Well, here it is.  This is the NEW AND IMPROVED 256-color lightsabre patch
for Dark Forces.  It replaces your fist as a weapon.  Unfortunately, it has
the same power as the fist (ther's currently no way to edit weapon logics) so
we can't all go around cleaveing people in two just yet.  Included in this 
.zip file are the following files:

Light.txt ---> this text file
idle.bmp ---> the first frame of the sabre's swing
idol2.bmp ---> the second frame of the sabre's swing
idle3.bmp ---> the third frame of the sabre's swing
punch.voc ---> a .voc file of a lightsabre striking something
swing.voc ---> a .voc file of a lightsabre swinging
luke.gob ---> the gob file required to run this patch

I worked for about twelve hours total on this patch.  To do it, I used Aldus 
Photo Styler SE (a CD that came with my CD-ROM drive), and a windows 
recording program.  To convert the various files I had to use dfuse and 
wav2voc.  I hope you like the patch.  If you have any suggestions, e-mail me
at danshay@aol.com.  If you're on AOL, just E-mail me at Dan Shay.  

Note:  The reason why there is no sound change in this patch is twofold.  One:
I can't quite seem to get the .vocs I included to work.  (Which is why I 
included them.  See what you can do with 'em.)  Two: Apparently, one can run
into legal trouble if one distributes these ACTUAL MOVIE SOUNDS in a patch for
DF.  Don't ask me the specifics, I don't know 'em.  I'm just covering my ass.
To run this patch, simply entry at the command line where you run DF the 
following command:

        dark -uluke.gob

That's it!! Happy hunting!!
