#Lightsaber Mod! Now with the dreaded claymore!

You know you want it!

DOWNLOAD NOW:

Cheater version:


(Sets build requirements to 1 Steel Ingot)

##UPDATE NEWS:

Added a new saber, inspired by the controversial one to be featured in the upcoming films!
Increased build time for all sabers

Previous update:
I’ve added a new mineable resource, ‘Raw Crystal’ which may be pounded and polished by the blacksmith to give a ‘Crystal Prism’

Crystals are found randomly in rock, and also appear in veins.

I’ve also balanced the weapons such that their attack damage:parry ratio is the same; hopefully this will be fair in practice!

Description:

N.B. this is minimally tested! Sorry if it doesn’t work as intended. Looks pretty, though!

I originally wanted to surprise-post this on tonight’s stream to show the team what we can accomplish through modding, but a) I haven’t tested it much, b) didn’t want to hijack the more important bits (Tom modelling), and c) have a presentation tomorrow morning :cry:

Blacksmith items added:

  1. Red lightsaber (power)
  2. Green lightsaber (balance)
  3. Blue lightsaber (defence)

Each one costs 1 Crystal Prism and 1 Steel Ingot.

Special thanks to:
@honestabelink for his software and tutorials!
@jonzoid for his software! I must have spent 2 hours playing with these particles in your SHED
@Relyss for her help with cubemitter coding!

Doh! I erased the code for that bit last night… I’ll see if I can update tomorrow! It was bringing the game down to a halt, but the real-time shadows were to die for!

Fixed that for you, @Azhrak

Great idea! I’ll try it out later. Also, a new version of SHED is on the horizon that will be a lot more true to the actual renderer. Certain cubemitter properties just didn’t work right.

Also, you need a preview GIF to better capture the lightsaber effect. Try this: https://screentogif.codeplex.com/releases/view/611237

Hmmm gave it a try. Sadly, it didn’t work.

Time for bed, but if anybody can get a .gif of the effect, I won’t mind putting it up tomorrow afternoon!

Fixed that too, thanks, @jonzoid!

@Sanyo201, sure, somebody should at least code brown and black robes with speed buffs! Even better if they could make jedi/sith items work as sets (robe + saber = bigger bonus!)

I also intended to add crystals to mining and make these cost 1 steel, 2 crystal, but I got lazy.

@8BitCrab, maybe just one game… :wink:

@Wiese2007, show us your modelling skills!!!

Yeah… I’m thinking I should make it worth 1 steel and 1 gold - 4 gold is a bit harsh! Maybe I’ll look into adding crystals this weekend

after i reloaded the saber blades dissapeared :disappointed:
