Force Lightning Anyone

Installation Note: It has come to my attention that this mod does take a while modifying the dialog.tlk file. It will look like the TSL Installer is not doing anything but if you check the Task Manager it is using the CPU. The TSL Patcher will be slow in modifying the dialog.tlk file so please be patient. The mod is installing, just very slowly. It will also ask you for your spells. 2da file in your override folder after the dialog.tlk file is finished installing. The mod doesn't give you a spells. 2da file so if you need one you can download it from the optional files section of the files tab above. So please be patient and let TSL Patcher install the dialog.tlk file, thanks.

Compatibility:

This mod is compatible with TSLRCM 1. 8. 5: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=485537937

Since a new force power is added with TSL Patcher there should be no compatibility issues.

FORCE LIGHTNING ANYONE (force power)

--------------------------------------------

By Darth333

A while ago, tk gave me the permission to release a TSL version of the darkside choker he made for

Kotor 1 so here it is with a few modifications.

This force power allows you to force lightning anyone in the game except your party members.

I modified tk102's original mod to make a force power which will apppear in the friendly force

power menu (where healing is) instead of using an armband. You can use it at any time and not

only during battle.

The other modifications I brought are:

- reduced area of effect (8m instead of 17m, which should allow you to target a npc with more precision)

- removed the possibility to target droids (maybe I should have added an exception for G0-T0...)

- removed the possibility to target puppets (poor Remote!)

- added the possibility to target some npcs which had the friendly faction but were not party members

- new lightning icon for the force power menu

- The Jedi will now gain a temporary bonus (60 seconds ) to charisma, wisom and intelligence when using this power for the for the first time

on a victim in order to allow him to be more persuasive and occasionally have the possibility to unlock a few additional dialogue options.

Other comments from the original mod:

- The first time you electrocute a specific npc,  it will cause a shock simulation but with no damage (safety measure

to avoid killing npcs by mistake).  Force lightning the npc a second time will start causing damage to the already

shocking victim.

- Darkside Points:  If the user is neutral or good, he/she will receive darkside points when using

this armband to harm someone - no darkside points are given when force shocking a npc for the first time.

=====================================================

Using the force power:

=====================================================

- you will be able to select the force power in the level up menu only if you already have "Shock", which is a level

6 force power.

- Once you have Shock and Level 6, you will be able to select Force Lightning Anyone in the level up screen.

Force Lightning Anyone is not the Regular Force Lightning from the game. It has its own Icon: a red icon with a man getting electrocuted.

- The force power will be available at anytime in your friendly force power menu (same menu as heal).

- Don't go killing everyone in the game: if you kill key npcs, you'll may end up unable to progress in the main quest.

Chose your victims carefully. The script will target the nearrest npc. Use the force...and your head.

=====================================================

INSTALLATION:

=====================================================

This force power is compatible with any other force power mods previously installed.

To install simply double click on Install_ForceLightning.exe and extract to the SWKotOR2 directory.
