Hi, a little question.

How do you change the Force powers of the NPCs? In the NPC_list.txt file (whatever is its name) you can change many aspects of every NPC, its class, its sabercolor, etc. But I can't find any trace of a Force power list or which weapon the NPC carry.

Is it possible to change the level of Force powers? I'd like to change them for the story mode (for kyle I changed some level scripts).

Thanks in advance!

Jedi Outcast's NPC modding/creating abilities were poor. You basically were stuck to either 1) a blaster-wielding ally 2) a blaster-wielding enemy 3) an ally Jedi 4) an enemy Jedi.

I don't think you can change the specific stuff in outcast such as weapons, Force powers, etc. Just appearance, general efficiency (health, aim, reactions), sounds, dismemberment, etc.
