You know, if you are going to make a voiced dialogue with revan i would encourage this: Make him/her talk in a "machine voice". No i do not mean a computer generated voice, but something like vader. Revan couldve gotten some sort of an injury while fighting the true sith so that s/he has to use some weird of a voice helper device (they do exist, but they sound horrible. You should rather use a voice closer to a human, yet still one without a very recognisable sound. Did anyone understand what im raving here? Im not quite sure i did...). At least i would make revan speak in such a fashion.
Revan will have VOs.
On your idea of having him/her sound like somewhat computer generated, I don't want people to think he sounds like Darth Vader but a voice sounding like he is talking with the mask on could be interesting.
I plan to do some VO test for Revan later in the coming months. Revan's VO along with the Exile's will be handled with care and I might let the community decide on the VO of these two characters by allowing you guys to listen to samples and give feedback to help me on my decision. I do know that no matter how good the Voice is some people will have issues with it.
Well, to those people who think Revan should have no voice: in the first KOTOR, Revan says stuff out loud in-game when you assign him/her to do a task, like enter stealth mode, unlock a door, disarm a mine, etc. That's a VO right there.
Regarding VOs, here is my input on what they should be like:
Revan must sound persuasive. His voice must must likable by just about everyone. It must also have power in it, his words must reach into your heart and implant themselves there.
The Exile is a very empathic character, so her voice should reflect that. Where Revan's persuasion is more of the inspiring, Barack Obama type, the Exile's VOs must have a sense that she is bonding with you just by being present in the same continent.
As of 3/14/10, TSL is restored. The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification by Stoney and Zbyl has been finished and can be downloaded here.
If Revan should have a voice, why not ask the guy that's doing the KOTOR Triilogy movie to do it. An added advantage is that you'll have an added built-in fan base coming along with him . . .

As of 28APR13: I released a new small texture mod! Check it out here.
when you say you want to make revans voice sound like its under a mask, do you mean like mandalores, which is basically a muffled, slightly mechanical voice?

I like how you broke down Revan and the Exile’s personalities.
By the end of the month I will release the list of what will be included in the Demo.
MORE TO COME....
I like how you broke down Revan and the Exile’s personalities.
Well, if you like it so much....
Revan:
Here you have a mastermind tactician, a great persuader, and a supreme Force user. To me this speaks "overperformer". Revan strikes me as a guy who is highly competitive and wants to achieve everything there is to achieve. He knows what he wants and how to get it. He's sort of the Captain Kirk of Star Wars in that he does not believe in no-win scenarios. The idea of loosing or letting people down is probably his greatest fear.
I'd say his weakness would be trust. I get the impression that he's trusted people before and they let him down. His natural instinct was to still trust people but his strategic side started making him very suspicious of others. Unfortunately he wasn't suspicious enough, since he overlooked his closest friend Alek/Malak and nearly died.
Exile to come later.

Just want to say, I have read the plot summary and outline. Without giving you any spoilers as I probably don't have the authority to do so, I can honestly say this conversion has been well conceived and when complete will be one of the best non-restoration mods for KOTOR/TSL out there.
Cheers!

You've really sped along in my prolonged absence.... it's tempting to try to join the team just in order to read what LoH has sketched out for this....
Ah well, glad to see that: A)This is still alive and B)There's a lot of progress made.
Just stopping in to show some pics of Corellia.
These images are of the city which you will be visiting.
I based the images on the reference material found in SWG.
I still have few changes to some trims and touch up here and there but this will basically be Corellia.

Nice! Looks very Corellian. Perhaps you can have a Solo there?
I, for one, approve of the Ewoks. They're a fine representation of the primitive natives doing better in their own environment than the invading white man.
Take that, Avatar.

Here are some shots of Coruscant (The Works/Industrial District) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Works
(the skybox is still not done so ignore it, This also just a plain module without the placeable which will be placed in later)
"I've barely eaten anything for many decades now. It feels like my stomach shriveled into my back........though i don't have a stomach or back because i'm a skeleton! Yohohohoho! SKULL JOKE!"
"My eyes have never seen such a pretty woman! But i'm a skeleton so my eyes don't see much."
my personal favorite of your recently released pictures is the one with the rodian and the window overlooking the ship and the background. I think that the background around the ship is very well executed.
I want to translate this mod in french, for all texts. If you want send me english texts, and i do this quickly. I wan't to join or create a "french team" for that.
& the work for voices after.
Yeah, Nar Shaddaa should work wonderfully as Coruscant when reskinned... especially because you're going for the Industrial look....
Now all we need are some giant monsters and a steam powered star ship.... make KotOR 2: Steampunk...
Anyway, all of the modules look nice, however I think that you might benefit from getting somebody who knows how to model good looking modules in on your team. Not to say that these reskins aren't bad looking -because they're not- but maybe you could add some flavor to it as opposed to simply recycling old modules that everybody knows...
Just a suggestion since a reskin can change the whole feel of a module, but maybe something to ponder Logan.
I have actually been trying to model the Senate Rotunda for this mod, but all I've managed to do so far is create an obj in GoogleSketchUp that might not work in GMax. I asked TriggerGod to take care of the rest but he has a bunch of other projects right now.

I took a look at it in 3ds Max, and it looked... pretty horrid, TBH. It looked like an ax murderer went at the polys, making some of the polys look like they were "flying" out at me while I rotated my view, if you know what I mean. After I heavily edited it, the model looked good. If I can get it so that several hundred people + you can fit in it and look good at the same time, I'll export it... and hope for the best.

I agree with your opinions.
I have really taken a liking to the voice of KevinSocal (YouTube Username: kevinsocal2k6), the creator of KOTOR: The Movie Trilogy, where he Voices Revan.
BTW: If you're having problems with KotOR 2 running on Vista, and also own original KotOR, you can take the file "mss23.dll" from the KOTOR directory and replace the file "Mss23.dll" in the KOTOR 2 directory with it.

I first want to say, I loved the Kotor movie he and his team created
As for using him as the voice of Revan is still being debated.
Once all of Revan's lines/dlg are finalized then I will look into seeing what would be the best voice for the male Revan which could be Kevin but I don't even know if he will have time or be interested in the project.
This will be discuss further into the production of the Final version of RoR.
Thanks for the idea

Senate Rotunda for this mod and other new modules will hopefully be able to make it into the Final version of RoR.
New Modules will be discussed after the Demo is released.

Translating the Mod to French/text can be done but its something that will be looked at after the release of the Demo.
One issue is if any of the dialogues get tweaked after the Demo's release-this would lead you to redo some of the work so I don't know if this is something you would want to pursue after the full release verse the Demo's release.
Just signed up so to say that this is one if my favourite TC mods of SW KOTOR 2 TSL.
P.S.My favourite TC mods are Trex' mod:The Jedi Masters;Doc Valentines mod:Rise Of The Sith;and of course your Logan23:Revenge of Revan.There is no best mod.All of these 3 TC mods are awesome.
I have started recording the VO's for the human NPCs that you bump into during the game.
I am going from module to module in order tinkering with the Mod's triggers and adding lips to the npcs and adding placeables and dlgs.
Also the alien VOs and lips are also being added at this time.

I agree. It might be a good idea just to do the alien NPC VOs and lips for now, and save the English dialog for later. After I get my hands on the demo, I might come up with dozens of extra side missions and such. I wouldn't want you to have to re-do all that work, or try to find the same voice actor to record new lines.

I know some of you are concern but all the human dialogues are being voice by either myself or friends i have over my place to do some VO work. This allows me to tape many samples for the same lines and then place in the ones that feel right. I will also be working on tweaking the voices pitch as well as go into character so you won't hear my regular voice.
Many of these VOs are for characters who will tell you to keep moving or make a remark about the present world events. I will have VOs in bars which the customer will ask where is that waitress or this drink is horrible, or where are my friends..did they leave me here.
Major characters will have certain people Voicing them, this is for the non important of fun dialogues.
Redrob41, there will be plenty of room to add more side quests since the Demo is meant for a sample of the final version.
I'm right now building the final versions of the modules in basic order so when this phase is done I hope to be ready to start pre-beta testing.
Damn, you've made some serious progress since I last saw this thread.
Unfortunately, I can only think that for the VO's it might be better to splice out the dialog than scour the earth trying to find somebody who can speak like Vandar/Yoda.... however, you may just get lucky, who knows.
Also, for the council, I think that you might want to move Ulon Tuain's model forward about ten centimeters or so so it doesn't look like he's clipping with the chair.
Just to show you that I haven't been completely idle for the last few months, here's a screenshot. I've started working on Quan Drayen, and I've tried to make him a little more unique (and aged him appropriately). Here are a couple of different styles of Kiffar tattoos that I've been playing with:
Show spoiler
The green one is a continuation of the design that Logan23 was working on (with an added detail at the widow's peak). The red one is based on Vanlin. The yellow one is a very common one, most notable for Tinte Vos, her brother Kurlin, and Quinlan's father Pethros.
I like the red one the best, looks less like a simple Paint retexture than any of the other ones. Though, truth be told, I'm not too hip on these Kiffar tattoos anyway... :s

As always, comments are welcome
I love the Kiffar race, it's my favorite one ! *crosses fingers for possibility of playing Kiffar in TOR*
Any chance for releases of other heads with the tattoos but other patterns?
And the screens look AWESOME!!
