The Kyber Expansion

Trailer: https://youtu.be/_RgCjGFW0Z8

Disclaimers:

All maps featured in Trailer ARE NOT part of the Kyber Expansion Mod (They come from many talented modders from across the B&S Nexus page)

This is an expansion upon The Outer Rim Mod by Kingo64, therefore The Outer Rim is required for The Kyber Expansion to work


Crystals: The Kyber Expansion adds more than 65+ new crystals to the game with more on the way.
Colors are vastly expanded upon with crystals meant to recreate the look and sound of their appearances in all Star Wars media.
Many crystals are dedicated to the look of certain films like the blue and green Prequel crystals or the series of crystals made to
emulate the different blues from A New Hope. Many crystals recreate the blades of certain characters in certain movies like the
many Darth Vader crystals or the Luke crystals. Some colors are from TV shows like the Clone Wars while others look like the
blades from the many Star Wars video games like The Force Unleashed, Jedi Fallen Order, Battlefront 2, Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
and even rather obscure titles like Jedi Power Battles. When it comes to lightsabers, sound is just as important as color.
The Kyber Expansion extensively modifies the sounds of the lightsabers to accurately emulate each crystal's sounds as from their
source material. A proper sound overhaul is planned for a later release.
A WIP blade type is the Flicker Blade. The Flicker Blades are the most difficult to make and can often be a bit buggy and broken
from time to time but they are by far the best looking blades. My personal favorite is the Force Awakens Blue flicker blade,
especially with the sounds of the saber from the film, creating a visceral and truly epic feeling lightsaber.
Not all crystals are new as many of the original crystals have been redone to look better as well. Some include the basic
Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, and many others including a few of the unstable colors.

Lightsabers: Also included is nearly 140 new and modified lightsabers to the game. There are NO NEW MODELS, just new crystal/saber combinations.
This means that there are more lightsabers because the hilts themselves have been multiplied to fit their many different appearances and iterations.
For example Anakin Skywalker's second lightsaber has numerous versions in the mod from Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back,
The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Clone Wars. Outside of user convenience, this is primarily for the heavily overhauled AI spawning.

AI: The Outer Rim's AI spawn system has been overhauled including most of the new sabers from The Kyber Expansion but also many of the sabers
that have been added into the game in previous updates, now with Kyber Expansion crystals.
The spawn rates have also been tweaked for accuracy so special sabers like double bladed designs will spawn very rarely and shoto style hilts like
Yoda's won't spawn at all. Sabers with rarer crystal colors like purple and yellow will also spawn less frequently.
