I'd suggest getting it checked out. Better safe than sorry

Hope you're feeling better.

thanks. been a rough couple of weeks. hurt my elbow,  then got really sick, then threw my back out while changing the sheets. 

Because that's its main purpose - to make users suffer so much that people are willing to buy 3ds max at any price, just to be free of GMax.

Gotcha

Humorous, to be sure, but not entirely accurate. The primary reason is because it's a cut down version of 3DS Max 4 from circa 2000. It lacks many of the basic features seen in modern Max because the full fat v4 lacked them as well.

Because I don't want to try to support something that's 9-10 years old. 

Oh! I thought you were getting rid of everything. I misunderstood.

Oh no. Just consolidating a bit

Was seriously thinking of turning the magenta saber into a dark red/burgundy, if it's possible to make look good.

Actually, the French word for lightsaber is sabre laser. "Laser sword."

Did you corral the kitties?

One is, one isn't. Could of waited until tonight to do it but the opportunity presented itself last night. Not sure what I'm gonna do about Whiskers. She has a little house in the back of work but that won't protect her from 17 degrees.

Yeaaahh but i have no idea how to do any of that. Have you ever lifted saber hilts from there?

Indeed. I first posted pics of extracted sabers (and other models) on LF back in the beta period in 2011.

I can give you all the saber meshes and textures if you don't want to deal with the hassle of extracting them yourself. I've mused at times about porting them myself, but frankly I don't really like most of them.

Edit: Although poking through the files just now, I discovered a "modular" folder (which I don't recall seeing before) which has separate emitters/control boxes/grips/pommels. Seems like you could use them to piece together some interesting creations. It seems like that must be how they are making their more recent sabers. Lots of recognisable movie hilt components, albeit with the serial numbers filed off.

Yes. Yes to meshes. Of course all the newer CM sabers would be what we wanted, so anything you could send my way would be great, don’t know if I’d even be able to use them, I really just want to have a look. 
 

Is it April 1st already?

Update: It's up there. No doubt about it.

Didn't it contain copyrighted music though? Tut tut Steam.

Well, I said something. Just a general steer clear. I sincerely hope no one has to go through any of that.

The Steam version doesn't put the path in the right place in the registry. See here.

OH Thank you so much.

Awesome that fixed that. 

If you're trying to do that on the Steam version of K2, I don't think mods can fix that.

Yeah I just found out. Oh well.

Personally I really liked it, they nailed the Obi Wan and Vader showdown. I loved the third sister (Revas) redemption story line most of all though.

The casting for young Leia is spot on,  she did really well in the role. And I loved the robes Obi Wan uses throughout the show!

Yeeeaah. But now I want to redo every single blade texture I just made to have a much bigger glow while still more transparent.

Apart from the moment when Obi went all Jedi Jesus and took Darth behind the woodshed and stoned him like he was the blasphemer in Monty Python's Life of Brian...

This was my reaction to pretty much every episode.

Thanks all. Yeah, getting old sucks. This is a reoccuring thing been going on for years. Not sure what original cause was, and can never predict when it'll happen next. Maybe just overworking myself.

But its getting better slowly. Felt well enough today to try to go to work. That didn't last long. 

Chiropractor would also be a reoccuring thing. Once you start you can never stop. 

You're not wrong. I was in a car accident 2 years back. I still have to see a chiro because my spine got permanently messed up. Odds are I'll have an arthritic neck before I hit my 40's.

Ooooh, ouch. 

For appearance-only change I'd personally go with comparing/patching the presented UTC/s -- but, if there are couple of mechanics change [and/or in addition to appearance's] like feats, skills, inventories, etc. - I'd go with hard-replace.

The reason is sometimes you'd want the creature/UTC to behave like you want--as mod's design--and to make sure of that you don't want left-overs from previous changes presented in there.

Yes, there'll be compatibility issue with other mods -- but a plus for that you got your mod working as intent to.

Right, yes.

obviously some are going to be like say a lev40_malak stunt double where I'm just changing the model in its hand. Others it's dropping what he fought with so you can loot it.

oookay. Gonna get started on this tonite or tomorrow

Decided to just do hard replaces for .utc's.

It's going to end up being the same thing as comparing unedited/edited files within the module. 

Can't wait!

Thanks 🙏 

How's she doing? Any better?

Yes thanks. Her voice is just starting to come back today. I actually didn't get her to the vet on Thursday, because I couldn't catch her. There's still some chest congestion but she's not gagging as much (maybe once or twice in the last 2 days). She's doing better and is playing but still needs antibiotics from the vet on Monday. She caught all this sickness from my new rescue...he is the culprit.

He is doing alot better but passed it to Penny. My baby!

Details like what version you're using and what you've tried might be helpful.  In fact, why not just open a thread so folks can put their two cents in and expound on the issue at length?

Yeah I'll give that a go in a bit.

Yup. Hasn't been done with these models, so why not? So now I'm just thinking of having that option on release.

Is it just me... or do I see a little stick like shape on the very top of the lightsaber blade?

That's the intersecting blade planes.

It took me a while into the video to deduce the right handed lightsaber was HOTG haha. 

But I dig the effects the Saber makes. And the icons!!

Thanks

Those sabers are so high-quality they make the rest of the scene look bad! 🤣

The Lightsaber itself, it might be best to study other K1 upgradeable items like the Prototype Sword to get the hang of it.

Go to a Lightsaber uti in Kotor Tool, go to Properties, make a new effect using the Item Property Editor and on the bottom right corner is "Upgrade required to activate".

Add your new crystal as a new line in upgrade.2da and if you place this in your Override folder (with your new crystal) and have the "Look up Game's Override folder for 2DA files" set then your new crystal will be ready for you to add to your Lightsaber.

Yup. Just figured that out. It's one of those things I knew way back when, but since forgot about. 

Thanks.

So in order to have those properties for any saber once the crystal is set in it, you have to do that for every saber uti, right?

Right. Yes. Ok. Got it. LOL

Might require the x86 version perhaps?

Uuuh, no. I went and downloaded JRE 6 (x64) and installed it cause I had a version of 8 I think.
