I would like to change the look of a robe to look like a piece of armor and a gun to look like another gun model how do i do this? None of the posts in the tutorial forums told me how to do it!

Im pretty sure that this is in the wrong room but i couldn't find anywhere else to put it! AH!! sorry about this people!

if you have kotor tool you go to BIF's then to templates.bif then to blueprint,item then choose what you want to change (they are listed as the code so look it up here: http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/info/cheatskotor2) ) then double click the name and it opens a box and you need the change the the last 2 #s to a higher 2 diget # and then change the base item box to what ever you want and then play around with the properties box and if you want click description and change the name and ite description. if you still dont understand tell me and ill find a better tutorial

Alright... So, find the TGA for Battle Armor... As well as the Model for it. Take those and then change them so that they're named the same as the robe's that you are modifying TGA... At least, I think that's what you do...

Help?

ok changed and modified things but now how do i get it in the game without it overwriting the actual game files like haveing my blaster replace the mining lasers and having the robe appear on the Harbinger and Make it so that the republic soilders wear them(i know strange but i have an idea for a mod and i want to see how the robes work on them)

Hmmm..... Well, you could check with Twi'leks, they seem to have the ability to wear armor. So, that's probably a good bet.

Never even thought of that....

Well, in that case, this is going to take more editing... You're going to have to open the .utc of every character you want to wear this armor... then you're going to have to place it on their person... And, in some of these cases, they're not going to be able to wear the armor due to an already modeled clothing and whatnot.

Otherwise... I don't really know how to help... Sorry.

Edit: Wait!!!!

You're going to have to create another item like an implant or something, and then place it in the people who need to wear the armor, make the implant run a disguise property. So your Khoonda militia people all look like commoners or what, and then you'll just equip the armor to them....

I think that should work... Somebody please know!

Either way, its gonna be a whole lot of .utc editing, and then you'll have to create a quick custom item... I don't know if its worth it or not!

its not as hard as you think just edit the .utc for one type of commener there are types they dont all have different .utc files so it will take about 1/4th the time you think it will

Edit: yes you could i do thats what i used for the miner mod i made for you

Oh, yeah, you have to use KotOR tool for this one!

While K-GFF is downright handy, KotOR Tool is a real time saver!

Yes, use it!
