It works on Dak Janson's - Holiday.gob, Dan Shay's - Light Sabre and Rob Porter's (ROBA FETT) - Boba Fett Patchs:
1) Ungob the Patch.gob with "GobIt!" (By Simon J. Brownlee, Simon.Brownlee@jrc.it), it will create a new folder titled "Patch.gob f". This folder is already ungobed.
2) Open that folder and drag all of its contents into the Dark Forces install folder, preferably to the side of or below the DF Application.
3) Select ALL of the .gob contents at once, so they are all hilighted, and drag & drop them onto the DFApplication. The game should start and the patch documents will be loaded first, getting preference over those that are in the gobs, inside the Dark Forces Data folder.
4) To play the game in the "original" mode just click on the application as usual and it will ignore the patch files.
Enjoy the new dimesions these patches give the game. ArchTx@aol.com
ORIGINAL TEXT BY DAN SHAY FOLLOWS:
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
lit.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.
Anyway, to get this damn thing to work type in the following command at the C
prompt:
dark -ulit.gob
That's it!! Happy hunting!!

P.S. You may distribute this patch anywhere you please, but I request that

you want, but, again, give me credit for the original work.
