Not much in the way of exciting eye candy at the moment, I'm still tinkering with Obi-Wan's head to get the weighting right in the brow area, so it is comeing... eventually! 😝 In the meantime, I've got a pair of models I'm going to upload as a modders resource: I've sliced the head off the Sith Soldier model and edited the neck so that a normal head will fit on it, properly. In the original model, deleting the head takes out the shoulder area too, so I've done some editing to eliminate that and this is the result. I've also done a slightly scaled down version for females as you can see, which also uses female animations. No particular project in mind to use them for, so as I say, they'll be released as a modders resource for others to get creative with.

It's not accounted for in the current version, but I have plans for an update that will add a starting cutscene for Canderous when he is the chosen jail breaker (since he's the only one that lacks one), and in that he will automatically re-equip his gear, just like now happens for the PC (and Bastila/Carth) at the end of the escape. I'm still working on the stunt animation at the moment. I may have to add an additional sequence to the end because the collision around the beds is too excessive to allow regular scripted anims to work as intended (a character can't get close enough to the bed). Either that or I need to adjust the walkmesh. I'm taking a break from it for a while to work on some K1CP additions, but here's a couple of snapshots of the WIP:

I agree and my asset contributions are also able to be used for this purpose. It's a great idea, really would be nice.

That certainly is a great idea. If anyone wants to use my skyboxes for this, you are free to do so from my end. Just make sure you check the Terms of Use of scifi3d.com where I got the models I used in my skyboxes.

Definitly would be a nice addition

Well, it's been a few years, eh?! SH just reminded me that this thread exists. It's definitely been a long time since I looked like I did (not that you could see much back then ). Sooo, here's an updated view. Gods, I can not smile to save my life! Personally, I blame the two front teeth. They're like a beaver's, all V-shaped.

The vanilla game setup is as follows. The exit node of the pre-Leviathan cutscene on the Hawk starts the Prison Block module with a waypoint in the torture room as the custom destination. When loading that module, the player is inside a trigger, which has the escape setup script as its OnEnter. This script spawns a force cage on top of the player, then gives the player a safety jump back to the waypoint in case they got displaced by the cage it seems. The end of that script starts the cutscene of the three troopers discussing the chosen jail breaker. Later on, when the jail breaker opens the doors and control is switched back to the player character, the PC is spawned at the destination waypoint near the door, where they were supposed to run to from their cage (like Bastila and Carth do). During the development of the mod, I moved the PC's starting point back inside their force cage and quickly discovered a collision problem. It seems that placeables that are spawned via script do not rotate the PWK to match the rotation of the parent placeable. Which is a pretty big problem if the PWK is non-symmetrical. It appears that Bioware, rather than fixing the underlying issue, just didn't bother putting the player back in their cage. After a lot of messing about, I ended up adding the player's cage to the GIT, so the initial setup script was changed to remove the (now unnecessary) spawning of the cage. I didn't encounter any errors with the player not starting the module correctly, so I'm not exactly sure what the vanilla setup was in aid of. Maybe it was some issue on the Xbox that forced that approach, or maybe it was a legacy of the original boarding sequence scene that was cut. Although either way I still see no reason to have spawned the cage via script. The vanilla script cannot be decompiled by DeNCS, but you can have a look at k_plev_escsetup_ATTEMPTED_RECONSTRUCTION.nss in the SOURCE folder for my interpretation of it based on the bytecode. What I probably should have done is just nixed the trigger setup altogether and moved everything into the module OnEnter. But by the time I actually figured out what the hell was going on under the hood with the spawned placeable I had been working on the mod for 3 or 4 weeks and was kind of sick of the whole thing and just wanted to get it out the door. Plus more radical changes would potentially raise additional potential compatibility issues. At some nebulous point in the future I may add my own boarding sequence, at which point I would definitely rework the entire initial setup. And yes, if you are using anything from K1R then it's likely got a whole bunch of incompatibilities.

Ah, I hadn't looked closely enough. I did use the mod you helped with for a long time.

Fully custom models are possible, but it's not going to be that easy. At a minimum, to be able to export this, you need to: Create Empty object Under KotOR Model Node set Type to MDL Root Rename to match exported filename or it could crash Reparent your Mesh object to a newly created Empty object

I tried loading Yavin IV, however, it crashed. But with Korriban Crystal Cave, it appears corrupt and you can't walk. But I figured out the problem. The modules uses certain .mdl/.mdx, vis, and lyt files in the models.bif, layouts.bif and lightmaps.bif archive in the PC version for their corresponding module. For instance, for Dantoonie Crystal Caves, they use m14ae_01a.mdl, mdx and m14ae_02a.mdl, mdx files in the models.bif for their module. However, in the Xbox version, they acquire it in danm14ae_a.rim and danm14ae_adx.rim in the rimsxbox folder since there are not in the models.bif or models2.bif. So what I had to do to make Korriban Crystal Cave function is I had to take assets from the danm14ae_a.rim and danm14ae_adx.rim like .mdl/mdx, lyt and vis files since the module is using an existing module from Dantoonie Crystal Caves but with minor changes. So I think to make Yavin IV or Ord Mantell to function is you have to obtain the assets you need from the rimsxbox folder since those are using existing module assets. Yes. It should be possible for the Original Xbox. It's not required to have a RGH/JTAG Xbox 360. However, I do recommend to upgrade an Original Xbox's Ram from 64MB to 128MB and or upgrade the CPU too.
