Lightsaber Forms by deathdisco

Uploaded by permission of the author.

 

"What many users loved about Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords was the ability to check lightsaber forms for certain types of situations, especially duels that were going to either be somewhat of a challenge or very challenging to help get an extra advantage. This was one of the many great new features Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords had to offer.

 

What I think is great is when modders find ways to give those types of great features into the first Knights of the Old Republic game. Deathdisco is back. He�s the author who brought us the hit mod Coruscant - The Jedi Temple for Knights of the Old Republic II: This Sith Lords is back with this fabulous mod for Knights of the Old Republic. In fact, it was a year ago today that his Coruscant mod went up on this site. This mod that he gave us used to be on PCGM and we're glad he finally decided to upload it here.

 

There will be seven forms you can use during game play now. Those are listed in the readme and what types of bonuses you get from them. To use them in the game, the author made them into armbands and those have the different bonuses that those forms gave you in TSL. Some of them require certain feats to use them. Information how to get them and is in the readme file also. It's really self explanatory and there is a screenshot to give you a visual on how to get them on the Ebon Hawk after you get the first one after constructing your lightsaber. Enjoy the mod!

(Original KotORFiles review)

 

This mod introduces Lightsaber forms for Knights of the Old Republic.

I have created armbands to represent the seven different Lightsaber forms.

 

Armbands presented the most feasible way to be able to switch between forms.

Unfortunately there are limitations to using armbands ie: you can't increase

or decrease damage (since it's not a weapon), or add a negative value to an attack

modifier. To compensate I did things like edit the strength attribute to adjust damage(+/-)

as a workaround.

The Determination Form, also known as Shii-Cho

or Form I, is the basic style taught to beginners.

How to

 

On Dantooine, after completing the dialog with Master Zhar, the one that gives you the

quest to complete the Jedi trials (right after you build your Lightsaber) check your inventory.

You will have received the Form I armband and a Jedi Holocron that will instruct you in the

other Lightsaber forms.

 

On the Ebon Hawk is a new computer in the main hold of the ship (the holo projector in

the center of the ship is now accessible). You can use the computer to access the Holocron.

 

Forms are learned at certain levels:

Form VI - Level 10

Form III - Level 11

Form IV - Level 12

Form V - Level 13

Form II - Level 14

Form VII - Level 16 (Jedi Guardians Only)

 

This mod is intended for the Main PC only. You may equip unused armbands on your Jedi NPC's

if you like or you can use the cheat console to add more armbands to your inventory for your

NPC's to use.

 

The codes for the armbands are:
