A KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC MODIFICATION


Long Lightsaber weapons v1.0
By Zobizob

Description:

This mod adds new Long Lightsaber models and colors using Malak lightsaber model. Its model has a specific hilt and a longer blade, however the player never got to use it, until now.

The mod supports every vanilla colors (Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Red, Mantle of the force, Heart of the Guardian) and JCarter additional colors (Cyan, Orange, Pink, Viridian, Silver).

The long lightsabers are fully upgradeable, just as the regular lightsabers. They are unbalanced in off hand, just as a regular lightsaber.

You can turn any lightsaber into a long lightsaber using the specific hilt crystal, they all bear specific description and icon. You can turn back a Long lightsaber into
a lightsaber by switching the main crystal to a basic one.

You can optionally modify the longlightsabers statistics : +2dmg +1 def +2 blaster deflect -1dex

The items will be introduced through their cristals, 2 on each planet (1 vanilla, 1 from JC to even things out). You will have to buy them in stores.

Disclaimer :

If you do not have JCarter additional saber colors installed, do not install the additional patcher.

This mod should be compatible with anything. The only part that may generate incompatibilities are the stores, because they are dropped into override.
If you have any modded stuff for the following stores, it will be incompatible :

Dantooine courtyard store
Tatooine twohead store
Manaan east central store
Korriban first weapon store
Yavin station third tier store

Installation :

Check first if you have a upcrystals.2da file in your override folder located in you game directory. If you do not, copy my file and paste it into override before patching anything.

Run the vanilla patcher. You can run the JCarter patcher if you have downloaded his lightsabers colors.

Optionaly you can upgrade the weapon statistics.

Finally the last patcher will make the crystals buyable in stores.
