  1. Oh yeah, I forgot about the stripper outfit. I never play female characters (or TSL), so it never occurred to me. I'll have to make a custom model for it.
  2. You ditched the open sphere and made it solid?
  3. c_holovandar and c_holododonna are the vanilla stunt models for those two scenes. My mod doesn't use the vanilla stunt models, it uses custom ones. Your install was broken because you didn't install the mod properly and thus Vandar wasn't using the custom stunt model, he was using the vanilla one. What you downloaded was my custom stunt models recompiled to use the vanilla stunt model names. Dodonna looked fine, but I figured if you screwed up one then chances are you'd screwed up both, so I included Dodonna's in there as well just in case.
  4. That's not a good thing. It means you screwed up. Guess it is rocket science after all. Of course not. Again, this is an inherent engine issue. It will never be fixable.
  5. Depends on how you merged in the zbyl2 mod, since you said you "manually" installed it. Edit: Here, try extracting this into your Override and see what happens. Alt_Stunt_Models.7z
  6. If you are using the old version of danii-ch's mod then that's probably your issue since you nuked the custom supermodels. The newest version of the mod uses module injection and is compatible out of the box. Check your Override folder for the presence of m12aa_c05.dlg/m12aa_c06.dlg. @zbyl2 should be shot for releasing a mod that hard overwrites a module and not updating it to use TSLPatcher. There's no clipping. What you are seeing is a lack of self-occlusion. The description clearly states that transparent meshes do not self-occlude in Odyssey and this results in artefacts.
  7. Did you read the instructions? Run the batch file, not the exe.

      Well they had no choice for Xbox at least. MS requires that all Series X/S games are backwards compatible with Xbone for the next 2 years. But that's really a non-issue. The game is capable of running better (although still pretty gimped) on Xbone S and PS4. Just like Red Dead Redemption 2. The problem was CDPR management pushing it out the door probably a year ahead of when it should have come out.

      I remember a dev report where they claimed Cyberpunk was barely out of alpha status in May 2019. Since then they were crunching up to 16h per day on 6 days a week. 

      Thats some serious mismanagement here. Glad they cut the game shorter than W3 to ensure quality  though. 

      Do you think there's a chance they will patch in those abandoned features like wall running & subway via later DLCs? Especially the subway/railway is a must in terms of immersion,  to be able to have some sightseeing at sections above ground.

      The demo we saw at the end of 2018 was absolutely a vertical slice, not an actual game. So my position has always been that the game as released was only in development for around 2 years, at most. That means the original April release date was an outright lie that was never realistic/never intended to be hit. It's very much a repeat of the Anthem situation, where the game languished in pre-production for half a decade without achieving much. And like Anthem, I expect we'll get an exposé from Schreier revealing some of the gory details in due course (he apparently already has some sources and is soliciting for more).

      As to future changes through updates or DLC, who knows. However, I would be very surprised if, mechanically speaking, the game changed significantly given all the other problems it has, so don't hold your breath for stuff like train rides. Wall running may be a possibility, but I'd put it low on the likelihood list. That's one of the things that likely never actually existed outside the vertical slice. There are some things that are actual cut features though that still have remnants in the game files. Stuff like cloaking/invisibility cyberware (similar to Deus Ex), which is actually used by at least one enemy in the game but was originally also available for the player. Other things that might pop up in DLC would be decorating V's apartment, getting a new/upgraded apartment (apparently there is one upstairs in the megabuilding you can reach with the double-jump cyberware). An expanded crafting/upgrade system seems likely, since this is the sort of thing TW3 did with its expansions.

      Everything is really up in the air at this point. The current state of the game and the time/resources required to fix it, plus how much of a knock-on effect that has with the multiplayer spin-off they are also supposed to be launching in a year, have probably put a crimp in whatever original plans management may have had. They are probably also in a bit of a bind logistically, because normally by this point post-launch DLC would already be well into production, since you need to keep your team occupied once they finish up their work on the main game (unless you just sack them all, as is common industry practice). But they probably have a lot of heavyweights, especially programmers, tied up working on patches that normally would have been cycled out by now. That's not only going to slow the whole DLC pipeline, it probably also means curbing any radical ambitions so as not to create any new problems. I would not be surprised if they actually end up scrapping some/most of their original DLC plans. They originally said to expect more than TW3, so presumably at least 3 expansions, but maybe they will decide to just cut their losses. But as I said, who knows at this point.

  8. Someone that uses Twitter send a Tweet to Cat Taber and see what she says about a deepfake Mission romance mod.
  9. JC already submitted an issue for it - https://github.com/KOTORCommunityPatches/TSL_Community_Patch/issues/58
  10. Yes. As it says, it just can't be uncompressed - i.e. you need to save it with either DXT1 or DXT5 compression (has no alpha / has an alpha, respectively).
  11. That's only enabled when using the "Use TXI text for all TGA". You can either type, paste, or load the TXI text into the window. In the default state ("Use TXI file for each TGA"), it will automatically load any TXI that is named the same as its parent TGA and in the same directory. Typically you'd normally use the default mode, unless you are batch processing a bunch of textures that all use the same TXI semantics.
  12. View File TOR Ports: Pureblood Sith Female Player Head for K1 This mod adds a Pureblood Sith head and underwear model from The Old Republic MMO, ported to K1 as a selectable player head for female characters. A few notes: A unique underwear model is included, but because of the different way TOR and KOTOR mate heads to bodies, I had to add a neck stump to the torso to elevate the head to the right height. That makes for a pretty nasty transition at the seam line, but it should mostly only be visible in dialogue. Try not to have too many conversations while naked I guess. By default, the underwear is a sports bra and panties. For those wanting something a little more chaste, there’s an alternative modesty patch that provides a pair of shorts/hot pants instead. After running this installer, simply copy and paste the TPCs from the OPTIONAL folder to your Override folder, overwriting when prompted. Odyssey’s lack of proper specularity, much less the advanced (by comparison) graphical features of TOR, means you should expect that the textures will look pretty flat in KOTOR compared to how the originals look in TOR. KOTOR has a maximum bone limit per mesh of 17. 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, but probably nothing significant for mute player characters. Differences between how TOR and KOTOR handle animations mean that some of the bone weights are probably too strong, so expect some bad deformation occasionally. Especially when the game uses stunt animations in certain cutscenes. An example of this is the opening cutscene on the Endar Spire, where the eyelashes and eyebrows get a bit carried away. If you notice anything particularly egregious, post a comment with some notes of the specifics and a screenshot/video and I'll see if it can be mitigated. Dark Side transitions are included, but they are relatively mild. I'm not a big fan of the zombie look.

  16. Is it set to that for all users though? Might be worth summoning resident Mac devotee @CarthOnasty into this conversation for an alternative opinion.
  17. The screenshots would suggest it reuses the textures already included in the base game archive.
  18. It's possible it is set to read-only. In Finder (?) right click on the TLK -> Get Info -> Sharing and Permissions and see what that says.
  19. You should fire that lousy beta tester of yours for being so slow.
  20. Initial port of the TSL version: Guess I'll have to do some TSL portraits as well, bleh. Edit: So I have fixed an issue in TSL with the prologue where the unconscious player had mangled eyelids with the eyeballs clipping through. Added an interposed supermodel with a tweaked dead3 animation to resolve it. Unfortunately there's a similar thing at the start of K1, but that's a tougher nut to crack because that scene uses stunt animations. While I could add some custom anims for that scene, there's no way I can restrict it to only the Pureblood appearance due to a lack of appropriately granular scripting functions. The best I could do would be to restrict it to non-vanilla female appearance rows, but that would mean it would affect any custom female player heads in that scene. Plus it would require editing that opening DLG, which is far too intrusive for my liking, so I'll probably have to leave it as-is. Edit 2: Now available. Figured I should get this out by Cyberpunk Eve lest it get pushed back to 2021.

  21. Well I can't offer any input on the whole "correct/incorrect" debate. I'm just a pleb who is completely ignorant of programming. I was just observing that it's not particularly surprising that a fan made tool derived from reverse-engineering Bioware's compiler for a different game that has undergone multiple revisions by different people has a few quirks.
  22. Anything is possible, although I question the sanity of anyone actually wanting it. You'd pretty much just take a regular saber, add some subdivisions to the blade planes, add a solid rod down the middle with matching subdivisions, then just shuffle some rows of verts side to side to get the zig zag effect. If you wanted to keep it as a saber you'd also need to change the default scale of the central rod and add keyframes for it to the on/off anims. Texture-wise you could try a more star shaped blade plane texture to try and get a more wavy edge like the picture, but I don't know how that would turn out.
  23. The cracked exe is already available on DS - https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1320-kotor-editable-executable/
  24. The same as illustrated above. Load the model in a 3D program. Max/GMax is the go-to for KOTOR using the KOTORMax import/export script. GMax is an ancient free version of Max that is crippleware but mostly gets the job done. It doesn't have the ability to directly export UV layouts to an image like Max, but there are ways around that.
