INCOMPATIBILITY!!!
==================
This mod is incompatible with BETTER CITIES mod.
That's bcos Better Cities mod moves the wall in the Arcane Univ., so it blocked the lightsaber box.

So if you can't find the box to the left after you go to Arcane Univ., try to use console command TCL & move through
the wall, find the box & take the lightsabers.


INSTALLATION
============
WARNING!!!

To avoid a few useless files from previous version of this mod, please UNINSTALL/DELETE these following folders before installing:
1. PlasmaBlades & PlasmaShields folders in .....oblivion\Data\meshes\mycastle\weapon
2. MK1_Blue_1.dds & MK1_Blue_2.dds in .....oblivion\Data\Textures\menus\icons\Hellspawn
3. Copy "Data" folder after you extract the .7z file; to your Oblivion game folder & choose YES to overwrite.
4. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file(s).
5. To make lightsaber retracts when sheathed, install Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) is a must.


TO PREVENT OFFHAND LIGHTSABER FROM HANGING ON HIP
=================================================
Delete the script:
1. Go to Character tab in CS > Quests
2. Find OffhandLightsaberQuest in the Editor column, right-click & choose Delete, then save your .esp


DESCRIPTION
===========
Since this is the final version of this mod, please endorse if you like.
You can bookmark this page, so it will be easy for you to go back to this page.
Oh, & don't forget to fill the still-empty User Uploaded Image section....

OK!

Maybe this is my final attempt for this mod, since I'm planning to release Authentic Lightsaber Hilt in the next version (v1.6).
The results are shown in the image section. Please have a look...
Still there's nothing i can do to make this mod far more better; such as:
make the saber casts shadows to the environments, prolong lightsaber humm during ignition,
create new system to turn ON & OFF the saber while holding the hilt called New Lightsaber Ignition System,
create saber scratch to the wall & door when the saber touch them.
For the lightsaber icons, i managed to create different saber color; but can't manage to create different hilt
bcos my Nifskope background is black.

But in this version (v1.5), i gave you BONUSes:
1. Lightsaber Gem to light the environments with modified light color from Pujangga's Screenshooters Illumination mod to matched the saber color.
Thanks to Pujangga for the inspiration. & Please read DETAILS section in his mod's explanation...

2. A book that contained 38 pages info for all 19 lightsaber wielders called Wookeepedia - Star Wars Wiki.
Please read. In Lava Crystal page, there's an info about a Jedi Knight in Oblivion... ;P

3. Offhand lightsabers of course; with normal & reverse grip. The good news is: i add the scripts, so when you sheath/unsheath
one-handed lightsaber, the offhand lightsaber will also be sheathed/unsheathed. Since i use Pretty woman mod (cos i only play with
female char), the position is right. But if you use vanila idle, better you change the position of the hilts:
- OPEN all "OffhandLightsaberHILT---" files (from a - yRev) in PlasmaShields folder with Nifskope.
- choose the 4 NiNode Longsword, right-click then choose Transform > Edit > & change the Translation X from -12.5000 to -8.5000
- Don't forget to download DMC Stylish - Animation Replacer Add-on Sword Dancer for dual-wielder.

4. Lightsaber-hilts (not so important, but maybe will be useful). I use them sometimes for taking screenshots.
You can find them in the box below ground near JLC box. See the image for info.
Look to the ground near the lightsaber box & when you see another box name, click the action button to open the box.

5. 2 textures to fix lightsaber clipping with the rug.


LOCATION
========
They can be found in the small Box near the area where pink magic flames burn in the Arcane University District in the Imperial City.


BLADE COLORS
============
There are 19 blade colors:
4 colors (Red, Green, Blue & Purple) are from electionist,
2 colors (Yellow & Orange) are from heavywaters &
13 NEW colors (Pink, Cyan, Crimson, Magenta, Black, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Violet, Indigo, Emerald, Lava & Aqua) are from me.

There are 95* lightsabers:
19 one-handed lightsabers,
19 two-handed lightsabers,
19 reverse-lightsabers,
19* offhand lightsabers,
19* offhand reverse-lightsabers.

*) after the final version update: JediLightsabersCollectionV1.5


DAMAGE RATING
=============
If you feel the damage rating was too high for the minimum difficulty level, try to increase to maximum. I even can't defeat a single guard. No need to create new .esp! Thanks to Seraph7777 for the idea.


Enchantment
===========
I made new enchantment for this update to match enchantment color on saber hilt with lightsaber's blade color:

Purple = Soul Trap combined w/ weaker Shock Damage; matched with Indigo, Purple, Violet, Magenta & Pink lightsaber.
Yellow = Turn Undead combined w/ weaker Shock Damage; matched with Yellow, Orange, Gold & Bronze lightsaber.
Cyan = Absorb Magicka combined w/ weaker Shock Damage; matched with Cyan & Aqua lightsaber.
Green = Silence combined w/ weaker Shock Damage; matched with Emerald & Green lightsaber.
White = Frost Damage; matched with Black & Silver lightsaber.
Red = Drain Health; matched with Red & Crimson lightsaber.
No-color = Shock Damage; matched with Blue lightsaber only.
Orange = Fire Damage; matched with Lava lightsaber only.

So now, different lighsaber has different function...& not just colors!
The enchantment charge = 1, but still unlimited.


LIGHTSABER NAMES
=================
Since there is a book called Wookeepedia - Star Wars Wiki to describe the wielder's heroic action, i use color-name only.


ATTACK RANGE
============
I decreased the default attack range from 2.0000 to 0.7500 for 1-handed & 2-handed lightsaber,
from 1.0000 to 0.5625 (3/4 of 0.7500) for reverse-lightsaber. The reason is: when you get close enough to a guard for example,
& you go to toggle camera mode (tcm), the tip of the saber will touch the guard precisely when you hit him/her.


ATTACK SPEED
============
I raised the attack speed from 1.0000 to 1.1100 for reverse-lightsaber, and to 1.3000 for 1-handed & 2-handed lightsaber;
to match the attack movement's speed with lightsaber's swing sound.


Vertical Hilt
=============
All this lightsabers are using the VERTICAL hilt when sheathed.
Only there's a difference vertical position between the normal & reverse-lightsaber.

To make the hilt hang vertically, the coordinates should be changed or it will hang diagonally on the hip
like usual 1-handed weapon's scabbard. On my earlier version of my mod (v1.1), the hilt still hang diagonally.
Then there's a suggestion to make the hilt hang vertically. But as a side-effect, on the inventory screen, the character
holds the hilt only model by the end in a really weird looking grip.

TIPS: if you want to the hilt looks normal on inventory screen but hang diagonally on hip,
just copy the hilt from 1-handed weapon & replace the old one in JEDIlightsaberHILT<corresponding color>.nif file.


About Reverse-Lightsaber
============================
The idea came from one-hand idle Pretty Woman mod.
I strongly RECOMMEND to download that mod - if you don't want your thigh pierced by the saber


About Black-bladed Lightsaber
=============================
I used the black core mesh from IHRE's Black Lightsaber mod. But since the core is too tiny,
so i doubled it multiple times in NifSkope until it looked bolder.


Original Mod
============
You can download the original mod from electionist,
Jedi Lightsabers Sheath FIX from heavywaters,
AC Doublesaber mod,
Black Lightsaber from IHRE,
Dwemer Plasma Blades - Lightsabers - Modders Resource from Sahardoom,
CTAddposemod_glock3 pose mod.
