I was working on a mod in late June called "Train Your Party", but then I abandoned it because of the lack of help. Hopefully I can get by without much help on this one. Don't get me wrong, there were some users that were fantastic helpers, although my problem was quite a difficult one, even for them. Because of that, I'm starting a somewhat easier mod. So anyways, here's some features that I'm planning for the mod. This isn't very far in development, but I'm going to need some help, so I might as well make a WIP.
Nara, a new party member, is a Sith Exile that you find in the cantina on Korriban. She wears a ragged and somewhat revealing Dark Jedi robe and has a custom purple twi'lek head.
When you first meet her, she has a burning hatred towards the sith because of her exile. She instructs you to kill three targets- one is a Sith student who is disguised as a Czerka employee. You must kill him- he is one of the main information brokers for the Sith academy on Korriban. The second target is a fierce Sith apprentice who resides in the Valley of the Dark Lords, plundering tombs and collecting artifacts for Master Uthar to examine and use. And the third target... well, that's yours to find out.
After you recruit Nara, she will have her own party-member specific quest as all your other companions have. She will butt in on normal conversations. She will have her own portrait and clothing. She will replace Juhani and also she has her own lightsaber and robe with special bonuses. Depending on your alignment in the end-game, she will attempt to kill you if you are light side or follow you if you are dark side (I may not do this). She is a romance option for both the male and female Revan. Her story relates to a mysterious group of Sith that go by the name of "The Dark Reapers". She is a very interesting character and hopefully she will be voiced, however if that is unavailable alien voices are fine. I am, however, looking for male voice actors for the targets.
I'm sure you all are assuming that Nara MUST be recruited after you kill her three assigned targets- that's totally incorrect. You can tell her that you don't want her in your party. Think of it as a Korriban expansion mod with an option of recruiting the NPC.
There are three quests you can do- Nara's Revenge (pre-recruitment quest), Nara (party member quest), and The Lord of Anguish (you'll learn what this is about when it is released.)
PROGRESS
Skinning/Modeling: 75%
Journal Entries: 60%, if that.
Scripting: 65% or so.
Dialogue: 50%
Weapons/Custom Items: 80%
VO's: 0%
NEEDED
Dialogue Editor (Nice to have, not needed.)
Voice Actor for Nara (Any female voice actor.)
Sounds pretty cool. It's still gonna be a whole lot of work, if you wanna do it completely with VOs, quests, ect., so I hope you have plenty of energy and time !
Mods like this with quests across multiple planets tend to have difficulties with compatibility with other mods. Just good to keep that in mind from the beginning.
I don't wanna be picky, but I'd make Nara yet a bit more custom-looking. Now it looks just like a recolored standard Twi'lek. How about playing around a bit with the head-model and -texture?

Haha, I am the worst skinner you'll ever encounter. I had difficulty figuring out how to put the recolor in game... <_< And yeah, I know it'll be a lot of work. I mean, I've been working on this practically all day and I've only gotten to the first target you have to kill.
Also, I know how you could spawn people into pre-existing modules. It's called an OnEnter script, a script that I very recently figured out how to master.
Forgive, but never forget. No amount of DLC can take back lying to your fan base. Trust is earned, not downloaded.

I want to make it so that when she says something, he spawns in another module. Not upon entry.
All right, but 'thanks' what? 'thanks, no need'?, 'yes thanks'? what?
(i could make you a custom robe, nothing too fancy, no model edit or anything, but a nice texture edit of a default robe, in fact, how does a twilek head works with the starforge robes, do they work or there's ugly clipping?, because i have made several texture variations for the starforge robes recently...)

It depends on extactly which model you are using. If:
Hoodless, Belt and Capeless: The Model used for the Darth Revan/Star Forge robes in the standard game. The twi'lek heads will work fine with this model.
UnMasked: This model is used for the 'Revalation' cutscene, and it has all but the mask. For this model, the lekku will clip through the hood.
Masked: The complete model. Any head wouldn't show up with this model, since it would likely be used with a disguise item.

I already have someone working on robes- sorry. Thanks for the offer, though.
So anyways, everything is going great. I had a two night "vacation" at my relatives' place, so it's kind of delayed. However, I have a question about OnEnter scripts- so I know the onenter script name and all for the Valley of the Dark Lords, but when I search the file name in kotor tool, it shows me the .are file, in which I figured out the onenter script name. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? The script is "k36_pkor_enter".
You have to go into the module that has _s at the end. In there you'll see a section called scripts. Look in there.
Oh, thanks. Do I have to decompile it? if so, how?
Edit: Nevermind. I got it. However, I do have one problem- I tried spawning an NPC conditionally in an OnEnter script, but when I enter the module, there's like 20 of him. I tried setting the boolean that must be true to spawn him to false in the OnSpawn script field in his .utc, but there's still 20 of him. What am I doing wrong?
Was the page fully loaded when you tried to look at them, Canderis?
Looking for a reliable place to host your KotOR and TSL mods? Look no further than KotORFiles!
We have a great team, who will be sure to get your mod uploaded ASAP, after you submit. We also get 1000's of visitors every day, so your file is sure to get noticed!
You can watch my KotOR and TSL video's on YouTube!
I'd be happy to help with anything that needs doing. I'm best a skinning and item building but I can do a few other things (admittedly poorly) as well
Haha, sure. Really all I am desperate for right is a hilt modeler and a female voice actor, since I have a robe skinner, voice actors, and beta testers. So if you can think of something that you'd like to do, PM it to me and I'll be sure to consider it.

Awesome! You're back! Alright well I have nothing to offer, but will this be compatible with other mods? Like BOS or Recruitable Kay?
Definitely BOS. I'll look into making it compatible with Recruitable Kay, although I'm not making any promises. There's going to be some issues with places like the "Leviathan" and "I'm Revan" conversation on the Ebon Hawk that I'll make compatible, although the smaller things aren't worth it.
Alright, starting this up again, although with TOR I doubt I'll be modding much, but I fixed some problems that kept me from continuing this project in the past so hopefully I can make some good progress. I'm still looking for voice actors and a lightsaber hilt modeler, too.
Hey all. Nara has been going along very smoothly. I've finished the entire pre-recruitment quest, so now I'm just working on fixing bugs and making the in-party dialogue quest. Here's a video just showing the first dialogue conversation. The dialogue could definitely use some touching up, but I can edit it later. (Also sorry about the lag, I had a lot of windows open so Fraps didn't record at its best.)
Head is courtesy of Snard, I have a hilt on the way by Ferc Kast, and custom robes are soon to come. PM me if you want to help out with something. Also, the party selection screen shows a white screen instead of the character in their little alignment stance. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Yes, you need a tga file named after your portrait-file...
Let me explain that:
Say, Bastila's portrait file is po_pbastila.tga.
Then po_pbastila3.tga would be the name for the light side appearance and po_pbastila3e.tga would be the name for the darkside appearance in the party selection screen. So just create a tga with an addition of 3 or 3e...
That's an awesome little scene there, but I feel like she wouldn't say "Of course, I'm glad to share my past with you," unless maybe this is consistent with her character and I'm just unaware.

Yeah, you're right. I was thinking about that earlier but I guess I just forgot to fix it or something.
