[tutorial] Scripts for adding Jedi-specific loot to 262TEL and 611DAN

[Achilles]

According to the story, Atris has a collection of Jedi stuff stashed in her secret academy and enclave sublevel is allegedly brimming with goodies. However, your odds of finding "the good stuff" in either of these places is no better than anywhere else.

 

I've taken steps to correct this and thought others might benefit from these scripts as well. Feel free to do whatever you'd like with these.

 

To use, simply compile with appropriate "include" scripts and drop into your override folder.

Cool idea. Bookmarking this page, I'm definitely going to have to take advantage of it when I get my game reinstalled.

This is a great resource, and fixes something that always bugged me, when I first played the game, I was expecting to find some goodies at the Jedi Academy, and was most disapointed when I found nothing.

 

I've encountered an interesting problem for Force Fashion 2, we've added the remaining Lightsaber fixtures into a custom utp where there is some Jedi loot. I presume its some sort of globals issue; as the game doesn't recognize that you have all the needed to build a new lightsaber. Anyone have any suggestions?

Without more detail, I'm only guessing. I know that the other lightsaber parts do update the global, so if you're not following suit, then that's probably why it isn't working.

 

Have a look at a_give_quest_ls, a_give_quest_lsc, k_death_give_ls, k_dth_give_ls_lo, and k_dth_givels_rct (I think that's all of them ) for more info.
