Modding 75-115 clubs and longhammers

Modding 75-115 clubs and longhammers
a.k.a. giving each weapon their own look.

As we all know, 75-115 clubs and longhammers all use the same graphic, and if we edit their dds, they all turn into what you edited. I found a cure for this though.

As we know, weapon.ini shows us the info about the graphic.
For example, here we have lvl 100 long hammer, from weapon.ini.

Material0=default
As you can see, it uses the texture for lvl 75 longhammer.
Here comes the point of my guide: We want it to use lvl 100 longhammer texture, which we have made, since CO doesn't have one. So, we change it like this:

Mesh0=540140
Texture0=540198
MixTex0=0
MixOpt0=0
Asb0=5
Adb0=6
Material0=default
This is the correct way of doing it, but suddenly, our longhammer just disappears.
It wont show on your characters hand correctly, only a shady reflection of it remains.

Here is what I found out: CO doesn't only use weapon.ini to define the texture-dds for weapons,
it also uses 3Dtexture.ini. As from there, we will have to find the longhammer part, that looks like this:

540116=c3/texture/540116.dds
540118=c3/texture/540118.dds
540125=c3/texture/540125.dds
540126=c3/texture/540126.dds
540128=c3/texture/540128.dds
540135=c3/texture/540135.dds
540136=c3/texture/540136.dds
540138=c3/texture/540138.dds
540145=c3/texture/540145.dds
540146=c3/texture/540146.dds
540148=c3/texture/540148.dds
As you can see, it ends to level 75 long hammer, that is the first of the last kind of longhammers.
Now we have to add a new longhammer, to make lvl 100 long to appear with a lvl 100 long.

Adding this small detail on 3Dtexture will make your lvl 100 longhammer edit visible and only on lvl 100 longhammer. Works similar with clubs too and every other longhammer.

This is not, I repeate, this is not a rip off from cofusion.org. I am Brownleaf, and I wanted to share my finding with you guys too, since I've seen a couple of club modifications in here and to me it would be annoying to have all clubs/etc. changing.

it is just the same. If you want the 120 one changed and no other then do the same shown but obviously its different ini and texture ids
