Darkkender Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Alright there are a few things your going to want to do. First figure out which image you want for your custom saber. do you want to use a stock saber crystal(eg. violet, blue, green, etc.), or one of the other crystals(eg. opila, nextor, etc), or a custom image crystal? next you will need to probably choose any of the UTI files associated with the saber color(eg. blue or violet) because the file will already be associated with the right upgrade slot. You are also going to need to edit upcrystals.2da too add your new custom crystal into the game you may also need to make a change to baseitems.2da(not sure haven't bothered with my own saber making yet). Ok you now have your files to work with the image file, the uti file and the 2da files. Most of your changes your looking to do are going to happen in your UTI file stat boosts damage increases etc. so there is where you want to change and fine tune. the 2da files are easy and straight forward inserting fields in a spreadsheet style database. and the image if you keep it easy with one existing will be just that easy. now from here you need to probably get more information from the forums. So here are the most useful stickies for you. List of downloads - Tools and mods Guide for the newbie: What tools do I need to mod KotOR ? How to install mods? Do you Want to mod SW-KotOR? Then Start here.Mod Tutorials! I don't know achilles has said yet so I hope this helps. *edit* I think I got a little overzealous here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 ^^^^ You don't need to edit baseitems.2da for a custom lightsaber. What I did was refer him to the lightsaber walkthrough, the KT item editing tutorial, and Maverick187's upgrade tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think you had troubles...look over this: ChAiNz's 'ordeal' it might actually help as well. This dealt with colors, but it's similiar in function as to what you're going to be doing. And don't let it intimidate you, once you get the hang of it, you'll want to make your whole party Jedi just to use all of your (soon to be made) sabers...
