MdKnightR Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 A thought just occurred to me tonight. Would it be possible (or legal for that matter) for someone to concoct a mod that would give you a choice of stature? What I mean is, would it be possible, during character creation, to choose to be as tall as Malak or nearly as short as Yoda but still being human? I think it would be cool to play a female character that was Amazonian in stature. I imagine that it would take a bit of expertise in both modeling and scripting to get it to work. Any thoughts?

General Kenobi Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hey man I'll venture a probable answer. NO! All kidding aside I see what your talking about and from what I can tell a model is a model in that respect. It would be kewl though to have tiny party members and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkkender Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Well it could be possible in a somewhat limeted way. If you wanted the size adjusted for different PC's depending on there class. Such as making the guardians the tallest then the sentinaels stay the same and the counslers are shorter. Or if you just wanted to tweak specific characters to be taller or shorter. It's actually relatively easy the adjustments would be made in appearance.2da. However there are some limitations. The game will allow only small adjustments not major adjustments. Some general principals of 3D game modeling is actually used quite heavily in the KOTOR series. You have your base model then through the use of an array of pre-defined values(your 2da) you can give your base model the appearance of a greater or lesser size by having a 3D calculas algorithim grab the model and the array data and recompute and display your model on the screen. These same algorithims are used with other factors in the animation aspect to give your model the appearance of being farther away as you run or walk forward in a 3rd person perspective view. Sorry got off on a tangent there can anybody guess what Darkkender has been doing when noit working on the Holowan Plugin or testing it. That's right I've been studying 3D game programming on my own.
