Hello all,
Hey, is that Mission holding a G11? Why, I do believe it is!
http://home.comcast.net/~cchargin/kotor/mission-g11.jpg)
Ok, folks, I have written a script that will import SIMPLE models into kotor. What are simple models? They are models with no animations, dangly mesh, or skin mesh. For example:
- blasters (pistols, rifles, carbines, etc..)
- swords (normal and vibro)
- grenades
- masks
No, light sabers are NOT supported (yet).
Please note that the release number for import is 0.0! This means there is a chance that a model can CRASH kotor. Yes, anyone using this script is an alpha tester. If you run into any problems please let me know so I can fix them.
Also PLEASE read the tutorial included with import or you will go nuts trying to figure out what's wrong.
On a side note I wanted to mention that when you import models with animations into gmax you can remove some of the glitches by pressing the "reset controllers" button on the utils rollout.
OK, here are the files:

Have fun!
Astonishing Progress cchargin, we are one step closer to that Count Dooku curved lightsaber hilt.....*drools*
Excellent Progress

This sounds great :)
The downside is, now i must learn how GMAX is used too damn :(
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES WAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEYEYEYYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYE
sorry im happy, so does this reconvert the .mdl-out file back into the original mdl?
ok im stuck, i cant find some things in gmax
in the model tutorial file you mention alot of things like we should have them, and i dont :(, so where can i get:
nwmax: you keep saying to use it but i cant see it anywhere.
nwsnoop
These are very good news! Great work cchargin!!!
:clap2::band1 :clap2: :sheepdanc
Wow, this is fantastic to hear. This will open a lot of doors to modders. Keep up the good work, cchargin! :)
ah yes...
it is finally possible, you really can make a "mask" that looks lika boba fett's or darth vader's helmet...
i can't wait to see what the real pro modelers could do...
I shall now start the paperwork to make you a god :D
Hello all,
Yes, I should have mentioned the tools you will need. Here is the list:
You need 5 things to mess with kotor models:
1) Kotor tool to extract the .mdl, .mdx and textures
2) extract0-5 to turn the binary .mdl and .mdx into an ascii .mdl file
3) gmax or 3d studio max (gmax is free)
4) nwmax to import the ascii .mdl into gmax or 3d studio max
5) import0-0 to import simple models back into kotor
kotor tool:

extract0-5:
http://home.comcast.net/~cchargin/kotor/extract0-5.zip)
gmax:

nwmax:

import0-0:

Nwmax is an add in for gmax. It has a program called nwmax.exe that lets you export models from gmax into neverwinter nights format. Normally you can't export from gmax. When you install nwmax and run nwmax.exe you can export. Find the nwmax.exe in gmax\scripts\nwmax\
Now I can make a throwable banana that makes enemies fall over, victory shall be mine! :D
Suh-WEET!!!
You've done it again cchargin, I can't wait to try a lil' something now... *grins*

Orsan has made a Boba-Fett helmet check out this thread;
Boba Fett Helmet (

Or Download Here (

It is a little big, most noticeable on a female PC, but it still is pretty cool! :D
I hope this helps!
This thread ought to be stickied.

I thought that helmet was just a re-skin of your pc head.
i have a question is it possible tho make a helm that looks like darth mauls horns? cuz all the skins just has the horn painted
and it it cool on one way but a helm that give 3d horns would be greater :D
Ok I dont want to be a pain I'm just curious about this, when do you think we will be completly able to import everything into the game?
Someone told me I dont remember who it is that another person is planning, when it is possible of course, to make Darth Revan's Cape animated. I dont know if it will be possible or no I'm just here curious on how this model importation is doing and if that animation thing willl be possible.

Cchargin is working on it, these things take time.

Yes it does! So pertty please with sugar on top will you put it up for download.
P.S. Not a very good idea to be surfing the net or forums after a night at the bar.
Hello all,
when do you think we will be completly able to import everything into the game?
Sadly, for "importing everything" I do not know if that will be possible.
Right now there are 2 main problems that are keeping me from coming out with the next version of import:
1) non quaternion animations
2) an unknown mesh type in light sabers
A while ago tk102 suggested that I try changing just the mesh of a model and leave the rest of it alone. I think I have enough information on the model structure to give this a try. This would allow for limited new light sabers and placeables. I am working on this idea now.
And Cchargin you gonna put the G-11 up for download
G11? What G11? I don't know what you are talking about.
