TSL - Jedi Master Robe change


jonathan7

Recommended Posts

Howdies all,

 

This is just a small part of a mod, you will soon see released :p basically I want to get rid of the hated Master robe of the Jedi Masters and replace it with the much better looking Padawan model.

 

But not being a modeller, I was wondering what people think would be the most efficient way of replacing Vrook, Zez, Kavar's and Vash's robes to the padawan model?

 

Would it be -

 

a) be to to do an appearance.2da edit, or

 

b) to just rename the Padawan model as the Master one? I'm doing a skin for each of the Master's to have their own unique robe.

 

Either way, one thing I haven't figured out is what is the particular model number (for both female and male) of the Padawan model?

 

Hope you following my meaning. :xp:

Models are p[f/m]bim.mdl, not bis are bil, as jonathan7 may remember from my old thread were I was attempting to edit this. (hey, did you find the k1 skins BTW?)

 

 

So basically, all you need is to go in apperance.2da, and replace any PFBNM (there are no male models for Master robes) in the modeln and texn columns by P(F/B)IM. And you may need to edit the Texture Variation of some .uti's. During the making of my mod, I took the following notes:

 

I
01 Padawan
02 Jolee
03 Dark Padawan
	04 Jedi
	05
	06 Dark Jedi
07 Baran Do n00b
08 Ossus
09 Norris
10 Baran Do boss
N
01 Knight
02 Sylvar (Light Side)
03 Crado (Dark Side)
	04 Dark Knight
	05 Gray Jedi
	06 Master
07 Natth (Dark Side)
08 Thon (Light Side)
09 Arren Kae
10 Dark Master
11 Aleema Keto (Dark Side)
12 Matukai boss
13 Matukai n00b
14 Nomi (Light Side)
15 Arca Jeth (Light Side)

 

So for example, Knights and Masters robes will have to see their texture variation changed from 1 and 6 to 4, and Dark Jedi Knights/Masters robes will have to have 6 instead of 4 and 10.

Pants, expect a PM shortly, I'm very sorry for not getting back to you, a few serious real life things had distracted me from modding.

Thanks very much for that :) Have you released your mod? I don't recall seeing it in TUCE, or have I missed it? I look forward to seeing your work :)

Nope, kept it for meeself, my precioussss :p well, what happened exactly is that I started to help a team on a larger project, so all the files are there (it's even tslpatched), I just did not upload it. And I'd need to create a readme. And to take screenshots. Han, so much to do... And so much time to do it, I don't even have an excuse... '^^

 

Got your PM. Nothing's urgent anyway, so please don't be sorry for that :) I just wanted to see if I'd be able to give Vrook's K1 robe in TSL, but that's not really important.

 

I hope I was able to help you with your mod, in any case. Good luck with it!

Wah, so much white.

 

Do you get a blank texture with any Master Robe you put on any character, or just with Vrook?

 

If it's the first case, please upload a screenshot of what you put in the modeln and texn columns. I may have given you the wrong strings (though I'm sure you'd have corrected by checking what's written in the modeli/texi columns).

 

If it's the second case, did you edit every appearances using Master Robes? I'm thinking of Vrook's row (670, the last one, if I'm not mistaking). I doubt you only edited the PC apparences, but it could be an explanation.

 

Else I don't know. Continuing with the "are you sure that..."-like questions, what named did you gave to your custom texture? Do the letters match what's in Vrook's row in appearance.2da?

 

(I have the terrible feeling I'm not being any useful... '^^)

 

<edit />And moreover, I missed your objective - I thought you intended to edit *all* Masters Robes and change them into Jedi Robes, though if I get it correctly now, you just want to edit the Council Members' models.

No way! You've been a great help so far :)

I haven't tested but should only be Vrook (I've only been editing and testing on him), as had put a "custom" texture in his texn column (imaginatively called vrook ;)) currently he is wearing a Dark Jedi Padwan robe.

 

If it's the first case, please upload a screenshot of what you put in the modeln and texn columns. I may have given you the wrong strings (though I'm sure you'd have corrected by checking what's written in the modeli/texi columns).

 

Nah, you didn't give me the wrong strings - what you said to do worked perfectly :)

 

What I did have to get the above effect;

 

modeln - PMBIM

texn - vrook (with a vrook.tga in Override)

 

If it's the second case, did you edit every appearances using Master Robes? I'm thinking of Vrook's row (670, the last one, if I'm not mistaking). I doubt you only edited the PC apparences, but it could be an explanation.

 

Not quite following your line of thought here... Basically all I have done to the .2da is edit Vrook

 

Else I don't know. Continuing with the "are you sure that..."-like questions, what named did you gave to your custom texture? Do the letters match what's in Vrook's row in appearance.2da?

 

Yeh, they matched - which is why I'm puzzled as to the problem, and the texture was just a renamed Padawan in game skin, purely for testing (was using the Ossus skin).

 

<edit />And moreover, I missed your objective - I thought you intended to edit *all* Masters Robes and change them into Jedi Robes, though if I get it correctly now, you just want to edit the Council Members' models.

 

No worries, my fault, I probably wasn't clear enough. But basically what I want to do is turn the council members, plus the handmaidens robes from Master models to Padawan models. (I think the Master models very ugly myself - especially the cod piece!).

 

Thanks for all your help so far, you've been very helpful :) and will defiantly get a mention in the readme!

Well, there's your problem. By default, the game looks for a variation number at the end of the texture's name itself (not in the 2da, but the tga file itself). In this case, you would need to relabel "vrook.tga" to "vrook01.tga". Hope this helps. ;)

Yeah never mind, I had overlooked your first post. Well, I'm glad you got it working anyway :] Thanks Ferc Kast!

 

Officially the only K1, Jedi Robe texture I can find is the one pointed out in your old thread; K1_PFBI01.tga - Sorry, G!

Excuse the bump; but I'd like some construtive criticism of the first two of the personalised Jedi Robes for the Masters;

 

Here's the moody old man's;

{snip}

 

And the charming Vash models hers;

Thoughts?

*puts away scissors*

I see your using the Grapix Improvement mod :D

Anyways, I like the gram-pa's robes. But Vash's robe appears too normal. I would do a little moar on her robe. Whatever it is, I hope its good.

(PS - How do you did you get those textures on Vrook's robes (dots) in there? Q's tut?)

Indeed, its an awesome mod, although I'm using my own variation on Xarwarz mod ;)

Hmmm, I may consider changing it; the aim isn't to make the robes stick out massively; more the get rid of the horrible codpiece master robes, and give them something more elegant.

Never really needed a tutorial for photoshop :p

 

The answer to your question maybe lying around one of my photo albums :xp:

 

Edit here's Kavar's...

p.s. Thanks Chainz for the million and one saved games for modders!

 

my pleasure :D - Cz

Cool robes. I'm glad that I could be of assistance. I'll be sure to d/l this when it's released.

 

Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:

 

Cheers Ferc,

 

I'm still not happy with the collar's but they are a nightmare even with Svosh's fix!

 

Here's the latest screenie;

Thanks for the encouragement guys :)

 

What's interesting to me is if you kept Vrook's robe by default in K1, it now looks like he just put on a coat over it. Creative idea and keep up the good work! :D

 

Aye, that's the idea :) Always liked the old codger in that red robe in K1... That is the only reason I don't have 90SK's K1 Robe mod not installed ;)

 

Anyways here is the latest screenie; this is the last of the 'Master' Robes I'm changing - here is the Handmaiden so far;

Let me know what you think!

I see your reasoning. But, wouldn't it be possible to find which one replaces Vrook's, then remove it?

Technically, it is a "Knight" robes, according to baseitems.2da :xp:

Anyways, I looked at your album, and you comment, and well, I think its fine without the collar.

Unfortunately not, as for that mod 90SK changes that model (i.e. he replaces every model of that type with a different one), so things would get rather complex and hardcore for such a small thing.

I'm a perfectionist hence my obsession with the collars ;)

 

It looks pretty cool, give or take the white part of the collar with the circle.

 

I may remove it, the general idea was to take the neckline from Handmaidens normal clothes, and use that as the neck for her robe. Thanks for the input, and if I leave it in, I can do you a special no circle robe as a thanks for solving the .2da texture problem! :)
