Taris Lower City Javyar's Cantina - Twi'lek males lack appearance variety

[DarthParametric]

• Black Vulkars vs Calo Nord cutscene. The two Twi'lek males are both green. Possibly switch one to a different colour.
• The Twi'lek males in the bounty office are all using the same green head. Possibly switch some to a different colour.

[DarthParametric]

Seems like this will probably require an added appearance.2da row or two. There is no row for the orange head using the unique Twi'lek male body, and no rows for the blue head at all outside Griff's.

[JCarter426]

Calo's victims seem to transform:

The bounty hunter by Zax (not pictured) also looked a little odd in commoner clothing. Wpuld be better to keep the Twi'lek clothes I think, although that might be down to his equipment slot.

[DarthParametric]

That's weird. The two bounty hunters near Zax should bother be wearing armour.

Calo's orange attacker should be using the Twi'lek body, like the green guy, not commoner clothes. I guess the switching wasn't noticeable before because they were identical, but I guess that must be a script issue.

Can you check what the added appearance.2da row IDs are and compare them to the patched UTCs?

[ebmar]

They have different UTC for before and after the ambush cutscene, hence the transformation. By memory; for the after ones are bp_deadxx or something - sorry can't be more specific at the time being.

[DarthParametric]

Yeah clearly I made a hash job of it. I'll have to go back and redo it properly.

[JCarter426]

Here's how the bounty hunters look:

bp_dead3 - appearance 517 - Alien_Twilek_Male_Orange_TwiBody

[DarthParametric]

What the hell. Can you crack open the module and see what appearance IDs they ended up with and what their inventory looks like?

[JCarter426]

tar03_bounhun033 matches your INI code, appearance 450 and equipped with class 4 armor.
tar03_bounhun032 appears to be the original setup, appearance 39 (green) with no armor.

[DarthParametric]

tar03_bounhun031 should have been the other one. Wasn't the third bounty hunter a Rodian?

[JCarter426]

Ah, it was 31, I just mistyped.

[DarthParametric]

I see what the problem is. It's that I'm an idiot. I didn't give them feats to wear the armour, so the game is unequipping it and they end up reverting to their naked appearance.

But that's also a Bioware mistake as well. They also have guns equipped, but they don't have proficiencies for those either.

Regarding the Calo bait, I made two mistakes there. I used the vanilla appearance row 450, which is an orange-headed commoner body instead of the added 2DAMEMORY10 which is an orange-headed Twi'lek body. And as @ebmar said, the positions of the "dead" versions switch around and I edited the wrong one (bp_dead3 instead of bp_dead2).

[DarthParametric]

Going to revert the addition of the TSL blue male Twi'lek head and switch that bounty hunter back to vanilla green. The two added blue appearance.2da rows and associated heads.2da row weren't used for anything else, so their config data can be removed altogether.
