[KotOR] Manaan - Restoring man in EnvSuit

[Salk]

Hello!

I checked the man28_sur2.dlg and noticed how he originally should have started inside the base (manm28aa) rather than on the ocean floor (manm28ab) so I thought of restoring that but I am encountering an issue. The .utc file uses appearance 181 (EnviromentSuit_01) which produces breathing bubbles going up. This is all fine and dandy in the ocean but doesn't look good inside.

Any advice that is not just about giving him other clothes? It would be a shame to give up on this restoration just because of that.

Thanks!

Update about my own topic, just in case anyone is curious.

Thanks to @Alvar007 who gave me a very sensible advice, this encounter is now restored and part of my local project. The second part of this will be tweaking the dialogue spoken when on the ocean floor, adding a trigger and restoring the never spoken line: "Come on, what's taking you so long? We have to cross the ocean floor to reach the buildings that lead to the kolto harvester."
