Weapon Reskin

[spark ridge]

Completely overhauled the original mod.
Now it's capable of selectively reskinning a user's chosen sword to any of 21 different weapon appearances regardless of whether you've obtained those swords in your game yet or unlocked the Arete Stone weapon appearance option.
You no longer need to wait to run around with a glowy sword, katana, or Clive's signature Invictus.

Reskin Clive's Sword

Updated to v2.1.0 which adds 5 new weapon appearances and also the functionality to opt to reskin Odin's Blade during times when Clive uses Odin's abilities.

Do you have any plans on adding Joshuas sword to this mod? I’d love it so much 🥺💖
(if it’s possible of course <3)

[spark ridge]

Sure! I can add some of the other characters' swords. Not sure when it'll be done but hopefully in the next few weeks.

[waxen token]

Thank you sm!

[spark ridge]

Okay so I was looking into adding Joshua's and other swords, and apparently there's only one model for both young Joshua and adult Joshua's sword. Clive can't hold it properly because the handle is tiny and Clive's hand is too big for it lol

I'll add it anyway but yeah it looks a bit weird XD

[spark ridge]

Mod is updated to v.2.2.0 and trying to upload to Nexus but Nexus is having issues I think 'cause it's hanging frozen on "processing your upload".

New known issue is that the smaller swords with short handles don't fit Clive's hands so his index finger will clip through the guard.

[dusk wigeon]

I was thinking about asking about a couple of these! Awesome work, thank you! 😄

[waxen token]

YAYYYY

[spark ridge]

Version 2.3.0 released!
New custom skin for Holy Moonlight sword (inspired by Bloodborne)

Recommend choosing a large sword to reskin (such as Onion Sword, Buster Sword, or Tonberry Knife) to avoid clipping sword holster.

[spark ridge]

Small update released.

Version 2.4.0

Resized Holy Moonlight to be more in line with the size of Clive's other swords (it was way too long before).

Added 11 new weapon appearances:

Imperial Assassin Sword (sword Tiamat, Biast, and gang carried in intro scene),
Imperial Infantry Blade,
Rosarian Oath,
Stormcry,
Flametongue,
Levinbolt,
Grindstone,
Brightburn,
Icebrand,
Everdark,
Tidestrike

Added underscores in config menu to be more readable. Fixed a typo with Ragnarok. Removed debug logging accidentally left in last release.

Brotherhood is still work in progress. I need to do some retopology and create new textures still.

[placid lynx]

@spark ridge if you ever want help with retopo/textures I'd be happy to help

[spark ridge]

Thanks! ^^; I figure working on it is the best way to learn. I'll let you know if I have questions

[placid lynx]

If you have time over the weekend I could give you a crash course on both

Could be a good video resource for others too

Teaching is the I've thing I'm unequivocally good at lol

[placid lynx]

nvm ill just make the vid, will be easier. need to find a model

[placid lynx]

@spark ridge question about the mod, is there a technical reason why you cant have it like clive's outfit where every sword is reskinned? just want to know

[spark ridge]

Yeah I didn’t write the code for this mod the same way. Also Clive changes swords a lot so it’d require a lot more replacements.
At some point I might rewrite this one to use database changes too.

Also I figured people would realize they can just reskin one sword, and then use the Arete stone (once they unlock that option) to apply that appearance to all swords.

[lament estuary]

Would it be possible too have odins blade primary then the space looking one barnabas uses for odin abilities?

[placid lynx]

makes sense, sad for young clive but it isnt that big of a deal honestly

[spark ridge]

Oh yeah I should add an option to reskin Rosarian Oath

[placid lynx]

oh not that young-

[spark ridge]

Oh lol you mean just for before Arete Stone

[placid lynx]

yeah lol

well you get access to it early but you dont get access to changing any appearances until later

[spark ridge]

[dusk wigeon]

Oh the Timekeeper sword is prettyyyy 😮 Thank you Maybri!

[whole turtle]

was this mod done through mdl swap?

If it is, I might've found a solution to reskin weapons that supports custom mods.

Basically i have to replace original sin with invictus sword by changing modelidkey#2 in weaponbase.nxd

I know i might be late for this if this mod was done through nxd

[spark ridge]

It's been on my todo list to change this to use the same method as Reskin Clive, but right now it's still mdl swap.
It was my first mod that I coded a config menu for wayy back in the day and I hadn't yet learned how to use the Mod Framework, so it doesn't use NXD.
