Hello, it's been a while since the beginning of the year, but I finally finished the machinima I was working on and I just wanted to share it here. I spent 3+ years on this since I first started it soon after the covid hit the world. Obviously I didn't work every single month on it but still it took way longer than expected. It's a second part to another machinima I did back on summer 2015 when I first started modding Kotor. Since then I learned a lot about the game and really put to use the best that the new tools can offer. So I really have to thank the community for that. Here's the link: Texts are in Spanish but I added English subtitles where necessary. If you wanna see the first part you can go to the same channel or watch it here: I really hope you can enjoy this, even if the story makes no sense lol. I plan on moving on to another projects, so I won't be doing Kotor modding for a time (not that I was already too active or anything anyway lol). I'm still going to visit this site regularly and try to help some people if they have questions, maybe even create some little mods that I have on the request list. I still have to look on MotionBuilder and stuff to maybe make animations easier. One day I will come back and create those Selkath animations. Cheers!

Hey, sorry for the delay. I just tried the mod with a new and an used saved game and it works fine. Are you selecting the right folder in the installer for the right game? Keep in mind you have to select the main folder and not the override one. The Power should appear at the bottom of the Force Powers list when you level up.

@DarthParametric I gave it a try. I created my own set of bones and simulated them inside Blender with one of the combat animations. The result is okay inside the program but the bones have both rotation and translation to make the movement look like this. So if you parent them to the head for example you are combining the translations and you get weird results. One solution is to leave them unparented which breaks the rest of the animations but that wouldn't be a problem if someone was to bake them all. The manual cleanup to make smooth loop transitions for each animation is what makes this a pain in the ass. Not to mention is not as realistic because the bones need a few seconds to get back to the resting pose. Also I'm still using Blender 2.79 which uses the old plugin where you have one scene per animation so I would have to bake every single time for each animation. If I'm not mistaken in the new version of the plugin you can have all the keyframes in the timeline like Kotormax so that would be a solution. You can even test the results in Blender itself without having to go to the game or 3DSMax like I did here: The problem comes when apparently the mesh has verts with more than four weights and also some of them go over 1.0. So I corrected that automatically using MDLOps but unfortunately the movement I created breaks in game: So in my opinion this is too much work for too little. I was thinking why not parent the whole lekku to the head so there isn't any deformation? (although there would probably be clipping). Or maybe set it as a danglymesh?

View File Darth Sion K1 Port Darth Sion K1 Port By Alvar007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION: This mod allows you to play as the Sith Lord Darth Sion from TSL. There is also a custom item robe that you can equip to play as him whenever you want in the game. INSTALLATION: Just run the .exe that comes with this download and select the game's installation main folder (NOT override). To use the custom item you need to enable cheats and type "giveitem darthsion_k1" without quotes in the console. COMPATIBILITY: The item will only work if you didn't modify your appearance.2da before installing this mod. Otherwise you can change the .uti manually to make it work: just open the .uti with K-GFF Editor and change the "subtype" value in the second STRUCT ID inside PropertiesList (the one that has the PropertyName as 59 and not the other one with a value of 1 in that field) from 509 to whatever the row label is in your appearance.2da file. You will have to open it with Kotor Tool after patching it to know this. BUGS: None that I'm aware of. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS MODIFICATION IS PROVIDED AS-IS AND IS NOT SUPPORTED BY BIOWARE/OBSIDIAN ENTERTAINMENT, LUCASARTS, DISNEY OR ANY LICENSERS/SPONSORS OF THE MENTIONED COMPANIES.

View File Gamorrean Animations Pack Gamorrean Animations Pack By Alvar007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION: This mod adds a bunch of animations to the Gamorreans that were specified in the dialogue files but were missing in the model files. The added animations are the following: · Two grenade throwing animations retargeted from the male humanoid supermodel. · One shield activation animation retargeted from the male humanoid supermodel. · One inject animation retargeted from the male humanoid supermodel. · One new custom TALK_FORCEFUL animation used in conversations. INSTALLATION: Just run the .exe that comes with this download and select the game's installation main folder (NOT override). COMPATIBILITY: This mod will work as long as you don't have any modifications in your gamorrean model files or their apprearance.2da rows. BUGS: The combat parry and dodge animations for the player when facing the gamorreans will look as if they were facing a melee humanoid user due to the fact that I had to change their modeltype. Unfortunately there is no way around this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS MODIFICATION IS PROVIDED AS-IS AND IS NOT SUPPORTED BY BIOWARE/OBSIDIAN ENTERTAINMENT, LUCASARTS, DISNEY OR ANY LICENSERS/SPONSORS OF THE MENTIONED COMPANIES.

The 3 mods (Darth Sion port, his Force Power and the gamorrean anims pack) have been submitted and they are pending approval now. @DarthParametric I assume by your post that the danglymeshes don't do the job? I have yet to experiment with a physics sim. Which one were you thinking of, MotionBuilder perhaps? I don't know if what you're asking is accomplishable but if I were to try that I would need to know the location of the flappy bits as I'm not too familiar with the TOR models. I assume the bones for the lekku wouldn't work for the lobes of the Selkath for example. So I would have to take every one into account.

View File Sion Force Heal K1 New Force Power: Sion Force Heal By Alvar007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION: This mod adds a new Force Power to K1 based on Darth Sion's Force Rage Heal we can see in K2 and the end of a combat round. I've also added a custom effect texture for when the Force Power is being casted. Includes: · Ported animation. · Ported icon and custom description. INSTALLATION: Just run the .exe that comes with this download and select the game's installation main folder (NOT override). COMPATIBILITY: This mod replaces the lightsaber throw loop animation with the rage one, so as long as you don't have any other mods replacing the S_Male02 supermodel files it should work fine. In case you do, you could merge them together, provided that they are not using the same animation already. BUGS: The animation can get cancelled if you are running while casting the Force Power. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS MODIFICATION IS PROVIDED AS-IS AND IS NOT SUPPORTED BY BIOWARE/OBSIDIAN ENTERTAINMENT, LUCASARTS, DISNEY OR ANY LICENSERS/SPONSORS OF THE MENTIONED COMPANIES.
