Taris Ruins Mod Beta Release


e-varmint

Recommended Posts

Rather than put the new Taris on the Galaxy map, couldn't you just have T3 'pick up a message' from Taris and then warp you straight there?

 

I just had the thought of this mod yesterday, after playing through Taris for the first time on KOTOR. After dreading the thought of actually trying to make my ideas into a reality, I found this mod! I'll download it shortly and give it a play! It looks great.

I just thought of something about this mod.

 

This thought came to me when i visited the Yavin Space station.

 

The hallway with the doors you have to open so you can get to the main hall looks like it would fit in with the Promised Land area. It should be possible to block the window that shows Yavin though, right?

I have concocted something similar with a droid on Dantooine in case I can't get the Warp Droid issue resolved.

 

I hope that you enjoy the mod in it's current Beta form. Let me know if you have any problems or ideas for improvement.

I may be able to substitute the Taris sky (minus the buildings). I'll play around with it a bit after I

 

 

exterminate the Korath Clan with a Terror Star......

A few suggestions, to make the game play better. In the end its all up to you. I just think it would be a cool mod if you added a few things.

 

~ Add exchange bosses who may be out for the PC's head. She/He did steal the Ebon Hawke and kill Davik

~ If you haven't already, make sure you can't use the droid until you are able to leave Dantooine. You still have to go through the Jedi Enclave before you can leave.

~ Add an encounter with the Sith that were on the planet. You did break into their Taris Base and in the end it was your/Bastila's presence that made Malak turn on Taris.

~ Rackgol infestation would be cool and awesome. Imagine it. The city is in ruins, the Rackgols have been let out of the undercity, and Zelka (or the exchange) lost the Serum. What to do?

 

Also...Didn't Rukil say that you couldn't leave the Promised Land? Just to point that out to you. You might want to create a big quest where you have to find a way out. Just so it all makes sense.

Well, go back in to that file and make sure you saved it properly (or that the machine did anyway) and start a new game. Unless there's something wrong with your machine or your game itself, you should be able to activate the cheat console by hitting the tilde key on your board. Can't think of anything else.

I supposed the easy part of this mod was that no area reskins were needed as it is the same planet.

 

Sadly, major reskinning will be required to complete the mod. By the time I get it finished, the "new area" mods will be coming out, and I'll have to come up with something extremely unique (plotwise) to compete for attention. So, the plot-consistency gloves are coming off! Time for some good old-fashioned, blatantly tasteless, unrepentant, politically incorrect revisionist shock value.

 

In other words, Janice is just the beginning of the heresy.

I think you need to put the enablecheats=1 at the BOTTOM of the Game Options list. I always have put it in the bottom of the file and it always works.

 

Try that.

 

Interesting. Always put it at the top of the list and it always worked. Well, whatever works, I s'ppose.

Please tell me this most awesome modder is still doing this mod. The beta is still awesome! But i would love to see this finished. Im currently in the stage of creating a KOTOR Mod Manager version for people who use that. Could i have the modders permission to upload that and post it up here?

You have my permission, but you may want to wait. The "warp droid" has been nixed, and I am changing a few things that cause the mod to misbehave on my newest computer.

 

Since you have paid me a most excellent compliment, I will get off my a$$ and try to get it finished.

Thank you very much. Im having trouble getting the KOTOR Mod Manager to work with the ".wok files and the nwscript.nss" May i ask exactly what these files contain please?

The .nss file is not essential, and can be ignored (a far as I know). It is a file that is used when compiling/uncompiling scripts.

 

The .wok files are the "wallkmaps" for the 3D area models. I don't think that these cause any compatibility issues unless two mods use the same module name.

 

Edit: There are also several retextured .tga files that are going to be included in the final version. These are not in the Beta version.

Hmmmm Ok A Few Things:

 

1: In your next release it would be a good idea to put all the files that are not needed like the "nwscript.nss" in another folder called "Source"

 

2: Whats the estimated time of release?

 

3:Ill Sort out the .Wok files dont worry.
