About This File
Thought I already uploaded this here but I forgot so if anyone is interested here you go!
The readme's in the zipped files are outdate. Please refer to the standalone ReadMe file or the below instructions regarding instalaltions.
To install: *Steps 3 and 4 may not be necessary, try running without doing them first, but if the game crashes do steps 3+ 4 and try again.*
1: Drop all files except readme.txt swkotor.ini files and upcrystals.2da into override folder.
2:
A) If you don't an upcrystals.2da file in your override folder, just copy the one provided into your override folder.
If you do already have an upcrystals.2da file in your override folder,
- Insert a new row at the end of the table.
- Copy the last row from the table provided, paste it into the new row you just created.
- Save the file.
*3: In your folder that contains your swkotor.exe (usually named Star Wars - KotOR) locate the file named swkotor.ini and rename it BACKUPswkotor.ini so that you can revert to it later if you desire.
*4: Paste the swkotor.ini file included with this download into that same folder ( Star Wars - KotOR)
--note you can use either included .ini but if using WINDOWEDswkotor.ini rename it to swkotor.ini
They are basically the same but one is set for fullscreen and the other windowed mode.
----
Uninstall:
1) Delete files from override folder.
2) Delete the .ini file you added, and rename the one you re-named as BACKUPswkotor.ini to it's original name.
To get items in game:
1) Enter the cheat menu (~)
2) Type giveitem g_w_lghtsbr45 or giveitem_g_w_dblsbr045 and press enter.

Purpose:
This mod is a prototype WORK IN PROGRESS. It adds a new weapon type, the lightmace (and a 2h version), to the game. I plan to fine tune the hilt textures later.
IF you have any color requests please comment as I can easily make different colors with my script (also available for download).
