Great package, especially the Longsword and Greatsword models.
However, I wish this came separated by folders, 'cause I didn't like the scimitar and rapier models :( and I don't know which files they belong so I can't really remove only the ones I disliked.

I love it! Nice touch and the override format is what I love!
Well it makes sense now that it was made specifically with Arbor Falls in mind, but you might have mentioned that in the description. 8)
I just might take you up on your offer of informative help, as I've had a hell of a time trying to understand what certain model require (heads mostly) to be recognized by NWN. If I knew how to replace weapon types with one model, I could handle all the textures myself.
Yeah, Sixethrice's Spears really are something special.
Grey_Ghost, my intention was to replace the weapon models provided to level 1 characters by default weapon merchants. The default longsword, for example, does not use top "1," middle "1," and bottom "1" but rather top "1," middle "1," and bottom "6." That's why I have provided a model "1" longsword and model "6."
I'm sorry further colors aren't available. I, too, wish Quinn would include a copper tone for color "3" and shift the darker textures to color "4," but such is life.
I can create overrides for all the models, if preferred. I simply avoided doing so to accommodate Arbor Falls, which has some existing overrides in place.
You can move the weapons around, too. I like using the Elven model currently applied to the rapier as a short sword when playing an Elven Ranger. It looks great in-game, but the inventory picture comes out distorted. I would be glad to help show you how to move things around, if you'd like. Just send me a PM.
If you prefer a non-replacing HAK version instead of the override, look up "LOTR Weapons" in a vault search, and you will find Quinn's HAK.
I appreciate the feedback from everyone. I'm glad to be of assistance. Everyone please check out Sixethrice's Spears Redux, too. His weapon overrides are the best on the vault. Maybe, if enough people praise (and pester) him, he'll continue his work and eventually create overrides for all the weapon models.
"will override the introductory base model of the following weapons"
Whoops, should have read closer. Still that statement isn't entirely true as several replace more then just the base model. I honestly don't see why this is for an override.
Holding back my rating on this... Unless I am missing something, this doesn't seem like Override material in it's current state.
Longbows: only replaces model 1 which means all bows would have to be edited to make use of it, but it does all 4 colors.
Short sword: only models 1 & 2, only blade does Color 4.
Rapier: only model 1 (though the default middle pieces don't look half bad with it), and no color 4 support.
Scimitar: only model 1 (BW middles look nice though, and no color 4 support
Longsword: only model 1&6, no color 4.
Greatsword: only models 1 thru 4 (is that odd model 7 used anywhere though?), and each sword has to have it's matching top/middle/bottom or it doesn't line up properly & no color 4 support.
Greataxe: has all models (Great!), but no 4th colors 8(

Of course! I did this FOR Arbor Falls! I guess I should start making a note of that in my submissions.
The next venture I'm working on is relocating the weapons from the SS Armory to override the standard models. I'm hoping to completely replace all the standard models eventually.
Hopefully, sixethrice will continue his weapon redux project, as well. His work with the spears is the type of override I'd really love to see more of. They correspond with the standard models like Project Q's work with the shields.
