Custom Katana: Hayabusa

[diviee3]

Yo guys,

WoW seriously lacks good looking katanas imo, that is why i decided to make a custom one. I ripped it off the game PSO, textured it and converted it to .m2 format. I honestly have no idea if it works in wotlk, since i only play on (pre)tbc.

Here are some images:





(however images cant show how good this baby looks ingame )

TO INSTALL:

Simply put the patch-X.MPQ in your worldofwarcraft/data folder.
The katana replaces the Typhoon model.

However if you want to make it swap another model, follow these steps:

1. Look for a weapon name in program like wowmodelviewer.
2. Open the file patch-X.mpq with a mpq editor such as MyWarcraftStudio.
3. Change the filename of Sword_2H_Korean_C_01.m2 into item\ObjectComponents\Weapon\newweaponname.m2
4. save and close archive.

note: its very important to keep the exact name.

I did a quick 30 second touchup of the texture in photoshop, I'm getting ingame screenshots of it at the moment, will post results soon.

Well, the katana looks nice. But it seems like it is too big for the character. Picture you're selv a Gnome with that katana
Anyways, the textures could need some work. And probably the scaling as well

Would have been even cooler, if you would have created it on your own.

But GJ anyways ^^ There are way too few katanas in wow!

thanks guys for the comments and thank you hypnotoad i was going to improve the texture a bit more but to lazy lol

Hmm.. As I thought, considering the change in .m2 structure, no the patch did not work for me. Running WOTLK 3.3.5.
Anywho, here is the retexture. Feel free to extract the .blp and put it in your patch.
