Ill look into it tonight and tomorrow!

Hello. So a while back, I made a post called "Dumb question, but what graphics are required for a smooth dissaperance in a cutscene?". The post basically was about the way Darth Nihilus fades away as he dissolves into a red "cloud" of dark side energy. Back then, I didn't have the game yet, and now I do. There are some playtrhough videos on YouTube of KOTOR II, both TSLRCM and TSL vanilla, that have Darth Nihilus fade away gradually and become transparent before completely vanishing in the red cloud. The way he vanishes into the scarlet red dark side "smoke" looks super clean and transitions nicely, his model fades and becomes more transparent as he fades away in the cloud. However, there are other playthroughs of the game, both vanilla and TSLRCM, in which he doesn't vanish the same way as others. Instead, he just glitches out of existence after the dark side energies combust out of him without fading gradually and becoming more transparent. His model just stays the same before he just pops out of existence in the cloud. I really like the effect where his model becomes transparent and fades away in the cloud, as it looks more realistic and looks like a visually stunning effect, but in my own personal playthrough of the game, my fear was true. He just glitches out of existence, the one where he doesn't become transparent. I made a video of what I want the death of Nihilus to look like vs what I have in my actual game. I want to make him become transparent and fade out gradually, but I don't know if it is graphic or resolution issues or a script thing. To give you more context, here is what I have on my game. I have the GOG version of the game, (Good Old Games), specifically the GOG Galaxy version of the game. I am running this on a Nimo Gaming laptop. I had installed TSLRCM to my computer, then I installed the Unofficial TSLRCM Tweak Pack, specifically the tweak that removes the Visas Marr and Mandalore conversation on the Ravager and makes the cutscenes run like in the vanilla game. The footage you see is from my game with those mods installed. I then began to wonder if this was a product of the Tweak Pack and/or TSLRCM, so I uninstalled those mods and played the save game of that level vanilla, but same result, (to be fair though, I was playing from the same save after I uninstalled the mods, so I dunno). This is all REALLY weird because I myself am making a mod where I use the sithritual001 effect on Darth Sion in the final battle level with him on Malachor V, and he has the transparent gradual fadeout but somehow Nihilus doesn't. You can see a snippet of my "earlier revision" of the Darth Sion mod here, where he is seen fading out and becoming transparent. I want to find the root of this problem, mind if anyone helps me please? Help would be greatly appreciated. Darth Nihilus fadeout.mp4 Video Project 4.mp4

Thanks Rob, I'll take a look probably tomorrow after I fly home. So without any other edits to the model it's messed up in-game after decompile/recompiling it?

View File Fair Pazaak Turn Order In the vanilla game, the player always goes first.

View File Playable Ahsoka alternate dark side transitions After starting a playthrough with Stormie97 & Effix's playable Ahsoka (https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1995-tsl-stormie97-effixs-ahsokatogruta/), I thought it would be cool if there was a more visible dark side transition, so I made one.... this was initially for personal use and it's not to the highest of standards, but here it is, I hope somebody can get some enjoyment out of it. I also included an alternate light side portrait, should you wish to use it. Installation: 1. Install https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1995-tsl-stormie97-effixs-ahsokatogruta/ 2. Download the Dark Side Transitions.zip 3. Drop the files into your override folder Uninstallation: 1. Delete the following files from your override folder - po_PFHAHSD2.tga - po_PFHAHSD1.tga - po_PFHAHS.tga - PFHAHS01D2.tga - PFHAHS01D1.tga Full credit goes to @Stormie97 & @Effix for their amazing work creating the original.

I've made some files. I hope they help. The end result binary mdl & mdx make for a messed up head in-game. Most files I work with have been fine, but I've come across several head models that get messed up like this. PMHH02 works but PMHH01 doesn't. PFHC03 doesn't (maybe it is because it is a K1 holdover?). I haven't tried the rest of the models in this pic, but I'm guessing that they are likely to fail too. When I did this old mod, I think I had to painstakingly hex edit by trial and error. I never could alter the mdl's xyz or uv coordinates. I was really hoping that the new mdlops and KotorMax system would handle them. The K1 version of PFHC03 works just fine, it is only the TSL version that gets messed up. pmhc04 error.zip

Good to know, so one of the differences i noticed between the mdledit and the vanilla head was an ordered array of bone indices was zeroed out in the mdledit head so I swapped it with the values of the vanilla and zeroed that array in the vanilla head, to see if that was maybe the cause. It apparently was not. I will continue investigating. I was wondering if you could just round trip a head in mdlops and kmax without any other edits, just the saving and conversion processes. Both the ascii and binary and pass it over, and also if you can see if that with no manual edits is still messed up it can help me eliminate (and ultimately hopefully fix) whatever tool is mangling it.

View File Specialized Combat Suits HD TSL Specialized Combat Suits HD for TSL by RedRob41 ================================================================ IF YOU ARE EVER IN ANY DOUBT ABOUT INSTALLING ANY MODS, PLEASE REMEMBER TO ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE INSTALLATION, JUST IN CASE. WARNING: MAKE SURE NOT TO REPLACE ANY FILES OF THE SAME NAME THAT ARE ALREADY PRESENT IN YOUR OVERRIDE FOLDER! ================================================================ Description: This is not really a mod, but more of a modder's resource. It includes textures for the basic Combat Suit PFBC and PMBC, as well as icons and uti files to make them wearable. Anyone who has created a story mod for either game can use these suits to add some variety to the NPCs that the player interacts with. I have also included models in which I have fixed the uvw maps, so that the textures appear correctly (the original models had some polygons in the wrong places). The new models should work with any other texture mods, since they work perfectly with the in-game ones. The armour class is the same as the basic Combat Suit, so there isn't any real advantage to wearing them as a player. The real power of these files, is that a modder can create a whole army with both male and female members (and using any head model for NPC variety). The textures were made from original textures that appear in both games, so there is no issue of porting. There will be three versions of this mod to choose to download: 1 - 4x .tga version. Highest resolution, the typical texture is now 2048x2048 pixels which = 16MB. This version is the best choice to use as a modder's resource. 2 - 4x .tpc version. Created by running full size .tgas through tga2tpc program which compresses a 2048x2048 pixel file to 5.5MB. This version should be easier on PC systems, with no noticeable loss of visual fidelity. 3 - 2x .tpc version. Created by reducing full size .tgas by half in Photoshop, then running them through tga2tpc which further compresses them to 1.4MB. This version should be much easier on PC systems. All versions include the same .mdl & .mdx files. Only one version should be installed at a time; having both .tga files and .tpc files with the same name in the Override folder may cause problems. ================================================================ Compatibility: The male models PMBCx and BAODUR_BC are duplicates of the models found in the mod called 4x Upscale+ Character Textures & Model Fixes for TSL - Version 0.52 by RedRob41. The female models PFBCx in this mod have had additional uvw fixes since the V0.52 mod, and are therefore superior. The models aren't necessary, but the new textures will look much better with them. If you have other mods that change the models, you might prefer to use those ones. Check them out to be sure which you'd prefer. ================================================================ Includes: TSL Republic Combat Suit a_light_42.uti PFBC42.tga, PMBC42.tga, ia_class4_042.tga Sith Combat Suit a_light_43.uti PFBC43.tga, PMBC43.tga, ia_class4_043.tga Czerka Combat Suit a_light_44.uti PFBC44.tga, PMBC44.tga, ia_class4_044.tga T.S.F.

TSL uti files: These are necessary in order to wear the armours in-game. The name of the uti file is what you would use to cheat them in with the cheat console, example: giveitem a_light_42 will give your player the Republic Combat suit. ================================================================ Uninstall: Delete unwanted files from the game's Override folder. ================================================================ Thanks for modding tools: KOTOR Tool – Fred Tetra mdlops (used version 7a2) - cchargin, JdNoa NWMax – Joco Replacer - Taina tga2tpc - ndix UR KotOR/KotOR2 Savegame Editor v3.3.2 - tk102, Fair Strides Hex-editor XVI32 2.55 - Christian Maas ================================================================ Permission: Consider this as a modder's resource.
