Comments
----------------------------------------
I always though the default Ajunta Pall character was a little uninteresting and generic, looking the same as the enemies you fight in the game. So here, at last is an cool appearance to match his cool voice.

There are 2 variations of the head to choose from, with ghostly eyes or with sith eyes. To use the Sith Eyes version, copy the file from the Sith Eyes folder into the override folder after the installation.

Also the horrible shield effect has been removed.

Should you want to retain the shield effect on Ajunta Pall, don't move 'clear_effects.ncs' or 'kor37_freedonnad.dlg' in the Override folder.


----------------------------------------
How to Install This Mod
----------------------------------------
- Unzip the contents of the folder into your Override directory, located in your LucasArts/SWKotOR folder.

----------------------------------------
How to UnInstall This Mod
----------------------------------------
- Remove all the listed files above from your Override folder.

Looking nice

will it work with your Brotherhood of shadow mod?

[Darth Vanisher]

Nice mod, seems great. Yes, a Sith Lord shouldn't looks like a normal Dark Jedi.
The robe looks cool, can we acquired it after we defeat him?

The robes arn't wearable by the PC, as they use a different model then the standard Jedi Robe. I'm not a big fan of replacing stuff.

[sekan]

Very nice Always hated the fact that he had the same look as a normal Dark Jedi.

[LORD SPARTAN]

Cool mod, I had a similar idea once, but never had time to completed it. Now it's irrevalant to do so thanks to this cool mod. Have you though of playing with alpha chanel to make Ajunta Pall a bit transparent like in movies?

[Wookiee Rrudolf]

Now this is something I've been waiting for! Dark Lord should have unique look and now he has it
But I would like to see him looking more "ghost-like" instead of "zombie-like". But anyway it's really cool mod. Great job, keep it up

[sekan]

Time to take Shems job... hehe

This mod is now available at filefront!

[Zerimar Nyliram]

I'm trying to modify my existing appearance.2da file in my override folder to incorporate your skin, Silveredge9, but I don't know what line it is that I'm looking for.

[Silveredge9]

I believe all you need to do is copy the Unique_Sith_Ghost line, which governs the appearence of Ajunta Pall.

[Kazeite]

I agree with Wookiee Rrudolf and Lord Spartan - the skin looks fantastic, but Ajunta doesn't look like a ghost. Now, for me, he should've looked more like Marka Ragnos from JK3 - more white and light-bluish colors.

Also, the transparency. I too would like him to appear slightly transparent (and in aforementioned color scheme), so I've made a transparency map that should make him partially transparent, like this:



however, ingame only part of his flaps appears transparent. Any ideas why's that?

[Fredi]

I like that armor.... can it be use for the main character? or done?

Depends on how a person likes their ghosts really. I tend to like mind looking as every day people like on the Sixth Sense or something.

Anyways, if you do manage to get the transparency thing fully working in the game I'll gladly release an update for those, who wish to have transparency, can do so.
Obviously giving credit where due.

It could be done, but that would mean replacing armour or robe models...

[Master Shake]

I like the armor alot too. good job silveredge!!!

[Silveredge9]

I'm including a semi transparent version of Ajunta Pall in a small update, for those ghost lovers out there. :P

[Ghost Down]

Damn, looking even better

- Ghost Down

[Altmaster]

Is it possible to make this compatible with your DS Bastila head reskin?

[Ghost Down]

I believe this is compatible with all his other mods..

- Ghost Down

[RoyalBlue]

BIIIIIIIIIIIIIG PROBLEM lol. Now I got a headless reven as Ajunta Pall! I think I screwed up my .2DAs lol. Any ideas to why this happened

[Wookiee Rrudolf]

BIG THANKS to you Silveredge9 for making transparent version Now this is what I've been expecting from an ancient Sith Lord (even ghost ). Great job!

[T7nowhere]

Nice work. I always meant to do something like this. I'm glad to see someone finally did.

[Zerimar Nyliram]

Question: I edited my appearance.2da file when I downloaded the first version. Will I need to edit it again for version 1.1? Does the new version use all of the same text for Ajunta Pall's line in the file as the first version?

It'd be a bugger if I have to edit it again.

[Silveredge9]

Nothing has changed concerning 2DA's. So you shouldn't need to do anything.

[Darth Xander]

Wow great job Silveredge9 that must have taken ages!

[Kazeite]

Splendid! What did you do to make the transparency work, Silveredge9?

[Silveredge9]

Nothing too fancy, just added a 50% alpha channel to the skin...

[Zerimar Nyliram]

Perhaps version 1.2 will have a blue tint to it like Force ghosts; and perhaps you could replicate the glow effect.

Not trying to push you, though. What you've done is more than impressive. Excellent job!

[Darth InSidious]

Very, very nice.

If I could make two suggestions, however, I would first recommend removing the beard - it doesn't work, IMO. Secondly, the blue glow effect would add some ethereal-ness to him.

Just suggestions, 'though.

[RoyalBlue]

First of all the beard is awesome! Secondly he can't add the blue effect because of the boundrys he has be forced to follow from kotor.

[Darth InSidious]

Umm...nope, nope, I'm pretty sure you can add transparency and a glow effect....

[Zerimar Nyliram]

Or just a blue tint, at least. It's just coloring.

[deathdisco]

The original just used a blue shield effect so yes, it's possible.
Nice work on the skin, looks great.

[Zerimar Nyliram]

I'm talking about making the skin itself blue.

[Silveredge9]

I might look into applying a glow. But not right now, as all my free time is currently focused on getting my main mod released before I start University in just over a week.

[herosinger]

Thanks for making the transparency option available. Now this is perfect.

[PrimusPilus]

Version 1.1 seems to be corrupted after downloading from Kotor Files...is there another link or can the corrupted .zip be fixed?

Works fine for me. What program do you use? I use Winrar.

[Master Niewiedzial]

See whenever you did him transparent. Why don't you try to reskin him to blue so he really looks like a force ghost.

[Zerimar Nyliram]

Also, the only thing that's transparent for me is that, erm... crotch cloth, the portion that hangs down. Aside from that he looks like a regular person.

It's a .zip so I just used xp's default zipper. I also have WinAce, I'll try it with that when I get home next week.
