Silveredge9 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hi, I'm new to this place. I've been pretty much playing the KOTOR series since it was originally released, but only on the xbox. Recently I figured I'd grab the PC version of the original for the sole purpose of tinkering with it. Anyways, heres what I've been working on recently, a reskin of the jedi robe on the original. I'll probably release it when soon, I need to be 100% happy with it first. >_> Options, improvements or just general comments are welcome.

ChAiNz.2da Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Nice To be honest though, it looks very much like Mortal Kombat's "Scorpion"... was that your intention? If not, don't be surprised about similar comments (I don't consider it a bad thing ).. however, if you were specifically going for the look, you pretty much hit it spot on! In any case.. great job! and welcome to the Modder's Ranks! Welcome to the Forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silveredge9 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Yeah, I noticed the similarities to Scorpian too. And thanks for the welcome. The yellow-ness of it was actually taken from a costume Leia wore in something, It's just stuck in the back of my mind until now. I might experiment with different colours and such, and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh don't get me wrong, the Scorpion reference wasn't an insult.. it looks great If you do experiment with other colors, be sure to keep the yellow version as well [Off topic] As for the welcome.. we're always happy to have fresh meat err.. new modders to join in on the fun.. Enjoy your stay and feel free to explore other parts of the forums.. especially AHTO, we've got all kinds of crazies in there Great place to hang after frying your brain over a mod (I'm sure most will agree) [/Off Topic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silveredge9 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Made a few colour variations, might make a few more tweaks and then possible release them as a pack. Blue Grey Grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavlos Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Very nice! I'm a fan of the blue. I'll definitely download if you... eh, upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyri Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Did you do the patterns in there yourself or are they part of the original texture and I just never noticed? Either way I agree with Pavlos that the blue one is quite nice. I don't so much like the yellow one because it's just too much yellow - it needs something to break it up a little so it doesn't just look like a big sea of yellow. Maybe add a complementary trim color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silveredge9 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 The pattern is custom and isn't on the original robe texture. I've altered the pattern, it looked too simple being only 1px thick. I've also added a grey trim along the edges of the main overlay robe. I'm pretty happy with it at the moment, with only perhaps slight changes in the belt and wrist bands.

Inyri Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 The pattern is custom and isn't on the original robe texture.In that case kudos! Whatever you've done to that really makes it stand out more - gives it some depth. Keep it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woogiee Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Very nice, if I had KOTOR for pc id def DL this if you decide to release it. The more I look at KOTOR's robes the more I like them, and the less i like TSL's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderWiggin Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 This would be in my override as well if you released it. I am very much liking that pattern! _EW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I definitely like the yellow skin better, reminds me of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. Is there going to be a male version for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woogiee Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 heh, actually Silveredge9 has Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Smoke esqe (sp?) robes lol. didnt click in my head earlier. *wishes for more money to buy KOTOR now* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Down Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Oh, nice looking robe u got there!.. Now what about an Sith version?.. Black robe with the pattern in red.. - Dream Evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silveredge9 Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 There's a strange problem I've encountered. Up until now to get like a section of the skin PVC shiny I've simply made it slightly transparent in the relevant area, this works perfectly when the robes are on the PC yet when they go on another like Bastilla or Juhani, there are actually transparent and you can see pretty much straight through them. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A value of "Default" will make you have the swiss-cheese look You'll want to change the value to something such as "CM_Baremetal"... That or there was (I think) another method to do this, but I can't find it to save the life of me.. I think oldflash hints on it here: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=153502 BUT, I've never been able to get a chrome effect to work just by adjusting a .txi file entry (for clothing).. maybe it's just me that has badluck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldflash Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I should have a look in kotor\override but I thing txi file will be enought to set chrome effect for bastila and juhani cloth. Just make a text file with same name as texture file but .txi extension and inside put envmaptexture cm_baremetal. If doesn't work you need to edit appearance.2da like ChAiNz.2da suggest.

Silveredge9 Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 Fixed the problem, had to edit appearence.2da. Thanks for the help. They are all pretty much finished, here are pictures of the different colour variations that I will include in the robe pack (Yep, I plan to release them all ) Clicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Wow! Major improvements, they're all fantastic... hehehe.. I couldn't help but notice the name of your .jpg (blah) Far from it, these look superb... the texturing pattern makes a world of difference, and the fact that you didn't go overboard with the "shiny" parts (something I'm dreadfully guilty of) makes them even better...

Pavlos Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Wow! Major improvements, they're all fantastic... Absolutely! Wow... I must have these for my next playthrough . I think you've done an excellent job on getting these robes just right. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Down Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 So, no Sith version? - Dream Evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silveredge9 Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 So, no Sith version? - Dream Evil The Black and Red robes are essentially the Sith versions. I actually did create a quick variation with black robes and red patterns, but It didn't really look right. Anyways I submitted the file to just Filefront at the moment, so that should appear for download soon. I tried PCGAMEMODS too, but it seems to have an error when uploading files.

Yay! let the hazing commence! hehehe... hey Silveredge9, might I suggest you create a release thread here in TUCE?
