Somebody wanna make a modification of this that appears in the character selection menu? I tried doing it myself, but I eventually always end up either missing a step or doing it wrong...

It's pretty simple to do it @@kibasennin you must go inside the .pk3 file and extract only the "models/players/JediTempleGuardv2" folder.

than you need to do this:

Search for "Model_Default.SKIN" than copy & paste it 3 times, with each copy you need to Rename with the following: head_a1.skin | torso_a1.skin | lower_a1.skin

Same process with the file called "Icon_Default.JPG" but this time you will have to type on each of the copies: icon_head_a1.jpg | icon_torso_a1.skin | icon_lower_a1.skin

And you are almost done.

Now you need to open NOTEPAD and inside you must paste this code from bellow:

//colorshadername {action block}

 

*white

{

setcvar ui_char_color_red 255

setcvar ui_char_color_green 255

setcvar ui_char_color_blue 255

}

Ok, now go and SAVE your file from "File - Save As.." and type this name: playerchoice.txt 

End you are ready. Save those files (icon_head_a1.jpg | icon_torso_a1.jpg | icon_lower_a1.jpg | head_a1.skin | torso_a1.skin | lower_a1.skin | playerchoice.txt) INSIDE your model's folder.
You open up "zzzJediTempleGuardv2.PK3" open "Models/Players/JediTempleGuardV2" and put inside all those files you have created, than SAVE the .PK3 file put it inside your BASE folder of Jedi Academy and start a New Game, go to the characters menu and you will be able to select there the model itself.

Here's an example PK3 containing exactly these files to illustrate what @@dark_apprentice has kindly -- and really handily -- explained to you here. (And no, you can't just copy-paste them -- you'll still have to create them yourself. )

 

In case you weren't aware, @@kibasennin, PK3s are standard ZIP package files. All you have to do is rename their extension to ZIP, and you can open them and/or extract their contents.

 

Same process with the file called "Icon_Default.JPG" but this time you will have to type on each of the copies: icon_head_a1.jpg | icon_torso_a1.skin | icon_lower_a1.skin

icon_head_a1.jpg | icon_torso_a1.jpg | icon_lower_a1.jpg <-- !

I just read both of these and my mind is blown!
I'm on a rampage, now, I'm adding characters to my menu by the dozen !

Thanks so much to both of you!

Other question, @@dark_apprentice!

How do I give them sound? Cuz I made a sound/chars/npcname folders with all the mp3s in the final one, but it doesnt seem to work...

[dark_apprentice]

are the mp3 files working correctly, because i noticed, that JKA engine can't handle too HQ sound tracks for voicing, usually most of the base JKA are lower than 320kbps. Try to export them again, I assume you are using Audacity or?
