ - Added andargor's Holowan CLoakworks 2 Disguises function - Tweaked a few dialogue tree descriptions / categories - Added Set PC / NPC's Level - Added Adjust Skill Point Levels Function - Added Adjust Attribute Scores Function - **Added a "hidden" Special Interface for other Modder's Tools ** What this means is that if you happen to have the following mods installed, you can access it's functions through the Hak Pad without having to equip it! You WILL however have to download and install their mods for this function to be available. You will also need to have their mod items in your inventory (the actual armbands). But don't worry! If you don't have the mods, the special dialogue won't appear! (No need to worry about accidentally choosing an invalid function and crashing your game). - Darth333's Wherami Armband http://www.starwarsknights.com/tools.php http://www.geocities.com/d333mods/index.html - RedHawke's Mistake Correction Armband http://www.pcgamemods.com/10928/ http://www.citlink.net/~redhawke/ - mrdefender's Wrist Console http://www.pcgamemods.com/u/1214/ http://www.jediarchives.ca/ If you have already installed the above mods and they're working fine, DON'T CHANGE a thing! BUT, if you would like to download and use them via the Hak Pad, here's a little tip... just install all of the files WITHOUT the spells.2da. That's right, you won't need to edit it because the Hak Pad will directly access it's functions via the item's dialogue! How's that for a "hack"?!.. hehehe Keep in mind, if you don't install their entries in the spells.2da, you won't be able to use the item on it's own (you'll HAVE to use the Hak Pad to use their mods)... just a warning On a sidenote, thanks to feedback from the Original Hak Pad Mod, I have found that this mod also works for the Xbox! 2. STATS: (with Booster Pack v.2) ================================= - Workbench - Component Bench - Medical Bench - Virtual Items Storefront (FREE Items) - Awards LS / DS Points - Dispense Credits - Create Chemicals Option - Create Components Option - Receive the Lightsaber Quest Parts - "Train" NPC's into a Jedi Class! - andargor's Holowan CLoakworks 2 Disguises (over 500+) - Set PC / NPC's Level - Adjust Skill Point Levels - Adjust Attribute Scores - Special Interface for other Modder's Tools 3. USAGE: ======= Though this mod is not a standalone mod, just a Booster Pack, the cheats below are for the actual Hak Pad. 1-) with cheats enabled, type "~" (without quotes) and enter: giveitem hak_pad 2-) Press "ENTER" ** For the Anti-Console, You're out of luck. Since this IS a "cheating/just for fun mod", I didn't feel "right" about adding it in the game. Kinda defeats the purpose. I'd suggest using tk102's Save Game Editor to get it: http://www.starwarsknights.com/tools.php Plus, since it's useable from the get go, there's no need to "back track" your steps or start a new game in order to get it. 5. CREDITS: =========== Super-Special thanks to: [] tk102 For posting the "Frequently Used Script Functions" thread over at Holowan Laboratories. http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=143412 And for the DLGEditor! Without it, this Hak Pad Booster Pack (and the original mod) wouldn't have been possible! I'm way too lazy to try and do this in a GFF Editor hehehe... http://www.starwarsknights.com/tools.php [] andargor, Darth333, RedHawke & mrdefender For giving me permission to access their mods via the Hak Pad Interface. andargor - http://www.andargor.com/ mrdefender - http://www.jediarchives.ca/ [] Darth333, T7nowhere, RedHawke & Tupac Amaru For pretty much "spoon feeding" me techniques on scripting, it's follies, it's functions & it's benefits once you've learned the mechanics.

ChAiNz.2da Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 MOD REQUEST??? 4 ChAinZ.2da Hey ChAinZ how about in the next booster (if any) the option to turn GOD mod on and off??? I think that would be a good add on General Kenobi hehe.. saw your request Sounds doable, and I had actually debated on adding that function in version 2 but passed it up because I needed to get some web work done. So.. while we're at it, does anyone else have any requests for the next Booster? (no promises on delivery date... keep that in mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Kenobi Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Sounds Great I use the crap out of my pad I REALLY like it that you can "alter" Jedi even after their trained Disciple makes a much better Jedi Guardian than a Consular and no more "inviso" typing, heck no typing at all General Kenobi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohan Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 ~ Yay another update!!! Oh I might be wrong but I can't seem to able to turn Brianna (Handmaiden) into a Jedi Guardian... I think this is because of the dialogue you fire the script "hak_hand_gard.ncs". However I checked all the scripts that you've included into this Mod and I can't find it...Instead I find "hak_hand_jgard.nsc", I've also noticed this anamoly in your previous Hak Pad versions... Am I right or wrong? BUT IT'S STILL GOOD ANYHOW!!! ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono_Giganto Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Easy way to fix that would be to make the dialog fire the hak_hand_jgard script instead of hak_hand_gard. Just open it up and add the j into the script node. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
