-DESCRIPTION-
A simple mod that adds 5 crossguard sabers, 5 backhand sabers, 4 saber pikes, and 4 hinged lightsabers, using parts from saber hilts that were already in the game, hence "Converted Sabers." Usable in both singleplayer and multiplayer. This also adds 4 new Reborn bots that use these sabers.


Crossguard Saber - Good in saber locks and parrying, but suffers slow swing speed. Making all three blades hit can deal massive damage to the target. In other words, additional damage is dealt the closer your target is to your hilt. The Strong style is perfect for achieving this result.

Backhand Saber - Fast aggressive style that can easily break defenses. Suffers from weak parrying and being mostly limited to one style. Forward jump attack executes a kick move that hits almost immediately. Dual-wielding two at once gives you even faster swings.

Pike Saber - Has the longest reach and can push back anyone hit with it, but has slow swing speed. Lunge and forward jump attacks are stab moves.

Hinged Saber - Its two blades give massive damage output at the cost of attack speed. Single-bladed mode uses the Fast style. Forward jump attack executes a flipping kick move.



You can also change sabers in-game using cheats. Enable cheats by pressing Shift and ~, then typing "helpusobi 1" into the console.

-BUGS-
Sometimes, if your character cannot move while saber(s) are on, the game cannot decide whether you're using saber staff or dual sabers. This can be fixed by restarting the game and reloading the level.
There is a rare chance that the maps vjun3 and kor2 may not load every 2nd time, especially with the crossguard saber replacement mod. Press ESC to exit the loading screen and reload the level.
