[WIP] Knights of the Old Republic : The Jedi Masters 2.0

[LDR]

Congrats Trex! I'm proud to have beta tested this little slice of heaven.

[Zhaboka]

Holy lawd that sounds complicated. Good luck sorting through all of that! I can't wait for this sexy baby to be complete. Except I can. 'Cuz WID. But you know that I mean. Turn of phrase. Okay. I'm done.

[SS4Revan]

I just played the 1.0 of this mod, and it was epic. Truly epic, I really liked Tsig, and I hope that this 2.0 will not have those nasty loading screen bugs. I cant wait

[Trex]

Each of the six endings are now at the point where I can play through each of them in one go without the game crashing. I am now halfway through a thorough playthrough of a LS character, after which I'll be having one with a DS character.

After which, I shall be releasing the mod. Theoretically, I would only like to release TJM after every single tiny bug has been fixed, bug I don't think that's really plausible for a mod as large as this and with a team this small behind it. Even with myself and several bug testers repeatedly playing it from beginning to end, we could still be finding bugs by this time next year.

I therefore believe the sensible thing to do is release what I have to the public and then let them inform me of the bugs they find. It will be a very advanced beta, with the only real problems I expect will be typos, camera angles being weird etc.

The only serious bugs I can see occuring is with weird combinations of player choices, which happen across large peroids of time. For instance, if you fully complete your Jedi training, but decide you want to turn to the dark side in the final hour of the game, you may find something collapses. They aren't something I can see players finding very often though.

So, my LS playthrough should be finished by the end of the weekend, and hopefully the minor bug fixes and DS game will olny take a week or so. I'm thinking something like the 17th of December for a release so everyone can play during the Christmas holidays.

[razorxp]

trex that great news you ending your total conversion.some great news finally.

[Zhaboka]

You're a saint! Don't rush putting it out there like the last KotOR-related Christmas release, though.

[CptPriceless]

That's awesome dude! Must've been tedious work; glad you pulled through.

That's my birthday. :P

[Trex]

Just finished my full LS playthrough! Woo-hoo!

It was really awesome to go through the entire thing from beginning to end with every voiced line and cinematic movie.

According to my save game, it took 11h34m of gameplay to get to the end, so I'm also very satisifed at the length of it.

There were some troubles along the way, but I fixed them as I went. The only bugs remaining that I know of are where the sound files have gotten mixed up (Revan speaks, but it's bastila's voice that comes out etc). All very easy to fix, in fact I can probably do them all while having my cup of tea in the morning.

Next up, the dark side playthrough!

[Zhaboka]

AHHH EXCITEMENT. Good luck with your dark side baddie run-through!

[Scorge]

Awesome, I'm REALLY excited to play this mod when its released I loved the first one, and I bet you I'm gonna love this one.

[Warlord664]

I never finished your first one because I've been waiting for this one to come out, i'm sure it will be awesome. I'm glad i'll something new and cool to play this christmas. You've done a magnificent job.

[UltimateHK47]

If its 11h34m for you, its most likely gonna be 12h+ for the average player, since you know exactly what to do and whats in it. by "full" do you mean all sidequests/romance/minigames completed?

[Trex]

Pretty much. There were a few sidequests I couldn't complete though, so in theory I could have been playing it even longer.

I think I'll be putting together a wiki for the mod on Sunday so everyone has access to a walkthrough.

[Bane's Heart]

Awesome its almost the 17th, looking forward to seeing more progress Trex!

[Col_Zechs]

The mod is going to be completed and released on the 17th of December?

[Bane's Heart]

That's not really the official release date, he just aims to finish bug fixing the mod by that time.

I've seen a great large mod been released early and absolutely ridden with bugs, so make sure you talk to your beta testers and thoroughly test it so we can have a smooth experience!

[Col_Zechs]

So it's just going to be a beta release that day?

[CptPriceless]

Best Christmas gift... after several other things.

In all seriousness, I'm glad to hear that you finally got everything to work out. Don't mean to press the due dates here, but 3 more days!

[Trex]

Yes, it's going to be a public beta release next week. There will be some flaws with it which I haven't been able to find yet, but it should also be very playable.

I've finished my DS playthrough, gone through the next set of bugs I found, and currently have 10 more to fix which shouldn't take too long. I'm still hoping to release what I have on Monday, but don't be too surprised if it's a couple of days late.

[Col_Zechs]

Cool

[razorxp]

everyone i have good news THIS mod tjm 2.0 beta IS RELASED in http://www.the-jedi-masters.com/

[Col_Zechs]

Anakin:Yipeeeee!

[Bane's Heart]

O_O how did you compress it into 963 MB? For a mod that goes for 11 hours I would've thought it'd be a hefty download.

Can't wait to play it!

[Sith Holocron]

Since the beta has been released and announced as such in Taris Upper City Emporium, should we all be using that TUCE thread to comment?

I'm happy to keep both threads open for a while at least. it's released, but it's also a beta so I'm not sure if it counts as finished or not.

The exe compressed it down to 963MB, but uncompressed I think it's 2.17GB.

[Bane's Heart]

Possibly. Do you have a link to the specific mod?

I'm referring to these force powers mods, High Level Force Powers V2, Lost Force Powers Pack, Three New Force Crushes, Full Force Mod, Force Exhaustion, Force Concentration (1.0), and Remove Restrictions for Force Powers by Armors. Are these compatible?

I think Trex needs links to where you download them. Don't make him Google for you!

[Col_Zechs]

You can find them all here.http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/

I think they should be alright, but I haven't been through all of the files.

I will say that the only unique force powers in TJM are Ootataa's shapeshifting abilities, so I think the worst that could happen is you loose them.

Is it ok to install the Warp and Cheat band?

I think so, but keep in mind that warping won't work with the mod (by which I mean it will take you somewhere completely different to where you want to be), and any cheats that apply to party members probably won't work either.

[Col_Zechs]

I just need it for workbench upgrades console.

[Col_Zechs]

I'm trying to replace the first Caucasian male head for the game and when I switch heads he's a black guy in game. How do I replace PC Character heads in the game?

[Darth_Delator]

Tried half of this.
WHOEVER voiced Kannos, Exile,Kreia and some others secondary characters - you did a FANTASTIC JOB! I'm your fan from this moment and happy knowing that among Star Wars fans there such a talanted voice actors!
Shame that the CORE characters like Revan, Bastila, and others like Supreme Chancellor and scientist was voiced in such a POOR way..., by people with speech impediments. When i first heared Bastila's monologue, i was crying, literally...And when met Revan and discovered that legendary general has a voice of 13 y.0. teenager, my whole epic impression was complitely smashed....
Nevertheless, Trex. You did AMAIZING job - to handle such amaunt of work yourself it's something that realy deserves admiration! I realy HOPE that developing of this mod will never stop on this point, and there will be "Jedi Masters 3.0" Also suggesting you to open donation pool, i'm sure that lot's of true fans of KotOR will help you to bring this mod on entirely new level!
Thank you again, Trex! And May the Forve be with you
