Hello! :wave: Some of you may recall the large project I'm working on that will add new marksman weapons - bows, crossbows, and new bolts. While I have several resources for the aforementioned weapons, what I lack are some unique models for new throwing stars, throwing knives, and darts.

<<<>>>>

I've done some google image surfing, and found a few candidates that might look good in Morrowind:

If anyone has the time and inclination to model one or more of these, I'd be very grateful! I think I can handle the texturing, as long as the mesh is broken up (segmented) along the different shapes (for example, a different texture for the blade, handle, grip of the throwing knife).

If you have any suggestions or thoughts, or any other photos/images of cool-looking throwing weapons (knives/daggers, stars, and darts), please share!

Weapons done so far:

If you find a suitable dagger for that look, its a simple matter to mesh it around in nifskope. I thought it was hard, like, hating nifskope hard. But once you get it its easy enough. I'll keep an eye out for something that matches these, and then perform the appropriate tinkering for you should I come across it.

woah, does this mean i can play a lore correct ninja when this is finished :ninja:
i'd have a go at it, but... well... i've got some other modding to do at the moment :rolleyes:

Are you looking for existing mods with new throwing weapon models?

If you can find any, that's an option, too! There' are mods that have throwing stars for bonebold and daedric, but I wasn't wild about the daedric ones, and I don't recall what the bonebold looked like. The bonemold came from a mod that expanded the bonemold weapon set.

I'm not looking for throwing spears and axes, though.

OK. To start off http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=1220, which I don't think is that well known. http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1067, on the other hand, should be.

Bump. ^_^ Anyone care to take a crack at any of these? :cookie:

While I can re-use vanilla meshes, I'd prefer to have all-new models for the new weapons. I'm also hoping I'll be able to make these map to vanilla textures, so that, if you use a texture replacer, the throwing weapons will benefit from the changes and not stick out like sore thumbs.

@Dragon32: I think I might be able to use some of these (from Daduke's mod)! Still, those are only throwing knives, as opposed to throwing stars and darts. Definitely useful, I'll need to experiment...

I think that the scale needs adjusting, but it's close.... kinda. :hehe:

:ooo: That's good!

Ah... where might I find it?

Give me a while and I'll whip up a newer (better) model then email it to you. That's actually from when I first started modelling and I think that I've gotten better since then.

Well, I meshed this http://s257.photobucket.com/albums/hh225/Dragon_Lance/DL_ThreepointShiruken.png, but I don't know what texture to apply on it.. Perhaps someone could help me.

You might have to make a custom texture. Something too fit it's shape real well.

I could have a go at texturing it, though it probably will have to be 'new' rather than stock morrowind. Is it UVW mapped?

Not yet, I'll have it available this evening when I get off of work. I still need to position it ( only takes a minute). I suggest using a 'project from view' since the polys are a little more than Beth's. Actually, I was just looking for which texture ( meaning Daedric, Ebony, etc.) to apply on it.

Hmm... Well, ebony already has a throwing star (even though I think the mesh is a little odd), so Daedric sounds good.

The mesh looks fantastic. :goodjob:

Daedric it shall be then, and thanks .

Would not hurt to flip the knife so that you hold it by the blade to throw it.

sieboldii

Err,... the one on the left is held by the blade (as well as the newer model that I sent to Alaisiagae), the one on the right is just a regular dagger. :unsure:

So it is. Did not look at the picture hard enough the first time.

sieboldii

How does this look to ya? http://s257.photobucket.com/albums/hh225/Dragon_Lance/DL_DaedricShiruken.png

I would use it, but then I have always been partial to thrown weapons as a marksman weapon. So much faster than a bow or crossbow.

sieboldii

Beautiful!

And deadly! :ninja:

Awesome, thanks!

And here, I got to work on the mesh swrdphantom sent me. http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/rr50/Alaisiagae/Mod%20Screenshot%20MW/Misc/knife_daedric.jpg. Is it any good? :unsure: Constructive feedback is always welcome. And if you'd like to take a shot at it, let me know, and I'll upload the mesh. Honest, I won't be offended at all if people are like "umm... those textures don't look so good on it," because I know I'm not very skilled with this stuff. ^_^

In fact, I'm not quite satisfied with it. http://www.mediafire.com/?nzyc2mdnoz4, maybe you'll have a better idea of how to texture it.

I think that is excellent! No need for revision :goodjob: .
