Chevron 7 locke Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hey everyone. Well, I decided to give modding a try and I thought I'd start off with something simple for K1. I'm trying to give the Sith Academy students Dark Jedi Robes instead of the uniforms that they wear but I can't seem to figure out how to do so. I've tried following the tutorials but I keep ending up getting confused. I'm also trying to re-texture the Darth Bandon armor in the game so it looks like the armor he wears in game but I'm also having a bit of trouble with that.

milestails Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Definitely two noble pursuits! I wish you all the best! Would definitely use two such mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 You probably need to be a bit more explicit than "having a bit of trouble" in order for anyone to provide help. Detail exactly what it is you are trying to do, what steps you have gone through, and where you are getting stuck. Provide pictures to illustrate if appropriate.

Sorry for any confusion I may have caused there. I'm trying to find the files for the Sith Academy students like Mekel, Yuthura Ban and the rest of them. I thought I found one of them ((Yuthura's)) at one point in the Korr_m3aa_s.rim Module files but every time I tried to equip a Dark Jedi robe to her in the module file she still wore the same clothes in game. I threw the modified file in the Override file if that helps at all. As for the Darth Bandon mod I'm trying to work on, I don't even know where to start with that. I read through a few more tutorials but I just ended up getting hopelessly confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yuthura will require an appearance.2da edit. She is set to use the N_SithComF body model regardless of what is equipped. Set her to use the standard player body models. I'd say the students are the same, they'll all just use a standard "Sith commoner" appearance. Find the appearance.2da row/s referenced in their UTCs. As to Bandon, I assume you want a player-wearable version of his armour? There is already at least one mod for that.

And I'm curious, how do I set Yuthura and the others to use the standard player body models? I'm still trying to figure out the 2da files and It's a bit overwhelming.

DarthParametric Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Scroll along the columns until you see modela through to modelj. Those are the columns that specify which body model to display when the various types of clothes/robes/armour are equipped. You'll see most NPCs have a fixed appearance by specifying the same model regardless of what they have equipped. In the case of Yuthura it's N_SithComF, as I mentioned in my previous post. To allow her to display the body model of whatever equipment she has, you just need to change the model/tex entries to those used by the player/party rows. Note that if you are copying from the player characters, you want to use the values from a row labelled "medium". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuthura no longer has her default appearance but now when I warped to Korriban to see if it works she now has her head but Juhani's underwear and body. I copied Juhani's columns from modela to modelj. Is there any way to fix this or should I start over? Thanks for the help by the way. I really appreciate it.

DarthParametric Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Have you actually equipped any robes/armour on Yuthura in her UTC? If you are seeing an underwear model, I gather not. If you plan to have her running around half-naked, you probably want to reference one of the female player models instead (well she'd actually probably need a custom texture to match her head, but that's another story).

DarthParametric Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Are you sure they are equipped and not just in the inventory? If you are editing the UTC in KOTOR Tool and open the inventory, what happens when you mouseover the chest slot icon? Does it show something like "Robe of Robiness (g_a_awesomerobe)" or "(empty)"? If it is empty, copy the item ResRef, double click on the item slot, paste in the ResRef in the window that pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put them both in Custom items and Standard items but they're still not showing up. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Is it possible I could send the files to you and you could tell me what I'm doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hrmm...I'm pretty rusty on NPC editing. I'll have to try and remember how to do it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kainzorus Prime Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I did this as part of the NPC Overhaul for K1. You can look at the files for it and tinker around as you want. Basically, it was a three-step process 1. Find appearance.2da entries for unique sith students (Shardaan/Lashowe/Mekel) and give them regular body entries. 2. Unpack the modules in which the characters appear, modify the .utc files of all the relevant characters, give them the feats needed to wear the robes and the robes themselves. 3. Repack the files into .mod files and place them into modules folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what I do Yuthura keeps showing up with her head and Juhani's body. I just can't seem to fix it for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
