I am fairly new to Jedi Knight modding, but I have already looked around a lot and it doesn't seem like anyone has already made what I'm looking for. What I'd like is just another lightsaber slot for Jedi Academy single player, my idea was that I could enable g_saberpickuppabledroppedsabers and then pick up and exchange dropped sabers while always having access to my original. I didn't think it would be too hard, and I've learned enough to know how to modify weapons.dat and items.dat and put them in a pk3, but I wasn't able to actually add another lightsaber with just those two files obviously. I also got the source code for the game and OpenJK, and started looking at the C++ files, but I'm only just learning the language so not much of it was making sense. Also I tried compiling the OpenJK source code with CMake and Visual Studio and I'm pretty sure it worked fine, but I don't really understand what to do with the .dll files yet.
So, does anyone know how hard it would be to add another slot for a lightsaber, and the steps to doing it? Or if a mod like that has been done before and maybe I'm just missing it?
Thank you
