Kotor2 camera issues
DarthParametric replied to Ginnet Reno's topic in Knights of the Old Republic General
This should only be possible with the Aspyr version of TSL, since they added controller support to it. Won't/can't happen in the vanilla version or in K1. At least not without some emulation layer allowing controller input. So as with many other problems it introduces, your life would be easier rolling back to the "legacy pc" version in the betas branch drop-down. At least for future reference anyway. You don't want to do it mid-playthrough since it will nuke your current install. -
Kotor2 camera issues
DarthParametric replied to Ginnet Reno's topic in Knights of the Old Republic General
It's definitely not a mod issue. It's user peripheral input for sure. Might help to see the full contents of Device Manager to see what's plugged in. -
I haven't played ME for several years now, but for ME1 if you have an AMD CPU you'll want the "Silent Patch" which fixes broken lighting on character models on Noveria - https://cookieplmonster.github.io/mods/mass-effect/ There was an alternative mod that did the same thing before that on Nexus (might still be there) but it was laced with adware. Here's an exhaustive rundown of what is happening under the hood to cause the issue for anyone interested.
-
Yes, replacing the exe with HoloPatcher will prevent the issue happening.
-
Specifically, it nukes files that use certain characters in their filenames when it repacks the MOD for the Grove module, meaning that k_pdan_state1-.ncs and k_pdan_state1+.ncs get deleted. These scripts are the starting conditionals that check the value of the DAN_BOLOOK_STATE global, without which the DLG won't function correctly.

Help needed - Cat model and texture in KOTOR I and II
DarthParametric replied to JediArchivist's topic in Mod Requests
It would be useful to know which site, specifically. Is that the only version of the texture available? It's only 128x128 which would be pitiful even when KOTOR was new. Edit: Just had a look at the model and it isn't going to work. It uses blendshapes (AKA morph targets), not skeletal animation.- 6 replies

So it's already rigged then. That makes things a lot easier. I gather this is something you downloaded somewhere?- 6 replies

DarthParametric replied to JediArchivist's topic in Mod Requests
Simply rigging it isn't going to achieve anything unless you also create a suite of custom animations for it as well. Let's be honest, nobody is going to do that for you. Your only practical option for custom models is to use an existing skeleton so that you can use its animations. I don't think there's any quadruped rig in either game that would work for a cat though.- 6 replies

MOD:Fixed Hologram Models and Admiralty Redux for TSLRCM
DarthParametric replied to DarthParametric's topic in Mod Releases
It works perfectly fine. All bets are off though if you are using 100 other mods. Take it up with the author of the list. -
Yeah, seems to be a problem across the board. Btw, this does not belong in the Releases section. It should be in the Site Feedback section.

K1R is basically a dead mod at this point with no active support. But your problem is unlikely to have anything to do with it anyway, so this is the wrong place to post about it. You can use a script edit to skip the fighter minigame. Download this archive, extract k_ren_levescape.ncs and put it in your Override folder.

Mod Request - Scout Jacket Instead of Vest
DarthParametric replied to mancingtom's topic in Mod Requests
Ah, a mistake on my part. The shadow flags were enabled, but the files were ancient and apparently the model classification wasn't set to Character, which caused the shadows not to render. I've changed that and re-exported them. Tested in-game and shadows work as intended now. Attachments don't seem to be working for me at the moment, so you'll have to grab it from here. -

Your mod list attachment is broken. It's a dead link. I can see that Bastila's conversation with the player after the initial scene with Carth doesn't have the edited StrRef that K1CP makes, indicating interference by another mod. The script that fires between the DLGs is K1CP's though, hence the movie playing. Edit: Actually it's not the hideout module. I forgot that the switch to HoloPatcher meant we just edit the existing StrRef directly now rather than appending a new one. I'll also need tar_m03af.mod from the Modules folder.

Mod Request - Scout Jacket Instead of Vest
DarthParametric replied to mancingtom's topic in Mod Requests
So I can confirm that the image data is being stored vertically flipped. Most applications can read the file and show it correctly, but KOTOR can't do that. So a hacky workaround is to add the -flip command to the batch file. That will cause KOTOR to render it correctly, but everything else (like Photoshop, etc.) to show it as vertically flipped. I'm not entirely sure that there's a command to get it to export in a form where everything will render it correctly. It might require hex editing the files afterwards to set the proper flags. -
Mod Request - Scout Jacket Instead of Vest
DarthParametric replied to mancingtom's topic in Mod Requests
Can you open one of the created TGAs in the OUTPUT folder and take a screenshot? Use Photoshop, Gimp, Paint.NET, etc. Are you using the TGA in the Override, or did you convert it to TPC? Edit: OK so I tested it on my end and it seems it's an issue with how ImageMagick creates its TGAs. It's causing the game to flip them. If you follow the steps above to convert them to TPCs using TGA2TPC, that fixes the problem, since it automatically detects flipped textures. If you do go that route, delete the TGAs/TXIs in your Override after copying the TPCs across. I'll also see if I can figure out the command to get ImageMagick to create the TGAs with the proper orientation. -

DarthParametric replied to mancingtom's topic in Mod Requests
Looks like you're using one of the original textures from the INPUT folder rather than the combined texture from the OUTPUT folder. -
Mod Request - Scout Jacket Instead of Vest
DarthParametric replied to mancingtom's topic in Mod Requests
Download the attached 7-zip archive. It contains the freeware ImageMagick program needed to combine the textures, and a batch file to feed it the commands. Extract the archive somewhere (preferably not in Program Files). Download both sets of DH's textures linked above. Extract DH's textures and put them into the INPUT folder. Alternatively, if you want to use the vanilla Scout leg textures or ones from a different mod, put TGA versions of those in the OUTPUT folder. Double-click on Create_Combined_Texture.bat and it will merge the two sets of textures together in the OUTPUT folder. In that folder you'll find the two newly merged TGAs, two TXIs, and a sub-folder with the models. There are two versions of the model, one with the vanilla pouches, one without. Pick whichever version you prefer. Copy and paste the models and textures into your Override folder. However, since the textures are pretty big, I would suggest an additional step to convert the textures from TGAs to TPCs. Download TGA2TPC and extract it somewhere. Double-click tga2tpc.exe to run it. In the row of buttons up the top, click the first one, the folder icon, to set the export folder where the TPCs will be saved. Next click the +TGA button and browse to find both merged textures to load them. On the far right, click the Settings button and select "DXT5 (Alpha)". Now click the Run button. You can copy and paste the two TPCs into your Override. You don't need the TGAs or TXIs. The TPC step is entirely optional though, so I leave the choice up to you. The UVs for the jacket of the pouchless version, especially the female, were pretty wonky, so I fiddled with them to improve them a little. It's still not perfect however, as DH created the Scoundrel texture to fit the vanilla UVs. My pouchless model was a bit of a hack job that resulted in lots of distortion/stretching. I've (hopefully) gotten rid of the worst of it though, and as a bonus the back is no longer mirrored now as well. Scout_Scoundrel_Hybrid_Combine_Textures.7z -
Animated Emitters in Room Models
DarthParametric replied to WildKarrde's topic in General Kotor/TSL Modding
Curious. It would probably require investigation into the exe to see what is going on. Alas, @ndix UR who has undertaken such code spelunking in the past isn't around these days. -
Mod Request - Scout Jacket Instead of Vest
DarthParametric replied to mancingtom's topic in Mod Requests
I'd say the most expedient route would be to use my Scoundrel jacket with Scout legs hybrid mod and then pair it with Dark Hope's Scoundrel retexture that makes it a leather jacket, coupled with her Scout retexture for the legs. However, snce my mod sandwiches both textures together into one, side-by-side, you'd need to manually do that yourself with DH's textures. Alternatively, I can provide a batch file for use with the commandline tool ImageMagick to do it for you. Edit: Here's what it would look like, pouches and no pouches versions: Also if you want it for the Scout then the model will need to be edited, since it's currently set up to replace the Scoundrel. -
You could do starting conditional checks for the player having DS powers like choke or lightning so you could just off him directly in dialogue, like Uthar does to Shaardan if you give him a fake sword. Killing him with a weapon could probably also be done directly in the scene, although in my experience that's always a little flaky.

Wouldn't be before that, since it's not something that warrants a hotfix. So no sooner than Xmas 2025 probably, based on the prior release cadence.
