-----------------------------------------------
WHAT IS NEW IN THE FINAL VERSION?
Vexor now has BOT SUPPORT, and let me tell you, his difficulty settings are up all the way. After all, he is now a dark spirit directly linked to the force. You'll find that he does not attack luke npc/bot unless provoked by him to do so. Luke will also turn against you (npc) if he sees you destroy Vexor, a vice-versa. After all, though they do seem to be enemies, they DID once know each other and now have a sort of respect for eachother. Sam is also true for Desann. Vexor will NEVER attack him, even if Desann is all over him attacking him, unless they are only 2 in room(?).
Also, there is now TEAM SUPPORT as well. You will get a brighter red and a deep blue model. Yes, I know one of the arms looks redish on the blue model. Actually, it's more of a purple. Oh well.
_______________________________________________
HE NOW HAS 4 FEATURES ADDED TO HIM!!
***To remove his head, type /MODEL VEXOR_ZETH/2 in the console.
***To show him as desribed at the end of the story, type /MODEL VEXOR_ZETH/3 to remove pieces of his armor and make him appear more ghostly.
***Type /MODEL VEXOR_ZETH/4 to make him completely invisable except for his lightsabers.
***BRAND NEW!! In the list of characters to choose from, you'll notice a second Vexor Zeth Icon. Choose that one, and he becomes "cloaked". He'll become very transparent, and occasionally, an orange "flame" will course over his body. If for some reason you cannot see the icon to do this, you may access the model by typing this in the console: /model vexor_zeth_ghost
________________________________________________
Also, a change you may notice is the readme. The story was moved to a second file to make the space in this file less cluttered. It is advised that you read the story.
AND ONCE MORE I'LL SAY THIS: HE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE NO HANDS!! HE IS MEANT TO BE USED WITH THE BURNING HAND MOD INCLUDED!!
****Coming up in an optional patch will be his hands! I know some of you wish to have them on the model, so I will release a separate pk3 with the hands if you want them.****
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
Installation:
Extract all files to the Gamedata\base folder in your Jedi Academy folder. It is recommended that you use all of the pk3 files to show Vexor Zeth as he is meant to be.
The three files are as follows:
1. Vexor_Zeth.pk3 -
The main file, of course.
2. Flamethrower.pk3 -
"His body now burned with the very fires which destroyed him only a few years ago." And I quote from the author's readme file:
Author: Dark_Maul
Email: Wfuqua@indy.rr.com
What: This mod replaces force lightning with a flamethrower effect and sounds.
End Quote. It replaces the lightning for EVERYONE, but it really looks far better than the lightning. I really recommend using this mod. LOOKS GREAT! Nice job, Dark_Maul!!
3. burning_hand_pack.pk3 -
"Now, instead of hands, he had balls of fire which raged as a reminder of the many Sith he murdered." And I quote from the author's readme file:

File Size : 306 KB
Date Released : 11/18/03
Description : This mod will put an orb of fire around you hands instead of a saber hilt.
Comments : The inspiration for this file comes from many places.
I found myself wanting to create something out of the ordinary.
So take it for what it is.
My mods have only been tested on my machine so I hope they look as good on yours.
Enjoy!
Build time : 8 hours
End Quote. You get to choose between red, yellow, orange, blue (like Vexor Zeth, plus it goes very well with the flamethrower mod), teal, and purple. Doesn't replace anything. You choose it as you would any other saber handle. THANKS, {THC}ShovelHead!!
WITH THE USE OF ALL 3 RECOMMEDED MODS AND SETTINGS, YOU ACHEIVE THE LOOK OF A DARK SITH BOUNTY HUNTER WITH BLUE GLOWING BALLS OF FIRE FOR HANDS, TWO ORANGE LIGHTSABERS, AND THE ABILITY TO SHOOT FIRE. YOU ACHEIVE THE LOOK OF VEXOR ZETH.
HAVE FUN!!!
****Only real glitch is that if you, by example, use cheats to get the jetpack in multiplayer, you'll see the origional jetpack "flash" through the jetpack on this model occasionally. Oh well.****

STORY:
--------------------------------
"Only two there are, a master and an apprentice." This idea was forged by the great Sith Lord Darth Bane as a
way to stop another Sith war from occurring. He meant it.
Between the events of Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, there secretly existed a Sith Master by the name of Darth
Korzoth and his apprentice, Darth Nimrod. The two stayed and trained on a remote planet in the outer-rim, far from the
growing New Republic. Darth Korzoth was tired of the old ways and felt that he was able to control more Sith than the
age old rule required.
Elsewhere, two Jedi students fled the planet of Yavin, for they could not deal with Luke Skywalker's slow approach
to the ways of the Force. They left with several holocrons containing information on the Sith. For years they had been
curious as to the "fast and easy way" to power, and they heard the tales of the Sith and their glory days. Upon reviewing
the poisionous information, they both reached the realization that Jedi such as Luke were using their ways as a way to
control their students. That was something they did not want. They began to argue as to who was to become the greatest,
and in the confusion that followed, one of the formor Jedi, a once very promising student, Kelzek, murdered his friend,
and so his path to the Dark Side began.
Meanwhile, Darth Korzoth felt a tremor in the force and sent his apprentice to investigate.
Alone and without any money, Kelzek took up the profession of being a bounty hunter to make his way. He wore dark
Mandalorian armor, which he recreated himself through looking at old documents concerning the Mandalorians. The dark colors of the armor were a warning as to what was behind the mask, a Dark Jedi. Kelzek became known throughout the galaxy as Vexor Zeth and using his force powers, he was unstopable. Throughout his hunting career, he could not shake the feeling that he was being watched. As time passed and he learned more and more about the Sith, he too planned to one day resurrect the once glorious Sith Empire. But the hunter became the hunted and he met Darth Nimrod, who tried to bring him to Korzoth. Astounded that there were already Sith in existence, Vexor resisted and attacked Nimrod in a fierce fury. After a long struggle, Vexor won the fight, but at the cost of loosing his hands. Like what most bounty hunters do after a kill, Vexor took a suvenior, both of Nimrod's sleek lightsabers, that when activated, emitted a bright orange blade.
With the loss of his hands, being a bounty hunter was found to be a more challenging task. He still dreamed of
being a great Sith Master as he continued to be consumed by darkness. With the help of the Dark Side of the Force, he
found that he was still capeable of capturing his bounties. Over time, he learned from the holocrons how to attach himself
to an item, so that if he was ever defeated, his essence can still exist, the same trick Emperor Palpatine used years ago
to stay alive long after his supposed death on the second Death Star. Deciding to give it a shot, he went through the long
ritual and attached himself through the force to the front plate of his armor. As long as it was not completely destroyed, he would exist indefinately.
Years passed, and one day, he received an invitation to meet a mysterious person who called himself Korzoth.
He followed the directions laid out for him in the letter and found himself deep in the outer-rim. A couple of modified
tie-fighters escorted him to the ruins of a race lost thousands of years ago. He finally met Darth Korzoth, but to his
surprize, he saw that the evil Sith Master had over 20 Sith students. Vexor was well aware of Sith history and found
Korzoth a great threat to his plans and to the galaxy. Korzoth told him that he was impressed as to how powerful he was
in the force that he could continue to capture bounties with no hands and offered Vexor the opportunity to train under him. Vexor said he'd think about it and so he spent some time at the ruins, observing the large amount of Sith with great astonishment and hatred.
One night, Vexor snuck around the ruins, placing thermal detonators in various places with the intent of ridding
the galaxy of the abomination to the greatest of all Sith laws. Before he could escape the ruins, he was found out by
none other than Darth Korzoth. Vexor was no match for the superior Master of the Force and was defeated. But with his
last effort, he set off the detonators and destroyed every last Sith apprentice. And so, Vexor Zeth died.
Unfortunately, Darth Korzoth escaped and began rebuilding what was destroyed. But what he did not realize was
there was a certain item which was not destroyed in the blast, the front plate of the mandalorian armor of Vexor Zeth.
Vexor found himself floating in the balance between existance and death. His Spirit was spread thought the realm of
life and he was too weak to pull himself together. As the years passed, he helplessly watched as Korzoth trained more and
more Sith Apprentices. After what seem like a thousand life times, Vexor came in contact with the spirit of his hero,
Darth Bane. The once great Sith Lord, angered by the ways of the rogued Sith, helped Vexor regain his true form and so the
Dark Jedi Bounty Hunter returned from the dead, and reclaimed the parts of his armor that still existed. His body now
burned with the very fires which destroyed him only a few years ago. Now, instead of hands, he had balls of fire which
raged as a reminder of the many Sith he murdered. He was able to produce two lighsabers from the fire that was now infused
with his body, with orange flames in the center of them which now burned eternally. He then resumed his mission of
destroying the insane Korzoth before the Sith destroyed themselves for the last time.
Being already dead and finding the students so lacking in the focus they needed, Vexor Zith found it easy
to erradicate the few Sith students that Korzoth managed to take on. He then confronted Darth Korzoth, and cought
the Sith by surprize, putting an end to his evil. Finding his task complete, Vexor Zeth wished to follow the ways of
the Sith and take on an apprentice. After much searching, an idea from the past arose. Vexor Zeth turned his attention to
the tiny planet of Yavin, to Luke Skywalkers students at the JEDI ACADEMY......
