Bunk Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 After a year of lurking around here, you guys have inspired me to make something. I've never really seen an Aayla Secura mod that suited my tastes, so I decided to fiddle with one myself. It includes a reskinned head based off Twin Sun #2 and a slight reskin of her clothes. She's been created as a recruitable NPC thanks to the amazing tutorial here for adding NPCs (thankyou Darth333) She can be recruited by talking to Atton and telling him you want to ask some questions. She replaces HK - the mod seems to work better if he isn't in your party yet. This is very incomplete. I did mod appearance.2da so she can wear armor. Ive also just started fiddling with dialog. She currently has Mira's attached. Feel free to play around, let me know what you think of it. Please ask permission before using my skin.

Bunk Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 Here's a screenshot that might attract some interest: aayla.jpg A question toyou modders while I'm here - I couldn't find a list of what reference numbers to use when writing the script to replace a party member for TSL. I found out that HK was 5 by pure trial and error. Anyone have a list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Nice job on the mod, and nice skin, but I don't know if you know or not, but envida has also been working on a Aayla recruit mod: check here I think that if you combined the re-skins it would look very good, again nice job on the mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recomend not using disiple's or Hanharr's number aas there recruit script will require an additional line to set a global variable. But by the way it looks nice. I'm hoping the DL is corupt for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunk Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 Thanks for the encouragement Matt. Its appreciated, as that reskin did take a while. The game doesn't exactly throw out nice even easy to use UV maps. Trying to get those crisscrossing straps on her lekku to line up was an interesting challenge. Sorry about the bad zip, I should have tested it before I posted. I made it in winrar, dont know if thats why its giving problems, but if I can't fix it I'll repost it when I get home tonight.

Shadow Blaze Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Nice skin!! I just wish that it didn't replace HK but I can live with that, since, looking at the screen she can become jedi. Nice work, scratch that AMAZING work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunk Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 I'll try to get a working post of the mod up tonight. Currently she is set up as a Jedi Guardian, with stats based loosely off of stats I found for her for the SW RPG. I picked replacing HK, because he's the only non-manditory NPC. I did have some funny results where she would suddenly start doing HK's cutscenes on the Hawk, talking in HK's voice. As for the skin, I'm quite happy with it, though I think Im going to try to make the headpiece just a little bit darker and richer to better match the outfit. I'll post whatever I have done tonight as a WIP. I'll likely be adding some very basic dialog for her, using Twilek VO and lip synch, mainly just because I want some practice working with those systems.

That must have been both funny and slightly annoying when she started talking like HK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunk Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Ok, so there is now a new version on my site. Same link at the top should work. Please let me know if there are any problems with the zip. Recruit her by talking to Atton and telling him you just wanted to ask some questions. I added some very basic dialog and it seems to work fine. When I went to do the lipsynch and VO for the dialog, I was worried due to the really complex instructions on the tutorial page. The tutorial was for Kotor1 though, and the filenames made no sense with TSL. So I experimented a little and realized that doing VO/lipsynch was really quite easy. So for anyone like me who is still figuring this stuff out, here's what I did: I wanted a Twilek voice, so I found a couple Twilek wavs in the Streamvoice\AVO folder The two files I used in my dialog for Voicerefs were: avo_twilfquess1.wav avo_twilfhapyl3.wav Then, as suggested in the tutorial, I grabbed a .mod from the Lips folder, put it in the modules folder, and extracted a couple random .lip files in to Override. I renamed the two files: avo_twilfquess1.lip avo_twilfhapyl3.lip Worked perfectly, with the exception that one of the lip synchs is a little long and she keeps flapping her gums after she stops talking, but hey, Im happy.

Darkkender Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Wow all of those changes and fixes sound great. I'll DL my copy shortly and see if it is corupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put something in your readme about her being a bad foreign actor whos lines were translated in to english and thats why she keeps moving her mouth Definately a nice looking skin. Are you going to make some armour just for her to wear that shows off her skin? not like a near nude skin but armour with say arms bare or something like Miras outfit.

It works best if your asian as those are the most frequently bad dubbed movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunk Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Actually Jackel, thats what Ive been looking at tonight. I just figured out some different methods of using different models for armor. She looked quite silly wearing Revans robes with half of her head sticking out the back. I did however manage to make a Heavy Combat suit appear to look like the other Twin Sun's clothing when she wears it. Its an idea Im toying with. If it works the way I think it would, certain normal armors in the game would have their own unique looks just for her. A light combat suit for example might look like normal on Handmaiden, but would look like Miras Jacket on Aayla, with a custom texture. It'll take a while, but we'll see. This project is really all about experimenting and learning for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
