B42 Rain's Axes & Blades

Description
This mod adds some cool new axes & long bladed weapons to PZ! It doesn't overwrite anything that's base PZ stuff, so it shouldn't cause issues with any other mods that also stay true to the base PZ code.

This is a work in progress, just like B42 unstable itself.



List of new stuff

Trait: Sword Enthusiast
"You collect and maintain swords on the regular." +1 Long Blade, +1 Maintenance. -4 points. Thanks to Steam user 운빨좆망겜 for the suggestion!

Bush Machete
A very well crafted Bush/Latin style carbon steel machete. Durable and sharp!
Curved Machete
Not quite a hawkbill, but still a hooked-blade machete that's just a bit longer than the other machetes.
Sawback Machete
A true multitool! You can hack zombies to pieces with it, and you can use the hard toothed saw blade to turn logs into planks. Leave your saws at home if you find one of these! (You'll still need a hacksaw to saw metal, duh)
Bush Machete (Long)
A two-handed long-handled version of the Bush Machete for all your chopping needs!

Hatchet
A run-of-the-mill carpenter's hatchet.
Bearded Hatchet
A more viking-style carving hatchet.
Axe (Fiberglass)
Similar to both the fire axe and the wood axe, but with one HUGE improvement. The handle is made of nylon-fiberglass composite which makes it exceptionally durable! The downside being that once you do break this fine tool, wood glue won't help you repair it...
Axe-Maul
An absolute behemoth, this massive splitting axe is exactly what your woodcutting efforts will need. It also has a nylon-fiberglass handle and because of its size and weight, you can bust through a wall with this thing! Just like a sledgehammer, but better!
2 different types of Wakizashi
Let's be honest, we all want to find a Katana at some point. Did you ever wonder why we didn't have Wakizashis too? Well now we do! It's very similar to the Katana, but both the blade and the handle are shorter, allowing you to use this fine collector's item as a onehanded weapon AND attach it to your belt.
1 new variation to the Katana
It's just another Katana with a different style handle, that's all.
2 different types of Tanto knives
Since we already have 2 Katanas and 2 Wakizashis, I thought it was a great suggestion from Steam user brandonl271 to add Tantos as well. :)
Swiss Army Knife
The vanilla multitool has a 1-in-2 chance to lose Condition so I decided to bring back the mighty Swiss Army Knife from the B41 version of this mod. Go ahead and try to break it. It will break you first.

About balance
The new katana and both wakizashis are almost just as rare as the basegame katana. I've given them a few additional possible spawn points.
The Axe-Maul is almost as rare and difficult to find as sledgehammers are. There are a couple of new spots where my stuff can spawn in though, so be vigilant when looting!

To-Do-List
Breaking, crafting and repairing recipes/scripts. I haven't yet had a proper chance to dig in deeply into the new B42 lua scripts so at launch my stuff might act a bit weird, just like everything else in the unstable.

Credits
Massive kudos to AnOutdatedMind for creating the 3D model for the sawback machete!

Like my mods? Want me to make something for you? :)

You can do this really, really easily for your local copy if you want. :D Scroll on over to the mod's folder in your steam/workshop and then down to 42 Rain's Axes & Blades\Contents\mods\B42 Rain's Axes & Blades\42\media\textures\weapons\1handed

Then open up the MacheteBush.png in Paint (yes, Paint) and color the handle red. Badabing, your bush machetes will have red handles. :D

@Dek4rD_of_H4LA
I won't be making my mods compatible with other people's mods. I have enough of a workload already, and I am severely undermotivated. :)

love your mods man, they are must have for any zomboid slayer connisseurs.
cherry on top would be if this was compatible with tactical sheaths mod.
fingers crossed )

we need a machete with a red handle

No it isn't. You have some sort of mod conflict, and my guess is one of the many hotbar mods that still haven't been properly updated for B42's LUA. Some hotbar mods still use B41 LUA and they are simply broken.

Axe [fiberglass| is bugged. If you equip it it duplicate itself to your back, one in your hand and you cant use any of them, you cant even change it for another weapon. Solution is quit game and load save so you can atleast drop it to the ground.

Am i just an idiot for playing with too many mods? your weapons are spawning with reduced condition for me. every one that ive found has some missing. it might be because im playing with durable weapons and tools mod, but thats the only thing i can think of that would be conflicting
