Yeah, the ultimate price was this resort villa at a paradise beach for you and the party members to hang around with.
All members would hang around a certain spot. Just doing nothing much really, just like on the Ebon Hawk.

Like having a sparring match with the hand maiden on the beach, having Hanharr kick a beach ball out in the ocean...
Visas and Mira sun bathing at the pool... Atton hanging in the sofa, Boa Dur working on the tv set... dumb things like that.

One other crazy idea was you could play the "pod" races from the game on your console in front of the tv.
It would just load one of the races via a script... If that's even possible 
 

The corridor that goes up was the "loading/ spawn point", it would then transfer you back to the Hangar Bay at the ramp of the Barracuda.
Walkmeshes can't cross each other, not even when you're higher up. It blocks you off like a wall.

Don't think I ever got the waves to behave properly, it was one of the many emitter tests areas I made. We just lobbed this extra level in for fun.
The whole mod was setup to be just a bit of fun and giggles. Very not in line with the theme of the game. 

Me and GloveMaster had many wild big modding plans... Ah, the fun times of being younger and having loads of free time.

You're a genius! Your level designs are so cool. I have had such enjoyment out of your Sellout asset. We made ample use of it in Edge Of Darkness, my total conversion project, and mostly in-character with your original designs. Thanks again for all your hard work with these levels!

Wow, totally incredible. The Villa, amazing. I am investigating this immediately.

The Barracuda is parked up top on the roof, and there's a spiral staircase that *would* lead there... if KOTOR had true 3D walkmeshes.

Anyone remember what this would have had in it or how it would be unlocked? It's definitely the largest oddity in the Scrapyard Games files now that the hangar business is sorted out... I almost feel like it'd be fun to use in a mod where the Exile has some weird fever dream. That's the vibe this module gives off to me, it's just so contextless.

There are ways of linking them that would be viable, for instance having a Barracuda pilot that you can hire, and maybe a cutscene to depict landing on Nal Hutta, which I assume this would be. I'm seeing a pirate moon base programmed in to the Barracuda but I want to get up close and check it out. Having the Barracuda there is context within the Nar Shaddaa  / Nal Hutta / Scrapyard games triangle of location in TSL's map.

Edit: I've taken a great interest in this module and fixed the annoying flashy waves on the beach.

I will be keeping an eye on this and if need be, I am here to provide thoughts and support, etc. 

This work is just so cool!! I want to do this myself for the textures in Edge Of Darkness. Is there a good place to start, did you use multiple programs? I'm sure I can manually feed my textures priority-first through any program. The idea is to find out what site and AI models produce the best result. Did you train your own models? It looks like you did. I am floored, what an amazing work you've done. Incredible!

I just upgraded to a Windows 11 machine with 32GB of RAM. I don't have news on the RTX Remix, But I'm interested in helping to test and develop such a thing. Perhaps somebody can further the work with us in the future.

Looks like you need to add an alpha channel to your TGA in GIMP, in the layers window. You can use the feather setting in any select tool's settings to blend transparency into your moss image.

Photosource it from nature and layer it on with GIMP. LDA_Bark01.tga in Kashyyyk textures. etc I might be able to get some good moss photos, it's how I do everything, if that is of interest to you. You can reskin the bark textures to have a repeating moss pattern. I might be able to take some of this work on for you, if you're interested. I think this would help you implement further geometry, blending the textures there.

You'd have to strategically replace stuff already listed in the item code list. There are ways to interface with the system, but adding custom codes, like DarthParametric said, isn't possible. Familiarity with the KotOR Tool Templates.bif, Item section. Look at a_light /a_medium  / a_heavy / a_robe items. I wrote a Nexus Article about how those items are sectioned, by letter C through K, referring to model in the appeareance.2da

The galaxymap script changes the room model animation to play which swaps between different skybox models which show those textures.

k_inc_hawk.nss

  Reveal hidden contents

void SetBackground()
{
    //string sRoom = GetScriptStringParameter();
    string sRoom = "003EBOq";
    int nRoomAnimation = GetGlobalNumber("003EBO_BACKGROUND");

    switch(nRoomAnimation)
    {
        case 0://106PER
        {
            nRoomAnimation = ANIMATION_ROOM_SCRIPTLOOP01;//PERAGUS
        }break;

etc

The model "003EBOq" contains these room animations.

Thanks for your reply! This is good information, I have found the info in k_inc_hawk.nss as you described.

Wonderful! I will begin creating the skybox images and setting them up for their corresponding planets.

Hello DS.

I am beginning to overhaul the skyboxes in the Ebon Hawk viewable out the windows in the cockpit. I was curious how this mechanism of switching between skyboxes works? I see there are three images in the ebon hawk textures, two of them are divided into four, the other one is for M4-78. 

Right now I'm testing changes to these ebo_sky files in my modded Ebon Hawk. If anyone can shed some light on this subject in the meantime, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello DS. All ideas for EOD sidequests go here. I'm trying to keep spoilers to a minimum.

I have achieved another selfie, although it was from earlier in the wintertime. I sold my car and I walk a lot more now, increasing health in a nice way

Weird glitch.Make sure you're checking out mods to see if the same stuff is getting replaced

On another subject, while on that article, I found this:

Duplicate TGA TPC remover

Cool! 

I recently learned that part of texturing for Horizon Zero Dawn is similar to Skyrim in the filetype, DDS.

I am researching how to create retextures in this game, with hopes of creating new clothing or altered clothing.

Horizon Zero Dawn - Wikipedia

forum.xentax.com has a thread on Horizon Zero Dawn modding that I posted in.

STEP 1.

Texture Explorer Program:

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
^ This link will give Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition. It will allow you to access the HzD Texture Explorer Below.

STEP 2.
HzDTextureExplorer. Texture Explorer for Horizon Zero Dawn files. Can view Textures in a HzD core file, export as dds, and reimport dds. Uses Pfim and ImageSharp. Features. Open HzD core files containing textures and preview them. You can also drop a core file on the program to open it; Export textures to dds

https://github.com/torandi/HzDTextureExplorer#SnippetTab

 

 

STEP 3.
Graphics Program:

GIMP 2.10.22 , a Linux Graphic Editing Program cross-compatible with Windows all versions:

https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
https://itechhacks.com/install-dds-plugin-for-gimp/

^ With this, you can edit the textures. Leave the .dds files uncompressed when exporting.

Edit: I need some help with researching this. Disclaimer - It's a 78gb game. BUT I will make skins for it if I can figure out the way to do so.

To import/export textures from Horizon Zero Dawn, you can use the HZDMeshTool. This is a Blender addon that allows you to import and export textures from Horizon Zero Dawn's .core format  .
Here are the steps to install and use the tool:
- Download the HZDMeshTool from GitHub.
- In Blender, open the User Preferences and go to the Add-ons tab.
- Click on Install and select the HZDMeshTool.zip file.
- Enable the addon.
- Go to the Scene Properties tab.
- As of version 1.3, you can extract textures from the game files by enabling the Extract Texture checkbox in the tool . If enabled, the tool will extract every texture used by the imported mesh part to the Workspace directory. You can click the checkered icon next to the mesh import button to see the textures used .
 

This was essential, the best thing to hit TSL since Steam. Hopefully this link will ease its use on TSL and TSL TC mods. I know it's an old thread, and I see my data might be saving others the same question. 

KOTOR Omega_-_ReShade.zip

Best used with the DISC copy, Steam IDK

Hopefully this link is relevant enough not to be too much of a thread resurrection.

I optimized the settings for TSL. All credit for this system goes to the original authors

A fine start!  Any chance you could do m21aa next?

Yes, I'll go there next and see what I can do.

Edit: The model has some flaws on the desk in the final room, but technically this can be covered by a placable, or even removed completely with the omission of that room. Thor110 has converted the K1 module to TSL, and I inspected it and it's nice!

Here is m21aa for TSL, all the necessary files are in the .MOD, although no changes were made to it yet.

The way the desk and screen are covered depends on what you plan to use the area for.

KORd01.mod

I've got the TSL conversion that isolates the lost temple and the walkmesh in question. Further research and experimentation might benefit from this progress.

^ This archive converts Lehon to Tatooine and connects to the Dune Sea and the cave/lost temple.

The Landing Zone module is not included because it's on Lehon beach as 201TEL. I have renamed it "TAT00L".

TAT00L.mod

It's not so much the walkmesh as the model being incomplete, so reversing it to an editable form in blender or 3dsmax is very important.\

Is there a way to take K1 and TSL models each and decompile them to editable format?

It would be nice if it was a Blender process, but 3DSMax knowledge here is also good.

I would like to request combat animations for the TSL Space suit.  It can't hold items, but it displays pistol, sword, idle, and unarmed animation. I thought perhaps recompiling the Wookiee or Trandoshan animations into the space suit to get the desired effect. Also, clipping isn't my concern, moreover a functioning one could have clipping and still be good.

Thanks for reading, hopefully it's possible to do, would be amazing for heavy armors to have that thing.

Edit: I would like to add an addendum to this request:

If you can contribute advice, ideas, or leads on further work, that is also desired here.

Use this tool here, "Sith Codec". It will do some of what you need.
