A kitbash of the following:
SWBF1 all_inf_pilot.msh (Pandemic)
and the various tga's, .options, and lowres models that they came with.

This is a slight revision of the shipped asset. It is intended to be used as a base for future edits and/or as a replacement of the original.

The goal of this series is to give all the playable units OverrideTexture compatability for convienience in modding and side building.  A side effect is that it gives me the opportunity to address functional issues of some of the shipped assets.

I recommend keeping this and all the other "OTC" assets I'm processing, seperate from your original BFBuilder assets.  If I ship a broken msh and you overwrite the original with it, you will end up having to re-download the BFBuilder archive just to replace the model.  I try very hard to maintain 100% compatibility, but some I can miss things like anyone else.  Let me know if anything goes wrong, and I will try to help.

If you use the model and can't tell any difference, then I have done my job.

If you use this model in a side mod or map, then no credit for me is needed. Just be sure to thank LucasArts and Pandemic for letting us play with thier toys.


Changes:
- rebuilt indexed triangle and polygon lists for compatibility with my process. (they are identical tri lists now.)
- made OverrideTexture compatible
   - merged unweighted hands as SEGM's into main body MODL.
   - merged unweighted helmet as SEGM into main body MODL.
   - merged unweighted pack as SEGM into main body MODL. (lowres only)
     - created and adjusted weights of above unweighted pieces.
   - merged pack as SEGM into main body MODL.
   - renamed MODLs.

Possible future edits:
- make helmet override_texture2 instead of head, to allow for squadron insignia changes via odf.
- make a helmet with the visor down
- pack variations (could swap with rep, imp, or even vader's chest pack.)
- swap helmet and/or head for some kind of environment suit helmet?
- lots of possible variations for this one, as the Reb Pilot suit is kinda universal. I'll deffinatly do a variant pack of this one.
- Jet/Back pack?

To make use of the override texture, the following line needs to be in the unit's odf
(replace texturename with the name of your texture)
OverrideTexture  = "texturename"  // body, helmet, hands, pack
OverrideTexture2 = "texturename"  // head/face

I left the filename the same as the original as it is meant to be used as a replacement for the original.
It still requires the same tga as the original
all_pilot_HOTH.tga
all_face01.tga

Notes:
- revised the documentation template a bit.  If time permits, I may silently update previous releases.

I'd like to thank George Lucas for the entirety of the Star Wars Universe.  It's evolution as a franchise is, in itself, an epic struggle and a tale worth telling. Through the victories and defeats your vision has suffered, we have all enjoyed and been inspired by it. Thank you.
