skins [K1] Republic Soldier's New Shade 1.1.1

awesome idea gonna try this ASAP. So, I might install  Main and Optional-1  options together right? 

it seems  Optional-1  file needs to replace my already existing Override's PFBBL01 texture, correct?

so the Male option alone adds some visible shading and reflection right, or just color changes/edits?

thanks on advance great release

In both cases, male and female, remove the BBL textures and N_RepSold_F01 and replace with the shaded versions. The textures included in my mod are simply copies of N_RepSold01 renamed to match the other file names to avoid 2DA editing. So replacing them with anything based on the same Republic texture works.

Many thanks, @JCarter426 for assisting me with a comprehensive answer and by providing the necessary model from the mod, which made it possible for the [Optional-1] and [Optional-2] to be featured [got to update the credits section soon though! 😁].

Yes, JCarter426's "JC's Republic Soldier Fix for K1" is mandatory for the [Optional-1] and [Optional-2] installation.

And thanks @GNihilus2, hoping you like how it looks on your end.

thx for quick answer, that should do it yep. 

Nice to see you back in the modding scene! This looks pretty good! And it's great that you have a compatability patch for JC's Republic Soldier fix. You two are some of my favorite modders.

Thanks! One of my motivation is to always looks for compatibility of mine with any mods that was already served here on DeadlyStream and/or anywhere. Even more with an essential mods/fixes as one like JCarter426's "JC's Republic Soldier Fix for K1", that in fact- I also had it installed in my playthrough. I am also glad that you appreciate it!

High praise from you there, JasonRyder; appreciate it very much!

glad you liked the review ebmar  

so there is a shinny tweak to the helmet aswell, great, good good. yeah i agree the brightness in the chest is clearly more noticeable than on the helmets.

You bet Republic deserve this improvements ..... poor republic with all those power-thirsty sith and mandalorians all over the place    LoL     

I loved this one ebmar though, in my game they didn't seem as red as they should be, also does it affect Trask? Because his armor seemed blue oO

That one is deliberate by design as there are two variants of male textures inside. One is the version which seem as red as it should like the vanilla, and the other one is more of dark oranges bright oranges. I'd gather that you're using the latter.

It should affect Trask and all Republic Soldier NPCs/that are wearing ones, such as -

This mod shouldn't do anything that makes his armor blue, because nothing's blue that came with the mod. I'm pretty convinced that you have Yavin IV mod installed on your end. Well, there's no mod around that changes Republic Soldier's armour to blue other than the said mod as far as I can recall, hahah.

P.S. And if it does, you may want to remove any instance of N_RepSold01.tga from the Override, and not the TPC version [the latter format should be what's included with this mod] - see if it works.

Yeah, I do or did have the Yavin IV mod, did a clean install, so I just need to remove the N_RepSold01.tga to make both compatible? Because I had wanted to re-add that one, as well as Ord Mantell. I didn't know that, that one did that grrr *eye twitch* blue armor indeed! As for dark red lol, I'm nutty that way and prefer the dark red to ugh the awful orange which so clashes *steals Carth's Jacket then dyes it red and black*

Been a long while since the last time I use that mod so I'm not sure how far it changes things. Hmm, perhaps you can look into the appearance.2da and see row 378 which is Trask's; does its texa and texb columns appointed to N_RepSold? If yes, then it's OK to remove the TGA and leave only the TPC version [which came from this mod], but if not - then some workaround is waiting ahead, and I need your report on the said value.

Oi to the vey, to quote Lieutenant Grenn why does the republic do anything, right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing  Lol guessing I'll need the kotor toolset for this won't I? What steps do I need to take?

Does this mod include specularity for the eyes? Because I think I'm noticing some shine there.

Yeah, I was on a habit applying envmap to the sclera part so there it goes with this one as well.

This mod doesn't seem to be compatible with N-Drew's Commandos of the Old Republic mod. Tried a playthrough with both, but I encountered a game-breaking bug where Bandon doesn't ignite his lightsaber and Trask doesn't run through the door to confront him. The only way I found to fix this was to not install both mods together.
