Rune weapons

[bloodmerc]

I was able to draw viking-runes with a celtic cross on my bastard sword using photoshop and a .dds converter (thanks lost-lamb!). I haven't found the sweet spot for the SoW/greatsword yet, but the bastard/longsword use the same texture panel. Axes are the easiest tho, because their axe-head shapes are easy to write on. Has anyone else tried something similar?

I have also used tolkien tengwar (elvish) but it doesn't look as good when mirrored on the opposite side of the blade.

Nice, very nice.

What does it say?

Can i have it?

 

[bloodmerc]

It says "SWORDOWAR" for some reason, even tho it's on a bastard sword. I was just testing the placement with the cross and it looked so good to me that I took screenshots.

Can i have it?

Maybe, tell me what weapon and what you want it to say.

 

[Camus]

If you want to do it, a bastard sword that says Longclaw.

 

[bloodmerc]

Do you want the celtic cross near the hilt?

 

[Camus]

Yes, please

 

[Lost-Lamb]

Very nice work Bloodmerc

 

[bloodmerc]

Check your pm's camus. Remember to back up your original weapons1.dds file in your textures folder just in case you ever want to go back to defaults (or if it screws you up, which I doubt will happen because I just tested it).

http://eliteforce2.filefront.com/file/DDS_Converter;29412 is the one that Lost-Lamb pointed me to and it works great! Lost-Lamb said to also try to work on it in a loss-less format like .bmp

edit: oh and camus- it's in the mail

 

[Camus]

Thanks alot

Hey, can I get one of those sent to me? Also, would you mind if I used it as the quest reward in a mod I did? Ill give you full credit, etc, etc.

The full celtic cross with viking runes like the screenshot would be great. On a SOW preferably but thats modable anyway. Thanks.

Can I get one more a catholic cross near the hilt and maybe it saying "Holyavenger"? I would love you for ever if you could! Ps on one handers please . [email protected] is the e-mail

 

[bloodmerc]

Which one-handed weapon did you want it optimized for?

 

[Lhorkan]

Very nice work. But I doubt Celtic runes would fit on a nomad sabre.

I have that DDS-converter as well... Extremely useful when it comes to M&B.

 

[piotyr]

Which one-handed weapon did you want it optimized for?

longsword .

 

[Ancientwanker]

Do these textures take the place of existing textures or are you adding a new one? Is it even possible to add a new unique texture without over-writing the old ones?

Ive got some unique rune-weapon reward items that you cant buy in stores but no skin for them other than the default. Im curious if this would fit the bill without replacing the skin for every other sword of that type. Could there be a SOW-sized rune_weapon entry in the .dds without replacing the normal SOW texture?

 

[Lost-Lamb]

I'd say its quite impossible
