.DAT question

[CmdrFly]

Been looking at some .DAT files to swap around, my farming gear is kinda ugly. I'd like to try this:

or this:

for obvious reasons; I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't hit ZM8 yet.

I know most of the JP folks who make these .dat's do the mod only for mithra's. Do weapons fall under the same restrictions as armor? Do I have to find a weapon modded for elvaans to make this thing work?

Also, these weapon models don't look familiar at all. Does the .dat file contain model AND texture info, or is one .dat for the model and another for the texture?

Lets but it this way cmdr... How does a dark staff look on an elvaan a taru and a mithra.

Exactly the same, only smaller? You can resize 3D models pretty easily with minor re-rendering overhead, I just don't know if they've taken that route or if they did the unnecessary work and made separate weapon models for each race.

They made seperate .dats for weapon sizes, you can find that out by checking the model viewer.

Crap.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll be stickin with my ugly blue sword and toothpaste shield for a while.
