📋 About This Mod
Name: Z\'s Negotiator Sword Version: 1. 0 Author(s): Always Z Details ======= This mod adds in a new weapon mesh based off of the negotiator sword from Hellgate: London. The sword can be found in the possession of a maurader placed in a custom dungeon, Dyraze cave, north of Bruma. There are two versions of this mod, one is the non-OBSE version that is just the weapon. The other will switch out the model of the sword depending on the damage taken. At 50% damage, the sword\'s model will change to one that is damaged. Once you fix the sword, it will go back to normal. The OBSE version REQUIRES OBSE v0009e or any later version, it will not work without it! You can find the latest version of OBSE at http://obse.silverlock.org/ Install ======= 1. Extract the files to a temporary location. 2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary. 3. Copy files to (install folder)\\Oblivion\\Data\\ 4.

Known Issues or Bugs ==================== When first equipping the OBSE version of the sword, if drawn immediately the sword will be the damaged one. I don\'t know why it does this and I was not able to work around it. It is a simple fix of waiting a couple of seconds before you actually draw your sword though. So just wait a couple seconds after equipping your sword and drawing it and it will be fine!
