You might want to look at this if you haven't already - https://deadlystream.com/topic/5992-tpc-compressed-texture-transparency-alpha-blending/

Yeah. Perhaps you could create some sort of parser to autodetect differences or something. At least they were pretty good about flagging changes in comments, prefixed by xxx-OEI. An example of functions with added variables: object CreateItemOnObject(string sItemTemplate, object oTarget=OBJECT_SELF, int nStackSize=1); vs object CreateItemOnObject(string sItemTemplate, object oTarget=OBJECT_SELF, int nStackSize=1, int nHideMessage = 0); And of course they added entirely new functions that don't exist in K1, for example GetScriptStringParameter (which is not a thing in K1).

Do you have a game version toggle then, since some shared functions differ between K1 and TSL? I'll be curious to see how that goes when dealing with scripts using differing values for a given variable with a single declaration, like in while loops and so forth.

In my experience, dynamic camera behaviour with moving NPCs is erratic. And you'd have to rely on dynamic cameras for such an idea to be practical, given that the banter scripts and DLGs are global, not module-specific.

Closing doors is pretty trivial. How you go about it though depends entirely on the specifics of when and how you want the door/s to be closed. Looks like those NPCs are from this mod? It may be possible to modify some of its scripts, depending on how it was implemented.

Since an edit of spells.2da is required, presumably not. You can get a modified version of Star Admiral's "Utility Armbands" mod via a (Mediafire) link in this thread, which has a K1 armband.

I suspect they did it for pretty much the reason I alluded to in the description. There can be issues trying to interact with objects surrounded by non-walkable terrain. Maybe it was worse on the Xbox/with a controller.

View File Black Vulkar Base Engine Lab Bench For Swoop Accelerator This mod makes a minor alteration to the Engine Lab room of the lower Black Vulkar base level to remove the Swoop Accelerator from the ground and put it on a bench. Said bench is moved from the other side of the room, where normally it impedes clear access to Kandon and his crew if the situation ends in combat. This has the side benefit of (hopefully) reducing pathing issues if the whole party tries to charge into melee combat. Additionally, several minor aesthetic fixes to the room are included. The cutting tools that normally have a static plasma (?) beam have been given some animation, and a number of pipes that had missing backfaces causing geometry culling issues have had those added. These fixes are also incorporated into the K1 Community Patch as of v1.9, so it is fully compatible with that as long as you install this mod afterwards. Installation Instructions The mod requires a GIT edit to reposition the accelerator (i.e. uses TSLPatcher), so simply run the installer. Known Issues There may some pathing issues if you try to loot the accelerator from certain angles. I've positioned it close to the front edge of the bench to minimise this from the most likely (direct) approach, but coming from the sides of the bench, especially towards the back wall end, may not work as desired.

It's just pulling the alpha masks presumably.

They are either side of the back door as you re-enter.

It's actually typically less screwing around to just kill an NPC than to have them fake it. As to your script, you are checking for script parameters. Have you set those accordingly in the appropriate DLG nodes?

How you kill an NPC depends on what the scene dictates. If there is a direct attack, either melee or ranged, then you can typically just have them engage in actual combat with the aid of some assured hits. If you want a display of Force powers, then you'll probably want to go the EffectDeath route prefaced with one or more uses of ActionCastFakeSpellAtObject, assuming you want someone to be shown actually using the power. In the Kreia case she's just doing the "too cool to look at the explosion" routine, so the mooks presumably just play the choking or whatever animation.

Well there is no "Jedi" restriction as such, just class restrictions for Guardian/Sentinal/Consular. Going the feat route as ebmar suggested would achieve the same end result, but it's not really thematically the same. I assume fluff is what you're after, since there seems little other reason to bother. In that case you could possibly create a fake Jedi restriction item property that just uses the feat restriction under the hood.

View File Workbench Upgrade Screen Camera Tweak for TSL This is a simple edit of the camera model for the workbench upgrade screen that alters some of the camera angles/positions to zoom in a bit closer to lightsabers, so you can get a better look at the models when running the game at higher resolutions. Obsidian already adjusted the UI to provide bigger previews of other upgradeable objects, so only the sabers are adjusted for this version. Since the model preview window is a little narrower than in widescreen modded K1, all three hilt types have been rotated 45° to maximise the available space. Mostly intended for those using modded weapons. A version for K1 is available here. Installation Instructions Simply drop the MDL/MDX in your Override folder. Known Issues Only tested at 1080p. Results may vary at other resolutions/aspect ratios. Modded weapons that are excessively large will likely go off-screen, but they probably do that already.

You can do it directly in MDLEdit, or decompile it to an ASCII, edit it in a text editor to change the name, then recompile. Alternatively, you can hex edit the model and do an ASCII string find and replace, but you'll want to keep the same number of characters for the filename going that route.

You can still get the original version (blue) from my site for both K1 and TSL.
