So, I decided to try re-working a Darth Sion wearable robes mod I started a while back. Originally, I'd gone into GIMP and combined PMBAM and N_SionA textures so that the model could have one unique texture. I'd been borrowing bare male chest textures from this mod for testing purposes. This mod was never released because I have no artistic ability of my own and didn't intend on stealing the author's work. I thought that maybe it would be better in the meantime to have the model use the pre-existing textures. In order to do this, I used KOTORmax to split the torso into two separate meshes. I linked the new mesh (lower torso) to the OdysseyBase and to the best of my ability added bones and removed unnecessary bones from the upper torso mesh. When I exported a model that was successfully able to be converted back to binary (via MDLedit), this was the result, both the upper and lower torso meshes appearing invisible: The meshes are set to render and I checked to make sure no normals were inverted, so I'm not sure where I went wrong. There's nothing wrong with the shadows' animations so I assume it's not a bone thing. I found this topic where someone who had a similar invisibility issue, but that was for an area model and had to do with lightmapping. The ascii model I imported into gmax was exported out of Blender so I don't know if that had anything to do with it either.

Great work. It's nice to see an HD main menu texture that stays true to the original look.

View File TSL Removed Mouth Cubes (Modder's Resource) Per request, this is a modder's resource to fix unused models in TSL that had the "mouth cube" problem, AKA tongue tip dummies unintentionally set to render. I have also included a model for Jedi Malak with his "mouth cube" fixed. Not to be confused with my Malak Mouth Fix mod, the model in this download has no further changes. What's Included Jedi Malak (Full body): n_jedimalek.mdl/mdx Sith Governor/Apprentice (Head): sith_app.mdl/mdx Atris (Darth Traya variant) (Full body): n_darthtraya.mdl/mdx Credits Fred Tetra, Kotor Tool bead-v, MDLedit Disclaimer This modder's resource is not supported by LucasArts, BioWare, or Obsidian Entertainment.

@Salk @danil-ch Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm just surprised there wasn't already a fix for this. Also, @Kainzorus Prime I'll get working on that soon. I plan on uploading it as a modder's resource, so I'll message you a link after it's approved.

View File TSL Jedi Malak Mouth Fix This mod addresses several issues with Jedi Malak's mouth in KOTOR II. Fixes include getting rid of the white box in his mouth, correcting the texture used for his tongue, connecting gaps, enlarging upper/lower teeth, & adjusting the placement of all of the above. As pointed out by JCarter426, Jedi Malak's model also used the wrong supermodel, which I've fixed in this mod as well. All seriousness aside, my intention with this mod is to ensure that Malak's mouth is only a disaster post-contact with Revan's lightsaber. Installation & Uninstallation To install this mod, drag the files in "Override" to the override folder in your game's directory. To uninstall this mod, delete n_jedimalek.mdl & n_jedimalek.mdx from your game's override folder. Compatibility & Known Issues When entering the Korriban cave tomb, Malak's tongue will appear half white. This is due to the lighting where he's standing & most likely can't be fixed.

Before uploading my first mod, I looked at a lot of other modders' readme formats to get a feel for how they should be written. My tips are to make each section clear (i.e. putting a row of dashes under headers) & keep it just simple enough to be effective. Same thing for the disclaimer.

It should automatically work. If you test out your dialogue in-game & aliens' mouths don't move for certain lines, that means that VO is missing a .lip. It's a bit of a hassle, but you can check which lip files exist by copying the .mod files from the game's lips folder to Modules & open them with Kotor Tool under ERFs. Alien VO files are named like AVO_(Species)(Emotion)## I'm not 100% sure what you mean by this, but if you're talking about editing the dialogue itself, you can put -1 in the StrRef for every line & type in the replacement.

You need to use DLG Editor to edit dialogue instead. Not only is Kotor Tool's editor buggy, it's not fully compatible with TSL dialogue, so that's why you're not seeing those options. When using DLG Editor, make sure to toggle mode to TSL. The bottom panel should look like this: I put a star next to the 2 things @JCarter426 mentioned.

You're going to need to edit the .dlg files. I'm not too familiar with how alien VOs work in KOTOR II .dlg files, but it would be easiest to replace them with the nearest match based on the species you changed to (i.e. Gamorrean Angry Long -> Rodian Angry Long) Also, I'd check to make sure any alien VO you plan on using has a corresponding .lip file since K2's missing a bunch.
