Did anyone else have a bug with this mod where Mandalore isn't able to join your party and is stuck in the same dialog where he asks where you got the Ebon Hawk from?

It really looks like a testing area. Like one made to test game mechanics rather than something meant to be actually playable.

Can I install this with the spanish version of the Restored Content?
clit Oct 23, 2023 @ 7:43am 
First time I decided to play this since I was always put off but I managed to complete it on my first run without any bugs. I did get stuck in a few places, but managed to finish the main quests fine. The side quests are still bugged to my knowledge. I can ignore the voice acting as I was not expecting award winning effort. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this mod. This is because the amount of time spent only to get a few lines of dialogue from Master Vash, only for her to be killed by assassins looked like a cop out and really felt like I wasted my time.
clit Oct 23, 2023 @ 7:43am 
Initially, I was under the impression that she would arrive on Dantooine with the other masters. I am aware that she was planned to be killed off and had no extra dialogue but her death does not really feel satisfying when not at the hands of Kreia or Sion. If this were updated in the future, perhaps have separate installers to have the different versions available. Maybe I was misled, but if I wanted to see Vash alive, I would have just installed the Lonna Vash mod - halving the time spent in order for her to be unalived. Regardless, I am happy that I at least tried this mod.

i have a big problem i cant the planet m4-78
Cherry Jan 13, 2023 @ 6:53am 
Yeah.. DON'T get this mod, when you get to M4-78 it's a true gamebreaker and it's damn impossible to clear the story of the planet..

And I'm sorry but I have to say.. the voiceacting is utterly abysmal, it's so incredibly cringe, NOT what I expected out of this, so yeah, do yourself a favor and save yourself the annoyance, cringe and frustration and skip this mod.

Not sure where to post so devs can see, but hopefully this feedback helps
GOOD:
- 1-2hr content added
- Beautiful landing pad vista, glowing vents in industrial walkway.
- ++Use of droid companions, with perma upgrades.
- Potential as future must-install
- Passion project

CHANGE:
- Layout. Long linear path makes traversal a chore, even with Master Speed/escort. Quest NPCs scattered all along it in the open.

Suggestion? Branching path+buildings to compartmentalize.
Early blocked section of IS already has 3 doors, 2 unused. Re-allocate 1 to R&D building, with separate rooms for droid tests.1 to maintenance. 1 to Archon.

- "Talk to IS-88" WHO? WHERE? Descriptive names for all quest npcs are a must "IS-XX Research Leader"

- Wildly varied voice fx. Some protocolers have nice robotic filters. Some none at all, just a guy talking. One uses a T3 voice...

- Decision pitfalls. Finishing main quest permanently seals off droid repair quest without warning, leaving it in questlog forever.

I appreciate the staggering amount of effort put in to restore this planet, but I just can't recommend this mod. Sadly, M4-78 was clearly cut for good reason. The planet is incredibly dull and the aggravation you will experience while playing it just isn't worth it. KOTOR II is a better game without M4-78.
Kris Feb 9, 2022 @ 1:40pm 
DO NOT INSTALL THIS OR THE COMBINED ONE WITH THIS MOD.

it is ridiculously boring, the modders should be ashamed of not putting a warning that this will ruin hours of your gameplay.
Fatum Manibus Jan 15, 2022 @ 7:37am 
As many of the other recent posts have said, this was not very fun and involved a lot of running around for nothing. I, too, wouldn't recommend this unless you're really looking for more 'content' and don't care what that entails. Regardless, I applaud the work that went into making this even though I didn't like and wished I didn't start it.
Aeilawen Oct 26, 2021 @ 12:53pm 
Lol this mod ruined my current playthrough. What a waste of time :)
Seth9628 Sep 15, 2021 @ 1:30am 
Do this: Right click game, properties, local files, browse. look for SWKOTO2.ini under [Game Options] add "EnableCheats=1" then launch game, get into game and when you get to this world do: `turbo If you dont you will spend 2 days walking around this map alone. Also go find a walk through this is confusing, back and forth, and not worth it really. I dont enjoy it.
eafsamwise97 Jul 21, 2021 @ 7:14pm 
My game crashed during the cutscene where you talk to IS-24, the leader droid in the Industrial Sector. Please fix
Sven_Q45 Jul 2, 2021 @ 7:46am 
Yes while it works better together you could also take it separately.
Blue Topaz Jul 2, 2021 @ 4:02am 
the combined mod seems to be broken rn, it dosent chage anything or show up at all, can i install this version with a TSLCRM sepratly and still have it all work?
transparentlabyrinth Jun 18, 2021 @ 6:00am 
I wrote something longer, but there is a character limit, so I'll try to be briefer:

I applaud the effort put in here: this was an ambitious project, I did not experience any major bugs, and getting to experience Vash as having a story rather than throwaway is something special.

My main issue is it's not linear enough in the kotor way. If you'll notice, most of kotor involves exploring a map and doing stuff along the way, with little retracing of your steps. This, in contrast, feels sort of like being a corporate lackey being sent back and forth on errands by a series of never-ending middle managers. There's a certain charm to the rampant confusion of it, but for me, not enough to overcome the genuine experience of being confused and tired. Maybe if it was a game with quest markers, I'd just laugh, instead I checked my quest log like never before and sighed.

I'd prefer if it was more tight and precise than ambitious and unwieldy, but either way, it's an incredible modding feat.

Gracias Hassat Hunter. rezaré para que pronto podamos jugarlo en español :steammocking:

Hassat Hunter  [author] Apr 17, 2021 @ 3:28pm 
Again, if "droids don't appear" it's 100% modconflicts. Also you really should use the combined M4+TSLRCM rather than this standalone. It's just here so people can unsub, removing it makes it much harder on people to do so.
VentWilsn Apr 9, 2021 @ 8:45pm 
I can respect the effort to bring back cut content of an entire planet

But this is not a good mod, I stopped playing when IT 02 didnt show after i wasted so much time creating the robot from scratch.The maps are too big and honestly it feels like a tutorial planet for another game. Also I really didnt feel like playing this "tutorial planet" after playing like most of Kotor 2.Think the worst part about this mod is that most people that I talk to say that this mod isnt worth it, but its still rated 6/6 stars. WEIRD:steamthumbsdown:
elbonian Mar 4, 2021 @ 5:22am 
I appreciate the efforts made by Hunter. But... in case you haven't tried this mod, don't do that. It's so frustrating when you found that the M4-78 is so unplayable but you have played over 10 to 20 hours but the save game will be trashed if you unsubscribe the mod.:steamthumbsdown:
Honorable Lord Biggie Cheese Mar 3, 2021 @ 3:05am 
Boring, crap. Ruined my first time experiencing this game and is such a shameful addition.
Venomgesugao Feb 14, 2021 @ 1:25pm 
I hate it. I seriously hate it. This is why game design is a profession and not something any old person can pick up. Where do I bloody start? Oversized maps, quests that involve running from generic droid to generic droid to overcome stupid obstacles. The combat is OVERTUNED AND STUPID. Why is it when I have Ion-modded blasters and sabers, which are, I remind you, specifically ANTI-DROID do I still have major difficulty even dealing damage or landing consistent hits. And yes, I've got the feats for my weapon type, proper attributes and other weapon mods for attack rating. It's not me, it's the modders unable to balance bloody DROIDS versus actual hecking Jedi. I abandoned this mod when after so much suffering.
Tango Feb 3, 2021 @ 1:13pm 
Worst part of TSLRCM+M4-78 gameplay. Running in huge empty areas, boring story, i cant stand 6 hours of running from droid to droid. This mod made me hate this game. If this planet was cut content, im not surprised they did cut this shit out.
phobet0r Jan 14, 2021 @ 9:31am 
i guess the only good thing to come from this mod is getting more exp
BushDid420 Jan 5, 2021 @ 4:09pm 
This mod single-handedly made me quit my run. It's boring, tedious, intensely frustrating, and takes all momentum and weight from the story. I can't even uninstall it now because it will corrupt my 20+ hour save file if I do.

Only person I'd recommend this to is some sick fuck who enjoys 6 hours of fetch quests. Oh, and also if you like really bad voice acting.
MacDad<SnS> Dec 20, 2020 @ 11:56am 
I admire the work put into this mod, I really do. But the mission designs are simply horrible. Too many repetitive "gather this" tasks, too much backtracking. It just becomes tedious, and you want it to be over so you can get on with the rest of the game.

I honestly can't recommend it. Even playing once to see what it's like, I still can't recommend it. You'll consider it a waste of your time.
pedro.santos53@hotmail.com Nov 25, 2020 @ 4:36am 
very well put together, but quite tedious. lots of backtracking. worth a single playthrough, but on repeated playthroughs, i'd uninstall it
Nye Scok Nov 15, 2020 @ 12:04am 
idk why people don't like difficult in games, this mod was fun asf
Bry-Fi Nov 4, 2020 @ 11:52am 
don't play this mod, it's not worth the 6 hours it takes to complete
Luka Oct 16, 2020 @ 2:03pm 
don't play this mod
Tehstool Sep 20, 2020 @ 4:26am 
Don't recommend this mod at all. To put it lightly, M4-78 is not fun.
Jessidiah Jul 28, 2020 @ 12:26pm 
once you finish the initial part with using a droid companion, this mod is really quite good. (if you have the green issue, that will also pass once you complete that phase). The only thing that stands out to me is the voice work. Idk if the mod makers have any interest in doing anything else with this but if so, there's several professional voice actors who would love to submit the reads for this. Let me know, and I'll put you in touch. thanks :)
dbithead Jul 6, 2020 @ 12:33am 
This is an excellent mod. Thanks Hassat.

IS-18 doesn't show up when I want to proceed with the quest.
Laxhoop2525 Apr 9, 2020 @ 12:48pm 
But both mods worked before. Why doesn't it work now? And I did, I saved before I got there, loaded the save, and the issue persisted.
Hassat Hunter  [author] Apr 9, 2020 @ 11:57am 
You really should use the combined TSLRCM + M4-78EP instead (make sure to remove both seperate ones first).
And a save before entering the plains of Korriban :(
Laxhoop2525 Apr 9, 2020 @ 7:18am 
I have this downloaded, but it just doesn't work now. Worked the first time I played through the game, but now I get to Korriban, and the Jedi is dead in the cell, meaning the mod isn't working. And there's no way to fix this with the recent versions, as far as I know.
Vabulletizer Apr 8, 2020 @ 5:08am 
Thanks!
Hassat Hunter  [author] Apr 8, 2020 @ 3:15am 
Delete legal.tga from the M4-78EP's override folder

How i can remove m4-87 title screen and back original with nihilus and others?
coenzymeGay Apr 4, 2020 @ 8:07pm 
While I can appreciate the amount of work that went into this, the result was a planet that was incredibly tedious and frustrating to play. The player spends most of their time backtracking through bland hallways and trying to differentiate between droids with tiny variations in their names. This planet takes longer to get through than any other, and I spent every moment hoping that the next wouldn't be as dry as the last. I honestly considered uninstalling the mod before even completing it. I'm not sure how much of this is due to the mod team's fault, or if the original content that this was based on was just bad. If the latter case, I can see why this was cut for the game. I wouldn't recommend this mod to anyone.
kabel Feb 11, 2020 @ 1:29pm 
these guys are adding content to a game that we all love and has been loved for over a decade,the fact the took so much time to do this and expand on the game shows how much they love it and we should apreciate this FREE content. you people sitting here bashing these mod team are pathetic. you have no right to treat people this way when you have done nothing to contribute your toxic and dont deserve to be apart of this community, screw you trolls. you only wish you could do something better.
dbithead Jan 22, 2020 @ 4:25pm 
Hassat Hunter:
As you can tell from my post you are wrong in advising everyone to replace their appearance.2da file.

You should spend more time providing accurate information and less time trying to get your post count up.
Hassat Hunter  [author] Jan 18, 2020 @ 1:16pm 
@Drago: There's several rewards, statboosts, unique droiditems not found in the base game and other boosts to perk up the droids.
Since 1.3 most of the keydroids should have slight colorvariations compared to regular droids to make them stand out more. We tried :/
Maceo: Modconflict, remove any mods overwriting appearance.2da and reload savegame before entering module first time.
@Nehizan: Yes
dbithead Jan 5, 2020 @ 11:57pm 
v1.5 worked for me without flaw except at the end when two Sith Assassins remained un-attackable and the conflict music continued while talking to M4-78. All this includes playing with a appearance.2da replacing mod (Athena Too) which did not break any interactions including IS-18.
