Yeah I don't have the font, so I just manually connected them. But I remember using them in the past. Is it called something like Star Vader? Although I guess there are probably a bunch. Anyway there should be a SW title font that will properly connect letters by switching between uppercase and lowercase, and they should also have joiner pieces as extra characters. Read the readme that came with it I guess.

Are you using the Steam version of TSL with Workshop mods?

Haha, see? I told you to ditch the normal map. It's not really needed for what you are doing. Well, not this version anyway. By the way, looks like you need to connect the bits of your font together there. You might want to try switching between upper case and lower case, as usually those Star Wars fonts have provision for extension pieces to link letters. It should look something like this:

Glad to hear it.

Run TSLPatcher. It will ask you for the location of the game. If you are using TSLRCM (or TSLRCM + M4-78 combo) from the Workshop, you'll need to use that as the installation location. If you are using the standalone Workshop version of M4-78, you need to use that instead. If you are using any other Workshop mod that alters 2DA files, you are probably screwed. Locations: Base game folder - <Steam or SteamLibrary>\steamapps\common\Knights of the Old Republic II TSLRCM (English) Workshop folder - <Steam or SteamLibrary>\steamapps\workshop\content\208580\485537937 TSLRCM + M4-78EP combo (English) Workshop folder - <Steam or SteamLibrary>\steamapps\workshop\content\208580\1402798020 M4-78EP Workshop folder - <Steam or SteamLibrary>\steamapps\workshop\content\208580\485560877 By default the Steam root directory is usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam but substitute your location, or that of the Library if you are using one (Workshop items reside in the same Library as the parent game).

View File TOR Ports: Meetra Surik AKA Jedi Exile Female Player Head for K1 For those that crave an identity crisis, this mod adds the head model of the “Jedi Entity” AKA the Jedi Exile AKA Meetra Surik from The Old Republic MMO, ported to K1 as a selectable player head for female characters. 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.

I don't have any plans to make variants, no. People wanted the "canon" head and this is it, more or less. Although that said, the Kira head I released is the same head mesh (hence why I did it), so there's always that one.

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?

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.

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.....
