The Dark Apprentice: Holowan Consortium - Released


Recommended Posts

@Johney Truth: Have patience, it will be uploaded when it is uploaded. No sooner, no later. Unfortunately, life does not always afford one as much free time as we might like. Also, it does take time to get things all tidy, together and uploaded, the latter of which is especially so for those of us still on dial-up like myself.

the only reason i ask, is because he has given release dates. a lot. and it doesn`t happen. so, yousee, i`m not being impatient, just curious

I'm curious as well and had noted the date planned on for the latest version being released, so I understand. Believe me, checking the forums religiously for an update each day. ^^ lol However, and perhaps this is just from my own experiences, but release dates--be it from a modder or a major company releasing a product--are to be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism.

 

And I don't really think you are impatient, don't know you well enough to say either way, just that even more may be necessary than may have already been exerted.

And I say this as someone still waiting for not just this, but Team Gizka's planned (eventual) release of TSLRP.

 

As I was saying above (more or less), release dates don't always go as planned, for many possible reasons.

 

Dates will be announced, passed, the date finally officially pushed back, and perhaps back some more and then finally a release (hopefully). It's happened with several games, even with high profile games, and that's with a staff whose main job it is to put out their company's product. While mod creators (or mod team members where applicable) are doing this in their free time and have other obligations, sometimes deadly serious life changing obligations. Despite the dedication to project and those eagerly waiting, thing just don't always happen the way it was initially planned.

 

In the mean time I'm doing yet another TSL playthrough and tinkering with my own mods (released or otherwise).

 

Edit: Oh, yes, totally agree with what RedHawke said. For example, it's been over a year I think and some of mine still need work and updating. ^^ lol So it's not entirely uncommon for things to take a bit from time to time.

During the past several months, I have been working hard on my senior thesis. After I finished up this past semester, I was completely drained from research, classwork, homework, work, etc... I am taking an indefinate leave from the forums starting 'now', but I will be updating the mod sometime this week. I ended up refreshing all of my computers this week, so I was busy getting re-established. I reinstalled KotoR II last night, so it will take a few moments to get settled. I want to run through all of the changes, which can only be done with one last walk through. Please keep in mind that several versions of DAP have been released to the public. Its not like I haven't released anything. After I am finsihed with DAP's latest version, I will release it to two locations. LucasFiles.com - the one true home of DAP. FilePlanet - to expand my audience. Instead of announcing a release date, I will just make a reslease announcement.

 

Hopefully I will be back soon,

I know that i wrote a message in the dap thread that tells you of a bug i found when i play it. Actually, it's the main game bug. You can easily do it. I just did it twice with 2 differents games. When you talk to Vossk (the ex-bounty hunter in refugee land pad) conserning who is after the exile, he will tell you everyone. However, when you go to another area then return to the refugee land pad, you will see the zhugs and mira where you saw them in the cut-scene with Vossk.

Hi,

 

I'm looking for help with this mod. It seems to be an awesome job, but I'm not able to use it :(

 

I have the french version of TSL, and dialogs don't appears ingame. I found a converter (I'm aware that is not a translator), but dlg files are in some "*.MOD" files, and I can't convert them!

 

How can I convert your mod to be able to play with the french version of TSL please?

 

Can any modders share here some tips or, why not ( It would be very cool), the DA mod converted for french version?

 

I thank you for your answers, and please, forgive me for my bad english. :litang:

This is going to ever can help me on this i was told to get ahold of the source as he is called but since im still kinda new to the forums i dont know exactly where to get a hold of anybody. But to give a clue on what is happening i am running into a problem running the halowan consortium deal dont know exactly what could be causing at the moment,

 

Problem 1: is when talking with t3 and you get the question to ask him about that he looks like he is need of routine maintennace i get a error node see designer for help. that one i think i can work around not a big deal.

 

Problem 2: Is i get to nar shadaa and get to the point where im suppose to fight the red sun people or somthing like that, get ready to board the ebon hawk and the game freezes up or goes black and my process on kotor 2 goes to 99%, basically a crash as far as im concerned. So far i have not made it any farther than that.

 

Anybody got any helpful hints would be appreciated.

Hello!

I'm not sure what could be causing your first problem, but maybe we can solve your second issue. Do you have any other mods installed? Since I created DAP: HC (1.00.23) with out the TSLPatcher, I'm sure there are going to be some questions.

Hi, MAC, good ta see ya back.

Whatever happen to the update for this mod?

Do you still have it?

Yeah. I still have the update. I just don't have a fast internet connection at home. When I'm back in school at the end of January, I will have to remind myself to bring it with me. Its been a long couple of years, and things get stuck on the side lines. DAP was just one of them.

During the past few weeks, I started to work through some portfolio pieces. Since the work ahead of me is long, (and central to my career), I will try as hard to get the upgrade out to everyone. About a good year ago, I did send it to LucasFiles.com for upload. Unfortunately, the upgrade never made it to the public. I'm unsure about why this happened. Either, they never obtained the files, or they descided not to upload the file. Who Knows.

 

"The Dark Apprentice" had several upgrades over the years. If this current version is the last, I'm still pleased with all the hard effort that everyone put into it. I'm also greatful for all the feedback, which the Holowan Consortium and fans have given.

 

Since I have moved onto other things, I may not be able to release the upgrade. Within eight days from now, I will be begining my last college semester. All of my attention and effort will be into completing college, and then I will be moving onward to looking for work.

 

When it comes to modding the "KotOR" series, I had enormous fun in developing various side-quests, items, and textures. While writting this posting, my mind is pushing towards the end of my modding "KotOR" days. Even though a few of them never made it to LucasFiles.com, I still felt a sense of completion from finishing "DAP".

 

Thank you all for the fun, and I will be linguring around the forums.

everyone knows that lucasfiles doen't put up files anymore, and hasn't for a long time.

As I said in my previous postings, I have the mod packed and ready to go. Second, I'm not really sure what happened after I sent the original upgraded mod to LucasFiles.com. Finally, the original mod is massive. Even if I sent out the latest version, I think the only serious upgrade would be the use of Stoffe's great patcher. Everything else that was done to the mod is really not necessary. You can also ask 'Jae Onasi'. We worked on the dialogue and journal entries a good year and a half ago. Fate of the upgrade is only keeping it at the top of my list. Since I have so many life things going on, remembering to upload the upgraded files are not a priority. My connection at home is a dialup, so I won't make an attempt at uploading a massive mod from here. While I work in the college's computer lab, I'm able to use an extremely fast connection. The only issue is remembering to bring it with me, so I can try uploading it for a second or third time. When I go back to college on Monday, I will have other things to worry about. Its my final semester.

Hey Mac:

 

Don't worry about those comments from the newbies. They're not observant enough to know you have already released a previous version of the mod. Their blindness is their loss. Oh, and don't worry about rushing it. You'll release it when you're ready. I'll be ready to receive it and upload it whenever you get around to it. Best of luck to you and your school studies. :D

Shem -- If you want to take the images and files from LucasFiles.com, you can place them over at FileFront.com for now. Just let me know the link.

Okay, I can do that. Later when you're ready we'll outdate it and put in the updated link whenever you can get that in for us.
