Fourteen. Not five. FOURTEEN JTEX_HILT entries. I was mapping five variants like an idiot and Jim Turner had fourteen textures in his batch. JT prefix. His initials. We've been staring at this man's work since 1997 and nobody thought to check what the department code meant. The modular system wasn't five hilts. It was a full loadout tree. The archives owe Jim Turner a very long letter.
you're welcome. three of those fourteen don't match ANY UV island in the shipped MAT files Nick. JTEX_HILT_09 through _11 reference a polygon count that doesn't exist in the final 3DO mesh. Jim Turner textured hilts for a MODEL THAT GOT CUT. those three are orphans. somebody at LucasArts built a hilt variant that never made it past the November build. the timestamp on _09 is 11/07/1996 — one week before the catalog freeze. Klaus approves this discovery. Paulaner empty 🏎️💾🇩🇪
