    Seems like the ultimate version will require an animation adjustment. Here's a slow-mo showing the first instance of the hood clipping into the wall during animation CUT001W: https://www.darthparametric.com/images/TSL_Kreas_Fall_Wall_Clip_01.gif I think the hood will have to either be fully folded down, and stay down, or it will have to remain fully up. I don't think it is practical to keep it half down and have it come back up again and not have it clip (not without vertex animation anyway).

    P_Kreia1hBB is, as both the model name and "gimped" description suggest, 1-handed. It's also the regular party Kreia (post Harbinger hand-chop), not the Dark Side "evil" Kreia. The "stunt" Kreia is the one you meet in the morgue, and has the animations for getting off the bed. The DS Kreia you confront on Malachor is Party_NPC_Kreia_Evil, using model P_KreiaEvilBB. This is of course 1-handed, and is the model you see in your video. The 2-handed evil Kreia model is P_KreiaEvil02, but that has no appearance.2da entry. This is the model that has the "Kreia's Fall" cutscene animations. I had a look at the dialogue file for that scene (kreiaend.dlg) and it references P_KreiaEvil02 as the stunt model, which explains how the 1-handed Kreia received the animations in your video. The script that is fired by that dialogue (a_kreiaend) calls one of two Kriea UTCs (which share the same tag, "KreiaEvil"), both of which point to the 1-handed evil Kreia appearance ID (naturally, since the only other evil appearance is the one with no hands - as mentioned, there is no 2-handed evil Kreia appearance). Given the issue with the hood lining, as pointed out by Hassat Hunter here, the logical solution is a revised 2-handed model renamed to override the 1-handed model. This would simply require dumping the files in your Override folder long enough to cap the scene, with no other changes. I'll whip one up and PM you about it.

    Yeah there's no interior lining to the hood, so when it is folded back the backfaces of the outer side are culled by the engine. It's not a super difficult thing to fix for that shot. Edit: Actually, it seems like the problem is that the hood is clipping into the wall. I guess the animation needs tweaking.

    This starman is heading off tomorrow on what should be an eventful trip, one way or the other - https://imgur.com/a/3ZPQm

      I will admit I'm a bit surprised that they didn't play Space Oddity then... :)

      I think Musk mentioned it at one point. I'm not sure if they played it during the 4 hour stream from the roadster (didn't watch that). Of course there may also have been licensing issues.

      That makes sense. Still pretty cool they actually played a bowie song!

    I'm curious how it even worked with the one handed Kreia model. The cutscene animations are on the two handed model. Are they also available as room animations? Regardless, it should be an easy enough fix to swap them for the purpose of re-capping the cutscene, either via an appearance.2da edit or a model override.
  6. DarthParametric
    I am already aware of the Republic trooper, as indicated in the description. There will be a partial fix for it in the next version. I'll have to look into the Dxun holo, assuming that it is a vanilla issue. Dealing with NPC Overhaul seems likely to be too much of a pain in the ass to bother with. I'm more likely to leave it up to the enduser to pick between one or the other.

    Only Silveredge9 could do that (or a mod/admin), but the prefereable approach would be for Silveredge9 to just incorporate my additions in an update to the original mod. But with a single post in 2016 and a last login date of January 2017, that seems like a long shot. The best I could do would be to release it formally and post the link in a comment on Silveredge9's mod. Wasn't my idea, I just did the legwork. Post a request in the request forum. Although don't expect to be inundated with responses (not ones offering to do the work at any rate). If you are talking Bandon then I gather you want something for K1. Not sure about that, but there are a few existing options for TSL: http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/486-tor-armored-robes/ http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/246-armored-robes-for-jal-shey-armors/ http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/64-movie-style-jedi-master-robes/ http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/62-daks-armored-robes-22/ http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/137-darth-darkus-armored-robes/ http://deadlystream.com/forum/topic/4676-heavy-armored-master-robes/

    What is the specific issue?
  9. DarthParametric
    You kept Silveredge9's appearance.2da I gather? It wouldn't have patched out the head reference (it was based on patching a vanilla row). It's an easy enough fix, I just need to update the installer to overwrite every cell in the row. Edit: Here, run this one, that should resolve it hopefully - https://www.darthparametric.com/files/kotor/k1/[K1]_Patch_for_Silveredge9's_Ajunta_Pall_Unique_Appearance_v1.1.7z
  10. DarthParametric
    You can try this: It requires the non-transparent textures from Silveredge9's mod, but nothing else (so delete the NCS, DLG, and UTC from his mod, if they are in your Override). It uses a full body model with a reorganised hierarchy, much like the hologram fixes I did for TSL. I made some edits to the meshes to hopefully minimise any rendering issues. It uses mesh-based alpha, as with my example up above. I went with a value of 0.5, but that can be adjusted if necessary.
  11. DarthParametric
    I nominate ndix UR and bead-v for their MDLOps/MDLEdit/KOTORMax work. It seems unfair to pick one over the other though, since they collaborated on all the gubbins under the hood of their respective endeavours. They really deserve some sort of joint award.
  12. DarthParametric
    Whoops, missed that part. In that case, it's just a matter of adding unique appearance.2da rows and patching the relevant UTIs in each module to point to them. But yeah, the pool of available heads is pretty small. That's probably part of why Bioware went with the masked approach in the first place. Another possibility might be using the Dark Jedi body in combo with some of the full face masks to mix things up a bit.
  13. DarthParametric
    The issue with the Dark Jedi is that they are a full body model, i.e. the head is integrated into the body model, not separate like with players and most NPCs. Additionally, the hood/head can't simply be removed because that leaves a giant hole in the upper torso. You can scoop out the face mesh and slot in a regular head (with a bit of tweaking to the hood to hide any gaps), but animation sync issues mean you'd have to create each variation as a full body model. It's not a case of something as simple as a few appearance.2da edits, which is presumably why we are not overburdened with examples of such mods. Edit: Here's a proof of concept of a head swap. They are still all clones because it was a quick and dirty override, but you get the idea.

    After multiple reloads testing the Taris Upper City South medical center, I finally realised that Zelka Forn has the same voice actor as G0-T0 in TSL (and SWTOR Bounty Hunter companion Gault Rennow)

      He's also Colonel Darok in SWTOR as well. (Kristoiffer Tabori plays a few other roles besides HK's in TOR)

      Oh and Chunk in Vampire Bloodlines. Perhaps his best role of all time.

      heh. I love coming across characters with voices from other SW media. The one that I have the most fun with is when it's the guy that did Dooku's voice in CW. I always respond with "Yes Dooku."

    It's compatible, that mod will just alter the tank texture (not for the better IMO, but to each their own).
  17. DarthParametric
    You must still be using an older version of the mod if you are seeing that.
  18. DarthParametric
    LAA patching is unlikely to achieve anything. The game was originally designed to run on cut-down Pentium III Celeron with 64MB of pooled RAM after all. On a PC, most of the added overhead is probably handled directly by the GPU and its dedicated VRAM. You won't be able to patch the EXEs of the Steam versions given their DRM, so it is kind of moot in those instances. I'm not sure whether the GOG versions already included it, but there would be no harm in patching those.
  19. DarthParametric
    The latest 1.2 update of the mod resolves the problem by not using placeables at all, but it is not compatible with older versions of the mod (and requires a pre-Upper City South save).
  20. DarthParametric
    Assuming you are using the 1.0/1.1 version of this mod, that looks like the placeables.2da issue - http://deadlystream.com/forum/topic/6017-kotor1-placeable-limit/
  21. DarthParametric
    In that instance you could presumably at least cap a new video and sync the audio to it manually so that at least it is in 1080 (or higher).
  22. DarthParametric
    Just a referrer spoof I imagine? Should also be able to achieve the same thing with a custom referrer addon/script.
  23. DarthParametric
    What SFX? Can't pull them from the video?
  24. DarthParametric
    https://github.com/crosire/reshade They think the same as any other commercial entity. They don't do squat unless they are getting paid to do so. There's no financial incentive for them to bother with additional patches.
  25. DarthParametric
    No, it won't work with Reshade, or any other OpenGL override. The source for both is available though, so merging is always a possibility for those of the code monkey persuasion. It doesn't address the saber issue, no, but possibly it could if you knew which shader/s to edit (and how to edit them).
