------[ Zaalbar Finds Items ]------------------

------[ Description ]--------------------------


This little dialog/script combo adds a one-time dialog to Zaalbar.
Evidently his time on Taris was well-spent scavenging -- he's found some 
items for you.  The dialog only spawns items if initiated while on board
the Ebon Hawk.  


------[ Contents for override folder ]---------

k_zaal_itemtlk.ncs (.nss provided)
k_zaal_putitems.ncs (.nss provided)
k_hzaa_dialog.dlg


------[ Customization ]------------------------
You can modify the k_zaal_putitems.nss script to make him give you any 
item(s) you desire. But once only.  If you want him to continue to find 
items for you, just remove the k_zaal_itemtlk.ncs from the override folder.

------[ Darkside Choker armband ]---------------

------[ Description ]--------------------------

This armband invokes the new spell 'Force Choke Anyone' with unlimited use.
Since it is an armband, the effects cannot be tareted at a specific individual.
Instead, the spell will effect the nearest individual within 17 meters.  Some
droids are also affected for some reason. :-)

Damage is proportional to the Level of the wearer.


------[ Contents for override folder ]---------

- spells.2da
- g_i_frmarmbnds51.uti
- tk_choke.ncs

------[ Integration ]-----------------------
You can invoke the 'giveitem' cheat to import the armband, or you can use
alternative means (merchants, scripting, inventory editing, dialogs, etc).


------[ Compatibility Adjustments ]------------------------

Because this item requires an entry into the spells.2da table, it is possible
that it may conflict with another mod that distributes its own copy of spells.2da
If you would like to use this item at the same time as your other mod perform the
following tasks:

- Open KotOR Tool's 2DA Editor.
- Open up the other mod's spells.2da file
- Create a new row, incrementing the row number (write down the new number) and 
enter the following values for the columns and save it:

    FORCE_POWER_CHOKE_EVERYONE

- Now open g_i_frarmbnds51.uti in GFF Editor.  Modify ProperList-0-Subtype and change it 
from 132 to whatever number you wrote down in the step above. Save it.


------[ Choke Anyone as a Jedi Power ]-------------------------------
You can also modify your Jedi character using Kotor Savegame Editor (KSE) to grant this 
Force Power.  To do so, first place the spells.2da file in your override folder.  Next, open up
KSE and browse to the character in your savegame that you want to grant the power.  Be sure you
have KSE v1.4.0 or greater.  Browse to your characters' Jedi Powers.  Click the checkbox on for
"Show All Force Powers".  You should now see the Force Power "FORCE_POWER_CHOKE_ANYONE".  Select it,
click Apply then click Commit Changes.  Close KSE and you can go around choking people like Vader.


------[ End Choker ]---------------------------------------------------
