📋 About This Mod

eNNyZYSZM0w

This mod adds the classic lightsaber sound effects to the Ringed Knight Straight Sword's weapon art, idling, swinging, all but impact sounds, sadly. To replace those would be to replace all impact sounds for basically all kinds of damage.

However, as a result of replacing those sounds, I discovered something. The other Ringed Knight weapons, the Spear and Paired Greatswords, share those sound effects the Straight Sword uses. You will find that using the Spear's and the Paired Greatsword's weapon arts will produce lightsaber sound effects. This is unintentional, but unavoidable due to how the game is made.

Another small side-effect, is the mob enemy Ringed Knights also use these same sounds so they too will be making lightsaber sounds with their weapons.

To install, you must use U3M to extract the game files from the encrypted archives and modify the game's .exe to force it to load those extracted files.
