Unless I'm mistaken - and I may very well be - I don't think that model viewer rotates on all axes.

This post is part of a continuing series I've been doing for Darth Varkor's next movie. He mention that other than using Xarwarz's skins for Dantooine, that he was pretty open to suggestions. The next area we'll be talking about possibly improving is Tatooine! When you set up your ideal Tatooine, what mods you do use? Please list the mods that you use below for both the interiors, skyboxes, and the exteriors of this planet. You can mix and match here so if there's parts that you like from one set of skins and you substitute a few of them from another mod, let us know which you use. (You can let us know why you do so as well!) In addition to skins, let us know if there are other Tatooine mods you use - fixes and other things - that you also use. For these, I'd definitely like to hear your rationale for using these. Go ahead and point out any model fixes if there are any. Finally, please add pictures to illustrate your points. Don't attach a link to make us see it on another page though. Have an IMGUR link (or something similar) or put it right in the post. If you have questions, feel free to ask. By the way, I'm still looking for feedback on the M4-78 EP. If you would rather do that anonymously, PM me.

My least favorite texture in KotOR2 is for a desk with a unchanging monitor. There is a texture called "PLC_comPanel". Here's the the texture I'm talking about. And here's an example of one of the many places you'll see it. (Two monitors a little bit behind the long table in the picture use this texture.) Though the rest of the desk texture could use some work, the monitor portion is the one that really irks me. I'd love to see the whole thing improved and if someone was to throw in some animation, that would great too! I'm open to multiple submissions. In this case, I'm hoping for multiple requests this time around - just in case folks I know are making movies that could some extra variety. (So even if you think someone else has made a better one, I'll still want to see yours.) The best way to display your work for myself and others reading this thread: Embed a small video clip into your post (like a YouTube video), That should do nicely.

The advice that I stated in my last in this post has not changed. PM Zbyl2 for updates as he's not following this thread.

These damn kids with their textin' vocabulary. It's KotOR! Update: It strikes me that there's some potential fun to be had by replying to any YouTube comment that states Apeiron was a mod by replying that it isn't with a definition. Anyone want to take a crack a writing a small blurb that folks can copy and paste from here to "in order to facilitate communications"?

Appreciated, VP.

Possibly. I'm just going to stick to talking about Apeiron in this thread though. I am headed off to sleep now but if anyone posts a comment on the YouTube comment section, could you let us know about it?

I just hope more folks point out in the comment section of the video that Apeiron wasn't a mod. (Right now, it's mostly folks using the C&D news as an excuse to bash Disney in general about their studio's SW movies or commenting on EA's lackluster games, which seems a bit off-topic to me.)

@JCarter426: Speaking to you as a mod uploader, how important are comments to you if they haven't even downloaded your mod?

That quote amused me. Yes, I know it wasn't you. My comment (under "scarletguard") checks a lot of your other boxes.

Looks like SidAlpha has gotten a few of the salient points wrong. I dropped my own thoughts in the comment section on the video's page but feel free to add your own.

Exactly!

I was wondering if anyone might be able to explain the difference between "reviews" left for uploads and "comments." As they can both have text attached to them, I was trying to figure out why they are in two separate categories.

@Jorak Uln, it might be better if you make the loading screens with your new textures as only you know which ones will be altered. As my wife and I are still in Hawaii on my 10th anniversary, I can't do much ATM. However, I can point out what I did and what I used when we get home. PM me Saturday or beyond, if interested. One other thing: I am looking forward to what sort of animations you make for the Peragus medical monitors.

He mentioned that he hadn't worked with K2 yet before. I imagine he'll provide one when he's ready.

Not sure what I’d object to as more options liven the community. If @Jorak Uln wants me to make a new loading screen for the large Peragus monitor, I’d need the new textures and also to know - like you pointed out @Squall Lionhart- if Jorak is doing both sides of the monitor.

Tell you about in PMs.

That's how I got these three shots anyway . . . However, I hope Kexikus will be able to explain his method to you. Best to have multiple options to work with.

Other than the beginning or the end of the race, what difference does that actually make though? Think about it this way. How would anyone know if you're "walking the camera backwards" if you then reverse the footage?

Might I suggest using GLIntercept, pausing the swoop race you want, going into first person mods, and capturing your footage that way? (You might have to go into first person, then pause - I forget the order that I did it in to get screen capturess for my loading screens.)

Thanks for posting this!

View File Peragus Medical Monitors and Computer Panel MOD AUTHOR: Sith Holocron ORIGINAL RELEASE: 03 OCT 2018 MOST CURRENT RELEASE: 22 NOV 2024 GAMES: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords Description: The video on the download page covers what I’ve done with the Medical Monitors you encounter at the start of your game. The “PER_Cpanel.tga” texture has been remade from ground up. First off, it uses a new upscaled version of the texture to bring it from 256 x 256 to 1024 x 1024. Then, I added new blinking LEDs. Also included: new tachometers to replace the old meters. And there are new monitors . . . and those have 8 frames of animation. The “PER_Cpan” and “PER_Cpin” textures are also new. PER_Cpan uses a upscaled version of the texture to bring it from 256 x 256 to 1024 x 1024. Then I added new LEDs. The “PER_Cpin” texture is now sized at 256 x 256 (upscaled to twice its original size) with 4 frames of animation and new lighted buttons. The final new texture is PER_Tek2 has 16 frames on animation. I used Thor110’s upscale of the texture added a frame around it and created the missing TXI file. Installation: Put all TGA and TXI files into your KotOR2 Override folder. Uninstallation: Take them out again. Known Bugs: None known at this time. (None were ever reported for the first release.) Special Thanks: To ConansHair: For providing the upscaled “PER_Cpanel.tga” in the previous version of this mod and for helpful feedback. Though I used my own upscale for this updated version, I wanted to keep this shout out intact. To Malkior: For suggestions on texture inclusions (including the fader levels on the lower left -most monitor. To Fair Strides: For helpful feedback. To Thor110 for making his upscale package a modder’s resource – indispensable for the PER_Tek2 texture.
