harIII Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Does any body know of a good tutorial on how to model brand spanking new placeables for TSL? I am in dire need of being able to create some new placeables and I can't find a tutorial on it anywhere. If not would someone be willing to make one?
newbiemodder Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 what kind of placeable are you looking for? There is a good tutorial in under modeling for making placeable walkmeshes for your custom made placeable.
harIII Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 I need to make a few tropical and deciduous looking trees, and a big mountain with a cave entrance in it large enough to cover up the ebon hawk.
newbiemodder Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Is this for TSL...you know, there are various tree models in the models section of KotorTool that may be holdovers from K1...they start at the models..or_palm01 thru or_tatshrub01....you will have to create your own lines in the placeable2da file, just copy an existing line and enter the appropriate mdl file in the column..u then need to make your custum .utp file...pretty simple, u can do it. As far as your mountains, what I usually do is rip them from a room model. You need a large mountain, maybe rip it from a Dxun or Korriban room...center it at 0,0,0 in gmax then pretty much follow that tutorial I mention regarding walkmeshes.. If you need help...let me know.
harIII Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 I didn't know TSL had tree placeables. If so I'll just use them. I'll give the tutorial you mentioned a try with the mountain placeable later tonight.
harIII Posted June 20, 2011 Author Posted June 20, 2011 Ok I tried the tutorial out and I can create a new walkmesh as it tells you how to do but I can't get the new placeable I made to appear in the game. I made a mountain and attached it to the placeable I was working with, but when I open the game up the model doesn't appear but I can run into the walkmesh if I wish. What did I do wrong?
newbiemodder Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 did u link the actual mountain to the aurora base?
harIII Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 I don't think so. I figured attaching it to the placeable would bring the mountain model into the game. I'll give it a try.
