Ahh, the joys of K2 modding and the genius of the developers reusing the same file names in multiple modules. :frown: My best recomendation would be one of a couple different options. First you could merge the dialog files together. While this seems...  [Read More]

I suppose if you compared the NWmax script executable to the CADD script language and created it yourself it would be possible. Also I'm assuming you don't mean the maps but you mean the area "Models" as maps are the layout of the area whic...  [Read More]

You don't have to add new Vertices you could always stretch the ones that are there and use taina's replacer tool. However if the cloak is to short your likely going to end up with a starchy effect that clips like is the problem with the Revan's cuts...  [Read More]

Adding new buildings and scenery: for now you can't do this. You can only add new placeables, npcs, doors, etc and reskin an existing area. Can I half agree with you here Darth333? There was this one thread awhile back where one of our newer members...  [Read More]

I was talking about models that ignore whatever you put in the 2da files. The game only reads the textures set internally in those model files no matter what changes you do in 2DA files. Some models seem to work this way from what I've seen. I under...  [Read More]

Some models aren't set up to allow their textures to be changed externally. I don't know if this applies to creatures like Hanharr, but I've noticed some models only use the texture specified within the MDL file. To change those you'd have to use sep...  [Read More]

Since I never tested for DS transitions before this will be the only thing that might pose a hangup. However when you change the way the texture is read into the game in appearance.2da I believe it might allow for this same texture to handle the Texa...  [Read More]

You reskin aliens and droids the same way you would with a character model. The difference comes down to how you test it in game. I use KSE and change the appearance of my character to that of the on I plan on retexturing and save it. Then I play wit...  [Read More]

If your just changing item properties in the UTI file it would be rated a '1'. However depending on how much more complex you want to go it can go as high as a '7' or so. This of course would include new fully skinned lightsabers with custom stats, n...  [Read More]

Do you have the Microsoft .NET Framework v1.1 (not v2.0) installed on your computer? It is required to run KotorTool. Actually you need both v1.1 and v2.0. They can be downloaded directly from microsofts updates website. I mention that you need bot...  [Read More]

Well that would make sense even for the double digit item numbering as then you could get upto 255 items with using Hex in the digit place effectively 01-FF. Would you mind testing this theory and see if it excepts a "G" for that last lette...  [Read More]

You need any number (not only 99 or 255) from 1-99 for KI and from 1-255 for KII. But most of numbers are occupied in KII (in KI too), so you don't have really big choice. You can actually number up too 255 in both games if you are using the default...  [Read More]
