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....

hmmm.. only if i knew how to do custom animations...

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

. just some constructive criticism. i bet someone's gonna say i'm flamming you...

...they must be what i call...retarted.

Captain_Lag · Post by **Captain_Lag** » Sun Aug 22, 2004 8:16 am

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

Banshee Ace 2 · Post by **Banshee Ace 2** » Sun Aug 22, 2004 8:19 am

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)

Captain_Lag · Post by **Captain_Lag** » Sun Aug 22, 2004 8:21 am

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

Banshee Ace 2 · Post by **Banshee Ace 2** » Sun Aug 22, 2004 8:23 am

i dont even kno uvw unwrap... i just made a square full color bitmap for each part of the sword... so i wouldnt know how to do mutipurpose maps...

yes my guns would looks better but i totally dont understand uvw unwrap...

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

Banshee Ace 2 · Post by **Banshee Ace 2** » Sun Aug 22, 2004 1:01 pm

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...
