About this mod
Replaces the regular red lightsaber blade with Darth Maul's red double-bladed lightsaber.
Also gives the Darth Maul costume his proper long lightsaber hilt to match the blades.
- Permissions and credits
Due to TFU1's file layout, i've only been able to accomplish this as a replacement for the regular red lightsaber blade - meaning that using the red lightsaber colour for any costume besides Darth Maul looks quite wrong (including my Darth Vader costume mod, meaning that it's best to install this Darth Maul mod alone) - but on the Darth Maul costume it works perfectly.
It's recommended to back up your files before installing this mod, so that you can uninstall it on demand. Though you can also "Verify Integrity of Game Files" through steam, however you wish.
Installation:
Place the following files into the game directory, in the "LevelPacks" folder, and overwrite the original files:
gp_pc.lp
playerdarthmaul.actor.xml_pc.lp
And you're done!
Big thanks to Kuku, creator of the Kuku's Mods for TFU2. His mod gave me the inspiration to attempt this mod for TFU1.
For modders:
Check out the "Articles" tab of this mod for some miscellaneous info, it attempts to somewhat explain how this mod was made (and what certain files do and how to change them to achieve certain things). It's not much but i figured it might be helpful to someone who'd rather not trial-and-error their way through this shit manually.
I've also put the source files for this mod up for download if anyone's interested, maybe it'll help someone interested in modding the game this way.
This mod was made using QuickBMS to unpack and repack the .lp files. The process is really annoying, but for anyone interested i wrote a steam
guide on how to do it:
