Shem Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 ****************************** KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II ****************************** Title: Movie Style Dark Side Transitions Author: Shem Date Released: 1/10/07 http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/Movie_Style_Dark_Side_Transitions;85693 Description: I gave in and rather quickly after the K1 release to present you the TSL version. The sequel to one of my biggest projects ended up being a bigger project as I expected, but I'm hoping you're all glad that I actually did it. All 34 of the selectable heads you can choose from in TSL have been changed to have a realistic dark side transition. As like before, it is to get rid of the zombie look and have the eyes just change color to the Sith style ones. So basically you're not going to look ugly anymore when going to the dark side. In TSL, Obsidian made two different skins for each head for turning to the dark side. What I did is made it so you have two looks. Normal eyes or Sith eyes. To get to the Sith eyes, you need to get to the second and final dark side transition to get the Sith eyes. Another thing to consider is we have seen people on the dark side and not have Sith eyes, so making you have to go down really far for you to show that you're a dark side follower seems real to me. It maybe something to get used to at first seeing your level up menu and your character have their alignment showing red yet still looking normal, but I think this is a good change. I also made new portraits for your normal look and your dark side look for each of the 34 heads. That part took the longest to do in this project. A bonus that comes with this mod is the party members who can be influenced to the dark side and have their dark side transitions themselves. This includes, Atton, Bao-Dur, the Handmaiden, the Disciple, Mira, and Visas. With Visas, she just lost the zombie look since she doesn't have eyes. They all have new portraits to go with this new look and all the party members have portraits that do not have dark side transitions. I also got permission from Inyri Forge to use her only male Caucasian re-skin for this release to help prevent crying among the community since her head skin is very popular. It is the first male Caucasian head. There are two alternate versions. The one that Inyri made by adding the goatee. There is my version based off of Inyri's work where the goatee is a little darker to match the eyebrows and to show up better on the face while I faded out the scar by his right eye. Her original readme file is included. Installation: If you want all the default looks in there, just put the files you see in the folder into the override folder. The skins with alternate looks are in their own seperate folders. Special Thanks: This goes to Inyri Forge for letting me use her head skins for alternate head options. Her readme files have been included in this release. http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/68/files2/85693_1.jpg http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/68/files2/85693_2.jpg http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/68/files2/85693_3.jpg http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/68/files2/85693_4.jpg http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/68/files2/85693_5.jpg http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/68/files2/85693_6.jpg http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/68/files2/85693_7.jpg http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/68/files2/85693_8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Payne Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Umm, this is probably a dumb question. But does this affect previous saves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hax0redCardz Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hmm, I seem to be having an issue with these skins. In game they do show up with the various LS/DS changes but their texture/color seems to be slightly distorted. I put them directly in the override folder unaltered, so I don't know what's going on. Example (it's most prominent on this face): The first one is a default pic without the skins in my folder, the second is with them in my folder. http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/4270/example1zn4.jpg http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/9539/example2nu1.jpg Any advice?

No, I don't have any advice. It doesn't happen in my game (as shown in my screenshots) and you're the first bring that up which means I no clue to why. It could be a graphics card or memory issue with the added memory you're using with the files installed; who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hax0redCardz Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hmm, well my system is ~4 years old but it's always been more than enough to handle running Kotor. My specs are 3.2GHz Pentium, 1GB DDR2, and a 6800GT. I'm not suffering a loss of framerate just texture quality in the replaced faces. I'll try it with nothing running in the background I guess. I really wanna get this mod to work, it looks so sweet Edit: Nope, no luck. The distortion still happens even when this is the only mod I have in the folder, with almost no other programs running in the background. I don't get it, your other reskins work without a hitch for me. *Siiiiiigh* So I'm guessing this is a long shot since even Shem has no idea what's up, but does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas? I've tried updating my drivers, and even a fresh install with no luck. I can't really be the only one to ever have this problem... can I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm...try checking your monitor's color settings, make sure they're on the highest setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hax0redCardz Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hmm...try checking your monitor's color settings, make sure they're on the highest setting.I checked and its color setting is maxed. I'm almost convinced it's a driver problem but I can't seem to find a forceware release that doesn't cause it. Any nVidia users out here mind sharing what drivers they're currently using? I just tried the most up to date install (175.16) and got no improvement. Thanks for the help. Edit: Update!... WAHOO I just tried Forceware 169 and presto, problem solved! :D So... if any other nVidia people have this issue there ya go. BTW hawt mod Shem!!!!
