The loot generator problem

[Ztalker]

Hello there...

 

I recently installed Kotor 2 again. While browsing through some Mods, I found Svösh his Jedi Master retextures. I clicked the picture to see the result, and got a shock.

It showed several robes I had never seen before. Browsing through the forums, i found out that the item list has several cool items in it that aren't 'Rollable' by the loot generator.

For example, Malak's Armor is obtainable. It never spawned for me though.

 

So...my question is:

Is this fixable? I'd love to see all that cool weapons and armor. It would make the game so much better.

 

Thanks in advance!

It's a bug in the loot generator scripts that cause a_robe_16 to be the highest one that is dropped as loot. It's pretty easy to fix in itself, though since it will require recompiling all the loot generating scripts (there are quite a lot of them) it might lead to incompatibilities with other mods that modify these scripts. The Ultimate Saber Mod comes to mind, since it alters the random loot, as does the Improved AI mod, since it has recompiled versions of some of these scripts as well.

 

The attached file contains a modified k_inc_treas_k2.nss include file which should have that bug fixed. You'd need to use it to recompile all the random loot scripts though. Some of them are listed below, but there could be more:

Thanks, Stoffe.

 

I'm downloading the Improved A.I. right now

 

(And that script might come in handy too...I might actually try to make a fix for this myself)
