Bob Ta'aar Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Well, as a few might know, I'm working on some alien heads to chose as PC. With the easy ones (Twi'lek, Zabrak and Devaronian) I'm doin' pretty well so far. But now I noticed, that at least the female Twi'lek head (didn't check the other ones) doesn't have any MaskHook and GoggleHook nodes. This means, that the equipped headgear won't be displayed ingame (I know some like it that way anyways, me, I don't, and I feel my mod to be incomplete without that). Now, I tried to simply add those nodes with an editor into the ascii-mdl. Worked fine as far as Gmax goes, but sadly, Taina's Replacer deletes them again (as they're not in the original model). Is there a easier way to get them into the binary model than miro42's hex-editing? I haven't used a hex-editor before in my life and haven't had the time to learn it so far . I might have to anyways though in order to make the full-body-model aliens usable. But if there's an easier way simply for the helpers, I'd appreciate any tip !

newbiemodder Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I don't think it can be done with heads. I messed around with it a while back, and couldn't get it to work properly. Check the threads, others have tried as well. You never know, maybe you can succeed where ohers have failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ta'aar Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Oh, it IS possible indeed. I just got it working with miro42's hex-editing method. I don't know whether I was just lucky or what, but see for yourself: Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) my lethan twi'lek with comletely functional headgear: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The would always be offset and not just quite right. Can I get a backside shot, like to see how the band looks from the side or rear. Congrats. Share what/how with the forum.

Bob Ta'aar Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Well, the stuff is aligned pretty well, as you can see with the Sonic Nullifier equipped here: Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) The leather-band is part of the head's texture, so it has nothing to do with that . However, I just noticed that the facial animations are all gone (just as with the Weequay-head I'm experimenting with). Old problems others got before with the hex-editing, I'll see if I get it to work properly yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
