JacenPrime Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I have Darkkender's Saber Mod installed (Guardian and Colors) and the USM...along with other stuff My question is why can't I use the crystals. I can use the sabers if I cheat them in, but even if I have the crystals, I can't use them to change the color of my saber, and when I use the spawned saber, for the color crystal, it has a null grenade...any reason why?

tk102 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Be sure to read the descriptions of the saber crystals closely. In the USM, the crystals can only be placed in specific saber types (double/single/short/custom). That is also likely the case with Darkkender's mod, though I haven't tried that one.

JacenPrime Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 With Darkkenders, they are supposed to be able to be placed in all sabers, but all three types of saber wont use it as a color crystal. I have to spawn them by cheating to get them. I also have a problem with some custom upgrades being able to be used as an upgrade (namely the lightsaber upgrades from RedHawkes packs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 The problem you seem to be having with Darkkenders sabers sounds like an upcrystals.2da problem, the one you have in override doesn't have DK's saber entries. Or, if you are using override subfolders, you might have 2 of them in your override. The problem with the saber upgrades is likely an upgrade.2da problem, you won't be able to use the upgrades unless you have the upgrade.2da from my mod or one that is compatable. Or again, you might have 2 of them in your override. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MdKnightR Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Now that someone has mentioned it, I had the same problem until I manually edited the upcrystals.2da file. But now, since I upgraded TSL with the Obsidian patch a couple of months ago, the Darkkender Workbench has disappeared from the cargo hold of the Ebon Hawk. Has anyone else experienced this?

JacenPrime Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 Right, I checked, and I had one extra upgrade, but no upcrystals (I have the 2das from USM) Removing the upgrade 2da helped with some of the saber upgrades, I can now use the 6 upgrades from the Prestige pack (thoug the Conote Energy Cell and the Vrellite Intensity Lens have no stat bonuses to add) but the Star Forge Lens, Star Forge Emitter and Thorium Reactor Cell do not appear as upgrade choices. I thank you though, RedHawke, for helping me at least solve part of this puzzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 (thoug the Conote Energy Cell and the Vrellite Intensity Lens have no stat bonuses to add) FYI, they do have bonuses, they just don't show any because of a probable display issue... believe me they do do something. Put them in a saber and see. TSL doesn't like adding properties twice on some items... I'm glad you got it working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacenPrime Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 Okay, I see what they are now Now to get those last three to start working (Aha! U_l_lens, emit and cell were for some reason not listed under my upgrade 2da...mystery solved!) Now to find out the culprit for the sabers EDIT and I have just found the answer to that problem, and to anyone with the USM mod and this mod, this might affect you In the Upcrystals.2da files, rows 41-56, which are files u_l_colo_*number*, they are listed as u_i_colo_*number* and rows 46-55 are listed u_i_color_*number* therefore explainng the problem. I think if you intend to use both mods, check it out (also applies to Shadow's Saber Mod and Odyssey Saber mod) Thanks for the catch JP. I've updated the USM .2da (for the standalone). It's listed in the 1st post as "Update 4" here: USM Release Thread - ChAiNz.2da Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you installed the patch with files in overide it will erase those files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MdKnightR Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 If you installed the patch with files in overide it will erase those files. So all I need to do is reinstall the mod? I can still get your sabers through cheat, so did that patch only overwrite the files necessary for the workbench? While we are on this subject, has anyone ever experienced the sliver effect? What I mean by that is whenever I have a Darkkender single-blade saber equipped when entering a new area, at certain angles the blade looks like it is turned on, but at other angles, it appears to be either off or just a sliver of light. If I turn it on and let it go off, this "sliver effect" disappears. It doesn't happen to the doubleblades though. Has this happened to anyone else?

The 1.0b patch erases everything in overide and adds 3 files back into it. I've never experienced the sliver effect but I highly doubt this could only be a problem with my single blade sabers. The reason is every saber mod out there uses the same method for replacing and creating. So if it's happening with mine it should happen with everybodies.

It should be happening to every other lightsaber, but it isn't....not even your doublesabers, just the single ones. I will try to reinstall your mod and see if it still happens, even though I noticed the sliver before 1.0b. If it still does it, I will post a screenshot of it.
