Hey. Spent a few weeks off and on putting this together. Hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think of it, or whatever doesn't work properly with it.

 

Version 2.0 Update

 

I have redone all the alpha layers on the hilts. They were god awful. I was new and didn't realize they were so shiny, they were almost hard to look at. I have also been toying around with animated hilts for a little while and I have decided to include them in this final version 2.0. Additionally, each of the five saber blades has been animated as well. The story mod I mentioned before is still slowly being worked on. Its taken so long because I am just not a scripter. If you enjoy these sabers, I am glad I was able to make them for you.

Lord Mathus Lightsaber Pack Ver.2.0 - Created by Matthew Crowston - January 26, 2006

 

I can be reached at crowston@shaw.ca Please put Lord Mathus Sabers in the subject. Thanks.

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

Version 2.0 Update

 

I have redone all the alpha layers on the hilts. They were god awful. I was new and didn't realize they were so shiny, they were almost hard to look at. I have also been toying around with animated hilts for a little while and I have decided to include them in this final version 2.0. Additionally, each of the five saber blades has been animated as well. The story mod I mentioned before is still slowly being worked on. Its taken so long because I am just not a scripter. If you enjoy these sabers, I am glad I was able to make them for you.

 

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

Instructions for animated hilts and blades

 

Install as usual. If in doubt, reread instructions below. Inside the tslpatchdata folder, there is a folder named "Animated." Copy all files from here to your override directory(Only after you have ran the installer). If completed properly you will now have 15 animated hilts with 5 different animated blades.

 

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

PART I: Introduction (prt1)

 

This mod is just a part of a larger story mod that I am working on. This mod will add 5 new saber crystals to the game. 4 of them are attainable in game. The other is meant for the story mod, but is available through KSE or the "giveitem" cheat. With these 5 new crystals you can make a total of 15 new lightsabers. All use the standard game hilt, but each one has a unique hilt skin. Each of the 5 crystals is based on a character in the story mod. I have improved stats, but I was very sparing. These are no where near ridiculous. Hope you enjoy.

PART V: Installation (prt5)

 

This mod should be compatible with the USM and also with the TSL Holowan Plugin. Make sure you install this after those mods though.

 

1. Everything is packed into a wonderful tslpatcher package. Just run the tslpatcher.exe in the mod directory. Use this only. Copying files directly with not work properly

 

2. Check the install log to make sure there were no errors.

 

3. There will be a backup made of upcrystals.2da in the setup directory.

 

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

PART VI: Uninstallation (prt6)

 

Simply remove all of the files listed in the tslpatchdata folder from your override folder. And copy the upcrystals.2da file from the backup directory back into your override directory.(Assuming you had one before, if not then just delete it)

 

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

PART VII: In-Game Placement (prt7)

 

Of the 5 core crystals, 4 are attainable through the game. One is inside Vogga the Hutts secret stash inside his lair. Another is in Master Uthars chambers on Korriban. The other 2 you need to find on your own. If you play the game generally thorough you probably won't miss any. The 5th one is meant for a story mod I am working on, so it is not attainable in-game. But it is available with KSE or the "giveitem" cheat.

 

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

PART VIII: Known Bugs (prt8)

 

There are no known bugs at this time.

 

If you discover a bug please report them to me on the Holowan Labratory Forum at http://www.lucasforums.com or more specifically:

 

http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=151659

 

You may also e-mail MattCrowston at, crowston@shaw.ca

 

Please report any incompatibilities with other mods. Hopefully I will be able to rectify them.

Hey. Does anyone know who moderates pcgamemods. Can't seem to find any info on the site. Was just wondering if anyone knows who. I would like to get in contact with them. Thanks

Our own T7nowhere is an admin there, so you can just PM him here.

 

Again, great mod :)

Just wanted to make a small correction in the readme. I thanked tk102 for mdlops when it should have been cchargin. And I thanked T7Nowhere for K-GFF when it should have been tk102. They deserve the credit and the thanks for making it possible to make mods. Thank you, I couldn't have made it without you.

I keep getting a 404 file not found on pcgamemods when I try to download this file, anyone else getting this?

 

I got this a couple times too. I spoke to T7 and he said its usually caused by adware or spyware. I keep my computer pretty lean so I don't think I have any of that crap. The d/l has worked on and off for me. Please keep trying. :) T7 assures me the site is functioning normally. If its unavailable for another day I will repost it. Please let me know if its causing you trouble. I want everyone to try the mod. :)

Well, I know I don't have any spy-/adware, and the windows 2003 server computer I installed and tried to download this on the other day didn't have any spy-/adware, it could just be a typo or something on the site. I've got my download manager (free download manager) trying it but it keeps telling me 'file not found on server', and i've got it set to try 100 times. I've tried to grab this from a few different places (here, on two of my computers, and school on two different operating systems) and keep getting file not found...

your naming convention is fine, it's probably just a "glitch" with PCGM and Sergio's updating (as Darth333 had said ;) )...

 

I'd hold off on uploading a new version unless T7 thinks it would be a good idea. That, or if you have a site you can temporarily upload it to, you could point a link to it in your comments section...

 

p.s. just FYI, in the future if you have naming convention questions, it's always best to leave out "special" characters such as apostrophes, quotations and parentheses... dashes & underscores however should work fine :)
