View File [TSL] Animated Computer Panel This mod replaces the static computer panel placeables [PLC_comPanel] that found throughout the game; such as one in the Bumani's, Medical Unit, and Czerka's [on Telos] with the animated ones. -= BACKGROUND =- It was Sith Holocron's request about his least favorite texture in KotOR2/TSL that makes me work on this mod. But as time goes by curiosity on trying to improve it haunts me, by doing more and looking much better -- hence the born of v2.0.0. On this [as well as the previous one] I have him to help on making the panel screen, hence the sweet result of a movie-like looking ones. You should check out his blog from where the inspiration comes -- And then with DarthParametric's handy-hands the panel now have a new symmetrical frame, some 3D buttons, also few TOR-ported bits on the screen. Not stopping there, it now have a new panel board decals -- a copied work from Frank Diorio's downloadable decals [then niubniubsuniverse-dot-com]. -= ABOUT THIS MOD =- Inside this mod are 2 version; transparent screen and a solid-non-transparent version. Preview: Transparent Solid Specifics: New panel frame trimesh made by @DarthParametric New 3D buttons trimesh made by DarthParametric Panel screen bitmap made by @Sith Holocron Panel board bitmap made by Frank Diorio TOR ported animated bits redistributed by DarthParametric Tools mostly worked on to -- KOTORmax [gmax] by bead-v / Aurora MDL [N++] by Symmetric The panel texture currently still in vanilla scheme [based on stock PLC_comPanel], albeit upscaled to x1024 from x256 using PS'. -= KNOWN ISSUES =- With transparent version, some objects will become invisible behind the screen; such as traffics seen from Medical Unit and lightsaber as well with the hilt. There's a workaround for the traffics, but that's beyond the scope of this mod so they're something to live with at the moment. Nothing that I know of though for the lightsabers. -= FINAL REMARKS =- There's always room for improvements; reviews, critiques, comments, suggestions, questions and feedbacks are much appreciated. PM me here, write them on my feed or leave any on the mod's page as you please. And thank you! for downloading, and using this mod.

Cool- here's the source that you can work with: I was thinking about adding something to that hanging plate below the panel but, I'm not sure. Maybe in this case the lesser the better, and I personally like the way as-is right now. 🤔

Thanks! Appreciate it. Nope. I don't have the required skills to animate it lol.

Sure thing. This is an in-game preview of the end-result from my attempt: The texture now sized at 1024x1024, whilst the former is 512x512 [vanilla is 256x256]. No significant change to the structure, only defining the buttons on the panel and adding Cubemaps to the circle panel and the monitor. The HUD shown in the monitor is not my work. I grabbed it from Free HUD Vector Elements, and only take part what is needed.

I'm sensing OT --> PT legacy here- hahah! Looking very forwards to this project, DV!

I'll take a crack with the inanimated version. Keep your expectations low; I'm no Jorak Uln or XediiXarwarz lol. 😵 WIP: I'm getting it to 512x512 with slight enhanced details, whilst the vanilla version is 256x256; but still digging with ideas for the monitor part- which I don't have the experience on lol

If I catch what you mean then you should seek no further. This amazing tutorial by Canderis pretty much covered that area.

It looks good, and it fits my preferences for a texture; didn't look too crisp which sometimes made some texture looks too clean and lose some details, the way I see them. Definitely diggin' this one rather than the former.

Thank you for the feedback! So, does it mean it is safe for my general playthrough that it had been set to 1 now? 🤔 Edit: I have play-tested it with Canderous carrying his RB and everything seems to be fine so; move along.

Big chance that I am late to the party too lol- this is the first time I see it and took me 4 images to understand. 😵 Anyway, in case you missed it, there is this one too- among them: Original: Rotating:

Greetings, Sithspecter! Hope you're doing fine. I have just downloaded the Demo, and as I tried to make it compatible with my current playthrough's installation using the TSLPatcher, I found that its baseitems.2da tried to mod RowIndex 24 which is the Heavy_Repeating_Blaster by changing powereditem value to 1. What does it means if you don't mind to elaborate? Other than that, the installation went a success as seen in the screenshot below; the module works fine, and I am so excited with the prospect of this amazing project. Many thanks for considering this.

Ah yes, I just checked the setup inside its change.ini and it appears the UTI to be assigned to a new baseitems.2da row [DP_Revan_Robes_F], what I have looked before is the default UTI which unpatched. Thanks for the heads-up! This game is doomed if their being restrictive to its appearance.2da lol.

Yup, DP already pointed to me this method before. But I believe this method wouldn't be practical point to the fact the differences between the original robe model with the cloaked robe model is huge. And between the Revan's hoodless and the hooded version, inside their UTI they can be easily share the same Base Item which is (Revan_Armor). Same thing couldn't be implemented with cloaked model vs original robe model. Edit: My bad, inside the Hoodless UTI it is using "Plot Useable Items", which its existence is out of my knowledge. 🙏 Damn right.

Hahahah yeah I've been thinking of removing the Class 4 slots lol. But nah, there are too much cool stuffs there. 😁 So the council will use different cloak model then? Cool!

With the "Legends" series; yes. I could have make Belaya use a cloaked Jedi robe now thanks to JCarter426 wonderful resource, but with the Three-tiered Dark Jedi Robe it seems not possible at least I transferred the texture to the new map which compliment the cloaked model. Edit: If what you mean by "use the new Dark Jedi robes included in your modification" is using the original Dark Jedi robe to those NPCs in Dreshdae's I think that could be just possible. 🤔 The new cloaked model opens-up tons of exciting possibilities, really- particularly with the variation of NPCs. The only obstacle would be if modders decided to put it to gameplay aspects for example; making Nemo dropped his cloaked robe inside the ruins while the playthrough running the vanilla model installation, that wouldn't be possible. Again, it's an obstacle; not a minus point. Everything that this new cloaked model does is amazing.

Still, an awesome attempt though! And many thanks; for having it shared with us in the end. Cool, I have seen the result and it was sleek. 😁 Dang, I'm still thinking how to get around the model restriction I mean; is there one type of model that is not used in the game, which it can be replaced by a new type of model? For example- we can replace it with the cloaked model so the original model is not replaced and then we can have this sort of variation between cloak and the uncloak. Even when going with the extreme way which is using the disguise feature, it wouldn't be a success because we had no option with the Base Item value inside its UTI. 🤔 Update: It's not too difficult for the NPCs, as seen in the screenshot: -as they can use custom model assigned to their 2DA, but I'm thinking about the player or maybe some variation with custom items like at some points we can acquire a custom robe which its base using the cloaked model, while the player is using the original model.

I am interested with the character development particularly in designing-texturing [using the available materials 😁] either their faces or clothing. So, I'm definitely having my eyes on this one.

Nice! Could use this as a reference; more or less these results are what have comes in my mind regarding the blending attempt. Thanks for the information! Ah-ha! I remember you have that posted on your updates while ago, and I thought that was it which was released. 😁 I am looking very forwards for the hybrid version to came out too [and its resource in particular]!

Hello, Salk! Hahah yeah I have figured it out since JCarter426 provides the mod resource, at some point I could start working on a compatibility because there's no chance for both of these mods to have them paired at its current state [they both share the uses of the same model which is PFBIx - PMBIx]. The most realistic way is for the original Jedi robe [K1] to adapt to the new cloaked model [TSL] and not the other way around. Actually I'm not sure if that is going to end-well when both robes are combined/blended since they are so different in their basis but- we'll see. 😁

With my past modded-playthrough [currently I'm running an 80% vanilla texture PT particularly with Tatooine's decorations], I have been using the fan favorite's- multiple's "Old Republic Skin Overhaul - Tatooine v1.0" for both the interior and the exterior of this [the way I see it] amazing planet. Apologize that for now I can't provide an actual in-game screenshots from my end, as I don't have the mod installed currently but I have some which I have grabbed from the host: Images are hosted here For the skyboxes; I can't think of anything more fitting than Kexikus's "High Quality Skyboxes". Pure sheer quality For content related stuff you just can't miss VarsityPuppet's "Helena Shan Improvement", or you'll just ends-up mistaken her with another lady in the bar I think that's all I can think of regarding Tatooine's essential contents for now. 🤔 Hoping more references are coming your way! Edit: I'll let you know with an update if I manage to found some other stuffs on the way.

Wow, thank you so much for all-this, Sith Holocron! This will be helpful, like- very helpful. And the new crate; it looks like it's going to be awesome! Going to download the attachment later. Nevertheless, thanks for the information!
