Introduction
------------

It's been a long time in coming, but at last this mod has been completed, bugfixed and is now (hopefully) playable.
When oldflash originally made the fork model, perhaps a year ago now I agreed to make it unique and available in all colours.
I came very close to failing to do so, thanks to a few hitches along the way, but it is, at long last, complete.
And so, without further blithering on my part, here is the mod.

-Darth InSidious, 9/11/2007

Description
-----------

This mod adds a whole set of new short lightsabres - one for each lightsabre colour available in the game, and their crystals to the game. They can be found in the Enclave Sublevel on Dantooine, in the secure storage area.

Installation
------------

Just double-click on the "Install "Fork" Short Lightsabres" icon to begin the installation. Do not attempt manual installation - it will not work.
Don't worry about fiddling with the Source Scripts or Screenshots folders - they are not required for the mod to run.

Uninstallation
--------------

And any files I missed off my list, with the exception of 'upcrystals.2da' - do NOT remove this file if it is used in another, or several other mods in your Override folder, as those mods will no longer work either. If there is a mod conflict, remove the upcrystals.2da for this mod and and put in the upcrystals.2da for the other mod. Or vice versa. Likewise for 'door_conductor2.utd'.

Known Conflicts
---------------

As far as I know, this mod shouldn't conflict with many that are out there - the only one I can think of at the moment is MdKnightR's 'Heart of the Force' sabres. It should be fully compatible with the USM and most mods using upcrystals.2da, but don't hesitate to tell me if you find that there's a conflict with another mod. I may not be able to help, but I can put a warning in any future updates of the mod. :)

The mod may also conflict with any other mod that uses the "door_conductor2.utd" file.

Known Bugs
----------

None that I know of at present. Again, please let me know if you find any. :)

oldflash for the original model, texture and icon.
stoffe-mkb- for the excellent TSLPatcher, and the immensely lucid and easy-to-follow accompanying tutorial.
The kind folk of Holowan Labs/Lucasforums and KotORFiles for waiting so long for this mod. :)

Impressive. You did a great job by adding those crystals. Thanks for release.

Instant download for me! Uber-tastic, both of you! :)

the fork lightsabers mod was what introduced me to mods, now I can finally download it, sweet!

Here is the FileFront link.

sweet is this compatible with USM?

Holy cow, I had to blink a couple times to figure out what I was looking at. :D Very impressive Darth Insidious and oldflash! Does it parry on both side of the blades with spark animations? The "single" wielder stance is kind of odd but I guess you have to use two hands for proper balance. :p I suppose as a double fork wielder you could feel a bit like Wolverine. :D The hilts and icons look great, by the way. :thumbsup:

How do they flourish?

Wow. When I first saw this, I didn't look very closely. Now, I'm very impressed.

Impressive, very impressive Gentlemen.

That is just sweet-looking!

What a unique idea. :thumbsup:

I'll definitely have to check this out.

The model numbers are high enough so I see no reason why it shouldn't be. ;)

(Apologies for the delay in responding - I don't really have much of an excuse. Sorry.)

Thank you for making the originals. :)

And thank you for the quick upload!

This mod should be fully compatible with the USM, although I'll admit that I haven't tested it. If you have any problems, PM me.

I think so...It should do, anyhow.
The "single" wielder stance is kind of odd
True, but maybe it's very heavy, or has a kind of fold-down second hand-hold? :p

They look OK flourishing, I think.

Wow! Great mod! It was definately a download of mine, and am loving it thus.

Just wondering, any chance to make it for K1?

Brilliant, I love it :D - I can be a bad ass Wolverine Jedi XD

I'll talk to oldflash about it. :)

Hello
When i try to install your mod i get • Warning: A file named upcrystals.2da already exists in the Override folder. Skipping file... and • Warning: Unable to copy file "iw_Stunbaton_241", file does not exist!
What can i do?
If i emty override folde and install your mod i get • Warning: Unable to copy file "iw_Stunbaton_241", file does not exist!
And if i get it to work do i have to make a new game or will they be in the storage area?
Thx for your help i realy want the mod to work :)

Is it alright if I make a different model for K1? I've thought about this before on my own, but when I saw this I initially just didn't do anything.

Could you be a little more explicit as to what you're asking?

Just a lightsaber for K1 that has two blades pointing forwards. Not the same model as this one at all, I just don't want to steal anyone's ideas.

It was originally a request that oldflash answered. I don't think there'd be a problem - not from me, anyway - but its oldflash's model.

I guess I'll contact him then...

This mod is now available for download (http://deadlystream.com/forum/files/file/384-fork-short-lightsabers/) from DeadlyStream. Links have been updated accordingly at the top of the first post.

My hard drive crapped out on my a month ago, and of all the mods that I lost, this was the one I was most upset about. Glad I was able to find it again. :) I ended up tweaking it just a little. My Jedi version is called "Claws of the Wolverine", and my Sith is "Claws of the Sabertooth".

Apparently I'm not the only one who thought this would be a cool mashup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6lY1hskW6I)
