For the Download section: When looking through a particular user's mods, could you give the option to sort by how many downloads each mod has had? (I'd like to be able to glance and see what my top 5 mods from time to time.)

It's an especially good practice to get into before modding TSL. For example, n_twilekf001.utc is used 6 times there. As I said above, K1 is generally pretty good with unique resrefs. I'd say around 95% of its resrefs are unique. But TSL, ugh. So many re-used/duplicate resrefs.... Edit: I should clarify that I am talking specifically about character resrefs here. K1 is much more generic when it comes to resrefs for things like placeables.

I second this suggestion.

Hah, so doing a search in KTool, I can see one other instance of n_twilekf001.utc. The way the search tool works though doesn't specify the parent module. So I looked through every damn module in the game and where do I find it? STA_M45AD - the final level of the Star Forge. In other words, it's the UTC used for the Easter egg cheat "dancedancemalak". Given that, you are probably ok to keep it as-is, but this should be a lesson for future modding efforts: don't half-ass it, do it right the first time.

I decided to add an option for either having the two at the side or the leading Dark Jedi become a Sith Assassin. I might add the stealth thing sometime later. Will upload soon, just need to make some screenshots.

It looks like the thumbnails for mods have a white background set in the css. Could this be removed so that transparency in screenshots display correctly?

Yeah looking at the source it appears the button isn't an image but a CSS element <a href="https://deadlystream.com/files/file/xxxxx" class="ipsButton ipsButton_primary ipsButton_fullWidth ipsButton_small">View File</a> I guess I'll just make my own button then. With blackjack, and hookers.

Well, I guess that there is only so much that I could do and I suppose I should pull the curtains on this and upload the textures. I fear that a non half-assed job would require for me to work on the models and their placement on the trees (which is done awfully by Bioware as the attached images in the thread show). Thanks again everyone for your help, support and solutions!

That's irrelevant if the resref (i.e., filename) is the same. K1 is generally fairly good about unique resrefs, but with such a generic name chances are high that there will be a clash. I suspect you'll almost certainly need to do a proper module injection.

So I've looked into the tslpatchdata of this mod and I see model files, appearance files, utc files but no textures... Is this how it's supposed to be? I imagine you'd need to actually port the textures and the models.

Nice first mod, but do Fenharel and DarthParametric know of what you've done? I doubt this is a bad thing as you technically are not stealing their textures from a certain point of view but pointing this out to them may be a good thing just so they are aware.

Does this put the twilek.utc file into the override? If that is so that may be a big mistake as files that have the same names, for example, g_darkjedi.utc may appear on the Endar Spire but if another NPC with that same tag appears in another module my Endar Spire NPC will appear in another module where g_darkjedi.utc is present. In this case, you might of just broken a lot of female twilek NPCs. There may be a better way to do this and can probably be explained better by someone else but I usually set the TSLPatcher to place the utc file into the .mod file of the module I want it to be in. For TSL this is not a problem as TSLRCM comes with .mod files but you'd require NPC Overhaul or K1R to get .mod files into your modules folder. Unless you either create a .mod file of your own and use that or insert it into the .rim file which I do not recommend though it'd probably work.
