Readme from that mod is here(not made by me)
- Enhanced Lightsaber Blades —
— ~A mod by Zio -
- Version 2.2 –
—–
————————————–
!! This mods purpose is simply to create
movie-style lightsabers in SWG. It does
not change gameplay in any way.
UPDATE HISTORY:
UPDATE v2.2: POST-NGE
Edited the color palette for Kenobi’s Legacy and B’Nar’s Sacrifice. The default colors were off to begin with, and were much too dark to be compatible with the mod. Decided to make them fairly light, actually, While keeping their original hues. Now all the special colors, Sunriders, Kenobi’s etc etc, have a specific style to them. They look brighter than normal colors.
UPDATE v2.1: PUBLIC RELEASE
Redid the blades, the glow was too intense on the old ones, some bright colors nearly created the infamous box effect that can be seen in sandstorms. Also softened up the base end, the last version was cut off too sharply. Redid all the colors (Special colors like Sunriders and Banes remain unchanged) to look better and better fit their names. Added flickering to the blades! This brought them to life.
UPDATE v2.0:
Thickened the blade core, the first version was much too thin. Densified the glow so colors show up better now. Also decided to edit the color palette. Orange is actually orange now and the yellows aren’t ugly anymore. I did not edit any of the “special” crystals such as Sunrider’s Destiny. Only the normal color’s have been tweaked. Two color’s I did not change are “Brown” and Dark Purple, as I don’t have those colors on me. However I’m sure purple looks great, and brown shouldn’t have existed in the first place.
Info:
After checking out the other great color mods, I still wasn’t happy with SWG’s default ugly blades. So I decided to make this mod that completely changes the actual blade itself. No more ugly fatended blades like SWG has by default. After extensive editing, it looks great on all colors and hilts. The ’special’ colors such as Sunrider’s Destiny and Banes Heart have not been edited. The normal colors however have been edited.
Keep in mind that this mod is client side only! No one else will be able to see the blades as you do. Also keep in mind that visual mod’s like this are a very grey area when it comes to the terms of service. Some CSR will say its fine, others will say it’s illegal. Technically this mod does not “replace” or “edit” or “change” any of SWG’s files, and it’s purely cosmetic. Most importantly it does not change any “Gameplay”. Therefore it “should” be fine but some CSR will disagree.

Special Thanks to:
~ My psychotic nephews for not letting me settle for SWG’s ugly default sabers
~ Eric for his work on the blade - always perfection at any cost
~ All my guildmates, you guys are the best
~ SOE and LucasArts for bringing us this great game (flame me all you like, I’ll <3 it to the end)

INSTALLATION:
Unzip the zip file into your main SWG directory. You should end up with “texture” and “palette” folders inside your StarWarsGalaxies folder. These contain the image files used for saber blades.
————————————–
Uninstallation:
Simply delete the “texture” and “palette” folders.

ADDITIONAL MODS
Ok the other things included here is a change to the Jedi Knight robes that can be looted in the NGE, They now look like Jedi Consular Robes from the old FRS. Also included, but optional to install, is my own modified textures for the jedi robes, They look more worn and have some battle damage.
ALSO there is the meditate mod(not from me) that lets you use the old meditate animation when you /kneel
AND one more thing, If you have tusken raider boots, they now look like Jedi Consular robes, SO you can wear them under cloaks and such.
ONE more thing, The folder called ui changes your ui to look similar to the CU hud.
Edit* too large to attach, I will see if I can find a place to host it.
