HK-47 Texture Glitch (Kotor 1)

Fallen Guardian · 08-01-2011, 12:08 AM

So I installed Kotor 1 on my new PC with windows 7 on it and all works fine aside from two things. I can't enable soft shadows, and HK's texture is just messed up.

Show spoiler

Can anyone tell me what is going on? No mods have been applied to HK's texture or .TXI file.

Might that be an issue with your graphic card?

CptPriceless · 08-01-2011, 12:34 AM

It could be your graphic processor. You see I have a windows 7 64 bit, and when I ran KOTOR 1, my Sith Troopers had tiger stripes (shiny ones too). So I just installed a mod - the White Armor Sith Trooper mod.

Don't worry about it; you can install other mods. Try these things:

Manually enable soft shadows on your swkotor.ini file.
Extract the HK Texture and put it in the override folder.
Install a mod to replace HK's skin (I prefer drewton's

) Good luck Fallen

I don't know. It's upgraded from my old PC and on my old PC everything worked fine. I tried extracting the texture and that didn't work. I really like HK's default texture so..

Upgraded hmm? Maybe it's just Windows 7 being unfriendly to KOTOR. Try running it in compatibility mode.

Fallen Guardian · 08-01-2011, 12:40 AM

I've already done that. Hmm, maybe it's the .txi? I'll put a copy of that in the override as well.

EDIT: Not the .txi....hmmm.

CptPriceless · 08-01-2011, 12:47 AM

Perhaps. If that doesn't work, then well, I don't know what does. Hey, try putting a mod in your override folder and see if it comes out right.

Fallen Guardian · 08-01-2011, 12:57 AM

Okay. I'll try that.

CptPriceless · 08-01-2011, 01:13 AM

Oh and while you're at it, can you take a look at your systems folder in the control panel? Are they the same as before? If so, again, it's probably just funky Windows 7.

Fallen Guardian · 08-01-2011, 01:27 AM

The mod works. Yeah it's the same. I'm going to see if I can't get the default texture to work though.

CptPriceless · 08-01-2011, 01:29 AM

Alright. Good luck Fallen. It's night time here, good night too I guess

Fallen Guardian · 08-01-2011, 01:35 AM

I believe it is a problem with my vanilla texture. Can anyone send me a PM so I can give you my email and you can send me your vanilla texture?

Canaan Sadow · 08-01-2011, 02:03 AM

Maybe it's just been so long since I've played the game, but... I fail to see what the difference is. o.o

Have you checked the TGA? are there any abnormalities?

Fallen Guardian · 08-01-2011, 03:23 PM

The eyes appear to be missing from the TGA and it seems much darker.

Canaan Sadow · 08-01-2011, 04:00 PM

Well I googled him... and he looks the same, just the eyes... maybe you should find the file in Ktool, it should be the texture file (check to make sure the eyes are there) and if they are, then throw it in your override...

Fallen Guardian · 08-01-2011, 04:14 PM

I've already done that and he looks the same as he does in the pic I posted.

CptPriceless · 08-01-2011, 04:26 PM

fallen, pm me your email. let me send you the files on my computer for hk. see if that works

Fallen Guardian · 08-01-2011, 06:06 PM

Allright, will do.

CptPriceless · 08-01-2011, 06:25 PM

Alright I sent the email. Does it work?

Fallen Guardian · 08-01-2011, 06:53 PM

Well, I got it to look almost exactly the same as the vanilla texture. I used the HK polished mod and copied the vanilla texture on top of that a bunch of times to lighten it. Then I used an alpha channel and it looks almost the same as the vanilla should look.

CptPriceless · 08-01-2011, 07:11 PM

alright, well glad you figured it out.
