you guys have a golden saint sword from SI in your BSAs..
that should be removed.

I have not had reason to look at it but I would be very suprised if that was original and not a remake.

lol...no problem

I said that because we are very restrictive on assets used, never mind something slipping into the BSA. I am sure RW will be along to give an answer at some point. Thanks Simon92.

I've never had Shivering Isles, so I couldn't compare the sword he sent to the sword in the expansion. If it's the same, perhaps he didn't know we couldn't really do that. Could someone please compare them, and if they do look identical I'll put the job of creating a new sword on my to-do-list.

I attached NIFSkope images of both longswords (the one from SE and the one from ST). I don't have the textures installed for SE, but even without, the resemblance is pretty strong. The NIF's are also the same size, for both long and short versions.

EDIT: SE with textures in screenshot 3. The textures are slightly different in colour, but other than that, the swords appear identical.

Great catch Simon92!!

Here is a :bananarock:

I wish I had more to give

[simonp92]

i sometimes use a technique where i made the new mesh on top if an old MW mesh??

I'm sure they are. Unlike with Morrowind models, the legal implications of using stuff from an expansion isn't as apparant. It won't be solved by becoming dependant on SI either because I believe captain-ultima modified the sword so it could be wielded by a character. So, it has to be its own nif.

I'm convinced captain-ultima acted in good faith by the way

Hmm I wonder if I can swat two flies with one strike by modelling a weapon from TES3 we don't have yet? Then our Golden Saints can use it, and other characters as well.

I did add the sword to the CS but the model was already in there when i added it, if it has new textures perhaps it was mistook for a new model byy someone with no SI at the moment when it was placed among other files?

Razor, if you dont mind since Dave's on a brake and Project Vv has yet to progress to a point where i could be useful, i could whip up a new sword model for the Saint that matches morrowind's variation of the sword they wield and overally see how i could be helpful here.

Yes please, that would be wonderful! Thankyou! :goodjob:
