Weapon | Pirate King's Sword

Okay, im progressing but im having trouble putting the UV Map and texturing it. This is all very new to me.i have a image up, and the new blender is a bit more confusing than 2.79 people use in the tutorials. stuff is just in different places. if i could connect them i can get it in game where i understand the 1s and 0s.

So far I've been making two models, one with the original texture and another with kenshi's shared texture template. I've also noticed how hard it is to find my damn swords n shit in game. I know I made them rare, but I also made them spawn equal chance on holy nation people for instance n shit. Idk

I just mean that you import the .mesh of a weapon as a template, you import your model and place it where that weapon is, then you export it as a .mesh with all those things checkmarked when you do.

If you have textures for the weapon and don't want the game to reskin your weapon using all the manufacturer skins, then all you do is make a new weapon model with your texture, a new manufacturer for that model, a vendor list with exclusively that model, then adding that vendor list to shops and whatever. If you want an npc to spawn with it, keep in mind base npcs can be modded by anyone. A mod might add a manufacterer to that npc and subsequently, your weapon will spawn with one of the base game textures and look fucked up.

If you want your weapon to use kenshi's weapon skins then simply edit the uv map. You can add this without a texture into vendor lists, npcs, anything really.

Make sure you add your weapon to the weapon smith functionality as well.

I'll have to mess around with it. I am also trying to juggle projects with blender and im learning as i go. I dont really know what you mean yet. Do you mean in blender you... place it in there, then export? and then the textures go in there? im sorry i am going to watch more videos.

weapons for kenshi don't seem to have a skeleton or bones to link the model to, you just place it where the mesh should be and export it with alot of the things on the side menu checked

What I do, probably not what you're supposed to do, is;
✓Export tangents
✓Export Binormals
XExport colour
✓Export shape keys
✓Apply Transform
✓Apply Modifiers

I literally have no idea what any of this shit does, one of them surely links the mesh to the game's skeleton though, instead of weight painting

How do i put things from SKFB into kenshi?
