Instead of a nude mod can anyone create an Ahsoka Tano costume and use some costume to overwrite
Its all very nice but how do i use it? im absolutely a noob i know.Hi, I'm SWTOR fan, you may know me from XeNTaX where I posted about some of my work about analyzing the SWTOR game. Because of all the posts in the request and tutorial thread, I found this forum and was anxious to help out myself. ;)
I understand that the main difficulty with modding SWTOR is the lack of any tools, so I decided to write one myself. With this tool, you can edit any file in the game, including textures. I included a readme, but it should be pretty self-explanatory. Note that you need to have .NET 4.5 installed to use this program.
Included with the tool are a few textures to get you started with nude modding the game. Those textures will remove the underwear of all player characters (only in the game, not in cutscenes or character selection).
I recommend equipping one of the dancer sets (Stylish Dancer, Exquisite Dancer, Magnificient Dancer), since my tool automatically makes them invisible as well. That way, your character (and companions) will be naked in cutscenes and character selection as well.
It's very easy to add new files to the tool and I'm sure there are people with way better Photoshop skills than me, so feel free to publish your files as well!
Unfortunately, the main problem is getting the files in the right format. Texture files are in .dds format; diffuse textures are stored as DXT1, while hue and normal textures are stored as DXT5. You always need to generate mipmaps, otherwise the textures will show up purple. I've used ImageMagick to split the hue textures into each channels, then edited the channels with Photoshop, combined the channels with ImageMagick again, and used GIMP to save it as a DDS file and regenerate the mipmaps. I've used the following commands for ImageMagick:
Also, due to a restriction of the game, edited files (after compression) cannot be larger than the original files. Usually, this should not be too much of a problem, but if you get that error message, try to simplify the texture to reduce file size.Code:convert file.dds -channel RGBA -separate file_%d.png convert file_0.png file_1.png file_2.png file_3.png -channel RGBA -combine file_new.png
Without further ado, here's the download link to my program! Please tell me your feedback, and share your work when you create your own files. :)

Hm, somehow 1.2c doesnt work anymore, but i can say 1.1 works just fine, but only if you own any of the dancer outfits
issue for 1.2c is, before the latest back-end patch 1.2c was working perfectly w/o issues, now only 1.1 works only if you own any of the dancer outfits, or run..... equipless XD
or i do something wrong, while patching the files, because, when i patch 1.2c i get infinite loading screen, lets see if any of this still works on the upcoming 5.10b patch
