mutator to add new weapon

I've modeled this weapon

and MarZer is going to try and help me get it in game, we want it to be exactly the same as the Bsword, just a visual replacement so it wont require new animations. but we've run into some problems..

1) Given the current system Chaos uses, Is it possible to seamlessly add a new melee weapon?
if so:
2) Looking through the various MeleeSword Classes, there doesnt seem to be any reference to a mesh anywhere. How is it that a particular mesh is tied to the weapon?

Nice model! :)

You should make use of smoothing groups, the weapon looks a bit soft, especially the blade.

Meshes are tied to the weapon in the weaponattachment class instead of the weapon class itself.

neolith this was just a rushed render from a friend, i even had to export to a crappy format to get it too him that lost some detail :) dont worry the blade will look nice and sharp >:D

Edited your post Bananaslat. The link is still there, just not the pic itself.

You might, or might not I guess, remember that we've been down this road before, with a weapon replacement mutator, and we edited that just the same. We did not want pics of our melee fighting with other 3rd party weapons here on the forums. We do have casual visitors, and we didn't want folks to scan our forums briefly and think those pics were from our mod.

As far as I know, none of us have an issue with somebody making a mutator just for use with Chaos as he has proposed..., but for the time being at least, no pics on our forums of Chaos melee with non-Chaos weapons.

Perhaps if there are enough weapon makers, there can be a subforum called "Modded Weapons"

Not a bad idea. If it comes to that, I'm sure we'll figure out something.
