Could you give a sample of said dummy aabb node, in case I want to make my life more difficult?

For the record, if you need raw-ish comparing done on binary files, I have a software for that. In case you want checking done on differences between vanilla and compiled models. I’m in the process of moving right now though, but that should ease in a couple of days. Just in case.

Huh. I’m not sure if I’ve ever dared to try that one.

For mere weapon models, MDLEdit is quite enough. You read the source model, write it as ascii, load the ascii, set the target game, and write a new binary.

What makes a single-use placeable easier than making a room model?

Why would you lightmap a placeable anyway? That would make it un-reusable, since lighting would be wrong in other locations.

For the most of the meeting, Janek just sat silently, listening and observing; he had nothing to add, and on top of that, taking a reading of others was equally if not even more important than getting all possible information out of the conversation. To say the least, this didn’t sound good. When agent Reskos’ hologram appeared, Janek blinked an extra time, crossing his arms, doing his best (athough not completely succeeding) to not break from his neutral appearance. No, this most definitely didn’t sound good. Well, at least there was no telling what to expect, which could be a very bad or a very good thing. Probably both. ”Splendid”, Janek said as casually as possible, despite his growing nervousness, when a suitable moment finally presented itself. ”Let me get this straight. We’re supposed to dance straight into the lair of a Force-using, mind-controlling, dual-wielding, unaccounted entity, who either is or is connected to a missing Jedi master, and who creeps out the most seasoned undercover agents?” He took a quick breath, and continued: ”Don’t get me wrong, I’m not backing off. I simply prefer to know where I stand.”

Yeah, in most cases it doesn’t work. My point was, you can’t say it never works, just that in most cases it doesn’t work. As far as factions are concerned, you need to create both a row and a column for the faction. It’s practically a matrix. And then you need utc using that faction, of course. Classes, if I recall correctly, set the required feat table column names (I’m pretty sure it worked there...) and skill/feat progress tables (I think you can actually create new files for that and it works, although I might have used a pre-existing skill gain table) in the main class definition 2da.

I remember successfully creating new factions and custom (non-jedi) classes with custom feat gains, so the files included in those do work. In K1, at least. What Kexikus said, pretty much.

Some 2das can be added columns to and game recognizes them no problem. It’s just that not all (or even most) of them can be treated that way.

I’ll be interested to see what you’ve come up with! (For the record, that wasn’t a serious suggestion.)

”I’m the true Dark Lord of the Sith, bow down before me”? Seriously, I’m not sure it’s even possible to make the protagonist sound serious without rewriting half of the PC responses in K1...

They’re just a bit harder to install. Perhaps those people from other sites have had problems with not realizing that. It’s a bit different than installing on a wholly non-workshopped build, and the older installation instructions don’t take that into account (naturally, since it wasn’t an issue back when they were written).

Tython - Jedi Temple The call had been vague, but that was not surprising. Vagueness was something Janek was dealing with on almost daily basis. What was curious though, was the location: Jedi usually cleaned up their own messes, so why would the presence of a spy be needed? The thought was not only confusing, but also unsettling - the Jedi breaking out of their habits could only mean something bad, right? Deep in this line of thought, Janek entered the Temple and stopped for a moment to take in the scenery (exits: check, ambush locations: check). Tython. Why it had to be Tython of all places? To say that the sheer amount of Force-users lurking around the halls was making Janek nervous would be an understatement; for someone with a lot to hide, the fact that anyone could dig into his innermost secrets without him even realizing was a living nightmare. And on top of that, the architecture itself was making him dizzy. That was not good. Focus, Janek told himself. Putting his hands into his pockets, he half-consciously started to calculate totals to twenty, and moved forward, trying to find the meeting location. Easier said than done. He was told to get to a meeting in Jedi Council chambers... but not how to get there. Perhaps nobody realized he wasn’t familiar with the location? As this was his first time visiting the Temple, he had no idea where he should be going. After taking a wrong turn for the twentieth time, Janek finally gave up and asked for directions, which did give him some sense of where he was going, at last. Afraid of being late of the meeting, he rushed forward, almost colliding with a group of Jedi walking on opposite direction, but finally found the correct door. Hopefully.

Yeah, I’m not saying that adjusting would get rid of the issue completely (Revelation cutscene with ponytailed Revan, anyone?) - just that it might make things a bit more easy. I’m probably going to do it at some point anyway, since it annoys me so much if nothing else. MDLEdit makes it a bit easier than it was before, although it still gets old pretty quickly. But enough about that, I guess. I’ve off-topiced long enough. ...now that I look at it... If you don’t have any kind of tank, what’s the point of the tube (or whatever is the correct word for the piece that goes behind the neck)? It can’t be required for circulating the air through the mask, can it?

Oh, sorry. I’ve been struggling with it so long that I don’t remember everyone hasn’t. The thing is, at least on K1 (I haven’t looked into it in TSL) the placement of headgear hooks is incorrect (it is even inconsistent) causing major clipping (including Vanilla headgear sinking into character’s forehead). Fine-tuning the locations improves that greatly.

...I bet that fixing that dumb mask/gogglehook displacement issue would go a long way helping clipping issues. If there's new mask models coming out, I probably should get to it (unless someone else beats me to it). Also, that officer uniform looks awesome.

Okay, so let's see. Hopefully that works. I tried to match these to Imperial Agent specs, but they've never made too much sense to me, so I gave up and built something that does. (Also, it appears that my vocabulary is failing me. Bear with me.) I may draw a profile pic later if that's okay. Name: Janek "Sandsnake" Steele Class: SIS agent Occupation: sniper/field agent Equipment: sniper rifle (usually stashed somewhere out of the way unless needed), blaster pistol and concealed cortosis knife, black flight jacket, targeting/datalink headgear, and slicing equipment Age: 35 Force abilities: (not applicable) Biography: Target-oriented but untamed and easily bored, Janek has a reputation of resorting to reckless solutions... and being a general nuisance. Whether that's justified or not has never been solved: as a professional liar, he bears many faces, but does not talk about himself much - and even when he does, there's no guarantee he's telling the truth. He has a tendency to do things just to mess with people, but how much that is caused by a skewed mind and how much by a mere paranoia bred from profession is not known. He's deniably good at his job though, which is probably the only reason he still does have it. Although Janek has echani training and is capable of defending himself, he does prefer to avoid fighting unless he is at advantage, whether that's by sniping afar, back-stabbing an unaware opponent, or most preferably, turning a security system against its masters. Fluent in deception, infiltration and assassination, he is an experienced undercover agent, spending a lot of his time on the field, working in the shadows for the Republic... when he's not suspended for taking some rogue action or an unsanctioned mission, or simply irritating important people too much.

Concerning N-Drew’s question on previous post: Perhaps polls can be created only when you create a topic? I believe phpBB works that way at least, so this software might too.

Actually, I believe you are only partially correct, although I have not tested this particular issue (but I am 99% sure that what I’ve met is connected). I would assume that the issue is not the mismatch between the filename and the internal name itself, but that there is more than one model with the same internal name in the same level at the same time, and engine gets confused. (My guess is that the game loads models by filename, but then the engine uses their internal names. I could be wrong about that, though, it’s simply how it looks to me. I don’t claim to have any secret knowledge about the engine.)

You are aware that it shouldn’t be used with TSLRCM, right?
