KOTOR Mods? Skins? etc... anyone know how yet?

As it says, anyone know of any utils or how to extract textures for KotOR yet? Any mod site links for the game as well?

If I knew, there'd already be a Darth Revan skin, as well as a Sith Trooper, Malak, a Mandalorian, HK-47, Canderous in Verpine Zal Alloy Mesh, and Carth in Calo Nord's Battle Armor.

Come to think of it, someone needs to make an Armor Mod much like the Melee Mod, except that it would work with and without Melee Mod.

 

If you know how to script, there is a way to look like any model in the game, including Darth Revan. The trick is to force the game to always have you wearing a disguise.

 

On the official KotOR boards, last I checked, they weren't allowed to talk about modding. Ever.

So, I'm guessing when people do mod, Bioware/Lucasarts cracks down on them?

Might make it hard finding mods. *sigh* I want a multiplayer mod

 

Lucasfiles.com has a modding section for KOTOR over at their boards, so I assume that you can mod.

EDIT: And the annoucement over at the Bioware boards says this:
Bioware/LucasArts cannot condone the modding of any game that does not have a specific toolset designed for that purpose. This is not the forum to discuss mods. Search the internet to find what you're looking for.

It sounds like they just aren't allowing modding at the Bioware boards, not elseware.

Of course, it's up to JP to decide what the rules are over here.

 

Hmmm. Indiana Jones EULA states no modding, but after a bunch of requests LucasArts relented and said you could mod it but only if the mods were released at lucasfiles.com.

As they didn't release any tools for modding, I don't think they've got very far above tweaking a couple of weapon specs and inserting a new splash page.


If there's already KOTOR modding discussion at the boards at lucasfiles.com, then it's in the communities best interest to keep all discussion together rather than fragmenting and posting a bit of info here, a bit there etc.

So - feel free to talk in general about KOTOR modding in this thread, but probably for the best to keep any real technical data / talk of the specifics of extraction tools etc. in the lucasfiles forum.



Does that make sense?

 

> Lucasfiles.com has a modding section for KOTOR over at their boards, so I assume that you can mod.

The only link on lucasfiles.com to boards are to the separate LucasForums.com, and not to a specific board.

Anyway here's the KOTOR modding board at Lucasforums.com for those interested; Holowan Laboratories

 

Ah, my mistake. I assumed that Lucasfiles and Lucasforums were one and the same.

 

No problem. Just looked through some of the threads. Wowzers!

Still there are some nifty things starting to happen in the modding community, due to the fact a lot of the NWN tools work).

Also the basics of skinning have been discovered.
