The Ultimate Saber Mod (USM)

First and foremost, this mod is NOT compatible with TSLRCM. Repeat NOT compatible.

If you are using, or interested in using TSLRCM (which I HIGHLY suggest).. this mod is not for you. Trust me, it will cause much headache and heartache if you try running both mods ;)

About USM: The main focus of this mod is the 36 New lightsaber hilt models, which have been integrated into TSL. The majority of the lightsaber models also come in 5 color variants. Due to the number of New unique lightsaber models we could not make them be useable in all the colors that the normal game sabers have, but the base colors are available and several of the lightsabers have new unique colors.

It should be noted this mod is not intended to give you the player a lightsaber from the start of the game, but instead to enhance what is already there. The player will have the choice of building one of the several new hilts as part of the Lightsaber quest, this is of course on the condition that you have one of the new Color crystals already in your inventory. Don't worry they will be available by the time you have all the lightsaber parts to build your first saber. The lightsaber crystals are integrated into the random loot generation. You will also be able to find fully built Lightsabers at certain areas of the game. Additionally after the LS quest is complete Bao-Dur will be able to build the New USM lightsabers provided you have 1 usm crystal, 1 default game hilt and 900 credits for parts.

The NPC's that are trainable as Jedi will also build their own lightsabers after the initial training. Additionally Kreia will join your part with her own custom lightsaber and Visas will Build a new one after you destroy hers.

All of the important Jedi and Sith NPC's In the game will also be sporting there new Lightsaber hilts. Among those are: Master Kavar, Master Vash, Master Vrook, Master Zez-Kai Ell, Atris, Darth Sion, and Darth Nihilus. Additional: Darth Nihilus has also been Pumped Up and he now has a few new tricks up his sleeves.

There are also a few new nice surprises to be found ;)

Due to the way lightsabers work in TSL you will not be able to use the USM crystals in  the same manner that you could with the normal Color crystals. So you will not be able to use Double bladed lightsaber crystal in a normal single or short sabers. Think of them like a key to unlocking the new hilt models. If you do place a USM crystal in the wrong Lightsaber type it will turn into what looks like a grenade, So simply hit the cancel button and not the assemble button to return your lightsaber to normal.   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Positive side effect: As a side effect of making this mod a few game bugs were discovered and have been fixed. Most of them are minor.

• Entering the Hidden Jedi enclave on Telos: When entering Handmaiden will tell you to
• "Lay down your weapons and you shall not be harmed." If you choose the LS reply option
• "All right - we mean no harm." then it would end the dialog and the story would be dead.
• You can now choose this reply and the story will proceed to the next plot point in the game.

• Bao-Durs Bad dream about Malachor V, One reply option would end the dialog prematurely.
• The Reply is now linked to the proper entry.

-Disciples intro Dialog that happens in the enclaves sub level.
