Virtue, for the "Lightsaber crafting 101" tut at "http://www.thejediacademy.net/~virtue/tutorials/hilts/saber_tutorial.html"
Inyri Forge, for help on shaders
"http://stonewashed.net/sfx.html" for sourcing flame sounds

INSTALLATION:
STEP 1: Ensure the original Dragonsclaw hilt pack is NOT in your JA base directory, and copy "dragonclawV2_pak1.pk3" to your base folder. This will not do anything on its own, so read step two carefully;
STEP 2: IMPORTANT: you must only copy one of the remaining pk3 files, heres the difference:
Option 1: copy "dragonclaw_pak2_BASIC.pk3" into your JA base folder. This will install the hilts, using default sounds and saber blades.
Option 2: copy "dragonclaw_pak2_EXTRA.pk3" into your JA base folder. This will install the hilts, as well as custom flame sounds and flame blades.
MAKE SURE YOU ONLY COPY ONE OF THE ABOVE TWO FILES INTO YOUR BASE FOLDER!


DESCRIPTION: version 2 of my first mod, only this time its as good as i hoped it would be originally, shader and all! plus some other things i did while mucking around, learning to mod... :)
This was modelled in Gmax, and textured in Photoshop. Sounds were edited with Audacity. Notepad and shaderEd were used for the shaders

BUGS: None known, please email me if you find any!

COMMENTS: for the record i did attempt to make a dual blade style dragonclaw, but it came to way to many vertices for the engine to handle. it would have been a huge job to lower the detail enough, and then redo the UVW mapping. For those with experience mapping UVws, just try and imagine mapping a circular snake wrapped around a hilt using gmax. i did it once, and will never do it again. but then maybe i did it the hard way... i need more practice :P
