Oh cool!,


So Matt,

When you look from behind and you see the saber it looks like that where it begins at the hilt it has a kind of a distortion or something; it's much wider on the right side so i wanted to ask
is that due to my pc or do you have that too?

This is with the original sabers

Sadly yes it does do this on mine but i've got an idea on how to sort this little problem out, if you want, i can try it but it may destroy the ' energy ' effect :( and thats why i released it, becoz it did have a more powerful effect to it.

oh and ppl, should i add my own custom stats to my lightsabres or leave it so you can enjoy the texture and a normal sabre?

please reply

I like the new one very much.
*with steadily risiing voice* I must have them now!!! :D

As to your question, I think you should have both in one zip file.

Take the stock saber uti files and make them one option. Modify the uti files in KT to what you want, and then there will be a different option. People can use which one they want.
If I am not mistaken, this will not be a lot of extra work.

If you can't/won't do this, then the custom route. There are already standard sabers and upgrades. Yours have a different flare, visually, and as such, should have different stats.

My 25 cents.

Personally I like the green better! If I were releasing this, I'd put both of them out there. More options is always a good thing :)

As to custom stats, you can do whatever you want there - If I were to get them and wanted normal stats - I'd just edit the custom stats out myself. But, maybe you'd want to inclue two options there as well - its all up to you. You're the creator :)

okay, i'll make 2 folders, one with modded stats and the other normal stats, becoz of this, it will take longer. but if you lot are interested, you wont mind :p

Very cool sabers dudes :)
I just think that the sabers you guys create in holowan should look a bit like more the sabers from the movie.
Well its just what I think....
Anyway, nice to see that you all people are still here modding KOTOR like before, even tho the KOTOR2 is upon us :D
Will the tools and items work on it?
Anyway nice to see you all.

Don't forget KSE. It may not work with KotOR:TSL from the start (two different games, so lots of things will have to be changed in order for it to work with K2 (KT probably wouldn't have this problem)), but it is a great tool if you want to change all things about your game, without heavily modding the game with scripts and such. If you just want one item and don't want the CHEAT across your savegame image.

@MattCole (lost files)
That is why there is a search function for the computer :p. But in all seriousness, I hope you find them, as then I can use them (if I ever get back to playing KotOR :( (I have been modding a different game for my pleasure :D, that's why I haven't been around at all (though I doubt anyone noticed or cared))).

Well okay then, but I've run into a slight problem, Matt, can you resend the mod (and my crystal) to me? I emptied out my inbox the other day and deleted it... And if you don't want me to do the hex, ok then... Sorry to hear that...

God no please dont release those colors, you will ruin all that is good and right with KotOR. If you want to make a saber color mod how aobut just adding an orange crystal and making Heart of the Guardian (which is suppose to have a gold blade) have a gold blade. Oh and maybe a light blue sort of crystal/color would be cool to.

Let's keep the comments constructive. If you have a negative opinion, keep it to yourself. You are NOT obligated to download anything. For all you know someone may think they look cool, IE Shosey and myself.

I finally got a chance to look at these in-game, and I think they look pretty cool, but they just don't give me the lightsaber vibe, they sort of give me a colorful sword w/ a "smoke-like" glow vibe, but none the less they look great.

Well, either Gsccc or myself can put them up, if he can't I can get the files from him.

And no problem I'm not really disappointed, I know hex is hard I spent 40 minutes the other day re-hex-ing the same model over and voer, and then I realized a left an "L" out of the file name! :D

Nice but the lightsaber blades dont look like lightsaber blades and the colors dont look like classic lightsaber colors (though i like the silver).

Perhaps you should just add new colors instead of changing everything.

No need to feel bad my friend. It seems to be a common problem. From my very first time submitting mods at pcgamemods, I made it a point to archive the Submission Instructions. You can look at the archived page here:

http://www.jumpstationz.com/games/mods/Tutorials/pcgamemods%20screenshot%20submissions.mht)

or better yet, here:

http://www.pcgamemods.com/imagetutorial.html)

The reason mine is a .mht file is because it's a "Web Archive, single file" format. Meaning I have this page saved on my hardrive, with the pics inbedded in the document (no need to be connected for those of you that are on dial-up).

If you use IE, (maybe FireFox, I'm not sure) just find a webpage you like or want to save... goto File > Save As..
Under the "Save As type:" drop-down...choose ".mht" and a copy of that page, links, pictures and all, will be saved to your drive in a single file. Whenever you want to see it, just double-click and a browser window will open with said page wether you're connected to the internet or not :D

It's pretty handy to have, especially for the times you can't be online in order to make the screenies. Just follow the picture examples they give and you'll be uploading screenies like a pro...
Once you get the hang of it, you can always go back and submit screenies for previously posted mods...

**hint- I use this exact same method for the screenshots of my mods on my own website ;) I highly recommend getting the "Easy Thumbnails" program they offer for download on the page. I've used it for other things than my mods. It's a great little utility :)

Now, with all that being said...I'm going to go download my copy of your updated mod! :thumbsup:

Looking over these, all I could think was that it's a really nice concept. I especially like the white one, I think if you could somehow combine this with a normal sabers glow (thicker and bright at the core) it would have an interesting wave effect. Sort of combine the old sabers and this . . . is what I mean - in my minds eye (basing it off the brightness of the white saber) it has the potential to look very very cool.

-

As is it is not my thing, but not bad by any stretch of the imagination - just for people that like a certain kind of thing.

Good job. :)
