HardCore 2011 Talchia Style (v1.1) - File Description  


Description:
Qui-Gon Glenn returns with an update for his HardCore 2011 Talchia Style for the original Knights of the Old Republic game. Due to some problems with the initial release the older version has been deleted from the website and replaced with this one, to do in the words of the esteemed author "what it says it will do". This is a much inspired modification and for those of you who feel KotOR is too easy what this mod does in one script what other mods aim to do by editing many of the games assets. Because of the way the Glenn has made the modification, this hardcore modification unlike others will be compatible with the vast majority of modifications, which I'm sure many of you will be happy about! As always with mods by this author it is well executed, and is very much recommended if you are looking for a mod which makes the game harder, while allowing flexibility with other installed modifications!


Enjoy! -- jonathan7

Please leave the author praise and constructive criticism; which are often far more valuable than rating mods...

HardCore 2011 Talchia Style (v1.1) - Readme  
Readme File:
Get HARD CORE BUFF with a single script!

Searching for source scripts to things entirely unrelated, I just thought I would look at the standard buff script the game uses for buffing your opponent according to the PC level. In it, I noticed that although it was intended that Jedi get buffs to their Charisma as well as their Dexterity and Wisdom, Charisma had been left out. So, I fixed that, and then thought... well that just made jedi tougher at these levels, why not do the whole thing?

Then I realized that Talchia's famous Hardcore Mod was essentially doing what k_def_buff was doing, but inside of k_ai_master - nearly identical script. Thinking that editing k_def_buff alone could do alone what the HARDCORE mod was doing, I released that. Kalaxia then brought up the excellent point - most of your opponents do not call on k_def_buff at all!

The issue I have found with Talchia's mod is that it is buried inside of a massive script (k_ai_master), so changing values can be intimidating as you do not want to break a master script! For adaptability, it is better to inject a sub-script into k_ai_master (thanks stoffe!) that the end-user can change easily/at will, as it is very focused and easy to read.

The standard buffs have been increased significantly, and by PC Level 17+ your opponents are uber-buffed, like Hanz and Franz! The bonuses are almost identical to Talchia's (some are slightly greater), and additionally this mod fixes the un-bonused Charisma bonus that Bioware Corp. intended and noted, yet did not script in. It also adds a dexterity bonus to Beasts, and a constitution bonus to Droids, just to spice things a little further.

Enjoy, post any issues you find in the HERE!!! - shouldn't be any!

Disclaimer: Look at the copyright above - I didn't write this script, Preston did. I altered it, cleaned up unnecessary comments, and made it behave as described in PW's dev notes. Therefore, I have no rights to this whatsoever- belongs to GL and LA and BioWare.

Thanks: Fred Tetra, KotOR Tool is still essential!
: Holowan Labs for being a great environment to bang my head against a wall
: Talchia, for inspiring the mod and providing an illuminating ReadMe, albeit no source code
: Fallen Guardian, for beta-testing
: Kalaxia, for post-release play-testing and finding a major problem!
