Toasty Fresh Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm still skeptical about this, but are you planning on adhering to canon with this storyline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth-ackbar Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 I will be adhering to all canonical sources that I know about in the story. However, if I add something that is not in keeping with canon, please tell me so I can research and rectify if nesecary. One of my major goals is to create a story that does not interfere with canon in the way that many TC mods out there seem to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Drexl Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 You could also learn and try to do it yourself. This Good luck with this thing anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Fett Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 To add to what DI said, if you look at the Cantina on Onderon, that area is also based on the Taris Cantina's from KotOR I. The layout is exactly the same, just with a new texture job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 ^Not quite. The Onderon cantina has one room fewer than the Taris cantinas, as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slstoev Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Well, you can't count the arena though I think. That's a separate area on the same map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snard Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I am curious as to how you will get VO's for these returning characters. Unless you can get the same voice actors(which is highly unlikely), or have people who can perfectly mimick their voices, then you might want to rethink the set of characters in the game.

Darth InSidious Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Well, you can't count the arena though I think. That's a separate area on the same map. I wasn't including the arena. The Taris cantina, though, has a circular 'hub' area, with four rooms off it; the Onderon cantina has only three rooms off it, as I recall.

Marius Fett Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 ^I've got a feeling you may be correct, DI. I don't think the big square room where the Duel Organizer/Bounty Hunter Office are in KotOR is in the TSL version of the cantina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateHK47 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 NAME: Erin FACTION: Sand People GENDER: Male BIO: A young warrior for the Sand People, Erin's clan were wiped out by the sith. Joining you to seek revenge, he is a hateful warrior who is strong and can rip enemies apart with his moddified gaffi stick. His sidequest is that while on a planet (any), rumer has it it is a sand person. By investigating and talking (you can only find out his clan was wiped out by talking to him), you find his father, and you get the chance to redeem Erin and make him good or ditch Erin and get another party member? (last part is just an idea) DJW EDIT: NAME FROM URIN , to ERIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorge Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Uh, take a look at the name again. Take your time. Snard, you make me laugh. But I agree, "Urin" doesn't sound appropriate to a Star Wars name. But we don't have rules for imagination. But seriously, take a look at the name again. And its also very creative that you are using the Sand People species, as most people do not use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen Guardian Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Uh, take a look at the name again. Take your time. Maybe he should make it Urrihn? And the h is silent? I really didn't realize it looked like urine until you pointed it out Snard. I was pronouncing it as Err-in. But anyway, I wish you luck with your project darth-ackbar.

Can everyone please stop saying that his character has a bad name, that's the name he chose and i don't have a problem with it, however if you want to change it DJW, now is the time I am curious as to how you will get VO's for these returning characters. Unless you can get the same voice actors(which is highly unlikely), or have people who can perfectly mimick their voices, then you might want to rethink the set of characters in the game. Yes i'm currently unsure about that, however I only have about four characters that use human VO's, and i'm not worried about HK because I can edit his dialogue in goldwave. For the others, if anyone can do a good Bastila, Canderous, Vandar or Dustil please contact me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrob41 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Some Party Members: * 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.* Hmm... sounds familiar: Kaila Saris age 20-26 Pilot/ smuggler Female/species-Human She was arrested transporting arms to the exchange. When your party escapes the Republic's ship, she will fly you to Natta Hutt’s space station. She is confronted by her contact about her failure. You will be given a side quest to go to a planet and get some arms and bring them to the space station. The Exchange will attack Natta Hutt and take over the station completely. You can do this or double cross your contact and tell Natta Hutt and aid him in getting rid of the exchange from the space station. Nindo Bahr Male/ species-Duros Mechanic, tech upgrades Nindo Bahr is expert in creating new weapons. He can alter your armor and weapons. The Duro has a dark humor to him. He is Kaila’s smuggling partner. Nindo actually worked on the Ebon Hawk back when it was owned by Davik. His father was Davik’s top mechanic. Nindo’s father died on Taris when the Sith attacked. Nindo survived the attack along with a few friends and his mother. Nindo then started to work on a new ship using the basic design of the Ebon Hawk. Kaila and Nindo meet up and start working for the Hutts as well as the Exchange Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you shouldn't use the names and characters that you're proposing, I just find it humorous that the Kaila name sounds so similar. Is it a reference to a celebrity or someone on Wookieepedia or something that I'm unaware of? I also fully understand how choosing the species of party members can be limited. A Duros mechanic on a starship just makes sense. At first glance, I thought that Yaru Nesh's father worked for Vella the Hutt (which would be similar to our Nindo Bahr's history with his father working for Davik). On second read, I take it that Yaru Nesh worked for both Vella and Vella's father, right? That's different enough for a large Star Wars galaxy. 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.* Again, familiar: Ancient Builder droid: The Droid will be found in the ruins on Corellia. The droid will be damaged but you can find parts to fix the droid. The droid will argue with HK-47. The droid’s side quest will be about the history of the Infinity Empire and a secret chamber which can be discovered if you fix the droid to 100 percent. The Droid will aid you in your quest. You find the broken droid on Corellia but only after you get to Duro that you find a similar droid with the piece which can be used to make the droid full operational. After Corellia you can have the droid in your party. [...] Dustil Onasi: (Male/ species- human) You will only be able to meet and recruit Dustil if Revan was light side in kotor1. Dustil will not be a force user when you meet him. You can convince him to go back to the force and either becomes a dark side or light side user. You will come across him in the game after Duro. He will over hear you talking about Revan. Dustil has been working in the area of future trade routes. He will work for the Czerka Corporation which wants to expand its trade in the galaxy. Dustil has given up the use of the force. If you decide to retrain Dustil in the force he will start with a few basic powers. You can also decide to keep Dustil as a non force user. Dustil could be a love interest for the female PC. Later in the game you can reunite Dustil with his father Carth at the end of the game. When you meet Revan, Dustil will thank Revan for saving him from the Sith. You can also push Dustil feeling for his father in a favorable light or unfavorable. This will affect the ending when Dustil meets Carth. Kelborn Male/ species- Mandalorian He was seen in kotor2. The character will be on a secret mission for Mandalore. You will find Kelborn on Rattatak. Kelborn will confront you after your second battle in the Cauldron/ battle arena. He will later tell you that Mandalore is rebuilding the clans as well as their military strength these past 7-10 years. You will come across some old war machines on Duro. HK-47 (droid) a.k.a. HI-52 HK-47 will be found on the Hutt’s space station. He has been sent out by his master Revan to keep tabs on the criminal organizations. You will need HK-47 in order to read and understand your Master’s journal. HK-47 will help you in finding your former Master’s contact. The droid will be its normal violent self. HK-47 will have a different name when you meet him. This alias allows him to infiltrate the Hutts and the Exchange. He will have a new skin body. Hey, Mandalorians and HK-47 are fan favourites, so including them is a no-brainer. Dustil is another (although lesser known) favourite to a lot of players, so including him is a treat. Again, the number of usable models available to choose from provide limits; the builder droid is a cool looking model, and it's history is tied in with Revan's discovery of the Star Forge. It'll be fun and interesting to see how you develop your characters so that they are unique and distinguisable. The worst thing that could happen is that if people compare your characters with ours, and then start a rediculous "this party is better than that party" war. Personally, I think that each set already has just enough differences (beside the Kaila Saris/Atis name) to be considered distinct. I'm betting that they will become even more different as your story and characterizations develop. I wish you good luck with your mod ( As long as no one PM's you with a female Zeltron bounty hunter named Avinah Tanis wearing a leather outfit as the contest character ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlord664 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 hmm very interesting post redrob41 alot of people would not notice all that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan23 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hey all! I agree with what Redrob41 that there are some similarities which could lead to some players wondering about wither you were inspired by RoR or influenced by it. The biggest or closest ones are the name of Kaila matching my character the pilot and the Duro mechanic/tech which if these two party members are a buddy/ partners will end up ringing to close to RoR's characters. I'm only mentioning this since there will be others who will start to compare and cause confusion and possible issues/tension. A possible solution i can see is simply change Kaila's first name and also change the species of the Duro if the Duro and your Kaila are partners....but I would say you could do a Devaronian or Sullustan. Benefit of a Devaronian is that you can allow different armor to wear while the Duro you can't nor the Sullustan (Sullustan was a co pilot in Return of the Jedi) On the Topic of Plot, Sounds like you want to use canon, with Revan You need to read the Revan book or get the info from someone who read it or the spoilers since you will need it to findout the canon of Mandalore, Bastila, T3-M4, Exile and Revan. Make sure you do your research. Wish you the best on your mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth-ackbar Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Logan, thanks for pointing out the revan book, however i have already read it and in fact much of the later story is based around it. I like your idea of a devaronian/sullustan but is it not possible to make the duros change armour in appearance.2da? I will think about changing kaila's name when I have the time, unless someone is strongly against it. RedRob, I know that is a huge set of coinsidences, however I can assure you that I didn't copy kailas name(maybe it's my subconcious acting up:) .) I confess that the builder droid idea stems from RoR but as you said, Dustil/Jek/HK/Yaru is just coincidence. EDIT: does anyone know how to make a party member into the temporary PC (like with mira in the jek jek tar?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrob41 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Good points there Logan. hmm very interesting post redrob41 alot of people would not notice all that stuff. I started working on RoR 3.5 years ago, so it's on my mind a lot I like your idea of a devaronian/sullustan but is it not possible to make the duros change armour in appearance.2da? No, the vanilla Duros in-game are single body+head models, so they can't change outfits. The only Duro that can wear armour and robes is RoR's Nindo Bahr, and that's only because I re-made a standard head into a custom head model. RedRob, I know that is a huge set of coinsidences, however I can assure you that I didn't copy kailas name(maybe it's my subconcious acting up:) .) I confess that the builder droid idea stems from RoR but as you said, Dustil/Jek/HK/Yaru is just coincidence. Yeah, I kinda think of it as a compliment, that RoR is in the back of everyone's mind .
