heyorange90 Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Hi guys! Some time ago i started to make different textures for each robe for the k1.When i made 3/4 of it Kainzorus Prime and Darth DeadMan mod came out and Wow! I understood i should start from scretch) So let me explain what i am doing There are 16 (!) robes in the game (aside from Revan robes). And they have only 4 textures: 01. Jedi Robe (Brown) 02 Dark Jedi Robe (Black) 03 Jedi Robe (Red) 04 Jedi Robe (Blue) 05 Dark Jedi Robe (Black) 06 Qel-Drome robe (Brown) 07 Jedi Knight Robe (Brown) 08 Dark Jedi Knight Robe (Black) 09 Jedi Knight Robe (Red) 10 Jedi Knight Robe (Blue) 11 Dark Jedi Knight Robe (Black) 12 Jedi Master (Brown) 13 Dark Jedi Master (Black) 14 Jedi Master (Red) 15Jedi Master (Blue) 16 Dark Jedi Master (Black) So You see. 16 robes, but in fact when i was playing the game the first time i thought there are only 4 because of the textures) And now i realized i should make individual reskin and name for each robe: 01. Jedi Robe 02. Sith Apprentice Robe 03. Yellow Jedi Robe 04. Brown Jedi Robe 05. Sith Marauder Robe 06. Qel-Droma Robe 07. Jedi Knight robe 08. Sith Assassin Robe 09. Norris Robe 10. Matukai Apprentice Robe 11. Sith Warrior Robe 12. Jedi Master Robe 13. Sith Inquisitor Robe 14. Ossus Keeper Robe 15. Matukai Adept Robe 16. Sith Berserker Robe Of course each robe has it's custom icon! In the Jedi Anclave: Belaya is using Jedi Knight Robe Dorak, Vrook, Jhar are using Jedi Master Robe Juhani is using Brown Jedi robe Nemo is using Yellow Jedi Robe Other Jedis are wearing Jedi Robe, Brown Jedi robe and Yellow Jedi Robe (i just replaced the textures in the Kainzorus Prime mod here) At the moment i am trying to replace robes for korriban sith students So if Kainzorus Prime will give me his permission and some of You guys want it, i wiil upload it here when i'm done) Robes 09, 10, 13, 14, 16 are using original mod textures (i only made them a little brighter), others are retextured by me So here are the screenshots: 01. Jedi Robe 02. Sith Apprentice Robe 03. Yellow Jedi Robe 04. Brown Jedi Robe 05. Sith Marauder Robe 06 Qel-Drome robe (Brown) Here are the second grade robes: 07. Jedi Knight robe 08. Sith Assassin Robe 09. Norris Robe 10. Matukai Apprentice Robe 11. Sith Warrior Robe Here are the third grade robes: I made colour of the Jedi master robe close to the Movie-style Jedi Master robes for K2 by DeadMan 12. Jedi Master Robe 13. Sith Inquisitor Robe 14. Ossus Keeper Robe 15. Matukai Adept Robe 16. Sith Berserker Robe And of course i should playthrough the game a least once to understand where all this robes will pop-up (i don't remember all the places) Quote
Squall Lionhart Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Very nice work, I do have one request though. Is there anyway I could convice you to do Anakin, Mace's and Obi-Wan's robes for tunics? Quote
heyorange90 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Posted April 12, 2014 Maybe later, when i finish this mod Quote
Kainzorus Prime Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 You do have permission to go ahead with this. 1 Quote
L0ki194 Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 I like these! Especially the Jedi Master Robes. I never understood why BioWare decided to have 16 different robes but only 4 textures for them. I'd like to one day see the robes from the Brotherhood of Shadow mod on these models. Quote
Quanon Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Hohoho, some nice textures there! I love you can see the fabrics; though one issue, mind this is just my opinion. On the brown robes I think the contrast is just a bit to strong towards the belts it goes to black. It's hard to believe you would get such hard shadows on clothes. Well only perhaps at night and in the desert Allthough screenshots can be deceiving. Quote
heyorange90 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Posted April 13, 2014 Quanon, Thank You for your opinion. I'll keep it in mind! Small update Renamed Sith Apprentice Robe into Sith Robe and made compatibility with robes korriban sith students mod by Shem So, there were some problems with the original mod and Ыруь mod. By using this 2 mods together the new robe model has female characters, Now it's fixed, but if you gonna use this fix, you'll have to manually change 2 lines in the appearance.2da (because i don't know how to make self-installer). I will write detailed instruction how to do it when mod is released (it's very simple actually, but will require kotor tool to do it) This is because of appearance of Shaardan and Twi-lek sith thug. (so it's not critical if you won't do this, just not eye-candy)) ) I didn't change lashowe friends and one of the sith thugs because in the Shem's mod there are only few models with the robe (Sith in the uniform are used not only on korriban as sith's but as soldiers for example on manaan and other planets). So i tried to avoid clone effect) Well... maybe i will change sith teacher's into dark jedi (because at the moment they are 3 black women in 1! room). At least they will be in masks And of course some screens... Shaardan Yuthura Sith thugs Lashowe and friends Mekel Quote
Jorak Uln Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 @heyorange90: Wow, it looks very good so far! Im glad there are guys who give these robes the much needed facelift!! Since im a newbie to modding im not in the position to give you special advise for your work - but theres one of Xarwarz`tools i recently discovered that maybe is overlooked a bit: Its called "Genetica 4.0" http://www.spiralgraphics.biz/index.htm and its absolutely amazing: with just a few clicks you can give your textures a whole new design from the scratch. And the best part: You can actually animate textures! Maybe this could provide your robes a little bit extra?? Anyway, im really lookin forward to your release.. 1 Quote
heyorange90 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Posted April 19, 2014 I don't know if i'll use Genetica 4.0, but anyway thanks ! At the moment i'm checking the robe placement and making playthrough Mod will consist 3 parts: 1) Only robe reskins (with vanilla drop) 2) Reskins for Jedi NPCs 3) Korriban sith students robe fix 4) Robe placement Quote
Quanon Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 The Korriban scenes look epic with your robes: its huge change for the good. Certainly love the red on the Yuthura and academy masters robes ( name escapes). Looking forward to more updates on this Genetica looks interesting, though never count on a program to do all the work for you. Recently I found FilterForge, a similar program to Genetica. I tried it out, but didn't use it in the end. As these computer generated textures just don't mix up well with photos I often use to base my textures on. IMHO. Quote
Jorak Uln Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Though i havent used Filter Forge i can assure you, Genetica is amazing. I think its biggest strength lies in retexturing from the scratch, animating textures and really endless "customization." Xarwarz used this program in his retextures - it easily shrugs off 3-4 years from the old engine. Im very much new to modding, but with this tool i remade some gui elements very easily from the scratch: Vanilla head: http://s1.directupload.net/images/140422/8c8voen7.jpg Modded: http://s1.directupload.net/images/140422/ffbficaf.jpg Vanilla Party icon: http://s14.directupload.net/images/140422/4kjkbmi3.jpg Modded Party: http://s14.directupload.net/images/140422/zyrb35cr.jpg What i found very interesting is this advanced tutorial about making a scifi texture, things like this i would love to see in Kotor I+II... http://www.spiralgraphics.biz/offsite_images/How%20to%20Make%20a%20Sci-Fi%20Texture.pdf Quote
Squall Lionhart Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Hope all is still good with this mod, since its been a while. Quote
heyorange90 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 Well, just don't have much time for it lately. Anyway i will try ti find some time to finish it) Quote
heyorange90 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 If Imperial officer outfit without insignia and pens was ported to Kotor 1 Admiral Saul could look like this (i rrecoloured Kainzorus Prime's ported model and colour rank insignia and pens with black) 1 Quote
EnderWiggin91 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 What is the status of this mod? This looks exactly like something I've been looking for for quite a while! I'm very new to modding, but I'd love to help work on it a bit if I could. Quote
heyorange90 Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 [Mod-Note: Please do not double- (or in this case, triple-) post. See the Site Rules, Rule 8, Section 6 and its supplementary thread.] Good News, everyone. I'm back. I had little time for the mod, sorry for that. My plans are: 1. Install kotor with K1R 2. Walkthrough + completing mod as the same time As i remember, i had several thoughts what stats should robes have. I will make a stats table first. The problem is, i want to make robes unique and not overpowered. But at the same time player should have time to wear each of time, otherwise if they will drop too soon they will confuse or they will stay in the inventory for eternity. Edit 1: Welll, there was an idea to combine robes requirements with Sense feat Original Feats: On which lvl Sense feat grants Jedi Robes Sith Robes Neutral Robes Edit 2: It looks like Malaks Unique Apprentices 1.0 by Kexikus works very well with new robes Quote
Fair Strides Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 That's pretty interesting, man. So, what will the feats do for the robes, or am I reading this wrong? Quote
Mutilator57 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 There is some great stuff in this thread. I especially like the new Saul reskin, never had a taste for that mess of a texture that was his old uniform. Keep up the good work Quote
heyorange90 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Posted July 10, 2015 That's pretty interesting, man. So, what will the feats do for the robes, or am I reading this wrong? Main idea was to make a restrictions to the robes according to their grades. But then i realized that there is big difference between player and other party npcs levels. So it won't work as i want =/ Quote
Circa Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I hope you're going to give credit to HapSlash for those textures and models. They are Jedi Academy models. 1 Quote
ChrisC26 Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 This mod looks great. Could you possibly do new versions of the robes introduced in the Brotherhood of Shadow Solomon's Revenge mod? Perhaps require that mod to be installed first if you can't get permission from Silveredge Quote
heyorange90 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Posted July 18, 2015 I hope you're going to give credit to HapSlash for those textures and models. They are Jedi Academy models. Definitely i will. Haps Obi and Anakin were my favorite models mods for Jedi Academy) This mod looks great. Could you possibly do new versions of the robes introduced in the Brotherhood of Shadow Solomon's Revenge mod? Perhaps require that mod to be installed first if you can't get permission from Silveredge You mean without Brotherhood of Shadow Solomon's Revenge mod itself ? Or you want me to make new textures for them, cause robe model is different ? 1 Quote
ChrisC26 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I guess sorta like reimagine the textures he did for those robes but on your newer/modified model. Quote
Golselect Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Hello heyorange90, I sent you a PM, if you could answer it would be fantastic Quote
