And...we have a beta!

 

Whoo hoo! :band1

 

The work is far from over, but all the actual programming and scripting is done. I still need to go through all the superficial stuff. This includes :

 

- Retexturing. I'd say most of the textures are already done but some of the modules could do with some work.

- Voice acting. What I have done up to this point is used computer generated voices and added them into the game temporarily. This means that from now, rather than doing all the work with adding them in game, with lip files and the correct name, all I have to do is get people to record the lines, have the actors name them correctly, and when they send them I just have to drop them in the right folder. So basically I don't personally have to do anymore VO work myself as long as the files sent to me are named correctly.

 

A handful of the parts have already been recorded by actual people though, so that's good.

 

- The movies. My animation skills have come a long way since 1.0. The next big fun job for me will be putting together some cool looking battle scenes.

 

And, yes this means I'll be able to put together a nice little trailer.

 

Beta testers

 

I'm going to play through the entire game myself first (hopefully just a few days), but after that I will be looking for a handful of beta testers to play through the game for me. I'm not looking just yet, so don't volunteer, but if you're interested start thinking about whether or not you can really do it.

 

Remember, beta testing isn't just a case of 'i get to play it before everyone else'. A level of serious commitment will be needed. You will be expected to play the mod with a notepad by your side, stopping to make articulate notes every couple of minutes, then type the entire thing up and send it to me.

 

There is a good chance you could be sending me the equivalent of a small essay! Consider carefully whether you want to do this or not.

 

Help I need right now

 

1) The first job I could use some help with right away is adding more player characters. I'm looking for as many as I can get, male and female.

 

If you want to have a go but don't have any experience doing it, I'll help how I can. I did write the tutorial on this : http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=193050

 

If you made one yourself for your own mod and want to allow me to use it, this would also make me very happy.

 

2) Underpants! Or more precisely, I am after some good underwear textures for many of the characters, including the player characters. Send me some if you can.

 

I think that's all for the time being. I now need to use Kotortool to compile about a hundred modules.

I was under the impression this was just a planet mod (and for kotor 1). Am I wrong?

 

Lengthy reply sent to you via PM.

 

Edit: Since a few of you were curious, the bulk of the lengthy reply were other mods I thought might work with TJM and I thought I wouldn't clutter this thread with all of them. In addition, since Trex would have to get permission to use them, why tease all of you with "what if" until the permissions are in hand.

 

The only portion I covered about Sleheyron was "Well, I believe that Logan23 (the Revenge of Revan guy) was asking for it too. I think you'd have a shot at it as well."

 

Anyway, back to the discussion! ;)

OK, I'm officially throwing this open for beta testing. If you want to play, PM me.

 

To quote myself from the last page... :

If you think you're up for it, contact me! :)

Hi everyone, if you don't mind me asking, how did trex make the picture of revan for the main menu (sorry I can't seem to get LF to quote but it was on page 2) did he change the mainmenu01 model somehow, or not?

 

Also, is this mod available to download yet, the 1.0 version is no longer available on filefront or on megaupload(damn sopa)

 

Thanks and good luck with the mod Trex.

 

EDIT: Just read through page 3, has Trex re-uploaded the 1.0 yet or would someone who has the files be kind enough to send me them?

 

i thought the sopa act got cancelled

OK, new job for any volunteers :

 

I am now trying to fill up all the unvoiced roles in the mod. If you want to apply for voice acting, PM me! I'm not after anything too large but I have a ton of parts which are three to seven lines which I would like voices for. You don't have to have a perfect voice, but if you want to have a go at 'republic soldier number three' or 'iridonian mercenary' for example, I'd love to hear from you.

i cant wait for the finished version even if the finished version has bugs they can still be fixed. but TJM so far has quiet parts for dialogue which you already know about right trex?

 

Don't worry, the new release has every line of dialog voiced. I'm actually getting quite a lot of volunteers, from this forum and others :)

So, where am I up to now then?

 

New player characters – sorted.

New underwear for everyone, including PCs - sorted.

New outfit for the male pc – sorted.

Planet retextures – Everything finished (about 10 modules needed doing. Not any more.).

Movies – About 12 more to go (out of 30).

Populating emptier modules – sorted.

Creating and adding new placeables to modules – sorted (see pics below).

New appearance for chancellor’s guards – sorted.

New assassination missions added.

 

Well over a hundred bugs fixed thanks to my beta testers. I think the first half of the game is sorted.

 

Voice actors for all the main parts are now sorted, and many of them sound really good.

 

Time for some pics :

 

The female and male PCs each have new underwear, as do the rest of the party members. Nothing too naughty, just something that looks different and decent.

I created some barns/farmhouses and spread them around telos to make it look more like a farming community.

Apart from filling up the streets with as many placeables I could find in the game that made sense, I created two entirely new placeables for Coruscant ; A free standing advert (with four variations), and a bridge to cross overhead occasionally. Looks much more 'Coruscanty' to me now, especially when I fill it up with even more people.

Remember those dodgy looking Calo Nord based private guards from the orginal? Well, now we have these.

As soon as I have a few more voice actors deliver their lines, I should have a cool looking trailer too.

 

Still looking for volunteers for smaller parts of around five to ten lines each!

 

All I need is for you to record some basic mp3s then send them to me. PM me if interested!

Grr. Just learned how to do lens flares and saw it makes the fmv scenes look even better, so I will now probably have to redo a bunch of them.

 

Damn my desire to learn new skills! :D
