Hello, It has been quite a while since I played K1 or K2, but I vaguely remember that all the sitting characters I saw in both games did not have any animation. They just sat there. I recall an animation where someone is standing and typing. That is...  [Read More]

Hello all, This is one of the most confusing things to explain about MDLOps: skin mesh models. When altering a skin mesh model (like heads, bodies, and armors) you will be dealing with 4 sets of files: A) The original binary .mdl and .mdx extracted...  [Read More]

Hello, I got the files you sent me. I just re-installed windows a little while ago AND my CD-ROM died, so getting back to a point where I could look at your files took me a bit of time! I noticed that your models are for K2, but your naming looks...  [Read More]

Hello, You can't use replacer for skin mesh models like bodies and heads. Also when compiling any model that has skin mesh you MUST have the original binary .mdl and .mdx in the same directory as your modified ASCII model! If you want to send me o...  [Read More]

Hello, The xbox model format contains less information than the pc model format does. My guess is that they chopped out some of the model structure to save space on the xbox. You might get lucky with some models. Some xbox models will convert to as...  [Read More]

Hello all, Here is more than you ever wanted to know about the internals of a kotor model. ;) If you were to peek into an .mdx you would see the data stored this way: vertex x, vertex y, vertex z, normal x, normal y, normal z, texture u, texture v...  [Read More]

Hello, Oldflash got most of it. But there is a little more to add. In a model the lightsaber blade consists of 4 planes. When you get a lightsaber into nwmax you only see 2 because 2 of the planes are a mesh type that nwmax does not support. So mdl...  [Read More]

One thing Cchargin, In KMM for TSL, you might want to add a function to add an override folder into the TSL directory if the user doesn not yet have it. Just a thought! Yep, already thought of it. KMM 0.4 is now available! (Feb 13, 2006) Starwars...  [Read More]

It seems that if you make K1 lightsaber work in K2 the saber blade is not displayed correctly. I found that some "planes" for the blade were missing in the converted K2 saber model. For lightsabers you have to use the replacer function i...  [Read More]

Probably a dumb question, but does this mean we can put new saber models into TSL as well No. Just to be mean I made sure that this version does not include replacer, so no more saber models. Of course I am kidding! ;) Everything you could do wit...  [Read More]
