Ghostsabers

Simply place the .pk3 file into the Gamedata/base directory where you installed Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.

Story: Years ago, an ancient Sith Lord named Darth Bane began to practice the Dark Arts, a form of Sith magic, in an attempt to steel himself against the Jedi Knights of his time. One of his lesser-known actions was the discovery of a technique that allowed him to capture an enemy's very soul in the crystal placed in a lightsaber, using a process
similar to that of the Ssi-ruuk's entechment. The resulting blades, known to the jedi as Ghostsabers, were impure, displaying holes in their fire that were, in life, blemishes on the Jedi's soul itself. Though no better than a regular saber blade, it was, in Bane's mind, the ultimate insult to an enemy to use his own soul to slay his comrades...

This is a saber mod that turns your lightsaber choices into the Ghostsabers. I have included a handful of pk3's, so let me explain what is new.

Each pk3 with a certain color changes the blade of that color. The white core becomes a slightly lighter color of the blade itself. When a trail is left, the saber leaves a sparkly, eerie trail of that color (note: other sabers leave the same color trail. In other words, the red ghostsaber pk3 makes all the sabers leave a modified red trail).
When hitting an enemy, these sabers leave a ectoplasm-ey mess of the saber's color. When two lightsabers collide, a sort of Star of Bethlehem-type flash appears. The sabers look like they have holes in some parts of the blades.

NOTE: You may be interested to know that these sabers started as an attempt to make a crayola crayon saber, but I found out that these were really cool when I made one by mistake. So, there you have it!
