Thanks Rob, I'll take a look probably tomorrow after I fly home. So without any other edits to the model it's messed up in-game after decompile/recompiling it? and can you confirm if it is any different between Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1 and Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=0 in the ini?

Good to know, so one of the differences i noticed between the mdledit and the vanilla head was an ordered array of bone indices was zeroed out in the mdledit head so I swapped it with the values of the vanilla and zeroed that array in the vanilla head, to see if that was maybe the cause. It apparently was not. I will continue investigating. I was wondering if you could just round trip a head in mdlops and kmax without any other edits, just the saving and conversion processes. Both the ascii and binary and pass it over, and also if you can see if that with no manual edits is still messed up it can help me eliminate (and ultimately hopefully fix) whatever tool is mangling it.

ooh I think this is the first Mira reskin I like. Good job.

@redrob41 Can you try both of these? pmhc04_vanilla_skin_unknown_zeroed.zip pmhc04_mdledit_skin_unknown_from_vanilla.zip

hmm the MDLEdit and KBlender versions have different amounts of vertices. I wonder what they're doing differently..

FYI Folks, many new patches have been released. https://github.com/LaneDibello/Kotor-Patch-Manager New Aspyr Fixes: Lightsaber Hilt rendering - Lightsaber modders rejoice, the hilt textures no longer disappear Bump Map Restoration - bump maps are back! Others: Allowing all 12 of the K2 Portraits to be visible on party select - Modders can now use a slot for a recruitment mod by using whatever slot the user isn't using for mira/hanarr, and no longer need to utilize the armband while using partyswap. Wiring for Good and Very Good Alignment heads. - If any modders want to take up making good and very good alignment heads, these were in heads.2da already but there wasn't any exe logic calling to them, it now works at 70 and 90 alignment. Also working on a patch to expand the max dynamic lights to 9 instead of the vnailla 3. All of J's fixes have been ported as well.

Nice, I believe this model is also used in TSL in several different areas.

so far, so good. Still a lot of work to do, but yeah, i play with partyswap.

Hello friends, I am currently developing a patch for K2 that extends the active Party from 3 to 5. I've got a lot of it worked out: Adding to party from party select screen Combat, Skill Usage, Quest Reward Experience Propagates to 4th and 5th slots Buffs/Debuffs can be added to 4th and 5th slots. The icons display. Autolevel up will autolevelup 4th and 5th slot members. Most movement related bugs are sorted, still some quirks with pathfinding and spawn location to sort out GUI has been fixed to show 4th and 5th slots. 4/5th slots can react to conversations, start dialogue, gain/lose influence. Things still needed: 5th slot doesn't show level up icon. (Shouldn't be a difficult fix) Scripts that hard code iterating through the party with 3. These will all have to be changed. In menu portraits don't show, researching fixes for this. Coming to a KOTOR Patch Manager Near You, some day, don't ask. I'm working on it.

@Sith Holocron We got that official announcement

@Sith Holocron Where can I find examples of where people are doing this with characters so far?

https://www.pcgamer.com/knights-of-the-old-republic-remake-reportedly-in-development-at-aspyr/ Jason did confirm that Asypr is working on KOTOR remake after teasing it for a couple of months. Now just looking for the official announcement! https://www.ign.com/articles/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-remake-reportedly-coming-from-port-studio-aspyr Eurogamer has also independently reported that it is a full remake, bringing KOTOR into canon. @Sith Holocron whatcha think?

On twitter, yes, but he is quite active on ResetEra also and has talked about it there.

There are now very credible rumors that Aspyr is actually working on a KOTOR game. I'll be interested if we hear more. The rumors are being floated by Jason Schreier who is a very reputable journalist with a long history of leaks that have turned out to be true.

There is one case of this actually being okay'd, albeit not by Disney/LucasArts/Bioware/Obsidian but by Bethesda. I doubt the former mentioned parties will see it the way that Bethesda does considering none of those companies have ever supported modding, but there's that. Either way, I think anyone with half a brain knew that they can send a C&D out at any moment so I'm not sure what the surprise that the developers of Apeiron acknowledge that. In the end, who cares? Really? At this point this is a dead horse getting beat. The developers obviously do not care what any of us think.

I was pretty skeptical of it at first, but I've started to be impressed with their work lately. I don't think it'll make it to release though.

Dudeeee that VO made my day. It's so good, a little more fast pace than his original VO but that's by far the best imitation I've heard in any mod (kotor or other games). Great job.

Wow, these look great. Are you having to do a lot of editing to get them to work in KOTOR/TSL? Just wondering an idea of how much work is involved in each piece.

No, they are not. They were featured in the original Prima guide in place of the mining droids on Peragus. They may have been featured in other early promotional material also. Looks like they were preliminary models of the mining droids that were later replaced.

There's a planet mod called [REMOVED] where everything had a horrible looking orange tint, characters and all. It used stolen music in the mod (hence why it is banned from discussion) and this is a April Fool's joke of a planet referencing that, orange character and all. Sith Holocron will swoop in at any moment and lay down the ban hammer and remove all of this and tell us A. This isn't the thread to discuss this in. B. Discussion of this mod is against the rules. It's just a matter of time. His forum senses are probably tingling away this very moment.

Your's is one of the best texture mods I've seen. I know it's late, but I do hope you consider option 2 later, as well.
