***Darth333*** · 07-09-2005, 07:59 PM

Since the old thread has disappeared, let<s start a new one...

This is just to announce that we just posted the weekly mod report at StarWarsKnights.com .

I hope I did not forgot any HL modder. If I did so, just PM me.

Keep up with the good work everyone!

Agreed!

At least we didn't lose the StarWarsKnights page!

Finally, Stoffe -mkb- updated his TSLPatcher to help modders make mods compatible with each other.

I should perhaps mention that the 1.1.3 file was just a "quick update" to add a specific feature someone asked for, since the "real" next version is taking some time.

As such, that archive only contained the patcher EXE itself and not the TalkEd and ChangeEdit utility programs that are useful for configuring the tslpatcher, or that mess of a readme that describes a bit of how it works.

Could be a bit confusing if someone who hasn't downloaded the previous version before gets that archive from the Tools page, since it's just an EXE that does nothing when run in that state.

***Darth333*** · 07-10-2005, 08:48 AM

ok, thanks Stoffe. Unfortunately I did not have the time to test the update prior posting the news. I just fixed that on the news page and on the download page. If there is any other innacuracy, please let me know.

Thanks. The link to download v1.1.2 results in a 404 Not Found page, but other than that I don't think there are any more problems.

(I think the two extra spaces before the filename in the URI causes that...)

***Darth333*** · 07-10-2005, 02:59 PM

argh! Just fixed it: it was a stupid copy/paste mistake. Sorry about that.

**Prime** · 07-11-2005, 08:43 AM

DId we "lose" any mods due to the post loss?

***Darth333*** · 07-11-2005, 09:00 AM

Yes, we lost a few ones

but I've PMd the authors.

Ah, OK. I knew you'd be on top of things. I'll keep an eye out for this weeks mods for next weeks report.

I'm glad you posted this Prime

I checked the link on SWK.com that was pointing to my Ba-Dur Armor and it leads to a completely different LucasForum

Should I make another "release" thread for the Bao-Dur Armor? It's been out for awhile... so I'm not sure what you moderator types would prefer

Its at PCGM isn't it? Is all you lost the link, or am I not getting something?

Sure, go ahead! I pMd only the authors who have posted their mods on other external sites than PCGM but I encourage you to start a new thread!

Will do

If for nothing else, at least it'll "reside" to report bugs and such .. hehehe

@DarthMoeller

The links over at SWK.com usually point to the LucasForums release thread for that particular mod. So that visitors will not only know the link to follow for the mod, but they will know that a thread exists for the mod in order to report problems/feedback/etc.

EDIT: Done!

the new URL is:

http://www.lucasforums.com/showthrea...hreadid=149501

**Prime** · 07-17-2005, 11:21 PM

The mod report for this week is up on swknights.com...

CDRSeadog · 07-19-2005, 10:52 AM

*chuckles* Leave it up to the lovely lady, Darth333:-)

Anyway - just posted up your new "Weekly Holowan Laboratories Mod Report" over at both RPGDot, and at KotORDot (see links below):

http://kotor.rpgdot.com/

http://www.rpgdot.com/

Additionally, I'd enjoy hearing from some of you (i.e. Darth333, Prime, Achilles, ChAiNz.2da, etc.) regarding our very same KotORDot website...not only am I looking for new AdventureDot Editors (hey - as Editor-In-Chief, I deserve a break:-), but I've been running the idea across my "CEO" to "staff up" some of our mostly dead "affiliate websites" like KotORDot, SiegeDot, MorrowindDot, etc...and I am open to ideas and suggestions:-)

Take care...until next report!!!

I thought I had seen you browsing here, and sure enough you post this not too soon afterwards... hehehe

I just came from your KotORDot site to be honest (before even seeing this)... Everything is looking great man

and again, I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for us here... (though I regret having missed out on this week's report)...

no worries, I have a Booster Pack mod that may be ready for next week's ...hehehe

and I agree, as EIC.. you definitely need a break... that's why you have "lackies" isn't it

Always good to see you around my friend

CDRSeadog · 07-19-2005, 01:07 PM

Ahhh ChAiNz.2da...always a pleasure to see you, my friend - and thank you. Btw - I might have an "offer you can't refuse" re KotORDot (if you might be interested)...just let me know:-)

Simbacca · 07-19-2005, 05:57 PM

there was also and interesting, and clever, little KotOR 1 mod released.

it was called Spectrumsaber. it creates a saber crystal that when put in a lightsaber, the blade changes colors from red to blue to yellow to green and everything in between.

now i had to make some alterations to this after i downloaded it to allow it to exist without replacing any other saber, as well as to add a short spectrumsaber as well. i am about to work on adding a double spectrumsaber.

now i am not sure if the maker, DarthChooie, is Holowan modder or not come to think of it. prolly why the mod was left off the list...

i still think its clever though

CDRSeadog · 07-20-2005, 10:55 AM

Oh, and a pleasure to hear from you as well, Achilles:-)

**stingerhs** · 07-23-2005, 01:47 AM

well, i just posted the latest stuff @ the site.....

**ChAiNz.2da** · 07-30-2005, 02:41 PM

Well, the hazing is over (at least I think it is)

and so now it comes down to the "initiation".

I could've sworn those things were supposed to be the same, but the others keep telling me "No, No.. they're seperate"
why do they always laugh & wink to each other after they say that?... hehehe

-----------

Anywho... I've just posted this week's Mod Report over at StarWarsKnights so go take a peek and give the hard-working modders here a big

"Way To Go!"

If you notice anything I've missed, don't hesitate to let me know and I'll post the corrections

Enjoy!

General Kenobi · 07-30-2005, 03:48 PM

Thanks for the include ChAiNz

*tk102* · 07-30-2005, 03:50 PM

Though I didn't really meet your deadline, I *just* released some XML-GFF conversion utilities on swk.com. ...

Check out your release thread - ChAiNz.2da

**RedHawke** · 07-30-2005, 09:29 PM

Thanks as well for the publicity there ChAiNz!

CDRSeadog · 07-31-2005, 09:40 AM

In case anyone had not noticed - I've been offline for roughly 9.5 days after my cable internet connection "gave up the ghost" (so to speak)...anyway - the main reason I mention this is to let some of you know that my old e-mail address has now changed, and that any e-mail sent to me by you on or after 20 thru 29 July 2005 was never received, and now impossible to retrieve (seeing as how I now have a different ISP

Be that as it may - I did notice today that ChAiNz.2da did a most excellent job with his "initiation"...you are certainly welcomed to visit either RPGDot and/or our affiliate KotORDot and see for yourselves

http://kotor.rpgdot.com/
http://www.rpgdot.com/

**Btw, I did update my e-mail address here at the Holowan *chuckles*

***Darth333*** · 07-31-2005, 09:51 AM

Thanks for posting this over at rpgdot.com CDRSeadog

Always good to see you on the boards! Hope you like the new look!

**ChAiNz.2da** · 07-31-2005, 10:21 AM

CDR! you old "Seadog"

It's always a pleasure when you visit us!

And you flatter me... seriously, you used big words that made me go to dictionary.com to find out what you were calling me..

hehehe

"indefatigable" - Incapable or seemingly incapable of being fatigued; tireless.
I really need to boost my vocabulary

Thank you for the posts my friend, you're constantly helping us out and we really appreciate you and all the effort you put into giving the modders here a little recognition... I don't know how we could ever repay you, but at least know that you've always got the support and gratitude of the entire Holowan Labs roster. Plus many of us who like to call you a friend

CDRSeadog · 08-03-2005, 11:51 AM

It takes some getting used to, lady Darth333 - but yes, it is a much more pleasant look to the Holowan.

Always a pleasure to see and hear from you. I'm keeping busy at AdventureDot - you know, hiring in some new staff, going over resumes, researching new project ideas...it is getting the the point that I find it difficult to even find the time to settle back with a cold schooner or two of beer *chuckles*

Still...always a pleasure:-)

**Oh - be on the lookout to your e-mail in the next day or so. We are still rotfloao over a rather amusing prank I played upon my fellow Editors over at RPGDot last Sunday...I'd explain it all here but for the fact I can't upload the photograph (and you know what they say - a picture is worth a thousand words).

CDRSeadog · 08-03-2005, 12:03 PM

Indeed, ChAiNz.2da...to be very honest - that is how my parents taugh me anything.

If I wanted to know how to spell a word, or even to know what the word might mean - I was told "Go look it up in the Dictionary"!!

If I wanted to know some odd or end of information - I was told "Go look it up in the Encyclopedia (or whatever applicable book or series of books we had at the house)"!!

Juxtaposition that with the fact that I was fortunate enough to have some very inspiring and encouraging teachers throughout my youngest academic days (and having a G.I. Bill to finance my way through my college years with one of my majors in English)...and all of this has made me the gentleman I am to this day:-)

I will always be more than happy to support the efforts of you all here at the Holowan...you all most certainly dedicate your own personal hours, efforts, talents, and even sometimes money in order that fellow gamers might get more out of their game than the developer could have ever originally imagined possible...even I still try my hand at both KotOR and KotOR 2 once in a while just to see how one of the new Holowan mods and/or tools would work:-)

And it is always a pleasure to hear from you as well, my friend:-)

CDRSeadog · 08-06-2005, 09:06 AM

Btw, I don't know who is doing this week's "Weekly Holowan Mod Report" for StarWarsKnights.com, but I did catch your newsbit entitled "George Lucas, Eyes The Future"...so you may very well want to peruse either RPGDot or KotORDot to see my own spin on your report *chuckles*

***Darth333*** · 08-06-2005, 08:22 PM

The new weekly mod report has just been posted

Keep up the good work everyone!

CDRSeadog · 08-07-2005, 01:01 PM

I know...good job, lady Darth333 - if you feel like blushing - then just mosey on over to either RPGDot or KotORDot - I just did my little newsbit re your report *chuckles*

CDRSeadog · 08-14-2005, 11:19 AM

Nice job on this week's "Holowan Mod & Utility Report", my friend...I just posted it (albeit with my own, unique spin on it) over on our RPGDot and KotORDot websites:-)

*T7nowhere* · 08-14-2005, 11:46 AM

Cool.

CDRSeadog · 08-21-2005, 07:26 PM

T7nowhere - that's a rather uncomplimentary photograph of you, *chuckles*

Be that as it may - I have just finished doing my "spin doctor" touch on Prime's most excellent weekly holowan report - you all should know where to observe my reporting of what the Holowan is doing by now:-)

***Darth333*** · 08-27-2005, 11:47 PM

Another week, some more mods...check out the summary to make sure you didn't miss anything: http://www.starwarsknights.com/

(and if I'm the one who missed something, let me know

)

**RedHawke** · 08-28-2005, 12:28 AM

^^^^
The link to stoffe's mods thread needs to be fixed.

Other than that it's cool!

CDRSeadog · 08-29-2005, 03:48 PM

I wasn't around to do any reporting yesterday, so I didn't get to make the lady Darth333 blush until this afternoon - when I once again did my newsbit re her Weekly Mod Release report over on StarWarsKnights.com which (of course) can be seen either at RPGDot, or on our KotORDot websites:-)
