Yes. An "island" in UV mapping terms is a single group of contiguous UV polygons.

Testing out the Dodonna model sidetracked me to a new tangent - fixing those god-awful stunt models in the endgame cutscenes. First up is the Dark Side version, replacing the droids: Interestingly, my framerate in this scene is pretty terrible even in the vanilla version. I have a GTX 1080Ti so I'm not exactly hurting for raw GPU horsepower, but it drops to sub-40 fps in certain places. The replacement version of the droids can see it dip below 30 with shadows enabled (it's about 5fps better with their shadows disabled). Next up is the cardboard cutout people. Bioware didn't use a flipbook (animated texture) for those. Instead they have a bunch of planes with static textures in slightly different poses, and they animate the alpha values of the meshes to blend between them. It seems an odd choice, but perhaps that was a more efficient use of memory or GPU for the Xbox. The DS versions are particularly terrible, as they just sort of wobble side-to-side. At least in the LS version they are clapping, which looks a lot better.

A few things here: First, awesome job with listing the mods you're using. And good job with the post's setup. Please do not post the same thing in two different threads. Make a new topic thread in the correct area. It keeps things tidy. You can get help there.

I typed this as I waited for my video to upload to YouTube . . . Today, I ramble about . . . mod overview videos. After my recent video on the (now ancient) Lonna Vash mod, I decided to keep up my output by working on another mod overview video. I would strike while the irons were still red hot and reach into the archive for some forgotten work not available on Deadly Stream. This time it would be on the "Ord Mandell" mod by RedHawke. I'd use mods to freshen it up. I'd (attempt to) add my (disputed) trademark wit to it. I'd make (allegedly) hilarious comments on the numerous spelling and grammar errors. I'd toss off sarcastic asides on the reused maps. All would be joyous. After recording a bunch of footage, I realized that I hadn't checked out YouTube to see what other videos had already covered this topic. Not that another video would stop me from finishing - I was too far in to give up - but I did have to "scope out the competition." The first video I saw was a general overview. It wasn't bad but it wasn't going as deep. I was about to "x" out the tab for YouTube and then - I saw it. Off to the right of the screen, I saw another video - nay, 4 videos as it was a series. It beckoned me. It called out as if to say "You know you want to look." And then I did. Oh no. It was a good series. It covered the materials in ways I couldn't. For starters, it had the novelty of being on Android system, and I hadn't seen a mod covered that way before. Unlike my planned take, it covered the material not with a haughty disdain but actual unvarnished joy. It didn't rail against the errors but for what it brought to the table. And it was worth watching. So I'll just say this: go check out Negative Zero's "Ord Mandell" series. Part 0 is a modding tutorial to install the mod to Android devices but that's not your cuppa tea, start off with Episode 1 and see a modding / Let's Play video done right. TL;DR: This is a good video to watch. And this one . . . is mine. (Be kind . . . even if I wasn't.) P.S.: Negative Zero, where's a review of the Steam version of M4-78 EP? (As I don't think he's a member, maybe someone could ask him?) Post-P.S.: This is now also a thread on the KotOR Subreddit.

Wow, so first porting is cool, and now the site is hosting cracks. There really is a glitch in the Matrix. I particularly enjoyed how the threads were locked to prevent discussion. Nice touch.

@ebmar, I just released this video. I would like to see how this one goes before I discuss follow ups.

The other mod was not the Yavin IV mod . . . but that might be worth a look down the road.

Just want to let you know that I had my guessing right! 😉 Actually, I'm guessing not with only this one. There is this one mod that I kind of certain could be your secret project that you were working on back then; Yavin IV mod. Ah, going straight to the Youtube now! *grabs rockcorn*

@ebmar Here's a rough idea of how these wraps would work:

Hello! I have just tested the encounter using the optional Vanilla Inventory and Difficulty. I am satisfied with the difficulty and amazed by the quality of your visual overhaul but I noticed you can still take her special weapons from the remains which I was hoping not to. Could you please take the extra step and not make her drop her customized blaster and sword in your next update? It's just a suggestion, of course. I have myself changed the .utc file already so that she won't drop her weapons.

Heys guys, just for clarification, I figured things out. Well, I didn't figure them out in MDLOps, but everything works fine with the supermodel in MDLEdit. Thanks for the help.

Those are just the reskins/rework of Jolee's robe. Again, they use the same rig and require no special preparation. The only thing to note would be using the female supermodel for the female version. Edit: Like so: The ones that won't work are N_DarkJHiM/N_DarkJHiF, as they are a variant of PMBMM/PFBMM and thus have a skirt requiring the TSL rig and animations.

And who needs to be a snarky forum member?

Heh. Who'd be a forum owner/admin, huh?

So, what is it? *baiting" 🤣 Haha! Sorry if my words got you confused, what I mean is I have two options with my guess on this, first with Ord Mandell, and second with Yavin IV. So, the right one seems to the Ord Mandell. 😁 *Back to the video*
