This will change the Silver Sword's weapon type into whatever choice you download. Unlike previous versions of this pack, the silver sword you receive will no longer be the universal sword type. Instead, it will be of whatever weapon type you picked. Remember that this does mean you will require certain proficiencies to use it now.
Are you a Fighter who's specialized in Bastard Swords for your whole career who's just been given a useless Githyanki Silver Sword that won't work with your feats? Download this and fix that.
Unlike previous versions of this pack, your silver sword will now function with all the feats that relate to that weapon type, since it is now that weapon type. This new version also no longer uses baseitems.2DA, and so it's very unlikely to conflict with any other mods you might use. To install this, just stick the unzipped folder in your override folder.
Important: This will work on current saved games, but only so long as you have not yet gotten the silver sword! This works for both the OC and Mask of the Betrayer versions of the sword, and can be used even if you don't have the expansion.
All melee weapons have been covered (I think). I also may be adding in ranged weapons, but we'll have to see how that goes. I will certainly not be adding in thrown weapons, however. They use themselves as ammo, which means you can actually lose your silver sword by throwing its last use. This was rather funny in testing, but isn't practical. Thrown weapons also can't even have half of the special properties the silver sword gets, anyway.
Certain weapon types will look a little odd, by the way. Halberds and scythes will be held by the blade, for example. Also, any weapon marked with an asterisk (*) will not have the original silver sword's appearance. Because they do still have the silver sword's visual effect, these weapons will look very odd in the OC, but won't have that same look in the expansion. Uh... you'll see what I mean when you equip your dagger and suddenly a massive blade of shards appears on it.
There actually isn't any problem with the katanas. The issue is that you gave yourself the OC version of the silver sword while in the expansion. Only in the OC will the sword get the cool visual effect where the shards form in on it. If you want the expansion version of the sword, which already has a formed blade, its resource reference is:
nx1_silver_sword
:) No problem. I just downloaded the katana version and used debug to redo all the bastard sword related feats. Thanks for redoing the file though. Now I can use it elsewhere.
As a side note - the katana version doesn't display a blade in MotB. It displays the "magical" effect, but no blade. It looks very cool.
I apologize for that stupid mistake. The expansion version was correctly a bastard sword, but you're right that the OC version was instead a battle axe. That should be corrected now.
If you have a save from before that point, you can just use that and redo that part with the corrected bastard sword files. If you don't, then use the debug console and the giveitem command to create the silver sword. Its OC resource reference is silver_sword, so that would look like this:
`
DebugMode 1
giveitem silver_sword
DebugMode0
`
The script that sets the properties of the blade depending on your class will still run if the sword is generated in this way.
For anyone attempting to use the Scimitar version, you will have to do some editing to the 2da file. Scimitars were incorrectly flagged as light weapons, so they could not be wielded with two hands and power attack did not work with them. I believe this was fixed in 1.12. This file, however, does not include that fix, so you'll have to add it yourself.

Well damn, I guess I should read comments more thoroughly (just now seeing the post about how FoB won't work with this fix).
Darn.

Well, okay, maybe a little.

SushiSquid, will you become my best friend forever and ever and make this for the kama?
Yes, I want to use it with my monk's Flurry of Blows.
I just had one request...could the sword be adapted as a spear as well? Normally I wouldn't ask, but my Stormlord might as well use the sword to open cans at this point.

Oh, and about the kamas for monks... it still wouldn't work with Flurry of Blows for the same reason it won't work with Weapon Finesse. Monks would be better off using other kamas even if I made a kama fix for this, so I think making a kama fix would be pointless.
