Radiant Asamarume Weapons

While also overhauling all the existing textures of vanilla weapons, this mod offers a new line quality of weapons which will fill the holes left by the base game coverage with their four grades : Ichi, Ni, San and Yon existing respectively as fillers in level 45, 65, 85 and 95. Those weapons are either available for purchase from a merchant you must seek in the north Fishing village or craftable if you manage to find the secret to do so.

Having multiple manufacturer names allows me to group different shapes of weapons under different texture files to make appear a greater level of details on them. Don't pay too much attention to these names as they do not directly influence weapons stats, for that matter, only the Ichi, Ni, San and Yon do.

• Tremendous rework of all base game weapon textures (All 15 textures files + All 15 alphas layers + All 15 Normal map files) Content described in the sub mod Radiant Vanilla Reborn Weapons
  
  
• New Lore Friendly Character named Hanjiro which replaces the Deadcat Fishing Shop owner in the North Fishing Village. Listen to his story to learn more about Asamarume weapons. Refresh time is fixed to 48hr with limited quantity : only 3 weapons per refresh. Hanjiro will also answer frequently asked questions about Asamarume weapons (somekind of direct in-game support).
  
  
• Adds a new manufacturer called "Asamarume" with four grades of weapon quality (lvl 45, 65, 85 and 95) respectively called Ichi, Ni, San and Yon. There are 2 ways to obtain them, either from Hanjiro or crafting them after a secret unlocking. Of course these grades have different textures, "Yon" grade is only available through crafting.
  
  
• Alternate Tsuka color (leather/fabric handles) available in mod folder for each quality grade of Asamarume. Refer to the screenshot to learn how it's done.
  
  
• Edge 2, 3 and Meitou can now be crafted. Meitou would be a critical of a Asamarume Yon attempt.
  
  
• Crafted weapons now have a slight competitive bonus +10% blunt +10% cut to keep up with sellable weapons (they were intentionally weaker and I don't agree with that fact, leveling a crafter is an effort that should always be rewarded otherwise what's the point ?!)
  
  
• Vanilla Long Cleaver size has been restored to sething close to what the studio had planned in the first place (See screenshot for infos). This is not debatable.
  
  
• You can now discernate the grade of quality chapter (Ancient, Catun, Mk, Edge, Asamarume, Cross) by judging on the handle look which remains the constant for each subgrade.
  
  
• The 4 Asamarume quality grades will always be available in the crafting list, the base game will always be replaced by the most advanced.

Ichi : Black (Authentic or Alternate Crafted) / Blue (Alternate Authentic or Crafted)
Ni : Brown (Authentic or Alternate Crafted) / Gold (Alternate Authentic or Crafted)
San : Blanc (Authentic or Alternate Crafted) / LightBlue (Alternate Authentic or Crafted)
Yon : Purple (Crafted Only) / Turquoise (Alternate Crafted Only)

IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT ASAMARUME WEAPONS

Crafted Asamarume weapons have a different texture file than those on sale. Hanjiro will explain to you that weapons he is selling don't cover all kind of weapons because his kind felt some were too barbaric to be a piece of art.
(Horse Chopper, Ringed Sabre, Flesh Cleaver, Holed Sabre, Iron Club, Iron Stick, Mercenary Club, Moon Cleaver, Paladin's Cross, Spiked Club, Staff, Short Cleaver not covered by his stuff). Make your way through crafting them will allow you to cover all kind of weapons including possible modded weapons which uses the base game texture file. You will also be able to reach a final 4th grade of quality (lvl 95) as a reward. Hanjiro weapons on sale (Authentic) have different manufacturer names (Ren, Hikari, Kaito, Genkei, Aiko) that reflect a different texture file that is the most suitable for the weapon shape, resulting a better texture. Sadly I could NOT apply that principle on crafted weapons since the game doesn't allow me to do that, the "homemade" code section deprive us to discernate any weapon kind, they are all in one big melee weapon container so one same texture is applied for everything. To sum things up : Weapon on sale are slightly more beautiful (cross tsuka handle, adjusted blade temper line, etc.) but crafted ones grants you a 4th grade of quality and better stats.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

- Why traditional cross silk handle is not on all (on sale) weapons ? => It went really wrong on most of round/thin handles, and it's not even realistic. Some texture also glitch.
- Why can't we put leather/silk on spear handle ? => Because these idiots thought it was a good idea to take texture from the blade and use it to make the shaft. (Bad texture mapping from the 3D file)
- Can I make a patch for this mod ? => If you want to tweak spawn rate, make them easier to get, cover another language, alter stats : fine to me. Other than that, ASK PERMISSION (Steal my hard work for your mod = no, try to make it as a patch).
