This simple package contains completely remade models and all-new textures for scimitars, katanas, longswords, bastard swords, greatswords, and two-bladed swords. 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 and new .tga format inventory icons.
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 of the model. The "middle" part is now both the guard and pommel, and the "bottom" is the weapon's grip.
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.

This is really impressive. I'm surprised by the lack of votes. _________________________ It makes the pages of the calendar go flying out the window one by one.

These are beautiful but they're very high poly for such small items. Most of the extra faces get eaten in the smoothing groups and the shadowing eats frames when that's turned on. Reworking these to be less complex would change the look only a little and be a slam-dunk!
