Hey guys,
i just want you to know that the new update is nearly finished.
i will upload it as soon as possible, and i will also add some new screens.
the major changes in this update are the Korriban textures, but i´ve also reworked some of the textures i´ve already finished, like the very glossy ones on dantooine.
Now, i first keep working on the planets and level textures. When i finished those planets textures, i will start to make completely new models and textures for every character you see in-game. I will start with the player-characters and the players party and then the NPCs.
but i will also remake the vanilla textures, and offer the option, to choose between the old and new models, because maybe new hd models will cause problems on old computers
Whats completely new is, that i will try to remake all the vids you can see in the game, that will be real hard work and will take lots of time, but i think it´s possible.
If you guys may want to have a forum, where you can write things, please say to me, what you want, and i will provide it to you.
thats it so far
Greetings

Hello thunder3!
It would be nice to have a way to communicate with you direcly. I read this update of yours with big interest and I would like to offer you my advice/opinion: focus your work on HD textures first and only when you are ready with that, start with something new. I am telling you this because having many ambitious goals may end up having a negative effect instead of a boost of enthusiasm.
Keep up the great job!
first thanks man,
then i think you´re right, i can´t make a million things one time, so I will make all step by step, so I can get the best result possible
I´ve also added now a forum, with a board called "discuss-board", where you can easily write to me, where read it with garanty
I suggest focusing on the graphical improvements and not to worry about improving the videos any time soon (or ever). While the idea of new videos is nice, I really don't mind the videos as they are and the in-game graphics are way more important in my opinion.
Re-Mastering the cut-scenes is quite time-intensive.
Even though it's an admirable goal.
I say concentrate on the textures. The Vids are a minor thing, and most of the cool scenes are rendered ingame anyway.
If you are going to attempt to remake the vids, my suggestion would be to look at brotherhood of shadow and see what Silveredge did to make them ingame videos, as opposed to rendered stuff, and then do the same thing for the the visions, etc... because it would just look much better than any vid would. Obviously things like bombing Taris, and other vids like that need to be .bik movies, but I'm sure you get my drift.
If you want a forum for communication, my suggestion would be to go to deadlystream.com and request a modder's account. The community is very supportive, and it is a great place to show off your work and talk wiht people.
Also, you may have heard of this mod Link= Lucasforums.com
it seems to be no longer in production, but I was wondering, how like that mod yours will end up being?
You've also expressed an interest in possibly doing TSL in the future, would the scope of the TSL version, be like the seemingly also dead, TSL Massive Improvement Mod?
thanks for your advices, i think i will follow them
the first mod for kotor ive never heard but the kotor 2 i know, and when i finished this mod with the fullrange of.improvemnts i can do, i will do.the same to tsl
