M@RS Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I've been wanting to make my own saber blades (not hilts)... But haven't been able to find a really nice, and easy tutorial to use... If there is one, could you give a link, if not, could you tell me? Thanks for any help...
katanamaru Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 It requires finding the files and editing them. The files are in a folder called effects or something. Once you find them you can adjust the colors in a program like gimp or create new lines and trails as well. That's it really.

I took one of the many saber mods on JK3files and edited the lines (made them wider and rounder), made it a pk3 and it didn't work... What did I do wrong, I double checked the new pk3 and the old pk3 and they're exactly the same (except for the lines)... Any help would be great...
katanamaru Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 There could be another saber blade mod in your base folder. I've done this before: if you remade the folders the same you may have accidentally dropped the original file in your base. Do not use the color black as a blade or core in JA. Black is the transparency color and may be causing a problem. Other than that you may have to be more specific with your problem.
M@RS Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 Alright, so I tried to make a mod using an existing one... I made the blade wider and a little bit rounder... I made it a pk3 and put it in my base folder loaded JA and the saber blades hadn't changed, I was still using the default ones... I don't think I have any other saber blade mods in, but I'll check... Thanks...
katanamaru Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Maybe it is the deminsions you have your blades saved as. If you loaded up a core for instance and wanted to make it wider and just streched it out, that won't work. JA looks for the saber core, lines and glows to be saved at a certain sizes. Other than that you could load up what you have and I'll look at it.
DarthJacen Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I fixed this problem by cutting and pasting the edited image using paint. That way the core dimensions remain a power of 2, you know 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256. Unless your dimensions remain a power of 2 the game will not use it.
