About This File

This mod modifies the scene on the Harbinger where Kreia leaves the party to face Darth Sion. There are two versions of the mod.

In the Lightsaber option, Kreia will pull out a lightsaber instead of a vibroblade (a green single-bladed lightsaber by default) and will face Sion with that. After he cuts her hand off, the lightsaber is not seen again. If you want her to use a different lightsaber, copy the .uti file of the lightsaber you want, name it lsbkresion.uti and replace the one in the override folder.

In the Long sword option, there will be a Republic Officer corpse near Kreia. Kreia will now pick up a Long sword from the corpse and use it to fight Sion. It could also have been a vibroblade, but I liked the Long sword better. (In this case it is not possible to change the sword, because it is baked in the corpse placeable model. I tried to do it using a character model and an equipped item, but it is impossible to control the creature's death animation if they are dead and it is impossible to make a creature non-selectable when they're not dead and are just using a death animation.)

In addition, both versions of the mod give all of Kreia's weapons to the player as she leaves the party.

The cameras have not been adjusted in any way. I tried to refrain from editing .dlg and .git files to keep this mod compatible with other mods editing this scene. I may address such issues in a future mod.

Installation:
Run TSLPatcher.exe.

Uninstallation:
(1) Use the 153har.mod file in the backup folder to replace the existing one in the Modules folder inside the game folder.
(2) Delete lsbkresion.uti from the override folder (Lightsaber version only).

If you installed mods after this one that affected the 153har.mod, this will undo their changes. To prevent this, you may use ERFedit to manually edit the existing 153har.mod instead of replacing it. Extract the following files from the backup 153har.mod, then add them to the 153har.mod in use:
153har.are (Long Sword version only)
a_sioncut.ncs
a_sioncut2.ncs

Additionally delete the following files (Long Sword version only):
k_153har_enter.ncs
plc_rsldcrps.mdl
plc_rsldcrps.mdx
plc_rsldcrps.pwk
plc_rsldcrpssw.utp

This will remove this mod while preserving changes to any other files in 153har.mod from any other mods.

TSLPatcher version, this way the mod won't break other scenes with Sion in the game. Sorry people!

I rather like the idea of her having a lightsaber actually Bead-V, seems very good storywise, least I thought so, but the other option's a good one storywise too. Kreia's never been one of my favorites, too manipulative and b***y for me, but here you have a wonderful mod, that is very wonderfully done, both from the screen shots, and from the immersive/storytelling idea *offers hot cocoa* :) quick question, will this work with the modified look where her robes take on a more black version?

Just as a thought... but I remember it being said at one point that Kreia owned a double-bladed lightsaber. Would it be possible to make a version of the lightsaber file where she draws a double-bladed weapon as opposed to a single-bladed one?

Yeah, thought about that and tried it too. In the end I opted for a single-bladed lightsaber for the release version, but you can always take the .uti of a double-bladed one, stick it in the override as "lsbkresion.uti" and it will work.

I like the idea of your mod, but unfortunately, the camera recorded Sion scene on the Harbinger (where Sion breaks out of the bacta tank) no longer works with this mod installed. The scene doesn't play and an unmoving Sion and republic soldier are spawned into the room. Once I removed the mod, the scene worked fine again. I used the longsword version, didn't try the saber version.

Thanks for reporting that! It's because those scenes use the same scripts (and so do Sion's scenes at least on Malachor and possibly elsewhere, it would have broken them to). I was supposed to use the TSLPatcher to install them but I wasn't thinking, sorry!

Anyway, this will happen with both versions of the mod. If anyone else is experiencing this, your options are: put the files into the override folder only after Sion's kolto tank scene and remove them after you escape the Harbinger OR remove the files and install v1.1 that will use the TSLPatcher and be up very soon!

EDIT: The mod is updated! Sorry for the inconvenience!

@bead-v? It's good to know its been updated further. As this is a favorite of mine  so far looks like it will play well with Chainz version, and I believe also with:

The idea of her using a lightsaber is a good one again, I for one hope to see more awesome stuff from you :)
