N-DReW25

Got a quick question about the mod itself here. How is Vrook's red robe not considered as porting.

Is this it- http://www.nexusmods.com/kotor2/mods/577/?

I played this mod up to Citadel Station and it was FANTASTIC. It made me actually do the puzzles on Peragus instead of destroying the consoles and it makes the atmosphere of the game better with better NPC's and animations and cutscenes but most importantly it removed the god awful random loot system. But for a Heavily modded lets play i'd still pick TSLRCM as it is compatible with most other mods but from what i've seen it is better than TSLRCM (At least from the Peragus to Citadel station parts).

You didn't use the proper texture name. Your texture's filename is "N_SithSoldier04" but you put "Sith_Soldier04" in the 2DA. You also only need to change the values in the racetex and texa columns.

 

I presume you are changing the appearance ID in the appropriate UTCs as well? You'll also need a save before entering the area you want to test in for the first time.

It Worked.Thanks so much to all of you and don't worry about the UTC bit I know what I'm doing with that.

That's apart of a skin pack called Final Touch (TSLRCM Compatibility unconfirmed)- http://www.nexusmods.com/kotor2/mods/429/?

You just need to change the racetex and texa column values.

Didn't work. But i'm probably doing something wrong here

appearence.2da.zip

I suggest you have a look at my post on 2da files. That should help you figure out how appearance.2da actually works so that you no longer have to blindly follow tutorials.

 

But to answer your question: You need to replace the texture used. Those are specified in the racetex and/or model*tex (where * is a letter from A to J) columns. So check the original Sith Soldier rows and in each texture field that has for example Sith_Soldier01 as the texture to be used, change it to Sith_Soldier04. That will tell your new apperance to use your new texture.

So I think I found what you mean but there is nothing in the texture feild. The first texture feild modela and texa have N_SithSoldier and the rest through to J have just ****. So do I still replace the **** with Sith_Soldier04

I guess you need to change the number "1" to "4" in references to the N_SithTrooper01 texture in your copied appearance.2da row.

By "References" are you referring to something in the appearance.2da because if you are I have no clue what your talking about. I have changed the label "Sith_Soldier_01" to "Sith_Soldier_04" and that didn't do anything.

I guess you need to change the number "1" to "4" in references to the N_SithTrooper01 texture in your copied appearance.2da row.

I am lost for what you meant at that point.

The texture name can be whatever you want. There's no hex editing involved, so no character limitations. Just make a new appearance.2da row that duplicates one of the existing Sith Soldier rows and change the texture to whatever you named yours.

Okay you lost me there. I made the duplicate of the Sith Soldier 1 row and I have a new texture called N_SithSoldier04.tga, so what do I do to make the duplicate Sith Soldier 1 show the new Sith Soldier 4 texture.

The Sith Soldier is a full body model, so its textures can be directly overriden via appearance.2da. Look at rows 28, 44, 261 in K1's appearance.2da and you'll see the 3 types all use the same model, they just specify different textures.

So if I can make a new Sith Soldier with a new texture using just the appearance.2da what values would I have to switch to get the right texture which I'll presume would have to be N_SithSoldier04.tga. 

You might want to check out the Brother Hood of Shadow Mod since that adds in the darth revan death cutscene in game (Mostly/Kinda)- http://www.nexusmods.com/kotor/mods/95/?

If all you want is the existing K1 twilek_m03 texture variant, it already has an entry in K1's heads.2da. Just add a new appearance.2da row that uses a normalhead value of 67.

Thanks for that though I apologize for being annoying but could you retype that tutorial again but using the Sith Trooper Model as I will be doing a mod that adds in a new type of Sith Soldier.

Okay this is going horrible. I made it up to model.bif but there is no little plus button so I can't expand it but the model.bif for Kotor 2 TSL is working but this mod is for K1.

Make a copy of the Twi'lek male head model

Where would find the Twi'lek male head model in kotor tool (I assume you mean the mdl or txi files).

So for an upcoming mod that I am making I need to make new Twi'lek's for the mod so it will obviously have an appearence.2da involved.

I have done some NPC's for example green female twi'lek Sith officers and orange male twi'lek Czerka and Sith Officers but I have found a cut blue male Twi'lek head texture that i'm interested in making it into an NPC

Problem is i'm having trouble making it with the texture I want. So I need someone to tell how to make a custom NPC with a custom texture like what I'm doing?

You would need to extract the k_pend_area01.ncs file from the end_m01aa_s.rim's Scripts, Compiled branch in KotOR Tool's RIMs section.

 

You'd also need DeNCS to decompile the script. Or we'll assume you DL the .nss file below:

 

k_pend_area01.nss

 

In it, you will find the following code (I've added the comments myself):

 

 

 

void sub4() {
	// stringGLOB_13 is the tag of the footlocker object, so the following code grabs that footlocker object.
	object object1 = GetObjectByTag(stringGLOB_13, 0);

	// Get the PC's starting class.
	int int1 = GetClassByPosition(1, GetFirstPC());
	if ((int1 == 2)) { // If Scoundrel, do this/
		CreateItemOnObject(stringGLOB_10, object1, 1);
		CreateItemOnObject(stringGLOB_11, object1, 1);
		CreateItemOnObject(stringGLOB_12, object1, 1);
	}
	else {
		if ((int1 == 1)) { // If Scout, do this.
			CreateItemOnObject(stringGLOB_7, object1, 1);
			CreateItemOnObject(stringGLOB_8, object1, 1);
			CreateItemOnObject(stringGLOB_9, object1, 1);
		}
		else {
			if ((int1 == 0)) { If Soldier, do this.
				CreateItemOnObject(stringGLOB_4, object1, 1);
				CreateItemOnObject(stringGLOB_5, object1, 1);
				CreateItemOnObject(stringGLOB_6, object1, 1);
			}
		}
	}

	// If you have any points in stealth, add this item.
	if (GetHasSkill(2, GetFirstPC())) {
		CreateItemOnObject(stringGLOB_14, object1, 1);
	}
}

 

 

 

You can either change what the strings mean (they're just before all of the functions in the file) or you can copy and modify these lines if you want to add more items here. After this, you compile and drop in the Override folder.

What do those values mean. So if I where to change the Endar Spire box so instead of spawning regular clothes it spawned custom clothing (Like the Custom Class Clothing mod FS made a while ago) unique to each class scoundrel/scout and soldier how could I do that.

I personally would like Widescreen support so I can stop downloading weird hacks from virus suspicious sites and doing weird hacks to get my game to run in 1080p and Controller Support.

Something I'd also like is Achievements as it gives people a reason to replay the game.

P.s. I can see why they were cut, their noise can get really annoying after a while.

They did a really horrible job of cutting them out as in the dantooine murder mystery sidequest you learn all about the Iriaz even though there not even in game which gets really confusing as the Jedi there lectures you about there being plenty of iriaz around even though they don't seem to exist. Personally the Iriaz just fix the sidequest as a whole.

Alderaan, for example. It is mentioned on Taris (in the Lower City, just on of the apartments).

And during the interrogation with saul karath on the leviathan.

If it's just skins with no custom models, I can either see if the same files Silveredge used as a base are in K2's files (allowing me to use the ones right from BoS:SR with no porting concerns) or use files from K2 as a base to make something approximate.

So Porting Models and Modules are strictly forbidden but skins aren't IF the model it skins are in the opposite game so does that mean porting a party member icon or armor skin from TSL into K1 is perfectly okay.

but if it's just skins, it's much easier to work with for KotOR 2

Noob question here but wouldn't that be porting.

I personally hope they add widescreen support and controller support.

Don't mean to sound like a jerk but I can't help it but feel you made her worse (Feels like i'm looking at a Star Wars the Clone Wars character).

How are you supposed to prove that?
