TSLRP (The Sith Lords Restoration Project): About damn time!!

Aerothorn on 9/10/2009 at 18:51

Okay,so what does the RCM lack compared to the Team Gizka project?

I dunno, their version sounds a bit rushed/less methodolical in their implementation (though I assume it does have the droid factory and complete endings, at least?).

Is there still the thing where you can determine whether Kreia or angry white haired lady is the final villain?

Either way, I'd think I'd wait till it was complete (post-beta) to try it out.

Edit: Apparently, spoilered section above is NOT restored. Bummer! And no sign of the droid factory in this either, as far as I can tell.

Still, the Team Gizka version is still be worked on (however slowly), so I hold out hope for that.

The Droid Factory is there AFAIK, actually - unless you mean the planet, which is being developed as an optional bolt-on.

They mention that they didn't restore the spoilered section as in their opinion 'there was too little material left to properly restore this aspect of the ending'.

Edit: according to (http://forums.team-gizka.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2383) this page, Team Gizka aren't restoring that part either.

The Restored Content Mod is now out of beta and has (http://www.deadlystream.com/forum/f123/sith-lords-restored-content-mod-final-1-5-version-here-1158.html) posted their 'final' (barring any shocking bugs being found) release.

Still no sign of TSLRP.

Was going to try this, but WTF is going on with this game and Vista!!?? Install the game, go to run it and won't even start. So find a supposed Vista "fix". Says to place in main folder and it will ask you to overwrite a file, but when I do that all it does is start the launcher, and I get the same error message.

Windows can't start Kotor 2, blah blah blah

I'm pretty lame when it comes to this stuff, so I could be doing something wrong, but not sure how.

Specs?

(Betting on ATI card/ SOBIV as their legacy openGL support is rubbish/ always has been rubbish)

WTH is a SOBIV?

I finally got it running. It was a pain in the ass but no, Nvidia.

Anyway I patched up to the latest version and started playing without the restoration mod. May play it without it as I've never played the game other than the first hour or so. Game is more fun than I remembered. HK2 is one funny son of a bitch.

What's up with these "optional media update patches"? There's over a gig of them in a bunch of rar files. Are they worth it? And what do you have to do, download all of them and extract to the main Kotor 2 directory?

There's also some type of music file as well.

Thanks.

SOBIV = Shitty On Board Intel Video, a particular problem because Intel claimed it supported appropriate versions of OpenGL when it didn't. ATI's legacy support is just bad, as with Dark games.

The media are high res movies I believe, so completely optional. I'd presume install instructions are in the readme, or just to overwrite the existing movies.

Well I apparently spoke to soon. I just played the game for like 2 hrs, and after posting here went to start it up again, and got the same error again. :mad:

These are the directions for replacing this MS32.dll file.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:Put this in your Kotor 2 main directory, not your override. It will ask to overwrite a file of the same name. Do it. (back up the original, though.)
If you don't have 7zip or winRAR, you can get the online for free (I recommend 7zip).

I've got the file downloaded, however when I place it in the main directory, all it does is start the launcher and when I try and launch the game I keep getting the same error. Kotor 2 needs to close. It's never asked to overwrite a file of the same name.

Maybe I'm not putting it into the main directory? I mean I go to properties in the Kotor desktop shortcut, and go to open file location, and put it in the Kotor application.exe

BTW; If I turn off sound in the config utility I can play fine however don't want to do that.

Appreciate any help.

Not just higher res FMVs, but higher sample rate music IN STEREO. The vanilla music is in mono.
