New Lightsaber Color Crystals

Description

While traveling the galaxy in both Knights of the Old Republic games, the Ebon Hawk was the ship that transported your crew. Exploring the inside of it is an adventure of its own. What the Ebon seemed to need is more weapons, armor, and robes to find inside.

Eagleracer38x makes his FileFront debut with a mod that adds a little something that will be useful in your journey traveling the galaxy in the game Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. This useful something is in the Ebon Hawk. What happens is a container is added where you can find HK-47 to put him back together. What’s in the container is lightsaber crystals and one of each type of lightsaber (regular, double-bladed, and short).

There is a bonus added to this mod. Remember the Heart of the Guardian and the Mantle of the Force lightsabers you got in the original Knights of the Old Republic game? Well, the author restored those. Even though the game changed them into the cyan and bronze/orange lightsabers, the author still made separate lightsabers calling them Heart of the Guardian and the Mantle of the Force. They’re also upgradable.

With a mod this big, the TSL Patcher comes in handy to help install the mod to merge files together so they’re compatible with each other; very handy with those without any modding skills. Enjoy the new mod! :D

Note: Please leave the author feedback, especially if you download this mod and use it. It really helps encourage the author to make more mods in the future.

======================================================
KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II: THE SITH LORDS MODIFICATION
======================================================

NAME : New Lightsaber Color Crystals
Author : Eagleracer38x
email: [email protected]
date: 08/28/07 V1.0
====================================================
This is a package of custom saber colors along with adding the missing files for the Mantle of the Froce, Heart Of the Guardian and the Bronze color crystals. These crystals can be found in game on the Ebon Hawk in room you find HK-47 in or gotten by using the 'giveitem' cheat with the cheat console, the giveitem codes are listed at the bottom of the readme. 

All the sabers have the same properties as the standar in game sabers. And can be used as single, double or short blade lightsabers.

Installation Instructions:
-----------------------------
If you have Envida's smuggler's compartment mod, this mod uses the same 003_ebo_enter.ncs and 004_ebo_enter.ncs files, so if you get an error about copying those to the override folder it shouldn't be a problem.

First, if you have not already done so, create a folder called "Override", without the quotes, in your KOTOR2 directory.

Extract the contents of the zip to a temporary folder, run the Patcher EXE follow the instructions, and you should be good to go.

Using the TSL Patcher this mod now will modify upcrystals.2da

There are some optional TGA's and UTI files that you can copy and paste to your override. The UTI's add the color name to the lightsabers in the equip screen. TGA's are new color maps to replace the in game sabers, which may confict with other mods, and a set of Orange Icons to change them from the Heart of The Guardian icons.

Uninstallation Instructions:
-----------------------------
Simply delete these files from your override directory, and restore any necissary files from the backup directory the patcher makes in the temp folder you run the patcher from.

This Item Package Contains: 
-----------------------------
New Blade colors are; Blue Green, Bright Pink, Ice Blue, Light Blue, Magenta, Pale Pink, Purple (differnt that violet), and Yellow Green

Fixed in game colors are; Heart of the Guardian, Mantle of the Force and Bronze

There are optional tga and uti files. The tga's are new texture maps for the in game colors to match the new colors added by this mod. And a set of Orange saber icons to replace the icons the orange sabers share with the Heart of the Guardian sabers. The optional uti files adds the color name for the in game sabers to the discription. (A blue lightsaber will now show up in the equip screen as "Blue Lightsaber" instead of just "Lightsaber") 


Known Bugs and Issues:
-----------------------------
This mod doesn't confict with USM. It should work with Oldfash's replacements for the in game sabers, but you will have to choose what color maps to use for the blades. None of the saber numbers conflicted with any of the mods I was able to find still available. 

It also is compatable with Envidia's smuggler compartment mod

When using the skip peragus mod, The Veridian sword shows up as an unfinished white saber in game until you go to the work bench, place another color crystal in, then replace the veridian crystal back in the saber and assymble it. I have no idea why, it was doing this even without the uti files I created in this override folder. This may be the case for all virdian sabers you find in game.

You recieve two crystal of each color, both originals from in game and new ones, but at the work bench it shows two stacks of two of all the new crystals, but you really do only have two to place in sabers. If you place one in a saber, then you will see two "stacks" of one of each of the new crystals.
