I've put together giant gallery images displaying all of the weapons included in my mod. Upon completion I discovered there are exactly... entirely more than I care to count. lol. (I had to cut them up into 6 different images and make them much smaller than I want just for the filesize to be accepted.)
The galleries are...

Mod Description
----------------------------------------------------------------
This mod is what will become a crafting & weapon overhaul. This will effect, modify and add weapons to crafting, leveled lists, and anywhere else weapons are found in the game.

-Total new crafting recipes to 126!
-Crafting materials and equipment styles independent of each-other.
-Not all Orcish swords are made of orichalcum and not all orichalcum swords are made in Orcish style.
-I have changed all of the game's basic weapon models & textures with different textures representing their material.
-Materials and styles will each and exclusively affect a weapon's overall capabilities. Material used will be the level/power based component, while style will be mostly aesthetic with minor benefits.
-Level progression will be as follows. Iron > Steel > Alchemical Silver > Orichalcum > Dwemer Metal > Moonstone > Glass > Ebony > Daedric.
-The different weapons styles will be. Basic, Nordic, Dwemeri, Dunmeri, Altmeri, Altmeri Ornate, Orcish, Dremora, Breton, Imperial, Akaviri, Ancient-Nord and Redguard.
-Crafting styles unlock alongside their required material. Example, learning Steel Smithing unlocks all varieties of steel weapons.

-73 new Unique Weapons!
-In addition to the changes to crafting & leveled-lists. This mod adds scores of new & old Unique weapons. Most returning from Morrowind & Oblivion.
-Unique weapons are given descriptions containing a combination of flavour text and enchantment details.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Swords & Axes of Tamriel, 0.3.1
-Entirely new glass material texture. Finally a glass texture I feel is 'perfect'.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Swords & Axes of Tamriel, 0.3.0
-I've put together almost entirely new material textures for everything.
Ebony is now a smooth, glossy black material.
Malachite is smooth and less chunky.
Daedra Heart red is darker, with more veins.
Gemstones are all new.
Redid all of the cloth colours for the hand-wraps.
Made a new less-red wood texture.
New, less saturated gold texture.
New brushed silver texture.
New, now smooth special quicksilver texture.
New smooth steel texture.
New Iron texture.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Swords of Tamriel: 0.80
-Restructured all of my my meshes & textures.
The different weapon styles, since their normal/environment maps are all the same anyway will all point to the same textures instead of pointing to a different texture for each material. Therefor I deleted all of the duplicate normal/environment maps. That cut back the mod's overall filesize by about 2/3rds.
-This should be the last sword-only replacer version.
-This replacer is more basic/realistic than the older "Swords of Tamriel" versions. This replaces all one-handed and two-handed sword meshes and textures with my own basic sword & basic claymore meshes textures.

-Redone Daedric weapon textures. Much less red going on.
-Two-handed swords also now replaced!
-Swords are essentially complete. Now to start the next weapon type!

----------------------------------------------------------------
Swords of Tamriel: 0.40
-Tweaked most textures. A Few have been redone from scratch.
-Mesh replaces most swords in-game with my new meshes/textures.
-No new weapons now. All replacers at this point.
-Based on user feedback this version is much more subdued than 0.30. The weapons should blend in with the world much better.
-As Always, please give me your feedback, suggestions, ideas!

----------------------------------------------------------------
Swords of Tamriel: 0.30
-Reworked all of my textures based on user feedback. Cut filesize in half.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Swords of Tamriel: 0.20

My final statement on the subject of compatibility information.
Compatibility information isn't quite the same as a compatibility list or compatibility section. This information is universal and independent of which mod you're looking at. If you're interested in learning about Skyrim mod compatibility read this article.
http://forums.theelderscrollsskyrim.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5743
The information is and has been out there for anyone willing to look for it. I didn't write the guide and I'm not interested in writing one either. Simply put, if someone is concerned about compatibility they can figure it out on their own. It's not something I plan to invest any time in.
Simply stating which objects are changed is a waste of my time. a. You can open the .esp in any tool and see for yourself. b. Every-time the version changes, different objects are changed. c. I'm not going to waste unnecessary time explaining things people should be able to figure out on their own.

If an interested person would type their question "Skryim Mod Compatibility" into I don't know, Google or something, they would get all the answers they're looking for. There's no need for me to go through and repeat things which are already written. I prefer to spend my time writing and creating things which have not yet been written or created, not wasting my time repeating the same things over, and over and over despite them already being written by a dozen other people in a dozen other places. If I wanted to do that, I'd be a school teacher, not a Skyrim Modder.

[Project]

On the topic of Firesalts - they are quite uncommon. Perhaps making them have a small chance of being mined along with Ebony and Malachite, like how you sometimes find gems and the like?

[Brooke Turner]

What if certain forges didn't require firesalt? I'm thinking Riften after the quest, skyforge, and silent moons.

[Katy Hogben]

What if certain forges didn't require firesalt? I'm thinking Riften after the quest, skyforge, and silent moons.

That's a cool idea, though I'm pretty sure it would mean having to create a whole lot of duplicate recipes (though I guess creating them would be easy, just duplicate the original recipe, remove the firesalt ingredient, and make whatever changes are needed to make it only show up at the appropriate forges.)

Other things that could be done would be adding more firesalts to alchemist vendors (though that might make the Riften forge quest too easy) and increasing the flame atronach death item count.

I vote for increased death item count.

[Chris Johnston]

It'd be nice if you could add conditions to individual recipe ingredients and outputs, that'd make this sort of thing a lot easier - temporarily add a perk to the player when they're using one of those special forges, then have the firesalt ingredient check for that perk. Ah well, maybe in the next TES game...

*Edit - Sort of beyond the scope of this mod, but it'd be cool if the firesalts were pickpocketable like briarhearts, "extinguishing" the flame atronach if you do it in battle.

[Lisa Robb]

I was thinking of making the Ingots require the fire-salts. Ingots are made at smelters. This would make Ebony more exciting & difficult to produce.

[Kim Bradley]

I was thinking of making the Ingots require the fire-salts. Ingots are made at smelters. This would make Ebony more exciting & difficult to produce.

It'd also quintuple the amount of firesalts you need. They really are hard to come by, so that might be a bit much.

[Dark Mogul]

Well. How else would the smelter become hot enough to melt volcanic metal? Maybe there could be alternate materials besides fire-salts? Perhaps some sort of an imbued charcoal?

[Daramis McGee]

Well. How else would the smelter become hot enough to melt volcanic metal? Maybe there could be alternate materials besides fire-salts? Perhaps some sort of an imbued charcoal?

The smelter is also a different piece of equipment from the forge. Maybe it gets hot enough to smelt whatever ore you put in it, but forges don't get hot enough to soften the volcanic metals? I'm just saying, from a balance perspective requiring one firesalt per ingot would probably be too much.

*Edit - The creation of some steels requires temperatures hotter than magma, so if a smelter can make steel, it can probably work with the volcanic materials.

I did not know that. Problem solved.

[Mistress trades Melissa]

180 textures left before I start meshes.

[Kortniie Dumont]

As far as I can find out, most real medieval forges used coke, coal or charcoal as fuel. Requiring firesalts would be going overboard in my opinion, charcoal would be enough. The blacksmith in Riften says that firesalts are his secret recipe to making superior goods, not that they are required to work the forge at all.

It would be cool if you could get a temporary fortiify smithing effect from adding some firesalts to the forge fire though. I do think requiring some charcoal or firesalts for every recipe would be too much, but you should need some to heat up the forge. For the forges in town, you shouldn't need much, since the blacksmith who owns it will keep it hot constantly for their own work anyway. Maybe require one charcoal or firesalt per in-game half hour of time? For the forges in caves or camps you should need more though. Perhaps 5 charcoal or firesalts to fire it up and then 1 per half-hour to keep it going? That would help fix some of those stupid situations I've come across like finding a forge in a millenia abandoned dwemer ruin and finding it to be already burning and ready to use.

[Lucky Boy]

firesalts as a requirement is a horible idea imo, what is with you people and over complicating everything.

EDIT: as some sort of temporary Bonus sure, but not a requirement.

[BEl J]

ETA on Bows?

Great progress on melee!

[Kara Payne]

firesalts as a requirement is a horible idea imo, what is with you people and over complicating everything.

Because we like complicated recipes.
It makes it more of an accomplishment when you finally craft it, I suppose.

[Verity Hurding]

Are any of the craftable weapons enchanted? I noticed a meter under a few of them at the forge.

[Camden Unglesbee]

Because we like complicated recipes.
It makes it more of an accomplishment when you finally craft it, I suppose.

I don't mind complicated recipes when it makes sense and isn't just adding rare materials for the sake of making it harder to craft.
as for fire salt it is my opinion that only that one forge sould be able to use it, and that whe it has some you get some sort of bonus to smithing.

[Daddy Cool!]

as for fire salt it is my opinion that only that one forge sould be able to use it, and that whe it has some you get some sort of bonus to smithing.

For my game I wouldn't mind firesalt requirements for glass, ebony, and daedric, but I can see where some might find it annoying/unnecessary (I'm using a dragonbone weapons mod right now that requires flawless diamonds and its truly just a pain.)

As for a bonus to smithing from fire salts, a hotter forge in and of itself probably wouldn't give you better stuff (its just there to make the metal pliable after all) but you could maybe use them as part of some sort of annealing process - craft hardened versions of some weapons that could maybe be improved more via the grinding wheel (harder steel or ebony would hold an edge better than soft.) Kind of a lot of extra work though.

[Laura Cartwright]

Hey, Baratan, could you put the version history in a spoiler tag? It's getting kinda long.

[Catherine N]

For my game I wouldn't mind firesalt requirements for glass, ebony, and daedric, but I can see where some might find it annoying/unnecessary (I'm using a dragonbone weapons mod right now that requires flawless diamonds and its truly just a pain.)

Kind of a lot of extra work though.

I was talking about the forge in riften that is supposed to make superior gear but needs fire salts.

[Leticia Hernandez]

I think it's probably worth noting that even with those twenty firesalts the smith in Riften produces the exact same quality goods as any other smith. Might be that they're just his personal smithing placebo.

On the subject of material requirements I remember discussion about the dremora weapons earlier and people decided that they should require an ebony ingot to forge because of the black material. Just wanted to chime in on that, ebony is both rare and pretty valuable, especially at early levels, so it seems that no one would ever forge iron, steel, silver, etc dremora weapons, because frankly you'd be better off saving it. That being said I do like the idea of a special requirement for the dremora weapons. Maybe void salts would work better though? Works as an explanation for the black metal, is suitably daedric in origin and is still pretty rare and expensive without making the player feel like they're wasting something really valuable.

And if anyone's interested, I've figured out what I was doing wrong with the shaders for the axe and am working on getting a quicker and easier system together for making the 3rd person meshes. So I should be able to start working in earnest on getting some axes/blunt weapon varients together soon for you guys to yae/nay.

[Kirsty Wood]

Because we like complicated recipes.

I think I will keep the exotic ingredients to the Unique Weapons. Speaking of which... which of the unique weapons should I make craftable and with which requirements? There's a huge list of them!

Are any of the craftable weapons enchanted? I noticed a meter under a few of them at the forge.

The meter is displayed for any item with a description. It doesn't mean they're enchanted.

[Justin Hankins]

I think I will keep the exotic ingredients to the Unique Weapons. Speaking of which... which of the unique weapons should I make craftable and with which requirements? There's a huge list of them!

Maybe the random unique's from MW?

[Barbequtie]

Maybe the random unique's from MW?

Well yes... but which ones in particular and which ingredients should they require and which perks etc. Eventually they will be recipes found in the game-world but in the meantime they're going to have to be unlocked in a different way.

Should Arcane smithing just unlock them all for now?
