Xiskio Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Holster Party Weapons Mod v1.1 for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I (English language version only) New in this Version (1.1 from 09/27/08) If the party gets attacked or any hostile people/creatures are in sight, weapons will be automatically reequipped. Description This mod provides an Armband that when used will unequip the parties weapons on first use and reequip them on the next use. If the party gets attacked or any hostile people/creatures are in sight, weapons will be automatically reequip. To get the armband talk to Carth and ask him if he has any items you could use. To use it, the armband has to be equipped and after that you must activate it via the action menu. Future Next thing will be to implement functionality to automatically reequip weapons on being attacked. - DONE After that I want to look into the possibilities to make Sith troops react on the player running around with weapons drawn. And when that is done, I would like to make it possible to see holstered weapons on the party characters. Installation Extract the downloaded file, start the install exe and follow the instructions. The installer is made with TSLPatcher. Compatibility This mod is compatible to most other mods except those who changed Carth's dialogues (File: k_hcar_dialog.dlg) or the AI Master script (File: k_ai_master.nss/ncs). Acknowledgements LucasForum - a great resource of information about modding KoTOR and a bunch of helpful people. Stoffe - for his TSLPatcher. Fred Tetra - for his very helpful KoTOR-Tool. And to all the other people I haven't mentioned, that support the KoTOR community with their ideas, experience, or tools. Thank you!

Arátoeldar Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Thank you for this mod. I have always disliked the fact that you cannot "holster" your weapons when not fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qui-Gon Glenn Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Thank you for this mod. I have always disliked the fact that you cannot "holster" your weapons when not fighting. I agree... very cool mod idea. I will be very interested in your future projects... especially Sith reactions to civilians running with scissors!

DarthHK Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I have a problem. Mod installs fine, but nothing happens when I use the armband. I'm having the same problem. So... should I just install it again? *EDIT* Tried it again, nothing changed. T_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiskio Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 I'm having the same problem. So... should I just install it again? *EDIT* Tried it again, nothing changed. T_T You have KoTOR patched up to version 1.03? The install protocol was clean after the installation? Post your install log and I will have a look at it. You'll find it in the folder from where you installed the mod. The filename is "installlog.rtf". *** ** * Holster Party Weapons Mod v1.1 released for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I (English language version only) New in this Version If the party gets attacked or any hostile people/creatures are in sight, weapons will be automatically reequipped.

Changes have been applied, but 1 warnings were encountered. The only reason why there was a Carth dialog because I installed the mod 2 times accidentally. The mod worked on neither the first nor the second installation. Using the armband does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robespierre Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I like this mod; I always got annoyed when you and your party members carried around their weapons all the time. However, I do have one suggestion: Would it be possible to set the unequip on a time-delay after the last enemy was in sight? I could just see it getting annoying to constantly un-equip weapons after each fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xiskio Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 @Darth Betrayal & DarthHK & LordOfHunger I can't see why it should not work for you. Just to make sure you use it the right way, you have to equip it and after that activate it via the action menu. That is what you do, right? Maybe some other mod you have installed interferes with my mod? You can test it by uninstalling any mods installed and deleting anything you have in the override folder (make a backup before doing so) and install just my mod. I am sure it will work. So long Xiskio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiskio Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 I like this mod; I always got annoyed when you and your party members carried around their weapons all the time. However, I do have one suggestion: Would it be possible to set the unequip on a time-delay after the last enemy was in sight? I could just see it getting annoying to constantly un-equip weapons after each fight. I tried that at first when I started the mod, but I couldn't get it working right. It bears too much issues. For example, if you wanted to change the parties weapon setup you needed some way to tell the function, to automatically unequip weapons, to make a break and accept your new setup. But this was just one issue that arise. But beside that, I am quite happy how the armband is working right now and to be honest I do not see the necessity anymore to have a function to automatically unequip weapons. What would be great however, would be a way to implement a new GUI button so that it wouldn't be necessary anymore to use up a equipment slot.

The Betrayer Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Oh, I forgot to mention, the armband never appears in the action menu. Spells.2da problems perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiskio Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Oh, I forgot to mention, the armband never appears in the action menu. Spells.2da problems perhaps? You have to equip the item to make it appear in the action menu. If you did so and it does not appear, I am pretty sure that there is an incompatibility with another mod.

GeorgNihilus Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 im having a problem. every time i use the armband, it just works like the amulet of fiends and calls in a monster, any advice? hmm... check the number of your SubtypeID column (properties tab) of your xi_unequip_weap.uti file in your Override, it must be the same as the row label number of the spells.2da file in same folder. I had a similar problem, hope it helps Great idea Xiskio and excellent mod works perfect for me. Very useful for Taris and Manaan among other places. The only issue I found is that, if you have both hands equipped with the same weapon when you holster; later when you reequip them only one of them is actually equipped ... it happens both with the default game weapons as well as the new (modded) added weapons. It's a minor annoyance of course. I haven't already tested it when foes are in sight ... Any chances to adapt this for TSL?? would be awesome there too thanks and good modding!
