This restoration is the first mod I have ever released to the KotOR modding community, but don't let that fool you. It restores an item/weapon that was dummied out of the game, complete with custom item properties, the ability to give off light, and an in-game location where it can be found. It's not much, but I hope you all enjoy it in any case.

GLOW ROD RESTORATION
============================
AUTHOR:
Sir Stroud
ABOUT:
This mod will restore the Glow Rod that was cut from the final release of KotOR as a melee weapon. Apparently Bioware had decided it wasn't needed and dummied it out of the game. Thankfully, its model, texture, and icon were left in the game's memory, which made it possible for me to restore it.
The Glow Rod can be found in-game on an Outcast corpse in the Taris Undercity, though you will have to find the corpse on your own. (Hint: This particular Outcast was searching for the Promised Land)
For those who don't want to search for the Outcast corpse, or who have already left Taris, type "giveitem g_i_glowrod01" into the cheat console to spawn a Glow Rod in your inventory.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Extract the archive and run TSLPatcher.exe. Follow the program's instructions to install the mod.
Either find the Glow Rod in-game as described above or spawn it in your inventory via KSE or console command. The code for the Glow Rod is g_i_glowrod01.
COMPATIBILITY:
This mod is compatible with other mods as long as none of the other mods edit the Glow Rod entry in the Baseitems.2da file.
BUGS:
None that I currently am aware of.
