Taran Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I was playing KOTOR on my XBox, and my xbox went kaputz. So, I traded that version in and got the PC version. Since I had played about twenty hours of the game on the xbox, I had a friend give me a save game right around where I was. My question is, is there anyway to change the character model that he used to another one? I am sure it can't be too difficult. If someone could point me to or give me instructions, that would be awesome. Thanks! Taran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Kitty Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Hmm.. there's a few ways that come to mind... 1. You could extract all the model and texture files for the model you want to use to the override folder, and rename them with the names of the texture and model files for the one the save is already using. This would simply cause the game to treat both models as the same - since you've overriden all the files for one with the other. 2. You could extract appearance.2da, portraits.2da, and heads.2da to the override folder and edit them, finding the values for the model and appearance you want to use, and putting them in the apropriate rows corresponding to the one you are using now. This would do basically the same as above, except it would take up less space and it would do it in a slightly different way. 3. You could probably hex edit the data files in the save folder, changing your selections there. The KotOR Save Editor on the sticky post MAY be able to do this, I haven't actually had a chance to really have a look at it though. Anyways... yes, it can be done. But without knowing which model you use now and which one you want instead, it's fairly hard for me to be any more specific. I'd say check the save editor first if the suggestions above don't sound clear. If that doesn't work, maybe you can provide screen shots showing which two heads you want to work with (the one you use now and the one you want instead) and maybe I could be more helpful. -Kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taran Posted March 10, 2004 Author Share Posted March 10, 2004 I want to make the character a scout and use the 9th male character model/portrait. Currently, the pc is a scoundrel and uses the 4th male character model/portrait. I have no idea how to create or edit 2da files, so if there is a way to edit my save with a hex editor, that would be great. If not, some info on editing 2da files would also be awesome.
