I was going to delay release of this mod until I finished all the stuff I wanted to change (at which point I would call it the Ultimate Force Mod by Team Admiral, :xp: JK), but I figured it would take too long to finish. So here it is, version 1.0 of my K1 Force Pack, which adds the seven lightsaber forms as Force powers (with 2 tiers for a total of 14 new powers) that can be selected during character level-up. I tried to stay as accurate as possible to what each form is supposed to do. Many thanks to Wookiepedia for some of that info. :D I mentioned it in the ReadMe, but I felt I should say it again here. Thanks to deathdisco for first implementing this as armbands, and thanks to Darth Payne for agreeing to test this on such short notice.

From the ReadMe:
K1 Force Pack

Version: 1.0

Developer: Star Admiral

Date: 12/31/08

What This Mod Does:
- Adds 14 new Force powers to K1, with custom icons, available during
character level-up.
- These powers are lightsaber forms, as K1 unfortunately does not include
any.
- As they are lightsaber forms and not new ways to kill enemies, I did not
add flashy animations for them, as I felt it did not make sense.
- Read the Force Powers section for detailed information regarding each new
power.
- Rebalance the different Jedi classes to better distinguish them, with
Consulars getting the most powers, Guardians getting the most feats, and
Sentinels getting the most skills.
- Eliminate the cross-class skill penalty, as I felt Bioware’s skill
allocation made little sense.
- Add health regeneration, so your character will slowly regenerate health
while out of combat.
- Improve the Force power regeneration, so your character will regenerate
Force points slightly while in combat and much quicker out of combat.

Resilience Proficiency (Universal Power)
Prerequisites:

Aggression Proficiency (Universal Power)
Prerequisites:
Character Level 8

Form IV, the Way of the Hawk-Bat, or the Aggression Form, is a form that
employs a combination of Force-assisted acrobatics to defeat an opponent.
Masters of this form could appear as a blur to their opponents, their speed
improving both defense and offensive abilities. However, it is an exhaustive
form, ill-suited for prolonged duels.

Perseverance Proficiency (Universal Power)
Prerequisites:
Character Level 8

Form V, the Way of the Krayt Dragon, or the Perseverance Form, is a form

passive. It retains Form III's blaster bolt deflection ability and improves
the strength of a user's attacks, though sacrifices defense.

Moderation Proficiency (Universal Power)
Prerequisites:
Character Level 8

Form VI, the Way of the Rancor, or the Moderation Form, is a blend of

Prerequisites:
Character Level 8

Form VII, the Way of the Vornskr, or the the Ferocity Form, is a very
aggressive form that is effective against single opponents, greatly
improving a user's ability to strike. Its emotional demands, though,
render the user vulnerable to Force attacks, and should be used with
caution against strong Force users.

Compatibility Issues:

This mod should be compatible with other mods that also add Force powers
to K1, such as Darth InSidious’ Four Force Powers. Unfortunately, because
this mod modifies the number of powers and feats each character gains per
level, it will not be compatible with other mods that also do the same, such
as Shem’s Feat Progression for K1. If you dislike my version of it, you can
install Shem’s version over mine. Simply install my mod first, then Shem’s.
You’ll get the best of both worlds. If there is a major conflict with another
popular mod, contact me and I’ll see if I can release a patch to make mine
compatible.

Bugs:
None that I know of. This was supposed to be part of a much bigger mod
with many more Force powers, but that project was taking too long, so I
felt I should release this portion first. Version 2 of this mod will add many
more powers to play with, as well as correct any balance issues with this
one.

Contact Information:
You can email me at staradmiral@hotmail.com or you can find me hanging
out at the Holowan Labs at various times of the day under the user name
Star Admiral. I’ll do my best to get back to you ASAP.

Credits:
A million thanks go out to all the people at the Holowan Labs who have
graciously helped me with any modding problems I have had with KOTOR
or TSL. Special thanks go out to DarthParametric, RedHawke, stoffe,
ChAiNz.2da, TriggerGod, and Ferc Kast, without whom I could not have
learned as much as I have in so short a time. For this mod, I must also
thank deathdisco for first implementing lightsaber forms as armbands and
giving me permission to go ahead with making this variant and Darth
Payne for tirelessly helping me to test this mod. Thanks again. =)

Terms of Use:
Naturally, you can modify these files for your personal use. You also may
use them in any mod if you would like, but please give me credit. That's
all I ask.

Now that was long. :xp:

Here are some screenshots, but as pointed out in the ReadMe, no fancy animations are added, as these are combat techniques. Cool visuals don't fit well with that, IMO.

looks good. I'll try it out later since I'm on my iPod right now.

This looks excellent! I'll give it a try on my next playthrough

Nice one SA.

I look forward to seeing the remaining Force Powers you come up with.

Okay I'm confused. Blaster deflection is related to defence rather than attack, yes?
So if you have -2 defence, +4 blaster deflection, you have a net blaster deflection of +2.

?

Obviously your contention is that blaster deflection is related to attack, sort of a jeet kune do (highly aggressive and situational) style of interception?
Genuine mediaeval kendo forms such as included within Takamatsu Ryuha style bujinkan kobudo offer historical appreciation of sword defence against shuriken attack, which I should think about as close as we might get to the blaster deflection in real world terms?
We do so from the ichimonji form (defensive), as there is no other way to match movement with reflexes and the speed of the missile. Yet from ichimonji (the water element) it is indeed more than possible, it is quite like playing baseball or cricket, whilst maintaining a viable (if slightly compromised) melee defence.

You have a point, but in KOTOR, blaster deflection is related to attack. Here's how the game computes it.

If you have a lightsaber, whenever a blaster bolt comes in, the computer makes three dice rolls, the attacker's attack roll, the Jedi's defense roll, and lastly the Jedi's deflection roll. If the defense roll is higher than the attack roll, the shot misses outright, and the deflection roll is ignored. If the attack roll is higher than the defense, then the computer compares it with the deflection roll. If the deflection roll is lower than the attacking roll, the shot hits. If the deflection roll is higher, the shot is deflected in a random direction. If the deflection roll is higher than the attack roll by more than 10, then the shot is deflected right back at the attacker. In computing the defense roll, the Jedi's defense rating is taken into account. In determining the deflection roll, the Jedi's attack modifier is taken into account.

At least that is what I have gleaned from exhaustive review of the Feedback page when fighting an opponent. Thus, I felt justified by linking the attack modifier and the deflection ratings. Please tell me if I am wrong. I'll correct that in the next release. :)

This looks very cool and I look forward yo using it in my next play through.

Hey SA?

I forgot to ask, will this be compatible with Shems Super Enhanced Add On?

Also, here is the KotorFiles Link: http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/K1_Force_Pack;96879)

Thanks for the link. *** Edits previous post. ***

I checked out the files for the Super Enhanced Add-On. They are almost compatible, except for one file, the classes.2da file. I'll release a 1.1 patch for mine in two or three days, else I'll package it in the 2.0 release. It'll probably be better to let Shem's files overwrite mine. No bad things will happen by doing so, as the only edit I made to that file is in the skillpointbase column, which sets how many skill points you get per level-up.

- Star Admiral

Very cool SA.

I'm really looking forward to the future versions of this mod.

If this one is any indication, they are going to be very good.
