Correct...

Incorrect, we do not even condone the discussion of these things here...

See, we only exist at the whim of LA, Bioware, and OE they 'tolerate' us because we do not step on any toes. If we discussed these things they wouldn't take too kindly to that, so we don't tempt fate.

Sorry no porting or discussions about porting.

[Dark_Ansem]

I wonder if an update is coming out... I was wishing for a completed version...

[RedHawke]

Being that AVol hasn't posted here in a very long time I would say no.

[Dark_Ansem]

damn it. I can only hope then that someone takes up his work and finishes it...

It's not that simple. You just don't go in and finish someone else's work.

Yep, you need to have the modders permission!

[Dark_Ansem]

I know. But what if Avol never comes back?

[Darth InSidious]

Then the mod stays as it is, and that's all there is to it.

[Darkkender]

It is beta-version! Some problems with animation!
You can use only one one-handed lightsaber!
Game can be crash when you select your character!

Are the following the things you are looking to get fixed?

If so the first 2 likely can't/won't be fixed as we have yet to fully crack model animations for the game or to be able to change nihilus saber wield animations.

The 3 glitch is caused by a hardcoded element within the engine and character selection and also cannot be fixed.

[Dark_Ansem]

I'm talking about running poses when you're low on health, for example. I know the third one cannot be fixed and about the lightsaber problem I don't care, I always use 1 lightsaber and that(apart from that there is a cool animation of Nihilus very similar of Darth Vader, he crosses his arms when standing. can you make nihilus alwas have it when he is staring at the sky? also, how can you make the player have it?)

[Darkkender]

Your poses are all Animation related. Since there has been very limited and next to no success except for the mysterious new leaning animation by the TSLRP which untill the secret is given to the community is most likely a hoax. So when this wonderful knowledge is spread to the community then there might be a chance for your poses to be changed and improved.

That one can likely be done with some swapping in animations.2da, since AVoL's Vader and Nihilus share animations. You'd just need to find the value for the crossed arms and put it in the column for the idle stance. There are tutorials on this site which will show you how to look for that kind of information.

The downside to this being that *everyone* will use that animation when standing idle, so if the default set of animations used by the player and 99% of NPCs contains a crossed arms aniamtion, everyone will use it when standing still.

[Darkkender]

I stand corrected on that point. Thanks Monkeyman

[logan essex]

is there a way to only use the armor and not the helmet?
or does anyone know of another vader armor mod for tsl?

[Master Zionosis]

This is the only alternative i could find, its for K1, but the model will be in K2 as well, so maybe you or some other modder could take it and convert it for TSL, Darth_Vader_Armor.zip

Sorry, this is all i could find,

Enjoy!

[TLM20]

Any screenies?

[thacoolkid]

Does anybody still have this mod for TSL? We all know that PCGameMods is dead, so the links don't work. Everybody is saying how dope this mod is and i'm goin nuts over here because i can't get it. Somebody plz link it or send it to me.

[Art Of Betrayal]

If someone does i would like to have it as well. that would be awesome.

[Master Michael]

@ thacoolkid and Art Of Betrayal: I have the file. Send me a PM with your email adresses, and I'll send you the file.

[johney truth]

Awesome mod. Too bad the author isn`t around to gain permissions for finishing or altering this mod. If anyone does modify it, though, would you send it to me?
thanx

Couldn't you just reZip/reRAR the files and post it here so that anyone can use it? It'd be a lot easier on everyone, including you.

Unfortunately no they can't, they would need the modders permisson to do so. If they secured permission from AVol then yes, they can. -RH

[RedHawke]

Folks, please stay on topic, I have had to use the pruning shears on this thread.

Also If you desire the mod and wish to take Master Michael's offer you need to use the Private Message (PM) system as he instructs. Posts here asking for the mod to be sent to them will simply be deleted. Thanks.

[darth bane92]

plz if anyone knows an active link tell me... i have been searching for ages now.

[Alexander the Great]

I sent you it in a PM, but if you want a link to something specific, put it in the PCGameMods thread.

[kolejorg]

Could someone please send me the vader mod as well?

[Master Niewiedzial]

Do you want it? Huh? Ok PM me and I send you it by e-mail.

[Robespierre]

You can find this mod here: http://forums.filefront.com/3415918-post4.html.

sorry friend. This was made from the Darth Nihilus
model, which, of course, is only in TSL.

[Druganator]

would it be possible to make one from malak or revan?

Probably not from the Revan model, since I believe that is missing most of its animations, if not all. The Jedi Malak model has some animations, though its missing a significant amount. For the official word, talk to Settoken and Sithspecter, they're the guru's on character animations. Of course, you could just make a start from a standard model.

[Sithspecter]

I'm working on making a supermodel that has flowing cape animations, and Revan's model uses the in-game supermodels. A supermodel is a base model that contains all the animations for the human body and facial model. The reason why Revan's cape doesn't flow is because the devs either cut it or never did it except for in the cutscenes. Malak's model is a fullbody model, and the devs only did his combat animations, again to save on time. A mod could be done (I'm not familiar with this mod so I'm not sure what it does) that would have Darth Vader and his cape. It's possible, but I don't see anyone taking it up soon.

I'm having trouble properly installing the Vader Armor mod by Avol. I have read the readme several times, and everytime I install it wants to go into my Override folder which I know its not supposed to be placed there. So do I create a folder or do I place it in another folder, if so which one? I'm a bit confused where to place all the files contents. If anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated!

[HK-42]

Do this: bring up the install pick the path Computer-Program Files-Lucasarts-Kotor2
Click kotor2 after you went through that then hit install. Some of the files WILL go into the override but it does other things to thats why it says dont pick the override as your main folder(you pick kotor2) then type in the cheat/import with KSE. Your done! Enjoy the mod

[Hawwi Joshe]

Thanks alot! I got it workin.

[HK-42]

No problem and whelcome to the amazing forums of lucasforums!!!

[Hawwi Joshe]

Can anyone tell me how you can skip the portait portion of your PC setup when you want to select Darth Vader outright as your PC? I read on the first page of this forum where someone else experienced this problem and a response that said "Edit button is your friend", although I'm not exactly sure what was meant by that. Anyone know a way to properly do this?

Edit: Nevermind, it took me a while but I FINALLY got it work

[z-bond7890]

Hey everyone, I'm new to Lucasforums
where can I get a copy of the darth vader armour? It looks absolutely stunning.

[-S-]

Stable Mirror. I say add this to the original post to prevent further 'where' questions.

Done, thanks DK.

I also wish to stress to new posters to please read the stuck threads before posting in these threads. Thanks. -RH
