first by reducing the size of the "core", and second by making the
"aura" a lot dimmer and more ragged.

Hey, those look kinda nice! would you post some 'before and after' comparison screenshots?

[Working Class Hero]

Quite nice; I prefer the original trilogy style lightsabers to the later lightbatons of the prequels.

I think it's the other way around.

In the original obi wan/vader fight, I remember the lightsabers looking more like actual sabers (without the aura) than to something like obi wan vs maul.

Of course George could have changed this since then.

ANH does have a smaller aura, but the rest of the series don't. Specially in RotJ, in which both the aura and the core are huge.

Yep, yours is quite less blinding. I'll download and try it.

[Dak Drexl]

I was also going to say that these reminded me of the sabers from ANH. Nice touch

\well of course they work on tsl they are just a texture for an item in both games. Great mod! can you do it so the hilt bigger blade bigger, and is there a way to do this for guns. Maybe pm me?
