you have to have HEK to instal it .. if you do... open gurilla.

2. make a new .iten_collections tag

3. click on add

4. in the pull down menu set it to weapon

5. click the "..." and find the katana.weapon tag that you should have put in this directory: tags\weapons\katana

6. and opionally set the weight to 100

7. save this in this directory: tags\item collections\single weapons

8. use this tag as it were any other weapon tag....

the katana looks good and all, but why is it hiltless? samurai swords have hilts. and use a better texture for the handle. and you may want to turn up the reflectivity on the blade :wink: . just some constructive criticism. i bet someone's gonna say i'm flamming you... :lol:...they must be what i call...retarted.

lol i agree w/all those comments except one....ur not flamming :D

hmmm if im gonna make it more shiny.. i know i have to edit the shader cubemap and reflectivity properties... i'll look into shinyness cause i dunno how to make things more shiny... and i know it does have a hilt (aka tsuba)

make a dark pink multipuspose bitmap for the blade and make a lighter one for the handle (dark = more reflective, light = less)

thats no Katana, its a fucking ninjitsumia (ninja sword) katanas arent straight they're curved, how do i know this? I own a katana.... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

did you know orinal (early) katana's were straight? and i know this has to be curved.. its just that i was too lazy to curve the blade... 8)
