personally I can't really understand why someone would want to replace a Cathar with a Human, there are way too many human NPCs anyways. but that's just my personal alien-loving opinion. good recruitment-mods can be very interesting, so keep up the o...  [Read More]

isn't duxn using a different module-file for the hawk? that's just a wild guess on my side, but afaik there are multiple modules for the hawk for different situations. so you'd have to edit that specific module-file. or else it's some kind of script,...  [Read More]

they have the right position in gmax and you used taina's replacer-tool to convert the files for the game, I assume? well, head-models are a damn tricky thing. taina's replacer can only handel simple vertex-movements, but no movements of helpers and...  [Read More]

thanks for the feedback and tips. like bullobrien said, I probably won't get back to modding until late june. but I think anyways, that I'd like to wait for a skin-update, until I change the model again, so I can work with the new texture right away....  [Read More]

looks great, man! I hope I can get some model-work done tomorrow. And don't worry about the 2da's and the TSLPatcher. I got it all figured out to let it implement a new PC-appearance with new filenames, nothing overwritten, fully compatible with ever...  [Read More]

nice job! I agree with redrob on the eyes, the lightside ones stick out too much. Overall I'd make the darkside2 even more evil. I mean, that's the one that's supposed to look as evil as it gets, right ;)? The [WIP] you can add to your thread when y...  [Read More]

awsome texture, good job! if you'd like, I could try once again and reshape the head to a more togruta-like form. I tried to make one before, but put the work on the shelf, 'cause I suck at texturing and a green togruta just sucks ;). I haven't modde...  [Read More]

Sure you can. just create a TSLPatcher, that does exactly that change in appearance.2da and nothin' else. Should be easyly doable even if you never worked with the Patcher before if you follow the extensive readme-file line-by-line....  [Read More]

they sure do! all the alien-heads have full facial animations. the turning of the neck looks a little bit 'streched' on some models. the quarren has got those two sacks there for example. but there's no way around that really ;)....  [Read More]

ok, the good news is: the Sullustan and the Trandoshan are working great too and I learned a lot about modelling again ;). the bad news: I'm stuck with the Nikto head. what I'm trying is merging the Weequay head and the Nikto-face. but I just can't...  [Read More]

by polygons do you mean vertexes? how is that done? but it's basically what I had in mind. the ears might be a bit tricky too and the uvw-map might have to be redone to smooth the borderline of the face and the rest of the head....  [Read More]

well, separating the heads is the easy part. now that I know what to do, it takes me less than an hour to chop off the head from the body, adjust it and add headgear-helpers ... that is, if all goes well ;). the ones that don't work so well and the u...  [Read More]

there are large body-models? hm, I gotta give that some investigation then, I guess. rightnow, I'm just getting the other heads done. Nikto: (I know, the neck is a bit wierd, but the hood is just part of the head-structure, so I don't know whether i...  [Read More]

well, next one up, the Gran ... this guy has one huuge thing of a head ;). So, again it would be handy to know how to rescale a model, if that's possible at all! Any suggestions? also, for some reason the game won't display his ears. they're there w...  [Read More]

well, coudn't get that bone-business straight yet, so any advice on how to add a necklwr_g bone to the Bith head would be welcome. got the Duros-head done now though. it's fully working, although most goggles are just too tight for that old bubblehe...  [Read More]

ah, thanks guys. so, my suspicion was right. I just wasn't sure as I don't have much knowledge about the theory behind 3d-modelling (like bones and stuff). so, I'm gonna seh, whether I can shove a bone in that Bith's neck ;)....  [Read More]

I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna make some custom variants of those heads. A custom Zabrak, Devaronian and female Twi'lek are already in the pipe. But for now, I'm gonna focus on making the standard heads playable, which is a sufficient task in itself...  [Read More]

ok, I found this 'walkthrough' for getting TSL to work in widescreen. worked fine for me, you need a no-cd exe and a hex-editor, however. the problem is, that UniWS does only part of the job on the TSL-exe: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum...  [Read More]
