Hello! I officially started on this, so I thought I should post progress in the official WIP channel as opposed to the general help one. This is my first attempt at making a mod, so any advice or callouts would be greatly appreciated. The outline is to bring a version of TSL’s richer companion interactions to K1. I am a big believer that story and gameplay should effect each other as much as possible, in TSL that is fulfilled by lots of real benefits for engaging with party members. The Exile has a huge effect on their companions, which makes sense given the plot. The same should be true for K1...but the features just aren't there. The bones for what we see in TSL exists as the upgrade system for HK-47, so that is the foundation I am building this mod on. The mod would give buffs to party members for finishing their sidequests. It would do this by leveling them up and equipping custom “hide” items to their hidden inventory slot when you finish their relevant quest. The goal is to boost the weaker non-jedi characters, while providing some incentive/satisfaction for pursuing their each character's individual storylines. I have the following basics mapped out: Kotortool + K-GFF Editor - Create new .uti files for the items containing the buffs. Kotortool + Kotor Scripting Tool - Create a script that equips the item in the “hide” slot (or replace an item already there) DLG_Editor - Attach the script to the dialog event associated with completing the relevant quest DLG_Editor - Change/add text to the last dialog entry associated with that quest to explain to players the nature of the boost [ala HK-47’s repair boosts] The relevant characters and quests are: Carth → Finding Dustil Mission → Mission’s brother Canderous → Jagi’s Challenge Zaalbar → Chieftain in Need Juhani → Threat from Xor Jolee → After Final Dialogue HK-47 → Finishing repairs T3-M4 → Finishing a custom dialog The bonuses would include leveling the character to make them equal to the player as well as the following: Progress: Released version 1.0!

Rece's K1 Lightsaber Mod (UPDATED+ADDON) View File READ THIS FIRST!!!!!! WARNING, IF YOU HAVE THESE FILES IN YOUR OVERRIDE FROM THE FIRST VERSION OF THE MOD, THEN REMOVE THEM FROM THE OVERRIDE!!!! m14ac.git m14ae.git m18aa.git m18ab.git m18ac.git m20aa.git m24aa.git m25aa.git m27aa.git m35aa.git m36aa.git m37aa.git m38aa.git m38ab.git m39aa.git m41ac.git m42aa.git m44ab.git m45aa.git PART 1 (PART 2 IS WAY DOWN BELOW, MAKE SURE YOU READ THAT TOO!!!!} Hey there everyone! This is my first lightsaber mod that I've made, so go easy on me alright? This mod adds in plenty of lightsabers to the game to keep you satisfied, all customized as well as upgradeable. Every crystal except for one includes all three variations of the lightsabers (Short, normal, and double-bladed) Anyways, this mod includes the following: 8 Solid-colored, awesome looking lightsabers 7 Duel-colored, awesome looking lightsabers (The core and outer glow are different colors) 5 Color changing, amazing animated lightsabers. That might be a bias opinion, but oh well I have randomly placed the lightsabers throughout the game, some are hidden, others are in obvious areas. I wanted to mention however, that there is one lightsaber that is hidden so well, I don't think anyone will be able to find it. Trust me, it's really well hidden, and in an unexpected spot. WARNING (YES, I HAVE TO TYPE IT IN ALL CAPS): THERE IS ONE LIGHTSABER (The very well hidden one) THAT IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE DOUBLE-BLADED FORM!!!! IF YOU TRY TO PUT THE CRYSTAL IN A SHORT OR NORMAL LIGHTSABER, IT WILL GLITCH OUT THE ITEM, AND DISAPPEAR! BE CAREFUL! Installation: Just run the TSLPatcher and let it do its work. Manual: Copy and paste all items into your override, but be careful since there's an upcrsystals.2da, which could severally mess up te lightsabers if you have any other mods. I can't guarantee compatibility. Uninstallation: Remove all of the files from your override, and throw in the backup of the upcrystals.2da into your override. Anyways, while I always prefer people to find the items in-game itself, you can always cheat them in. Here are the codes for every item: Burning White: g_w_lghtsbr50 g_w_shortsbr50 g_w_dblsbr050 g_w_sbrcrstl50 Alizarin: g_w_lghtsbr51 g_w_shortsbr51 g_w_dblsbr051 g_w_sbrcrstl51 Brandeis: g_w_lghtsbr52 g_w_shortsbr52 g_w_dblsbr052 g_w_sbrcrstl52 Fuchsia: g_w_lghtsbr53 g_w_shortsbr53 g_w_dblsbr053 g_w_sbrcrstl53 Sapphire: g_w_lghtsbr54 g_w_shortsbr54 g_w_dblsbr054 g_w_sbrcrstl54 Dartmouth g_w_lghtsbr55 g_w_shortsbr55 g_w_dblsbr055 g_w_sbrcrstl55 Cadmium: g_w_lghtsbr56 g_w_shortsbr56 g_w_dblsbr056 g_w_sbrcrstl56 Alloy: g_w_lghtsbr57 g_w_shortsbr57 g_w_dblsbr057 g_w_sbrcrstl57 Catalyst: g_w_lghtsbr58 g_w_shortsbr58 g_w_dblsbr058 g_w_sbrcrstl58 Red Lightning: g_w_lghtsbr59 g_w_shortsbr59 g_w_dblsbr059 g_w_sbrcrstl59 Paragon: g_w_lghtsbr60 g_w_shortsbr60 g_w_dblsbr060 g_w_sbrcrstl60 Ichor: g_w_lghtsbr61 g_w_shortsbr61 g_w_dblsbr061 g_w_sbrcrstl61 Arcanum: g_w_lghtsbr62 g_w_shortsbr62 g_w_dblsbr062 g_w_sbrcrstl62 Kairos: g_w_lghtsbr63 g_w_shortsbr63 g_w_dblsbr063 g_w_sbrcrstl63 Lovat: g_w_lghtsbr64 g_w_shortsbr64 g_w_dblsbr064 g_w_sbrcrstl64 Malachite: g_w_lghtsbr65 g_w_shortsbr65 g_w_dblsbr065 g_w_sbrcrstl65 Gamboge: g_w_lghtsbr66 g_w_shortsbr66 g_w_dblsbr066 g_w_sbrcrstl66 Amethyst: g_w_lghtsbr67 g_w_shortsbr67 g_w_dblsbr067 g_w_sbrcrstl67 Xanadu: g_w_lghtsbr68 g_w_shortsbr68 g_w_dblsbr068 g_w_sbrcrstl68 Then there's the secret one that I'm not giving the codes for. Remember, don't use that one in a lightsaber other than a double-bladed!!!! Btw, in case you do find it, it's called: "Ultimatum" and it's pretty funky/weird… I hope you guys enjoy this mod! Leave suggestions for me either by PM on DS, LF, YouTube, or on my WIP thread on DS!!! Youtube=RealRece Star Wars Gaming Credits: Fair Strides for helping me a lot like always, and making the TSLPatcher (I actually ended up making it, but he helped guide me through making it). Thanks to all of my fans out there who said some great things about this mod while I was working on it, and for encouraging me to continue it. Also for making suggestions for several lightsabers too! PART 2 This is part two of the readme, so whatever I guess. I'll make this one shorter. Anyways, the second mod of this mod adds in 20 new power crystals to the game. (The ones that actually give the lightsabers stats!!!) I really hope you guys understand how tedious the 1,800 tests were. Yes, 1,800 tests. Now, I know that's noter like what Hassat Hunter had to do for TSLRCM, but that's still a lot in my opinion. Anyways, I included the saber crystals to different areas of the game. You will find one power crystal with one of the other lightsabers, so that's a bonus. Can you get lucky and find the really good ones??? We'll see While I prefer you to actually find the crystals in-game, you can always cheat them in… Here are the codes for the crystals: (I'm too lazy to list the names and the codes, so I'm only listing the codes…) g_w_sbrcrstl01 g_w_sbrcrstl02 g_w_sbrcrstl11 g_w_sbrcrstl12 rececrstl71 rececrstl72 rececrstl73 rececrstl74 rececrstl75 rececrstl76 rececrstl78 rececrstl80 rececrstl81 rececrstl82 rececrstl83 rececrstl84 rececrstl85 rececrstl86 rececrstl88 rececrstl89 Hope you all enjoy this mod!!!! Special Thanks: Thank you to all of my supporters out there who really were excited to see this mod come out. I spent a lot of time working and testing out these crystals and sabers. Again, 1,800 minimum tests. And thanks to Varsity Puppet and Darth InSidious for help on trying to fix a problem that i was having. Thanks to Fair Strides again for helping like always, and finding the problem. Thanks to him, I was able to come up with a fix of the problem, although it isn't very pretty.
