INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

copy the .pk3 to GameData/base of your JA-installation - start a new sp- or mp-game - select one of my sabers - play;
"splisten" and "evenbocht" can be spawned as special-sabers ingame via the console - this is how they are originally intended;


DESCRIPTION:

splisten and evenbocht are supposed to very old sabers made and used by a longforgotten master of the force, not jedi nor sith, who is said to have travelled far beyond the known universe...

... both sabers are able to produce two blades that melt into one with double the power - however, it makes the saber harder to handle and easier to loose;
due to their age and heavy usage they have somehow stored parts of their user's skills - therefor they are reduced to two styles each;

max tries to find a way to get where the mentioned forcemaster went and is joined by two friends who later turn against him (or them 'cause max is actually two people);

these two friends have sabers: omlijsten and knobb ...

omlijsten is a small and handy saber, quick and a bit shorter than others;

knobb is a singlehanded saber originally intended to be used as dualsabers (there where two of it but one got lost); due to its size it can only produce a fairly short blade;


BUGS:

- custom saberon-sounds don't play when the sabers are first spawned;
- special splisten and evenbocht cause trouble on sp-levelchange ...


COMMENTS:

splisten and evenbocht have been published ("max_saber12") but with the two blades they where limited to two fixed styles and did not really work for multiplayer - so i made singleblade-versions for the menu;

alltogether the skins and sounds are 90% done - maybe i'll get to finish them someday but for now they have to do as they are;
