Fair Strides

Welcome to the insanity! I'm a "fellow dev" as well, but I'm sort of the wallflower in the corner. No formal experience, and my only area of "expertise" is in desktop modding programs. And I'm not sure which side of the fence you're on, but I code with Notepad and Perl. For laughs (not my invention): http://imgur.com/gallery/2w9IS45 and http://imgur.com/gallery/pR185US

That was very informative! Thank you Xuul.

I imagine it was found in a similar way to the walkmesh-glitching on Citadel Station that allows you go access the restricted areas and get outside the containment fields in the Hangars... That would definitely fix it, but they're abusing a game mechanic here with the teleportation, so I'm not really sure if the TSLRCM team would opt to fix this or not.

Makes even more sense considering how blocky the "bones" are would help with giving the shadows shape while conserving polies. Also, it was either the Face Normals (which I doubt) or the Plane Distance on the faces, which it looks like I might have zeroed out by accident. As for the XBox models, did anyone ever do a filedump and check the .mdl files? I know that K1 and K2 both have different seemingly-random numbers taking up the first twelve bytes of a .mdl file, so it could be that these numbers differ between the PC and Xbox versions...

We've fixed the issue (either the face normals or plane distances) and uploaded a fixed version (now it's MDLOps 0.7 Alpha 2).

For those that don't have a clue (like Zbyl2 and me), could you explain what the glitch is when you ask if it's been fixed?

If you've done a retexture, could we see that and the original .mdl and .mdx files? (Can't compile it right now)

Trying adding the "shadow 1" after the the alpha, and if that doesn't work, try "Shadow 1" instead.

JCarter426, could you perhaps post the first 20 or so lines of the skin Torso part of the ascii? Just the part up to the verts section. I'm thinking you might try changing the Shadow flag on the ascii if it's 0, but if that doesn't fix it, I could take a look at the source code again...

If you're using the Steam version of KotOR 2 with the recent update, then .wav files will no longer work and you will need to convert to a compressed MP3 file. I believe Miles Sound Studio should work for you. For just simple testing, you can put the .lip file in the Override folder, but I'm not sure the game will check the module's file for .lip files. There are module-based "packages" in the lips folder for that feature, but again, the Override folder should work. Also, just putting the audio file into the main StreamVoices folder should do it. What do you have for the VO ResRef in the .dlg file, and what are the exact names of both the .wav (soon to be .mp3) and .lip files?

I tried fixing them at one point, but I think it might be hardcoded. How exactly should they be used?

Which "older version" are you referring to? If you don't run the games as an administrator, the Windows will put the savegames in a VirtualStore folder in your Appdata. If your Saves folder is empty, check the appdata. If it isn't empty, then are you trying to get it to register cloud saves?

I don't recommend ever trying to run the TSLPatcher from the override folder. Move the extracted mod anywhere but the game's folder and then you might get better results.

Posting your install log could help us see exactly where it went wrong. And have you tried re-downloading the mod? Also, how are you installing it? (Are you running it from the archive? Where is the mod extracted to?)

I will be going down your list one at a time: PC Response Moderation works on the Endar Spire currently, not sure how far beyond that it goes, and I'm not sure if its changes would be overwritten by K1R or not. Party on the Leviathan has a slight oversight in the installer that I will be patching shortly, but there is a script in the tslpatchdata folder called "k_plev_freecs2.ncs" that will need to be manually moved to the override folder. I am not sure, but the Endar Spire dialog should be good to go for K1R. At this time, NPC Overhaul is not compatible with K1R, due to shared level files and NPC Overhaul doing all of its changes inside the actual levels themselves and then replacing the .mod files already in the modules folder if they exist. On the Vulkar Coward Redux, that's up to you. I think the pure vanilla option doesn't actually work with K1R, though. Basically, if you want the guy to look and talk like a Twi'lek instead of looking and talking like a Human (as is done in K1R), use this mod. Ord Mandell is a fun mod, and definitely will keep up with challenging you. I haven't installed it in a while, though, so I forget how it installs. Same with Yavin IV. The next four mods I've either only used once (the Korriban Crystal Caves mod) or never (the rest), so I can't really speak on them. The entire Character Models section should be fine, but pay special attention to what Darth Parametric said. Honestly not sure how the Bastila Romance Enhancement will play with K1R, since I believe ZM90 edited her dialog file. The Sunry Murder Recording is already integrated into K1R. Black Vulkar Soundfix should be safe to use. The Cutscene mod is not actually cutscenes. It's editing the audio of the videos the game plays, but that should be safe to use. I'd be careful with the Korriban Workbench, as I recall talking to the author about it once, but I forget if that was in relation to K1R or not... Never use the Xia Tarashei mod. I am not at all sure how the K1 Enhancement Pack's stuff will work out. Weapons of the Old Republic will probably overwrite a bit of the stuff from Weapon Models Overhaul and the Vibrosword mods, and you will need to delete several .utc files (I'm not sure which ones, you'd need to ask Malkior) to work on the Leviathan and some spots afterwards. Not sure about Xiskio's Holster mod.

What mods do you have? And what have you done in your game? DS/LS? Male/Female? What was your decision at the top of the Temple?

Please forgive any traces of irritation, but on Steam I've already had to deal with a host of "Hey! Is it clean?!" posts and seen some people get pretty freaking arrogant and up-tight about how their testing can't be wrong... I've already said in the past that KSE is clean, but that with the programming language the OLD KPF was written in (autoit3), anything more than a "Hello World!" message is flagged as a virus. This has been a running issue with autoit3 for years, and a quick internet search will show plenty of proof to that statement. A new KPF was made and is available from the KSE on Steam Workshop. There, you'll also find a download link if you just need the new KPF. Oh, and the filenames don't match because I had someone else update the KSE upload when my net wasn't cooperating for me to do so.

Move them to the main saves folder, edit them, and then move them back?

I haven't tried it, but I can say that you'd be missing the content on the Endar Spire and a lot of restored content on Taris...

Been there, done that... have fun! :|

I read earlier that they had used a KotOR head to start with, so I should think the skeleton and stuff is already there, no?

Yeah, your method will indeed work. Something went wrong when I tried disabling the space suit if you were using Major Hurka, and I later dropped the ball in the testing, so this incident wasn't found...

Not knowing anything about the situation, I sent sylv_o a PM last night suggesting a run through VP's HeadFixer, and awoke to a PM saying that they hadn't tried that, but would soon.

Or could it be like the old lightsaber thing where you had to go load a different level and flourish it?
