help getting anakin cloak onto darth maul

Post by jedimoose32 »

Yes, I loaded the anakin cloak into the msh and odf folders and I changed the ODF so that it said cis_inf_darthmaul instead of rep_inf_ep3anakin
but it still won't load into the game
Nothing crashes btw.
It's just that darth maul still looks the same without the cloak.
Could somebody help? :cry: :cpu: :faint:

Did you hex-edit the model or did you just call for the cloth in the odf? The latter won't work, you need to hex-edit the cloak on.

I'm sorry, that won't work.. Cloth needs to be included in the msh, so use XSI, but easier, use Rep's tut 'How to add a bf2 cape to a bf2 unit' tut.. It's in the modding faq.. good luck! :)

But the msh is different, so the maul skin would look kinda off/ funky :music: .

Depends.. Most skins look great on this model.. As I always want to say: try it :) Then you'll see if it's good. If it isn't: pm me.. I'm thinking about making a cloak as animated addon a long time, but didn't see much purpose.. So.. Hear from you?

Not really. Basically, all that would be changed would be anakin's face, and his hair pitch black so it's not visible. And you could reskin the main part of anakin's body to look more black-roby.

Mmhmm...
Yeah, possibly. If I can't get any of the other methods to work I'll go that way. I like to have a challenge when I'm working. You know, to improve my skills and broaden my horizons.

OFF-TOPIC: Your avatar scares me. :shock: :runaway:

I know...but...doing a simple reskin would save you about an hours or more worth of trouble. I think even doing it in XSI would be easier than hex editting, as u would have to get rid the cloth that Maul already has or something and get the new cloak positioned right. But if you must, do it the way you want..

Agree with Dann, i never understood hex-editing :P

In XSI you could also make an animated cloak addon, which you can use on every unit you want, and moves as cloth.. Just remove Maul's original cloth odf so the kama dissappears, and add this addon: voila! A high detailed Cloaked Maul ;)
