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).

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.

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.

I'm lazy like that. 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. Or preferably don't use the Workshop at all. A custom dancer outfit was added in v1.1. A patch has been provided for users of v1.0 to add this to their existing game. Only use it if you have v1.0.

Is it set to that for all users though? Might be worth summoning resident Mac devotee @CarthOnasty into this conversation for an alternative opinion.

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.

You should fire that lousy beta tester of yours for being so slow.

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.

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.

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.

The cracked exe is already available on DS - https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1320-kotor-editable-executable/

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.

The UV template is attached. This is how the sleeves are mapped: Gloves should be obvious in the top left corner. Nihilus_UV_Template.zip

If you'll forgive the necro, I spotted news of a new TIE Fighter total conversion for XWA in the works. Sounds like the beta is aiming for release some time early next year, so you might want to keep an eye out for it. Check out this guy's Youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/ange1uk/videos

Against my better judgement, working on another head port:
