That seriously sucks to hear. Hoping for a rapid recovery.

They sound good. By the way, are you planning to use both your longer treatments and K1 originals alongside eachother, or is your plan for a full replacement?

I'm of the weird camp that didn't notice the difference between T3 in Kotor 1 and 2. Is there an example somewhere of the comparison?

Yeah, I've only ever used Kotortool to extract textures and in rare occasions, generic models like vehicles for example, so I only know very specific places to find the assets. It's funny that just focusing on one specific thing every time creates these misconceptions such as mine where there was only one place to find a filetype.

Turns out I didn't realize there are other BIF file folders with their own models in Kotortool. For some reason I assumed "Models.bif" was the only one containing MDL files..

(For anyone following, the folder I was looking for was "Player.bif")

Additionally, there are other filetypes than just MDL files such as scripts and GUI in the other BIFs, so I believe they are actually just a generic storage format that I just happened to know contain the models. There's probably a tutorial somewhere that I missed which explains BIF file format in detail, but I guess I missed it..

Thanks for the tip! I appreciate the info and I will continue to post as I learn new things to hopefully demystify these files for laymen such as myself.

I appreciate the tips. I've noticed lately that I've been using a combination of filters for the most dramatic effect on making textures and so it made logical sense to start utilizing tools with a similar approach (Although with more control). 

More the "Don't make everything from scratch" button. Not quite as elusive and allows me to make art without using the digital equivalent of fingerpaints.

From what I understood, XnView saved files in an inverted or I guess flipped orientation by design, so rather than being saved incorrectly, they were being saved into its weird proprietary format.

Do you happen to have a guide on what needs to be dialed where in Blender? I tried baking new lighting into the Citadel Station module, but it never quite worked (Constant infinite loop when I tried to bake). I would love to see what that module could look like in game.

Darth Parametric answered it in this thread, I believe. 

The gist is, yes it may boost some performance but it would be minimal since modern systems can handle any overhead already.

Happy Atton Day!

You could tell me that this was in the base game, and without any exaggeration I would believe you.

Yeah, those look the same as the terms I read. I copied them into the clipboard, but I don't want to bloat the chat.

Well, there is a precedent for this, The Animatrix, but it's fairly old (for many people) so I don't know if many remember it. I find it ironic that everyone says Disney is "targeting the anime crowd" when anime multimedia events were somewhat common back then, and every part of this looks like the Animatrix did. 

One thing I can say is, if the directors of each episode is anything close to what I saw before, we should be in for some truly unique and visually stunning takes on Star Wars as a mythos.

If it's a character texture like the Mandalorian armor, try opening Appearance.2da and changing the **** to "CM_Baremetal" in the "envmap" section.

You could also try making a TXI file with "envmaptexture CM_Baremetal" typed into it with Notepad. (Same name as the TGA file with .txi instead)

@DarthParametric Not if I can help it.

Unsurprising and hardly unexpected. There's a reason in some courts there is such a standard as "Innocent until proven guilty".

Whenever people say, "You support X person? Haven't you heard what they did?" I always ask, "Do you have proof?" and then change the subject.

The fact that one spiteful rumor can completely ruin someone's career and their impression by society is a troubling systemic issue especially present in the Gaming industry.

It's counterintuitive to just downvote something without giving reasons for the criticism. 

Clearly some people dislike the mod on a fundamental level, so I'd personally like to know why.

Personally I'm avoiding as many Omnibuses as I can, as Marvel gets the proceeds and I refuse to support them after what they did to Dark Horse. (The people who actually made them)

Indeed. I understand wanting to continue a mod that you perceive has been abandoned, but at the very least respect the author enough to ask their permission when you do so.

This also becomes important when you don't understand what the author's original plans were or exactly how the mod originally functioned. 

I see. So the situation has changed and people aren't getting the memo.. (Especially since you can't control which version they reupload, and it's a lot harder to address bugs that way)

Seriously, would it be so hard to send a message and ask for permission first?

Plus, of all of the modders, they chose the one who is still active on this site..

The Ewoks were originally going to be Wookies. (It was also quoted of Lucas that "Ewok" is literally the reverse of "Wookie") While I enjoyed those scenes, imagine that entire fight with hundreds of Wookie warriors.. 

I feel that this is partially substantial, but I also just found out that Alan Dean Foster was the one who wrote the Star Wars A New Hope novel (Which had surprisingly decent writing and of which I had been crediting to Lucas' ability).. That said, the entire story was still his idea that Foster was able to translate into some very interesting backstory.

Star Wars was sort of an accident, but George Lucas did have a way with finding off-the-wall stuff and combining them in entertaining ways. (Just don't use his ideas in their original form..)

Filefront and Lucasforums had some time to prepare for. They probably figured they'd get similar warning instead of something like the server room literally burning down.

It does hold a bit of a message though.. back up your information if you can, because it could all disappear overnight no matter how secure you think it is.
