Ahh ok I was thinking I could save people the headache of using my 2das (since I don;t know how to code execuables to change 2da's) and bypass all of that when uploading my mods as saved games. Ah well 2da's it is lol Thx...  [Read More]

I've downloaded a few interesting saved games for K2 (one you could play as Hanharr from the begining - renamed Chewbacca) and realized that some of the information from the 2da modifications were retained by the save - how much can be retained in a...  [Read More]

Then, it is likely because the row in appearance.2da has no entries for the various body models, that is likely what is causing the crash. So if you want to use that appearance row as a PC disguise you will need to copy the model and text entries (l...  [Read More]

Just a guess, but the line in appearance.2da might be refrencing a model that no longer exists in the game files or has been re-named. See the appearance.2da file in TSL is the KotOR I file (with some additional fields) and all the new TSL characte...  [Read More]

Remaining junk resources from Neverwinter Nights, most likely. The KotOR games are based on the NWN Aurora engine at the core, which has been modified for the new games. There are lots of other things left from NWN to be found here and there among th...  [Read More]

Persistence is the key ;), keep it up, aside from the chin hickup the reskin is pretty good overall. If you had seen some of my earliest attempts at mods you'd consider yourself a god right now. Just ask any of the folks who were here when I started...  [Read More]

Mask the beard leftover just below the face, you can even see it still on texture. Also the dark hair on the face doesnt blend with rest of hair. On personal note, Hispanic long haired head would fit better in terms of shape. lol I was wondering wh...  [Read More]

I thought disguises (NPC's) were fixed to have what they wear as permanent. If not, then I'd imagine you would need to find them in appearance.2da and point their section on armor to your files. Though I myself am just learning about this so someone...  [Read More]

The tutorial was flawless period. I used the Twilek as an example case. The reason I chose an example case of an alien was multi-fold, 1 at the time people were wanting selectable twilek and devaronian heads, 2 those types of heads required a little...  [Read More]

If the modder had made a completly new selectable head 2da's and all then you weren't running into the exact same appearance you were running into the original appearance. Also unless an NPC is a custom modded one they use there own body models which...  [Read More]

I used twilek as the example and I stated that it will work for any of the heads. As to where retexturing comes in all you are doing is editing the tga file in a paint program and throwing it in overide. So since my tutorial tells you to rename the f...  [Read More]

Thats it, you need to create your own custom color crystal for your custom saber for it to be upgradeable. That part should be covered in my tutorial for K1, I'll go back and read it and let you know if anything is different. Well I found everythin...  [Read More]
