[kotor] Lightsaber and Force Forms

[Darth InSidious]

This mod adds 10 lightsaber forms and four force forms to the game, which can be learned at various levels. These can be learned from four holocrons and one new NPC, on Dantooine, Kashyyyk, Korriban and the Unknown World. The player can learn a total of seven forms. They can be activated from the medpac/stims section of the GUI. This mod uses TSLPatcher, and is fully compatible with K1RP. The holocrons and the NPC are fully voiced. Where possible, the stats for the forms imitate those in KotOR II. This mod also replaces the icons for the two holocrons Bioware put in the game.

 

Stats for the forms are as follows:

Description

-----------

 

This mod adds ten lightsaber and four force forms to KotOR, which may be learnt on Dantooine, Kashyyyk, Korriban and the Unknown World.

 

Hint: Ataru can be learnt from the Dantooine holocron at around level 13, so be sure to check back there. You should learn a maximum of seven forms in each class:

Click the ‘Install Mod’ button.

 

Uninstallation

--------------

 

If TSLPatcher made backups (in the 'backups' folder), copy any files it backed up

into your Override folder. Delete all files which this mod installed and which are not .2da files.

 

Known Bugs

----------

-Forms appear as buff items, alongside adrenal shots;

-Forms can appear in a wonky order (Form IX: Shien often appears before Form V: Shien/Djem So)

-Switching forms takes up a full combat round;

-Revan's holocron looks like an ordinary Sith holocron, not the Rakata temple. Sorry, didn't have time to make a new model.

 

Compatibility

-------------

 

This mod should be compatible with most others. Nevertheless, it *may* cause incompatibilities

with any mod which alters or makes use of:

 

- the script slot for Entry 99 of kor35_utharwynn.dlg

- the script slot for Entry 0 of kor39_utharwynn.dlg

- the script slot for Entry 19 of dan13_belaya.dlg

- the script slot for Entry 1 of k_player_dialog.dlg

- unk44_sparty.dlg; particularly any mod which adds a third entry to the dialogue file, and uses it to fire a script.

- Item 2 in the droppable list for kas25_wraid.utc

Great! Adds some depth to combat.

[Christos K]

They are activated in the medpack/stimpack section of the HUD, right? Just curious if this means non-Jedi can use them? Or can only the PC use them? Or some other cool workaround beyond my modding comprehension lol

[Darth InSidious]

No, only the player character can use them.

[Qui-Gon Glenn]

Impressive. Most impressive.

 

I assume source is included? I will need to do some script injection to make this work with my current mod list.

[Darth InSidious]

Thanks, Qui-Gon!

 

Source is included, yes. Can I ask which mods you're expecting incompatibilities with?

[Qui-Gon Glenn]

Well, I had concerns about BOSSR, but specifically I thought I had read something in Kain's description on the Dialog moderation. I may have been confused... This was a fairly vanilla playthrough, although ORD Mandell left me hugely overpowered early

[logan23]

Awesome!

[Darth InSidious]

v1.1 Released!

Changes in v1.1:

-Fixed an error causing the Harmony Form to show with no icon;

-Fixed an error with the Force Form effects;

-Fixed an error with Soresu having an effective 0 deflection;

-Fixed an error which allowed form effects to stack.

 

Thanks to Daemonjax at KotORNexus for noticing these and letting me know.

[Andhakara]

I've installed it with numerous mods, including K1R, Jedi from the start, and BoSSR. The files that didn't want to copy, I copied by hand. So far it works great and is a great mod, 10/10.

 

One questions to any of you that played it.

Am I supposed to meet an additional Sith Teacher on Korriban at level 13 (my first planet) or is it too early?
