black saber?

[Ranins Hull]

when digging through the kt i found a black saber that obsidian didn't put in the game. the icons for the equip screen are there for both the one and two bladed sabers.

 

my question is:

did anyone try to put it back in the game?

[Shadow Blaze]

I made a thread to see if anyone noticed this awhile ago but nobody even paid attention to it. I don't think anyone has tried. I would but I can't find the .mdl file for it.

[Ranins Hull]

i looked for it 2 but couldn't find it it ither.

[Shadow Blaze]

Well there is that ultimate lightsaber pack with the nihilus saber which is similar. Although it isn't a black saber.

I saw your thread ShadowBlaze, I saw it too, ............Hmm;)

Heh didn't think anyone even paid too much attention to that thread. Shortly after I made it coincidentally I found the double bladed version icon. It is too bad, it looked like it would be a cool little addition to the game had they not cut it.

The least they could have done is left the .mdl and .mdx files so someone could put it back in.

The only possible way to make a blacksaber would be to change what the game considers alpha, as it stands with the lightsabers black is transparency.

Well apparently obsidian did make one but was cut. You can see it for yourself I believe it is under swpc_tex_tpa.erf>I>iw_lghtsbr11

 

Heh guess they couldn't erase all evidence of it.

Interesting... it's lightsaber11 for single (curved like Dooku's as well) but dblesaber10 for double bladed (shaped strikingly like Maul's)

 

This appear the only "unique" looking sabers in the game... yet there are not in there.

 

I can only find the weapon icons... no tpcs of skins or anything else.

 

Odd.

[tomwaz]

It would be great is someone could put it into the game hint,hint modders.......

[Ranins Hull]

glad to see someone else besides me is interested.

 

if anyone is interested in helping me try to put this saber back in the game just let me know

[Lorden Darkblade]

Hmmmmm.....

I wonder why they removed them.....

Well if my memory is good I think svösh made black sabers to KotOR 1.

So I guess it is possible. Best way would ask him how he did it, and if he can answer he may try to explain?

Don't know but they do look nice.

Are at least the hilts in here?

[Guyver619]

I'd enjoy seeing a mod that returns the lightsabers to the game.. but unfortunately, I doubt it's possible, unless someone made new lightsaber models based on the icons, and even then, it'd be difficult to make a black blade.

I took a look through the .mdl and .mdx files and found......................................................................................

nothing

maybe our more experianced modelers can make them for us(achillis, svosh,) to name some.

[Arlen Treesong]

Black Sabre is purdy much impossible from our end, and if you were to make one you would ruin every other sabre.

For those that want them Black blades on my site in my sig found at the bottom of my site

 

I built them for k1way back when for someone’s request , personally I hate them so rip them apart dissect them go nuts I really don't care.

 

On some angles you may notice a hole through the blade’s center. Nothing can be done about this what you are seeing is actually the blades planes [ the blades model.] The default .txi used blending addictive as well as decal 1. This uses only decal 1 in the .txi and a custom alpha channel.

 

Don’t expect it to glow , black is the absence of colour

my blades come in the 5 default blade tones you need a .tga with it’s .txi for it to work,

enjoy if a black blade thrills you.

 

As for this model HA .. so the devs built some for fun and removed them in the final beta build … or perhaps the icons where used for testing purposes to find the new models faster in there inventory .

 

Ether way what do I care , I built dooku’s and it’s in my game it will be in our USM pack and T7 has build Darth Mauls saber that will also be in our pack just to name a few. So we got you guys covered.

Well I wasn't interested in black sabers just the hilt. I knew you guys were building that so I am not worried except for how long the mod will take to be released but I can wait.
