Installation:
-------------
The stormtrooper gear can be installed in by the following steps:

1. Extract all the files into the Override folder in the The Sith Lords directory.  The files will be placed inside their own directory in there.  This allows the armour to be
created during the course of the game, and replaces the Sith troopers with stormtroopers.  Note: a high enough experience level and repair skill are required to create the player items.

2. Using the "giveitem" cheat command (Optional!)
This method will add the armour and helmet to the player character's inventory.
To enable cheats, in your game directory edit swkotor.ini and under [Game Options]
add EnableCheats=1.  Start the game then when playing press ' to bring down the console prompt, which is not visible.

At the console prompt, type "giveitem storm_armour" to add the armour suit to the inventory.  To add the helmet, type "giveitem storm_helmet".  For the blaster, type
"giveitem g_w_blstrrfl065."  These can then be equipped by the player with the appropriate feats from the inventory screen.

Known Issues:
-------------
There are no known issues.  However, the helmet is a little big to accomodate all the
player heads.

If you encounter issues, please report them to the email address [see read-me for contact information].
I will do what I can to correct them.
