thats not a noob question.....
fist you need to downlaod the latest version of the module system. Than a python compiler and BRF Edit. Now you must declare the Items.
read a tutorial or something else sry....
@ jayhawker offcourse you can modelling that! I have a hint for you: This sword is nice, i tell you something: when you make the handhold a little bit only a bit shorter and the blade a bit longer too than its the best looking sword. I own this picture not, I find it at google
http://google.de at pictures.... google is a internet search mashine.
I will say something to my avatar^^ offcourse you can see the Siomonte (my name

in real my name is Simon but Siomonte is coooler)
under my name in the picture is a S with this 2 stripes. I had have created^^ and in the left side of the piczure is written Simon Style.^^
EDIT: I have another idea! doeasn´t make anithing shorter! make the blade a bit longer and you cane use it as one-handed weapon, and when as two-handed weapon you must it a bit shorter adn so on....
