  1. Bioware TGA to DDS Converter

    View File

    This is the orignal tool made by bioware to create a kotor-compatible dds, please see the .doc for instructions. (it wasn't mentioned there but the TGA must be square, and a power of 2 (256x256,512x512,1024x1024,2048x2048 etc.) in resolution)

    NOTE: this tool is one way only, tga>dds it doesn't do the reverse. FORUM DISCUSSION HERE


     


  2. KOTOR Font Tool (NWN Font Maker)

    View File

    I take no credit/responsibility for this tool. you will need to generate and rename files for a complete font-set.

    Title NWN Font Maker Author Richard O'Doherty-Gregg Submitted / Updated 08-01-2002 / 08-02-2002 Category Other Expansions NWN - 1.29 or lower Description This is a small application for creating custom font files to replace the conversation font in NWN. It allows you to select a TrueType font, size and style from your system and then generates the TGA and TXI file required. You then copy these files to the override directory to use them (simply delete them from the override directory to go back to the originals). The Offset fields included are for tweaking the look of the fonts. You may have to play with them a bit to get it looking just right (depends on the font) but the default values work for most fonts (around 16 point at least). The zip also includes the TGA and TXI files of a sample font (Tempus). It is a .NET Framework application so you will need to have the framework installed (available from windows update). I have only tested this on Windows XP, but it may work on any windows that supports .NET framwork.

    I felt that uploading this here is appropriate, seeing as the original nwvault is down (where this file was originally uploaded)


     


  3. Bit of a necro I know, just wanted to say, love your work and was wondering whatever happened to your G0-T0 Overhaul mod?

    unfortunately modding has been put on the side burner for me atm, but the g0-t0 mod had some game breaking issues on malacor that i need to iron out before i re upload it :) Thanks for the compliment!


  4. Great, thanks for the advice!

     

    Just out of curiousity, do you get any lag on the opening loading screen with your HD Nihilus MOD:

    http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/367-darth-sapiens-presents-hd-darth-nihilus/

     

    It's a fantastic re-skin, just noticed it takes about 4-5 seconds before the loading screen comes up (when it's Nihilus being displayed on the opening screen).

    How high is the resolution on these textures? Doesn't seem to happen anywhere else, and it hasn't taken anything away from game play experience - nothing freezes, crashes. 

    i'll be re-uploading it and several other of my hd skins in dds, this reduces lag tremendously.


  5. if you do end up going all out resolution-wise, I recommend converting it to a dds, seeing as tga is highly inefficient, ill be uploading a tool for this shortly, you put your tga in one folder (the dimensions must be a power of 2 as noted above) and it converts it to a bioware dds.


  6. hmmm... I like where this thread is going. I've done design work for some time and I'd be willing to work on stuff for free. a front end site would be great, and we are out of touch, for some reason it took me years to find out these games were being modded.

    edit: I'm also available to design an original logo, (that can be IP of the site, or Creative Commons etc.)

    hey guys, so I used Deadman's amazing sion model (http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/172-modders-resourse-tfu-style-darth-sion-model/) which he released as a modders resource, so without him, I doubt I would have been able to produce this mod, so thanks Deadman :) if you do use this mod at all in your own work please give credit for me, and dead man, and link to this page, ( other than that, my usual policy applies, no profit and your ok)

     

    of course the usual disclaimers apply,

     

    ps. from now on all my textures are going to be in dds, for effectiveness. these included.

    so here is the HD visas part of my ongoing texture project series, I desired to maintain the vanilla "look", but with much higher quality textures, I feel I have sufficiently achieved this, (i took a little liberty on the dark side transitions, but they are definitely not "movie style")

     

    the usual disclaimers apply, and of course you don't need my permission to reuse this, as long as it's not for profit.

  9. visas is done, (yayyy!) next should be sion, his look will be like it is now, I don't plan on making drastic changes to the texture, (just have to give his boots a bit of a polish and work out the shades of black, skin colour etc.

    here are some in-game screenshots :)

    the body is pretty much done, but from the neck up I've not done anything yet. one on the left is pure vanilla, the right, my repainted/textured/2Kified version. trying to stay close to vanilla with her, unlike sion/t3 (i started those long ago)
