My guess is that it should work. Good luck!

Re: Star Wars - The Old Republic - Beta
Damn..
It asks me to make file smaller because original file is smaller than new

Re: Star Wars - The Old Republic - Beta
Argh: That's something that was mentioned in the thread about the nude mod. For some reason the game checks that the files aren't bigger than the originals. The author, when redoing the textures to show nipples and genitalia, had to be careful to keep them under their original filesize .
For the mesh files a possible solution could be to use the reduced polygon count versions that the game uses when the objects are too distant to the camera, instead. Those have a ".lod" in their filenames (I think it means "level of detail"). Say:
chest_armor01_bmn_heavy_sw_a07_hoodup.lod.gr2
(it might be necessary to rename it, deleting the ".lod" part)
I don't know how worse-looking they are

Re: Star Wars - The Old Republic - Beta
ZeroGravitas if you can, can you search for "16140952691667918224" through all files extracted.. Does it mentioned somewhere?

Re: Star Wars - The Old Republic - Beta
I'm as much of a noob myself, so no worries
I see from your posts that this reference number comes from the XML block for Darth Scotia's chest. Sadly, those long Ids at the head of those blocks never seem to be useful for anything when searching for parts: At least I've never found matches for them. Only the other Ids (ModelId, MaterialIndex and such) seem to be useful.

Re: Star Wars - The Old Republic - Beta
ZeroGravitas have you ever "played" with dds?
i downloaded plugin for photoshop - edit dds, but dunno what option i need to choose when save.

Re: Star Wars - The Old Republic - Beta
I'm afraid not I've found a couple of free apps that read and convert .dds, too. Perhaps, when previewing the original .dds, they might show information about what options to choose:
https://www.xnview.com/en/xnview/
https://www.xnview.com/en/xnconvert/
There are a lot of other utilities around. I believe GIMP has native support for the format

I'm going to have to leave my computer now. I'll keep an eye on the thread to see if I can be of more help. Good luck!

Re: Star Wars - The Old Republic - Beta
Fantastic!
The shininess problem could be because of other texture files associated to every model. The ones ending with a "_d.dds" hold the colors of the model, but there are others:
• The ones ending in "_s.dds" hold the way the parts of the models shine.
• The ones ending in "_n.dds" hold the model's surface relief, so to speak (the Normals).
• There are others, ending in "_m.dds" and "_h.dds", that hold things like what areas are affected by a dye, what parts of the model have light, etc.
So perhaps you could try repeating what you did before to the .dds files ending in "_s.dds" and see what happens. It's a bit of boring work, but…

Re: Star Wars - The Old Republic - Beta
Yeah . Some version of this tool and the scripts posted in that original thread work with the character selector and cutscenes, but only for the female characters. I don't know what the trick is to make it work with male ones yet.

Re: Star Wars - The Old Republic - Beta
A question of my own: Has anybody constructed an Outbreak Response Lightsaber (the one sold by the Rakghoul Event vendor)? Sadly, Jedipedia has no Model IDs for this one. I'm trying to see if this lightsaber is just like some other one with just some glowy textures added.
