By "texture in Blender" presumably you are referring to procedural textures? No, those are not usable in the game (or any game). You will need to UV map your model and make a raster texture for it (the TGA format is what is used for KOTOR)....  [Read More]

If you are already proficient with Blender then do all your modelling and mapping there and then export your finished model as an OBJ. Do a search here for info on the GMax OBJ import plugin and how to use it to get your model into GMax. If you are j...  [Read More]

I've never encountered that problem myself, but I've never unwrapped (or modelled) in GMax. I've only ever used it as an export tool, exporting models modelled and mapped in another app. Detaching the faces as TriggerGod described is something I've a...  [Read More]

Yeah all the hand helpers are bugged pretty much. In my experience with sabers, the bugged helpers are reversed between males and females (i.e. if the left hand helper in males is screwed, the right hand helper in females is screwed for the same set...  [Read More]

You also need to make a TXI file that specifies what texture will show through the transparency. Make a text file and add the line: envmaptexture CM_baremetal Save it and rename it the same as your saber's texture. So, for example, if you saber's t...  [Read More]

Ah yes, it has been so long since I've played with that stuff I'd forgotten about that. I would say that would be the problem. Just replace the hilt. The only time to replace the blades is when you physically alter the blade planes, which in my limit...  [Read More]

You don't link them to the AuroraBase, you link them to the hilt. Your hierarchy should look like this: http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo185/DarthParametric/Saber_Setup.jpg...  [Read More]

Yes, that's why I asked if you were using custom textures. The default blade colours don't need a TXI. Are you linking all 4 blade planes to the hilt? You mentioned something about only 2 in an earlier post. Remember that two of them will appear as...  [Read More]

Well there's two things there. The first is I don't model in GMax, so my models always had to be imported and set up for use first, hence why I always had them as a separate file. The second is I haven't touched a KOTOR mod in a long time, so I'm goi...  [Read More]

The blade planes are linked to the hilt, the hilt is linked to the dummy, the dummy is linked to the AuroraBase. You should only ever need to touch the hilt and the blade planes though - there is no reason to ever unlink/relink the dummy. The NGon is...  [Read More]

I always found the best way to link was by using the Select By Name tool rather than doing it in the viewport. Just make sure everything is linked exactly the same as the original hilt was. As far as orange sabers go, I assume you are referring to t...  [Read More]

If you are missing blade planes it could be you are not linking them all up before export. Double check that. You might want to try NWMax v0.7. There's a link to it in one of my posts earlier in the thread. And stick with MDLOps v0.5 - v0.6 doesn't w...  [Read More]
