Very cool, great job!!

Any chance of a TSL version? If not, would you mind at least educating a modding newbie here on how to do it?

Thank you very much! And I do plan on a TSL release, but not necessarily very soon. I haven't actually done a TSL mod yet so I don't know the differences between the two games. However, if you want to at least start just simple changes you can go here http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=195966. It's my first mod but it has a tutorial (also my first and only, so far) included in the zip on how to make new heads. It's very basic but it's where I started at, so maybe it will help you start as well! In the future maybe I'll do a tutorial on how to do a whole new character from start to finish like Mara here. Be sure to check back and see if I release a TSL version, but also send me a link if you get a mod out there as well. I'd love to see it. (If you don't have any experience with any modding tools go to http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=143421 to find out how and where to start)
And one of the most important tips I can give you on modding (or any project, really) is this: Stay Organized! I have a zillion folders and sub folders for my Juhani mod and v1 of Mara. Mara 2.0 I have one main folder, a folder for all the original files that were extracted with KOTOR TOOL and then the final zip folder. It made things work much smoother and quicker.

great work. In combination with my mod I should be able to make one of my companions turn into Mara Jade

Does it replace or add a head? (hoping for replace)
Looks like it is a head addon. Could you replace an existing head for me? It makes it more compatable to other types of mods

Great work! Love this.

If I'm not mistaken all you would have to do is copy the .mdl and .mdx files, rename them to the desired head and it should work. I haven't tried this so don't shoot me if it doesn't work out.

Hey thanks. I found out recently that geometry can be added to bodies so I've already modeled a new less sucky version of Mara's outfit. When redrob41 has time he'll try and work on the texture (seeing as I suck at them). That could be awhile since he's working on the Revenge of Revan mod as well as a couple more projects he and I are working on together. And who knows, maybe I'll find a way to texture it that doesn't make it look like I vomited all over it.

I'm very glad to see TSL patcher version out miro!!!

thanks again ...

Great work on this Mara Jade head for KotOR, thanks!

How hard would it be to get this working in TSL? Just finished KotOR and downloading mods atm to start TSL?

Thanks for any tips.

Acleacius · 01-18-2011, 11:28 AM

I was able to get Jade Mara working in TSL well it's very close, at least until miro42 the upgrade to TSL.

Since I've never used any modeling tools, took the skin and portrait files then renamed them with another mdl and mdx from another mod, the skins and portraits worked. Well her hair isn't as long as intended and not the same style, it's the same as one of the vanilla styles.

Thanks again for on this looking forward to seeing your finished TSL version.

Edit: Much Better, they match now.

The screenie looks great Acleacius, so you renamed other mod mdl/mdx right? which one? have you tried with new model names?

thanks

Acleacius · 01-18-2011, 09:32 PM

Hey ya GeorgNihilus, thanks.

This method is very crude since I don't have modeling skillz, but it looks nice enough to use.

Yes, took the mdl and mdx from a mod called Slender Bodies for Females. It's was the only Redhead model, last time I played, about 5 years ago iirc. It does replace an existing head, "pfhc07.mdl" and "pfhc07.mdx", then renamed miro42's .tga files to PFHC07.

I had the installer "change.ini" all edited and working for TSL to make this an independent head as miro42 had done originally. But those pesky KotOR mdl and mdx files wouldn't work.

Hey all! I'm back in a big way with my Mara Jade PC mod now for TSL!

Yeah, I rock pretty hard.

Check out the pics and the download on the original post.

Acleacius · 01-17-2012, 03:55 PM

Thanks for the update miro42!

I'm using it for a KotOR run atm, wanted to make a request. Could we please have a version with blue or green eyes and without the jumpsuit? Guess the eyes are more important, since I can edit the appearance.2da to just use base underwear.

As an example here is the outfit I'm using Bastila's gold trim robes from Tangster

UPDATE: I posted a new download link in place of the defunct megaupload link at my website on the original post, or you can just fast download it here.

Doesn't seem as if any of the links are working...

Sorry about that. I redid my website and forgot to change some file names around. My website one should work. The KOTORFiles only seems to work if you're logged in on their site. Not sure why.

Hi, Miro

It seems that all the links for KOTOR1 version is down.

Could you please re-upload?

Thank You

Indeed and I did. It's waaaaaaay at the bottom of the OP or you can just click me (<--- do this; I didn't change anything else so there's no point in wasting two seconds of your life going to that first post).

Of course, if any other links aren't working please let me know. I'm messing around with my website because I hate it's face so things are getting a little messy, causing many links to die a horrible, painful death.

Tigersong · 05-02-2013, 07:00 PM

Thanks! I've got it now and will make use of it next time I start a new game.
