It's a good start, but it still needs work IMO: I might get around to it playing with it at some point, but it's low on the priority list.

A non-scarred/wounded version, yes.

No, not at the moment. There's no point without a suitable texture.

Unless you have a head matching the UV layout, no.

The left cheek has mirrored UVs in order to maximise pixel density, which is why that corner is cut off. head_human_caucasian_revan_m_d.7z

If you are volunteering to hand paint out the scars/wounds from the texture, then sure.

View File TOR Ports: Jaesa Willsaam Female Player Head for TSL This mod adds the head model of Sith Warrior companion Jaesa Willsaam from The Old Republic MMO as a selectable player head for female characters. 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 mesh is currently using skin weights and is fairly rigid. Possibly I may add a danglymesh version in a future update. The underside of the hair at the back of the neck is fairly bare. I may add some additional hair elements in a future update. Dark Side transitions are included, but they are relatively mild. I'm not a big fan of the zombie look. Installation: If you are using TSLRCM or the hybrid TSLRCM + M4-78 from the Steam Workshop, make sure to choose its Workshop folder as the installation location, not the main game folder.

OK, fixed. Redownload from the link posted above. Weirdly I got some odd bug with the danglymesh hair looking like the diffuse/ambient wasn't set at 1.0, even though they were. Had to go back and decompile the earlier version.

Ah, I never would have thought of that. I split the lips out as a separate smoothing group, but the mouthbox was presumably still sharing the same group as the rest of the face. I'll compile a fixed version of the model and test it out.

I'll play around with it, but it probably requires input from @bead-v and @ndix UR on what might be done.

I've tried recompiling it with both MDLEdit and MDLOps, but I'm getting some shading issues at the mouth corners not present in the original model. I've tried it with the original smoothing groups and creating new ones but the issue persists. The other thing I realised is that it's still not drag and drop for 3rd party texture mods anyway, due to the differences between portrait names and DS transitions in K1. You'll need to remove the leading 0 from the portrait filenames, and adjust both DS transition and portrait names to account for K1's DS transitions going D1, D2, D3, D. You can test out this version while I try and resolve the model issues - https://www.darthparametric.com/files/kotor/k1/[K1]_TSLs_PFHC05_Ported_To_K1.7z

I was talking purely about using 3rd party reskins. The head model needs to be recompiled for K1. You need to decide whether you want it to replace K1's PFHC05 or have a new designation.

The textures from that other mod would be compatible in layout, but would not be a case of simply dropping in the Override folder - at least assuming you wanted to leave the existing K1 heads intact. K1 already has a PFHC05, so unless you plan to replace that, you'd have to rename the TSL PFHC05 into something else, then rename the textures accordingly. Of course if you just want to outright replace K1's PFHC05 then that makes things simpler. Any TSL PFHC05 texture mod would be a straight drop-in override just like they would be in TSL.

TalkEd is part of TSLPatcher. That's required for what I was talking about. Like I said, read the manual.

100s of hours of modelling, mapping, texturing, rigging, setup, testing.

Those aren't ports, they are all new models. And it's not really practical to port TOR astromechs anyway because of the requirement of accommodating the KOTOR animations and rig layout.

Hah, ok, it's all my fault. I didn't bother actually looking at what was in the mod. Fixing it now, will upload a revised version shortly. Edit: OK @runtwolf, try redownloading it from the link above. It should work now. Apologies for the mixup. I'm not sure who I made the mod for originally, but it would have been in the no porting era, so it lacked the K1 portraits, but more importantly it didn't add any entries to portraits.2da, so it wouldn't appear as an option during character creation. I can only assume that it was for someone that was planning to change their appearance with KSE during an existing game.

Probably best to do it in Illustrator/Inkscape, convert it to outlines, then just drag the points around as needed.

So here's something interesting. Due to the way achievement data was stored by Steam, people were able to reverse-engineer exact player numbers for those games that had implemented achievements, approximately 13,000 games or just over half the games on Steam. Details are provided in this Ars Technica article - https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/07/steam-data-leak-reveals-precise-player-count-for-thousands-of-games/ TSL is listed as having 1,529,038 players, which is pretty damn impressive given some of the titles with similar numbers. Of course the game is often on sale for as low as $2.50, so I imagine it has been an impulse purchase for many people. Although as pointed out in the comments, this data is only since achievements were added, so anyone that bought the game on Steam but never played it after the Aspyr patch came out is not included, so the true figure of all owners is probably closer to 2 mil.

Ah, I knew it was something like that.

Yeah, my bad, I didn't really explain it well. You need to duplicate the original lines and modify as appropriate, which are stored in append.tlk. This, as the name suggests, is appended to dialog.tlk. Then the relevant dialogues or scripts (in this case) need to be pointed to the new modified strrefs. This is all explained in the readme PDF that comes with TSLPatcher.
