[wip] Drewton's Skins

[TriggerGod]

Gey Drewton when did you Upload you aswome Skins?

I can't wait for it

 

He has uploaded a couple of his earlier in the year, before he started majorly working on this or the Massive Improvement Mod. his released skins. Otherwise, you'll just have to wait for him to release the others.

[ojajebie]

Hey Drewton, could you reupload screenshots of Juno reskin, please? Or someone else?

Thank you in advance!

[Drewton]

Daos300: Yeah, it will come with a jawless version. I'm going to try making the "mouth" more freaky as well...

 

ojajebie: Whoops, looks I deleted them accidentally. I'll see if I can find them again on my computer; if not, I'll have a new version up soon anyway.

 

Sorry for lack of updates on any of my mods including TSLMIM lately. I have been working on a KOTOR fanfilm with completely new visuals, Revelation, and haven't gotten any work done on any mods. I've started doing some skins again though. I'm thinking that for my next TSLMIM update, I should see if anyone would like to make a YouTube video of a certain part of the game with skins that I'd send to them. The terrible fraps on the Peragus one gave people a bad impression.

 

Just please don't leave comments like "I don't think they're working on it anymore" - I've gotten quite a few of them on my ModDB page. I'm definitely late but I'm not planning on just stopping this whatsoever.

 

Here's something I just started working on - a Starkiller/Galen Marek head redo. Much better than my generic-looking first version from the first page. Mouth isn't right yet; this was the first time I tried it in-game.

 

 

Also, I was wondering if anyone could help re-UV map the Jal Shey armor and the Sith officer uniform so that both sides of the textures (excluding the legs) could be textured separately. Credit would be given, of course.

 

And it wouldn't be possible to remove the hood and a few other things from the Jolee Bindo model, would it?

If you'd like, I'll take the video. I've got spare time, and I can get some good FPS in TSL, even while taking the video. Just check out the videos in my sig. As long as its not a big action scene like the battle on ebon hawk, I should be able to record it with good FPS.

My only issue with it is the problems that the heads in the games have as well: symmetry. I can try to re-uv map the head you are using to be full-face instead of half-face, so that it doesn't look like your head has symmetrical giant lines of dirt.

Sure, I can do these too.

Thanks VERY much Trigger, for all of your offers!

 

The YouTube videos looked like great quality, and in HD. I wasn't planning for any long battle scenes. I decided to cut down most of the fighting in my Peragus video because not only was it that interesting, the FPS also got even worse. I'll get back to you on this soon.

 

The huge lines at the sides are a mistake, left over from an image I was using. They will not be in the final version.

 

You'd be able to edit Jolee's model as well? That would be awesome if so, and I don't think I'd need the Sith officer re-UV-mapped then.

 

Thanks again very much.

 

EDIT: Also, just wondering: with HK-47 now being able to weild lightsabers thanks to Khrizby's excellent mod, would anyone be interested in an HK-47 Grievous skin? It obviously wouldn't be perfect but I might be able to make it look good enough.

[Lord of Hunger]

A Grievous reskin would be pretty awesome, but IMO I think you should finish either your awesome Darth Malak reskin and/or your epic TSLMIM...preferably the latter.

 

I'd also be willing to record videos for you alongside Trig. As people know, my vids have been pretty HD, but also choppy. Windows XP, Fraps, and a 1920x1080 HD screen with the maximum sets in TSL and KOTOR tend to do that. However, if you take out Windows XP and put in Windows 7 the frame rate is, what would be a good word...epic?

 

Anyway, PM if you would like to accept my offer. Oh, and the Starkiller reskin is pretty cool so far.

[Sith Holocron]

Daos300: Yeah, it will come with a jawless version. I'm going to try making the "mouth" more freaky as well...

 

Any chance you'll be adjusting Malak's sleeves like the previous posters suggested? The unadjusted sleeves with conjunction with your excellent reskinned torso just seems . . . off. No insult to your skinning intended.

Does anyone besides me think that Starkiller looks like the late Freddie Mercury (from Queen) with this mouth?

Actually if possible, an Anakin skin with robotic arm using the HK model would be sweet! Grevious would be cool too however getting the other two arms with no functionality might seem a bit gimmicky...

[Marius Fett]

I can sort of see what you mean. It kinda looks like Freddie in his last years when he didn't have the moustache. Not a huge resemblance, bet I can see why you'd say it.

I hope you will try it at least. It would be awesome! Also, Starkiller's head is nice the mouth is a bit wierd thoough.

[Mandalore The Shadow]

Nice work I LOVE your Malak skin keep it up

[Drewton]

Hey all.

 

No new updates right now, I'd just like to apologize not just for the delay in The Sith Lords Massive Improvement Mod, but for being gone for such an inexcusable amount of time without saying anything. It's been...what, a year now? That's really terrible.

 

I am not going to make any promises about anything since most of mine have failed in the past - I'd just like to say that I haven't been saying anything because I have been working on a slightly different project which I don't want to reveal until it's like 85-95% done. I've learned it's a bad decision to announce something right when I start working on it. Still, this mod is not dead, exactly to say without anything. I'll just say that I think (or hope) that you'll be even more impressed with what I have something coming up, which is an even bigger project. I'm trying to get the KotOR series up to the standards of Mass Effect 2.

 

TSLMIM is not dead and has never been dead, I am just taking a while working inbetween schoolwork and a few other projects.

 

In the meantime, before the end of the year, I hope to get a few skins up and some smaller character packs - including Commander Shepard and Miranda Lawson from Mass Effect.

 

Again, I don't want to make any promises, but watch this space in early 2011. If anyone could help with some minor UV mapping on existing models, that would be great.

[Slstoev]

Drewton you're back! I can't believe it.

 

Though this is some exciting news.

[Drewton]

Yes, and hopefully back for good.

 

If not, ban me and all my mods from Lucasforums and Filefront, LOL.

[Darth Elessar]

Wow; Those look like very amazing reskins.

[Sith Holocron]

Drewton, could you at least release the Malak skin for TSL?

[Drewton]

SH, you mean the Jedi one?

 

I never got that one finished but it is on my to-do list, so I'll try to get that one up before the end of the year too.

[Sith Holocron]

Yes, the Jedi Malak.

[luc500]

I'm trying to get the KotOR series up to the standards of Mass Effect 2.

 

What area of the KOTOR games are pushing towards ME2 standards? The graphics? If so, good luck!

[Drewton]

Alright, saying sorry just doesn't cut it to anyone hoping for The Sith Lords Massive Improvement Mod - so some good news and bad news.

 

I haven't been working on the mod for about a year. I've been working on a film project, and even another mod which I'm not going to announce yet, but not TSLMIM. However, I have decided to upload much of what I have done like a few people have been asking me. This includes skins for Darth Nihilus, Darth Sion (TFU style), Revan, Atton, much of Peragus, a little bit of Onderon, Trayus Core, Telos plateau (including the skybox), some FX, and more.

 

All of these will be in one huge upload on KOTOR Files.

[Ogriv83]

Sorry to hear about TSLMIM but good luck with the movie.

 

However I am very excited about the big upload to KOTOR files.

 

Thank You

Thanks for releasing what you have finished. So many have worked long on projects just to let them slip away. At least we'll get to use these things and your hard work will not have been for nothing.

 

Good luck on your film project, BTW!

[Drewton]

Yeah, all the skins will be free to use for anything. Mods, fanfilms. I might try doing a few touch-ups to some skins, now that most are two years old and I have Adobe Photoshop CS5. Many of these are going to be very much WIPs; for example, I only did a few parts of Mandalore's armor. I'll just say a target release for October 1, hopefully with some YouTube videos in between.

 

Thanks, on the film project. It's a Star Wars stopmotion-ish fanfilm shot in 1080p, I've almost got the first 10 min done. Film is what I really want to go into.

I agree. Sometimes it's better to see some of a modder's work, rather than none.

That's real generous of you. Thanks on behalf of many in the community

If you ever feel the need to flex those new CS5 muscles, you can always release a TSLMIM part 2 anytime you like

You might want to try a different outlet considering KOTORFiles has been down for awhile...

 

or well not down, but no new files seem to ever show on the network. If possible, a filehosting website would be better - or you could always try out the DeadlyStream forums.

 

Either way, still cool to think about finally testing out that Sion skins ... yummy!
