Thanks for looking into it this far. I really appreciate it. You've done more than many other mod authors are willing to do.

Ah, that was the problem. I wasn't equipping them as shields. You might be able to tell, but I don't use vanilla expanded.

Anyway, I have looked over the files for VE Shields Addon, and I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. What *is* out of the ordinary is the list of people in the comments section having the same issue with a variety of other weapons. Given that there's nothing interesting going on in the files of this mod, I'm confident in saying that either Vanilla Expanded Framework or VE Shields is the source of the issue - and I really don't have the time or expertise to investigate any further.

If someone happens to find a solution, let me know!

No worries. Thanks for trying. Odd that you had he opposite problem I had. I assume you did change the settings both ways while testing? (Also, if you don't click "Equip As Shield" then it assumes you want to equip it as a weapon... its dumb. lol. Anyway, thanks for the effort. My search continues.

Hi Bard. I'm not sure what the issue would be - this katana is basically a vanilla weapon that is statistically similar to the longsword. I tried the VE shield addon mod just to test it out, and I couldn't get the mod to equip a shield and a katana at the same time.

There isn't any code in this mod (just some simple xml), so there shouldn't be anything unusual on my end. Sorry I couldn't offer a better answer.

I got a small... mod conflict? I use "VE Shields Addon". It's really the only hand-held shield mod that actually works. Anyway, within that mod, you can set various weapons to be allowed to wield with a shield or not. However, for this particular weapon, that option doesn't seem to matter. It's always "yes". I have other modded weapons and those ones seem to work fine with the shield mod. This one used to as well, but hasn't since 1.6. Is there anything you can do on your end with this? Is there any way I can help? Thanks ahead of time and thanks for the mod work.

Oh my, I know this is late, but thank you very much, this is a god send🛐

@Sushido Version bumped up for you. I will be releasing a small weapon collection that includes a katana soon, but this mod will stay up for people who only want katanas.

My goat, the 1.6 is out now

+1 Thank you for patching "Melee Animation".

Oh wow , Big thanks man, you're the🐐

It looks like that mod requires a specific patch to enable compatibility. I have done so, but it is more or less as a personal favour to you, so I hope it helps. :)

This one : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2944488802

Which animation mod?

yo author, i just tested the mod with the melee animation mod,and well i got greeted with a error in the menu after loading in,so i spawned a katana in one of my pawns inventory and the animations does not work with the katana,so yeah.

@Sushido This Katana mod is a simple xml mod, so while I haven't tested it, I would be very surprised if it didn't work :)

is this compatible with melee animation mod?

awesome. Thanks.

@TheBardofHearts Yes, actually. As it turns out, it was already working on 1.5, so all I had to do was update the tag.

I am working on other mods at the moment, so stay tuned for more :)

Any chance of this mod getting an update soon?

Probably. I haven't played the new update yet, but I think I'll want to have this when I do.

is a 1.5 update in the plans?

CE?

looks nice

fun fact: A long sword is stronger than a katana in most ways.
And if a weeb says it is not. I DARE YOU

glorious nipon steel folded 1000 times

should be substantially weaker than a long sword if historical accuracy is your aim

I Like This.

Does this sword come with a cheap Walmart fedora and "respect" for m'ladies?

These comments. lol

Dude, you made a katana that doesnt do more damage than a normal long sword? ARE YOU INSANE? THE BALLS ON YOU MY MAN ON DOING SUCH A THING WITHOUT FEAR OF REPERCUSSION COMING RIGHT AT YOU FROM THE WEEBS..

Amazing mod, thanks for making it balanced

Thanks guys :)

just a classy blade, nice

Wow a realistic katana. Nice to see one that can't chop a bus in half.
