Maxstate Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 OK, im back so lets get started . First i wanted to say that my time away has given me a fresh new look on the subject meaning im gonna do things a bit differently. My problem was that i was not only altering the color of the blade but also the blades size and shape which wasnt my plan. Ill be starting over on purple and red and you have my word they are gonna be great Now, tasks: -Blue = done -Green = done -Red = done -Purple = done -Yellow = done -Silver = NTD -Veridian = NTD -Cyan = NTD Now i have to go to work but ill be in touch, expect new screenshots this time tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxstate Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Well red is done, im not totally satisfied but if i start doing a lot of details i ruin it. So here we go: Old: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/Maxstate/K2_00090.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/Maxstate/K2_00073.jpg New: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/Maxstate/K2_00089.jpg it looks awful EDIT!: Purple is done : Old: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/Maxstate/purp_old.jpg New: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/Maxstate/purp_new1.jpg Close up-detail: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/Maxstate/purp_new2.jpg Much thanks goes to Chainz.2da for teaching me about Alphas.

JedI_XtRmIsT Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 1st purple looks much improved 2nd your "mod" of the red looks almost identical to the original but keep at it saber blade colors are a pain to get rite on the first try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxstate Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Yeah im aware of this, but as you can see its only the blade that looks identical. Im not going to do anything with it, the colors are gonna be in a pack > dont like the color? dont use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Much thanks goes to Chainz.2da for teaching me about Alphas. Im gonna start on Purple right away. What do you guys think? Looks great man! Glad I could be of help... however, where's those Green saber screenies?!? me likey green sabers! me likey green sabers!.. hehehe and the idea about releasing a Color Pack is a good idea. Having a choice is always a good option to include. Please the masses and you don't have to worry much of insurrection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxstate Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 I wanted to start on green today but im having this stupid headache, i cant concentrate on anything . I took an aspirine and im gonna take a little nap, as soon as its over im startin on green and thanks for the inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxstate Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Scrap the headache remarks! I couldnt stand seeing the collection not having a green saber yet, so in all my pain i made one I dont know if this is the final product but as i said when i begin working details i **** up plainly said, so here: Old green: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/Maxstate/K2_00100.jpg New green: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/Maxstate/K2_00097.jpg At least i made the core a personal entity now, you couldnt divide it from the glow. I made that more realistic. Remarks are welcomed for the next half hour and then im going off to sleep Edit: Look towards the emitter, you can see the change the best there. Im getting a feeling that these changes may be too subtle ... Anyone have some sort of temporary file upload site so i can put these ones up for people to try? Jpeg screenies cant show you how they look ingame as good as the real thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxstate Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Sorry for being inactive the last few days, ive had a lot on my mind/to do. I had a question: Someone told me how all the lsabre files were called but i deleted the PM/forgot... so can someone list them please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Sorry for being inactive the last few days, ive had a lot on my mind/to do. I had a question: Someone told me how all the lsabre files were called but i deleted the PM/forgot... so can someone list them please? w_lsabreblue01.tga - Blue w_lsabreDgrn01.tga - Veridian w_lsabregold01.tga - Orange w_lsabregren01.tga - Green w_lsabrepurp01.tga - Violet w_lsabrered01.tga - Red w_lsabreSilv01.tga - Silver w_lsabreturq01.tga - Cyan w_lsabreyelo01.tga - Yellow With KotOR Tool, you should be able to extract them from here: Kotor II > ERFs > TexturePacks > swpc_tex_tpa.erf > W Don't forget the .txi files though if you make it a custom color. Just open notepad and copy this into it: blending additive decal 1 Save in ANSI format (use the "Save As.." option) and name the .txi file the same name as your color...using the .txi extension rather than .tga.. ie - w_lsabrered01.tga w_lsabrered01.txi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxstate Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Thanks Chainz, Do i really need the txi files because the colors work without them And till now i havent been forced to extract anything because of my super secret copying method hehe.

TheOssusKeeper Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 it would be nice to see a real bronze colored saber... however, getting the actual bronze look might be pretty tough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxstate Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Bronze? You mean the brown/yellowish/reddish stuff? Well i could add it as i already was planning some extras in the pack. Would you like a darker or lighter bronze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Do i really need the txi files because the colors work without them Only if you plan on it being a custom color, and you've named it differently than the standard game's name Just remember, if you save your color files using the game's names.. it will overwrite ALL of the saber's colors in-game. So unless that's what you intend to do (and there's nothing wrong with it)... just keep it in mind. Be sure to "warn" folks as well if this is what your mod will wind up doing ** note - if you do wind up making it a unique custom color, you'll need to make appropriate short, regular and double-sabers to accomodate them (preferably with entries in the upcrystals.2da as well)...

TheOssusKeeper Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 well maybe a medium bronze, something differ. then the orange or red, maybe a little more brownish, cause the bronze crystal that is Not used in the game refers to the orange blade color... if you could make an actual bronze and link it to the proper crystal (#10 Bronze, i think) that would be cool...

Maxstate Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hmm... I have absolutley no experience what so ever with kotor tool, i was thinking about just making the bronze a seperate orange. Then ill have 2 files overwriting the orange one and you can put one in at a time. Ill make the color and further modification by individuals will be allowed so, yeah. IDK, maybe ill even end up learning ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOssusKeeper Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Here is my version of the Bronze Colored Saber, if anyone wants it, PM me your email and I'll email it to you... it looks a bit dark (dark brownish) but when in game it looks much better... http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/4527/bronzesaber17fp.jpg http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/4121/bronzesaber25xa.jpg it's just the w_lsabrebrnz01.tga file... i don't have it linked to anything yet...

Maxstate Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 OK Yellow is finished!

Comments are welcome Update: Ive made some subtle changes to green that really come out when you play and walk. The screenshots im gonna post may look the same as the original but they are not, take my word for it ^_^.
