Sup, I'm trying to make my first saber based on Malak's saber. I'm trying to make it upgradable, and I'm trying to get the blade color yellow rather than red. The problem I have right now is that for some reason when i equip the saber, I end up equipping a standard , blue saber rather than my custom one. =\ Also, when I go to try and upgrade it at the workbench, the blade and the hilt don't show up, although the yellow crystal does.
I'm thinking it might have something to do w/ the .UTI file or possibly the MDL files. For example on the UTI I've got the Model Variation set at 9, and Tag and TemplateResRed both set at g_w_lghtsbr09. Although, if I set the TemplateResRef value back to Malak's g_w_lghtsbr06 the model shows up perfectly in the game and in the upgrade menu. I've set the values inthe MDL file to w_lghtsbr_09, and w_lsabreyelo_1 respectively also, is there something wrong in this that I'm doing?
:confused:
any help would be much appreciated yo!:D
peace
zip it up and email it to me and I'll take a look at it tonight. Please be sure to include your upcrystal.2da.
Thanks,
Chris
Try setting the model variation to 10, also check all the corresponding files to insure they all point to that file, do you have ALL the files you have to extract in the override? If not that may be causing it as well.
I ran into a similar problem with mine as well, Check T7Nowhere's Lightsabre modding tutorial and re-trace your steps and make sure that nothing was left out, I had to do that to get everything working with mine. Though I still can't figure out how to keep Malak's lightsabre from looking the same as the one I made..... Blargh I'll nail that one eventually!

Word, after some more tweaking and studying of these boards =P I've just finished getting it to work now. I don't remember where exactly, but yeah I do remember T7 saying something awhile back about how certain models (or mdl's, can't remember exactly) are just bad to use. So I downloaded his saber pack w/ his Guardian of the Light saber which uses the same .mdl file as Malak's. A little substitution of my values for his, and BAM! yo it worked on the first try! I was like :confused: but also :D at the same time, heheh.

Just be sure that none of the files are the same as the ones for malaks do that malaks saber is not overidden. Most likely you should just need to change the model var and uti ResRef.
