Scarab23 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Hi, I'm new to modding KOTOR but I've had some modding expierence modding other games. This is a little project of mine to add playable zabraks to the game. Since we can't model new heads (AFAIK) I figured I'd use the head equipment slot to make horns. I used the aural amplifier mesh as a reference and then offset the horns so they would fit on the character's head. They function as if they were a part of the characters head, except they have to be equipped in the head slot. Here's the screenshots. (The first zabrak is based on the Star Wars Galaxies concept, which is a little more human looking than darth maul.) Zabrak01 Zabrak02 Dath Maul01 Darth Maul02 I haven't figured out 2da editing yet, so right now they actually replace the aural amp item. But if there's interest I'll try to finish a couple more models and release a non-replacing version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono_Giganto Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 That's pretty good, but to make it unique all you have to do is change the model variation and then hex edit the model accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarab23 Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 Doh I'm confused, I thought I needed a uti file and all that junk? Could you explain the procedure for editing the model? I'm familar with hex editing but is there a specific string I need to change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svösh Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Ok extract any mask uti in the numvar slot change it to 58 or something to help matters name it something easy in the Template res ref and the tag ex: horns Back in 3d click the aroura base and change the name to I_Mask_058. Then assign your custom texture in gmax/ max to the model no need to hex a model when you’re the one building it all your missing is an icon image so open an existing one copy it, edit it, and rename it. So it fallows your magic number of 58 your icon name should be ii_mask_058.tga [ this number is just for this example ] but as far as I know no one has used that number yet so it will also be compatible with others mods. When your done drop all 5 files in override in the game open consol and type the name of your uti like giveitem horns hope this helps svösh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkkender Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I must say I'm impressed. You know this gives me an idea to see if we can't apply a item in one of the hidden item slots that provides the change that a mask does. If it can be done then instead of having it planted in the main slot you can have zabraks that use masks even. Of course the second part would also need seperate disguise properties. Now I understand that we can't make "NEW" head models but can't we make alterations to the existing heads attached to the body now? If that can be done then you wouldn't have to have an item slot taken up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoM Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Are you sure that you figured that out? Xavier2 did the same thing earlier here However, the more horns we get, the better Not every Zabrak has the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade Angel Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Very Nice! Any idea when theyre going to be released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarab23 Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 K, I made new uti's for each set of horns and they no longer replace anything. I have 5 horns modeled, 2 that fit the black bald head and 2 on the asian, plus a Darth Maul style that fits Zhoken's texture. Once I finish the textures on the faces I'll post screens. I think I still have to figure out how to edit a new Heads.2da before I can release them otherwise they'll replace the old heads. And it will prolly be a few days before I get to that since its the 23rd and I still don't have my xmas shopping done! Koshir0: Another good site for info is The unofficial Star Wars encyclopedia Piece of Metal: I just found out KOTOR was moddable like last week, so I had no idea if anyone had done something like this, its just something I figured out for myself. I've seen some of Xavier's work though it looks awesome. Looks like he and a couple moddelers have figured out how to get entire new clothing / amor meshes in the game, so we're all in for some cool new stuff.

We'll see if you two guys can make those mods compatible, we need horns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
