    Lip sync is fairly trivial to generate once you know how to do it, it's just extremely laborious and clunky because of the archaic toolchain required. This tutorial should give you the gist of it. Although it's a bit outdated now. Grab this version of CSLU Toolkit from DS. There's also this alternative option, but I've never tried it myself.

    I had a quick play with using stencils in Blender. It's a bit fiddly due to the UV distortion, but with a bit of trial and error I think you could get it pretty close. It might be easier to do the arrow head and the line as two separate stencils. Here's a video that covers the basics of using stencils - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urUdMbO4E2c&t=155s Edit: OK, I played around with it some more. Try these on for size: Game-ready textures, source masks, and Blender file attached: Malak Airbender_Source.7z

    Note that you'll need to edit the second Jedi Malak head texture variant for the jawless Malak scene. Naturally that has a completely different UV layout to the regular Malak head.

    Given Bioware's traditionally terrible UV layouts, you'd be best served trying to do it in something where you can paint directly on the mesh rather than trying to edit the texture in PS or the like. I think Blender might let you do it, and you can import the game models directly via KBlender.

    Ah, killing Lorgal for the Genoharadan quest. I forgot all about that. The UTP is set to animation state 3, which I gather is "dead" (placeables and creatures both use the same die and dead anim names).
  6. DarthParametric
    Placeable sitters use the regular N_Rodian model, so as long as one of Stormie's model additions replaces that then no further action is required. As to corpses, I don't think there are any placeable Rodian corpses, are there? The only alien ones are Twi'leks and Wookiees as far as I know. Anything else is presumably just a regular UTC with a spawn dead OnSpawn script. So that should work seamlessly with the vanilla appearance row replacements.

    The version hosted here is outdated by multiple revisions. You can grab the most recent 3.3.8 (stable) or 3.3.8.1 (test/beta) releases from the KSE repository on Gitlab: 3.3.8 / 3.3.8.1
  8. DarthParametric
    Are they single full body models like the vanilla Rodians, or do they have provision for armour?
  9. DarthParametric
    Chances are nobody is going to volunteer, but you might improve your chances if you provide some actual useful detail. List all the problems that occur.
  10. DarthParametric
    Install NPC Overhaul first and it should probably be fine.
  11. DarthParametric
    I wonder if you should swap the clothing for the last two. The current arrangement doesn't seem to have enough contrast with the skin colour.
  12. DarthParametric
    Just editing the 2DA by itself won't work. The associated UTPs would also need to be edited to point to the new row IDs.
  13. DarthParametric
    Yes, since placeables.2da has a number of unused vanilla rows you could manually edit it and reassign this mod's placeables to those rows. Since your 2DA is borked anyway you'd want to start with a fresh install, so you could just edit the mod's changes.ini to switch it from adding new rows to editing existing rows. Rows 47, 62, 78, 90, 94, 97, 115 all have no models assigned and so can be replaced. Rows 8 and 9 are probably also ok to replace.
  14. DarthParametric
    It's a custom stunt animation. Regardless, you can't add new anims to the supermodels. Well you can, but new names won''t be recognised, so the only option is to hijack an existing anim. Supermodels are for generic/dynamic anims, not specific cutscene anims.
  15. DarthParametric
    Don't use the TSLPatcher.exe from there or that will break some modules due to the filename bug (same bug ERFEdit had at one point). Use the exe included with K1CP instead. Although at a quick glance there shouldn't be any problem with 702KOR specifically. Also note that if you want to compatibility for M4-78, they replace the Academy with a whole other module (703KOR I believe?), so that will require a separate patch.
  16. DarthParametric
    The texture is PLC_map01. There is no "glass", not unless you are using a modified version of the placeable (PLC_EndS.mdl/mdx). The vanilla placeable is just a simple double-sided plane using self-illum and a tiny bit of mesh alpha with a texture that has an alpha mask and the blending additive TXI semantic.
  17. DarthParametric
    You could leave it on the human rig and just do a local talk override animation to get a suitable amount of snout movement. How much does the vanilla one move anyway?
  18. DarthParametric
    I assume you are going to swap to the standard human rig? Doesn't seem to have the giant-sized hands of the KOTOR model.
  19. DarthParametric
    Well you're the one that has decide that, since you made the request. But from my own perspective it looks fine to me. It's not something I have ever noticed in-game personally, although I don't use those sorts of reskins as a general rule, so I don't know how obvious it is with the vanilla texture.
  20. DarthParametric
    Given how uniform it is, I would suggest that was a deliberate choice.

    So I created a thing:

    https://github.com/DarthParametric/KOTOR_Registry_Install_Path_Editor/releases/latest

    Screenshot.png.cbd779b3e245e0448813f6ef8f295e86.png

    Hopefully it should help with those struggling with install path registry edits. Simply download the CMD file and double-click it to run it. Alternatively, you may need to right-click on it and choose Run As Administrator. The script will scan the registry looking for any install info for the CD, GOG, and Steam versions of both games. If it finds them it will display the listed install path currently stored in the registry. You can choose to edit the CD version's key using the install path of either the GOG or Steam versions (assuming they exist on your system), or create the CD registry key with that info if it doesn't already exist.

    If anyone has an alternative version of either game, say from Origin or some other store, I'd be interested in finding out what registry keys those versions use so I can add them to the script.

      Very nice!

    It's very much not recommended for people to be using in-progress builds, and the repo is deliberately set up to prevent you simply downloading it directly as an archive as a safeguard against doing so. If you insist on it however, then you'll need to learn how to use Git to clone a repository locally: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/cloning-a-repository We do not offer support for this, so if you have questions you'll need to Google it.
  24. DarthParametric
    TSLPatcher's registry lookup only works for the registry keys of the CD versions of the games. Look at the threads about adding those keys for KTool for how to add them. For example here. In the [Settings] section at the top of changes.ini you need to set LookupGameFolder=1 to enable a registry lookup and then either LookupGameNumber=1 for K1 or LookupGameNumber=2 for TSL.
  25. DarthParametric
    That is the Aspyr version. Roll back to the prior unmolested version. Not sure if/how you do that if you are using Galaxy. Check the official GOG forum.
