📋 About This Mod

A Klingon bat\'leth fit for a champion of the Empire

WHAT IT DOES For now it adds an original Klingon Bat\'leth, called the Dahar Master\'s Bat\'leth. (A Dahar Master is a klingon warrior who has become a legend among their peers, because of their heroic deeds.) It is loosely inspired by the legendary Sword Of Kahless, but still an original mesh. It\'s supposed to be a great warrior\'s bat\'leth from the same era, rather than actually the legendary sword of Kahless himself. It is roughly 116 cm long (about 46 inches) from tip to tip, and the grip width is 5cm (2 inch), both sizes stated by Jadzia Dax in DS9 Blood Oath, and confirmed by an actual Dahar Master as being \"a warrior\'s configuration.\" It has a blade about a quarter of an inch thick. Well, that is assuming that a normal human is about 5\'10\" or so in the game. It weighs 12 pounds because that\'s roughly what the 5. 3 kilos stated by Jadzia convert to, rounded to the nearest integer. Like all my two-handers is is powerful, though not over the top, and has twice the chance to crit and does double damage to limbs. On a critical hit, it knocks down. (Seems to me fairly realistic at that weight.) It can be repaired with chinese officer swords. Granted, it doesn\'t make much sense, but honestly nothing else really makes much more sense either. It\'s available in 4 versions, namely in all combinations of black leather wrap or brown leather wrap, and with or without the Klingon Empire insignia embossed on the blade. You can decide for yourself which you like more. The extra features are denoted by one or both of the letters B (brown) and E (embossed) at the end of the name. So for example a \"Dahar Master\'s Bat\'leth BE\" means brown wrap AND embossed. NOTE FOR PURISTS Yes, this is not canon in any sense. If that bothers you, don\'t download it. RETEXTURING Unlike some of my other mods, this one uses a plain orthogonal projection of the blade. (Albeit of the sword before being bent, to save on texture size.) So it should not pose any extra difficulties if anyone wants to paint a new texture for it. Alternately, I\'m including a B/W mask in the images which can be used as transparency for a layer. Make a new 1024x2048 image, fill a layer with a lighter metal texture for the edges, and one with a darker metal for the rest of the sword blade, and use the mask as alpha for the layer on top. This will blend smoothly between the two metals for you, without requiring ANY graphics skill at all. So just pick whatever two metal textures you like (rusty, shiny, scratched, damascus steel, whatever) and there you go, if you can do a colour-to-transparency in GIMP with the mask, you can get a good enough texture. Alternately, just use one layer with whatever metal texture you wish, create a second layer on top of it, load the mask in the layer, set its transparency to something like 25% to 50% (use your own eyes there as a gauge). Now when you export as dds and merge layers, it will just whiten the sharpene
