Poison weapons and upgrades 1.0.0

"Poison weapons and upgrades" mod for Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords

VERSION: 1.0
RELEASE DATE: October 11, 2021
AUTHOR: LoneWanderer

---------------------

1.Description
---------------------
Adds 3 poison weapons (2 with new models) and 6 melee upgrades with custom icons.

KOTOR I had several poisoned weapons, which were quite fun to use, but in TSL poison damage type was limited to mostly useless or rarely used grenades, mines and droid special weapons. The goal of this mod is to make gameplay more varied and interesting by adding new obtainable poison weapons and upgrades.

Weapons:
Naga Sadow's Poison Blade - inside Korriban's Academy
Poison Short Sword - can be bought from Samhan Dobo on Telos
Sith Poison Double-Bladed Spear - from Dark Jedi Apprentice inside Freedon Nadd's tomb

Upgrades (can be created using a workbench):
Mild Poisonious Edge - Poison, Mild Damage DC 15 (requres skill: Stealth 6)
Average Poisonious Edge - Poison, Average Damage DC 25 (requres skill: Stealth 14)
Severe Poisonious Edge - Poison, Virulent Damage DC 30 (requres skill: Stealth 22)
Deadly Poisonious Edge - Poison, Deadly Damage DC 50 (requres skill: Stealth 32)

Average Weakening Edge - Poison, Average Weakness DC 20 (requres skill: Awareness 10)
Deadly Weakening Edge - Poison, Deadly Weakness DC 40 (requres skill: Awareness 28)

Since level cap was raised from 20 to 50 in TSL and autobalance system increases the level of enemies to match the level of Main Character, this means that in the latter half of the game most enemies will have very high resistance to poison, which makes it ineffective. To counter this imbalance, 2 additional levels of poison damage were added: Deadly Damage and Deadly Weakness. Also, to increase the chance of poisoning enemies, you can try lowering their Fortitude using, for example, Force Scream.

As a bonus Poison Short Sword and Sith Poison Double-Bladed Spear have new models (see License information in section 6.Credits). The correct shadow models were kindly created by DarthParametric.

Delete installed files of the mod from Override folder. Copy the files (except dialog.tlk) within the generated "backup" folder and place them in the Override folder, place dialog.tlk in your TSL folder.

If you installed other mods after this one that modify dialog.tlk, iprp_onhitdc.2da, itemcreate.2da, itemcreatemira.2da, poison.2da, upgrade.2da, then you should uninstall those mods first.

New weapons use model variation 20 of short sword and double-bladed sword. New upgrades use item icon slots ip_pltuseitm_113 - ip_pltuseitm_118. If items from other mods use these model variations or slots, then they will overwrite each other appearance.
