Shidan's Tweaks and Fixes adds cleavers to cannibals, which is not compatible with the new weapon manufacturers introduced by cannibal expanded mod. This mod is not the cause.

does it still clash with the textures of the cannibals expanded mod?

I think this mod is clashing with the Cannibals expanded mod, replacing the textures on all combat cleavers & short cleavers with the meat hammer texture.

I haven't noticed any other problems with this awesome mod though (heven't really tested this issue to be honest, my load order might just be messed up thanks to the last update)
Awesome mod!

@violated chicken weapons look metallic is definitely not compatible with my mod. Although there is I think a patch one guy did that add metallic textures to my weapons (thing i don't like honestly, either all metal of the game looks metalic or neither like unified) that's why i'm uninformed about it. The sheath you're describing is definitely not mine for the mkII. As for your import/reimports when there are uncompatibilities well ... from my experience it always become an open door for further disagreements.

@Shirohô Sorry I described it a bit wrong, my sheath looks like metal not rusted metal. Also, I used to have the mod "weapons look metallic" but I have since uninstalled this mod so I'm not sure what's causing this. Also the worst thing about this is that everytime I try to import my game to see if it changes anything my game freezes in the landing screen. Only way I can import is if I import buildings too and my sheath is still messed up, maybe if I carft new guardless katana on import it will change? Problem is I have no building to craft a new one.

@violated chicken Do you see on my screenshot for mk2 the bottom picture? So the base game texture mapping should render the guardless katana with a whole dark sheath, and the blade inside (sadly) not properly displayed with temper line and such. That last point is not my fault but because of the SHITTY work of kenshi texturer on this one. Still the sheath should be nicely done and I'm afraid this is not what you described. So may be you have another mod that texture weapons and conflict only on this one? Could be possible with all those compound pack mod sometimes. Make sure the colors belong to the screenshot on this mod to check it out.

@Shirohô That's weird because the guardless katana sheath just looks like rusted metal for me (m.k. 2 quality). Also I don't see a picture for guardless katana so idk what it is supposed to look like.

@violated chicken of course there is.

are there not any textures for the guardless katana?

I like how the textures increase the beauty of the weapon, from a rusty piece o steel to a masterpiece forged by the hands of a god, thank you!!

Hi, can I use your mods in my build?

I don't know if this author is still active, but to Shiroho or any patchers out there, a patch between this mod and "More Meitou - Lost Weapons of Cross" would be incredible. I love the way the weapons in this mod look, but I also wish there were MORE Meitou weapons. I don't want any of the Cross weapons I acquire looking worse than a Mk1 weapon of the same variety. I would love to see a patch for these two mods, because both are fantastic. Cheers

bro your mods are always good keep on

I'm assuming this doesn't work with "missing sheath:Beta"?

tbpf what kicked it over the moon wasn't even the models, now I can tell Rusting Junk from a Higher Tier Weapon just by looking at the inventory icon.

Also Just want to say, I was skeptical at first towards these textures, but the Workshop screenshots don't really do them justice. These changes are very welcome :D

Thanks D

@Nysch This one is just a texture replacer, that guy was talking about the more complexe version (linked in description). He commented here but I assumed he was refering to that, I can confirm you this mod doesn't touch to anything else.

Wait, I thought this was only supposed to be a texture replacer? Why does it effect research? (referencing Momo Killer of Lower Life Forms Conversation)

@Shirohô Thank you! Keep up the great work with the mods!

@Momo Killer Of Lower Life Forms (Damn, what a pseudo lol) You need to find Hanjiro, can't craft the Asamarume secret weapons without meeting one of them in flesh. He is in fishing village (north) ^ ^

@Shirohô this book is needed for research in 'Smithing' subsection, tech is called "Old Empire Secret Smithing: Asamarume (1,2,3)". The tech called "Advanced Weapon Grades 2" is a requirement for Asamarune 1 so if you don't see it - you are not there yet.
Actually I was wondering where can I get those books because I didn't see one yet and I am ready for this research. So where do I get those books?

@lds_101 Thanks, and sorry but I disagree with that at 100% it totally satisfy me the way it is now
(I've played with it almost hundred hour already and love to see the change of main tones). Also remember I do my mods for me and friends before anything (Since people were rough to me in the past on steam I don't do any efforts anymore, hope you get it). So now it's the handle to check how advanced it is and rest of steel/metals to change flavour through the subgrades. If you are not happy with it, you can always rearrange the texture files within the mod folder by renaming them to swap some grades (this mod won't be often updated since I have nothing to add for now, or/and it will happen rarely).

>>Shirohô
Thanks for the mod! Looks superb!
Yet color code is a little bit confusing. I would prefer similar main color for the grade and small tone or details change to distinct the level of the grade.

I tweaked the vanilla katana including the handle maps, and added it to my weapons mod. Let me know if that helps with your textures.

@Crossek Yes ^^ Absolutely, this is the primary purpose of it. (The fact it alters other modded weapons is just a side effect : p)

can i use it with vanilla weapons without any mods that add weapons?

Thanks for the feedback, i've been re-mapping vanilla as i go which is why template boundaries are so important for when things are pushed to the limits / but simple is always safest. I'll take a look at katana handle it's not one i was aware of.

@SnugSnug I made one from myself, found every limit by testings a long time ago ... didn't know there was this. Anyway, be very cautious, depending of the weapon, the limits are altered (especially with the separation of the edge and the blade). I wish icould be better in 3D modeling and rearrange that limit with a new and better UVmapping (if you know someone who can do that). Same for the fact that spear take their shaft texture on the blade metal (which is crap). Or the fact desert sabre and hunting sabre have stupid UVMapping, and finally katana handle can't be very detailed because there are lot of mess on it (succeeded to make cross silk but only with a new manufacturer edition, can't be crafted).

Appreciate the effort you've put in, big fan of your work! makes me wanna step up my game XD.
Downloaded to check compatibility and looks good. I've been using https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2728127531 as the basis for re-working most modelling and textures but if you have a similar template be worth checking against.

@Captian_Vlad Hehe, I think no one will ever imagin how much sweat/time I injected into this. My real life work suffered from this mod xD less salary this month and all. But it was worth it, no regrets !

Man I've been using a really old mod to make weapons look like metal but holy molly these are leagues above anything I've seen!

Thanks for your comments guys. Next Big update (well more like medium actually) will be on my Armor Mod ! (lot of adjustments / balance / Some new armor pieces)

good!!!!!!

Fantastic work as usual :)

*Subscribing intensifies*

these are freakin sweet, straight upgrade from vanilla

Pretty damn good. Makes all of the weapons look a lot less bland and make quality ones stand out.

Вау.

@Frission Yeah I didn't removed my reshade. If you're interrested it's one of my mods called Radiant Reshade preset, can't play without it. You have to manually install it (get reshade, then put the preset in my mod folder elsewhere) weakest pc don't seem to handle it well, apparently most of the charge is on the CPU (if you have a good cpu then you don't have to worry). You can always try and remove it.

why's everything look kinda cell shaded in the screenshots?

@cubicPsycho The same guy that did the weapon dissemination mod, he did a few more pieces that he didn't include in the big pack (5-6 additional weapons which are really good). I don't like the big pack he did because a few of them sucks so I took only those i love one by one from his workshop.

What mod adds that axe? It looks great

Wow these textures are so so nice. I am glad you made the earlier grades feel like actual usable weapons rather than just orange messes that all look the same. And gawd damn that meitou texture is nice and will make finding them actually rewarding. Thank you for your great mods.

@OffYourTopic Hehe, well said ! And the screenshots don't do justice to how to looks in game (I'm lazy to do some more for now), I bet you will enjoy them even more at close ups or fitting with other armor color tones.

These look great! I really like the new sheaths, vanilla sheaths always looked too beat up or rusty and gross, even with some of the higher grade weapons. 100% using this!
