About this mod

Adds in lore friendly lightsaber crystals to diversify the current selection.

Hello fellow Jedi and Sith! Looking through the holocrons of the events of Kotor 2, I noticed something that was bothering me just a little bit. If you look at the lore archives, there are many lightsaber crystals that did exist around this time and yet, for some reason, none of them are ever seen in the events of the game. I decided that there were far too few crystals to play around with so I decided to add them in myself.

What this mod does is add in four brand new lightsaber crystals, two of them being unique custom color crystals, and two of them being power crystals, all of which are fully functioning and do work as intended. I am still learning a bit when it comes to doing this, so expect there to be a few errors, but I did verify that all of these do work in the lightsaber. Currently, there are two ways you can get these crystals, console commanding them in, or crafting them. I originally made these with the TSL Workbench overhaul mod installed, however I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to use them without all of the other things from that mod.

The six crystals are as follows

Mestare
Lignan
Durindfire Gem
Ulic's Redemption
Hoth Permafrost Crystal
Bnar's Sacrifice

All of these are canon and found in lore, but were omitted from inclusion in the game.

Mestare:
This crystal is found on a planet of the same name and was used as focusing crystals in lightsabers to produce blades capable of cutting through lightsaber resistant materials, like Cortosis

Lignan:
This is a dark sider only lightsaber crystal, it is an artificial crystal made from Lignan ore and produces an addictive, strongly dark side aligned crystal (seriously, why is there only one dark sider only crystal in the game?)

Durindfire Gem:
These gems are common finds in the sands of Tatooine, so common that Revan probably walked on some and didn't even realize it. The locals think they are trash but they are actually valuable gemstones only found on tatooine. The Galactic empire even collected and sold some of them to fund the death star. The crystals produce a silver blade and have a few bonuses.

Ulic's Redemption:
In canon, this crystal belonged to Ulic Qel-Droma, or at least was named after him, though I chose to think it was his. It produces a yellow blade and is VERY powerful. 

Hoth Permafrost Crystal:
These crystals are canonically found on the planet of Hoth in the Anoat sector. Other than being used rarely in lightsabers and giving a nice color to the blade, we don't know much about them so I had to improvise a bit.

Bnar's Sacrifice:
This unique brown lightsaber crystal was owned by Jedi Master Ood Bnar, who was the Head Librarian of Ossus before it's destruction. He turned himself into a tree to protect relics from Exar Kun and was brough back by Luke in 10 ABY where he helped fight against a darksider at the cost of his life.

All of these crystals require Awareness to craft, a lot of it too, like in the case of Ulic's Redemption which requires an awareness of 40.

UPDATE: I have fixed the issue of the color crystals appearing in the upgrade slots, I also found out why the Lignan crystal was doubling up, I fixed those. I also finished the Hoth Permafrost Crystal. Also created another power crystal.

I fully intend on creating more items, especially if this gets some traction. I have fixed the current bugs, the only one I can call a bug is the fact that when you are using the Hoth Permafrost crystal to make your lightsaber teal, you MUST unequip your lightsaber before you change the color crystals. If you don't, you'll get a weird graphical bug.

Enjoy and please, let me know how I did and how I can improve!
