What It Does

The Tusken King Rucksack, one of the uber loots from the Tusken King Heroic Instance, is a 6-stat, 65-item backpack that can even hold other backpacks. It’s astounding! Except, it’s ugly as sin. The pack is a giant Krayt dragon skull slung on your back, with horns protruding well over your shoulders.

Another mod hid the backpack—making it completely invisible—but the mod thread didn’t use any of the logical keywords people were using to search for it (words like “Tusken,” “Rucksack,” “backpack,” and so on).

I created this mod for those people that want to see SOMETHING rather than nothing on their backs.

This mod changes the Tusken King Rucksack into a black Chiss Poacher Backpack with blue lights.

How To Install

Before installing please exit SWG and Launchpad. Installing it while SWG is running will not harm the game, but you may not see the result of the mod until after exiting and restarting SWG.

  1. To install this mod, use an archiving utility such as Winzip, ExtractNow! or WinRAR to extract the files from this ZIP or RAR archive to your desktop or to a temporary folder.
  2. The archive will extract with a ReadMe.txt file and one or more subfolders such as /texture, /appearance, or other folders. Inside these folders are the actual mods.
  3. Copy all subfolders and their files into your main SWG directory (usually C:\Program Files\Star Wars Galaxies\).
  4. Start Star Wars Galaxies.

Important Notes

This mod will put folders with some files in the game directory that will be used instead of the files in the game. No actual SWG game files will be overwritten.

This is a “client-side modification,” which means that only you will see a change while all other players continue to see the default object/appearance/whatever. This mod is not an exploit, and this mod does not violate the SOE Terms of Service for using Star Wars Galaxies. According to SOE you are allowed to mod the client side of SWG as long as your modifications do not affect other players’ experiences or provide you an unfair advantage. This mod will neither affect other players’ experiences nor alter your personal game play to provide you an unfair advantage over other players.

To share your new SWG experience with friends and guildies for roleplay, ask them to install this mod as well. Please don’t forward around the archive. Instead, please point friends and guildies to this page so they—and you—can stay up to date with the latest version of the mod as well as exciting other mods released by RailMagnor.com.

A complete ReadMe.txt is in the download archive.
