Very cool, thanks for mod.

Nice. Thanks for releasing these, Alaisiagae. Wonder if Midgetalien has seen these for his Diablo Identify mod..?

» Sat Feb 13, 2010 3:22 pm

These are great! Thanks.

Looks extravagant, thank you Alaisiagae

Yeah, I stayed home sick from class today, and I'm so out of it, the only thing I could think of doing was messing around with meshes, and then I remembered I had this mod sitting on my hard drive since forever (well, since this Spring).

I have so many unfinished projects, it isn't even funny. Anybody want Nicoroshi's bows? I wanted to enlist a texturer for help to add them to the regular weapon sets, but I haven't really been having much success. I can't even put textures on them by myself, 'cause as it is, they use composite textures, which I svck at, nevermind that I would just slap on vanilla textures anyway (which are impossible for composite UV maps).

Ooh, very nice. And I was just poking around for nice, fresh new weapon/armor resources to put in the dragon's hoards for RoF. One or two of these will be perfect. Thanks for converting these, Alaisiagae!

EDIT: Can't help with textures, but I'm currently working on learning to make icons. If I get to the point where I can make nice ones, I'd be happy to hand 'em over (and make ones for the bows).

Oh, I know how to make icons. At least, in Photoshop. I just wasn't really feeling like hauling out my laptop today, that's all.

Once I'm feeling better, I might fire up photoshop and make some icons - I need to make some new ones for some items I'm fiddling with anyways, and I like doing all my icons in a big batch.

But, the offer is definitely appreciated. ^_^ Are you any good at leveled loot lists? That's an area I have little ken of, and it will be a vital component to adding in the new throwing weapons, polearms, bows, and ammo I've been building up over the past year.

For some info on how to create leveled lists, check http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?s=&showtopic=523132&view=findpost&p=7492635 (the whole thread is probably helpful)
I look forward to seeing your other new weapons you're working on. If you need more help on implementing them into leveled lists when the time comes, just ask

Oops! Wasn't meaning to imply that you didn't -- just offering a bit o' help on the side if wanted. :hehe:

I've messed with them a bit, and will be doing so more soon, but I haven't done enough so far to be of any use yet in that regard.

On to the daggers, on the Arthurian one, it has a longish, very thin gap in the center of the blade, in a way that doesn't appear from all angles and doesn't look intentional.

Nice blades.

Yup, I know that problem. I have no idea how to go about fixing it, though.

If someone wants to fill the gap and send it over to me, I'll update the resource pack with it.

@Pluto: thanks for the link and the offer - I may just take you up on that.

I love the detail on the daggers especially the Arthur one, very nice thank you

» Sat Feb 13, 2010 12:51 pm

Updated. Made icons for the daggers.

» Sat Feb 13, 2010 4:36 pm

Thanks for this, looks like a nice addition to my weapon collection.

This is a noob question, but i am very very new to modding. I am currently on my house mod, and i wanted to add these daggers into one of my rooms. I put the Meshes/Textures and Icons into their folders, but when i open Construction set, i cant find the daggers! Please someone help a new modder.

There is no esp, so you have to add them into the CS yourself.

Go to the Weapons Tab, right click, select New.
click Add Art File, find the new Mesh you want.
click Inventory Image, find the corresponding file for the Icon.

You'll see an ID has been created for the dagger, you should make a new unique one.
Then name the dagger, and add the stats you want. (you can come back and tweak them anytime)
When done, click OK.

thanks again pluto.

Updated: now includes the scarab dagger icon that I forgot to make the first time around. Thanks to Vaon2 on Planet Elder Scrolls for pointing this out to me - otherwise, I would not have noticed it at all!

This models are so beautifull id wish somebody would use them for a weapons pack

They are indeed very well done! Just make your own weapons pack via the CS, so you don′t have to wait til someone else makes this

. It′s not that difficult, just follow the instructions of Alaisiagae some posts above yours.

Pluto gave the instructions, not I.
