[help] Sword texture replacer/override

Hello,



I would like to know if it is at all possible to use a mod's texture on a separate vanilla sword.



The mod in question is this (https://www.nexusmod...cher3/mods/1166), a mod that creates a custom texture for the sword "Longclaw" (http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Longclaw) and makes it resemble Jon Snow's weapon from GoT.

I'd like to simply apply the mod's texture to Geralt of Rivia's sword (http://witcher.wikia...f_Rivia's_sword), which you get from participating in the tourney.



My reason for this is that I want to keep the Geralts sword stats and name but I find it very ugly, whereas the aforementioned mod looks exquisite.



Does anyone know how I should go about doing this? I have Modkit and Modkitchen downloaded but don't really know how yo use them properly.



Many thanks in advance!
 
so you want the Geralt of Rivia sword to look like the Longclaw?
I think it's possible, in fact, rather easily. I mean, I know of a way, that will work, but probably wont be best way. Nevertheles, I dont have the game installed, and so i cant do it myself.

What you have to do is
>install the GoT longclaw mod
>you should follow this guide, more or less. It is outdated in a way, but the base principles are the same.

>once you know the equip_template of the longclaw, you should uncook the xml of blood and wine dlc, find the appropriate xml and sword, and replace equip_template.

It's actually easy, I just cant explain for shit.

Hey thanks a lot for the response!

Unfortunately I've spent most of today trying to do this, to no avail.

I uncooked both the Longclaw mod (so I could see the equip_template used for the sword) and the B&W folder (DLC/bob), and once I knew what the equip_template was for Geralt of Rivia sword, I changed that, and only that, to be the same as longclaw. I did the same for the one in gameplay/items/def_item_weapons and the one in gameplay/items_plus/def_item_weapons so as to edit both in base and NG+ modes.

Then I tried building the mod with those files and it seems everything went along nicely. But once I installed the mod via ModManager it seemed to be ok and there were no conflicts but nothing happened in game. I tried loading my save with the sword and also tried loading an earlier save and spawning it via console: alas, nothing. I spawned the Longclaw sword and it has indeed changed, but Geralt's sword, completely unchanged.

I tried doing this twice, once building the new mod with only the two files I actually modified, once with every file that was uncooked from the dlc folder, neither worked...

If anyone could point out what I did wrong, I'd be very thankful.
 
you could use amm (appearance menu mod) with the longclaw mod installed. and chose your equiped steel sword to appear as longclow
