CREDITS: None but me, I got he idea from an official Star Wars character.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Place DualPhaseSabers.pk3 into your base folder located in the GameData folder and run JK3 to play. START A NEW GAME! GRAPHICAL ERRORS CAN RESULT FROM LOADING A SAVED GAME THAT WAS MADE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF THE MOD. ALSO IT MIGHT NOT LIKE SURTAIN CUSTOM PLAYER MODELS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

DESCRIPTION: First off I got the idea from the Jedi Academy book Trilogy and the I, Jedi book. A Dual-Phase lightsaber is a lightsaber that has multiple focusing crystals, that when shifted into a different position, double the length of the lightsaber's blade. These sabers do not replace the originals but are additions. The way they work in the game is the same way a double bladed lightsaber works. Normally The blade is it's normal length, while this length you use the fast saber style but are limited to close range because you can't throw it (I did this for balance because you normally don't get the fast style until later in the game). In order to double the blades length press the change saber style key(I recommend binding a mouse button to it because there are a few tricks you can employ by switching from short to long in the middle or at a timed point at a moments notice[read comment for more info]) While the blade is doubled it is in the strong stance and still cant be thrown (I did this for a few reasons, one I gave it strong style because it is longer thus has more range but to balance that I gave it the slowest of the styles, and to balance the fact it IS the strong style I made its so you still can't throw the saber for the same reason as I did with the short blade). To go back to short blade simply change styles again.

BUGS: None I know of.

COMMENTS: The best trick I know of works well on Reborn and other lightsaber wielding force users. The trick is simple. Do a rolling stab using the short blade (forward + crouch + fire) but set it up so you will come up short (almost a full NORMAL saber length short ) then in the middle of the roll change styles so the blade lances out crossing the distance that the short blade wouldn't have managed to. Since you are crouched outside of the melee range of the lightsaber wielding NPC more often then not they won't block it until it has already hit them.
