[tsl] Peragus Industrial Droid Saber

[e-varmint]

Here is another item that is going into the Peragus Weapons Pak. This will be included with the nine.roses Modified Mining Laser and the Sonic Scrambler Anti-Droid Cannon (which nobody gets to see until the Pak is released).

 

 

Edit: Alternate mapping after I went texture-surfing:

Alternate texture. Just overwrite the mdl. mdx, and tga in the above .zip file:

Put all unzipped files in your TSL Override folder. I included a modified locker which contains two sabers.

Interesting design. Simple, yet effective. It does look, from your picture, that there's a seam on the handle itself, so if that's the case you may want to pay more attention to that for future projects. Otherwise nicely done.

[e-varmint]

Thanks!!! The handle is square, so the seam may be the lower face. I thought it would look more industrial that way.

 

Now I see two other mapping issues, though. Good thing I put it here before KotorFiles....

[Inyri]

Square? You can afford to use more sides for your cylinder than four, unless it's supposed to be a square.

 

If you're going for an angular look then I'd certainly recommend making the texture look angular too. If what you say is true you have a square handle and a cylindrical texture. Couple of little touch-ups should fix that though.

I am definitely liking this hilt design. Very simple, like a piece of metal just welded to become a saber hilt

[Talyn82]

I love the idea of this mod, also the description about the maker is funny.

 

Great work!

[Arátoeldar]

A very unique idea. I like it.

[EGJason]

Nice Job!

 

I like it, very clean and simple, i.e. back to basic lightsabers!

@ Everyone above:

 

Thanks for the comments! This and the Mining Laser are the most-downloaded items that I have made lately. I will take the "hint" from this information and make more similar items.

nice work, look real unique

Nice work again E-varmint! ... very interesting background story but ... there are at least 2 dialogs (Atton at the Ebon Hawk cockpit) and Bao-dur later (in the Ebon Hawk too) when the exile is asked about why he/she has not a lightsaber available ... and if he/she got one at Peragus then it will bother a little to the game storyline but that's me

What I did in my game is a change to the .uti description so now it is assembled by Bao-dur for Kreia (as she requested) at Telos (instead of Peragus), and I limited it to be wielded only by Kreia, this way Bao-Dur's scene about making a saber for the exile keeps sense.

 

All this because I'm a bothering TSL fan who does not want to give this mod a 10/10

 

Very nice modelling e-var keep these coming!

That's a great idea!!!! Maybe I should do something similar when I release the Pak. That way, the player does not get everything at once!

 

Thanks for the compliment, too!

I'm glad you liked the idea here is the full description I added to my .uti file:

 

"This was pieced together by Bao-Dur engineer at Telos. Using a crystal Kreia found on the Ebon Hawk, he applied his knowledge of lightsabers to create an ion beam which is enhanced by the attached ion charger. This was possible because Kreia scavenged few parts from some of the destroyed Peragus droids before leaving the mining facilities. Bao-Dur finished assembling the weapon in time to make it available for Kreia, as she requested, right before leaving the Czerka underground base at a Telos restoration area.

 

It is a rudimentary saber, but maybe powerful enough to replace Kreia's missing lightsaber after falling unconcious at the Peragus II facility."

 

... and I put the saber into inventory through a script before leaving the Czerka Underground base at Telos, weather Kreia is in the party or not.

 

hope it helps good modding

[Pikmin]

are you also going to modify the heavy mining laser? It still looks like a normal rifle.

[redrob41]

That's got some nice style. Very industrial and gritty. Great job

[Revan 411]

Good job on these Sabers! I like how they look like!

[Darth Cryptic]

Very nice saber hilt. Looks like it's designed to double as a pipe you smoke to get it past security.
