This simple package contains completely remade models and all-new textures for kamas, sickles, whips, darts, and shuriken. 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.

Consistent, quality work deserves recognition. I'll definitely be using this in my modules. _________________________ It makes the pages of the calendar go flying out the window one by one.

Failed.Bard: Ranged weapons are mostly done. Just have to make hundreds of inventory icons.
Thezibaim: I don't plan on reforging the magical staves yet. I've always seen them more as magical items than weapons. And my PW's players wouldn't see them if they were reforged, as a couple years ago I replaced all of the old staff models with a "magic staff overhaul" (sample screenshots are here on the Vault).
Toro: That sounds good, but HoF takes feedback/comments and votes. The community has shrunk a lot in the last few years, and the percentage of downloaders that vote has always been low, so HoF status is now something that rarely happens (my last one came almost 2 years ago).
By the way...thanks for the feedback, everyone. Yes, I like votes, but comments are really nice and definitely encouraging. I like to know what people think of what I've made. _________________________ World of Aenea (Hall of Fame PW and the origin of all my works)

werelynx: I modeled the darts after the description I found on Wikipedia (look for "dart, missile"), under "thrown darts". Heavier than arrows, but shorter.
Henesua: The shurikens in this set are made to replace the existing shuriken models and icons. If using my "improved shuriken" hak, the reforged ones look better, but don't replace all of the ones from the improved hak (which has additional shuriken, not just replacements for default ones). _________________________ World of Aenea (Hall of Fame PW and the origin of all my works)

Woot!
I'll have to see if these shuriken add much to the wonderful shuriken you already put out there. _________________________ Vault Submissions | Arnheim | Beyond Vives

Another override I will be using. I think the darts are too large. Maybe make small darts and spear-like(maybe even such a throwing javelin) ones? Just a suggestion, don't really know if such thing is possible with override.
