📋 About This Mod

End product of me figuring out how to do weapon additions with ArchiveXL, this mod adds a lightsaber weapon to the game. (Okay, technically speaking, it's a katana/one-handed club, but: lightsabers!)

You can use this with the PMU katana poses, if you draw your wepaon before switching into photo mode. (fV | mV)

If you'd like to spawn the things around as AMM decorations, they've been a part of my toy prop pack for a while already.

Thanks to The Manual Enhancer for hooking up the one-handed variant and to Apart for giving the weapon a custom icon and making the dismemberment/burn chance happen <3

        … make it make lightsaber noises?

        Not with the current tools, sorry. You'll have to make do the same way as Obi-Wan's actor (reportedly) did and make your own lightsaber noises. But it makes dildo noises, and that's almost as cool, isn't it?

        … change the animation?

        No, I suck at these. If you want to change the animation and would like the mod to support them, feel free to get in touch.

        … make a custom color variant for me?

        Doable, just reach out :) But you can do it yourself. Unbundle the mod, then open lighsaber_blade.mesh in Wolvenkit, find the appearance that you want to change in localMaterials -> Materials, open the list Values and change EmissiveColor via color picker. Here's a guide if you feel lost, ctrl+F for localMaterialBuffer :)
