Marius Fett Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hey everyone. I've had permission from the Admins, to create a YouTube Channel for Holowan. The channel will be home to video tutorials on modding, which are easier to follow than written ones, even if they have pictures. This is to help new modders learn the basics of modding KotOR, and for more experienced modders, to learn more advanced modding skills. Should anyone wish to contribute to the channel, PM me and i'll either give you the username and password or ask you for a link to the video, (most likely the former.) The first few videos that go up will be on beginners modding as I think the new modders will have the most to gain from this. Here is a link to the channel. Hope to see some interest in this! -DDD I'll use better video quality next time too. Video List by author: DarthDingDong: Beginner Level Lesson #1: Making a Custom Item Lesson #2: Making a Custom Robe and a Skin Coming soon!

Taak Farst Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Wow, cool idea. Now I will understand modeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Fett Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 It's the NGon Taak! The bloody NGon! Ah, memories... Ahem, the first "series" of videos, concentrates on basics for beginners. Things like editing item descriptions, simple reskins and things like that will be included here. After that, some more challenging things, like dialog and scripts. There may be some simple modelling and skinning of those models here too. Then if I can manage it, a series dedicated to area modelling. I'll add links to the videos in the first post as I upload em.

Quanon Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Great idea DDD, I'll see if I can "waste" some time on this next week. Expect a "nasty" complex video that'll make you cry for ever touching that N-Gon monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Fett Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 That'd be much appreciated Quanon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Loto Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Do you have any videos uploading now? How many do you plan to have total? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Fett Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 There are currently three videos being uploaded. They are parts 1, 2 and 3 of the first lesson in the Beginner category. As for how many there will be in total, it's hard to say. However many we make really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferc Kast Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Wow; I always miss all the important announcements. Can't wait to see these upcoming tutorials. BTW, DDD: If you need a better background for it, I still have one left over from my web development class that I made in Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
settoken Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 may be you should change the background as it is a little hardcore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerGod Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Wow. Nice job DarthDingDong I'm guessing not only you, but also experienced modders can make videos, and upload them themselves for the channel? Or will you add them yourself? As for the next series of videos, you should do something like 'How to make Custom Modules.." or "Dialog." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverNight Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 You might want to adjust the camera so that you can see what the heck is going on.. I just watched the intro to part 1, so maybe it gets better. Other than that, we might want to have people do some Voice-acting so that you don't have to use Notepad to say what you want to say... Other than that, nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazingPhoenix Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 YES! This is a very cool idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithspecter Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Finally! We've really needed this for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkstrong16 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Sweet. I might actually be able to mod now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Loto Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 If you aren't going to do voice acting, can you add some Star Wars background music? Other than that this looks very promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthJebus05 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'm in the process of making a video for the channel now. It will explain adding recruitable/NPC's to new/existing modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papership Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I'm feeling the rookie love! <3 Damn, I knew I shouldn't have done all that reading I should have sat and waited for teevee to tell me what to do. Seriously, this is kind of you folks. ~Paper~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Fett Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Second tutorial is almost done. After that, i'll do one more beginner one, then move up to intermediate. Though I will keep going back and adding more beginner ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverNight Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Ughhhh.... You might want to darken the background a little... It's okay, don't get me wrong, but its a little too... bright. Just a thought, you might want to put a notice [K1] or [TSL] in front of the video title, like here at Halowan... Just because people who are just getting into it might try to apply Script Parameters (for instance) to K1... I know I once spent a day looking for the stupid thing in K1... And, I think I'll stick to written tutorials, that way I can print them out and stick them in binders to refer to later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Fett Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'm working on getting better video quality atm, so the next tutorial will be up when I get it sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferc Kast Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Ughhhh.... You might want to darken the background a little... It's okay, don't get me wrong, but its a little too... bright. I'll get on that right away. EDIT: PM sent to DDD with darkened background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
