General Information:
This is the first JK2 modification I have made. It is also the first time I have tried
skinning a model in Photoshop from scratch that WAS NOT just a large pile of gradient
colors.
For my first time try at something like this, I think it went quite well.
This mod will just simply modify the Saber and most of it's aspects to an EFP* version of
it. Nothing else has been changed, so it is possible to use this mod in servers that are not
pure.
Originally I was intending to create a simple different colored blade that would alternate
colors constantly, however I found that it was not technically possible to do it the way
I wanted it do in JK2.
So instead, I tried my hand again at a bit of 3D modeling and I made this saber. And I
think that this thing is much better than a simple blade!
So, I hope you enjoy the EFP*LightSaber Mod!
Enjoy!
Tim

About the EFP*:
The Elite Force Posse was originally founded in 2001 by a group of friends, around the game
"Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force". Since then, the clan's member number has increased
immensely, as well as it has now also expanded into the JK2 world where they have matches
there too.
