Meitou Recolour: Dust Gold

Description
Basic information
Yeah, I like doing this stuff, its fairly simple.

This retexture uses marbled black and gold textures for the blade and a modified picture of a table mat for the grip.

I generally like my Cross class weapon's to stand out. They're special. I tend to lean towards heavy dark colours like black, contrasted with another colour not used in the game (like red or gold). It does work nicely to make weapon inventory previews stand out too.

Performance and Compatability
This should be compatible with everything as long as it is loaded after other weapon texture mods.

The resolution is a bit higher than my previous mod (about 40%); Red and Black, but it looks much much nicer.

I spent a few hours testing with various models and tweaking the texture to make sure they all fit well enough. I'm finally happy with the results.

I HIGHLY recommend:
Weapons Look Metallic: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1845960491
(Load this before my mod) It really works well with the golden shine, it pretty much looks like ass without it.

Bounties Galore!: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1847415563
Adds new unique meitou grade weapons and interesting bounties!

Lots of new weapons.

How to regenerate your icons (Optional, for people that want consistent icons)

I believe, with the exception of the base game Meitou weapons, weapon icons (as seen in the inventory/user interface) are generated by the game based on your textures. The icons are generated then saved in one of your folders, so Items already generated wont have the new representative icon. This can be fixed by deleting the old icons.

Here are the instructions, it looks like a few steps but it only takes a second or two.

1. Go to Wherever your kenshi install is, Mine looks like this;
steamapps> common > Kenshi > Data > Icons
(This folder holds all the games non UI icons)

2. Search "5229"
(All the icons with 5229X are generally game generated meitou icons)

3. Highlight all 5229s and delete.


(This is completely safe, as the game generates the icons based on the texture for these weapons, and will just regenerate them with the new textures, so if you do uninstall my mod and want them to go back to vanilla, just do this again)

Permissions

Free reign: feel free to re-upload, edit, fix, copy and paste, pretty much whatever you'd like with the contents of this mod. I'm not picky, but I've recently moved (again) for school, so if anyone wants to repurpose this, don't hesitate! Really! Go wild with literally anything I've uploaded!

Hello. Your mod is great! I used it in my maksimum kenshi mod set, I hope you won't mind. I will definitely indicate your mod in the list of used mods. Thank you in advance.

The meitou weapons are made by an ancient space skeleton (probably) and yet a guy in the comments says things about it's realism? Uhh it's probably a metal that looks like gold or something. Just enjoy the retexture! :steamsalty:

yeah the weapons were also made by an extremely ancient skeleton who lived in a space empire so its obviously not realistic

Why such stats lol, gold weapons should be slightly better than rusty ones, but expensive since gold is a brittle and light metal. Not realistic

@TheyCallMeVincenzo HAH! I'd hope so too. Happy New Year!

Thank you for putting that help in your description. I hope to see great mods like this in Kenshi 2 if that releases before WWIII. Happy New Year!

@Gman, late reply sorry, that would be one of LunaticFox's weapons found here on the workship. I can't quite remember which pack I used (because I use many of LunaticFox's weapons), but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

@TheyCallMeVincenzo That's not a bad idea. It'll probably help others or people that didn't even know they could do that.

Please put in your mod description what icons I have to delete to fix the inventory icons. I don't like have to go through past comments to search for it. Please.
