Do you have any more details? Do you have other mods installed? Do you mean that you cannot equip him at all - no weapons, no armor, no nothing? What happens when you try? And lastly, Welcome to Holowan.

Wow, finally I got to post 500.. It only took me 3 years!

You need to be a bit more detailed. Can you equip armor / gloves, etc?

When you try to equip him with things, what happens? Does the game crash? Does it equip the item and then the item is invisible? Does it not let you equip anything because they're all red? When you click on a weapon and hit equip, does it just go back to the equip screen and not equip?

There are 100 possibilites.You need to help us narrow down what could be the problem.

I can equip anything but no weapons;all weapons on the screen are reed(you dont have the right pre...),the game doesnt crash, the item isnt invisible because it isnt equiped.

I see, that's better. What prerequisite does it say you need? And have you tried unequipping everything, then trying it? And have you tried different weapons? Lightsaber, Blaster, Melee, etc.

Yeah, I understand. If it happens again, which it might, we can move our conversation to PMs. For now, let's continue.

You say you have the short saber and it also does not work?

Try reverting to an earlier savegame and reinstalling the mod. If that still doesn't work, maybe you could take a screenshot and post it or send me your savegame so I can take a look.

First of all, this isn't a chat room. I needed to step away for a bit, and one of the rules here is no bumping. Don't worry, I don't have to leave for another hour, and if I do, there are others here who are way more qualified to help you than me.

If you need to send me your savegame, go to your root TSL directory (By default, C:/Program Files/LucasArts/SWKotOR2/) and then open the 'saves' folder. Find the savegame that you are referring to here in this thread, and then zip it or whatever and send it to me. I'll PM you my addy right now.

Mmkay. To me, it seems that when Achilles made this mod, he didn't include the right feats for Mendah - the basic ones that allow him to wield weapons. Now, I can try to fix it two ways: either I can change the *.utc, which would cause you to have to go back to a previous save and then add him to your party again, or I can make a simple armband that would give him these feats and should allow you to play from there, but he'd have to wear it the entire game.

OK, I'm going to try the armband route. Let me have some time with it, and then I'll post with my success/failure.

Ok, I sent it back. It's an armband. Go ahead and put the file yoda596.uti into your override. Start up a game, cheat and use giveitem yoda596 then equip it. I made it so you couldn't use heavy weapons or rifles though, because they were huge compared to him. There was clipping with the ground when he put it at his side.

Anyway, hope this does it!

_EW_

EDIT:: If you are having the same problems with those others, yes it would work, but like I said, it wouldn't for Heavy Weapons or Rifles. If you would like me to make an individual one for each of the others, then I will.

Hmm... I'll try to, but I only have about 10 or 15 minutes till I have to go. So, let me work for a bit.

It looks to me like there is already one, but it's not working for some reason... I think it's because there's no portraits.2da.

OK, I'm going to send you a fixed version of your savegame where Mendah has a portrait. The only thing is, you'll need to readd the armband to your inventory and reequip it, because this will overwrite your current save.

Go ahead and send me an email anytime you need my personal help, but remember, sometimes others have your questions and you can help them by getting an answer publicly.

To fix Mendah, I used KotOR tool to check which feats he had and which he needed, and then I used it also to create a new armband which gave the feats. Then I threw it in Override and tested it.

To fix the portrait, I used KotOR tool to add a line in portraits.2da for Mendah's graphic. Then I used KSE to change the Mendah in your party to have that icon. I also changed the *.utc files with KotOR tool in case you start a new game. That way, it should now automatically come up with that portrait if you get him again.

Glad I could help.

Yes if you have a item that gives you a feat that alows you to weild a weapon you will no longer have that item equiped when traveling to a new area, so you will have to re equip his light saber everything you cahnge areas. Their is no way around this if you want to continue to use the arm band to allow him to equip his saber.

I didn't really realize this. If you would like me to do the *.utc fix so that way you can go back and get him again and not have to do that, let me know.

_EW_

PS... I'm fixing the other icons, too.
