[REL]Holowan Plugin


Recommended Posts

Sorry, scratch that last post I had no idea the true extent of variety in this thing...so needless to say i got it worked out :) .

 

Another issue I had though was with the dialog being skipped sometimes, it does it sometimes for humans (party members included) and always for droid or alien speech. Any ideas on that?

 

thanks

 

There are some instances in the vanilla where that happens. It isn't caused by this mod. TSLRP should be fixing those skips in dialog.

I run Holowan Plugin 1.05 with USM and DAP:HC, and had no troubles with Dxun and Freedon Nadd's Tomb.

 

In which order did you install them? I'd love to run TSL with those mods together, but I'm no modder and editing various files to solve conflicts, just isn't my thing. I know I'm supposed to install the USM before the Holowan Plugin, but when should I install the DAP:HC?

A rule of thumb usually is to install the mod without the TSLPatcher last. So, install the USM first, then the Holowan Plugin, then, DAP:HC.

Thanks for the ultra fast reply. Do you mean the mod with the TSLPatcher last? Neither the USM, nor the Holowan Plugin uses the patcher, at least not the versions I've found. And the DAP:HC v2 does.

First of all, I love the Plug-in. One of my favorite mods.

 

I recently reinstalled it and I took out the Hardcore mod due to the fact that I kept getting my saber handed to me by those annoying droids. I replaced it with Achillies Game Balance mod and now it crahses everytime the Visas-Nihilus cutscene ends. I have version 1.05 installed with the patch.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

EDIT: Never mind, fixed it.

don't use the dialog.tlk file from the plugin. The readme with the patch told people to remove it. As for lucasfiles at the time I released this mod they refused to host it becasue of there file submission policy at that time, but I still reserved a version for release there in case of changes at lucasfiles.

 

Hi! What exactly did you mean by that? That is, install the dialog file from your mod or not?

 

I've also read about the team gizka mod correcting some stuff (and adding deleted scenes), but it seems they've abandoned their project (and their website is offline). Does anyone know if their work is accessible somewhere on the net? Thanks.

Another question/observation. I just started playing with this mod (the first kotor mod to try - I liked the idea of having several mods integrated, though I was too lazy to read all of the components' readme files, so I don't really know what's included :D)

 

I really like the new character heads.

 

However, I found it strange that I found several hundred components and exchange gloves and belt in the first room on peragus (which would otherwise be accessible much later), and then finding a lightsaber on the dead man at the morgue (there were no jedi there according to the story, and how would your own saber go to a dead man's corpse?) It seemed too strong (though I've only encountered the droids so far, but they die too quickly even in difficult mode). (Actually I read about some 'insane' difficulty in the mod, but don't know if it needs activation?) Also, as far as I remember, crafting your lightsaber was one of the quests - so how come you get one now?

 

Also I found the Hoth stuff on four bodies (yes, I've read you couldn't fix it, but there it was only about having the stuff twice on the dead officer, but now in the next room there are three additional storage officer corpses).

So It's been a rather long time since I have come back or been modding so I apologize for the excessive tardiness here.

 

To answer your Q's Hoemaco.

What I was refering to was a single file called Dialog.tlk. This single file if copied over can cause major glitches and bugs in the game if not done correctly. There have been later utilities and tools made available long after this mod was ever made that improve on the method that was used when this mod was created.

 

As to the various excessive amounts of lightsabers and other items you find in game that have less story driven to them this can be the downfall of poor mod development in some cases. The Holowan Plugin is and was a collection of works done by numerous modders at the time this was developed and released. Many modders myself included at times have frequently wanted to have a lightsaber or some cool robes much earlier in the game so we would throw them on some random body in the game or in the start of the game without much more than a note in the readme of where to find the item. When you get literally Dozens of mods that do similiar things combined into one super mod you do get less of a story feel from what you would like. This is sometimes a tradeoff you get when playing with a mod on a game.

 

I am glad to see that there are always new people coming to the comunity and getting mods like this still and enjoying them and I do hope you can continue to enjoy it despite my infrequency of being around anymore.

Hi! Thanks for the quick reply! (After some years it's nice)

 

What I was refering to was a single file called Dialog.tlk. This single file if copied over can cause major glitches and bugs in the game if not done correctly.

How can you copy over a file "not correctly" ? Getting curious. (I just copied it over the old file. No problems so far, but I'm still on peragus)

 

There have been later utilities and tools made available long after this mod was ever made that improve on the method that was used when this mod was created.

Originally I was looking for the Restoration Project, but only found out that the Team Gizka abandoned it and their site is down. I have found a version of it from 2009 but it says it's incomplete (i was also surprised it's only 600kB). Do you know of any usable RP mod? Especially if it is compatible with some of these mods you have in here.

 

(I think I'll just have to sort through the readme files of the holowan plugin and select those mods I want to use and delete the extra stuff. Hope it'll work)

 

Thanks and have a happy new year!

Any suggestion for the load order of this mod, with RCM and many of the newer mods?

 

I was thinking of actually installing this first, since this would allow the RCM to overwrite any necessary files for the Restoration. I hope would allow me to get at least the most from this mod and still having RCM.

I would generally advise against it. Many mods unless they specifically say they are compatible with this will generally break both this mod and the other mod when you overwrite files leading to catastrophic problems. AKA Overwriting == BAD unless told otherwise.

 

This Mod was released almost 5 years ago meaning there are many mods that are not going to be compatible.
