It would be fun to make a cream-pie attack spell as a gag.

The MDL and CP files are just animated models (doors, chests, traps, switches etc). You can move them if you want, but they are much harder to make custom replacements for than non-animated MDO models.  If you just want to remove parts from the editor list, all you have to do is move the PRF files somewhere else.

A little tip, if you right click on a PRF file and select 'always - open with Notepad', you'll be able to open PRFs like a text document and see the name of the part they go to as well as the MDO/MDL they use. You can't edit a PRF that way, but you can see the names.    :rainbow:

The swing model, i believe, changes colour depending on the lighting in your game.

Placing a sky should add transparency, however ive not yet used transparency for any weapons.

Good work :)

Very impressive! it makes what I've been workin on look like, well, crap. lol, I've never been much of an artist anyway so I never expected to make anything that made people way "wow" or something.

Well, I was gonna post this weapon else where but I guess I'll post it here. And yes, I know it still lacks a texture, like everything else I've made so far, lol! I would like an honest opinion about it, so if it looks really bad, just say so.

(I think I'm too hard on myself, but who cares? Makin fun of myself is just so much fun! :dazed: )
Yeah, I'm still around. I haven't much to say anymore however I do lurk around here. :ninja:

cgtextures.com is a fantastic place to find textures for free!

i think all your guys stuff looks good, each individual style adds personality to your game in my opinion.

I'd say about 50% of a model is it's coloring/texture. Your model looks like a decent start and I can picture several different paths it could go when a texture is added- the 'barbs' on the side could end up multi colored feathers on a straight spear tip, or the whole thing could become a wicked looking short sword. Adding some 'curves' to break up the straight lines might be nice, but it all depends on what your
vision' is. You should add a texture and see what comes out.
