Arrowheads

[Arrowblood]

We all love optical realism. Thats why i post this.

This arrowhead:a needle bodkin visitors can't see pics , please register or login
 cant penetrate plate armor. It was designed for penetrating mail armours.


But this arrowhead ,a short bodkin visitors can't see pics , please register or login
 can penetrate plate armour AND mail armour.


So i want the arrowhead from the tatar arrows on the bodkin arrow and a new one for the tatar arrow:visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Because they deal high cut dmg against low armor.

If I could do this for you (custom replacement) would there be a reward?


EDIT: I offer because I think your reasoning is sound, but this sort of thing doesn't really get "officially" addressed that often... and I have the skills!

Solid. I would do it this afternoon, but I'm not sure when I'll be home this week. I'm on this ASAP though, now that it's so monetized .

Alright boys. Here's some pictures of the finished work! I've only got pictures of the custom Tatars here, because I only own Tatars in-game and can't afford Bodkins  . However, you already know what the bodkin heads look like - they're just ripped from those other arrows, as per your request, and put on the original bodkin shafts.

Implementing these into your game is simple. In your CRPG folder there is a subfolder called Resources. In there are all of your .brf files. One is called finalboss_arrows.brf. While I suggest you save the original just in-case something happens, all you have to do is replace it with my modified file, and voila, you should have the realistic arrowheads you so desperately need.

Note though - without getting too technical, the Texture and Material (two things a model needs) are supposed to match... and in the original file, they don't. I fixed that. Shouldn't be anything but good, but... well, this is why we're saving the original.

I can email you the replacement file - it's small enough. Let me know if you're interested. And then, after you've played with it a bit, you can decide if you want to give me glittering prizes for my hard work.

Can i use them now with the pack of final boss?

[Commodore_Axephante]

Does Final Boss's pack alter arrows? If so, then they might conflict. If not, you're good to go. I would be happy to make this work with his, if it doesn't, but I haven't been able to download his pack. Can't find a working link.

EDIT: Crap, I see now that his pack did in fact change arrows. What I sent you should revert the arrows back to the "original" look, except for the changes I made. Let me know if you want me to update his arrows instead - but that will require finding a working link to his pack, somewhere.

1 small problem is that i have absolute white arrows now 

[Commodore_Axephante]

Mhmm, must be the lack of Final Boss's textures. Ah well, that's why we saved the original, right? I'll see if I can't figure it out.

Just to be clear though, the bows didn't change, right? Just the arrows?

[Arrowblood]

well i crashed when i had the mod from boss, after i removed it via the launcher i had white arrows, but the arrowheads were changed.

[Commodore_Axephante]

Alright, a new, Final_Boss's Heirloom Model Pack Friendly version is ready! Emailing it to you now, Arrowblood, if you would be so good to test it once again.

Clearly you'll need to have the Heirloom pack installed.

Unfortunately I don't have any of the looms so I couldn't test them in-game, but the unloomed versions work swimmingly. Should be good!

Thanks for bearing with me

On this picture i use the masterwork tatararrows. The arrow quiver is filled with masterwork tatararrows as you can see at the red and white feathers.
The arrows i have in my hand is also a masterwork tatar arrow, he has the nice new arrowhead but the feathers of a +1 tatar arrow now.

On this picture i us masterwork bodkin arrows, again the quiver and the arrow head  are correct but the feathers of the arrow are from a unloomed bodkin arrow now.

Oh and don care about the terrain texture, that happens when i set the graphics from low to high without rejoining the server.

We're close. It's just difficult, because I can't look at the textures while I'm working (the problem I had during round 1, that I thought I fixed, but it made your arrows pure white). I'll see what I can do.
