This is a custom lightsaber hilt that recreates the one used by Kyle Katarn in Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. Uses TSLPatcher by LucasForum's stoffe to ensure compatibility with other saber/crystal mods.
Instructions available in original readme below.

KYLE KATARN'S JK2 LIGHTSABER
============================
AUTHOR:
DarthParametric
ABOUT:
This is Kyle Katarn's lightsaber from Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (and also JK3: Jedi Academy).
It's a large and imposing single bladed hilt. Although inspired by the JK2 original, this is a
completely new mesh and texture made by me - not a port.
The hilt has the following base stats:
Damage:Energy, 2-20
Critical Threat:17-20,x2
Attack Modifier:+2
Defense Bonus: 2
The saber is upgradeable and comes with a custom colour crystal.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Extract the archive and run TSLPatcher.exe. Follow the program's instructions to install the mod.
Place the items in your inventory via KSE or console command. The hilt is g_w_lghtsbr58 and the
crystal is u_l_colo_58.
COMPATIBILITY:
The hilt and crystal both use ModelVariation 58. They will not be compatible with any other saber
mod that uses custom crystals/hilts with this value. Aside from that, it should be compatible with
pretty much any other saber mod that uses TSLPatcher. If you have an older mod that comes with a
pre-edited upcrystals.2da you MUST install that mod first. This mod will then patch upcrystals.2da
with the Katarn saber data. As far as I can tell it should be compatible with the Ultimate Saber Mod,
but make sure you install USM first!
BUGS:
Because of the limitations of the available tools, the blade glow extends somewhat past the emitter.
This is merely an aesthetic issue and I doubt most people will notice or be concerned by it. Because
it is only of minor consequence for this hilt, I decided to release it as-is. I am investigating
avenues to resolve this for other hilts where is it more crucial, so I may release a revised version
of this hilt at some point in the future that fixes the problem, should that prove possible.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
Thanks goes to ChAiNz.2da for help during my early attempts at converting my hilts into game-ready
meshes and the resultant struggles with MDLOps and GMax. Special thanks to svösh for ongoing help
in tackling the thorny issue of altering the position of blade planes.
