Gavroche Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 the shortcomings of Malak's model (what, exactly, are those?) AFAIK, he can only uses a single melee weapon (well, he *can* use other weapons, but he does not have the battle animations). I was under the impression that he had all the standard/critical/flurry/power attacks, but I'm not sure I understand what Druganator means by "3 moves", so I might be wrong. PS: Hey Silveredge9, I've had a bug on my playthrough of the original BoS, I reported it on its release thread (one of the last messages). My comp crashed since then, so I won't be able to dig the files to find why it bugged, but still you might have an idea about it. <edit />There it is. I'm not quoting it, since it has little to do with this thread.
The Betrayer Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 @silveredge I mean that making some of the characters join your party will take more time.
Robespierre Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 he had all the standard/critical/flurry/power attacks, but I'm not sure I understand what Druganator means by "3 moves", so I might be wrong. I believe he doesn't have one of the critical/flurry/power attacks. He should be fine for most cases, and you just make sure he doesn't try to attack with animations he doesn't have (as humorous as that may be).
Silveredge9 Posted August 6, 2008 Author Posted August 6, 2008 @silveredge I mean that making some of the characters join your party will take more time. I've got no interest in leaving out interesting features because I'll actually have to spend more then a few hours implementing them. I believe he doesn't have one of the critical/flurry/power attacks. He should be fine for most cases, and you just make sure he doesn't try to attack with animations he doesn't have (as humorous as that may be).From testing, Malak doesn't have flurry or critical attack animations. He does however, have the power attack animation.
Miltiades Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 From testing, Malak doesn't have flurry or critical attack animations. He does however, have the power attack animation. Could it be possible to prevent the players from choosing these feats, or is that too much work (or even not necessary, if Malak isn't leveled by the player, but by you)?
Silveredge9 Posted August 6, 2008 Author Posted August 6, 2008 Could it be possible to prevent the players from choosing these feats, or is that too much work (or even not necessary, if Malak isn't leveled by the player, but by you)? As with all temporary party members in the mod, Malak's default level is 20, which makes it impossible for the player to alter the attributes, feats and skills set in his utc.

Unless of course a savegame editor is used, but that's it out of your control. Very interesting with controlling different characters, how did you do that without replacing an existing slot? Did you add a line to npc.2da or something? Anyways, looks awesome Silver.
Silveredge9 Posted August 6, 2008 Author Posted August 6, 2008 Unless of course a savegame editor is used, but that's it out of your control. Yup, which also means any bugs the use of a save game editor may create - is not my problem. Very interesting with controlling different characters, how did you do that without replacing an existing slot? Did you add a line to npc.2da or something? Anyways, looks awesome Silver. When that scenario has been completed, your original party member is returned to you just as you left them. I've included some screenshots of Malak below, of whom uses Canderous' slot for the duration of the Malachor stuff. It's the same as any other custom recruitment mod, just on a more temporary basis.

Silveredge9 Posted August 9, 2008 Author Posted August 9, 2008 Just to let people know, there won't be any progress on the mod for the next 1 1/2 weeks or so as I'm going to be on holiday from Sunday - Which also means there will be no updates in this thread either. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy, and bruised. Anyways, before I go - I figured I'd post a couple of screenshots for you to ponder over. - Screenshot 1 - Screenshot 2
Pikmin Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Looks like you added all the party members to the one pivotal scene. But I'm guessing it's just a vision, as it would mess up other stuff if it wasn't.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 ^^ I smell an illusion a la Ludo Kresh's tomb.
Robespierre Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Anyways, before I go - I figured I'd post a couple of screenshots for you to ponder over. - Screenshot 1 - Screenshot 2 What the...
Revan 411 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 I love how this mod, is so far going, it looks very good, and a nice way to replay Kotor I all over again as well. Great Job Silveredge9! !

I think I see several TSL references in Brotherhood of Shadow, except you finish your storylines.
AnEvilGuy Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Great screens. When can we expect the mod to be released?
Chevron 7 locke Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Beautiful everything, i love that new PC she looks good. have a nice vacationman you deserve it
Silveredge9 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 Just to let people know I'm back from my holiday and eager to continue work on the mod. I obviously have no updates yet, but they're be coming.
The Betrayer Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Yay! Hope to see more updates soon. P.S. Would you mind if BOS is hosted on RPGBanana?
Silveredge9 Posted August 24, 2008 Author Posted August 24, 2008 P.S. Would you mind if BOS is hosted on RPGBanana? I'd rather keep everything on KOTORFiles, thank you. --------------- As promised a few days ago, here is an update. I've recently been going back to the Battle of Taris module, which itself serves as a prologue to inform the player of the relationship between Matilda and Solomon prior to the 'meat' of the main plot kicking in. I've rewrote the entire sequence to get my mind in gear for writing a critical section of the finale of the main story, you will see the reason why when you play the mod. Thematically the whole sequence mirrors the Obiwan/Anakin "In my point of view the Jedi are evil omfglol!" scene from EP3, except that the dark side isn't the focus, rather Matilda's decision to join the Mandalorian Wars. Hopefully you will agree the dialogue isn't nearly as bad. - Screen 1 - Screen 2 - Screen 3 - Screen 4 - Screen 5 - Screen 6 - Screen 7 - Screen 8 That's all for today. As usual questions, comments or opinions are welcome.
