Nice to see you're approaching completion, mate. Definitely excited to play it through.

 

If the grammar/spelling Nazi in me may poke his head out for a brief moment though... In the line of dialogue in the first screencap, the word should be spelled "interference", not "interferance".

The mod looks great!

 

One question I have is with the orange NPCs, will the lighting in the modules be tweaked to match the npc's color. It looks like you want to give the planet it's own atmosphere color scheme which is cool. =)

 

Keep up the amazing work!

How the mod going? I havent seen any replies for a while.

 

It's going steady, but well. I'm currently sorting through the scripts as well as sending the mod off to some friends for testing, so it might be some time before I post an update. Basically I want to get everything absolutely right so I don't have to post patches for the mod.

Have any droids in your mod with speaking parts? I'd love to voice one for you.

 

Ha, yeah great job voicing M4-78. Why do you like voicing droids so much?

 

Also i cant wait for this mod it looks great, make sure to make it compatible with the popular mods.

Lol, yeah great job voicing M4-78:). Why do you like voicing droids so much?

 

Also i cant wait for this mod it looks great. Also make sure to make it compatible with the popular mods.

 

I have a further update along those lines with what the mod will be compatible with:

 

This game is installed using the TSLPatcher to ensure maximum compatibility with other mods. That being said, the planetary scripts may clash with other planet mods out there, so with this in mind I’ve tried to make those files as compatible as possible. Below are the major mods and their status with this mod:

 

Coruscant (Jedi Temple) by DeathDisco - COMPATIBLE

Droid Planet (M4-78) by DStoney64 - MOSTLY COMPATIBLE*

Korriban Expansion (part one) by NewbieModder - COMPATIBLE

Ultimate Saber Mod (USM) by ChAiNz, D333, Sep, Svösh and T7nowhere -COMPATIBLE

 

After installing this mod, use a saved game prior to leaving Telos, or else the planetary information required to access the new planet will not work. This is due to the saved game information, which remembers the galaxy map details.

 

Also keep in mind that this mod will be large, on the order of 200MB's in size, so you'll need a bit of space to fit it, as well as patience when downloading it.

*I’ve tried to make m4-78 appear in the planetary, but it has only been partially successful. I’ve made it so that you can access m4-78 through the Ebon Hawk security system (secsys.dlg).

Another announcement! Yes I know it has been some time, but I was not going to push my last module through until everything in the mod in my eyes was absolutely perfect. Well, now it is!

 

All the modules and skinning are complete, leaving just the lipsynch files, a small number of voice overs and beta testing to be done. I already have two people who are testing the mod, and I'll be expanding it to five people within two weeks. This means if you wish to be a tester now is your opportunity to apply.

 

Two out of five testing positions are already filled, so only another three remain. To be a tester, discretion is an absolute priority. I don't want any of the storylines or screenshots leaking out, especially as the former may wreck the playing experience for others when the mod is released in about a months time or so. Just send me a message that you are wishing to be considered. I will not inform the public as to who the testers are in order to make sure that they aren't bugged to leak information. Now for an update:

 

SKINNING: DONE

MODULE CREATION: DONE

LIPSYNCH: 10%

TESTING: 10%

VOICE OVERS: 80%

 

I'll post up some screenshots later on.

I know Snard already mentioned it, but you never gave any response... will this be compatible with the TSLRCM?

 

Yes it will be since it uses very few files that TSLRCM uses, and will be installed using TSLPatcher for maximum compatibility with other mods.

 

Do you need any help in finishing it up?

 

Most of the work has already been completed, it's just polishing up a few scripts and files, as well as testing. I will be able to manage that without any additional help. Thanks for the offer all the same however. :)

Two rather large announcements concerning the project, which is why I am putting this in another post, as I don't want people to miss these.

 

Firstly since I'm so close now to the end, a release date for the mod has been finalised. The mod will be released on the 7th of September (NZST - New Zealand Standard Time), so make room for over 200 megabytes, as you'll need all that space to fit the bits and pieces of the mod in.

 

Secondly, the first beta round of testing has been completed, a special thanks to all my beta testers. The next round of testing will be with all the bits of the mod (music, lipsynch, voice-overs ect), and will be based less on error checking and more on compatibility and mod feel. If you wish to sign up then do so, I have no limit on testing positions now.

 

There will be two release packs as follows, Standard and Gold editions. The Standard Edition will contain all the features I've mentioned in earlier posts. The Gold Edition will contain all the aspects of the standard edition with a few extras, they are as follows:

 

- Source files: all the NSS files I created

- A Guide to Making your own Planet: my own look at how to make a successful mod and a few ground rules on how to make such a mod smoother and easier.

- The Annals of Corvelle: A detailed voice log by Cathalan historian Corvelle on the history of Cathalan.

 

NOTE: The Gold Edition will be available to those who helped me make this mod ONLY. It is a way to thank them for their time and effort.

Only a month to go! Great work jaevyn! Can't wait for it!!

 

 

Sounds great. Although, I do think you should allow everyone to have access to the gold edition. I for one, would really like to see your guide on planet building, and source scripts will definitely come in handy to a lot of modders.

 

and as for the gold edition i think it would be nice to have it but thats jaevyns choice. I think thats a cool way to thank the people who helped him make the mod. I will be here in september.

Great job and giving a release date, bravo :)

The mod looks great!

Would love to test it but schedule is bit book :(

 

With the extras in the gold edition I would say if you did release any of it to the public I would say only items to aid others on planet building since I can only imagine how many people will now be pming you for advice. But if done I would say wait a bit after the release if you do release it.

 

Look forward to playing the game and must say you have done an excellent job in keeping players informed in a very professional way :)

 

Logan
