Here it is, everyone. Female Darth Revan reciting the Sith Code:

If you want to do a simple head swap/custom appearance, that's pretty straightforward. You're already most of the way there. You've got your custom model and custom texture. The rest is just extracting a few source files and a bit of TSLPatcher config. Here: https://www.darthparametric.com/files/kotor/k1/[K1]_Selven_Custom_Appearance_ebmar.7z Note that I have included the placeholder head texture I gave you previously, so make sure you overwrite that with your new version before installing. The steps involved to create such a setup: Extract source files using KOTORTool - heads.2da, appearance.2da, tar03_selven031.utc from tar_m03ab, PFBF04.tga (checking that it does not require a TXI, which this doesn't) Use Convert2DA to convert both the 2DAs to tab delimited text files so they can be easily edited in Excel, etc. Create a custom heads.2da with an added row for the Selven head model. This is extremely simple in this case. Just copy one of the existing NPC rows and paste it at the end, then change the row ID and head cells to "107" and "pfhebmar". Save as a tab-delimited text file. Create a custom appearance.2da with an added row for the Selven body. For this you can just copy an existing female player row and paste it at the end. I choose one of the "large" ones. Using that as your starting point, edit the values as appropriate. Give it a new row ID (509), new custom label (Ebmar_Taris_Selven), then change all the model and texture values to PFBFL and PFBSelven. Everything else can remain unchanged. Save as a tab-delimited text file. Note that we are specifying a custom body texture here in order to override whatever armour variation she may actually have equipped in the UTC, to side-step any custom textures the end-user may be using, and to allow for your own custom texture edit, if required. Use Convert2DA to convert your two text files to 2DAs. Create a mod folder with the appropriate structure. I like a "working" folder where I keep all the source files, and a "release" folder where I put the TSLPatcher setup. Create a release folder with a "tslpatchdata" sub-folder. Copy across the vanilla heads.2da and appearance.2da, head model MDL/MDX, head texture, body texture (rename PFBF04.tga to PFBSelven01.tga), and UTC. Create an "info.rtf" file. This has the text that the installer will show, so add info and instructions as appropriate. Get the TSLPatcher files. Copy across TSLPatcher.exe one level above the tslpatchdata folder. Run ChangeEdit.exe and go to File -> New. Choose the tslpatchdata folder you created and save changes.ini Now you can create your config. Under Settings, set the Window Caption to the mod's name (I used [K1] Selven Custom Appearance) and hit the Save Changes button down the bottom. You'll always need to come back here to save any additional changes you make. In the top Modifiers menu, choose Add 2DA File. In the popup, write heads.2da in the filename field and hit ok. Repeat and add appearance.2da. N.B. It is important that you add heads.2da first, due to the required order of operations. Now under 2DA Files you should see both heads.2da and appearance.2da listed. Select heads.2da Select the middle of the three buttons on the top right to compare two 2DA files. Choose the vanilla heads.2da when it asks for the original, and your custom heads.2da when it asks for the modified one. It will compare the two files and determine what you added. In this case, you should see AddRow0. Double click on that to open the editor. You will see there is a description explaining what you need to do next. Namely, in the Set Column Value section, for Column write 2DAMEMORY1 and for Value write RowIndex. Then hit the red arrow pointing right to add it. You can then close that editor. What you have done is added a "memory token". In this case, you are telling TSLPatcher to remember the index (i.e. ID number) of the new row it is adding to heads.2da which we'll need in the next step. Open the editor for appearance.2da. As before, add a new 2DAMEMORY token for RowIndex, except this time you'll want to increment the number (i.e. 2DAMEMORY2). Now TSLPatcher is storing two values, the row indexes for both 2DAs. On the right, double click on "normalhead" to make it editable. Change the Value to 2DAMEMORY1, then click the right facing red arrow to make the change. Close that editor. This is using the stored heads.2da row index memory token to set the proper head value in appearance.2da. This sort of thing is the primary strength of TSLPatcher, as it can dynamically account for people's custom pre-existing 2DAs that may have any number of additional rows. In the top Modifiers menu, choose Add GFF File and put tar03_selven031.utc in the filename field. Under the GFF Files section you will see your UTC, select it. Down the bottom tick the Replace File If It Already Exists, leave the destination as Override, and click the Set button. In the Modify Field Value section, click the little folder icon to the right to load the UTC. You'll see the GFF Field box turns green. From the drop down menu select Appearance_Type. Change the Value field to 2DAMEMORY2 and then click the upwards pointing red arrow to set the change. This will edit the UTC to add the row index of your custom appearance.2da row. Now go to the Install Files section. Click on the Add Multiple Files button next to the red arrows. For the folder name use Override and tick the Replace Existing checkbox. Select your model and TGAs. N.B. Very important! DO NOT add the 2DAs or UTC. This is a common rookie mistake. It will be automatically handled by TSLPatcher. Now go back to Settings and click Save Changes. You should be done and can close ChangeEdit. Run your TSLPatcher to test your install setup and make sure everything works in-game. Edit: Before and after pics (obviously without the custom head texture) If you want to go to full on quest editing/creation, that's going to add a reasonable degree of extra difficulty. You'll need to edit/create scripts and dialogue, possibly you'll want additional NPCs, etc. You are almost certainly talking about edits across two or more modules.

Nope. But it's rather hard to argue properly when you throw down HERE, YOU ARE FANATICS. Don't counter, shut up, accept it. SUCK IT. Yeeeeeah.... maybe posting that way kinda contradicts 100% your entire argument. But apparently it's pointless discussing this since you don't want to discuss it. Just tell us we're fanatics and then just suck it up or shut up. HAH, no.

I've been having a hell of a time attempting to get scripts decompiled. I've tried DeNCS (keeps failing), KotOR Scipting Tool (errors out and crashes), and xoreos-tools (I can't read bytes). If anyone would be so kind, I'm attempting to get the holo scripts from the Rancor Trio room on Taris. (I believe the mod is tar_m03ad.) There are some scripts in there named holoon, holooff, holoboom, etc. I've tried to find the source, but couldn't find anything that matched up. So if anyone would be so kind as to attempt a decompile on their end, I'd be much obliged. TYIA.

All the "ModelX" columns get replaced with PFBL - modela, modelb, modelc, modeld, modele, modelf, modelg, modelh, modeli, modelj All the "TexX" columns get replaced with PFBSelven - texa, texb, texc, texd, texe, texf, texg, texh, texi, texj The "TexAEvil" column is a special case for Dark Side underwear, you can star that out - **** - for non-player appearance rows.

The key with DeNCS is using the correct game nwscript.nss. K1_tar_m03ad_holo_scripts.7z

Oh look, someone who liked The Last Jedi who dismissed literally all conversation about the movie. Wow, I wish this would surprise me, but it doesn't.

I watched the video and I disagree with the points brought up in the movie. I still do not like The Last Jedi. I don't think that makes me a fanatic. Saying things like this doesn't really show that you have an open or humble mind.
