I don't know if it works，but nice work！

Thank you!

Added to my modlist. Good job, besthsq!

I want to say thank you for the continued support from you all. I haven't got a chance to say this but the appreciation from you really impacts my life in a big way.

Can I take your mod for my build? With the provision of yours in the credits

Good idea. Kenshi making weapons as rusted as they are isn't very realistic considering humans can build entire cities from sandstone.

is it possible to make the sheath and handle of the weapon darker? the blade is darker now but the sheath and handle are bright as hell.(e.g. a mk II Paladin's Cross's sheath and handle)

Glad you enjoy it!

Man this really helps on the eyesore of bright weapons. Thx!

Thank you too!

thanks for the mod

Dunno. Maybe you can do better.

isnt that shine "chrome" and not "metal"

looks unrealistic to me

It is possible, although not by editing the textures, but the UV mappings of the models. All of the weapons use the same texture files. UV mapping information that come with the models tell the game what parts of the texture to use. The polearms only have shiny "poles" because they were made to use the metallic parts of the textures. If you'd like to, you can look into the models yourself. This kind of fix is out of the scope of this mod.

Is it possible to fix that the "pole" of a polearms gets that metallic shine too?

It's like restoring cut content to the game. Like The Cutting Room Floor of Kenshi.

Before I knew anything about modding, I thought these were custom textures or something. Now I see you are using what is available in base game that wasn't used. Not saying that's bad, but just blown how this wasn't implemented to begin with.

Всегда нравилось то как сделана оружка в игре, и белое оружие самое лучшее. Если хочется металик играйте катуном и МК. Там нормальная железная текстура.

Кто качает подобные моды те конченные дегенераты.

blue weapons

Use them at your will then. Good luck.

I just mean that i made many skins that don't have metalness textures and I was wanting to try and liberally apply them to various skins, see what sticks. Then I was saying that I never applied your metalness to talonn's manufacturer mod using his skin as a new manufacturer, he never contacted me about using it

@Trinity I'm not sure I understand what you'll do with my mod but you have my permission.

@Dynamiez Thank you!

can I use this for my own skins?:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2785144425
etc?
I don't really know what I'll apply them for and talonn never got back to me about your metalness

Wow, weapons really look so much nicer with this mod. Very good work :)

I'd love to help but I'm afraid I have no idea how it's going to turn out sorry. :(

can this be used with radiants retex mods?

Please feel free to do so! It will be my honor! Technically you don't need my permission as long as you make the files by yourself. But it's very nice of you that you asked!

Can I put your metalness into my Talonn Weapon Manufacturer mod that I made for Talonn? I'll be putting it in for the dust gold "model" weapon skin.

I've been recently messing around with metalness and I'm feeling comfortable enough to start applying them liberally

Thanks for the reply. Mb I just forgot how it looked before.

I'm sorry the mod doesn't work for you. I just checked on my side with the game up to date and only this mod enabled and it still works. The effect is rather sutble and is most noticible on high grade weapons. It could be a mod conflict issue but I'm not sure.

I don't see the difference, maybe the mod doesn't work.

I don't know what happened but this mod suddenly stopped working and I can't figure out why. I have improved smithing and the patch, everything was working as intended for the longest time, but now it's not.

🤟😎

omg, this is soo metal!!

thank god this is a thing

@besthsq only other mod I can think of that might be messing this up is radiant reborn vanilla weapons but that mod should make the sheath a darker wood/leather color

guardless katanas and at least one of the polearm types have shitty UV mapping, that might have something to do with it. in the vanilla game the guardless katanas entire blade uses the same texture as the edge. same for the polearm, the handle is the same texture as the blade

Do you happen to use any model replacement mod? There's the possibility that the new model could be using other parts of the texture without realizing they are metal. This is only an assumption though.

I crafted a guardless katana mk 1 and the sheath looks completely metal. Maybe an issue on my end? Almost like the sheath is the same texture as the blade.

Just installed the game and checked and I don't believe I made them metal looking? What weapon grade of the weapon might you be looking at? I always thought the brownish orange parts were rust because that part of texture is also used on blades covered with rust. The white ones though I'm sure were wood so I didn't make them metal. It's been more than three years since I made the mod and some of them do look a bit wacky to me now. Thanks for the feedback!

Love this mod but weapons that have wooden sheaths like the ninja blade or guadless katanas look messed up because the sheath looks metal instead of wood. Is there a way of changing this?

@besthsq disregard. turns out it was just the sheath i was looking at. the katanas and whatnot all have wooden sheaths, so they look kinda derpy when they arent unsheathed.

@OnionLord777 Which weapons would you be referring to? I've not played the game for a long time, and I've lost touch.

could it be possible to do a future overhaul that turns the wooden looking weapons into actual blades?

Thank YOU! Glad you're enjoying it!

This is GREAT! Thank you besthsq

Aww you really know how to make a man happy. Thanks for the comment!

The lower-quality weapons look really good with this, especially the unknown ones, they look like proper rusty pieces of shit instead of like, unpolished copper. Really good job on that fr

Thanks for the report!
