    Remix uses a custom DXVK wrapper for DX9 to Vulkan. I would assume because it's open source and multiplatform. Not sure if it's possible to bridge that and get Remix to accept the Zink input. Might require custom code.
  2. DarthParametric
    Interesting. Does it actually work with Remix though? Edit: Wait, that's DirectX 12. That's not going to work then I guess, since Remix needs 8/9. Oh well. Still might have other uses though.

    KSE got taken over by @Fair Strides many moons ago and I think someone else was helping with the last few versions? FS would have to chime in with the specifics. By the advent of v0.7, JdNoa was the primary author I believe. Fred Tetra contributed to changes in v0.6, FS and Varsity Puppet contributed to the changes in v0.7.

    No? They were were always shit. The implementation is fundamentally broken and not recommended for use by anyone. Aside from that, basically other than TSLRCM/M4-78 and Effix's various mods, pretty much everything on there is stolen and uploaded without permission. HP is a relatively new tool. Aside from being multi-platform, it opens up some possibilities beyond what TSLPatcher can handle. You can hotlink to DS-hosted textures, although only as regular embeds in a post, not in the image carousel the mod pages have. I don't know whether mod page images have a maximum upload count. Probably a question that only @Tyvokka can answer fully. I would really question whether any mod actually needs 70-odd preview images though. Just attach a curated selection of a dozen or so to the mod page and link to an offsite gallery with the full showcase for those that want it.

    I wasn't saying that you specifically should do it, just that Salk's request would make more sense if it harvested the heads and plonked them on the standard bodies. Someone else could do surgery. Left as-is they would be compatible with your textures with no further effort, but if you allow 3rd party mod reuse then they could probably stand to be remapped. You shouldn't be encouraging the use of Workshop mods. And no, loose textures aren't any more compatible with Workshop mods than other mods. Mac and Linux users can use the multi-platform HoloPatcher as a drop-in replacement for TSLPatcher, if it is required.

    It's not a "glitch", you just broke your install with incompatible mods.
  7. DarthParametric
    If you're going to start chopping up body parts, you'd be better off just lopping off the lite heads and turning them into standalone heads and using them on the "full fat" bodies, since that seems to be the only thing you're actually after.

    No, there will never be Iriaz in K1CP. It's not a content restoration mod. Besides, doesn't the K1R installer already offer Iriaz as a standalone option? Although presumably it would need to edit OnEnters and thus be a hard incompatibility with K1CP.
  9. DarthParametric
    No, K1 models do not work for TSL, or vice-versa. They need to be recompiled for the target game. I have no interest in creating a TSL version.

    It's somewhat random depending on what the player does, but most noticeable on Kashyyyk. You can find the specifics in the issue thread for it - https://github.com/KOTORCommunityPatches/K1_Community_Patch/issues/756 I haven't looked at it for over a year, so my recollections on the implementation specifics are kind of hazy, but I gather locking it to a cutscene was the most expedient and least intrusive (from a game changes standpoint) approach. If you wanted to change it then I'd suggest you'd need to strip all the scripted animation cues out of the DLG and manage them externally so they can't be interrupted.
  12. DarthParametric
    This was done to prevent the animations breaking.

    Upload the TPCs in the enduser mod (one for K1, one for TSL). Create a separate modder's resource with the source assets. Optionally you could have a single modder's resource or split it per game, since the site has per-game modder's resource sections. Its use will likely be pretty minimal, since most downloads will just be the actual mods, so just go with what you think is best. Have a look at how JC split his cloaked robes mods for how it could work.

    I assume you're still using NWMax? You may want to consider switching to KOTORMax (with this fix) and MDLEdit / MDLOps v1.02. Although note that these are not compatible with Tainia's Replacer due to changes in the ASCII format.
  15. DarthParametric
    With the advent of seedhartha's fork of KBlender and his implementation of binary model I/O, breaking normals shouldn't be an issue. At least if you can stomach using Blender.

    Wow, long time no see. Welcome back. You definitely want to split them for each game. Definitely not half a gig's worth. You'll have to create an off-site gallery somewhere. Imgur maybe, or you could create a Github repo and use their Sites functionality (have a look at Kex's skyboxes mods for an example of how it is done). Not sure off the top of my head, but I have released stuff under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 before - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ You'd need to add it to every release page and readme I guess. You'll want to read the rules regarding it, since I have never looked into it personally - https://deadlystream.com/topic/7454-deadlystream-forum-rules/?do=findComment&comment=73940
