VP's Hi Poly Tin Cans 1.1

oh, uum, those....rock.

i have much to learn, master.

Don't get me wrong, those hilts are amazing, I commend you for the work - all of those hilts look really good - nothing short of amazing. Totally not knocking your mod at all.

But personally, I like keeping it simple. If there was a way to choose different hilt styles but keep that particular hilt, regardless of color crystals, that would be ideal, but as far as I know, it's not possible.

Nice work, VP! Any chance you might make a custom saber for Kaah?

It depends. I don't want this to turn into basically another crazy lightsaber mod.

I'd first make sabers for Sion and Traya, then the Jedi Masters next. I thought about making specific lightsabers for the party members, but I'd much rather have a variety of hilts to choose from rather than saying "This is Atton's, this is Visas', this is Mira's" etc...

Nice! K1 version in the future?

Was wondering what you use to do your modeling, and how?

i.e 10, 12, 16 sided ngons? or what?

how did u get the top of Nihilus' hilt like that?

awesome job!

Don't remember but it's generally 10 sided for the normal part of the saber. For the exotic looking section of Nihilus' saber I just used a generic tube and scaled the flarksnorzen out of it, as well as using transformation modifiers.

gotcha. thanks..

does this work work this cyan fixe: http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/Xis_Cyan_Silver_Lightsaber_Fix;104865

any chance we can get this for kotor?

Cyan lightsaber is already fixed for this mod so...

Maybe I'll make a Kotor version. We shall see.

I seem to have an unusual problem, Nihilus's sabre hilt looks - transparent , both in his and PC's hands. What could be the problem?

Having the Darth Nihilus' Saber subfolder installed with TSLCRM 1.8 causes bugged animations and a CTD about 4/5 the way in the Visus-Nihilus cutscene. In short: don't install that section if you're using 1.8.

Such a small thing, but it does make a difference. Thanks for sharing!

The cutscene issue is still there with TSLRCM 1.8.4, but it is easily handled and the overall improvement to lightsabers is very nice.

why darth nihilus' saber looks like vibrator?

When I installed the Nihilus saber model, it crashed the game during the Visas and Nihilus cutscene. Is there any fix for this?

Because it's an electronics-equipped cylinder with one end rounded off. And any such cylinder will resemble a vibrator to someone who knows what a vibrator is, unless they're reeeeally good at partitioning their mind.

This is a very neat mod, very well done.

But I would suggest the Double-Bladed Lightsaber needs a do-over, if you feel like messing with this some more. Not that there's anything amiss per se with your higher-def version aside from maybe one missed detail, you did very good work.

Rather, there's something amiss with the hilt design itself. You know how you said you didn't like how people just used movie hilts? Well, aside from the emitter ends the KOTOR double-bladed lightsaber hilt design seems to resemble Darth Maul's TPM lightsaber overmuch. Plus, the multiple activation studs don't really match with how the KOTOR double-bladed sabers work (single crystal powering both blades, no single-blade option). So perhaps it would be better to butt two of your short or single-blade hilts together, move one power stud towards the middle, and delete the other.
