    Snappish aren't ya :laughing: ? I know that the technique used by the developper to have the leather shine is not the same as yours. However, I know that you have a technique that can make object shine kinda the same way than the effect I want to get and this was what I was reffering to. Another example of what I'd like is this:

    The thing is that Vanilla skin looks very bland and that makes the seem that much less noticeable, as you noticed with the beach in the restoration zone. However, that blandness is why I always wanted to mod these skins. So I have 3 choices:

     

    -either I go for a very long approach, requires me to modify something, save-it and test-it thousand of times until the seams can't be seen anymore, kinda like what Malkior has been doing with his skyboxes, but a bit more, because of the nature of the skin I'm working on, with all the small details.

     

    - I could also leave-it with a big ugly seam that will make people criticize and avoid-it because it looks very bad. And I also do not like-it, so I'd rather not.

     

    -Last option is to take the sleeve up there to cover the shoulder so that looks less weird. I think it already looks better that way.

     

    On the last option, I would like to add a bit of shine and since it has been done before, like what Kristy did, I'd like to make something similar.

     

    That's all.

    I've posted the UVW so you guys can help me pinpoint on-it where I should change to correct the weird black area at the back of the first picture. However, you may notice a bit of improvement. Thanks Kain for the correction of the weird eyes issue!

    Last thing is I realize the sleeve option might not be the best ever, but it was the more simple option to me and I kinda like-it. The only thing is I wish I could give-it a bit of shine and I have no clue how I could do that. I read about-it in SIC's WIP, but I'm not very adept without an in depth guide step-by-step. Also, it seems my laptop's graphic card is too weak to handle the shine in TSL, so that's kinda problematic to me (gotta hate those transparent Mandalorians, I swear...).  Anyway, what do you guys think? Should I keep that to myself, or release-it? If I do, it is probably going to be after the 2nd twin is done, which could take a few more months, as I'm very slow...

    So, I have been working on this some more. I'm mostly satisfied by the head, even if the colour is slightly different from the rest of the body. Worked on the breast to make-it less of a mess, colour-wise (it was pretty dark in some area). Found a work-around that's not so ugly for the shoulder: a kind of shoulder sleeve. Doesn't look too bad, except in the scapula area, I have some kind of dark area that does not look too good. I'll try to fix-it, but I don't know where this precise zone is on the tga. Also, I've been able to put what Quanon sent me on the the psd I'm working on (the one that will become the tga) and I will be able to use-it at some point, though not right now, as it is kinda late and I'm done working on this at this point of day. I'll post screenshots at some point.

    @Mr. Phil: If i recall that issue with Hanharr and Mira is a game engine issue and not a bug with TSLRCM.

     

    @Markus Ramikin: Rather than trying to sneak into Mandalore's quarters, simply wait until after Mandalore joins the team and loot the quarters then. I do it that way all the time and never have had an issue.

    I know that Hassat likes to fix bugs from the vanilla version to make a better version, though. If he could fix these issues, it would just be another reason to love TSL RCM. If he can't do-it, so be-it, but if he wants and can, that's great ;)

    Yes, that's the one that drives me up the wall. Not sure how I missed it as I'm sure I would have checked all the sound directories to find it.

     

    At last, al_cantina_band, you're reign or below mediocre music that is an offense to the ears, can come to an end, and, not soon enough ;).

    What will you replace-it with then?

    Yeah, I don't think it is a WAV at all but rather some midi music that was taken from an old Star Wars game;the developers must of had some nostalgia for it, I don't ;).

     

    If you know where it is -- if it isn't in code -- and how I can obliterate it from the game... You're my new best friend.

     

    EDIT: oh, forgot to add it is the Telos Station Cantina -- there is only the one.

    Hey SIC, go in your StreamSounds folder, remove al_cantina_band.

     

    Then add the one I'll PM you and enjoy!
