guess this is as far as I go (not surprised, if it was just as easy as running two commands and editing two lines, someone would have done it long time ago):

hmm, maybe I should split this away from the rebirth thread.

I was about to do it, but now I'll leave it to you.
Preferably from unn_atropos' question onward, as it's all about SS2 AI texturing.

ouch, the weight of the responsibility.

..well, even if I won't manage to fix the model in the end, I already have a solution that works good enough for me-I have edited the texture slightly, and made it a bit less bloody. not a perfect solution, but still way better than having mixed models, imho.

the bloody textures and scared faces work surprisingly well here-makes the chase scene look even scarier (swapped the texture on hands to make the gore less visible), and as for watts,he IS supposed to be gravely wounded and dying, so being all bloody and scared is ok.

the scene at the beginning the of recreation deck is really awkward though-but there is no way I'll ever be able to fix that, as it would require an edit to the model itself,and a new not-as-much-scared face texture. still, I think it is slightly better than using the old lowpoly model.

You can't really convert AI meshes back to .e, you lose the limit planes, meaning you won't be able to convert them back to .bin.

If you just want to change the textures, use a hex editor on the mesh's .bin file and replace the texture name.  Just don't change the length of the file.

wow, I'm at a loss for words. that was incredibly easy. many thanks.

now to play with the textures


edit: done. I have left a bit of blood here and there, after all, the clothes should be a bit messy after all that stuff the npcs went through. watts is left all bloody and gory, this is intentional, as he is supposed to be gravely wounded and only seconds away from death.. with the exception of the recreation deck scene, the models/textures fit quite nicely, the game was kind enough to hide most of the imperfections (special thanks to tommy for not turning around during the rumbler chase scene, and not revealing that rebirth grin of death).

to install, just drop the archive contents to the DataPermMods folder, and overwrite. rebirth must be installed first (kind of obvious, but whatever).
