Item and Model Trouble

[Fearless_Jedi]

Is it possible to change the model that goes with a certain item and just that item.

 

I am trying to change the Dark Jedi Master robes into the Sith Master/Governor Robes but I cant do it without messing up the rest of the robes that use the same model....is there a way to change the base model that a certain item uses through scripting.....it is the only way I haven't tried.

what your going to want to start with is creating a new baseitems.2da entry for the item.

 

you will need to edit your uti files outside of kotor tool with a outside gff editor once you change the baseitems reference.

 

the rest of the information covered by Redhawke in your other thread should be applied. If I can I'll try to come up with some more comprehensive instructions later. but if somebody else beats me to it great.

Depending on how complicated you try to get, all you should need is Kotor Tool and a good hex editor.

 

If you're trying to make a custom robe based on the existing model/texture, then extract the model that you're basing the item on.

 

Use the hex editor to change the texture references in the model to the texture that you're going to use.

 

Then use KT to create an item with your new model reference in the .uti.

 

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure that sums up what you need to do. I hope that helps.

Hello,

 

Use the hex editor to change the texture references in the model to the texture that you're going to use.

 

Don't forget that the latest version of MDLOps has the ability to rename textures in a model.

Thanks Guys I appreciate it but does anyone have a tutorial or just some basic info on how to use a hex editor.....mainly what files(File string-ex: .mdl) that it edits.

If you only want to change the texture for a model use the renamer function in mdlops 0.4.1 http://home.comcast.net/~cchargin/kotor/index.html
