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.
I wouldn't use the old one. I've updated to include spear and katana, now.

Also, does the Katana version that used to be posted here still work in MotB? I currently have that file in my override, but will it cause conflicts?

Excellent idea! 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.

Thanks!

Okay, added.

Interesting! Would it be too much to ask for a falchion version?

I just updated it, finally. 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.

Short sword, please? My duel-wielding, DEX based Ranger will thank you for it.

Second on the warhammer. My dwarven hammerdin would LOVE you forever.
