Ok i want to know how to retexutre some sith armor in the game. I have seen the tutorial but thats just changing the color by changing the value of something. I want to know how to extract the tga (or what ever the format is) so i can completly retexture using a paint program, thanks in advance.
  
 
  
  
    ah just saw a think there i didnt see before, thanks. I guess im dealing with
 erf's. Anyone know what quality to retexture?
  
 
  
  
    Well, there are 4 sections in erfs.
 
 GUI are buttons and stuff on the screen, like your portrait, ok and cancel buttons and such.
 
 TPA is High Res, this is the one you probably want to use.
 
 TPB is Average
 
 TPC is Low Res
  
 
  
  
    ok nice one mate looks like i know the way to go just gotta to find the sith armor texture then at least i can start working on it :D. Thanks
  
 
  
  
    No problem!
 
 Sith Armor should be Under N > N_SithSoldier(01-03).tga
  
 
  
  
    again thanks alot. I take it that
 
 N_SithSoldier01.tpc - the shinny troopers
 N_SithSoldier02.tpc - the red troopers
 
 however whats 3 is it like a diffuse map or something?

 Actually, I don't really know what 3 is for, that's possible, but it might just be easiest to ignore it. :D
  
 
  
  
    ok cool. Ill get started on my Night Op Sith Trooper project now :D.
  
 
  
  
    make sure to download and make use of kotor tool as this will handle the majority of the modding you need to do including extracting files from the erfs and bifs. If you have kotor tool your life is made pretty easy because then you can also mod the 2da files to add your own custom appearance as well as new items and the sort.
  
 
  
  
    i didnt want to start a new post but i need a bit of help. I have my texture partly completed but i want to get it into game first so i can continue working on it later.
 
 So far i have 
 .tga of my sith armor texture
 and the ptar_sitharmor.uti
 
 Now i am completely stuck to continue on to get this in game. Any help would be nice, thanks.
  
 
  
  
    ^^why retexture sith armor ? ..
  
 
  
  
    Because I've planed out a mod which will contain more than just new sith armor just wait and see, dont want to give anything away. Any way still havent manage to figure it out, any help would be appriciated.

 Well, name the tga file that you made to N_SithSoldier01.tga and drop it into override, then equip the ptar_sitharmor.uti ingame. Hope this helps!
