Slipstreme Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Well for starters probably Avols okay to do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Kavar Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I believe the easiest way would be just to replace Nihilus' appearance with Vader's using the kotor tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0rdReV@n88 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 well im doing this for personal i probably wont release it so i dont think i need his permission but i will get it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackel Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 If your only doing it for your personal use you wont need his permission. But will if you plan on releasing it. Â To change his lightsaber you will need to find his utc files and change what is in his invertory to match the uti file name for a vader saber. Also here you can change his appearance with that of Avol's Vader. Just select it from the list of appearances, making sure you have "use 2da files in override selected so that Kotor Tool picks up the fact you have a line in appearance.2da for Vader. Â This methos will make sure he always looks like Vader and has that saber. Though any prerendered cutscenes (like Visa Marr's introduction) where he appears will still show him as Nihilus not as Vader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L0rdReV@n88 Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 ok it tried and failed misserably i checked through and found n_nihilius.utc in kt i changed the stats and the appearance and saved it when i opened the saved one it was just like the original before i changed the stats. so then i opened it with a gff editor used the .2das to change the model it uses and saved opened it agian and it was the same stats that i changed them to. i put it in my override and got on my saved game then warped to the fight but nihilis was still nihilus but he had a blue saber instead of the red vader saber i assigned to him what did i do wrong oh and i changed his appearance in my appearance.2da nothing happened either can someone find my problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Or, you could try renaming the Darth Vader skins and models in order to replace them from the name reference point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0rdReV@n88 Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 ah ive never thought of that pure genius il try it tonight but im still having problems contacting avol since by the sounds of it slipstream would like me to release it does anyone no what happened to the lightsaber thing it turning blue i used jediwarrior(sorry but im not going to use the #) vader lightsaber which is g_w_lghtsbr94 i changed it from g_w_lghtsbr02 which is the normal red one but it changed to blue and blue really doesnt look right on nihilius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0rdReV@n88 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 i tried what alkonium said and it was still the nihilius model but he was crome and then he was gray like it wasnt mapping right but i still cant get the model to change to the vader one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 i tried what alkonium said and it was still the nihilius model but he was crome and then he was gray like it wasnt mapping right but i still cant get the model to change to the vader one Try this (I haven't tested it however):  Rename Avol's Vader models (not skins) to whatever Nil's model is, but re-rename the skins back to whatever Avol's originally was...  AvolDarthVader.mdl ==> n_darthnihilus.mdl AvolDarthVader.mdx ==> n_darthnihilus.mdx  Avol_VaderA.tga / .txi Avol_VaderH.tga / .txi  NO .2da editing should be involved with this procedure either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0rdReV@n88 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 ok ill try that it may work but when i changed the model name before it was still the nihilius model like i said but he was crome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 you might have misspelled the model name for it, which might be the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0rdReV@n88 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 yeah that could be it ill try it later and get back with you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lando Griffin Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 ok ive done this before, go to your kotor tool. Rims-852NIH_s.rim-Ravager Bridge (Ravager)-blueprint, character- n_darthnihilu001.utc. NOw u want to load ur appearance.2da in ur override. If u havnt done that then go to Tools-option...-other- put a check mark in look at in game override 2da files. Where it says appearance click it and search for darth vader. and when u fight him, he now is the dark lord vader. If u want him to always be darth vader then look for all his other utc(thers like 2) dont do the cutscenes, ur game will crash. hope this helps.
