supreme kotor Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Could I make a suggestion for a saber? The BA-122 Prototype Lightsaber(s) from the USM mod. Probably wont happen because. Some of the people that you would need permission from Aren't around anymore . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christos K Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I know that VP has permission from Chainz but does that include the rest of the USM team? Plus I wasn't sure if Chainz was behind the BA-122 or not. Just now I looked at the credits for the USM mod and it looks like Chainz made the following, Xia Terashai's Short Saber Disciple's "Agenda" Lightsaber Segan Wyndh Long Saber Zez-Kai Ell's Double Saber BA-122 Prototype Double Saber So I guess all is good.

VarsityPuppet Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 We'll not go too much into USM permissions on this thread. I'm more concerned with releasing as many sabers as I can at the moment. Speaking of which, it seems that HOTOR sabers are joining the ranks of sabers included in this here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milestails Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 One saber that immediately comes to mind is Satele Shan's second double-bladed lightsaber from the Hope cinematic trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunjeeman Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I was speaking with my brother recently (also a KotOR player), and he brought up the fact that Keen is not used very much in the saber modifications that do big damage; you have to sacrifice damage or stat boost to get better critical rating. Could you put Keen on a saber or two so tis isn't a issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggomonkey Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 if you want some more vibrant stock saber colours I might be able to pull out one of my files from deep within my mess of computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarsityPuppet Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Another Update: Darth Traya's hilt. Of course it will be available for use as a saber hilt and for the final battle with Kreia herself. I actually modeled the top and bottom parts after the Trayus core. Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Thoughts, suggestions? Should that red light change with the blade color? Do I need better symbols on the hilt?

Christos K Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Perhaps its resemblance to the Trayus core should be a bit more/less subtle. I just can't decide which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resemblance I refer to being the 5 "claws". The symbols are gibberish, although I wonder if some Aurekbesh would be better suited there.

Should that red light change with the blade color? Do I need better symbols on the hilt? Amazing work! If the saber is named after Kreia/Traya, then no the red should be static. I think it would look better a bit darker red, unless that's just because of the rendering that it looks that light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildevil Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Looks good VP Not sure about going trough the trouble of animating-it, unless you are positive that the player will get to see-it clearly in the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Holocron Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thoughts, suggestions? Should that red light change with the blade color? Do I need better symbols on the hilt? I've 2 ways of looking at this. Kreia's Philosophy Approach Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) It seems almost silly to have to spoiler this but Kreia starts as a Jedi, then becomes a Sith, and then winds up being neither. She is simply Kreia. Since she isn't tied to a particular code, neither should her saber. The Simple Approach In the beginning of the game, she is wielding a green saber not a red one. If an argument is to made for a static color, it should be that color. I'm not terribly invested in this so I don't wish to personally debate this. (Besides, it's VP that needs the suggestions.) ^ Yes. Gosh, that font is beautiful. Also looks disturbingly like Hebrew. Well, the history behind that font is that it was used on Darth Vader's light-up breathing apparatus box. Read more about it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarsityPuppet Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 I now have access to all of KDJ's HOTOR hilts. Been thinking all of his double-bladed sabers will make it into the mod. Any others that you guys would like to see? It's not that I can't think of any to add, there are just a lot to go through with gmax and everything.

Apoc Nizmith Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 SICKNESS! I want a custom saber lol. Looks like it is off to work time for me, MUST HAVE CUSTOM SABER OF DEATH AND DOOM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarsityPuppet Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Well, there's no saber customizing. (As in individual parts). That indeed would be a large undertaking. There will just be a lot of saber schematics to choose from. Mine and Canderis' goal is to have schematics for all the Jedi Masters, all of the Sith Lords, for each prestige class and for each basic Jedi Class. I figure party member sabers could just be filled in by USM sabers. Eventually, we'd like to get all of the USM sabers ported over and a good number of HOTOR sabers. Ideally, if we could get every saber ported over that'd be cool, but it'd also be cool to get people to contribute more sabers and make it sort of a community driven mod.

VarsityPuppet Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Already got the sith prophecy font on Traya saber. I'd post a pic, but well... my power's out. Anywho, it's funny how you can put simple words and have it look sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VarsityPuppet Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Any plans to use sabers from KDJ's TOR Series Saber Mod? Sure, why not? KDJ has granted me permission to use all of his saber hilts. Also, the first video of the Saber Console in action! (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.)

VarsityPuppet Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Update: The scope of this mod has changed. Instead of making a new set of Sabers (as originally stated), we will instead be focusing on converting USM hilt, HOTOR hilts and any other random hilts to be compatible with this mod. Only 3 sabers (modeled by your truly) will be included and will be known as the Sith Lords pack. As you might imagine, they will be the sabers of Darth Sion, Nihiuls and Traya. After converting all of the saber models, maybe I'll have some inspiration to try some other hilts. Anywho, I'll offer updates as we go along converting USM and HOTOR hilts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
