Huh, I was under the impression KOTOR maps had to be saved that way. To clarify, I first make a height map (attached) and use Nvidia's Normal Map Filter for Photoshop to convert it to an RGB normal map. I then save that in indexed color mode as I thought that was the requirement, though this is based on my vague recollections from the initial testing back in the LucasForums days... I think it was Darth_Sapiens' thread. Then I run the TGA and TXI with obsolete data through TGA2TPC and it makes the TPC and I thought it was working. It's strange that the Y axis would be inverted. There is an option for that in the Nvidia filter, but I hadn't selected it. I suppose I could invert the inversion, though I don't see what was causing it to be inverted in the first place. Edit: I ran TGA2TPC without converting the TGA to indexed color mode first and the game did in fact crash. JC_HandBA_H.tga

Hmm, no change. What did I do wrong? I saved as a power of 2 in indexed color mode and had Tupac compile it as usual, or at least I thought I did. Plus it seemed to be working - the highlight issue aside, it was at least bumping the parts that were meant to be bumped. You know, I'd been wondering if they were doing anything for a while. But I've been copying and pasting from the first bump map I did, so I always left them in. Thanks for clarifying.

Well, I'm back. The Handmaiden has some weird issue on her shoulder here, and similar problems on her wrists. It looks like a smoothing issue, but... well, the problem goes away if I don't use a bump map. Just removing it from the TXI data is enough - leaving the model as bumpmappable is fine. The weird highlights go away whenever the bump map goes away. But I don't understand that because that part of the bump map is solid blue. And if I do get rid of the bump map, different weird highlights pop up on her back. And obviously I'd want to not get rid of the bump map in any case. Files attached. I've included the binary model and all textures for once, in case it's something there I did wrong. Handmaiden Shoulder Issue.zip

You need to have the supermodel extracted in the same folder as the model when you compile for animations to work, and specifically the supermodel for the game you are porting to. For most female heads, this is S_Female03; for most male heads, this is S_Female02 (don't ask). However, you should know that you can't port a head by compiling it willy-nilly and expecting it to work perfectly. The lips will be messed up if you don't adjust them in a modeling program. I'm working on way to automate this process for heads ported from K2 to K1, but I expect heads ported from K1 to K2 will always need these adjustments, due to the numerous new animations in K2.

Yes, that's right. However, it was not Improved AI that was causing the problem, but rather the way the scene in TSLRCM was set up. That sort of thing is universal to the game - party member spots an enemy, scene breaks. stoffe's mod improves the reaction time for spotting hostile creatures, so it would guarantee the scene would break. I'm not sure why it wouldn't happen with TSLRCM alone, or if that is indeed the case, as I only know what has been reported. But in any case, the problem is resolved now.

View File JC's Zhug Attack Fix for TSLRCM Summary I noticed two issues regarding the Zhug attack in TSLRCM: Some of the appearances were wrong, so they were all clones of Azanti Zhug. More importantly, all the Zhugs were spawned as hostile. This would cause the cutscene to break if the AI for one of the party members spotted a Zhug and attacked. This had the unfortunate consequence of removing the choice to add a third party member to team up with Atton and Bao-Dur. This mod fixes both of those things. This mod requires TSLRCM version 1.8.5. It may not be compatible with earlier or later versions. Only 1.8.5 has been tested. Installation Run Zhug_Attack_Fix.exe. Click "Install Mod" and select your game directory (default name SWKOTOR2). Uninstallation Remove the installed files. Replace with backups if necessary. Compatibility This mod requires TSLRCM version 1.8.5. It may not be compatible with earlier or later versions. Only 1.8.5 has been tested. This mod is included in the KOTOR 2 Community Patch. If you use that, you don't need this. It may also not be compatible with other mods that alter the Zhug encounter.

It should be possible with EffectForcePushTargeted(). That applies the same effect but you can specify a location, and I believe you could calculate the target location based on the player and enemy vectors.

This isn't possible because the game only changes animation based on what items are equipped- usually the weapon, but there is also the case of Mira's wrist launcher - and not the lightsaber forms. There is evidence that Obsidian intended to implement this, but they probably didn't have the time or budget to make animations for all the forms, and unfortunately they didn't program the stuff we'd need even if someone were to make all those animations. We're limited to specific animation sets: unarmed, complex unarmed, stun baton, single melee, dual melee, double-bladed melee, single blaster pistol, dual blaster pistols, blaster rifle, and repeating blaster rifle. If you wanted you could change any of those to do different things, but they would always depend on the type of item equipped and not on the saber forms. Plus you'd have to get rid of some of the existing ones first. Even if you had animations already, it couldn't be helped. It's an unfortunate situation, for example, that extra animations for Mira's wrist launcher exist, but there's no conceivable way to use them without replacing something else because on the programming side they only implemented the grenade thing. Force powers are a simpler matter. You need to write a script to handle the game mechanics, then apply it to a line in spells.2da. All the data that determines how and when the Force power is available to the player is configured there as well. You'll also need to add a line to dialog.tlk so the power will have a description in the GUI. That makes it somewhat of a pain as you have to use a token with TSLPatcher so the right line number is referenced, which is why I've never bothered to ever try making a Force power. TSLPatcher doesn't behave for me. I have thought about adding some, though, and in fact specifically Force pull. Maybe I'll get around to it one of these days. Also, as long as we're on the subject of Force powers and animations, I don't believe it's possible to add new animations for Force powers either. Again, we're limited to what are already used - even though, again, there actually are extra animations that are never used.

I... have no words for this. Don't do that. If you want to remove an item from your inventory, the easiest way would be to use the KOTOR Savegame Editor.

Yes, model cannot have a bump map unless it is set to. In KOTORMax, this is the "bumpmappable" flag, while in the ASCII file it reads "tangentspace 1".

View File JC's Fashion Line B: Commoner Clothing for K2 This mod does several things: It makes all texture variations of the commoner clothing available to the player, with all the items - 11 total outfits - placed in various locations throughout the game. I've placed them where those outfits seemed to be the most popular, so if you see an NPC wearing an outfit you haven't seen before, the item can probably be found nearby. It changes which clothing item the player receives on Telos, based on class as seen in the character creation menu. Only the first clothing item the player receives will be based on their class; players of all classes will still be able to find the other variants elsewhere in the game. It adds a male variant of the Czerka uniform to match the existing female texture. For whatever reason there wasn't a male variant, so I've cobbled together one from the female variant and the other male textures. It shuffles around some of the textures so the male and female variants match each other more closely, primarily based on color. I've made sure to patch any affected characters to revert their outfits to their original appearances. It adds unique icons and names to all the items, so you can tell them apart. (They were all just called "Clothing" before.) I've named them based on who in the game wears them; for example, two of the outfits popular on Dantooine I've named "Settler Clothing" and "Fringer Clothing". The icons display both the male and female variants of each item, due to the differing appearances. It adds custom icons for Atton's Ribbed Jacket and Mira's Ballistic Mesh Jacket. They originally used the same icon as commoner variant #1, and since I changed that to look like the commoner clothing I saw it fit to give the unique items their own icons as well. It touches up several of the male textures to fix some discoloration and bad seams. I have also included an option to give the commoner clothing some upgrade capabilities. If you choose this option, you'll be able to upgrade the clothing items with some underlays, the same upgrades available to the miner uniform.

Huh, I didn't realize it affected that. I turned it off because I noticed it did weird things to the lighting on the eyes and teeth. Well, that explains it. Not sure yet. That particular model was a failed attempt anyway, so I'm not worried yet. Probably going to put it on hold for a while as it was annoying me.

I took a look at it, just did some haphazard adjustments to make sure the model's different, then fiddled with the smoothing. It's hard to judge from the screenshots, but I think my results with the seam were a little better, though still not perfect: Looks like it's fine on one side but not the other. There may be some faces or some issues with the vertex positions or weighting that I've overlooked. Since there's no seam at all on the other side of her head, my guess is it's some problem on the model like that rather than MDLEdit's calculations. Also, unrelated problem, but it amused me: P_VisasH-kotormax_v3.mdl.ascii

Good job on the porting, but you got fooled by Obsidian's poor naming conventions. That model is called Sith Assassin but it's actually the one used for the Ubese bounty hunters. I believe the assassin body models are n_darkjedilowf and n_darkjedilowm and the head is named similarly although I don't know which one it is offhand.
