The Missing Heads in TSL

[Sith Holocron 2,478]

In another thread, this was brought up.

 

... And the deadlystream link is for TSL which adds PMHC05 into the game (PMHC05 is actually buried in the game files for TSL) but with a very slightly different skin.

A question: what needs to be done by a player to actually see and use the "buried heads" in TSL?  

 

 

I'm so glad I kept these pictures before LucasForums came down. (I believe they were originally DarthParametric's work!)

 

Interestingly, the picture for PMHC05 seems to have a texture for it. I assume the untextured ones are amongst the "buried heads" - correct me if I'm wrong. Are any of the others with textures (besides PMHC05) also buried as well?

 

Here's another question as long as I have your attention - shall I assume someone has retextured the untextured ones by now?

 

Perhaps we should have a proper list all of these put up somewhere . . .

The same as any other head mod. Add appearance/heads/portraits.2da entries (where applicable - some already have the two former ones). And add textures and portraits as appropriate.

The URL should give you a hint....

That is everything there is, as I recall. Although possibly there are some mismatched K1 textures. It's been a while since I looked.

Never assume.

Then I request textures for the untextured heads above.

It should be noted that those are the model names. The way in which they map to available character selection are different in a couple of cases (some of the caucasian females for example).

Interesting. . .   I won't ask which ones as that would be a pain in the neck to put together to show.

This should be the order they appear in the game:

 

 

 

I wonder what the portrait guy was thinking. Flipped a coin on what direction they faced and what background to use?

I got to play as PMHC05 (K1 head) in TSL by renaming PMHC05.mdx and mdl files (Extracted from the TSL files) to PMHC07.mdx and PMHC07.mld. doing that changes the orange haired Caucasian male into PMHC05.I also have a few videos of PMHC05 in Kotor 2 using this way of getting it InGame

I should also mention a number of Revenge of Revan Demo heads actually reskin those missing texture heads so while they aren't the K1 style heads there new textures using the models.

This kinda reminds me of when I made myself a list of "What heads did Obsidian mess with that were K1 heads" a few years ago. I had the idea in mind mainly for if somebody wanted to try their hand at adding back a bunch of K1 heads to TSL (without doing the bad deed that begins with a P). I don't remember if I found ALL of them, but I found a good handful. Most of them were the Hidden Heads mentioned above.

 

Just checked and I still have this list... maybe I should post it?

Go ahead!

Posting in a spoiler format.

 

Current list from my old txt file froma few years ago. Format as follows:

K1 Head Code = TSL Head
 

 

 

 

A list of Heads that are or are close to the original K1 Player Character Heads.

Female Heads

PFHA01 = NPC "Luxa", In the Telos Cantina, Recolored Texture
PFHA02 = Hidden File, No Texture
PFHA05 = NPC "Taepalae", Edited
PFHC01 = NPC "Daraala", Edited
PFHC03 = Hidden File
PFHC04 = Hidden File


Male Heads

PMHA02 = Hidden Files
PMHA04 = Hidden Files, No Texture
PMHB01 = Hidden Files
PMHB02 = Hidden Files, No Texture
PMHB03 = Hidden Files
PMHB04 = Hidden Files, No Texture
PMHB05 = Hidden Files, No Texture
PMHC01 = NPC "B Modul", Edited/ TSL PMHC01A?
PMHC02 = Hidden Files
PMHC03 = NPC "Coorta", Edited
PMHC04 = TSL PMHH01, Edited
PMHC05 = NPC "Captain" (I forgot his name, but it's one of the captains on Onderon that uses this head)

 

 

 

Also when I have the note "Edited" next to the list, I mean model-wise and texture wise.

 

Reminder, this list is probably incomplete, but I might look back into comparing a bunch of the K1 head files (namely textures) with TSL head files.
