OK, I have completed the lightmaps and submitted the finalized mod for approval: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2973-high-quality-taris-freighters/. The lightmaps should bring the freighters' brightness much closer to vanilla levels. In other news, I have put together a rough draft of DarthParametric's I-Wing on the roof of the Sandral Estate. I still need to lightmap it, but I have attached the current draft for reference in the meantime. Since DarthParametric's model already included seats and control console boxes, I did my best to finish off the inside of the cockpit frame and made the glass transparent...but of course you can't see most of the interior from the ground anyway. I think the transparency still enhances it, but if people prefer, I can black out the windows instead. Dantooine I-Wing (Draft).zip

View File High-Quality Taris Freighters This mod replaces the freighters parked outside the Sith base on Taris with the higher-quality version from Manaan. While I was at it, I also patched a large hole in the bottom of the upper freighter's landing platform. Lastly, I have replaced the freighters' texture with higher-resolution version from elsewhere in the original game files.

Damn, a decade since I did that thing. Interestingly, having a look at it, there are minimal overlapping faces, so it would require very little work to create functional lightmap UVs. Just a small bit of shuffling for the overlapping islands. There's plenty of space, because it was a pretty inefficient unwrap in terms of maximising pixel density.

Sure, I'll work on that next after I finish the Taris Freighter lightmaps.
