Thought I’d check in on hearing the news of James Earl Jones’ death. Good to see community still going.

I think the Jedi Temple textures aren't being changed as I believe it's meant to resemble the original Jedi Temple mod for K2. But the Jedi Temple has been reworked from the Demo. To name a few changes, the medical room you wake up in now actually resembles a medical room, the weird ray shield has been replaced with a giant door, and the weird speeder was removed with its Jedi mechanic being moved to another location who is now sorting through a filing cabinet instead. I'll see with Logan if he's fine with this being shown to the public, though I must put a firm emphasis on my earlier comment:

Ulic Qel-Droma's Mesh Suit I agree doesn't have any good reskins, mainly because the item is cut meaning player's can't obtain it without mods/cheats and most player's don't know it exists. But for Exar Kun's Light Battle Suit, there is at least one reskin for it... https://deadlystream.com/files/file/286-exar-kun-battle-suit/

Oh ok, well if you ever do then thank you, and thanks for taking the time to respond.

I am working on a mod and having issues with new abilities and feats not displaying the floating red damage text whenever they cause damage. For example, I made an unarmed feat that triggers OnDamage if the attacking character has the unarmed feat and does not have any weapon equipped in the right weapon slot, causing the attacker to deal the target an additional d12 of damage. It deals damage like it's supposed to, but the floating damage text never appears. I tried every function that made sense in the scripting tool's function list to make it show the amount of damage being dealt by the new feat. It will display the additional amount of damage to the combat feedback log. Using BarkString on the attacker works to get a number showing the correct amount of damage on-screen, but it shows in the top-left corner of the screen and only briefly. I'm not sure if there's a function I overlooked in the scripting tool or if the floating damage text only appears for certain effects. I thought for sure that FloatingTextStringOnCreature would be what I'm looking for, but it never displayed the damage. Any help would be appreciated. EDIT: The issue was the enemy being attacked by the character was applying the damage to itself, instead of the character applying damage to the enemy. All it took was having the character be the caller for an ExecuteScript function, and having the script called in ExecuteScript apply the damage to the enemy. Now the floating damage text appears as intended, and the damage shows up in the combat log without using the SendMessageToPC script function.

Just yesterday I noticed some chatter and Wizard, the author of KotORModSync and a co-author working on the Holocron Toolset found some more missing level files from a Sleheyron level. The model files are the following. crossgob.mdl/mdx hal01gob.mdl/mdx hal02gob.mdl/mdx hal03gob.mdl/mdx hal04gob.mdl/mdx So I took it upon myself to try and reconstruct it, the results are far from adequate but I haven't put that much time into it yet. This is the level viewed in Blender. This is the interior of the level viewed in Blender. And here are some shots of it in-game. No lightmaps! I'm blind! aahhhhhhhh Poorly made lightmaps! I'm going blind! ahhhhhhh Though I didn't do any setup for baking the lightmaps, I just baked them as they were so that's probably why they turned out awful, I also did not familiarise myself with the proper procedure when baking them so the files were huge. None of the games doors fit the hallways unfortunately! Which is a shame. The minimap turned out even worse. But again, I just threw it together quickly to see what it all looked like in-game. Now I just have to figure out what to do with it. Thor110

The mouth issue is due to the facial bones in K1 & K2 being different. If you just port a head without correcting that, then they'll be animated improperly. I've posted a sort of mini-tutorial on it here.

I'll try a little tutorial: Conversion: With KotOR Tool you extract pmhc07.mdl (from Kotor II -> BIFs -> models.bif -> Aurora Model) and pmhc07.mdx (from Kotor II -> BIFs -> models.bif -> Aurora Model Extension). Now with MDLEdit you load the mdl file, just to see which supermodel you need (it's almost always S_Female02, but still good to check). After loading the file, on the bottom half of the window you see "Header", click that and on the top half of the window you see "Supermodel: S_Female02". This is the supermodel from K1 that you need (the supermodel from the game you are porting to is needed). The mdl and mdx of the supermodel need to be in the same location as the model you're trying to convert. So, in KotOR Tool you need to export those files, Kotor I -> BIFs -> Aurora Model / Aurora Model Extension -> s_female02.mdl/mdx. Preperation for conversion done. Now you open MDLEdit, make sure the KOTOR1/KOTOR2 button below the menu is on KOTOR2, because you're loading a K2 model. Load the mdl file, you might think you can now just switch to K1 and save a binary file, but no. You can now switch the button to KOTOR1, you Save -> ASCII, then you load that ascii file, now you can save as binary (which the game can use). Put the mdl and mdx in K1's override folder. Textures/portraits: K1 has 2 more darkside transition phases and the filenames work slightly different. K2: neutral/light, halfway dark (...d1), full dark (...d2) K1: neutral/light, 1/4 dark (...d1), halfway dark (...d2), 3/4 dark (...d3), full dark (...d) With PMHC07 you're in luck, the portraits all have the same pose, so in an image editor you can combine different images to get the intermediate phases. For example, load the neutral portrait, add the halfway dark portrait in a layer on top, set the opacity of that layer to 50% and you get K1's d1 phase portrait. You do pretty much the same with the head textures. Portraits: Kotor II -> ERFs -> TexturePacks -> swpc_tex_gui.erf -> P -> po_PMHC07/po_PMHC07d1/po_PMHC07d2 Head textures: Kotor II -> ERFs -> TexturePacks -> swpc_tex_tpa.erf -> P -> PMHC07/PMHC07d1/PMHC07d2 2da files: To turn this into a mod you would need to use the TSLPatcher, but that's a bit beyond the scope of this tutorial. You can however study the changes.ini file that come with one of my mods that do something similar, it's mostly just changing P[M/F]H[A/B/C/H] values to PMHC07. There's no PMHC07 in K1 so you can stick to that name. To test things for yourself you need to add lines to portraits.2da, appearance.2da and heads.2da (You can extract those with KotOR Tool to your override if you don't already have these in there. Kotor I -> BIFs -> 2da.bif -> 2D Array). You can add a new line with the * at the bottom of the list and you can copy lines to that new line, so copy another row (for example an existing PMHC one, right click the "button" of an existing line, left from the first column -> Copy Row, similarly you can paste that on the new row). Make sure you change things accordingly. Portraits.2da lists the playable characters and points to lines in appearance.2da, appearance.2da points to a head in heads.2da. In this case I would repeat how things are done for an existing pmhc, for example pmhc05. Good luck and happy experimenting

Rest in Peace James Earl Jones… May the Force be with you.
