adammoon Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I have just started modding. I got inspired by some of the mods that have been released. I would like to create my own lightsaber blade color, but have no idea how to do it. I am starting to get to where I can give properties to my sabers and things like that, but I want to give my saber a unique blade color. Does anyone know how to do that? Keep in mind, I have had no computer programming and have just started modding. I need a start at square one and assume I know nothing kind of answer. A step by step would be nice too. I checked out the tutorials on Holowan labs, but I did not see a tutorial on modifying blade colors. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adammoon Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Thanks guys. I had already tried those tutorials before and the only changing of blade colors they tell you how to do is changing among the blade colors that occur in the game already. I want to be able to completely change the blade color. I would like to get rid of the white core and change it to a color and then change the glow to another color. I have seen in other mods where people have done that, but I cannot find any instructions on how to do it myself. Anyone got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithRevan Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Somebody actually made a mod like that you should try and se if you can find the person, email them, and ask how they did it. You can also just experiment a little. But anyway you go try to have fun doing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using KotOR Tool, you'll need to extract the lightsaber blade texture colors, I can't tell you exactly where to locate them, because I don't have KT on this comp, but they should be named w_lsabre_red01 or something to that affect. Sorry, wish I could be of more help. -Mav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p2000 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 In KT (for KotOR1 at least), the blades are found under ERFs - TexturePacks - swpc_tex_tpa.erf - W - w_lsabre*colour*01.tpc. Easiest is to just replace you least favourite colour with your new one. It's not too hard however to add a whole new colour crystal because of the way it's set up, I'll explain it if wanted.

Princess Artemis Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 This is a post I made a while back explaining some of the things you can do to make a new lightsaber blade color. I'm not sure it's all that you'll need, but it should help somewhat I hope. http://www.lucasforums.com/showpost.php?p=2112849&postcount=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
