Editing the static map?

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to edit the static maps (where objects are placed)? Would it be possible to add detail to it, or make e.g mountain (or whatever other 3D objects they made on them) have more polygons? Is it something that could be loaded into Blender and then edited from there? 

I did a big mod for Gothic where i added mountains and a few other additional details to the maps (grass planes etc), maybe it would be possible to do for KOTOR.. For Gothic (completely different engine, i know) you loaded the entire 3D map layout into Blender.

You can do the same in KMax and KBlender by loading a LYT (layout file) which will load and arranged all the individual room models.

Sounds great, will give it a shot. 

Is there a good reference page when it comes to naming, like what LYT name refers to which map and so forth?

Thanks

They use the module name same as the room models. For example, in K1 "M01AA" is the Endar Spire Command Module, so you have m01aa.lyt, m01aa.vis, m01aa_01a.mdl/mdx/wok, m01aa_02a.mdl/mdx/wok, etc. TSL follows the same format with a slightly different naming convention, e.g. 001EBO, 301NAR, etc.

LYTs are in layouts.bif, VIS (visibility, determines which rooms are visible from each other) are in lightmaps.bif,  and models and walkmeshes (WOK for area models) are in models.bif. This is the same in both games.

The fork of KBlender by seedhartha can load binary models directly, so there's no need to go to/from ASCII as is the case with KMax. It also has a pretty handy batch lightmapping function.

As to a full list of module names, there's probably one around somewhere. My own local copy:
