Adding onto Vriffs point about the Discord channel there's plenty of people that are probably in the same headspace as you that you could talk to and also it'd be a great discussion for future KPatches! Edit, here's the links: https://discord.gg/B6hszS7Ps https://discord.gg/kotor https://discord.gg/openkotor

It's in our github, the sqlite db files. We develop and maintain KPM over on the OpenKotOR discord, if you have any questions or want to collaborate on anything feel free to join if you're not a member yet and someone can probably offer any support if you run into patch development problems.

It is advisable to rotate the ankle joint and straighten the arms at the elbows.

Bones are needed to deform the geometry of an imported model. Your geometry has remained in its original position. It is easier for you to export the model from TOR. with the bones and weights already included. The bones will allow you to deform the mesh in Blender, and the vertex groups (with their associated weights) can be renamed to match the vertex groups used in KOTOR. If importing bones with vertex groups is not possible: 1. Create a skeleton and bind it to the mesh. 2. Deform the mesh using this skeleton so that the arms and legs are in the same positions as those of the KOTOR model. 3. Rename the weighted vertex groups so that they match the vertex groups of the KOTOR model. 4. Apply (save) the mesh modifier and delete the skeleton. 5. Rename the UV map of the imported model to "UVMap." 6. Join the objects using Ctrl + J. Select the mesh of the imported model first, then the mesh of the KOTOR model, and press Ctrl + J. 7. Enter Edit Mode and delete the KOTOR model mesh. 8. Export the model. It’s better to use the original hands. Getting the weight settings right is incredibly difficult. If I happen to work on something like this in the near future, I’ll post step-by-step screenshots.

Do you still have the bones and weights? You could rename the vertex groups along with their corresponding weights by following the same pattern. The legs and arms must match the positioning of the original; otherwise, the animation will not play correctly. Bones are required to make these adjustments.

[Yes AI was used in this work, if you dont like that, then thats cool This is not for you] Hello! I’ve been building kjk, a new engine that runs KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2 with Jedi Academy-style real-time combat, so you’re actually swinging the saber and throwing Force powers yourself, plus co-op with friends. It uses your own game files, so nothing’s pirated or bundled. Where it’s at right now: KOTOR 1 is fully playable from the Endar Spire to the ending, light side or dark Dialogue, quests, party, stores, the galaxy map, plus pazaak, swoop racing and the turret all work Combat uses your KOTOR stats and feats with JA’s sabers, blasters and Force powers, and you also get ragdolls and dismemberment Co-op works: your friends play your companions, and you can join over Steam without port forwarding Mac, Windows, Linux, and Steam deck are all supported natively. (Steam deck performance is not very good yet) You’ll need KOTOR 1, KOTOR 2 and Jedi Academy installed (Steam and GOG copies get found automatically) Its coming along nicely, and some playtesters have played 3 person co-op from Endar Spire all the way into Tatooine. Our two biggest challenges are getting all the cutscenes looking good, and getting retargeted jedi knight animations to look nice on the differently proportioned KOTOR characters. You can download and play the alpha here: https://github.com/kjk-engine/kjk/releases Discord: https://discord.gg/23bAu2wvH Here is video proof, although this was recorded in single player (note that this is a much older build with more bugs):
