Transparent Spacesuit Faceplates for TSL 1.2

This mod makes your spacesuit's faceplate transparent so that you can see the head of the character wearing it, as opposed to the opaque faceplate on the vanilla spacesuit.  I have also made the following edits to the suit model:
- Adjusted texture UVs to hide texture regions that appear unfinished.
- Added a bright texture to the bright white squares on either side of the faceplate.
For plot-related reasons, the faceplate will still be opaque for the Jekk'Jekk Tarr sequence when Mira steals your spacesuit.

I have also included an option with a less transparent faceplate, if you would like some transparency but prefer something closer to the mirrored visors on real spacesuits.

This mod requires The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM).  It has not been tested with an unaltered version of the game without TSLRCM.  Please note that if you are using a non-vanilla player head, the spacesuit will default back to the vanilla-style mirrored helmet.  See the "Compatibility" section below for further information.

Thank you for downloading, and I hope you enjoy this mod!

INSTALLATION

Run INSTALL.exe and select the install directory for your game.  Select "Main Installation" from the drop-down at the top, and click the "Install" button.    If you are using TSLRCM from the Steam Workshop, see this guide for how to combine installer-based mods with the Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=488641307

If you would like to use the "Less Transparent Faceplates" option, select the corresponding option from the drop-down menu after the main installation is complete, and click "Install" again.

This mod includes the Windows version of HoloPatcher for installation.  If you are running on Mac or Linux, you can find the appropriate versions of HoloPatcher here, along with the latest Windows version:  https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2243-holopatcher/. This mod requires HoloPatcher version 1.5.2 or higher.

If you have other mods installed, it is normal to see warnings that some or all of the following files already exist and have been skipped:
- appearance.2da
- heads.2da
- 201TEL.mod

If you would like to edit the scripts in this mod for personal use, please note that most of the provided script source files cannot be directly compiled because they include 2DA memory tokens, placeholders which are automatically replaced by appearance.2da row numbers when compiled during installation.  Running the installer and selecting the option "MODDING TOOL: Build Script Source" will save copies of the source scripts to the subfolder "temp_nss_working_dir" within "tslpatchdata" with the necessary appearance.2da row references automatically filled in.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY

This mod requires The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM).  It is not compatible with any other mods which edit a_104per_enter.ncs.  For best results, install this mod after TSLRCM and any other mods that make significant edits to:
- The walk speed of the spacesuit
- The Peragus spacewalk module
- The Citadel Station dock module

This mod is compatible with reskins and texture mods that affect vanilla heads.  It will not conflict with mods that edit the MDL/MDX files of vanilla heads, but the changes to the head model will not carry over to the head seen inside the spacesuit.

Due to the way this mod is implemented, the environment suit faceplates will still be opaque if you use a non-vanilla player head.  If you would like to see a non-vanilla head in the spacesuit, I have included instructions for making the new head compatible with this mod.  For further information, please see the file "Instructions to Add New Heads.pdf".
