Yep! :yes: Quickly, give it a try... :dance: Mmm...i just want to comment about the lag: When i grab the glowing gem & run around Cyrodiil, it's not that bad. So i'm just hoping if we already found the script that makes the gem follows the weapon, the lag won't cause us trouble... :thumbsup: Cheerz...

Sahardoom in DwemerPlasmaBladesV2 main file have a lightsaber weapon that use torch mesh. Maybe u can try to do something with it...I ever tried to use it (the lightsaber torch) as a weapon, but since the ID in CS is still weapon, so it didn't produce light. I have a question: If we use grap button (z in my computer), we can move the ground mesh such as glowing gem whereever we want to. & i can still grab the glowing gem while running... So can we create a script that move the ground glowing gem to follow the weapon movement while attacking, running, etc? If so, maybe the problem solved...am i right? :ohdear:

I'll try... :thumbsup:

I'm trying to make the lightsaber blur like this: http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/2199/lightsaberblur.jpg Anyone know how to do it in Blender/Nifskope so we can see the effect in-game? Thanks a lot if u can help. :yes:

Ermmm...i tried to understand how your ideas work. :ohdear: But since i'm not that good with computer things, it looks i'm out of luck... :biggrin: But since we can set the light radius for the gem in CS (i use 512 for my gems), so i'm hoping your ideas still give all of us the flexibility to control the radius. :thumbsup: Anyway, i'm hoping these ideas will make sense, so people can work together the realize them. Btw, i'm trying to make the lightsaber blur like this: http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/2199/lightsaberblur.jpg Anyone can help? I'll create a new post for this matter in Technical Support forums... Thanks :thumbsup:

@ MarkInMKUK: Yea, thanks for your advise... I remember a nexus member ever told me about this. But let's find a solution. Kyle Katarn; a Jedi Master, @ the end of the Jedi Academy video game said: "If there's one thing I've learned - never say never..." :thumbsup:

SO... :wallbash: DO... :wallbash: I...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wallbash: Btw, did u ever play Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy? I'm playing it...Bought it from Steam. & u know what?? The lightsaber glows... :thumbsup: :biggrin: Another special effect i love is: wall scratch... :happy: Take a look: http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/7107/jediacademy01.jpg I think we need to change blood sprinkles in Oblivion too, into somethings that connect to lightsaber... & a friend of mine also asks me to create lightsaber blur when we swing it.

Really?? Well, that didn't happen to my lightsaber mod's gem...i tried to check it after i read this message. Maybe that's bcos i didn't use any script for the gem...i just put it in the box. I found this Rotating an object around another object with a script tutorial. I mean, if we can rotate an object around another object with script, can we rotate a "world space" gem (that produces light) around lightaber?? That's what i'm trying to do all this time...but i don't really familiar with scripting... :(

Yes, the gem gives off the light & can be customized to be different colors, bcos it uses the ID under the Light tab in the WorldObjects tab in CS. Every ground mesh you choose to be the mesh for the light ID, will produce light. & it doesn't need a script! :thumbsup: Mmmm...i ever tried to add the gem to the mesh in NifSkope, but since the right hand weapon is recognized by Oblivion engine as weapon, it doesn't produce light, even there's a gem mesh added to the weapon. My offhand-lightsaber uses an armor ID, shield mesh with lightsaber model & lightsaber weapon ID for the ground mesh...& it auto-equipped when you unsheath a right-hand weapon (using script from Shield on Back mod). But...since the ID i use for the offhand-lightsaber is armor/clothing (i.e: amulet, ring) ID, it didn't produce light... :( To produce light, always have to use light ID. But light ID can't be used as shield, so what's the use of offhand-lightsaber? So, i think the 1st idea is impossible (i hate so say that!).... About the 2nd idea, i think a lightsaber author known as heavywaters is working on with that idea...I still don't know how it works, but it's possibly possible... :sweat:

@ Natterforme : Haha...got you! :biggrin: Well, actually the purple shadows casted on my char's body is truly a light source from Oblivion engine. But still, the light isn't coming from the blade, but from the gem in front of the char. I use Screenshooters Illumination 1_2 mod, set the position of the gem (light source) using getpos x/y/z console command. I don't use Photoshop or post-processing, since i'm not that good with photoshop. Besides, i want to see the shadows as natural as possible for any of my lightsaber screenshot. In my lightsaber mod, i also include the light source gems in CS; together with the light sabers. All i need now is the script that makes the gem to follow the saber movement; hoping that in the future it will be easier to make screenshots with lightsaber. If u don't mind, u can try download that mod & see what can u do to create the perfect script. The color of the gems has been made to match perfectly with the saber color. If u need help, let me know. I'll do what i can... :thumbsup: P.S: Thanks a lot for this discussion. At least, i can see a ray of hope for my favorite game (Oblivion) & weapon (lightsaber). :ohdear: @ fg109: Thanks to u too... It looks like you're an expert in this matter. Good luck in everything u do.

Hello... it looks like finally i have the information i need to make my lightsabers glow. It's been a very long time i wanted to attach gem (light source) to my lightsaber, but so far people always say that's impossible. I'm sure that a light source can be attached to weapon using script, but then another person said that the game will be very laggy... I have 19 lightsaber colors in my mod & i want it so bad to see my char running around Cyrodiil will lightsaber in hand & it casts shadows. Please share any other useful information to make this dream comes true. I'll keep getting back to this post to find the latest or even final info that works perfectly. Thanks & good luck. -lovender-
