Howdy,new here,i was wondering if its possible to make the PC models NPC?you know like the starting PC models you get to pick in the game...i checked the model tutorial in the swoop garage site,but i'm a bit confused,since i never really modded NWN or KOTOR before,anyways,i would like to know if anyone can help me in switching a model,make it NPC,lets say for example make all sith soldier models into scoundrel/soldier/scout model....anyone can help on this?

thanks in advance :)

err hope i'm not pissing anyone off :p,i really need some help on the issue.Anyone can help please?

Ok i think i figured a few things out,i downloaded both tools,the KOTOR tool,and the 2da viewer,i did'nt touch the kotor tool yet,but from what i understand,i must place the 2da file into the Override directory,but did'nt notice any changes,am i doing something wrong here?

... hey don't worry your not annoying anyone (dont swear it = flames and flames = banishment) it just that all the major modders are modding away and they will reply in time, and no i ain't a modder, sorry, try PM ing Mgnails hes fideling wit models.

HEY GUYS!!! THIS NEW COMER HAS DONE THREE POST BY HIM-SELF HELP HIM, DON'T DISCOURAGE THE POOR LAD FROM MODDING!

(hope that persuades them)

Ah thanks for the help :D ok i think i figured something out with the KOTOR tool,i can extract the skins and models i think,i extracted the .mdl and .tga now its only a matter of replacing the files no?how would i do that?

My english is bad, and im head ache is killing me but i will try to tell you when i undestand your question correct ;)

Example ?
U want that Mission looks like female scout with a Twilek Head?
All u need is Kotor Tool

With Kotor Tool u extract the
appearence.2da
head.2da
portraits.2da
first and look at them.

The PC Models/Figures are strange named labels in the appearence file.

P_Fem_*
P_Mal_* they start.

P --> Player
Fem = Female or Mal=Male

Next to this u read
sml,med,lrg sml = scoundrel med=scout lrg=soldier

when u follow the lines to the right u come to columns which labeld modela modelb and so on

modela = basemodel when u put the clothes away of the charakter
texa = the skinname to above

modelb/texc = basic clothing
model C and so on is increasing armor (light medium heavy and so on there are class4,5,6,7,8,9 and so the letters)


So no scroll up where P_MissionBB stands u see here also entries for modela and so on. All u need is to copy the scout (which one doenst really matter) entries for models/textures to the "Missions" entries.
But NPC don't have a "evil" texture so texevil let empty


That was the basic thing your mission's body looks a scout now with the head of the twilek Mission.

The portrait file and the head file is after this very selfexplaining.


hope could help a bit but im not good in explaining and than this in english :rolleyes:

Ah cool i figured it out,i can see the model,and the head,but how do i replace it with the starting clothing?i don't want to see the model with the underwear but the defualt clothing,how can i do that?

EDIT:Ok i did it,the models are fully functional!!thanks for the help!
