This mod adds the head model of the Jedi Knight companion Kira Carsen from The Old Republic MMO, ported to K1 as a selectable player head for female characters. TOR uses the same base head mesh for Kira and Meetra Surik, so this was basically a two-for-one deal, given that the most difficult element is reskinning the face. N.B. Some screenshots feature @ndix UR's KOTOR High Resolution Menus A few notes: While aligned as closely as possible, the neckline probably won't match perfectly. Expect some visible gaps on body models that don't hide the join. The TOR head models use separate textures for the face, eyes, and hair. In order to allow for DS transitions, these had to be merged together (and the UVs adjusted to match). The eyes are the big loser in this. They went from having their own dedicated 256x256 texture to being shrunk down to a corner where they could be squeezed in. An additional consequence of the texture merge is no normal maps, due to the hair requiring alpha masking. TOR heavily relies on tint mapping textures for variation - skin tone, hair colour, eye colour, etc. Unfortunately, while the tint colours are available in the material files, the specifics of their shaders are currently unknown to me, so the best I can do is experiment with various blend modes to approximate the look. It may require some further experimentation and kludging. Not even having specularity, much less the advanced (by comparison) graphical features of TOR, expect textures to look pretty flat by comparison to the originals. KOTOR has a maximum bone limit per mesh of 16. This creates a problem for TOR meshes, as adding the eyelids to the face bone array pushes that to 18. I had to drop 2 bones to make it work. I chose the two nose corner bones, as they seemed the least important. I don't know what effect this may have on various facial animations though. The hair meshes are currently completely rigid. Possibly I may add a danglymesh version in a future update. Dark Side transitions are included, but they are relatively mild. I'm not a big fan of the zombie look. In an act of ultimate laziness, the mod currently uses all the same portraits as the TSL mod. I might eventually update them to make them more K1-like.

I dug this out of my collection. I believe I made it for someone ages ago: https://www.darthparametric.com/files/kotor/tsl/[TSL]_Player_Head_Unused_K1_PFHC03.7z
-
PFHC03 is already in TSL, just unused. PFHC02 would have to be ported.

Ah, just backfaces to the existing skirts.

Fixed Hologram Models and Admiralty Redux for TSLRCM
DarthParametric commented on DarthParametric's file in Mods

It needs to be patched with TSLPatcher. Presumably you could add that to the assassin mod.

Nicely done. That waistline always bugged the hell out of me. Is the cloth meant to be a single piece draped over the belt chain, folded in half effectively?

TOR Ports: Kira Carsen Female Player Head for TSL

Yeah looking at the source it appears the button isn't an image but a CSS element <a href="https://deadlystream.com/files/file/xxxxx" class="ipsButton ipsButton_primary ipsButton_fullWidth ipsButton_small">View File</a> I guess I'll just make my own button then. With blackjack, and hookers.

@Kainzorus Prime: Did you want that exact head you linked to in the first post? It looks like the same mesh variant as Lord Abaron, the purity-obsessed bloke on Korriban - https://swtor.jedipedia.net/en/npc/lord-abaron - which makes things easy. Edit: Initial in-game test I need to adjust the eyelids, tone down the weights a tad. There was a lot less to work with on a male head compared to the female eyelids.

Revan and Meetra heads ported from SWTOR

I think we need an Oola emote in order to properly rate this mod. I'd be interested in seeing a before and after pic to see the body adjustments. Did you get rid of the ridiculously tiny waist?

It seems like editing an autogenerated post created in the release forum breaks its initial formatting, including losing the "view file" button. It sure would be helpful to be able to see the underlying BBCode.....

Presumably you have pointed KTool at your install directory via a registry edit? It was coded before Steam was a thing and doesn't know it exists unless you point it to it. Personally I just use Convert2DA to switch between tab-delimited text and binary 2DAs. That way you can just edit them in Excel or Google Docs, or some other spreadsheet program.

If you enable the "Look in the game's Override" option in Tools -> Options -> Other then it will read 2DAs in the base game Override folder. It doesn't know about Workshop folders though.

There are no custom heads as such. At least not in terms of morphs like in Mass Effect, for example. There are only a handful of fixed player head models, with various textures for complexion/makeup/scars/tattoos/etc. plus some addon meshes for beards/cybernetics/jewellery/etc. It wouldn't be significantly more difficult to recreate one of those, just not particularly practical given that each such head would need to be manually assembled and compiled into something KOTOR could use. It may eventually prove less burdensome if plans regarding utilising the TOR skeleton bear fruit, but as it stands now I'd not expect too much in that regard. As per this thread, there's no canon Exile in terms of a unique mesh like Revan, Satele, Malgus, etc. It's just a slightly altered version of a generic NPC head shared by Kira Carsen.

If you are also using the standalone M4-78, needs to be installed in its folder. Or if you are using some other Workshop mod that alters appearance.2da over the top of those, then whatever that is. This is why people say not to use the Workshop.

If you are using TSLRCM from the Workshop, you need to install the mod to TSLRCM's Workshop folder, not the game folder.
