How should I credit it?

Getting credit is not my goal. Use model as you want.

Darth InSidious · 02-24-2006, 12:12 PM

As you wish

The_Maker · 02-25-2006, 04:05 PM

Huh, lookin' kewl.
Meesa likesa that sword...sa

The evil atris doesn't look very... evil.
More like a bad hairday with contact lenses and makeup

(The clothing looks too light to be a dark and evil red, the eyes look greenish yellow instead of redish orange, and the skin and lips look too drastic.)

Just my opinion though

**Jae Onasi** · 02-26-2006, 12:32 AM

This is going to be one majorly cool mod! I'm looking forward to playing this one when you finish it!

Darth InSidious · 03-02-2006, 01:53 PM

Thanks! I look forward to finishing it too!

The Source · 03-02-2006, 07:49 PM

I like what I see so far.

Nice Job Man!

L0rdReV@n88 · 03-03-2006, 11:53 AM

oooo my god that looks so cool the circular room is that the councels room from the scene? its looks great good luck hope you get it done quick but to the full extent of it. cant wait

Darth InSidious · 03-03-2006, 12:33 PM

Thanks!

Mac, I may have something for you to test sometime soon

I've sorted out the problems with textures in those screenshots (some areas just appear to be black)...Turns out I missed out a couple of textures for renaming/texturing...*facepalm*

I have encountered one problem with the custom layout/module texture editing - when you try and leave these areas, you almost always crash the game. D'oh!

Cool! I will be waiting.

lord ignarn · 03-08-2006, 05:58 AM

This is really cool!!! Could you post some kind of "diary of the mod"?. I mean, to use it as a tutorial.

Darth InSidious · 03-08-2006, 08:35 AM

Err, maybe. At the moment, though, a lot of the "diary" would be:
"sat around and bashed head against the wall, asking why I had cursed myself to endless frustration by beginning this blasted thing", or "tried [x]. It failed. It shouldn't have done. Damn the world.".

As to a tutorial, a better person for writing a tut on new planets would probably be RedHawke, who is rather the father of planet mods (and the only person to have released an entirely new planet within the original story to date).

**RedHawke** · 03-08-2006, 11:56 PM

I see many people asking for Tutorials on making new planets, but it just cannot be done, especially catering to newer modders, here's why...

You have to have basic knowledge of modding the game first...
You must know how to use KotOR Tool.
You must know about dialogs.
You must know about character files.
You must know about scripting, I cannot stress this one enough.
You must know about placeables, the horror... The Horror!
You must know how the area .git files work.

In the end you have to have a working knowledge of quite a bit before you attempt to tackle this kind of mod, I could write a tutorial, but you would not understand it unless you were capable in the areas as I listed above, and by then you could figure it out on your end quite easily, and wouldn't need a tutorial anyway.

Darth InSidious · 03-17-2006, 02:01 PM

A small promo, to show off the first of (hopefully) three lightsabres in the finished product. This one is (at the moment) Ulic's Light Side sabre. The final version will be green, not blue, and I will have skinned it:

Jackel · 03-17-2006, 02:47 PM

Nice looking saber DIS. Would be nice to have a blue version as well when you are finished making the green one. And a red version. And a purple version and a ... Um yeah All the colours. But I can do that myself.

Darth InSidious · 03-17-2006, 02:51 PM

I'll see about releasing the sabres for the mod individually

L0rdReV@n88 · 03-17-2006, 03:29 PM

great looking saber

Darth InSidious · 03-19-2006, 03:29 PM

DS Lightsabre for Ulic Qel-Droma. Will be red-bladed.

The_Maker · 03-20-2006, 01:09 AM

WOW O_O

I love it, nice and shiny

L0rdReV@n88 · 03-20-2006, 07:42 AM

sweet thats a nice looking one there

Darth InSidious · 06-26-2006, 02:46 PM

*Casts of the dust-sheets and brushes some dust off the thread*
*Coughing fit* Damned dust

Oookay. It's been some time since I've updated on my modding projects, so I thought I'd do so now. I'll admit it: I haven't done a great deal since the last time I updated this mod. Nonetheless, here is a rough approximation of everything I have done:

K1 modding done in the last 3 months:

TSL modding done in the last 3 months:

I've also come up with a more...unique model for Ulic's LS sabre.

Yes, the glowing green Candalore-lookalike is a new Ghost Ulic.
Yes, the guy in the K1 pics is meant to be Ming the Merciless (I was gonna release it on RH's birthday, but I didn't get around to it).
The main background in that K1 picture is of a new Tatooine Dueling Arena I've been doing a bit of work on.
The sword in that picture I call P'tang.

The pictures in the top-left corner show some recent experiments in walkmesh editing gone wrong, and also, it seems that Bioware originally intended there to be 6 tombs in the Valley of the Dark Lords, as opposed to 4...

I should add that not everything in these pictures is necessarily going to be used by me. It's just stuff I've done.

Pavlos · 06-26-2006, 03:28 PM

Hey! Looking good. Mind posting a bigger picture of the Valley of the Dark Lord's experiment? And the Tatooine duelling arena. Looks interesting

.

Darth InSidious · 06-26-2006, 03:47 PM

Sure!
Tatooine Arena
Walkmesh experiment 1
Walkmesh experiment 2
Walkmesh experiment 3
Walkmesh experiment 4
Walkmesh experiment 5
Walkmesh experiment 6

(NB: These aren't separate experiments - they're all from the same one - aside from the Tatooine arena shot, which is from an entirely different project)

Darth InSidious · 08-23-2006, 09:16 AM

lord ignarn · 08-23-2006, 10:43 AM

About the competition may it be the atrium from your Rhen Var mod?

Anyway the mod looks very cool, as those mods for k1. I hope you are able to finish them quickly so we can have other reason to play TSL and K1.

, as for your competition, I have no idea... a bith instrument.

Darth InSidious · 08-23-2006, 04:54 PM

I'm afraid both answers are incorrect, but here's a clue: tree rate minx (anag.)

@mav: LOL, yeah, I'm not too good at guns, but I'm hoping it'll look better once its skinned...

chubbslegend · 08-23-2006, 06:03 PM

It looks like that thing from KoTOR 1 with the rings where you have to transfer the power from each one.

Darth InSidious · 08-23-2006, 06:18 PM

Sorry, not that either

It looks like the tree houses/walkway or lift on Kashyyyk. Yes? no?

Btw, it all looks excellent, can't wait! woot!

Darth InSidious · 09-18-2006, 06:52 AM

I'm afraid not, but as a clue, it isn't something from either KotOR, or indeed from the Star Wars universe at all

And don't forget my original clue: tree rate minx (anag.)

McTitan · 09-18-2006, 08:53 AM

cool work you have done darth!!!

as for the competition, I have no idea...'thinking'

FieryDove · 10-23-2006, 12:23 PM

I like the sword alot...but then I'm weird too...lol

4815162342 · 11-12-2006, 05:31 PM

so when are these things going to be released?

Darth InSidious · 11-12-2006, 06:10 PM

When they're done

lord ignarn · 11-14-2006, 09:04 AM

A classic answer for a classic question. By the way What the **** was that image? That competition has standed for too much time IMO.

4815162342 · 11-14-2006, 09:34 AM

so they're not done yet I guess?

MetalMark · 11-14-2006, 11:34 AM

Rhen Var looks great! As for the competiton is it the grip (dont know if you call it that but the place were you grab it) of a sword.

4815162342 · 11-14-2006, 12:07 PM

For the competion, is that a picture of the gun below?

Darth InSidious · 11-14-2006, 02:11 PM

I'm afraid not.

@ignarn: True.

The answer is this:
The top of one of these

I was gonna make a helmet shaped like the dome and grid-bit. Unfortunately, it's rather ground to a halt...I want to get it just right, and also have shifted focus to Rhen Var for the moment

Also, no these aren't complete, hence they are in a 'Work In Progress' thread

One or two of the earlier things have been released - see post #63

Darth InSidious · 11-16-2006, 02:09 PM

Well, this seems as good a time as any to show off the latest piece of work done on Rhen Var: it's addition to the galaxy map!

I will change its position to a more realistic one ASAP
