Hello everyone! Now I've been "Modding" KOTOR for years, but when it comes to how it works, I'm a complete noob. I'm trying to figure out some issues I'm having with my mod setup. Specifically, I am trying to use the following mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/78?tab=posts for my base Revan. Though specifically, it says it's a model only and can be used with other Revan textures. So naturally, I am using a different one since I don't like the base textures, so I'm using this one:    However, it won't retexture it. It will only have the updated texture with the cape, or the old model with no cape. How can I fix this? Now the second thing I am trying to do is update the horrible Star Forge robes - yet I'm having a dreadful time doing that because I'm sure there are conflicting mods. I was trying to use this mod: https://www.gamefront.com/games/knights-of-the-old-republic/file/star-forge-revan-s-robes However, whenever I use it, I turn into a Rodian Jedi from the Diversify Jedi mod lol Anytime on how to use the KOTOR tool to fix this, or what tools I do need, would be great.

I quickly checked the MDLEdit one in the character creator and it's fine?

Thanks for the effort, but they don't seem to work any better in-game than mine. Hmmm. My ascii looks just fine in 3DS Max; it seems that it is only after compiling it to binary that the problems start.  

Try these: TSL_PMHC04_Test.zip Imported your ASCII into KMax, re-exported, loaded into MDLEdit and saved as binary. Loaded the binary into KBlender, looked fine, exported as new binary.

As many of the long time members here will know, I had been using MDLOps 7a2 with GMax in 3DS Max, and Taina's Replacer for the longest time. For the past 6 months or so I have switched to MDLOps 1.0.2, KotorMax in 3DS Max and have been enjoying the successes. I like how it allows me to fix more than just xyz coordinates and uvw maps; now I can also fix vertex welds, bone weights, and smooth groups. I was merrily working on more of my 4x Upscale+ mods, and recently started doing PC heads. But, I ran into a snag with PMHC04, PMHH01, and others in TSL. Some of them come out looking like this: When I did the PMHC04 above, all I did was use MDLOps 1.0.2 to make the mdl.ascii file, renamed it, ran it back through MDLOps 1.0.2 to make the bin.mdl & mdx (with "Head model fix link to neck_g" checked) then renamed files and moved to Override folder. I had previously worked on it with much more extensive edits, but every time it would be messed up in-game. PMHC03 on the other hand, I had loaded the ascii into KotorMax and made many changes to it. I broke some of the vertices and welded others; I modified the uvw map and the smooth groups. This was all to get rid of the stretched triangle that went from the back of the head to the base of the flat top bangs. After exporting it, I recompiled to binary and dropped them in the override. This one worked really well. I wish they all went like this. I'm just wondering if there is a setting or something that MDLOps needs, or if I need to hex edit the binary mdl or text edit the ascii mdl or something else? I found out that if the file path and file name is too long, that it can cause problems with read/write in MDLOps, but I don't think that is the issue here. I haven't tried MDLedit yet, is there any tutorials for it? Are there future compatibility issues for re-modding the resultant mdl? I figure that this issue will also affect every head model that I tried to fix a long time ago (TSL Head Model Fixes) since the three mangled heads I've gotten so far coincide with it. I'd really like to be able to fix those head models for good. I've attached three of the ascii models, just in case someone wants to take a peek. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
