About This File
I always loved the extra lightsaber colors in TSL and have always wondered if it were possible to add the colors back into K1. I’m sure many of you wondered the same thing, and the answer is a definite “yes.” Five years ago JC released his fantastic Extra Saber Colors for K1 which I used for some time, but unfortunately wasn’t compatible with Crazy34’s new lightsaber blades. I initially didn’t use Crazy34’s new blades, but after trying it I couldn’t uninstall it. The new lightsaber blade system now adds ambient glow to lightsabers as well as fixing a variety of bugs with the models. I requested a compatibility patch for JC’s and Crazy’s mods, but no one fulfilled it so I decided to make a crack at it myself.
I was initially baffled by the new blade system, but with the help of Crazy34’s modder’s resource I was able to figure it out. All I had to do was edit the blade textures and some RGB values in the models. I was very happy with the result. While I was at it I decided to add some additional colors as well.
This mod adds a total of eight new colors to KOTOR: silver, viridian, bronze, magenta, chartreuse, cyan, orange, and indigo. Crazy34’s mod already added the colors from TSL, I just placed the crystals throughout the game. The rest were added by me. The new crystals use recolored variants from TSL. I may add different versions in the future, but I felt these were the most fitting. An optional HD Icons add-on has been included for JackInTheBox’s HD Icons mod. To install, just drop the files from the HD Icons Folder into your Override after the first part of the mod has been installed and overwrite.
The crystals can be found in the following locations:
Bronze:
- On a rag pile in the Sand People Enclave.
- In some rubble on Kashyyyk.
Silver:
- On a dead republic soldier in the Hrakert Station.
- On a corpse in the Shyrack Caves.
Viridian:
- On the dead Mandalorian in the Dantooine crystal cave.
- In the battered footlocker on the Unknown World.
Indigo:
- In Tulak Hord’s sarcophagus.
Magenta:
- In some rubble in the Eastern Dune Sea.
Cyan:
- On Grrwahhr’s corpse on Kashyyyk.
Chartreuse:
- In the bandoleer on the Leviathan.
Orange:
- In the Hall of the Chieftain on Kashyyyk.
All the crystals can also be bought from Mika Dorin on Korriban.
Note the cyan and orange were edited slightly to make them different from Heart of the Guardian and Mantle of the Force. They are different in color but still very similar.
Incompatibilities:
Obviously not compatible with JC’s Extra Saber Colors mod. This mod will also likely not be compatible with mods that add extra hilts to the game. Other than that, no other incompatibilities are known.
Crazy34’s mod is required for this mod to function. Make sure you have the “standard” option installed first.
I do not wish this mod to be edited or redistributed without permission m. If you want to use anything, just ask first (the answer will most likely be yes). I just want to know when my work is being used.
