Darth DeadMan Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I've taken a closer look at that model, and I can assure you that it IS possible to convert it to TSL. It's not easy, but possible. I'm planning to make such conversion when I will have more free time (and when I'll finish some other stuff I'm currently working on). Can't say when it will happen (if will happen at all, plans are a fragile things). However, i can suggest you to contact reapper on this; he seems to be able to put custom character models in game.

reapper Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 its going to be a while I discover an error there is two texture maps on the stih stalker armor I tried using the two maps in the kotor 2 game didnt work I'm going to see if I can combine the two into one texture map unless you guys know a way to use two textures maps on one model? if not its cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth DeadMan Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You can use 2 (and even more!) textures in one model. You just need to detach parts which use another texture to a separate mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reapper Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 yeah I got that part thanks but here is where I am confuse what do you call the other texture part for example: I call the main texture PMBH15 and assign the .uti to 15 now what do you call the other texture part????? and how do you assign it the other texture to the .uti????

Darth DeadMan Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 For models like this I recommend use disguise items. This way texture variation in *.uti will not matter (it will affect only icon number) so you can name your textures any way you want. You'll need to make a new entry in appearance.2da (value for all model* columns will be your model name; tex* should be ****) and add a disguise property to the *.uti for this to work.

reapper Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 hey deadman I'm not sure how to use the appearance.2da I tried to use do what you said but sadly it didnt work for me can you explain it in details? this is where I get lost I open up kotor tools and open up appearance.2da right...and insert a new row put the columns name "pmbhm" thats the armor I'm replacing ok now what do I call the string ref?? and the name of row race? and then there is something call "model type" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth DeadMan Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Model type tells the game engine if this character have full body+head model (like Sion, Nihilus, etc.) or body and head are separate models. For this model you should use set it to F (full model, B is for separate models). Stingref - leave it just ****. I have no idea what it realyy does. Race - put your model name here (just like in model* columns). BTW, you can just copy a line from any fullmodel character and edit it with your values. For example, copy Nihilus line and replace N_DarthNihilus (in all columns where it is) to your model name. That should work just fine. Anyway, when you'll complete weighting the model you can send it to me and I'll help you with getting it in game and setting up the installer.

reapper Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 great!! so here is wip its not complete yet but just to show you where I"m at but yeah deadman I will send it to you once I am finish with the weighting I spotted some errors as you can see four places the stomach, Rarm, knees and the neck but this is goood nearly done.....hey deadman once your done with this model and you got it in the game can you show me how you did it like the hole process of the installer or give me a link on how to's of appearance.2da how to make it work thanks!!!!!

Darth DeadMan Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Here's a good appearance.2da guide. But, IMO, the easiest way to do anything - just look how this stuff is made in game/other mods and do everything similar way. TSL Patcher have quite good instructions and a special tool for making it easier to set up the installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarsityPuppet Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 yeah I got that part thanks but here is where I am confuse what do you call the other texture part for example: I call the main texture PMBH15 and assign the .uti to 15 now what do you call the other texture part????? and how do you assign it the other texture to the .uti???? It has to be one texture if you intend to have multiple reskins of the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth DeadMan Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 AFAIK, this model will have only one skin, so... And I was thinking it will be a full body+head model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggoth Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 damn, i guess i'll try to make kotor 2 run on my win7hp64bit and fail again but for that model it worth trying ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth-ackbar Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Cool, is that a brand new model you've imported into the game, I didn't even think that was possible, well you've shown me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggoth Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 one russian guy was converting JA stormtroopers into kotor and they were awesome but cause it's forbidden he never gave em to anyone or released. i guess someone should make a nice detailed tutorial and we can do something by ourselves you know if you own both games and what'nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggoth Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 btw i really hope it can be converted to kotor1, cause it have better story and actually the only one what runs on my system )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 wait, isn't this porting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth-ackbar Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 No I don't think so. It only applies to assets being ported betwen both kotors, and the model itself is community made anyway, it would just be like making a new model and using it in both kotors, not porting because you made it yourself. Anyway, lets move off the porting topic, bit of a dodgy subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reapper Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 thanks darth-ackbar couldnt say it better myself actually I'm almost done guys....hey Shaggoth I can make it for both k1 and k2, kotor 1 does have better story but kotor 2 has better force powers and titles for your character like "sith lord" or "jedi master" but anyhow shaggoth if you give me your email I can send you a nice detailed tutorial on how to put custom armor models in game....:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth DeadMan Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 one russian guy was converting JA stormtroopers into kotor and they were awesome Nice to see you too, mate! It was a long time, eh? wait, isn't this porting? It's porting, but it IS legal, 'cause model was originally made by another modmaker. you give me your email I can send you a nice detailed tutorial on how to put custom armor models in game.... I suggest you to post tutorial here on forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just post it in Holowan Labs, and then someone will add it to the appropriate Tutorial section. Is the model animated in the same way it would be in JK:JA, or does it use the same animations as other models in TSL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
