[KOTOR]Head problem

[reivzje]

Ok i got a slight problem here. I am working on a little mod to make Juhani look like a human. But looks like even the easiest task is hard for a beginner like me.

 

 

This problem is so frustrating. Is it because i used only MDLops to rename the texture in the PFHC03-ascii.mdl ? Or something else ?

When you use mdlops uncheck ANY boxes that end in "_g".

[Yatsookey]

If dak's solution doesn't work, then try adding this line DisableVertexBufferObjects=1 to swkotor.ini under graphics options, that effect tends to happen on dantooine.

DisableVertexBufferObjects=1 is already added to swkotor.ini but i will try dak's solution

 

EDIT: Another question where do i actually uncheck those boxes in "_g" because i am using the renamer and not the replacer (Yes i know quite a lame question)

[Dak Drexl]

Wait, so did you actually do any modeling to the head (move around any verts)?

[Canderis]

Do not use mdlops for heads.

OH my bad I was being stupid. Yeah what Canderis said. Use Taina's replacer and THEN don't check the boxes that say _g. Sorry!

Ok i AM a bit confused now how can i change the pfhc03 texture to a different one in Tainas replacer ?

[Dak Drexl]

Before I can really help I need you to answer a couple questions (haha I feel like a psychiatrist):

 

Did you model the head (move vertices around)?

 

Are you trying to re-name the texture so that only Juhani uses it and not the head pfhc03?

[Canderis]

You don't need to. You do that in a different file. It is not necessary.

[reivzje]

yes i am trying to re-name the texture so only Juhani uses it and no i havent changed anything on the model

[Dak Drexl]

Ok so you should have your texture file, your mdl, and mdx. Open the .mdl in a hex editor (just get hex workshop, it's free) and replace all instances of pfhc03 to whatever you want the texture name to be - just make sure your new texture has the same number of characters as pfhc03, so I would probably just name it juhani. Then save your mdl and put it in your override with everything else - name your tga "juhani" like you named it in your hex editor.

 

This sounds really daunting and I shied away from this when people told me I needed to hex edit but it's really easy.

[Canderis]

wait, you are trying to replace juhani with that head?

[reivzje]

Yes and with a custom texture

 

EDIT: IT WORKED! Thanks a bunch Dak
