darth-ackbar Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hi guys, I'm announcing my new mod for TSL, which essentially creates a new game, KotOR 3. So I'm going to give a quick story outline and you can tell me what you think. 15 years after the events of TSL, the republic is in disarray, a small band of sith are striking from beyond the unknown regions, destroying space stations and colonies the republic has worked so hard to rebuild. On Nar Shaadaa, a Jedi outcast, master Kotho'Epp, believes that these sith have a connection to Revan, and answers the Jedi order desperately seek lie with him. The problem is, he and his two apprentices are stuck as refugees on Nar Shaadaa... Well what do you think, I have a lot more storyline but I don't want to give anything away just yet. If you have any questions, or are interested in helping just write in this thread, or PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgod Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=207884 ^ This. Considering this is literally your first post and you just joined today, I have absolutely no idea what your modding capabilities are, therefore I am assuming that this is wayyy too ambitious. However, I've been proven wrong more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhaboka Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 This will be the sixth or seventh new TC this year, five or six of which have failed, one or two of which are still chugging along. Good luck, you're gonna need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darth-ackbar Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 To everyone who thinks this is too ambitious, I totally understand your pessimism and I know this is a huge undertaking but I do have past experience modding and even making games from scratch. I believe I am capable of doing this. I have already planned out about 80% of the story and have a good idea about where I'm going to go with this project. I know it will take more than this post to reassure you but I will be releasing bits of the storyline over the next few days. Again, if anyone is interested in helping, it would be helpful. Canderis, I have read that previously and I think that I have covered those points in my plan. Thanks for pointing that out though. SOME MORE INFO: Current List Of Planets: Nar Shaddaa Nal Hutta Sleheyron Dantooine Taris Onderon Korriban Lehon Dromund Kaas Nathema Some Party Members: Kotho'Epp: An outcast in the Jedi order, Kotho'Epp sought refuge on Nar Shaddaa after the great Jedi purge. *There he found two orphaned siblings strong in the force and trained them. Now his two apprentices, Ceedra Mailra and your character, regard him as both a master and a friend. * Ceedra Malira: Ceedra has trained alongside you your entire life, although Kotho'Epp decided to keep the fact you are related to himself, you both feel that there is a bond between you, which gives strength to you both. * Kaila Atis: This woman works as a freelance mercenary, and she is known across the galaxy for her impeccable covert skills and her ownership of the fastest ship in the galaxy, the Ebon Hawk.* Yaru Nesh: This duros has worked as technician for Vella the hutt for most of his life, and his father before him. When Vella's palace is overthrown, he becomes one of the few survivors. Although not known for his loyalty, he is a man of his word and serves as a mechanic aboard the Ebon Hawk, he's not bad with a blaster either.* Main Characters: Bastila Shan: A member of the Jedi high council, and a secret connection to Revan, Bastila could be valuable on the right side... Zax: Remember the hutt from the Taris dueling ring, turns out he survived Malak's attack and he's waiting on Taris to spill the secrets on the Mysterious Stranger.* Mandalore: Canderous has heard about your search for Revan and he's eager to know how your doing. Although he doesn't show his face until the end, he's keeping tabs on you through a fellow mandalorian,. Master Vandar: The abandoned academy on Dantooine holds many secrets, including Vandar's holocron.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Sounds interesting, I could help with some skinning if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darth-ackbar Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 MrObiWan, when I get to skinning models (next week probably) I'll be grateful for any help you can give as I'm more of a story and programming person. Zhaboka, it will likely be a while before I get to VO's but if your still interested then you can be first in line:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateHK47 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 i wouldn't mind helping around. Not too much as im working on a story conversion with someone but a bhit of scripting and dialouge writng wouldn't hurt. Id do some skins, not modules but items and you could put them in game. Good luck! PS:When i have a job pm me with the details and ill try to do it. Take not im not very experianced so i wont be able to do alot of the hard stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth-ackbar Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 DarthJangoWeasley, thanks for the interest, I'll get back to you if I need help with anything EDIT: @mimartin, sorry about that will do in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Please keep it on topic, everyone made their point about their feeling about the posters ability to pull off such an all encompassing mod. Now either keep it on topic or stop posting here anything else is merely a waste of your time and darth-ackbar time. @darth-ackbar please use the edit button (right lower side of you post in gold “you may: edit…” instead of double or triple posting. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDR Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 If you need any help with story, DLGs revised for grammar errors, or some tips on making modules and skins, feel free to let me know! Again, I wish you best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth-ackbar Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 @LordDeathRay, do you know how to edit the model files for areas. I have edited item models before but I'm having trouble working out how to do this with areas. Also, is it possible to import modules from K1 into TSL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhaboka Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 If only... Porting from K1 to TSL is strictly prohibited here at LucasForums, I believe. However, many of the K1 modules you might want to use may already be somewhere in TSL's game files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snard Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I could help with skinning and DLG editing. There are a few people here on LF that can vouch for me and my skinning skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, many of the K1 modules you might want to use may already be somewhere in TSL's game files. Not just at LF. It's a general prohibition which applies to all KotOR modding. Also, very few if any modules from KotOR I were ported into KotOR II in tact. I can't think of any, in fact. The only areas based on KotOR I areas which are in TSL are: Dantooine/Khoonda modules Korriban - Valley of the Dark Lords, Cave, and Academy Dxun - "Hidden Cache" interior.

There are a lot of skilled modellers on LF who might be willing to help you by creating new modules. You could also learn and try to do it yourself.

Toasty Fresh Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Sorry, this is just a smidge off-topic, but where in K1 was the Cache Interior? I could be wrong but I think it's the Cantina on Tatooine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darth-ackbar Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 SOME MORE INFO: Party Members: Dustil Onasi: Dustil has reverted to his dark side ways, and is terrorizing Sleheyron city. Having already been turned to the light side, only to revert back, Dustil will be hard to recruit. He has much the same personality as what you see in K1, but his appearance is much older and looks a bit more like Carth.* HK-47: Unlike in TSL, HK is more than happy to reveal secrets about Revan when you meet him. It seems that ten years of solitary confinement have taken their toll. HK is now more crazed than he was in previous games (if that's even possible). Although his assassination protocols are still in working order.* Jek: Jek is a mandalorian, he tends to think of his fellow crew members as a lesser species and himself as mandalore. He has a dark humor and gets along with HK very well. Given enough time, he starts to warm to you and will eventually give you the means to talk to mandalore.* Builder Droid: The very same gatekeeper that Revan found 20 years earlier, this droid is more than willing to join you. This guy packs a serious punch, as you will remember from the other droids in the ancient ruins. He also knows things about Revan and the Infinite Empire which could prove vital in your search... The 9th party member I will keep secret, at least until nearer the release date.* IMPORTANT:* I'm giving everyone the opportunity to have their character in the game.* I'm holding a competition for best designed character, the winner will have their character as the 10th party member. All I need to know is the name, gender, species and a short bio of your character. If you win, we can discuss your character in more detail.* REMEMBER: Your character must be a species already in TSL, and your character must not have been a party member in either of the previous games.* PM me your entries, winner will be picked: 12th January, good luck.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
