Description:
These lightsaber hilts are ChAiNz.2da’s first attempt ever at making new lightsaber hilt models. They’re very unique indeed. Also in this pack comes an alternate choice to use the author’s unique style of blade styles, representing each of the seven different lightsaber colors you see in the KOTOR game. As you may have noticed, the author really loves thinking outside the box and has no trouble bring in new things you wouldn’t usually see in the Star Wars Universe. These blade colors are no exception. This really appeals to those who are looking for new original stuff. If you don’t like those blade styles, just simply follow the instructions in the readme to find out how to use the default blade color style.
These blades are the Darth Malak length style blades (see pics to see what I mean). I really like the style of the hilt and for my personal use; I converted it as Darth Malak’s lightsaber (also since it has the proper blade length  )
As with any mod that brings new types of lightsabers to the table, an upcrystals.2da file is required to make it work. The good news is it’s compatible with many different types of popular lightsaber mods out there. As for the author’s recent mods that have been uploaded here...
Revan's Items
http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/Revans_Items;66228
Revan’s Long Saber
http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/Revans_Long_Saber;66308
Long Saber Crystal Pack
http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/Long_Saber_Crystal_Pack;66249
It’s best to use the upcrystals.2da file that this mod provides to make them all compatible with each other if you plan on using them all. These new hilts also bring some new stats to enhance them (find out more in the readme). Enjoy these new hilts! 
Note: Please leave the author feedback, especially if you download this mod and use it. It really helps encourage the author to make more mods in the future.

Description of Mod:
===================
This mod is my first attempt at modeling. Introducing my Segan Wyndh Lightsaber!
Part of my expanding Segan "series", this lightsaber was by far one of the hardest things I've done. I can't thank the guys & gals over at Holowan Laboratories enough for all of their support & feedback. Thanks everyone, this wouldn't have been possible without you!
To show my thanks, I've also included "Alternate" Color Styles! If you're not very fond of my Revan Style blades (zig-zag hollow look), you can drag-n-drop these files instead to install the standard game colors. These colors also have their own crystal icon, so if you're feeling froggy...you can mix-n-match the styles (however you can't have all of both styles).
ie - zig zag blue/solid green/zig-zag yellow, etc. but NOT solid red/zig-zag red
Color Chart Values:
30 = Blue / 31 = Green / 32 = HotG / 33 = MotF
34 = Red / 35 = Violet / 36 = Yellow
In addition, I've included Master "Hilt Skin" files, both in a layered Photoshop (psd) format & a Layered Tiff (.tif) file. So if you don't like my hilt skin, feel free to create your own! :)
Though cheats are very convenient, trust me when I say it would be worth your efforts to get them "naturally". When you visit Manaan, talk to the "Shady" Rodian in the East Central Area. Depending on what you've accomplished on Manaan, certain dialogue options will come available, and a 'favor' will be asked...
I will say it involves the Swoop Races, so if you're not too thrilled I strongly suggest visiting Darth333's site and downloading her Easy Swoop Racing mod. You can get it at either of these links:
http://www.geocities.com/d333mods/index.html
http://www.pcgamemods.com/5287
Though I would suggest talking to him BEFORE going to the swoop races. It's not necessary, but the dialogue will make much more sense.
Item History:
-------------
Never quite willing to 'conform' to the Jedi's traditionalist ways, Segan Wyndh, a gifted engineer, was always looking to improve upon the Jedi's antiquated "tools". Though his armor was a marvel in design, he prided himself with his lightsaber technology.
Unique in construction & functionality, this lightsaber utilizes a crystal 'cartridge' system. Harnessing the beams of both natural and a special man-made fusing crystal, Segan was able to produce a beam with powerful effects.
Chastised by his peers and often 'warned' by the Council of his non-standard ways, Segan set off on his own after the Exar Kun Wars.
Perhaps influenced by the Dark Side, or clouded by his own feelings of disgust & disdain, Segan's whereabouts became a mystery, along with his engineering marvels.
It was rumored Segan was last seen on Taris, though reports were never confirmed...
Crystal Cartridge:
------------------
Known for his ingenuity and non-standard Jedi "form", Segan Wyndh developed this special cartridge. Roughly an emitter within an emitter, this cartridge houses a special man-made 'fusing' crystal. When natural crystals are placed in it's adjoining chambers, their beams are channeled through this fusing chamber. The combined beams, when channeled through the saber's unique emitter array, has varied but often more powerful effects.
The construction of the focusing crystal and it's cartridge technology have been all but lost since Segan's untimely demise. Though rumors have spread similiar technologies have been utilized by the Sith Lord, Darth Revan himself...

+2 Attack

=====================
Installation:
Just extract all files within the "For Override" folder into your Kotor override directory.**
You can substitute the icons, colors and styles by dragging the appropriate color & icon files from the "Standard Color Styles" folder into your override directory. (see color chart above).
** IMPORTANT, this mod utilizes an "upcrystals.2da" file. If you are using another mod that uses this file, DO NOT overwrite it with this one included! Some editing of your existing "upcrystals.2da" will be involved. HOWEVER, I've tried very hard to make mine compatible with popular saber mods. Below is a list of mods that my included "upcrystals.2da" will work with (safe to overwrite):
compatible saber mods:
-ChAiNz.2da's Longsaber Crystal Pack mod
-ChAiNz.2da's Revan's Items mod
-ChAiNz.2da's Revan's Longsaber mod
-T7's Lightsaber 6 Pack mod
-T7's Qui-Gon Lightsaber mod
-Seprithro's Weapon Pack mod
-RedHawke's Revan/Sith/Bastila Item Pack mod
-RedHawke's Revan The White/StarForge/Booster Pack1 mod
-RedHawke's & Maverick187's Lightsaber Pack mod
-Maverick187's Blade of Balance mod
-Maverick187's White Double-bladed Saber mod
=====================================
Usage:
Though I've already stated it's "worth" getting it naturally, here's the cheat codes for those not interested ;)
1- with cheats enabled, type "~" (without quotes) and enter:
For the Saber w/crystal:
-----------------------
giveitem sws_blue
giveitem sws_green

Posts: 77 | OMG. This is awesome! These look like the Long Sabers from USM. I hope it is. BTW Chainz I downloaded your Revan's Long Saber and I like the Malak model but what should I edit to make the blade the same length as the other normal sabers? |

Posts: 69 | Hey JediExile,
yup, these are the exact sabers I used in my part of the USM Funny enough, for some reason, these sabers look tons better in KotOR than they did in TSL .. who knows, I think it's the mesh shaders TSL uses to make stuff look desaturated.. anywho...
For the regular length blades on the Revan's Longsaber..
Long Answer: It would take an entire re-model unfortunately. The Malak's model is nothing but an extra long saber blade on the game's short saber hilt. I don't know if anyone has attempted to place a normal blade on the short saber hilt to be honest, since animations on blade meshes are next to impossible at the moment.
You would need to actually go in an re-model an unique hilt that resembles the game's short saber model. Too much trouble for a semi crappy model (IMO) when there are much better hilts out there to choose from... hehehe. This was maybe my 3rd mod? Way before I started to model. However makes me think I should go back to these and make them unique
The Short Answer: There's a regular length blade in my Revan's Items Mod, though it uses the game standard hilt model (but regular blade length)... |

Posts: 77 | Damn there is no way to make it oh well. Anyway two questions:
First whats the progress on USM for K1?
Second will you submit that Malak skin here? I was just about to download it and PCgamemods got down. |

Posts: 69 | 1) USM for K1 is T7nowhere's solo project so I couldn't tell you. The stuff that he does have is gorgeous and well, T7 releases pure gold everytime he mods.. so no matter how long it takes, I'm absolutely positive it will be worth the wait...
2) The Malak skin is actually svösh's Mech Malak Mod. Can we post links to modder's personal sites? It's the only placeI know of that has it... |

The link to Svosh's site is in your Bastila's Revelation Robe mod readme.

That's actually pretty easy for you to do yourself. I'll tell you how to do it.
This mod's red lightsabers model files are...
w_lghtsbr_034.mdl
w_lghtsbr_034.mdx
Change the name of those files to...
w_lghtsbr_006.mdl
w_lghtsbr_006.mdx
...and you now have Malak's lightsaber hilt styled off of this mod. |

Posts: 69 | Sorry, but my files will remain in .rar format. You can use either WinRar or 7-zip to unarchive the file. It's no harder to use than WinZip but both programs are MUCH better at compression rates.
Because I host my mods on other sites (as well as my personal one), the smallest file size I can get is priority. Bandwidth costs too much and I'm cheap .. hehehe

Posts: 2 | Ok I just downloaded this mod,played through the game to the point where I can buy them,and bought the mantle of the force version of that crystal cartrige.however,I cant equip it,upgrade it,or use it as an upgrade.At first I thought maybe that color hadnt been fully installed on my computer,but after trying with violet and green too it still continued to not work.Am I doing something wrong,or is this a problem with the mod? |
