This pack contains two major elements. First, images for use as icon files,

depicting one (blue) Jedi holocron and one Sith holocron.

 

Second, it contains two placeable files and accompanying textures, for one

(blue) Jedi holocron and one Sith holocron, on pedestals.

 

There are versions of these models for KotOR I and KotOR II.

 

N.B.: This is not a mod. Placing these files in your Override folder

on their own will have no effect on your game whatsoever.

 

Permissions

You may use and modify these files however you wish in any mod that you wish, with

three conditions:

 

First, you must credit me in the Readme file or other mod descriptions

(i.e., TSLPatcher info.rtf, or the file description online) as the original author

of these files.

 

Second, you must include a copy of this readme file with any mod released containing

any or all of these resources.

 

Third, that you may not reupload these files, unaltered and on their own, to

any website without my expressed, written permission. This does not mean you

need my permission to include them in a mod, or to upload modified versions,

I just don't want this modder's resource mirrored all over the web

without my knowledge.

 

Known Bugs/Issues

- The Sith holocron pedestal has some UV map issues.

Attempts to fix this only broke the holocron model itself.

This may be a dumb question, but how do I get these to show in game? 

[InSidious 237]

You'll need to alter placeables.2da . The simplest way would be to choose a placeable listed in the .2da, and replace the entry in the modelname column with the name of either of the models included here, minus the .mdl ending (then save the .2da and put it in your Override, of course ).  This is a straight replacement, so if you altered, say, the computer panel placeable, and replaced its model with that of the Sith holocron, then all the computers using that model in game would like like Sith holocrons.

 

The other alternative is to make a new row in placeables.2da, with the new model in the modelname slot (i.e., plc_holocron), then to create a new placeable in-game with the appearance slot in the .utp editor set to your new row. Then you need to either spawn the placeable by scripting, or edit a module so that it appears in it.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
