Criminal Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 giving this a bump. there are no guides or anyone willing to walk me though making/modding a saber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T7nowhere Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 ok I won't rewrite a lightsaber builder, I have replied so many times to various people about this topic (which i don't mind doing It's just that im a little lazy right now). So here are some links within the forum that should help. This is a walkthough I wrote a while ago http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=122085&perpage=40&pagenumber=2 the rest should clear up anything about the first. http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=122635 http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=122916&highlight=light+sabers also Jules Windu wrote a tutorial, but its in spanish.you could try to translate it http://es.geocities.com/d_abellan/ these threads should get you started.

Sunslayer Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 How would one place the new saber in a box? Say I wanted it to be in the box outside the Czerka Office on Tatooine...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameunlimited Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 either through a script, or edit the utc file for the box in the module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Criminal Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 thx t7 but nto much of it is making sense to me...sorry anyone kind enuff to make sabers for ppl around here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T7nowhere Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 It all depends on what you want. how elaborate do you need it. The best way to learn how to do something is to start small. If all you want is a lightsaber with a personal name that is actually really easy and would only take about 5 min. It becomes a little more complex the more unique you want to make it.

Criminal Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 if i were to do it i would take it one step at a time as you said with the custom name ect.my ideal saber is somewere along these lines... a unpgradeable malak's saber... maybe with 12-30 base damage and the same upgrade properties as the matle of the force...(reskin maybe ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T7nowhere Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I have actually made one along those lines i just haven't uploaded it yet. I was trying to figure out a way to make it Two handed without interfering with the other game mechanics. But if you want I can email you a clean version with just the upgrade ability and the the model ready to go. all you would have to do is change the name of the saber, and add the extra energy damage. Also if you want to change the color all you would have to do is either change the hue of the texture there or make a new one and give it the same name as mine.

Nope The lightsaber crystal holds the properties for the saber, so if you remove it Your saber will be a normy and you could lose the crystal as well.

Criminal Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 i mean when i add new crystals....such as bondar or signal.... it changes the dis. back to normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Criminal Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 The Original founders of the Star Forge made the light saber with the help of two of the most powerful dark Jedi's at the time. When Darth Malden, and his Apprentice tried to steal the light saber and keep it to themselves. The founders lead an all out assault on there vessel. The light saber it self was supposedly lost forever, after the founders many attempts to re-craft the evil weapon. At first glance, it appears as if a normal red saber. However anyone wielding this blade can feel the strength and energy running though it's hilt. Although this is a weapon of pure evil, there is not any corruption given off by this blade. dencent discription? the saber is called light of the star forge... i want to add a +5 - 8 strength to it but not sure how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T7nowhere Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Originally posted by Criminal i mean when i add new crystals....such as bondar or signal.... it changes the dis. back to normal do you mean the descritption of the saber or of each power crystal. This is the first time I used a template from HotG,so I just asumed that the crystal properties would be that of those crystals. does anyone know of a descritption list for the differences between the properties MotF and HotG and the normal saber crystals? I have never actually searched. i want to add a +5 - 8 strength to it but not sure how read this thread to learn how to change the properties http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=122916&highlight=light+sabers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Kitty Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Not sure if this is helpful or not, but... This Page lists what bonuses all crystals give, whether used with a (normal) color crystal, or with the HotG or MotF center crystals. -Kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wrote in a previous post that you wanted to get 12-30 as a base damage. If you want to increase energy Damage on your lightsaber you will have to add new properties in the property list in your saber .uti. The [userdefinestruct] would look like this to give you 12-26 energy damage ChanceAppear [bYTE] =100 CostTable [bYTE] =4 CostValue [WORD] =5 Param1 [bYTE] =255 Param1Value [bYTE] =0 PropertyName [WORD] =11 Subtype [WORD] =12 you will need to add two of these to get that much damage. I don't mind being asked questions about something I have learned. After all Im still learnig what can be done with this game. The whole point of this Forum is to develop a modding community for SW-KotOR to improve this great game and to make it what we all want. Not sure if this is helpful or not, but... This Page lists what bonuses all crystals give, whether used with a (normal) color crystal, or with the HotG or MotF center crystals. -Kitty Thanks Kitty that is exactly what i needed to confirm the upgrade crystals to be working right.
