View File TSL: A Better Hanharr Re-Texture What originally started out as just a simple re-work of an older existing re-texture by @Constar for my own use has grown into a completely new beast of its own. I didn't like the short dog hair, the sloth-like aesthetic and, frankly, how sloppy the original mod was and sought to bring it up to a higher standard, inspired by the works of @Dark Hope. I wound up overhauling everything and doing my own thing, but there are still some design choices that carry over from his: the clawed chest and the white hairs around the mouth, blood-stained fur; details I thought added some good story elements to a rather flat and boring character and re-interpreted to my own tastes. I wanted to make Hanharr look like a feral, crusty Wookiee--intimidating but still a little pathetic-- without straying too far from the vanilla color schemes, and kept design elements within the simple slap-shod aesthetics of the OT. He's got a simple brown leather bandolier with mismatched pouches (not pictured in the photos are a last-minute addition of some asymmetric studs on the shoulders) and rusted iron shackles around his wrists, and just a little bit of Chewbacca fur on the face for good measure. Simple and clean. I hope you enjoy this simple (and long overdue, imo) little mod! INSTALL: Just extract the .tga files (one for Hanharr, one for his portrait) from the .rar file with your program of choice into your "Override" folder. That's it. REMOVAL: Extract and delete from your "Override" folder. Simple.

So, with the help of Dark Hope, she managed to figure the issue. Some areas need to be erased and others extended, I don't know why but that's how it worked out. I'm working on updating the texture.

I'm opening this to the forum for help. As the title says, I'm working on an HD retexture for Hanharr based off of an older retexture by Constar for personal use. There's lots of little details in the original retexture that I like that gives a lot of story to Hanharr: the clawed chest, the blood-stained fur on the arms, mad eyes...I just don't like the sloppy use of textures, the short wolf/dog hair rather than scraggly fur, and the sloth-like aesthetic of it. My attempt was to retain the flavor of the original retexture but upgrade it to make it look more like a dirty, crusty, old, feral Wookiee with a quality on par to the reskins by @Dark Hope (I hope she doesn't mind me using her footpad from her HD Zaalbar for this). This is a preview of an early version of the WIP (provided in aid to me by @Effix😞 I've reached out to other fellow modders for help but I'm coming up short; some load it up fine but I'm having mis-alignment issues when I load it up in-game. It must be my tga file because other texture mods for Hanharr that I have load up fine when I drop them into the Override folder, but I can't figure out the issue of my own. It mimics the positioning of details to the original texture file. Maybe some more versed members could try it out and help me figure the problem. I have no mods that would be affecting Hanharr and the one I did have, I've discarded. For those interested, just drop the attached file into your Override folder, any and all feedback would be welcome. P_Hanharr.tga

I've always had problems with M4-78 just as a playable world to begin with, and have always run into compatibility issues in the past that made it a headache to work around, and after finally being able to get to M4-78 (and complete it) after so long...I don't think it's as bad as some folks have made it out to be. The immediate fast travel when you first start as, face it - it should be played with him first, HK-47 to clear the area of radiation, I found really convenient. The whole planet is just a single walk path divided into three areas, like Kashyyk was in K1, and like Kashyyk in K1; it's a real bore to walk back and forth that same path multiple times to do fetch quests. Just cutting to the action is so much more convenient and just speeds up playing the area. As completionists, this world is mainly installed and played to get a "full experience" of what the original game was supposed to be but, let's be frank, M4-78 is not a fun world and was cut after the dev team ran out of time, and realized that it was likely a fun idea at first but not in practice. The sooner it's over the better. The fact it's playable, even at this state, is a miracle in of itself. Yes, there's been tweaks to previous versions of the mod, some I think better, but some also for the worse. "Fixing Droids" used to be playable, now it's not for the aforementioned bugs; same with "Deadly Upgrade" and "Bonus Mission" as it has a really awkward spawning rate and system. There's also that bug of after rebuilding K1-O2(?) and having him sent to diagnostics, he will reappear each time you enter diagnostics and you can cheese reward XP. There's many little other bugs that others have mentioned but I don't think it's any more egregious and immersion-breaking as it's been in previous versions. Though, having said all of that, this mod should've definitely had the more obvious bugs fixed before it was released.

I don't know where to ask this as I don't even know if this is a problem with RCM, but I've always had issues with Bao-Dur's initial lightsaber build "quest" at the start of the game. By Nar Shadaa, most players have one towards the end of the planet's missions. I've always had to use Kotor Save Editor to get one from him. Is this bug hard-coded into the base game for PC or something with mods affecting it? I have all the things I need to build one typically around the time I have get through dealing with the Red Eclipse on the Ebon Hawk but as soon as I hand my parts over to him, and he builds the thing, it never pops up in my inventory and I resort to KSE. It really kills the immersion of the game. Can this never be fixed?

Same on my end. I'm having issues with this pacifying the Assassins. They don't de-cloak when they first appear in the cutscene after Kreia joins, and they don't de-cloak and fight me after while running through the Republic ship at Peragus. I stopped there to find that issue and haven't gone further. I used to run this with Shem's lightsaber mod but did a delete and fresh install of the game to use this. This is the only thing I'm using that mods the Assassins beyond the one that turns the Sith Troopers to Assassins and that wasn't a problem with Shem's. Removing your files reset them to their defaults.

I'm a staunch vanilla player and like my mods least intrusive as possible but still enough of a mod that gives the game some new life. I've always liked Rece's Upgradeable Robes but it's an old mod by today's standard, but I like what it adds to the game. I also really like this newer mod by @PirateofRohan that reorganizes the robes in-game into "tiers" allocating one pattern to basic/knight/master along with the layered contrasting color schemes. The unfortunate thing is that they don't mix well together! Both mods running will limit the variety of the Three-Tiered robe choices and I'd like to keep them. Is there way (or better yet, someone) to make a mod the fully incorporates these two elements together without it conflicting? I've contacted both authors of the mod but I don't think any of them wants to bother. I would definitely love this option if it were made though!

FIXED! Thanks for this!

Ought not to be. I'm a strict vanilla player; I keep things where they are and just change the cosmetics mostly. The last thing I put in was @Tk664 Korriban mod and that shouldn't have touched any of it. It's why I'm looking at the Ultimate Endar Spire to see if anything in there is screwing around.

So I've installed some new mods, started a new game, and am finding issues that are causing a texture "blinking" or animating bug specifically on these "Plasteel Cylinders," and I'm trying to figure what they're called in the game's files to find the problem. I've had this encounter before with animations for certain placeables conflicting with their respective specular traits but can't for the life of me think what it could be for the cylinders as I haven't got anything in the Override folder that would have to do anything with having them animate. My current thinking is that something from the "Ultimate Endar Spire" mod I recently installed is the cause (I'm running it without Reshade) and it's conflicting with something else.
