JebusJM Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Porting is porting. You're still porting something from K1 to K2. Even if you do change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtas Vadum Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Porting, at least in this case, is taking assets from one game, and using them in another. The only case where this is okay, is where it was already done by Obsidian, where the files were left in because they had no reason to remodel/retexture or edit them in any way, or because they never took it out(ie, any models/textures, etc, that was used in K1, and was used again in k2 - such as the armor models). Concerning the area models, there are a few that remain the same, while others do not exist within the files at all. Such as, the Korriban Academy was included, and added onto(the Library, which you couldn't enter in the first game), while the tomb interior modules, are not. The only Tomb module in the game, is the one used for Ludo Kressh's tomb. To be safe, finding a suitable area in K2's files to reskin is your best bet, as even if you did port a model between games - the model formats are different, so it might not be properly understood by K2.

Canderis Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 No. That is still porting. Taking stuff from one game to another is porting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
