I did not want to see this mod go wayside. -So- I made contact with MacCorp by pm and email. I am now on the testing team. I asked him to allow me to post this:

To: All Those Who Are Waiting For DAPHC: 1.00.30

For the past couple of days, I have been working on final exam assignments. Since I have limited time, I am unable to keep everyone updated. Darth Reign is my new Beta Tester, and I have asked him to post this email.

 

Progress: 97.99% complete

Release Date: December ‘06

 

I have only one more dialogue to design. All journal entrees have been successfully implemented. Initial tests have all been successful. After going through some of this thread, I found some very important things to address. Hopefully, I have taken care of all the issues.

 

I will be back to the forums on Tuesday evening. I will not have too much time, for a massive exam is on its way. If anyone has any last second issues, please let me know as soon as possible.

 

Someone had mentioned about a dialogue error on Dantooine. I couldn't simulate the error on my machine. If that person can do so, could you please list the dialogue tree where the error occurs?

 

For all of you who want to know: Yes. I have been successful in implementing Stoffe’s TSL Patcher, and everything executes with perfect precision.

 

After the new dialogue is in place, I only have one more module to test run. All I need is enough time to finish the new dialogue. To: Jae Onasi - If you would like a shot at editing and developing the new dialogue, please contact me through PM by Tuesday. This new dialogue will be based upon the Sith Lord - Code Named: ‘Mistress Death’.

 

Thank your for your patience,

MacCorp (MacLeodCorp.)

He did not want to give too much away. I finally convinced him that people will be happy to hear the great news. We are using the patcher. Compatibility is on its way. :smash:

Thanks Man! :)

 

Help Wanted!

I am looking for an editor to look over some dialouge. If you would like to get involved with editing, please feel free to PM.

 

MacCorp

 

I have not yet gone through all the PMs I received for this. If your name is not up here, I will be reading your PM soon. I will let you know tomorrow evening who I choose for editting.

I will most likely be sending out my version of the dialouge this weekend. Since I am under strict deadline, I will be paying close attention to balancing everything. My classwork is at a stage, which I can just fly through it. Plus, one of my professors decided to give a take-home-final-exam. :)

About ten seconds ago, I finished my last exam for the semester. When I get home tonight, I will send out an update. What I can tell you is that everything is in place except for one dialouge file. Once the dialouge is created, I will send it out for editting.

F-Y-I

I got my semester grade for 'Graphic Design 5'. A- all the way... A- all the way. Now comes the waiting period for the other classes. Grrr...

The desicion to upload a mod to your fileserver is in the hands of the modmaker and not for you to decide. This type of action is what caused a rift originally with kotorfiles.com even though they have done an excellent job of mending that fence since then. So I would recomend offering Mac the option to upload to your server don't be upset if he says No.

I made an executive descision. Tomorrow, I will send the mod out. I will let the public Beta-Test the mod.

 

Jan 3rd, 2006 @ 6:20pm

When I was home this past afternoon, I started to test the mod in its packed form. Installation went off without a hitch. I started two games fresh from the beginning. Since I am testing for two different conditions, I needed to have access to a male and female PC. The final release version will be called: 'The Dark Apprentice: Holowan Consortium' (Vrs. 1.00.35). I added some robes for Bastila, which were in the KotOR I mod called: "The Dark Padawan". :)

 

Well, I hope to have a completed version out to LucasFiles.com by Sunday. Yeah, I have to adjust some deadlines, but I am also starting to work on my senior project.

Ladies and Gentlemen. I have completed the revisions to the new dialogue. I will be transfering them from Word to the .DLG editor tomorrow evening. During this week, I will be testing them in game. All other additions work flawlessly. Within a few minutes, I will be heading to a New Years party. I want to wish you and yours a happy New Year. DAP: HC Vrs. 1.00.30 will be released to LucasFiles.com on Saturday. Depending on how fast LucasFiles.com works, you 'may be' able to download the file in a weeks time. I thank you all for your continued support, and I hope you will enjoy the final edit of the Dark Apprentice.

I started on my own revisions. I didn't want the dialogue to go out to the editor, and then create extensive confusion. Usually, the first version of a written piece is not the best. After I rewrote a mess of dialogue, I had to ask a few questions: "What am I trying to accomplish?", "What can I do to stitch KotOR I and II together?", and "How can I make the new DAP additions fall into the allready made storyline, so it would appear almost seemless." I wanted to stay true to the original KotOR I & II story, but give the PC a more meaningful existance.

 

1. I created the new 'Easter-Egg' sidequest in away that it played off what was allready done in game.

2. I referenced the original DAP story, but I didn't repeat anything that was allready said. No need for repetition.

3. How can I make the character code named 'Misteress Death' stitch KotOR II with KotOR I? Since this individual is covered extensively in KotOR I, I thought I would just play upon the events that took place.

4. What made KotOR I great, and how can I impliment it in KotOR II? Adding this specific character to DAP has answered that question. Her dialogue is very reflective of KotOR I at times. I hope that I did justice to this character.

 

I will keep you posted.

I have a very few more lines to write. Before I send the dialogue out to be edited, I want to go through it one more time. The last 'Easter-Egg' character that you can confront in DAP needs to be treated with respect. I want to give the character a meaningful story, which people will enjoy reading through. I drew insperation for the character's dialogue from many sources, and I have stitched and manipulated them together in a way that will make you weep or shout, "vengence is served". I also wanted to bring meaning to the Exile and his/her journey in a way, which KotOR II just didn't originally deliver to the player. One of the sources that I am deriving my ideas from is 'KotOR I', which touched upon everything that made up Star Wars. I am hoping to make Kreia's endgame more meaningful by adding this one last character into DAP. I hope the final curtain will close with the Exile having a sense of purpose.

 

Dec 28th, 2006 @ 4:27pm

I have three more dialogue trees to create. My editor will receive the file by email tomorrow night.

 

Dec 27th, 2006 @ 4:33pm

I hate using NetZero. Grrr... I just got home from college, and I now have to use dialup. Grrr... So, if you get a delay in reply, I apologize a head of time.

 

First, I have been working on the final dialogue piece for the upgrade. Everything else works perfectly. At the moment, I am going to settle in and relax. I spent the hollidays away from home, so I want to catch up with everyone.

 

the dialogue is allmost complete, and I will be sending it out for revisions and edits.

 

Thanks for waiting,

MacLeodCorp

The Dark Apprentice: HC (Vrs. 1.00.35)

Well, the mod will be sent to LucasFiles.com tomorrow night. I wanted to run through the mod one more time. Once the mod is released, I will exhale from the long road I have just left. I wanted to thank everyone for their patience, and for their continued support. I hope you will all enjoy the final release of the Dark Apprentice.

 

Oh, by the way: Keep your eyes out for a new science-fiction tv series in 2009. :)

 

Sorry to ask but I can't figure it otherwise: where do I download the mod and its expansion (if there's one)? on pcgamemods.com there's nothing...

If you want to current version, you can click on the link in my signature. If you want the latest version, you will have to wait about a weekish. After I release it to LucasFiles.com tonight, I think it takes a few days to be posted.
