You didn't get your XP VM set up? nm33aayuth21188_.lip

The bone limit per-mesh is actually 17, but I think MDLEdit still gives a warning at past 16 (fixing it was on bead-v's to-do list). But yeah, that's the reason KOTOR splits out hands/arms from the torso. It also means you can't put use all the face bones on a head unless you cut it in half.

Except for 401DXN (Dxun landing site) and 702KOR (Korriban academy), which directly overwrites the vanilla RIMs.

Yeah that's fine, that's why I posted them. Just add a credit in the description/readme.

There is no available interaction for it in the vanilla game, no. K1CP changed it to a non-interactive/static object for this reason. It would be possible to create a mod to destroy it, but it's such an insignificant thing I doubt anyone has bothered.

Yeah, it's no longer recommended for modded file installation, but I'm not sure it is entirely superseded for mod creation. But as I said, it has been a while since I had much to do with any ME modding, and even back then my efforts were mostly focused on pulling stuff out rather than putting stuff back in.

It has been a few years since I messed around with ME modding. I think ME3Explorer is no longer the primary toolset, but that's the one I recall using. Despite the name it works for all three games (mostly). There is a sound tool in there, but I never messed with it. You probably want to check out the forum and wiki for it.

What I posted was a modder's resource, not something for endusers. It was for other people to make mods with, not a mod in itself.

Nobody can give you an answer. This is the "how long is a piece of string?" of modding. The time required is entirely contingent on the specifics of what you want to do, your relevant skills/proficiencies, and how much free time you have to devote to it. Maybe you could do it in a week, maybe you'd still be working on it in a decade. If you want collaboration then there is no reason not to lay out what it is you have in mind. Then people might actually be able to give you some informed opinion on how feasible what you want to do is, and what sort of effort would be required. But right off the bat, the fact that you think it requires a team means the likelihood of it ever seeing the light of day is low.

You can extract the VHD image from the official XP Mode exe which should be permanently activated (volume license presumably). You should be able to install that with VirtualBox or VMWare Player. Btw, you didn't do what I asked. Lucky for you it was only a single line. NM35AABAST06467.lip

Lip creation requires the audio. Read the tutorial for it and provide everything needed if you want someone else to generate them. You could also consider a Win 7 VM, which would allow you to do it yourself.

It's a K1R problem. K1CP only fixes vanilla issues.

There's still a few decades before that comes out, plenty of time.

No, it's just the hex for -1.

I want to replace all three of the swords, so I need to figure out some ideas for the others. I have a vague idea for one based on one of the other TOR swords, probably the vibrosword since it's the only one that doesn't describe the specific shape. It is supposed to glow though, which I'm not sure is practical.

It's already using mycube in the above pics. CM_SpecMap seems like it works a bit better with the existing envmap mask. The normal map is mostly pointless because the primary areas where it is needed don't have enough exposure through the envmap mask.

So I was browsing the TOR subreddit the other day and there was one of those show-off posts where someone posted pics of their various outfits throughout their character's story progression. The thing that really caught me eye was the sword used in one of them. It was new to me, but apparently it was added to the game two years ago - the Ancient Sith Lord's Warblade. I figured it looked pretty cool and might be worth porting, maybe for use as Ajunta Pall's sword, since that is described as having an ebony blade. I did do an initial port of it, but then I realised that the description also mentions that the blade edges are notched. I had a look through the other weapon models to see if they had something like that. There aren't any swords, but the retractable blade from the Zakuulan Exile's blaster (which I made my own version of, back before ports were allowed) looked like it might work. I took that as a starting point, reshaped it into a sword blade and remapped it to fit the Warblade's texture. Then I swiped a hilt and crossguard from one of the other sword models, lopped a few bits off and changed the texture a bit. And here's the result: Still need to do some tweaking of the textures, and of course the envmap is a nightmare as always. Also in hindsight I think I should have duplicated the lower half of the blade instead of stretching it, so that the scallops were more numerous and more pronounced, since it looks more wavy that notched. Not sure if I really want to more or less remake the blade from scratch though.

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.
