Original Release: Jan. 16, 2012
Updated: Feb. 18, 2013
This simple package contains completely remade models and all-new textures for hand axes, battle axes, dwarven war axes, greataxes, double axes, and throwing axes. There are two options when using this upgrade: hak or override.
The override version can be dropped right in the NWN/override folder and contains the models, new .tga format inventory icons, and a modified baseitems.2da file.
The hak version contains the same files, plus .dds format inventory icons (which are needed to override the default icons in-game when using a hak). It goes into the NWN/hak folder.
The model designs are based largely on the existing models, so they will have similar shapes and basic coloration.
The basic layout of the weapons has been altered for purposes of better design and improvement to the inventory icons. The "top" part is still the top section. The "middle" part is now the end caps on the handles (both top and bottom caps), and the "bottom" is the weapon's grip.
This package includes a change to baseitems.2da to make throwing axes use the same icons/models as hand axes, just as dwarven war axes use the same icons/models as battle axes. If you are already using a copy of this 2da file in another hak, you'll want to change your copy's entries for throwing axes to match the model and icon names for hand axes (leaving all other columns as they are, it's just an appearance change).
All new inventory icons are included in this hak, made from screenshots of the actual models rather than the previously not-really-accurate images. These icons will not correctly line up with older versions of the inventory icons.
The basic metal textures have all been redone, and now include (in general):
color 1 = polished steel
color 2 = gold
color 3 = bright copper
color 4 = adamantine
Wood and all other textures are also new for Project Reforged.
The included demonstration module is intended to show off the changes made with the override version of this package. If you want to use the hak version, simply open the module in the toolset, add the hak to the custom content for the module (Edit > Module Properties > Custom Content), save, and play it like normal.
Downloads fixed with textures that were missing. Those already using other parts of this project may not have noticed, since all the parts make use of the textures that were missing from this part. _________________________ World of Aenea (Hall of Fame PW and the origin of all my works)

Possibly found the issue. Looking in the chain weapons hak, I noticed that there were certain tga files that were not included in the slashing weapons hak; specifically 12 files that start with "ad_" and 11 files that start with "gem_". I'm assuming that as I wish to use this content as an override, but certainly the "ad_" files are not original content, that there is nothing to overwrite.
Am I correct in my thinking? :) _________________________ Deputy Admin and Builder Foreman Link

And just to clarify, when I use the hak version, everything works beautifully; it is just attempting to use it as an override that I run into issues. :) _________________________ Deputy Admin and Builder Foreman Link

I seem to be having an issue using the override version of this work. I extracted all the files provided into my override folder, but while the inventory icons were properly clorized, the models were all just shiny silver. To me that implied missing textures. So I opened the hak and saw that the DDS files had not been included in the override files, and dropped those into my override folder as well. Unfortunately, they are still not showing up. Is there something else that I need to be thinking about? I really would love to use these in an override, and LOVE the look of them in the attached .mod file. And whether or not I can use it now, I'm even voting, as this work deserves no less than a 10...and possibly an 11. ;) _________________________ Deputy Admin and Builder Foreman Link

Thanks for letting me know. I just uploaded new copies with updated .dds icons for hak use. _________________________ World of Aenea (Hall of Fame PW and the origin of all my works)

The axes are showing up upside-down when I tried combining the hak dds files with my own haks. I had to recompile the dds files to fix them. _________________________ It makes the pages of the calendar go flying out the window one by one.

Project re-forged is amazing. Especially because it is the work of a single creator.
