brendan1021 is attempting to port Stormguard textures from SWTOR for a skin project but encounters quality issues with Ninja Ripper. DarthValeria explains that self-porting or using the preview menu results in fragmented models and poor textures, recommending NPC or second-player extraction instead.

[2023-09-16 20:13] <brendan1021> yeah. [2023-09-16 20:13] <brendan1021> why is it that someone else has to wear it?

[2023-09-16 20:15] <brendan1021> for starters i have to get out of my pvp instance cause basically no one plays that [2023-09-16 20:15] <brendan1021> im just in it for immersion purposes lol [2023-09-16 20:57] <brendan1021> is there any chance you can have a companion wear it at least?

[2023-09-16 21:17] <brendan1021> i guess to do that i have to right click them like usual, right? [2023-09-16 21:17] <darthvaleria> it doesnt focus but it ports npcs with one piece/texture with better texture [2023-09-16 21:18] <brendan1021> Does it still port the rest of the map regardless? [2023-09-16 21:19] <darthvaleria> it does, its inevitable / / but you can easily find npc or player models
Does anyone have any extracted SWTOR files I can download? I'm trying to edit the Jedi Battlelord skin to be this Stormguard texture, but Kao's aren't entirely compatible.
I imagine the reason you can't extract SWTOR files as easily now is because of easyMYP no longer working right? I just tried to do so and so far I'm just getting txt documents, or at least they aren't the proper texture DDS files.
I use Ninja Ripper to extract models. I can't extract my own character because of new updates, so I need you or someone else to wear the armor to be extracted properly. I can still extract NPCs myself though.
Alright, so I tried to extract my SWTOR character using Ninja Ripper, but for some reason the Stormguard textures didn't rip properly. Do I have to use x86? Even that didn't work.
For reference, this is what the textures are supposed to look like:
But for some reason I either get this or this when I rip it:
@DarthValeria curious if you have any idea on this.
If you extracted it from the preview menu, I suggest not to. It extracts models in a million pieces and it gives bad quality textures. You can't port your own character anymore unfortunately because, like I said, porting yourself or using the preview menu makes it bad quality.
I suggest you find a second player who wears this armor and extract them. If you port a second player's armor, it ports as 1 or 2 pieces and it's ultra quality and perfect.
I was on my ship actually, porting my own character. So basically I have to find a dude who wears that specific armor set and then rip the entire world under these circumstances? I'll try and see if anyone's wearing the armor sets I need then. I have to get out of my PvP instance first because basically no one plays that lol.
Is there any chance you can have a companion wear it at least? Or is that bugged out too? I just finished ripping all of Ord Mantell apparently; if anyone wants to try porting a SWTOR Republic Officer, I'll try posting the files as soon as I can.
I've never tried companions before. One more thing: you can easily port enemy/ally NPCs and it ports with one piece and one texture. It doesn't focus specifically on themāit still ports the rest of the map, that's inevitableābut it ports NPCs with better quality. You can easily find the NPC or player models in the rip.
