two double bladed lightsabers?

I thought about it but I still don't know if it is possible. Could you give a character two double bladed lightsabers by editing the geometry name section of the odf?

Just replacing the standard lightsaber msh with the double ones in the odf should be possible, the game normally doesn't care if it makes sense or not. If that doesn't work you could replace the actual lightsaber model with the double ones in the msh folder and just calling it the standard lightsaber name. Not very well explained maybe, but I think it can be done.

It is possible indeed, since 4 sabers are allowed.. The only deal is to hex-edit on doublesaber mesh, because every hp_fire (firepoint) must have a different name. So copy cis_weap_doublesaber.msh, call it cis_weap_2nd_doublesaber.msh and in there, hex edit (rename) hp_fire1 to hp_fire3 and hp_fire2 to hp_fire4.. Then setup the odf; the jedi creation doc can help you!

I have used 2 double sabre handles, but the second handle only was able to have 1 blade, I have merged them to make a triple bladed lightsaber before...

I'll do this, see if it's possible and write a possible tut or upload the files ;)

okay I got the hex editing part but I am still not sure if I set up the odf correctly. I did try the jedi creation and it helped a little but I still feel like I am missing something. Here is the odf:

Code: Select all

[WeaponClass]

ClassLabel      = "melee"
ClassParent     = "com_weap_inf_lightsaber"

[Properties]

GeometryName    = "cis_weap_inf_doublesabre"
ComboAnimationBank  = "human_doublesabre sabre cis_hero_darthmaul"

NumDamageEdges      = "4"
FirePointName       = "hp_fire1"
LightSaberLength    = "1.0"
LightSaberWidth     = "0.08"
LightSaberTexture   = "redlightsabre"
LightSaberTrailColor = "255 0 0 128"

FirePointName       = "hp_fire2"
LightSaberLength    = "1.0"
LightSaberWidth     = "0.08"
LightSaberTexture     = "orangelightsabre"
LightSaberTrailColor  = "214 132 42 128"

AttachedFirePoint   = "bone_l_calf 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.35 0.0 0.0"
DamageEdgeLength    = "0.5"
DamageEdgeWidth     = "0.1"

GeometryName        = "cis_weap_inf_2nd_doublesabre"
FirePointName       = "hp_fire3"
LightSaberLength    = "1.0"
LightSaberWidth     = "0.08"
LightSaberTexture    = "orangelightsabre"
LightSaberTrailColor = "214 132 42 128"

FirePointName       = "hp_fire4"
LightSaberLength    = "1.0"
LightSaberWidth     = "0.08"
LightSaberTexture   = "redlightsabre"
LightSaberTrailColor = "255 0 0 128"
