They certainly got the attention they wanted, along with the exact attention they didn't want. I think everyone can agree that it was a bad move to try to go viral with this thing. I think it was probably their intention to build up a fan base, but obviously it got the attention of the big dogs too. Some people are out there to get their ego stroked. Was this the case? Maybe so, but they did come up with quite a few decent looking levels. I agree, I know the swoop racing was nowhere near a finished state, but it was one of the livelier features that they showcased. It was one of the few things that I legitimately thought was a huge improvement over KotOR. Anyone with half a brain can see that it's a new game. You can interpret that as you will in regards to YouTube comments.

If they were smart, they wouldn't have pursued a massive social and fan following until they had completed this and released it to the public. Once it's out there, it's out there, and there's nothing that LucasFilm or Disney can do about that. But they did their best to shine a light on the very thing they didn't want exposed. I initially was not excited about the direction this was taking, but over time I begrudgingly began to respect their efforts. There were parts of the game that were looking quite good, especially the swoop racing. However, the better it got, the worse the chance that Disney was going to shut it down, and they did. It was thinly veiled as a "mod", when almost anyone can recognize that it's a brand new game. The one thing that I really don't appreciate is him trying to categorize it just like a simple mod here. The last thing we need is LucasFilm/Disney poking around here, harmless as we may be.

View File Crossguard Lightsabers A KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC MODIFICATION Crossguard Lightsabers 2.0 By Sithspecter Description: You've probably seen The Force Awakens at this point, and Kylo Ren's unique lightsaber as well. The saber features crossguard blades that serve a defensive purpose as well as venting extra heat. Now, you can play through Knights of the Old Republic wielding crossguard lightsabers as your own! This mod adds crossguard lightsabers complete with animations to Knights of the Old Republic. Each of the regular crossguard lightsabers is completely upgradeable. You also have the choice to install crossguard lightsabers with the default blade textures OR crossguard lightsabers with an animated jagged blade texture. Installation: 1. Copy all the files in the Override folder of this .zip into your Knights of the Old Republic Override folder 2. If you would rather have default blade textures, also copy the files from the Default Blades folder of this .zip into your Override folder 3. If you want to go back to animated blade textures, copy the files from the Animated Blades folder of this .zip into your Override folder Use: Due to the unique way that Knights of the Old Republic handles lightsabers, to make the lightsabers upgradeable this mod adds an emitter item which can be bonded with any of the default lightsaber color crystals in the game. Once you have an emitter and a lightsaber color crystal, talk to T3-M4 who can bond them together to give you the new crystal bonded to the emitter. Simply install the new bonded crystal in a single-bladed regular lightsaber, and you now have a Crossguard Lightsaber! The bonded crystals can also be installed in double-bladed or short lightsabers, however, they will still be the default double-bladed and short bladed lightsabers. If you want to remove a crystal from an emitter, talk to T3 once more and he will separate the two items. You can find crossguard lightsaber items in the following locations: Dantooine: Blue crossguard lightsaber on Nemo's body Kashyyyk: Jolee now comes equipped with a violet crossguard lightsaber Korriban: Sith lightsaber located in Naga Sadow's tomb has been changed to a crossguard lightsaber Tatooine: Emitter in Kraayt Dragon cave Unknown World: Emitter on The One's body Yavin Station: Suvam Tam will sell you 2 emitters Cheats: g_i_crossguard - Emitter which can be bonded with any color crystal in the default game g_w_lghtsbr09 - Blue crossguard lightsaber (upgradeable) g_w_lghtsbr10 - Red crossguard lightsaber (upgradeable) g_w_lghtsbr11 - Green crossguard lightsaber (upgradeable) g_w_lghtsbr12 - Yellow crossguard lightsaber (upgradeable) g_w_lghtsbr13 - Violet crossguard lightsaber (upgradeable) g1_w_lghtsbr03 - Heart of the Guardian crossguard lightsaber (upgradeable) g1_w_lghtsbr04 - Mantle of the Force crossguard lightsaber (upgradeable) INCOMPATIBILITY: DUE TO THE UNIQUE WAY THAT THIS MOD IS SET UP, IT IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH OTHER MODS THAT HAVE A UPCRYSTALS.2DA OR MODIFY UPCRYSTALS.2DA. THIS MEANS THAT MOST LIGHTSABER MODS WILL BE INCOMPATIBLE. IF YOU USE THIS MOD WITH OTHER LIGHTSABER MODS AND HAVE PROBLEMS, UNINSTALL BOTH MODS AND CHOOSE ONE TO RE-INSTALL Bugs: The lightsaber extension bug has been fixed thanks to newly developed tools!

I'm totally including this for when I repackage High Quality Blasters.

That's high praise coming from you! 😀 Thanks for the kind words.

Seeing as how my blasters have come up in several posts, I will try to clarify a few things. The muzzles I kept in a very similar location to the originals. I think the power blast muzzle looks the strangest, as its model does have the most volume and extends back behind the muzzle hook. The regular muzzle flash is right at the tip of the barrel. In addition, many firearms have ported muzzle brakes so that the flash actually does come from porting around the barrel tip. The textures were made grainy and a lower resolution as to blend in with the overall game as best as possible. Higher resolution source files should be in the modder's resource should you need them, with or without the grain as well.
