Lightsaber Forms for KOTOR1

---------------------------
Lightsaber Forms for KOTOR1
---------------------------

This mod introduces Lightsaber forms for Knights of the Old Republic.
I have created armbands to represent the seven different Lightsaber forms. 

Armbands presented the most feasible way to be able to switch between forms.
Unfortunately there are limitations to using armbands ie: you can't increase
or decrease damage (since it's not a weapon), or add a negative value to an attack
modifier. To compensate I did things like edit the strength attribute to adjust damage(+/-)
as a workaround.

Extract all the files in the override folder to your 'Override' directory.

------
How to
------

On Dantooine, after completing the dialog with Master Zhar, the one that gives you the 
quest to complete the Jedi trials (right after you build your Lightsaber) check your inventory.
You will have received the Form I armband and a Jedi Holocron that will instruct you in the
other Lightsaber forms.

On the Ebon Hawk is a new computer in the main hold of the ship (the holo projector in
the center of the ship is now accessible). You can use the computer to access the Holocron.

Forms are learned at certain levels:
Form VI  - Level 10
Form III - Level 11
Form IV  - Level 12
Form V   - Level 13
Form II  - Level 14
Form VII - Level 16 (Jedi Guardians Only)

This mod is intended for the Main PC only. You may equip unused armbands on your Jedi NPC's
if you like or you can use the cheat console to add more armbands to your inventory for your
NPC's to use. 

The codes for the armbands are:

form1
form2
form3
form4
form5
form6
form7

Notes
-----

Any mods that us the "onenter" script for the Ebon Hawk will not be compatible with this one.
To uninstall simply delete the files extracted to your Override directory.
