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.
