Hayden Kered Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I was wondering if any one could do me a favor and make Jedi Malak a selectable pc, or just make a Jedi Malak head. Which ever would be easier. No dark side transitions is needed. Also if possible could this reskin> http://pcgamemods.com/mod/18299.html be used instead of the default skin? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthSaboteur Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Well, I'm not so sure if the reskin could be used because IIRC there isn't a way to contact KillerWave about using his reskin mod and I don't want to use it without his permission. But I can get the mod done without the skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Kered Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 That's cool. I can do with out the use of the reskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderWiggin Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I could do it, even with the reskin of Bane, but it would have to be a personal mod for you. Actually, if DarthSaboteur would still want to do it, he could do just as you asked if it was just sent to you. Only a public release would be a problem. _EW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if one of you would want to try it with the reskin just let me know when you get it done and I'll send a PM for where to send the mod. Thanks I appreciate it!

EnderWiggin Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I wouldn't want to overstep my boundaries, or offend anyone, so I will wait and see if DarthSaboteur still wants to do this. If he does not, I would be glad to. If he does, I will let him do it, as he did say he was going to do it before I did. But out of curiosity... Which game? _EW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkkender Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I just have to ask are you intending on cutting Malak's head from the single body mesh and trying to weld it to another head and probably skew or mess up the various animations, EW? I ask this because the Jedi Malak head is part of a single body mesh. While you can have it as a selectable PC there is the potential for game crashes when you do so in the character creation process. This is because of a hardcoded programming boundary.

oldflash Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I have in my week-end plans to cut malek's head at LORD SPARTAN's request. However, until now I've cut some heads: sion, kreya, atris, some alien species (can't remember name). I hope to work (I failed pretty ugly with bastilla).

Only a public release would be a problem. _EW_ If it was up to me I would prefer to have the Jedi Malak selectable PC (with his own outfit) and make it a public release, which would be better for everyone and have the reskin done as a personal use.

Hayden Kered Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 Just thought of something. By using the full body mesh as a selectable pc, will that effect the appreance in game? (Example: wear a jedi robe and appreance shows pc in jedi robe) I would like to be able to change wardrobes, will it be best to go along with just the head mesh for this?

DarthSaboteur Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Well, if I edited the .2da entries so that Malak could wear normal robes and clothing I'm not sure what'd happen. I think I'd have to reduce his size as well so that he can "fit" into the armor/robes. If anyone else can finish this mod before me, that'd be fine. Right now I'm making the portrait and making the portraits.2da edits for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHawke Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Well, if I edited the .2da entries so that Malak could wear normal robes and clothing I'm not sure what'd happen. The Jedi Malak head and body are one model, so simple 2da editing will not work to get him to wear robes/armor. Like the Darth Malak model he can be used for a PC appearance, but he will only be able to use a single bladed saber and he will not change appearance when you put things on him. Sorry. Edit: Actually if I recall correctly if you add in entries into the appearance.2da for the normal player body models, you will likely get a headless body, or you might even get a crash if you put something on him.

Jaden Kenobi Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Wouldnt be easy if it would be made much like Kreia is, what I mean is, when you equip a robe on Kreia you dont change her apperence just her attributes. I guess that would be easier given the these matters of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't paying attention and I thought the full body mesh was the head, and look what happened when I put it ingame: _EW_ Hint: do not delete parts and do not move verticles on z axes. Use "render" checkbox in modif. panell and where does not exist (like aurora flex) convert that part to aurora trimesh and uncheck render box. However, this look good. I use to get worse than taht.

Darkkender Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Hey Oldflash if you can succesfully cut heads and make them seperate heads can you give this a go with the Quarren, Trandoshan, Aqualish & maybe some others? Also why would you need to cut Bastilla's head from body mesh? They are already 2 seperate models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldflash Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I can't belive how stupid I am. I was think it's about cutting head and use body. However, hor malak is not so big mistake. I can cut head and transform into a headgear. With some settings in appearance.2da that headgear canot be take off (something like mandalore armor). Because pc head need to have eye animation that headgear will have 2 holes instead of eyes and need to be constructed for certain pc head. But only for malak head (that model is in one of mainmenu).

So from what you're saying is that you can make malak's head a permanent helmet, with the eyes cut out? Am I understainding this correctly?

oldflash Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Yes and if I think twice that will work for malek either since pc doesn' talk to much and lips animation is not important. But you will lose headgear slot (that will be locked). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shem Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Just keep in mind about the Jedi Malak model. He only has animations for single blade weapons. He does not have animations for the flurry and critical strike attacks. He does have the power attack animation, so you do have something there.

KillerWave Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 If you want to use that reskin, feel free to. I would just ask you to mention me in a txt somewhere in it. And if anyone wants to contact me, just send a PM. I will be around from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would probably be better to make malak's head a pc, by doing that I would then be able to have full animations. Wouldn't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
