  1. Hey everyone! After a long hiatus, I'm officially back.

    I'm in the process of updating file info now that I'm reuploading mods to another site. If anyone's received multiple notifications for the same file update... yeah, really sorry about that. I have ADHD so I forget minor details and I'm also a perfectionist. Really not a good combo.

    I look forward to catching up and seeing what I've been missing out on.

  2. Since approval took to long for it to appear on the front page...

    Let me know what you think.

      @LoneWanderer I hadn't thought about the portrait, thanks. I'll try to get on that.

      @Ashton Scorpius Looking at Mira's new hair in game, I remembered another old problem with them: strands on her sides cross her head in some animations (screen below). While you are working on this mod, can you do something with this, if it's not too troublesome? Maybe moving the lower parts of the strands a little from the head, but so that they do not cross the headgear and visors.

      @LoneWanderer Sure, I can try addressing that.

  3. Recently made the switch from laptops to building my first PC. It's interesting to see how poorly the integrated graphics handled shaders in KOTOR 1.

      I think that’s actually integrated Intel not understanding bumpmaps at all, although I can’t say the cubemap dimensions couldn’t factor there too. The Sith armors are the most obvious offenders with them.

      Are the original shaders on the right?

      @Mellowtron11 Correct shaders on the left, integrated graphics shaders on the right

  4. Don't do MDLOps, kids.

      Or do, but enable the head fix flag.

      I found that some worked best with Ops and some don't. The art of shuffling tools is real though, hahah.

      @DarthParametric True. This was the result of using it to convert my broken weights model just to see what'd happen

  5. Looking for feedback on how I did with my latest Twi'lek ears update. I added a lot more geometry for improved roundness & earlobes.

    Unfortunately they still don't blend in well from the front; the small ear texture's a pain to work with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      @ebmar Appreciated B)

      @DarthParametric Yeah. I'd already done that for the back of the ears, I'll need to find an area that works for the front too

      You'd have better luck pulling something from TOR I think. More defined diffuse, and a normal map.

      Edit: Here @Ashton Scorpius , try this - TOR_Ear_Texture.7z

      @DarthParametric I appreciate you taking care of the extraction for me. I'll see what I can do with that texture 👍

  6. Going through GameFront KOTOR mods uploaded 10+ years ago is weird sh#t man. Even though I didn't know these games existed until 3 years ago, it really makes me appreciate the quality control of this community nowadays.

      Sometimes i wonder how many of the people who made these obscure old mods are dead. 🤔

      And all of them had to be reviewed....

      @InSidious I was wondering what was up with all the 3rd person descriptions of Nexus' backups

  8. My Darth Sion wearable robes are coming along pretty nicely :) Might be a while until I can make a release though, since I'm borrowing (a.k.a. pending usage approval) male shirtless textures from here.

  9. Well, publication of my first mod is a success. Many thanks to this community for all the fantastic work that's inspired me to take my first steps into modding for this game.
