Uruk-Hai Scimitar Sword ver.1

Description
A relatively crude and simple weapon, made en masse to arms the rapidly growing Uruk warriors.

Features
  • replacement for the Machete
  • handmade model and textures
  • custom blood decals overlay
  • complimentary HUD icon
  • no new sounds

Made this in my free time, the Uruk Hai scimitar sword blade thingy from the movie adaptation of Lord of the Rings. It was a good test run for me to learn L4D2 modding workflow while also practicing my modelling and texturing skills.

I still remember the first time I played L4D, I was a child back then terrified from my first hunter encounter and then I slowly discovered the wonders of mod (thank you OG gamebanana modders for you guys made my childhood) and fast forward to the future, now I'm making my first original compile and sharing my works in the workshop, what an experience and journey.

@all thanks for the support :)

@Spinach if you have preferable custom animations set just give me the link in the comment as I still have many Lord of the Rings themed weapons that I wanna create, then I'll see if it works (not a promise tho)
