Megido & The Avenger - Lightsaber Models: created by: maverick187

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PART I: Introduction (prt1)

 

Greetings these lightsaber models are completely new models made from scratch by myself in gmax. It adds a little more diversity to look at while plain the game versus those aluminum cyclinders that the game calls a lightsaber. Enjoy the new models.

PART III: Features (prt3)

 

This mod includes 2 new saber models and three new sabers (the regular and short saber use the same model), all are upgradeable, and createable, the stats of the sabers are the same as the games regualr sabers though.

 

--> 2 new saber models

 

--> 3 new sabers to play with

 

--> 1 new custom saber color crystal

 

--> In-Game Placement for ease-of-use

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PART IV: Sabers, Crystals (prt4)

 

This mod includes 3 new sabers, and 1 new crystal, the following are small descriptions of each.

 

Megido Lightsaber & Megido Shortsaber:

----------------------------------------

Blade Color: Red

 

Hilt Type: A curved hilt with an end spike, ridges and slanted emitter

 

Color Crystal: Ancient Sith Crystal

 

In-Game Description: Traditionally associated with the Jedi, the lightsaber is a devastating weapon difficult to master. Properties can vary with the type of focusing crystal used in construction. This particular design, know as the "Megido" design, derives from the original design of an unknown Ancient Sith Lord. The original saber has been cataloged and placed in the Jedi Archives.

 

The Avenger Double-Bladed Lightsaber:

----------------------------------------

Blade Color: Red

 

Hilt Type: A doublebladed shaft with center ridges, and two sets of spikes on either side, symetrical and features two sided emitter guards on each side of the hilt.

 

Color Crystal: Ancient Sith Crystal

 

In-Game Description: These exotic weapons are rare, and most often associated with Jedi attracted to the dark side of the Force, for whom reckless aggression is sometimes considered an asset. The double-bladed lightsaber is capable of inflicting more damage - but is also less precise - than the single-bladed variant. This design was orginally created by an ancient Sith Marauder, it carries with it a history of innocent deaths. Although this is just a replica of the original, which is stored in the Jedi Archives, it's appearence still strikes fear in the eyes of most Jedi.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PART V: Installation (prt5)

 

1. Create an override folder within your KotOR 2 directory, if you do not have one already.

 

2. Extract all of the files in this file into your override directory, if you are prompted to overwrite any .2da file proceed to step three, if you are not then installation is complete.

 

3. If you are prompted to overwrite any .2da file note which file it is and then follow the following compatibilites guide if you have other mods installed which use the same .2da files:

4. If you have your own custom conflicting .2da file or a .2da file that is from a mod not listed here you will need to merge your .2da files, please go to the tutorials section at Holowan Labs for information on how to merge .2da files. Link in PART VIII.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PART IX: Acknowledgements and Credits (prt9)

 

Fred Tetra: Without your tireless effort on the creation and continued dedication to upgrading your incredible KotOR Tool this mod would not be possible, for that we are all in debt to you, and we cannot thank you enough.

 

tk102: KSE has helped us in numerous ways, testing out the mod, and for the pure enjoyment of creating the "Super Jedi" lol, also your help and guidance has been tremendous, thanks.

 

T7nowhere: Thank you, for the encouragement early on when I started modding way back in KotOR 1, and for the tremendous amount of help when I was learning to model, I owe a lot to you, thanks T7

 

svösh: In many ways you have been my greatest mentor, encouraging me early on in the KotOR 1 days, helping me learn the basics of skinning and texturing and teaching me some of the finer points of Photoshop, and for the help and direction when I tried to model, and for letting me use your custom shader for almost all of my mods, thank you svösh

 

RedHawke: Well, we have teamed up for many a few mods and they have reached great success, thanks for all the help with everything, scripting etc. maybe not in this mod, but in others, thanks.

 

Holowan Labs: Thank goes out to all the support from everyone at Holowan Labs, for the helpful comments in the W.I.P. thread and for continued support.

@ Shadow Blaze

 

Yep, finally, just one more model to make.... it's a secret... and I can actually play TSL again.

 

 

@ DarthSmallz

 

I actually prepared a .zip, I had a feeling someone would ask for one ;), I'll send it right after I post this.

 

@ ChAiNz.2da

 

Thanks for the compliment, I can't wait for the Ultimate Lightsaber Pack to be released :D

So it's finally out. But you didn't even make it compatible with the saber expansion pack that was 1/3 yours?;) Man I thought I could be cruel sometimes. I guess I have to be lazy and wait for the ultimate saber pack release so I don't have to do it myself.:p

Hmm didn't know that. Glad I didn't overwrite my current upcrystals.2da when I installed it.

This is one of many reasons I use KMM. That way I can easily figure out what is having incompatibilities and needs merging. Also it allows me to go back and test where a mod might be having issues at. All this without the worry of accidently deleting a file. That and keeping copies of every archive downloaded in a backup location or 2 or 3 helps as well.

Heh I noticed that too... But oh well I know and other people who look at your thread do as well. So don't worry to much about it. Besides if you make another version you can update the readme too.

Heh I turned them green lol. But my favorite color is blue. Yeah Purpkender or PK just doesn't fit.
