newbiemodder Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 This question must have been asked before, but I'm unable to find any threads on it. Is it possible thru scripting to change the name of your PC to Darth during the game--once you decide to follow the dark path and have it show on screens rather than your initial name.

Gargoyle King Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 You've never used KSE (Kotor Save Editor)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarsityPuppet Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Perhaps he wants an in-game option to do so? Otherwise, that would pretty much solve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiemodder Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yep, in game option...where you are assigned or get to choose a new name..and that becomes your default name for the remainder of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demongo Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 This may be a sick idea, but maybe there's a script to bring up the "new game screen" in-game:D Or maybe you could check KSE's scripts.(it is VERY VERY LOOOOOOONG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarsityPuppet Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Okay, that's it... we need to find an experienced scripter! This could possibly the greatest mod that every darksider needs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiemodder Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Haven't you guys ever thought about this before? I always considered this a big flaw in both games. Scripters needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silveredge9 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 To my knowledge, an in-game option wouldn't be possible. You would have to use KSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glovemaster Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 After a while of pondering It doesn't seem possible to me. There is no script function to change the name of a Character short of using custom tokens, nor are you able to swap the PC for a different NPC.

R2-X2 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Would be funny if you could make a script that fires KSE and changes your name using it while playing the game . But thats "even more impossible". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fair Strides 2 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 This question must have been asked before, but I'm unable to find any threads on it. Is it possible thru scripting to change the name of your PC to Darth during the game--once you decide to follow the dark path and have it show on screens rather than your initial name. I know jack about scripting. What I do know is that they follow simple "If...,then" statements. What I am pretty sure about is that there is a script that inserts name given at the new game screen. If I am correct, find that script, figure out how it relates to the dialogues, and adapt the script to do an alignment check(i.e.:Alignment in KSE reads 20 or less), and chuck it in the override. I'm good with the theoretical aspects behind things, but ask me to do something and watch what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VarsityPuppet Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wow I posted in this thread a long time ago too... hmmm Knowing what I know now, I wonder if it would still be possible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair Strides 2 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 wow...a flash from the past...good luck It's because of things like this that KOTOR modding still lives on 8 years after the game came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christos K Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I hope this is possible. Even though I usually play Dark Side 1 out of every 3 playthroughs this would be great to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90SK Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm trying to remember if there are prompts like that in game, that you can use to change aspects of the character like the name. I feel like there aren't any, its usually a selection option rather than typing in new information. Sorry if this is an old thread I wasn't paying attention to the dates. I was already trying to make a mod where you can voluntarily change your characters identity after you defeat Darth Nihilus, but its still a rough idea.

The only thing I can think of is when you choose your path..Jedi guardian, sentinel etc....your class changes from whatever you started as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCarter426 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 It doesn't change your class; it adds a new class. There seem to be no script functions to permanently change anything about your character. Well, almost anything, but most of those are only in K2. The character creation system probably runs on its own code; I can't see any of its source files anywhere - or at least anything that is obviously from the character creation system. Even if you could find them, I suspect it wouldn't matter; the system creates a character from scratch and assigns it to the PC - it doesn't change the PC in any way. So in short, I doubt it's possible... but that doesn't mean it's impossible. Good luck, anyone who still wants to fumble in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
