About This File
One day in 2025, @Crimson Knight, famed creator of Ixgil the Bith, rocked the KOTOR community when he released a mod changing the color of Darth Traya's floating lightsabers to red, and also doing some other stuff to them.
Today, I similarly rock the community by changing them back to purple, and doing even more stuff to them.
*technically speaking I used the vanilla .utc files as a base, so they were never purple to begin with. It was all a dream
What Crimson Knight did:
Gave all three lightsabers immunity to fear, paralysis and stun
Changed all three lightsaber colors to red
What I did:
Gave all three lightsabers immunity to fear, paralysis and stun
Gave all three lightsabers Force Jump before Crimson Knight got the chance to (haha i'm faster)
Removed redundant feats for armor and weapons that the lightsabers don't use
Looked at the purple lightsabers and thought "yeah that seems about right"
What could still be done to these damn lightsabers:
At first, I wanted to do a little bit more to the lightsabers than just add Force Jump, but missing animations screwed me over. Force Jump is technically missing its animations, but I think it looks good enough to ship. The other two things I wanted to do was, first, give one of each lightsaber master level Power Attack, Flurry, and Critical Strike, but the animations don't exist for them on the floating lightsabers. Similarly, I wanted to make a variant where instead of three purple lightsabers, its the three council members' lightsabers, but the floating lightsaber NPCs also don't have animations for dual wielding or saberstaff. If those issues could be ameliorated, then I think we'd finally be able to put this floating lightsaber saga behind us. I'm not doing that though lmao
Installation:
slam dunk the provided utc files into your override folder
Credits:
If it wasn't clear enough already, credit goes to Crimson Knight for being the first to give the lightsabers their immunities in Red Floating Lightsabers.
Credit goes to @Snigaroo for suggesting to give the lightsabers Force Jump.
Special thanks to @SAO1138 for pushing me to actually get into modding, even if this first one is tiny and derivative.
