malak and bandon armor?

[abcdow]

I'm looking at modding some armor, and I really like the look of Malak and Bandon's (the version you see him wearing, not the version you take of his festering corpse). Is it possible to retexture the N_DarthBand01.tpc and N_DarthMalak01.tpc, then give them stats, from say (and not exactly) Qel Droma's Robes, and use say the icon for say the Star Forge robes?

If so, how would I go about naming the files so that they all coincide and work together?

Thanks

I almost forgot, I have some good tutorials so, I don't need to know how to retexture, or use the GFFEditor, I just need some clarification to the above questions, Thanks.

I'd realy like to help but the actual art of making unique items is still something I'm working on, but I can tell you trying to use Malak's isn't possible right now since his body and head is one model. Bandon's body and head are two different models so it is possible. I do know that Jackal put out a mod awhile back useing the mdl and mdx files for Bandon to make them scout clothes I do belive someone did put out a mod of Bandon's armor as robes like you're trying to do, do not let this stop you though, each person's work is great. The best I could tell you is check the Do you Want to mod SW-KotOR? Then Start here. thread. You will probably need a hex editor to mod the mdl file in order to have a different texture then the one Bandon alredy has. I hope this helped a little bit if not just ignore me and wait for a real modder to try to help you.
