The Lost Ones - A KOTOR Storyline Expansion Mod


Lord of Hunger

Recommended Posts

UPDATE: The role of Treyfus will now be filled by...me. Yes, myself, Lord of Hunger. Hopefully this not-so-humble storyline consultant :D will be up to the task.

 

We still need Rothion, Lossarian, and Rhavarion. Progress is being made on the reskin of Deralia.

 

That's all for now.

Well, I have an update.

 

While working on a mod of my own (once I get a bit farther into it, I'll post more about it in my thread), I created a texture that was exactly what Yat was looking for in Trinity, so I now have that skin officially done.

During my skin creations, Yat may find some of my other reskins (which have yet to be done) to be great for other characters, so keep an eye on this thread for more updates.

im very sorry to have to announce this but the project is being closed and will not be continued until further notice. frankly it is due to some unexpected situations brewing between me and triggergod, again sorry to say this for those who were expecting this project to be completed and again this project is canceled unless the situation resolves itself.

alright i know this is going to sound unexpected and quite random but lord of hunger has convinced me to pick up this project myself, this will not hinder time shift as i wasnt doing anything on that mod anyway, the rest of the team was and is, i will try to finish this mod to the best of my ability but time constraints may hinder the production, ill post updates whenever i can and with the help of a few of my friends the mod may yet get done.

 

edit- we now have a group so i will be posting ALL updates there the major updates will be the only things appearing in this thread from now on.

I am so glad this mod is back. It sounded as if this mod was going to be as good as Solomon's Revenge. Maybe we will have some great surprises for summer of '10.

 

And have you updated the progress report on the front page? It would be good if we (the random kotor players that are waiting for good mods) could see exactly how much is done.

at this point there is alot not going into it because some of the models/work was made by team hssiss so since the current team is just loh and i the mod will take longer to make and i may need some outside help with a few of the mods harder situations such as scipting, things would go much faster if i had alot of dialogue writers as well but ill have to work out the whole team situation later, right now im finalizing some skins that were made beforehand and trying to get trilaras's horns to work (having no luck on that whatsoever)

Minor update. Yat has completed a beta of the head skin for Trinity, a Sith Acolyte and one of the main characters in this mod. Here's a few pics.

Also, we've casted both Lossarian and Treyfus. Thank you JuniorModder for auditioning.

 

We still need voice overs for Rothion, Rhavarion, Talias, Ardolis, and Shiloth. Please visit this page for auditioning info.

Time to update everyone: We have cast eight of the nine voice actors and have complete lines for three of them. Our only remaining role is Shiloth. If you are interested, please see our auditioning thread: http://www.deadlystream.com/showthread.php?1033-The-Lost-Ones-Five-Voice-Actors-Needed!-Please-audition!

 

More updates to come. This weekend we hope to get the very first section of the mod done.

Just my two cents, I don't have appropriate audio equipment to audition, but would've (and tried it out on a crappy little plastic mike, forget it).

 

This line is a problem,

-“In any event, I grow tired of asking questions. I'll release you now so you can show me your TRUE POWER!”

 

It lacks reasoning and depth and should be something more like

 

[frustrated, threatening] "I'm...getting tired...OF ASKING...you...QUESTIONS! [calm, mocking] Heh! You want to show me your power? Your true power? I'll let you go, now. POUR YOURSELF INTO ME! Give me your POWER!"

 

One should recall a high point of Sith philosophy is self loathing. Insane depends on where you stand, manic always has reason, sadism is like a hunger and random is just whimsy. These things are merely the human element of doing mean things, the brain responds in these ways because it is working correctly, not because it isn't.

 

Anyway if dialogue is written as a cartoonish villain, then there can be no real substance to speaking them. The character becomes two-dimensional.

 

Also, always add industry standard emotives with screenplay lines. They help a great deal with your casting, because it's possible for someone perfect for the role to simply be on a different emotional wavelength at the time and seem an inappropriate choice. Given the right mood, you might say, whoa, that's the sound I wanted.

 

The other line is okay ("Obviously you need sufficient motivation.") but it does set the precedent of something psychosexual between the Sith Lord and his victim (ie. he is feeding the prisoner's needs, satiating them with torture). This is little different from the way Malak handles Bastila, but in that case it isn't homoerotic.

Breaking that connection is a simple change of perspective on our Sith Lord. Instead of feeding need being his word association, lacking abilities might be of greater concern. It's just a simple substitution of "need" for "lack"

[threatening] "Perhaps you LACK sufficient MOTIVATION!" [sith Lord tortures PC with Force Lightning]

 

Remember especially that use of the Force during dialogue should represent that character's affiliation with the Force, ie. his Jedi or Sith class type. Ben Kenobi is a Watchman by RPG core rules (specific prestige class is actually Jedi Investigator), and old Ben uses the Force very matter of factly and quite conservatively.

 

Yoda is the archetypical Consular and the epitome of the Jedi Master, and uses it with wonderment and humility.

 

Luke is the classical Jedi Guardian and uses it with reverence and determination.

 

Vader, the Dark Jedi uses it as a personal tool, but respects it and expects others to do the same.

 

Palpatine considers it a personal power, one he can steal from others or at least manipulate within others. He is the archetypical Sith Lord.

 

The Sith Acolyte is concerned with gaining power. The Sith Warrior with abusing power. All Sith seek to satiate themselves.

 

When someone is about to use a Force power they must channel the emotive content of the way they are about to use the Force. This should appear within the undercurrent of their dialogue.

Force Lightning for example is the palpable focus of all the hatred within the Force user for all life, including their own. There should be a visible element of self loathing and sheer callous disregard just as it is about to be used, even if this detracts slightly from the theme of dialogue. Because that's the point where the audience says, Oh he was focusing Force Lightning right at that point, I could tell by how his conversation changed slightly.

 

 

Just some thoughts anyway.

Im happy to announce that all characters have been cast and the actors should now be recording their lines! So please do not send in any new auditions unless we announce that a position has been opened up. (for any reason, if any at all)

 

thanks

I have an announcement to make, because lordofhunger has recently retired from modding i will be looking for a new co-director (storyline consultant) if anyone is interested let me know via PM and we can talk, the mod is still proceeding as planned though this is a minor setback, we are also looking for any other help that would like to be given, wether it be scripting, dialogue or anything else the community would like to contribute please let me know what it is via PM and we will try to include that into the mod Asap

 

Update: Juansaman has gladly accepted the role of co-director and storyline consultant, very happy to have you aboard Juan

SaintAugustine has also contributed to the mod and has begun writing sidequests for the main plot to make deralia a more enjoyable planet once the mod is complete

HarIII has also commited to aiding us in this project and has begun placing npcs and other things for us in the mods modules

 

my appreciation is spread now to all of you for aiding us in this expansion project, it was tough doing the bulk of the work myself, thanks again everyone

 

More updates to come, i feel i will have alot to update within the coming weeks so keep checking back :)
