Trying to add weapons from The Witcher 2

[ThatGuyx]

Hey guys, I've managed to find a few of the sword models but I can't figure out how to export the rest of the models from the game. Does anyone know how? I know its possible as there are some mod makers that seem to have done it but I can't seem to figure it out. I just have a pack of sword models from the game that someone else uploaded right now and it isn't nearly all the swords, not even couting the other weapons you can use in the game as well.

 

 

Thanks :)

i could help, but srsly dude, did you check the weapons section? this has been done already millions of times, and to be honest, some of them are so amazing that even my orc likes the stuff. well, simply good luck, dude

Well first off, you can get banned if you take things from one game and put them in another. Most of the mods out there that...have weapons from other games aren't actually from those other games. The mod author made those weapons completely from scratch so as not to get in any legal trouble...or any trouble period.

CD Project RED has allowed to port their stuff to other games as far as I know.

Perhaps but Bethesda doesn't want people to put things from other games in their games...they've said it time and time again they even get mad when you were to pull a file straight from Oblivion and put it into Skyrim. You can mod how you like but they get mad when you take other games file and put them into theirs.

Never modded The Witcher...what have you got so far? 3D models only, no textures? If you already have the textures...which one? Diffuse ("color"), Normal Map, Specular Map... ?

 

If you have the 3D mesh (as example .obj file) and textures (you just have to convert them to .dds using GIMP or PS with Nvidia DDS Plugin) it's no big deal...

There seem to be plenty of mods that add stuff from the game and are direct ports and no one has gotten banned yet. CD Project RED has allowed it, so I really don't think there is much Bethesda can do about it.

 

I aim to make a more complete mod as most of the ones I can find don't contain many of the weapons.

I have models and textures for some swords, I'm working on getting more of them right now. Some of them just don't seem to work, but I'll find a way to fix them I'm sure.

The thing is, what do you mean by having the models? In which format are the models?

 

I just describe how I import Witcher models to skyrim:

- import the witcher model to blender using the script from the xentax forum

- import a skyrim model to blender as a reference

- reposition and rescale the witcher model to the size of the skyrim model

- then there are 2 ways, you can export the model directly from blender to a nif file or you can export as obj and then import the obj to a nif with nifskope

I recommend using the obj way only for unweighted models like close combat weapons (not bows, crossbows and armors)

- the nif can be imported to skyrim with the creation kit

 

You can find very good tutorials for each step using google.

I have the script from the forums, it loads up and everything but when I find a model and try to import it, nothing happens. Any idea what the problem might be?
