Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's Revenge


Recommended Posts

Hey silveredge thats my first post and i got to say that me subscribing to this forum is due to you and your amazing work.Thank you from the bottom of my lightsaber:P. Now with my problems:(i am sory but i dont know how to input spoiler tags yet)

 

1)

I get continous ctd's when matilda finishes talking to kobayashi after she boards the orion. I have no other mods installed and i have already reinstalled the game and the mod twice but i still get continous ctd's at the same point. I've tried countles time to pass the scene but i just cant.It really sucks cause i dont get to see what happens next:(

I think that someone else has the same problem back at page 5 but no solution was given.

 

2)

I see matilda being tortured in bastilas place by malak(i get bastilas dialogue ofcourse) in the scene that occurs once you click to travel to lehon(uknown planet) I think it makes sense since she is in bastilas slot BUT the problem is that once we land to the unkown planet there is no matilda with us.only the rest of the group but no matilda.I have replicated, it happens all the time.

I understand by reading older posts from older versions that this was an issue in the past but why do i get it with the current package. Has anyone else come accross such an issue?

 

as a reminder, i use kotor+patch v1.03+ bos_sr installed with the TSL

 

Ok thats it for my lenghty first pos, sorry for not using spoiler tags and thank you for your fantastic work.

I was messing around with the game and suddenly remembered that I didn't really see many Dark Side options in the mod. I don't play as a DS character (can't stand the idiotic stereotypical bad guy who behaves more like a mugger than a Sith) but I thought the mod may have nice DS convos. So I've tried going back to

the last fight with Akirakon Sin, when you choose either to "Absorb the power of the Brotherhood" or to simply free Akirakon's soul or something. I chose the first option and thought I'd have a radical switch to the Dark Side with a huge upgrade to all stats or something... nothing happened? Is this how it's supposed to be?

I got the power to use the BoS whenever I want. Frankly I think it makes the game cheap and easy

 

 

I would be more upset about it if I actually played honestly instead of using invulnerability :p

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask questions about actual gameplay, rather than asking about issues, but I'll give it a go anyway. If this isn't the place to ask, again, sorry.

I'm stuck on how to escape the white void. I've used mines to figure out that the void is a circle, but I'm lost from there. I've tried talking to Drexl many times, but he's catatonic as always. If this is just me being an idiot, please tell me so.

Hm.

Is it given to you after you get back to the Ebon Hawk or something? Because I've only checked up to the final cutscene where Mec Ha'nic, Koba and Sera leave. Does it appear in your list of powers?

 

 

It should be part of your shield selection. (in the equip screen) Additionally, it should show up in the lower right corner as one of the options in the shields tab.

 

You can summon up to three brothers of shadow, whenever you want. Makes it a bit to fight Malak at the end.

Um.

 

I did install the robe fix umpteen times like you said. It doesnt appear to replace the models for the revan robes you use.

 

And annoyingly I cant figure out which models (mdx and mdl files) that your Revan robe uses. I use Masked Star Forge Robes which has both Dark and Light Star Forge/Revan Replica robes being masked and both use the fixed models so I do know that the fix is working.

 

So im a wee bit stuck on this one. lol.

The model files used for the Revan robe included with BoS:SR are:

 

- PMBJL.mdl

- PMBJM.mdl

- PMBJS.mdl

- PFBJL.mdl

- PFBJM.mdl

- PFBJS.mdl

- PMBJL.mdx

- PMBJM.mdx

- PMBJS.mdx

- PFBJL.mdx

- PFBJM.mdx

- PFBJS.mdx

Have you been using any cheats, what OS are you using?

This is what happens when you have Matilda in your party yet don't complete the SR content. It's unfixable.

It's a known bug which can happen. I haven't managed to replicate it myself before, so if you could send me a save within the white void area after the bug has occurred (Basically when you're stuck), I'll see if I can find what the problem is.

 

I just started playing this mod, and everything was going great. But...

 

On the Orion, I acquired the droid parts for Sera, but when I talk to her there's no option for me to give the parts to her. Am I missing something here?

Not really sure why that's the case. Have you loaded the autosave and then attempted the module again?

 

The reason all the Czerka guards on Korriban don't wear Czerka uniforms is that Bioware made a mistake. Theres even a mod out for KOTOR that makes all the Czerka employees wear the uniforms.
I'm not planning on revising it.

Just finished playing through it, and I have say, amazing job. Everything was really well done. I like how it flowed and each map was amazingly well done. A few issues however.

 

spoilers:

One if the Czerka mining cave, where Shadow passes out on the bridge. I always crash when I get anywhere close to the bridge. Finally, I was able to make a mad dash for the bridge, and trigger the dialogue, and was able to move on. However, on my way back out, it's just crash after crash about 5 seconds after I load the game in the cave. Is there a faster way to get back to the Czerka area?

 

also...

I feel some of the fights are a tad too hard for heavy force users. I went through it as a dark side consular, and pretty much all the harder fights (mandalore, solomon, etc..) are immune to force powers. It was rather boring to sit there and wack away with my sub par saber skills, and spam med pacs. Also, if you somehow get controled with say choke, stasis or something, the fight is pretty much over. The fight near the end where you fight all your friends along with the brotherhood of shadow guy, took me a fair bit of tries to get through, hoping for lucky dice rolls that no one hit me with any kind of force power.

 

Other than that, I thought it was awesome and fun. I will for sure be adding it into any future play thrus I do. Thanks!

I am using windows xp sp2, i am still unable to get past that point and no, no cheats EVER used.

 

thnx for the info about the second bug, you are right, i havent completed sr content so it seems thats why i have matilda on bastilas place

 

On a side note,altough its currently premature, is the -just released- revans cape/belt animated robe compatible with bors_sr and if not what file alterations do we have to do?

There are two power generator's, one in each room to the side of the field. Place a grenade in both of 'em.

I also felt that the fights were a little too hard for Force powers. The only way to win was for me to keep whacking everyone with Force Wave, and it would barely hold off Solomon and Akirakon Sin. In fact, with Solomon it did not work at all, so I had to run away with him using Advanced Lightsaber Throw.

It's amusing that I've always wanted the game to be harder for Consulars and here it's too hard. In certain scenarios, facing all of your party members at once would be a challenge but facing them AND Akirakon Sin? Unfortunately it was simply irritating, and it was the one aspect of this mod that irritated the **** out of me. I would be less annoyed if there was some mod that tunned up the difficulty of the rest of the game to match this mod and compensate for mods like the K1 Force Powers Mod. I am aware of Shem's Super Enhanced Mod, but it would make BOSSR even more insanely hard to beat.

This bug has been reported by some other people I believe. I can't think of any immediate cause behind it. Do you have any mods installed, and if so have you tried replaying the Mining Tunnels section with only BoS:SR installed?

No ideas then. I've rechecked and retested the section a number of times, and I've been unable to replicate this even once.

 

And I believe I'm correct when I say that Sithspecter's robe mod animates only the default male Darth Revan model, and not any of the maskless and female variations used in BoS:SR.

Like I said, I'm going to be revising the difficulty of the Mandalore boss fight, and possibly a few other boss encounters to make them more "accessible" to more Force-power dependent characters.

 

And although the final Akirakon Sin battle was pretty difficult, it is possible to pick off each enemy one by one until only Sin himself remains if you vary your tactics a little and use your environment to your advantage.

What are the files(.uti, .mdl, .mdx) you use for Revan's robes in this mod?

He told me a few posts up.

 

I cant actually believe that I am informing folks with more modding experience with me this but, just an FYI. The animated Cape DOES work.

 

You just have to rename and make multiple copies of his animated model. The model comes as N_DarthRevan.mdl and N_DarthRevan.mdx. Make 6 copies of each and rename them as above.

One Animated fixed maskless model. Only the hood remains unanimated.

 

The same works for the light side star forge robes. Rename them to whatever the model is called.

He told me the same in a PM. Plus, I had guessed the renaming would work but I have not progressed far enough to see if it works. Nice to know it does.

Running away, ftw. :p

 

Also, Silver, I think I owe it to you for a review, even though what I'm gonna say is pretty much a re-statement of what everyone has said. :p

 

This mod is near-perfect. The stoyline, the levels, the friends, the foes, everything is top-notch. The only reason why it can't be perfect is because of KotOR's damn engine crashing all the time and not being made for super-cool cutscenes. Other then that, I must say that it's obvious of how much work was put into the mod. Everything seems to be on-par (or surpassing) the game itself. I'll admit that there were times when I forgot that I was playing a mod and not a part of the game. :p

 

Boss Fights:

(hidden content - requires Javascript to show)
As everyone has said, these were pretty hard, but so fun. It was nice to get a challenge every now and then for my Jedi Guardian. As a Counselor, I admit it was harder. But you just need to buff yourself enough in order to beat the enemies. :)

 

Plot:

Show spoiler
(hidden content - requires Javascript to show)
Amazing, only one word that can describe the plot. It's very well thought out and the characters develop and drive you on. Akirakon Sin, ftw. I love his redemption, along with Solomon's. Both had very fleshed out backstories. I must admit that I felt for them at some points. When Sera Degana left, I felt bad, but not because of her, that the mod was over. :p

 

I won't say too much more, but if anyone hasn't downloaded this yet, do it. Even if you have 56 k, download it, you won't regret it. ;)

hey silver first of all i want to congratulate you on a job well done a well put together. Second wanted to ask you two things dont know if there spoilers or not so will put it in as a spoiler you can take it from there.

 

1st one is:

 

is kobiyashi suppose to join your group in the temple after verbal rescue's you, right now i only get the mec hanic guy joining me everytime. first time game, and a clean install.

 

 

2: has already been pointed out so will not make that redundant, i just reloaded and it fixed it. orion starboard section to point it out.

 

3:

 

after getting to the main temple or the core where the shadow is standing getting attacked by sith as there spawned and then nothing else happens, i figure it was trigger delay or something but nothing is still happening. and when i talk to shadow she just says something to the effect that she cant talk untill we get back to the ebon hawk, is this where im suppose to fight solomon. well ive wiped out my override and reinstalling and seeing if that does the trick will keep you updated.

 

 

i have had other glitches but very minor that were corrected when i reloaded the scene.

the last akirakon sin fight with the party members doesnt make total sense
like y would HK-47 want to kill revan when he created him, Mission and Big Z, because how coulld revan hav affected them? Matilda, because she does Revans every will, Canderous, because Revan totally kicked the mandalorians backsides in the mandalorian war and respects him for that, and Jolee, who would have been on Kashyyyk in the shadowlands during revan's time as sith lord
